bringing back the dinah can canonically melt bones meta bc dinah can canonically melt bones

irt this post by the lovely oyin, and how i am writing dinah (and all of my dc characters moving forwards) currently all of dc’s canon across reboots and universal calamities are canon. this means things cannot be divided up into separate things as they once were. i’ll be picking and choosing things from preboot/n52/rebirth to integrate into my personal canon for dinah, but let it be stated: i will not be interacting with blogs who do not integrate a “rebooted ethnicity” into their portrayals. comics between 1937-2011 were hardly a bastion of diversity, changing that (as limited as it has been) isn’t a bad thing. can we stop acting as though it has been an ordeal we’re being put through?

i feel like i say this every other day around this website, but i do think as writers we have an obligation to do better when it comes to representation than giant megacorps in publishing/distributing do. the rpc particularly is extraordinarily diverse, and people are (rightfully) seeking out better reflections of themselves than those that were written some decades ago.

ideal comic arc (dinah begins stealing robins as punishment for bat books hogging arrow kids)
