Shout Out To Jinx For Knowing What’s Up 🙏

This is a friendly reminder that consent is important. It doesn't matter what your sexual/romantic orientation is. It doesn't matter what kind of the physical touch it is (anything from a handshake to a hug to a kiss to sex, etc.). It doesn't matter if you have said "yes" before and say "no" now. You always have the right to say "no." You should never compromise your boundaries because they are valid.

Additionally, it is important to respect the boundaries of others. Even if their boundaries are completely different from yours, they are still valid and should be respected.

April 27th for Jason

The sins of the father will forever haunt the soul of his son

Dick isn't a cheater or a womanizer. He can't stand the idea of it.

I don't know what was going on with the wedding scene and him sleeping with Barbara but that is a blatant mischaracterization of him.

There's countless examples in the comics where he talks about only being able to be with one person.

When Kori gets married to Karras under the force of her father, Dick needs to go home but she begs him to stay. But Dick can't do it.

The New Teen Titans (1984) Issue #26

He can't bear to cheat or be used as the object of cheating. His moral standards are too high for that. He also tells Kori afterwards that love should be between two people.

It's impossible for him to just sleep around.

Action Comics Issue #614

"I gotta be honest, Roy-I couldn't make love to someone I didn't really love."

He can't even sleep in the same bed as another woman when he's in love with someone else.

Batgirl (2016) Issue #17

"You could've shared the bed."

"I'm-I'm just not over Shawn yet."

To Helena he talks about how he can't sleep with just anyone and to Roy in Outsiders he scolds him for wanting to sleep with every female hero.

It's literally impossible for Dick to cheat or sleep around. He can't be romantic with people he knows he's not dating. The guy's rock solid.

Dick's morals exist for himself. He's intrinsically the most upstanding character in the DC community.

I really REALLY REALLY hate how DC dashed literally decades of characterization just so they could promote a ship.

It's SO out of character that there's scene in direct contradiction to this.

In the New Teen Titans (1984) comic, Dick has a dream about kissing Raven and he wakes up panicked next to Kory because he's dating her.

Kori tells him she sees the way Raven looks at him, in love, but Dick doesn't believe it for a second.

But this has been going on for a while and Dick is sick of it because he knows he loves Kory and no one else. He's scared and tired so Kory offers to talk to Raven for him which he gladly accepts.

The New Teen Titans (1984) Issue #39

With a little kissing of course <3

So Kori meets Raven and they hang out together where Kori explains the difference between friendship love and romantic love

Raven subconsciously influenced Dick to kiss her with her powers because she was in love with him. But Kori doesn't get mad at her,

I love Kori so much.

Anyways, they have their chat and Dick meets Raven again after Kori and her three week vacation sister-bonding.

HE'S LITERALLY HAVING A MELTDOWN BECAUSE RAVEN KISSED HIM

He's full on panicking that her chat with Kori didn't work. His first thought is "where's Kory?". At this point the poor boy is scared to even be in the same room as her despite Kory giving her explicit permission to date Raven.

That's how much Dick emphasizes monogamy, love, and his partner.

He's only relieved that it turned out to be a prank. Not too pleased with the kissing prank but ig it is what it is.

You can't have all these scenes and then do that Devin Grayson. It doesn't work that way. He doesn't work that way.

jason will always bring so much comfort to me, like the man canonically protects civilians, isn't afraid to show emotions, isn't afraid to show that he cares. he's incredibly clever and meticulous, dorky at times. in a family of pretenders, brought up by a man who would rather die than show emotions and an older brother figure fixated on perfection, jason still shows vulnerability. he chases justice and closure, he gives voice to victims and survivors. beneath the scary exterior and false rumors of mindless rage is a person who, without any doubt in my book, is good, is caring, and is deserving of having that care be returned.

Hiya in ur deaged Timmy au, do you think Dick ever fought with Jason over Tim’s attention or got extreme jealous?

i think dick is really happy that jason and timmy get along so well but he’s also personally going through it

thank you @feyburner for the dialogue

Third redraw of this piece! Comparison under the cut

Happy International Asexuality Day!

I like that the most important thing for Jason is to save the child, even if he may accidentally reveal his secret identity or get hurt
