This came from a conversation between my aunt and I. The sad thing was she was right, she is a better driver while doing the exact same things Dick does.

tips for what to do after a really long cry because you’re probably feeling all kinds of exhausted and drained and i don’t want that for you in the slightest:

take a shower and change all of your clothes even your socks and underwear. this is the first step to everything. 

pour yourself a big, cold glass of water and drink it. all of it. once you’re done, get yourself a refill. this will boost u physically and emotionally instantly please trust me.

grab a snack, something light that you don’t have to wait to prepare. i recommend a pudding cup, a piece of fruit, yogurt, a popsicle, or some crackers. 

get under the covers. turn on something - tv, a movie, music, anything distracting. or consider calling a friend or talking to anyone nearby, even your sibling the next room over!!

know that you are loved. you are important. you mean more than you know right now, more than you will maybe ever know. you are worth all the stars in the sky. you deserve to feel good.

Okay, permanent source call here we go:

Hello, I'm a Dick Grayson fictive and you can also call me Robin. My main source is Teen Titans(2003) but I have memories from other sources. I'm 15, and my body is 20, I am okay with only adult systems interacting.

I'm looking for anyone from my show honestly, but mainly the other Titans and members of the Batfamily, but others are welcome to say hi.

I do not want any romantic intentions from family members and am not interested in meeting kins. Feel free to message me or interact with this post and I'll get back to you

Dick, Jason, and Carrie have a secret club within the bat family called "Team No-Pants"

One may think it's a reference to their Robin costumes, but really they just walk around with no pants

It is so cute to think that for almost the entire existence of the character, Batman has had a Robin to perch on his back and light up his life. For more than 80 years the darkest and gloomiest character has had several light traffic colored children following him around and making his life more interesting <3

Is Jason unjustifiably called the little shit Robin when that's Dick's title?

Yes

Is there any Robin that isn't at least a bit of a little shit? ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK NOT

The Robins said it themselves, going against what Batman says is a part of being Robin.

Being a little shit comes with the title

So often, I see healing painted as this always “beautiful” and “magical” thing. And it’s valid if that’s what helps you cope with needing to heal. But I think it’s important to acknowledge that while there are beautiful, possibly even magical aspects to healing, it is not always like that. Healing can, at times (even a majority of the time) be exhausting, ugly, and draining. And it’s important to know that because it’s okay. It’s okay if your healing is not beautiful.

You went through something awful, and it’s okay for your healing to reflect that.

I think my favourite trope is when a Villian or hero ruins their enemies quip and when they get sad they're all like "Damn sorry bro you can start over."

Ngl it actually really bothers me when people say Dick was the angry Robin and that his anger is his defining feature. I mean, hate the phrase “angry Robin” in general since it’s reductive and people only really use it when they want to hype up their fave, but especially when they use it for Dick.

When someone says this, they tend to a. post a panel of/talk about something Dick did when he’s an adult (aka not Robin since he stopped being Robin in his late teens) or b. post a panel of Dick in the pretty immediate aftermath of his parents’ murder which is….. a choice???

It just feels like a pretty weird misunderstanding of his origin/character. Yes, he was angry when he first met Bruce since his parents’ killer was still at large, but because Bruce helped him bring his parents murderer to justice he was able to let go of that anger.

That’s the whole point! Bruce saw this child who witnessed his parents murder the same way he did and saw the same path of loneliness/anger/obsession he could potentially take if he wasn’t redirected. Bruce wanted to help him get the closure he never did and because of that Dick was able to be a hopeful and optimistic child again and he loved being Robin! Just look at him:

There’s a reason you’ll see a lot of panels of him smiling as a kid! Now if you want to talk about the anger he developed as a young adult due to the pretty much constant exposure to trauma, death, and violence he experienced during adolescence, that’s a different discussion. But he was mostly a happy kid when he was Robin!

Even as an adult who’s been exposed to some extremely traumatic experiences, Dick Grayson fights every day for his optimism and to be a positive person. He always tries to see the best in other people. He wants a better future for Bludhaven, the city he chose because he knew it needed the most help. He moved on from his parents murder to try to live the life he wants to live. Anger is NOT Dick’s defining trait, it is 100% his hope.
