If a fella makes a nebula right in front of you, how are you not gonna pine after him for 6000 years?
aw that’s adorable
i just imagined this scenario in my head where someone who knows the wheelers from a long time (a relative or just a friend of the family) calls the wheeler siblings™ by their respective heights.
at first, it's the same as their birth order: Nancy as the "big Wheeler", Mike as "middle Wheeler" and Holly as "little Wheeler". then, Mike clearly gets taller than Nancy and now he is the "big Wheeler".
after some years, Holly not-so-suddenly outgrows Nancy and then Nancy is stuck being the "little Wheeler" forever, which makes her grumpy and flustered every time someone brings this up (Mike teases her a lot about that).
would love to hear your thoughts / opinions / analysis of the whole “everyone loves dick grayson” thing !
Dick's like- yeah no thanks I got my own team to which J'onn is like seriously, child? Well, fineeeeeee. If you reallyyyy want that but just letting you know we got the best candidates lined up for you anytime.
He has Wonder Woman's adoration and respect especially with her chiding the green Martian for even doubting Dick for a second:
Saw this post online by lee cain Jr. that explains it pretty aptly:
No but really, he is everyone's favorite. He's the only person in the dc universe that has the undivided loyalty and admiration of every person imaginable including villains.
Heroes in general just love him and want to help him
Any help he wants they're more than delighted to do it.
Or just to protect him
I made a post earlier about how he's all the kids' favorite.
And also another one about him being the batfamily's favorite.
Tim also goes on a suicide mission despite knowing that it's a suicide mission just to save Dick because he loves him.
Ofcourse Bruce's too
But on top of that, the Titans are always willing to go to hell for him.
Donna's the one who comes out and says it straight but the way titans reacted why Dick died after forever evil?
The only reason the titans joined together is because Dick asked them. They grieved. Their teamwork completely fell apart and their mission went way sideways.
Bludhaven loves him like crazy.
The city of crime will raise their pitchforks and machine guns if you hurt him
He's just everyone's favorite. The hero of heroes.
Reader he did not change his ways
bruce leaning into the 'Batman and Bruce Wayne Are Sleeping Together?!?' rumors to keep the heat off his real identity
You know, an interesting tumblr transformation that's happened gradually, and which I've seen no one talk about: ask-culture has essentially dropped off to nothing.
By which I mean, asks used to be WAY more of the tumblr economy. They used to be more common to send, and receive, and see. They were integral to the collaborative, forum-like behavior of old tumblr communities, not even to speak on the HUGE number of ask-blogs that used to exist to only be interacted with in ask-form.
I'm not saying this in a vying-for-attention way but instead in an observational way: I used to get way way more asks in like 2015, even with a fraction of my follower count. I wonder if it's due to the homogenization of social media sites? There's a lot more of this divide between "content creator" and "consumer" instead of just a bunch of peer blogs who would talk to each other. "Asks" aren't really a thing on twitter, are they? And as I understand it, the closest thing to an "ask" on instagram or tiktok would be a creator screenshotting some comment and responding to it in a new reel or video or whatever those content mediums are. Are asks just too tumblr-specific? Is that aspect of the site culture dying out as more and more people converge to using all their social media sites in the same way?
gojo "love is the most twisted curse of all" satoru gonna be speechless when yuji saves megumi with the power of love. bc it's no secret that megumi n yuji are clear parallels to gojo and geto. but this time they're going to break the cycle. they're going to get out of the cog mentality. they're going to change the very foundations of jujutsu society. these are the themes that gege has fleshed out so well, that man knows what he's doing fr
Guess who got hit with a de-aging beam 👍🏻

Dick: Let’s see, you’ve met ✨me✨, Duke, Dami, Al… who else is around…
Dick: Oh hey! It’s Jason!
Jason: Uh.
Timmy: Jason………. Todd?
Dick: That’s right!! (Wow, good memory!)
Jason: Hi.
Dick: T-TIM?!

Birds of a feather...
Tony having a new york house and a california house absolutely makes sense but i think it would be so funny if he’s torn between fast food places in the two locations. Like, he loves the coffee from a local NYC shop but he wants to drink it with an In-n-out burger.
Imagine Tony asking Peter if he wants to go get a burger and next thing Peter knows, they’re hoping on a private plane to california. and peter has to figure out an excuse as to why he is in california because “My aunt has my phone location, and she would never believe that the Stark internship free me out to get a burger!”
Hey! So it's not really an ask but. I feel like Dick Grayson is no Ken doll, for how many jobs he has done through the years he is a Barbie doll. I really feel like it's right, any help on the cause?
Absolutely right!
For me Ken represented someone who kinda accepts things for the way they are. Like kinda a happy-go-lucky person who just takes things at face value and chases after love.
But that's not how Dick is. Dick's life is dedicated towards helping others. His ambition is relentless, always crashing through glass ceilings to newer heights.
He always wants to be part of something greater, to achieve the impossible, to become the greatest of his field.
On a side note, I think this is what makes him a Slytherin.
A canon reference- in a Nightwing comic where Dick's past comes to haunt him, it shows that while the Flying Graysons were the main attraction of the show, the real highlight-the crowd drawer of the circus-was Dick: and he knew it. Even at an age as young as 6, people came to the circus just to see him perform and Dick reveled in that glory.
As robin Dick always went off to do his own thing because he wanted to do more because he knew he could. It's exactly like Barbie
Although Barbie was more hesitant in exploring the other side, Dick strives for it which is even farther from Ken Behavior who is content to leave things the way they are regardless of the goods and bads of his situation.
Characters are always talking about Dick doing the impossible and how it relates to him meeting or surpassing Batman's expectations.
I guess it sums down to this: Barbie has ambition and Ken doesn't. And the reason why Dick is the exact opposite of Ken and much more similar to Barbie is because Dick's driving force, aside from helping people, is to be the best at everything he does.
Because when you start breaking your own records, you will never be satisfied with the way things were before just like how Barbie and Dick felt.
