also thinking about dickroy as two people with absolute faith in the other + dick being allowed to step back from the spotlight around roy + roy trusting that someone will always be at his back my beloveds
Bitches will be like “my ship just got confirmed” and then show you a single low-res frame of ambiguous origin where the characters walk out of a room together. It’s me. I am bitches.
roy’s whole pitch to dick at the start of outsiders is so fucking funny when you actually think about it. bc it’s like:
dick: I can’t be on a team again, I won’t lead friends and family into danger anymore!
roy: cool cool of course man, no problem! it’ll just be strangers and coworkers this time. no deep emotional bonds, I promise! ignore the fact that you’re one of the people I love most in the world and we’ve been family to each other for half our lives and I’m creating this team specifically to help and support you
I’m putting all these together because they’re all from the same special team up issue. I literally loved this issue though, I didn’t realize how much I missed Dick and Roy interacting with each other after DC made Roy and Jason best friends. Very refreshing to see Dick refer to Roy as “one of his best friends in the world” :( I miss them
ALSO DAMIAN IS SO CUTE 😭 why did they let Damian age but not Tim they should have reversed it and kept Damian as a child forever and let Tim mature (/mostly joking)
"We need more male characters who aren't stereotypes about their gender!!!"You guys can't even handle the idea that a character being an adult man dosen't mean he's horny all the time or up for casual sex just because he's hot
for me its roy’s “everyone I love will always leave me and i’ll never be worth staying for, but I can’t stop trying to hold on to them with everything I have” vs dick’s “I crave connection but I’m convinced I’m poisonous and that when people love me it gets them killed, so it’s unforgivably selfish of me to allow myself closeness”
