Hes The Fucking Best And I Do Not Like This Slander - Tumblr Posts

People end up steam rolling his character into just the happy pretty guy who can flip and occasionally quip, if that.

I've seen fics where the author basically argues that Dick's trauma is negligible, especially when comparing it to his brother, simply because "he doesn't act traumatised."Hello?? Do you not see the blaring signs of Eldest Daughter syndrome? The severe trauma surrounding nearly every aspect of his life? His adoptive father, his suit, his city, his brothers, his acrobatics, so many friendships and romantic relationships, and he's still come out stronger.

There's so much to explore with him! His morality, his non traditional skillset, his connections and dynamics, his ambition, his selflessness and its roots and causes, his versatility and adaptability, his influence and SO much more.

People deciding that he is a shallow, ✨ aesthetique ✨character is such a disservice, when he really is one of the most beautifully complex characters around.

dick grayson is such a complex character with depth but people always ignore it to sexualize him (even though in the comics he battles with being objectified + he’s been harassed multiple times in comics because of this) and it gets on my nerves
