They're interrupting the meeting
Only real ones remember Joe’s floppy disk era
Like for instance I think Dick is a bit of a musical chameleon. He doesn't have a set genre he enjoys.
He loves country if he's shouting Dolly Parton lyrics with Roy as they drive down an empty highway.
He loves classical when he gets to sit with Joey while he plays piano
He adores pop when he gets to dance all night with Kory. It doesn't matter where they are
He loves old school blues when he's just finished a mission with Tiger, the only indication the other man likes the song playing is his finger tapping against the steering wheel as they drive to their next location
He loves rock because seeing Barbara headbang makes him fall in love with her a little bit more each day
At the end of the day, love songs transcend genre, and Dick loves love songs
I think it's funny when fans don't vibe with a character's canonical music taste so they invent their own.
I was thinking about that in regards to Roy being in a blues band when half the fan content I see is leaning more towards rock and alternative. Which is fine! I also see this a lot with Ollie and Barry, who's music taste is jazz (much to Hal's distaste)
I'm not saying I keep it canonical either, I personally think Roy would be really into country music and folk. The kinda music you can sing with your loved ones by a fire with only a guitar and the ground beneath your boot to make a beat.
Tell me your blorbo's music taste! Is it canonical or do you make your own rules?
It's been bugging me for a while that we have so many canonically queer characters now but none of them ever DO anything! It's like after they get two characters in a queer relationship they just never give them any conflict after. We didn't ask for more representation because we wanted that character to no longer have interesting stories outside of a queer identity we wanted you to stop queer baiting us.
I know that word gets tossed around a lot, but there is very strong evidence for TimKon, StephCass, and GhostBat where they practically confirm it but they never say anything explicitly. Supersons were literally shown to live together, co-parent Lizzie, and were explicitly paralleling other canon couples last week.
But it's too much for Kon AND Tim to be queer, so they gave Tim a civilian boyfriend that he never has any conflict with and all of the build up and tension that comes with trying to clone your dead teammate 99 times and being a hair away from making out for like 8 years.
Robin AND Super boy couldn't be canonically queer so they aged Jon up and then gave him a civilian boyfriend he never has any conflict with all while parading them around in elseworlds because they knew fans were upset about the lost potential.
Even Harley and Ivy fall victim to this in a different way. I love that they're canonically queer! I just wish that at least Ivy got to keep some of her villainy. I don't think they should have to compromise being menaces to society with being queer.
And it's related but I hesitate to call it queer baiting... what's going on with Dick Grayson. He gets confirmed bi in a non canon video game but he has more pride covers than Tim. Like you can't dangle an extremely queer coded character in front of us and then just never make it canon. And I'm tired of one off implications too. We deserve better representation than a one liner played off for a joke (Batstantine this is about you I fear) but they won't because they know full well they won't do a damn thing with him after.
You wanna know what we should be striving for? Midnighter and Apollo. Messy their whole run time, uncompromisingly interesting whether they're together or not, happily married with a daughter, and yet continued to be unerringly bad ass. John Constantine, with all of his shameless flirting and raunchiness. Grace Choi and Anissa Pierce. The pining, the break ups, the make ups. Obsessed with them.
Joey Wilson!!! You want someone whose already canonically queer who Dick has a lot of tension with? He's right there! The son of Dick's arch Nemesis. Both of their willingness to go over people's heads to protect them. Joey's ability to completely take someone's free will (and his deliberate and spiteful choice not to) vs. Dick's constant fight for independence (and his willing surrender to the pull of his family). Dick's unwillingness to communicate his feelings or experiences with literally anyone ever paired with Joey's uncanny ability to read him like a book. Are you joking. The mess, the tension, the INTRIGUE!!
This got away from me but I want my queer characters to be interesting again pretty please.

Couple more comics for that Outlaw!Jericho AU I keep going back to! 😘
Since Tim Drake is canonly bi now, there’s nothing barring him from hanging out with Red Hood’s team of disaster bisexuals. Jason doesn’t have to like it but there’s nothing he can do!
Tim’s also discovering that Jericho is just as dangerous as Nightwing implied, but not in the way he thought. :|
joey wilson did not fuck around in the judas contract. he comes face to face with his father for the first time in years, maybe even a decade, and the second they make eye contact, boom. joey uses his powers against him. no hesitation
and then he knocks him unconscious to save vic
we know from the end of the issue that this confrontation is extremely difficult for joey, especially since this is the first chance he gets to interact with his father now that he’s grown up. this is the first. time. he’s seen him since his throat got slit. this is going to set the tone for what, if any, relationship they will have going forward. and ultimately, joey chooses to take a stand against slade. there are no words
