during jason's robin days... no dick wasn't an abhorrent monster to him. no he also wasn't the #bestbigbroever. i feel like some ppl fall into wanting to angst the shit out of it and go route 1 and some other ppl to overcorrect that and fall into route 2 [myself included previously]. this was a very delicate, very complicated situation for everyone involved.

dick had no clue how to react- he was barely an adult by the time jason rolled around and had been a single child forever. add to that the fact that he hadnt been adopted but jason had been. add to all of that the fact that he saw someone swinging around with bruce across gotham the way he had. listen idc what anyone says - this is a very jarring situation to face. you have realise: bruce & dick are stupidly codependent THEY ARE INSANE ABT EACH OTHER like absolutely abnormal. pls tell me you understand. honestly theyre unhealthy. so for dick to see this happening especially when hes in a rough patch with bruce isn't... the best.

and to top all of that.... he can't exactly hate jason. look at him. so he gives him suit. his number. a smile and the promise to listen.

he returns to a bygone funeral, his own broken promise as all the voicemails play.

dick wasnt around a lot but he gave him his number!! his suit!! his predecessor [brother?] had smiled at him.

everyone SHUT UP.

its just that- this person, this man [the boy i never got to know] knows the worst of me. i know the worst of him. when i see blood on him my head tells me i should ask whose it is. i ask him how badly are you hurt?

why, in the united states, is criticizing a settler colony's active attempts at extermination labeled antisemitic because of the religion the settlers happen to practice, but rooting for the complete eradication of a muslim country that was already there and is barely still there not islamophobia?? why is religion being used as a shield to justify genocide?

when a sudden act of politically charged violence occurs, like the hamas attack a few days ago, i ask WHY? i ask WHY until i get as far back as i can. i read accounts written by all sides. i try to find out why this is happening in the first place. half of these facts have come from the israeli government itself. all of them are easily found and easily confirmed by reputable sources. a lot of them are caught on film. all of these facts lead me to know that the state of israel was created by britain in order to gain an advantage in an unrelated war. i know the state of israel has caused unimaginable harm to the country it's slowly eating, and has suffered just a fraction in return. i know religion justifies none of it.

palestinians deserve to live in their own country. palestinians deserve to not be forced to give their homes to americans. palestinians deserve to live, to leave, to stay, to wave their own fucking flag. they do not deserve to have another country plopped on top of them and then have their settlers ask 'don't WE have a right to exist?' as their own right to exist is being extinguished.
