Quick question about how you decide what comics to care about? When it comes to characterization?

I know there’s comics that are generally considered ooc and no one really incorporates them into their characterizations. (Eg: I skimmed All Star Batman and Robin for fun. I now understand why people call him Crazy Steve, and I’m obviously not going to be taking this particular iteration of Batman and Robin into account when characterizing them.) But other than these really obvious instances, how do you deal with it? Like, I know fans of pre-N52 comics avoided a lot of stuff during that time? But now that we’re in Rebirth? I know that characterization in comic fandoms is always a bit thorny because of comic books as a medium, with all those different writers, timeline resets, etc… But you seem to have a really good handle on that, cause whenever I read any of your stuff and then read a comic, I’m usually like, yeah, same person here. Which I think is a feat! So, do you sort on vibes? Writers? Another metric? Case by case? TLDR: How do you deal when a character canonically says/does something that makes you go, “he would not fucking say that?”

Love your blog! And your writing!!!! Thank you!!!!!

ahh, crazy steve. what a guy (derogatory)

hmmmmmm for me personally if im writing a character i generally identify a “core” comic, regardless of retcons or conflicting characterisation, and then go off that. im reading a lot of bart allen atm so i focused on mark waid and todd dezago and completely ignored everything geoff johns has done with the character. for dick, scott snyder and judd winick are kinda the benchpoint for me, and then i kinda pick and choose (from wolfman, dixon, higgins, etc) what i think fits with that character. jason is easy cause he’s only had two comics worth anyone’s time. weirdly, some of roys best comics are written by devin grayson. so on and so forth.

wrt “he wouldn’t fucking say that” disease of which i am a chronic sufferer, I look back on dick (as an example) and his legacy characterisation, and whether or not it would make sense. not all legacy characterisation is good, mind!! but it’s generally easier to get a good benchmark if u go off a period when writers weren’t terminally on twitter. a lot of it is case by case, and i just map that in my brain

idk like SO much of it is just vibes and trying to create some internal consistency. like u said — there is so much conflicting characterisation and plotting and events that it can be very difficult so u just kinda have to trust ur own intuition. when i first posted persephone and got positive feedback for how i wrote dick I was kinda surprised — cause how i write him tends to clash with his popular depiction in both fandom and many modern comics. ig my real advice if ur writing (or reading) about these characters is to not fear complexity, and be conscious of exactly how racist most comic writers are.

Kinda confirmed in canon, Lian has a plushie version of Tempest.

I was thinking about merch in-universe and how we always see Dick wearing a superman march, and that's true and valid and absolutely in-character for Dick, he loves superman but also I feel like he would wear titans merch a lot too because his friends are amazing ?

So here are some Titans merch headcanons for Dick specifically:

Mr Dick, I feel as if I've known and loved you all my life, Grayson would definitely wear a Wondergirl and later on Troia pajamas and tee shirt and he would specifically tell people it's a Troia shirt and not a wonder woman shirt because Troia is amazing. Also he and Donna have a mug of each other and it's both of their favorites. I don't make the rules.

He also have some cute figurines of all the titans and a Titans together tee shirt (everyone has a matching one, a gift from Kori at some point).

Lian used to have all of the titans toys when she was tiny given by said uncles and aunts but one in particular is an extremely loud and annoying Arsenal toy given by Dick after Roy purposefully bought the ugliest and most obnoxious merch he could find of Nightwing and wore it to mess with Dick (this move was probably inspired by Gar and Vic doing the same thing to each other always). Lian loved it. Roy...wanted to throw it out of the window. He did not.

He has both a flash and kid flash mug. He got the Kid flash one when they were still Robin and Kid Flash and it has never broken.

He definitely has some stuff that Garth brought back from Atlantis and Tempest stickers. They are very cool. He also has a Garth shirt that he really likes.

🚨 Students at Harvard University launched an encampment in support of Gaza in Harvard Yard moments ago, calling for an end to Harvard's moral and material complicity in the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

Harvard has invested over $200 million of its over $51 billion endowment in companies with ties to zionist settlements in the West Bank, while most of its investments to the zionist entity are kept secret.

The students are demanding financial transparency regarding investments related to the zionist entity, as well as genocide and occupation in Palestine; divestment from these investments and reinvestment in Palestine; and dropping all charges against student activists.

The University has suppressed student voices in support of Palestine time and time again, suspending the Palestine Solidarity Committee just this week on baseless grounds. They have also enabled attacks on pro-Palestinian students from the media and politicians. Today, the students say enough is enough, and that they will no longer tolerate their institution's support for genocide.

This brings the number of ongoing encampments to 19, with more to come.

2024 feels like the inflection point for AIPAC's political influence in the same way that 2018 was the inflection point for the NRA and it honestly can't come soon enough

RHatO soured this, so I don't think these two should be getting together anytime soon unless it's them commiserating over how badly they behaved towards each other during the New 52.

Damn a tiktok got me thinking

ROYKORI

So, I like them in the sense that both characters are kindhearted beings and good friends.

They have both gone through terrible things and come out of it, with a mentality of being better than what happened to them, they look for the good side of things, they try to understand and help others. Which I can see them relating to deeply. But going more into the characters' psyche, they would actually make a great pairing.

From the beginning, Roy treats Kori as someone who is much more than an infantilized alien who does not understand anything about humans, a mistake that others make multiple times. He does not treat her like an ignorant, a child who is just learning or who throws aggressive tantrums, which other members do. (which makes Kori get used to overexplain herself like in the panels above).

Roy takes her seriously her and her powers, doesn't understimate at all her potential. He is the kind of guy to talk about things (when actually notices something is wrong or upsetting somebody) Thing that has been a problem for Kori, since she tends to help the rest but not express herself as much as she feels)

Both are pretty open to love and show affection to people , both are pretty emotional ,both have a good amount of sexual drive (Not that this is crucial to me, but realistically speaking the sexual drive is another factor to take into account in a relationship) , both have known eachother and been good friends for a long time and are willing to talk thing wherever they're having a hard moment.

As a plus , they're the ones to call up Dick when he is being too much like the bad part of Batman.

Now , I'm not saying they should be together, but it's actually a nice "ship" if the writers ever decide to pair them up together.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk 🧏

Stage 2 of Israel’s genocidal war is emerging. Mass graves are being discovered. Torture of abducted Palestinian hostages thrown in Israeli prisons and reports of selected human organ extractions from fresh Palestinian corpses in Gaza. Intelligent agencies report all this in their morning briefings to President Biden. Still he sticks to his master, Netanyahu, and makes the American taxpayer pay $14 billion more for Netanyahu’s slaughter of Palestinian children, women and male civilians.

This brave Palestinian journalist in Khan Younis shares his work with his dog which did not leave him during the hard times..

He says: “This dog starved and dehydrated when I starved and dehydrated due to the lack of food and water in #Gaza. So that, I feel its pain which is similar to my pain.”
