ig this is semi relevant but it really bugs me out when people ask for sources about racism or sexism in a piece of media like….. the source is my eyeballs. i watched the show and used my brain to recognise the bigoted writing

fr!! I'm so lucky I really enjoy helping people understand how to analyse stories, but it can definitely be frustrating when people ask you for sources for things that seem obvious. my dad asked me how law and order:svu was copaganda the other day and I was so gobsmacked like, it's copaganda......because it's copaganda!??!? also had the worst time of my life explaining to my middle aged uni friend one time that a poc being in something doesn't make it progressive which was mind blowing to him. you realise it's such a huge issue (bigotry in media) and the reason it's so big is because people have been trained not to see it.

@mysterycitrus dude I didn't even realize I was reading your fic until Dick picked up an elephant from Jason's altar.

Btw, I thoroughly enjoyed how Dick verbally flayed Jason alive.

"So, let's go kill the Joker, then."

And Jason being flabbergasted by the suggestion lmao.

ur nightwing comic pitch looks SO GOOD its driving me insane. for 1 ur kory design is incredible to me and for 2 ur pitch looks like itd shoot me in the heart i LOVE it

ur cast choices intrigue me!!! especially having rose and chris as major players, what made you pick them? based on persephone i wouldve expected to see donna, but i dont she was around in 2011, is that the reason why?

again ur pitch is incredible it just has me 👁👁 i am staring sooo intently. begging to understand. dreaming of mysterycitrus nightwing comic

thank u very much! the positive response to the pitch has been very sweet — im especially glad that it’s resonating with nightwing fans hehehe

to answer ur q — if i were to do more character sheets, donna and vic stone would be first on the list (followed by babs, helena, bea, clancy, tim, and maybe jason or cass or grant emerson). the reason i chose chris kent is because it’s set in post-crisis, pre-flashpoint new earth, but also because chris is a fundamentally more interesting character than jon imo

rose wilson has an interesting dynamic with both dick and roy, and id love to see that come back in a comic. she was lian’s babysitter! dick was an acting guardian for her and she lived with roy for a little bit. i miss them 💔

korys inclusion is honestly more petty — i love her a lot, id love her to be in more solo ongoings rather than just the titans, but also rhato is my least favourite comic of all time and i need her outta there, stat. but also i love drawing her in fun outfits, so that was also definitely part of it lol

tdr is literally 2013 era tumblr fanfic — gay relationship with zero substance, too afraid to give anyone a personality or conflict, complete disrespect of legacy characters, and blatant misogyny. truly the best of all worlds thanks megan

genuinely i did have the thought while reading it that 13yos on fanfiction.net have written better stories than this. at least i can forgive a 13yo for not knowing what character flaws are. but the fact that megfitz got paid for this shit? insane. there's so much that's just so bad in here. the misogyny also cannot be dismissed it's true. acting like he was just settling in all his previous relationships? that line pissed me off soooo bad. i Know meghan doesn't even know who zoanne wilkins is lmao

What is your absolute favorite thing about Roy?

Oooh, this is a tough question, I love everything about Roy. If I had to pick, I'd say his relationships with younger people.

Obviously, the biggest example of that's Lian. Being a single father's such a compelling character trait, especially in a superhero setting, and it adds so much depth to his character. Even when Lian's not actively on-panel, the way Roy reacts to the world around him is constantly influenced by her existence. Hands down some of my favourite Roy panels are the ones where Roy forces himself to keep fighting when everything seems hopeless because otherwise Lian would be alone, when he bases his decisions on making Lian proud, or when Lian's in any sort of danger*. Lian shapes who he is, both as a hero and a person, and erasing her was maybe the stupidest decision DC ever made.

However, his relationships with younger heroes are also so endearing! A post by @/mysterycitrus made an amazing point about the significance of having a recovered addict being seen as a support figure to younger people, so absolutely go check that post out. Grant's the most obvious example, (which, a little bit of shameless self promo, but I wrote a fic of him and the Harpers which four people said was good so apparently it's worth the read) and the way that he and Grant interact is so telling of the type of person Roy is. Roy specifically requests Grant be added to the Titans '99 roster because he sees potential in Grant, and because he thinks that Grant wants that chance to prove himself again. However, when he realises just how much Grant has on his mind, he sees that superheroics isn't helping him so he gives Grant the chance to walk away. His relationships with Rose and Bart are also good examples of this within the Titans, and Bart respecting Roy more than Wally is one of the funniest/sweetest things to come from that era. Also the fact that Mia is explicitly inspired to become Speedy because of Roy, not just because of his accomplishments as a hero but also because of his recovery, is so sweet and an absolutely amazing message about how Roy's recovery is much more telling of his character than his addiction.

*An aside, while I hate talking about Rise of Arsenal because A) it makes me cry and B) it kinda had the same tone as a villain origin story, I do think that him killing the Electrocutioner was in character, and a good comparison point between He Who Is Incorrectly Labelled As DC's Best Dad and DC's Actual Best Dad. The differences between UtRH and Green Arrow #1 are also great for that.

Thank you so much for the ask!! :)

Hi! So. I was thinking of Superman smashes the klan comic and how it really portrayed the parallels to an immigrant story for Clark.

But. I wanted to talk about Kara and another character!

Warning for not graphic discussion of racism and xenophobia. As well as canon characters’ death.

Note: check out greta (mysterycitrus) if you haven’t already for awesome points about many characters.

Kara spent 16 years on Krypton. She had friends, family, a whole life there and then due to things out of her control, she was forced to leave all that behind to live in a new place. As a teenager.

Clark was a baby and it is always heartbreaking to think of how his dad realized Clark can’t understand him in My Adventures with Superman, but he got to grow up in America—on Earth. It’s the only home he’s ever truly known.

It’s also worth noting that no matter how much good Clark does, Luthor and other humans will never fully trust him because he’s not from Earth.

Now, for the longest time, Kara has nobody to really talk to about Krypton. Not anyone who will fully remember.

Kara lost everything she’s ever known and then expected to be a “normal teenage girl from Earth.”

That character I was talking about earlier: Dick Grayson, specifically when he’s written as Romani.

I acknowledge Devin Grayson and Tom Taylor’s racism and bias when writing him. As well as some fanfic authors. Note: do not use slurs to refer to the characters especially if you are not part of those groups!

Both Kara and Dick were children when tragedy struck them.

Both Kara and Dick were children when they were ripped from their homes (the only one they knew) and placed with people who don’t know their culture.

Both Kara and Dick were written off (by fandom, comics, in universe, or all 3) as “angry.”

I feel like there could be interesting stories there (especially with each other).

What do you think?

Please note: I am not Romani, so if I said anything incorrect and/or inappropriate, please let me know and I will change it. Sorry.
