Certified Dick Glazer™️

“Nooooo!”

“Yes! You’re going to pull a gun on me! C’MON!”

“Take a shot at me!”

NO. STOP. IT’S NOT HAPPENING. FUCKING STOP. PUT IT WITH THE OTHER TIMES.

Like half of his shit is either deliberate showing off because “the Batman needs to be seen” (uh huh, okay, sure, and you also like playing the character in the cape. it’s okay you can be performative we still love you just live your truth bestie)

Or

Delivering histrionics on impulse with the delivery of someone who does, truly, believe themselves the calm rational actor.

He might even be a rational actor a lot of the time. He just engages with the world purely through poses.

Tim staring at his brother and his dumbass dramatics like :|

Dick’s got the theatre voice and the speech going. He’s expanding the diaphragm. He has the carnage in the foreground and the ass clenched. There is production quality here.

Someone else is gonna die in two weeks anyways. You gotta conserve the aura. You’re spending too much of it.

shhhhhhhhhhhhh it’s okay, I’ll get to the x-ray fluorescence papers. Eventually. It’ll be fine. Even if my last day before my first final is *checks notes* tomorrow.

And it’s on *checks notes* QEM.

I would’ve gotten my masters in Engineering Physics with a 4.3 and solved grand reunification theory. I would have detected gravitational waves and discovered dark matter. I would have been great. And it was all ruined because the first year of college, I was messing around in my university’s library and found the collection for the Court of Owls.

Out of curiosity - do you like to read other stuff too (comics or not) or do you usually read just various Nightwing appearances?

You see, some may call it a “problem”, or “obsessiveness”, or “please stop reading/re-reading 20 issues of definitely legally obtained comics a day”.

I consider them to have skill issues.

As for other comics, I do actually enjoy some non-Dick stuff, though to be honest most of my interest comes from branching out after seeing people appear with Dick! For instance, I LOVED JLA. Morrison cooked with that, and Wally and Kyle’s dynamic was great. I think I read all of the 90s and the 2000s run. I’ve also read individual runs from other major heroes as well — I read some Superman stuff, some Green Lantern Corp, some Flash, you know.

Funnily enough, I struggle with heroes the more “impressive” their powers are, though. Especially if it isn’t magic. If it is magic and is hand-waved away as such, I can accept that fine, but when your character is regularly breaking the speed of light or engaging in activities that require unfathomable amounts of energy, I’m doing the math in the back of my mind and I am NOT liking the outcome. It’s a stupid reason to struggle with superpowered heroes, but I legit can’t stop the thoughts and it makes reading those comics hard sometimes.

I also make sure to do all event books, though I don’t know if that counts. I’ve read every “Crisis” book from Multiple Worlds to modern day. Crisis on Infinife Earths was the space opera of a lifetime. There was a distinct vibe to 80s DC that I don’t think has been reached recently. I can’t remember the last time the Omega Men or the 31st century has been brought up outside their extremely small niches in canon, but idk.

This is not a complaint. Nor an opinion. It is simply an acknowledgement.

Bro literally gave the order for her to become a fucking nuke and he’s still ‼️‼️😮‼️‼️

Then I see the wack ass poses he lands into. And it’s like: “Ah. Yup.”

It’s like. The last one isn’t even a big deal. But the comfort required to stabilize your core enough to speak as casually as a guy sitting down in a cockpit. I’d be over there clenching my abs and trying not to spin myself into a massive tangle of suspension cables idk.

No, it’s not Dick Grayson.

Until the MOMENT Roy is like “nah bro I’m out”

And then Dick is like “🥺🥺🥺 what”

“no don’t go uwu 🥺🥺🥺 Roy come back”

“Roy nooooooo”

“Roooyyyyyyy”

There have never been a pair of more doomed dumbasses… ever.

Like, no, Bruce. After the third Bruce Wayne: Fugitive conflict rehash, you’d think.

You might start to consider. That possibly. Maybe. DICK IS NEVER GOING TO NOT TRUST YOU, BRUCE. DESPITE ALL EVIDENCE AND EXPERIENCE TO THE CONTRARY. THIS IS PRECISELY THE PROBLEM.

AND, FURTHERMORE, BRUCE IS NEVER GOING TO STOP BEING COLD OR KEEPING SHIT FROM YOU THROUGH A MIX OF BELIEVING IT IS FOR YOUR BEST INTEREST AND BECAUSE HE THINKS HE DOESN’T DESERVE TO BE LOVED, DICK.
