I’m gonna be emotional over Dick and Wally for what’s looking like the rest of forever 

I’m gonna be emotional over dickwally for a second hear me out

One of the things I really love about Birdflash/DickWally is the idea that they’re “The Couple”. They’ve been together since they were kids, they were best friends, and their relationship grew organically out of that. Despite any rough patches they no doubt had, they’re the constant. They just go together. They’re the “Cory and Topanga”, a package deal. They’re the perfect example of a healthy, long relationship that their family and friends honestly admire.

They’re a gay couple, and it’s normalized. 

Wally would have been around before most of the Batkids were brought into the picture. He would be just as much of an “older brother” figure as Dick is. It’s “yeah, that’s my brother Dick and his boyfriend Wally, they’re disgusting”. It’s not an uncommon thing to walk into the kitchen at the Manor and Wally’s sitting at the counter eating a couple powerbars and downing a bottle of gatorade (Dick isn’t even there, he just let himself in). Wally isn’t always expected to be at Batfam meetings, but he’s usually there, and no one bats an eye (pun intended).

And it’s the same with Wally’s family. Maybe his folks aren’t the biggest fans of Dick, but you know that Iris and Barry have pretty much adopted him the same way they did Wally. Dick and Wally babysit the twins, and they just adore Dick because he’ll take them to the park and show them tricks on the monkey bars. Dick’s there at every Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and summer barbeque. 

Can you imagine what it would mean to a young hero who’s just coming out of the closet to have that kind of role model in their life? Here’s Nightwing and The Flash, acting as mentors to them. They’re not “those gay superheroes”, they’re just Dick and Wally, and all these young heroes look up to them regardless of whether they’re gay, straight, or somewhere in between, but it would mean that much more to a kid to see them and be able to think “Wow, I could be like them someday. I don’t have to sacrifice any part of myself.” And still, you know that when Dick is training the newbies, Wally sometimes zooms in to steal a kiss, and they’re all making gagging noises in the background. 

And when people ask them what their “secret” is, they both just sort of shrug and give the same answer. They’re best friends. They get along, they have fun, they love each other so deeply and passionately. When they have a fight, they cool down, and try to talk to out. Is it always easy? No, of course not, but they’re not under any illusions that it should be easy all the time. 

People tell them they’re the best couple they know, and they just look at each other, grin, say “niiicccce”, and fist bump. 

I could go on for days, honestly, but Dick and Wally being the normalized “couple” friends is the reason I get out of bed in the mornings. 

We all know Wally did fall in love with Dick and that’s a fact. 

DC just do it, birdflash is a thing

Hey so I saw that meme you made with Wally west and I was just wondering if Wally really did fall in love with Nightwing because I haven’t read the comics in a while

GOD I WISH 

Short answer: No

Long answer (and this did get long): Titans (2016) has had some very powerful BirdFlash moments and if DC weren’t so cowardly I feel like something probably would’ve happened by now. Both Dick and Wally are single and DC clearly doesn’t plan on putting Wally back with Linda (at least for the time being). She’s very much not interested in him right now and they haven’t even brought her up for a hot minute anymore 

Back to things that have happened so far. I mean there was that entire letter Wally wrote to Dick that basically read like a love letter in most parts, the whole ‘literally standing next to each other in almost every panel’ thing (especially lately) and things like THIS 

Or even Roy calling them out 

OR SHOULD I MENTION WALLY LITERALLY BEING ABLE TO COME OUT OF THE SPEED FORCE BECAUSE OF THE LOVE FROM HIS FRIENDS??

The only way outta the speed force is love lads 

FELLAS…IS IT GAY TO BREAK OUT OF AN INTER DIMENSIONAL ENERGY FIELD BECAUSE YOU LOVE YOUR BFF TOO MUCH? 

And this is only stuff from the Titans (2016) issues so far that I can remember off the top of my head

Case and point: DC pull the trigger you absolute cowards 

There are no words for how adorable I find this

Boyfriends wear each other’s merch.

[Happy birthday, @leonardodvnc / @tortunia <3]

I SUPER LOVE TIM AND CASSANDRA BECAUSE:

they went from stranger (hell yeah Timothy avoid Cass because he felt intimidated by Cass’ assassin background) to friends 

Cass is always ready to rescue help Timothy

she took care of Tim and worried about him, not only because the big brood Bat told her so but she did it on her own accord too

while Tim took care of her too, they took care of each other and I love it so much

CASSANDRA IS TIM’S FAMILY. I REPEAT CASSANDRA IS ONE OF TIM’S PRECIOUS FAMILY

TIM WON’T LET GO, HE WON’T LET CASS GO. SHE’S FAMILY.

AND TIM IS A DEAR PERSON FOR CASSANDRA TOO. SHE EVEN ASKED TIM TO JOIN HER BECAUSE IT WAS HER DREAM. CASS WON’T LET TIM UNDER THE BAT BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THE BAT WILL USE HIM LIKE HOW CAIN USED HER. CASSANDRA WILL MISS TIM

AND TIM WILL MISS HER TOO.

EVEN WHEN CASS BEING A VILLAIN (brainwashed by Deathstroke), TIM WON’T LET ANYONE HURT HER

AND AFTER SHE CAME BACK, TIM IS THE ONE WHO STILL TRUSTS HER AND DEFENDS HER, WHEN NIGHTWING CLEARLY SHOWS HIS DISTRUST.

EVEN THE BIG (A**HOLE) BROODING BAT DOUBTS HER WHEN SHE WENT MISSING, TIM STILL TRUSTS AND DEFENDS HER. TIM BELIEVE HER.

HAVE I SAID THAT TIM ALWAYS BELIEVE HER AND DEFEND HER? YES, I HAVE AND HE DOES. 

LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE PEAK OF IT: CASS LEFT GOTHAM BUT TIM STILL REMINDS HER THAT SHE WILL ALWAYS BE HIS FAMILY, THAT HE ALWAYS GOT CASS’ BACK. HE GIVES HER HER NEW PERSONA (which the main reason I love Black Bat so much, because there is a beautiful history behind it).

THIS IS THE END OF MY ESSAY, PLEASE LOVE THEM.

whenever you have requests open again I'd love to see your rendition on romantic timsteph please and thanks.

The kind of photos I expect to see on Steph’s and Tim’s instagrams every now and then to show they are normal.
