Long Overdue

[valiantothello]

I often see the sentiment of "Dick grayson has a temper/is a huge asshole" percolate across this fandom and I want to talk about a few panels people typically use to show this.

Here's one from his New Titans days:

"YOU SEE THAT? "PLAYBOY POWS PAPARAZZI!" I CAN SELL THIS ONE TO EVERY PAPER IN THE COUNTRY! "I THINK HE BROKE MY JAW!" "PRINT THAT PHOTO AND I'LL BREAK SOMETHING THAT WON'T HEAL!" "I'LL SUE YOU, GRAYSON! I GOT IT ON FILM! I GOT WITNESSES!"

New Titans #97

But most people like to omit the previous panel:

"KORY, DON'T! KORY! YOU KNOW I DON'T CARE FOR HER. I WASN'T PAYING ATTEN-- I MEAN, I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS SLEEPING WITH HER. I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU! OH, GOD--KORY, YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU. KORY!?!"

"MAN, IT WAS A GOOD THING WE WERE FOLLOWING HIM!" "'PLAYBOY SLEEPS WITH GIRL-FRIEND'S TWIN AND DOESN'T KNOW IT!'" "MAN, IF I HAD A GIRLFRIEND LIKE THAT, I'D NEVER NEED TO LOOK AT ANYONE ELSE."

New Titans #97

Is Dick, who is being mocked and goaded for his own rape, lashing out and showing his "temper"? Or is he showing a reasonable reaction to the horrific things that are happening to him?

Another example is the time Dick killed the joker:

"ALL THE DEATHS! ALL THE PAIN! WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH, JOKER!?"

"AW... JEEZ.. I HIT JASON A LOT HARDER THAN THAT. HIS NAME WAS JASON, RIGHT? SHUUH- SHOULDA VIDEOED THIS. OOOOH."

People often forget about this guy:

"WHATEVER STOKES YOU UP, PRETTY BOY... WHATEVER FEEDS THAT YUMMY-TASTY HATE BUBBLIN' UP INSIDE YOU."

Joker: Last Laugh #6

This is a classic moment of Dick Grayson being brainwashed, mind-controlled etc. The character creeping on Dick is called Rancor - a white supremacist meta who has the ability to dramatically increase the anger/hatred someone is feeling. Yes, Dick was furious that the Joker "killed" Tim, but there was no guarantee Dick was out to kill the Joker.

"NO ONE HATES HIM MORE THAN ME. NO ONE WANTS HIM DEAD MORE THAN ME. BUT THIS ISN'T THE WAY. "I KNOW, BABS. GOD HELP ME, I KNOW."

Dick admits to Barbara that he knows that he shouldn't kill the Joker despite expressing clearly that he wants to. But immediately after, Dinah says this to Barbara:

"I TRIED TO STOP KIM... BUT HE SUCKER-PUNCHED ME AND TOOK MY BIKE. HE DID APOLOGIZE THOUGH... STALWART TO A FAULT, YOUR GUY."

This panel immediately picks up after the last one. Dick fights with Dinah off-panel and apologises for it. We also know that Rancor was following him the whole time. Its reasonable to assume that Dick was lashing out at Dinah because of his altered emotions via Rancor's mind-control. Is it really fair to assume that had Rancor not been there, Dick would've went through with killing the Joker? I don't think so.

Another infamous one is Dick's fight with Donna:

"ON TOP OF ALL THAT, KOLE'S DEAD, AND WHAT DID YOU DO WHILE ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING? WHAT MENACE WERE YOU FIGHTING? WHAT WAS DISTRACTING YOU FROM FOLLOWING UP ON RAVEN'S "PLEASE, DICK--DON'T SAY IT."

"DISAPPEARANCE OR MENTO'S INSANITY? YOUR HUSBAND NEEDED HELP WRITING SOME COLLEGE PAPER! THE WORLD GOES TO HELL IN A HANDCART BUT YOU STAY AT HOME HELPING SOMEONE WRITE A LOUSY STORY!"

"STOP IT, DICK... STOP IT!"

New teen titans Vol 2 #19

The panels before it:

"I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GIVE UP, DICK. KORY MAY BE MARRIED, BUT IT'S NOT THE END OF THE UNIVERSE. NOT FOR HER OR FOR YOU. AND I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU TAKE OUT YOUR FRUSTRATIONS ON THE REST OF US. DO YOU HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING, DICK?"

"DONNA, YOUR MISTAKE IS YOU ASSUME I GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I DON'T. MOVE ASIDE, PLEASE. I WANT TO GO OUT." "NO. I'M NOT DONE." "I SAID I DON'T CARE, NOW PLEASE... MOVE." "NO."

New teen titans Vol 2 #19

Notice how Dick repeatedly tells Donna to let it be. He clearly didn't want to discuss the Karras-Kory marriage because he was also being ACTIVELY BRAINWASHED in this moment and is canonically lashing out at his friends and girlfriend because of it. Donna refuses to leave Dick alone, even adding a defiant "No." after he asks.

After Dick snaps and starts yelling some very, very harsh truths at her, Donna starts to violently lash out at Dick.

Notably, Dick doesn't hit Donna back despite his altered mind state. Whilst I'm not villifying Donna for having this reaction at all, she wasn't in the right either. Despite Dick telling her to back off, she did not. Despite knowing Dick was volatile at that moment - the whole reason she wanted to have the talk- Donna still couldn't handle Dick's anger without responding with violence. As such, this isn't; a show of Dick "losing his temper" due to him actively fighting brainwashing, a particularly good representation of their friendship or a girlboss moment for Donna.

There are other moments I could point out that fandom uses to display Dick's "temper" or him being "an asshole" (🙄) and the more I see, the more I notice how out of context these moments are displayed to be.

There's something very disingenuous about deliberately posting panels of Dick acting a certain way with zero context which leads people to believe he is acting that way with no provocation - which is usually not the case- all in the name of giving him a "character flaw". If you can't find said flaw without the character being mind-controlled or literally out of their mind in grief, is it really a character flaw or just fanon?.

religion has proved itself to be wayyy harder than I anticipated originally, as someone who had never been religious before.

I haven't really been participating in any pagan practices recently, or even praying, to be honest. I haven't forgotten, and I do think about the Gods everyday. I've just had a really complicated and hard time with family, friends, school, myself, and just life in general. I am also just the worst when it comes to dusting off my altar cause of all the little seashells and other accessories I have on it.

this is all to say, that I guess I just hope my experience with paganism thus far hasn't been concerningly unusual. if anyone has had a similar time as I when it comes to starting this practice, please let me know if you'd like, since that'd definitely be nice to hear.

I'm quite an emotional and paranoid person, so that has also been a huge obtacle in more ways than one for me, here. I'm constantly worried that I've offended, disrespected, or somehow else wronged a deity, even if accidentally. I know this might not be really logical but it's just a result of those traits and I have no idea how to make amends and clear the air with, I suppose, every element, every deity?

again I'm just asking for advice, but I've came to the conclusion that this just wasn't something I was ready to do with the level of commitment that even just having an altar implies. I'm not calling it off completely or anything like that, but I think I should just put it out there that this isn't something I'm trying to do as wholeheartedly anymore as I just am not in a position to do so, all things considered.

I'm not abandoning this blog and maybe one day I will be very commited and active, but for now, I'll just post "whenever" (as if I wasn't doing so before too 😓) and try not to stress about it.

all of the help I've recieved has been greatly appreciated, though, so thank you very much! and sorry for the mess every other post I've made has turned out to be 🥲

MORE Roblox art be upon ye! Forsaken has taken over my life. (Drawings after the page break have blood be warned)

Last warning! One has mild gore and the other more just implied death

Serious discussion ok but... they can't reproduce right? I'm guessing they can't. How do they reproduce?? They wear clothes. But machete and Silvair do not have nipples. As far as i'm aware. And there are male and female residents. And there are children residents.

And how would Hugeface even START to reproduce with anything.

Are the residents different like sub-species depending on various things.

Is gap technically only smashable trough what is essentially a gloryhole because his body cannot exist outside of darkness/holes

And.. can Scarlet finally get some??

Probably not. The game makes it rather clear that most residents are ex humans in some way. They're based on japanese urban legends, and those are usually based in evil spirits and the likes. Most likely more residents are created through curses/affliction/diseases and not reproduction, the kids clearly don't have parents and are probably children who were lost and became residents. Though characters that still have most of their humanity could still have remnants of their past organs, most have adapted to a whole different diet and environment. So it's unclear if they have the capacity, but at the least it's most likely they're infertile. But hey- Believe in yourself, you can give Crawling kids if you try hard enough bestie. Fuck what i say! Live your monster loving dreams!

ANNA i'm crashing out it was you or someone who said that buck ndd with eddie in white shiry nor that bday video with ryan in white.pleaasee tell me when was it filmed and also everything you are thinking.🥲

I didn't say Buck nde with Eddie in white because white is a danger color for Buck. White for Eddie is usually attached to emotional stuff. Shannon's funeral, the beginning of his breakdown, Kim during 709, the talk with Weston's father in 804.

Buck is in danger when Buck is wearing white.

And if are gonna make the direct comparison, we need to consider the way that Buck's shirt is striped and the stripes absolutely matter (here's a meta on Buck and the stripes by @stagefoureddiediaz). Those are not the same, the base color is not all it takes when it comes to the color theory of it all.

Maybe, if this was the first time either of them were wearing white since the shooting, I could go there, but they were white more than you give them credit.
