Hey. Pst! DC Lore Masters. Got a sec?
K, so like, I’ve seen Teen Titans… and some of Young Justice… but I’m interested in the comics.
See these guys up here? These guys specifically (Robin/Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Wonder Girl, Beast Boy, Kid Flash, and Cyborg), what’s the condensed version of each of their stories? Is there a way to condense it? Is there even a story to condense?
I’m familiar with Raven’s story—half demon, Trigon wants to use her to end the world, blah blah blah, etc etc—and I know some of Starfire’s origins on Tamaran and Beast Boy’s past with the Doom Patrol, and of course there’s Dick Grayson which I know most of the story already, but like… especially Cyborg, Kid Flash, and Wonder Girl… what are their stories? Who are their arch nemeses? What journey do they go on? How do they grow as people? Am I asking the wrong questions? I am just curious, and Google isn’t helping me rn…
Thanks…

So. Did you know there's a backstory to Dick's mullet?
Because there is.
Mirage convinced Dick to let her restyle him while she was impersonating Kori. Which he went along with, because Kori had been incredibly depressed for the last several weeks and nothing Dick said or did seemed to be helping her. Dick had pretty clearly hit the point where he was willing to do just about anything to make her happy again.
Which I know doesn't even begin to compare to the many other ways Mirage took advantage of him (trust me, I just read it,) but has made me hate the mullet jokes now, because that was not Dick's choice.
(I'm sure it's just a coincidence Dick's hair & costume came out of it looking a lot more like the future!Dick Mirage was pining over. Contrasts between future!Dick & the classic Discowing Dick was wearing in the arc right before this one below the cut.)
-------------------------------------------
Here's future!Dick...
....Aaaand Discowing.
Obviously, she somehow magically grew his hair out several inches. But even beyond that...
Look at the stripe shape & placement on the new suit, lining up with both future!Dick's stripes & his mesh armbands.
Look at the glove shape, going from a segmented gauntlet to a single elbow-length piece with a curved upper edge.
While Dick's boots are considerably less dramatic than his future self's thigh-highs, they are still much more strongly emphasized in Mirage's version of the costume.
While future!Dick has the diamond on his abdomen like Discowing, future!Dick's costume has much less detailing around his abdomen.
Discowing also isn't the one with a utility belt. A belt which just so happens to have the same insignia as future!Dick's shield. Weird that.
While neither of the prior versions have the little glider-cape, I would like to note it's something future!Dick probably could've gotten a lot of use out of, given the way his sidekick usually carried him around.
.
So anyway, I have gone from being kinda tired of the mullet jokes to actively disliking them. Less jokes about the mullet, more jokes about the rat-tail please.

An underrated dickkory scene:
After arguing with Jason, Dick makes one of the biggest decisions of his life. He's giving up Robin for good.
And who's the first person he calls? Kory.
Of course he starts off the conversation with asking about Adamson, because as usual Dick has a hard time being direct (especially at this point).
But I truly believe he just wanted to hear her voice at that moment and share the news with her.
And this could've been a good place to introduce Donna. Have him call her instead of Kory.
But like always (& forever), Kory is his number 1. The person that understands him the best 💙💜

A lot of people don't seem to understand that Starfire would likely face the same damage that Babs has faced if they got her back with Dick.
As if Starfire isn't already facing damage from people who think her personality is the same as that cartoon from 2003.

Jason Todd is by no means a physically small guy but if he's put on a team or placed in a lineup it's imperative that there be at least one person who just towers over him
One being the bare minimum, the more the better. Jason's teammates should be able to pick him up by the scruff like a kitten and toss him around

Was reading a fanfic the other day and Dick mentioned seeing someone. Basically here were my thoughts:
Me: Okay, so this could be Starfire, Wally or Babs.
*Dick mentions his partner is on a team with him*
Me: Wow! That was so unhelpful.
*Dick mentions he likes red heads*
Me: *eye twitching*
