#the idea that someone can simultaneously be a bad parent and a good person is one that seems to escape a LOT of people#I see far too many people who insist that if someone is a bad parent they're also a bad person#because being a bad parent MAKES them a bad person#“well they never should have had kids if they were going to be bad at it!” cool cool so I don't know if you know this but#not everyone is able to see how things will play out before they happen#also someone may be a GREAT parent for one kid but a mediocre one for another kid#because (and I know this is another pretty alien idea to a lot of tumblr) everyone is different#what one child needs is not necessarily the same as what another child needs#anyway#it's much more fun to explore this concept in fiction than in reality#when it happens IRL at least one real person gets screwed over; in fiction it's an interesting story to explore

So fucking true

On a side note, do you take requests? If so, can I request a RoyDick drawn by your talented hands 🙏 My RoyDick army and I will be eternally thankful 🥹

the reference

Original Template Here

Since some of my handwriting is too small/messy to read (might be easier in full size but whatever, I did this with a mouse okay)

Aesthetic: 90's Dad Rock

Fashion Style: Either Classic Hard Rock Star or the tackiest Dad Fashion you can imagine - sometimes both at once

Song From Their Playlist (I wasn't sure if this was just, supposed to be a song on my playlist for him or something he would listen to, but since the next one was a band he would like I went with the former): I Miss Having Sex But At Least I Don't Want To Die Anymore - Waterparks

Song/Band They Would Like: Blackfire/Sihasin (Since these two are basically made of the same members, sans one for the latter, I figure they count as one)

OTP/OT3+: JayRoy Mostly (I didn't put it on the sheet have been contemplating/thinking abt JayRoyKyle/RoyKyle somewhat tbh. I need to read Kyle's comics actually FOR Kyle this time first tho. Also JadeRoy is forever doomed lovers to me.)

Gender Headcanon: GNC Cis Male (but it's complicated)

Orientation Headcanon: Bi as Fuck

Pronouns: He/Him

Other Headcanon Notes: Roy has a complicated relationship with masculinity/masc presentation due to his upbringing on the res vs trying to conform to euro-centric Ideals, esp re: his hair (Which is to say, Diné masculinity presents somewhat differently from the traditional american/european masculinity, and he's often torn between these ideals. My personal thoughts are that he is more comfortable with longer hair for the most part but cuts it when he's extremely stressed or self-conscious bcs he's trying to "fit in" to expectations & at least if he fits in then people probably aren't scrutinizing him too closely to see his problems underneath.)

What the Fandom Forgets About Them: He doesn't just use bows, & (like the rest of the arrows) does not have a strict no-kill rule. Guns and murder alone would not put him off. I mean, just look at how he still cares about Jade??? (Modernly a lot of the fandom has shifted to calling Jason "DC's Punisher" but pre-Flashpoint that's what they were saying about Roy in the post-Cry For Justice era. Now, yes, I'm not saying he goes around killing people willy-nilly, but there's a lot more nuance here and it's exhausting to see imagined character arguments where they refuse to acknowledge that Roy HAS a more complex view of the subject instead of parroting fanon Batman's opinions.)

Fave scene/quote: Tie between Green Lantern/Green Arrow #100 crutch-fighting & Action Comics (1938) #640 "I've always suffered the curse of a pragmatic mind."

An Excellent Picture of Them: Anything by @zestylemonpeels This one is Especially Good and I think about a Lot. Or this one (which is a JayRoy).
