OH MY GOD

I have to say I'm not a fan of those posts that say Dick is angry all the time and just pretends to be nice and happy for his family and friends.

Like... ? Give my man some credit? He can be genuinely kind and cheerful without having to fake it? Why erase all of his personality just to give him moments of depth when he "explodes"?

Dick is kind and empathetic, cheerful and trustworthy. He doesn't fake it. He is not someone who lives acting for and by others.

Do you endure the fatigue and pain he feels? Yes, obviously... Like every hero in the community-

Yes, there are times when he must carry those negative feelings, hide them, and keep a cool head, of course. Sure, there are times when he really isn't okay, but he has to act like he is... But that doesn't mean that his entire personality is based on that.

Like people who say Dick has anger issues... Either they don't know what anger issues really are, or they don't know Dick at all.

I genuinely think that if someone takes Dick to one of those "rage rooms," he's going to be a bit unsure of what to do because he's not angry at that very moment. He's not going to explode right away. He will think and reflect first before he begins to let out everything that is weighing him down.

He doesn't live with anger under his skin, on the surface. It's there, for sure, like everyone has their negative feelings... But it is not his primary feeling as many try to make it seem.

been doing a LOT of analog note-taking / journaling / planning lately (new years' resolution fulfilled! yes!), and I've slowly but surely started writing mostly in cursive again.

that said, I'm old (almost 35, ew) so I have questions.

if you want to RB this and put you age / locale / whatever else you think is relevant in the tags, that'd be very cool

Cursive normally, but if it's something someone else has to read then I print because my general handwriting is not great.

I mostly write shorthand (stenography), actually. Look it up, kids 🤣

Objectively

the best

of the

Star Trek

movies.

The best bit of the “nuclear wessels” scene, is that Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig literally went out and asked passerby. Not extras; genuine strangers on the street.

I want to emphasize: in 1986, during the Cold War, they had a man with a Russian accent thick enough to walk on wander the streets asking random people about nuclear technology. I’m amazed that people were (vaguely) helpful.

A WHOLESOME AND INSANE MOVIE :D

NOBODY MOVE, BATMAN YEAR THREE IS FINALLY GETTING A STANDALONE COLLECTED EDITION

Let’s not forget George Pérez

My bid for the absolutely best writer of vol 4 is Sam Humphries. Too bad he wrote so few issues, he talked about further plans but for some reason he left after one arc. I didn’t like Percy’s run at all, though 😅

Nightwing Cover Cross Stitch

I made a cross stitch pattern based on the cover of Nightwing #78 art by Bruno Redondo.

It's a full coverage piece, but you could skip the pale blue background if you wanted. It's a large piece, 200 by 307 stitches. How large yours will be will depend on what size stitches you do. If you do 11 count (11 stitches per inch) it will be 18.2 x 28 inches. If you do 26 count, it would be 7.7 x 12 inches. Always add about 5 inches to both measurements so you have plenty of space around your piece. You don't want the fabric to unravel and ruin your project. You can cut the fabric down after you're done if you don't like having a lot of excess.

Movie/video game pitch: Start off with Dick as Ric

You follow Ric waking up in the hospital and have to piece together Dick Graysons life, not knowing who is lying and who is telling the truth, and piecing together his origin story as well as who’s after him

If they did that, finally those horrid years wouldn’t have been completely wasted
