what on earth is it that possesses thin people to go onto any post where a fat person is being vulnerable/discussing insecurities and feelings of undesirability/having a VERY serious discussion about eating disorders/etc. etc. and open up the replies to go "wow this is so real and beautiful. can relate on the opposite end because i've always been skinny. always been really skinny and small and thin so i relate except the opposite, on account of because i'm small (unlike you) so it's the same thing i think. i tried soooo hard to gain weight but the pounds just don't wanna stick! lol. people tell me 'eat a burger!' which hurts, because i like being small and skinny and petite and little and i think it's so beautiful that i'm thin. just thought a different perspective might be helpful live laugh love xo"

I must not respond to the bad take. Responding to the bad take is the mind-killer. Responding to the bad take is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bad take has gone there will be nothing. Only I (and my good takes) will remain.

Lots of jokes get made in modern comics and fandom about the pejorative double entendre of Dick Grayson’s given/chosen nickname for Richard, and it IS funny, but I want to give a moment of appreciation for the other, kind of brilliant, double meaning that’s unfortunately fallen out of common modern usage, but would have been way more common when he was first named in 1940.

He’s literally named “detective” you guys, there is no way the World’s Greatest Detective’s partner wasn’t named this way on purpose.

Add to this the way the fandom loves to explore the 21st century reveal/retcon of Dick Grayson’s Romani heritage, and the possible etymology of the word, and you have a goldmine of largely untapped, to my knowledge, discussion of thoughts from Dick Grayson and the people around him about the relationship between his identity, the life he chose, the things he chooses to honor/remember, and the persistence of a nickname that has fallen increasingly out of favor in most other modern contexts.

I love when it’s as simple as “it’s his name and there’s no reason to change it”, but I also think there’s just lots of room for him to also have Real Thoughts about it throughout his life.

Proud of you all for getting increasingly hotter as you get deeper into your 20s and 30s and beyond. That’s really cool and brave and so fun.

i think if you stopped time and brought a gorilla to a new york deli and then started time again it wouldnt even be startled like it would immediately peruse the menu and order a reuben in sign language
