Icarus Had The Right Idea

being obsessed with captain america: the winter soldier in 2014 is something that will always be inside of you

imagine how smart Bruce would be if he didn't get hit in the head all the time. "Lex Luthor is the smartest man on Earth--" "Tony Stark is--" right but if Bruce is holding his own up there AND he's been playing fast and loose with TBIs for a few years, that ranking is flawed.

if lonely place of dying were written in the smartphone era tim's lockscreen would have been a candid photo of dick grayson just like minding his business absolutely none the wiser and obviously (while tim is pulling up the google drive app to show alfred and dick his organized megafolder of photography/footage/illegally-downloaded gcpd reports/articles/statistical analyses of batman) both alfred and dick would see this but none of them would acknowledge it least of all tim who at this point still has not explained how he knows dick literally at all

There’s something inately precious about having Dick as an eight year old when he becomes Robin. Yes, I get why most modern tellings have him at like 12 and that is understandable but little eight year old Dick becoming Robin will always be superior. Mainly because it is funny because Bruce Wayne, billionaire and businessman and Batman, the most fear entity in Gotham, gets bullied by a rabid eight year old with murder and vengeance coursing through his veins, into letting him beat up criminals dressed like a traffic light. Mainly because thematically, lonely Bruce seeing this little boy the same age as him when he lost his own parents and he has never understood a human being so much in his entire life and he must protect him, he has to, even if he must throw him into danger. Mainly because, it is fucking adorable and little Dickbin in his little yellow cape looking like a walking triangle with little green boots and a smile that makes any victim assured and a laugh that echoes in the nightmares of many a rogue or goon, in his family colours, with his mother and father’s pet names echoing in his ears when he tumbles into the fight to protect those who need a hero and being like an entire two and a half foot shorter than the great shadow that is the Bat, stood at his side like the Dark Knight’s conscience made flesh, a reminder that even the big scary Bat has a heart.

I am not immune to best friends who are in love with each other
