So One Of The Most Common Problems People Have With DC Is That They Wont Let Their Characters Stay Dead,

So one of the most common problems people have with DC is that they won’t let their characters stay dead, it makes something that’s supposed to be a big thing that will permanently change other characters and the world around them feel like a pointless footnote. The obvious solution is to let them stay dead, however I would like to offer another option that is specifically geared toward the Robins.

They die but they don’t stay dead, it happens over and over again, their loved ones are stuck watching them suffer and die again and again only to come back and have the cycle repeat. No matter what they do death always finds them.

They lose sight of what life actually means because their own seems to mean nothing, they start struggling to understand things that use to make so much sense, like why people fight so hard to survive or why death scares so many, because they know they’ll never get to actually be dead.

The public starts to view them as demons or gods or something, because they’ve seen Redhood be stabbed through the heart, they’ve seen Nightwing fall and break himself on the concrete, they’ve seen Signal overload his powers and burn from the inside out, they’ve seen Red Robin’s head be crushed by block of stone, they’ve seen Robin choke and spit up blood before falling still because he was dosed with poison, they’ve seen Batgirls throat be slit, they’ve seen the birds die in dozens of horrific ways and they’ve seen the affect it has on the bats, but the birds come back, again and again, but every time they come back they look sadder, like less came back.

The birds don’t view themselves as the gods the public does, they view themselves as servants, servants of Gotham, of the people, of justice and vengeance, they can only pray that when their job is done they will be able to rest.

Stills under the cut

do you ever feel physical pain (ig that’s why it’s called heartache) for a fictional character?

Cuz I do when the trope is found family but one person feels like they don’t belong.

I do when a parent loses their child and breaks from the grief.

I do when a character sacrifices everything and no one acknowledges their loss.

I do when a baby is doomed to die from the start of the story.

I do when a character doesn’t know how to say “goodbye” so they slip away without saying anything.

I do when a character look like they have it together but they’re slowly dying inside.

I do when a character is strong and powerful but is always overlooked for their gender.

Anyways… just some thoughts.
