that issue of robin (1993) where tim is agonizing over the fact that he Cannot interfere with crime while he is Just Tim Drake (civilian) and how it’s ruining his social life and relationships….and then he runs into Helena (civilian, high school english teacher) who fully punches and knocks out the criminal he was pursuing in front of all her students and an entire crowd in a very public park. good stuff

They accuse us of never having read a comic, but honestly I've read some comments from DB shippers who seem to have never read NTT. It's okay, you can read whatever you want, but don't come with your opinion as if you were an expert on the subject.

I read a comment on reddit once that Kory is a character who was doomed to failure, that she wasn't that important in the Titans and that she was only created to be that typical character who is only there to be sexualized. And that's why DC changed Dick's love interest. Like, what??? I held myself back from responding to such stupidity. They think Kory was silly like in Show TT03 lol. And from the writing, she didn't seem like a child.

They don't read the comic books, it's fine. A lot of Dickkory shippers don't too, since a lot of us came from general audience. What i don't get is mischaracterizing Kory as someone stupid. Yes some terrible writers did sexualize her, but i don't recall her ever being stupid in comic books AND even in animations like TT03 and DCAMU. She was always portrayed as someone with deep compassion, charisma, and great sense of leadership. YES she was characterized as clueless since earth is new to her, but never stupid or airheaded (except in TTG, that slop is an unserious comedy skit after all).

Even in consuming animation medium this shipper failed to have any media literacy, huh. It's ironic coming from a shipper whose ship's entire chant is "READ THE COMIC BOOKS!" 🤣

you said you were looking for asks so i thought i'd jump in with: 3 (or 5, whichever you'd prefer) favourite comics ever? if you're feeling fancy, two lists, one in terms of quality of the actual comic, and one in terms of character moments etc

Ok so i'll make a list of my top 10 and say why (i'm also not exclusively doing DC comics but they are the majority):

Batgirl (2000): do i even have to explain this one? the art and visual storytelling makes me ill, the way it explores cass's character through her relationship with established characters like bruce and babs, the way cass is so fucking unhinged, the mother-daughter comparisons with shiva&babs vs the father-daughter comparisons between cain&bruce AASSFHFKSDF. ILL.

The New Teen Titans: this one holds a lot of nostalgia for me because it was one of the first comics I read! They were the first team i really latched onto and by extension the first characters i really felt strongly about. Rereading it as an adult and seeing how it still holds up is soooo incredibly satisfying (dickkory was baby's first otp)

Spinning by Tillie Walden: technically cheating because this is a graphic novel but I'm counting it because it's included under the umbrella of sequential art. it's a autobiographical graphic novel about tillie walden's experience growing up a lesbian in the south (of the US) through their relationship with figure skating. i really relate to it and it's a massive inspiration for me and i think everyone should read it

Impulse (1995): ...i'm audhd...it hits a very special and specific place in my heart...but in all seriousness i love the shape language and the character dynamics. god the cast is soooo fun

Robin & Batman: i love introspection and this whole comic is just Dick Grayson introspection. The way it covers Dick's emotional state post his parents death and how Bruce didn't really know how to help Dick outside of guiding him in channeling his grief into being a vigilante makes me insane...also the alfred characterization in this...the implication that he thinks he made the wrong choice by enabling Bruce and wanting to rectify that by not enabling Dick...

Spider-Gwen (2015): The art and concept is what drew me into this comic. I've been a spiderman fan since I was a little kid and the idea of gwen stacy being the spider person...AND SHE WAS A DANCER.. i was hooked. I love gwen as a character on a meta level and in general; she's my girl

Convergence Batgirl: listen...the implications this comic has about steph and cass's relationship...the "what do my eye's say" scene...lovers. teeny tiny baby run but im still counting it as a comic

...Is it cheating to say Young Justice 98? Imma say Young Justice 98: it was a gateway to me finding a bunch of characters that are now my faves. It shines a spotlight on characters we don't see all that often (like Cissie, Cassie, Anita--girl i miss you) I think about this comic constantly

Tea Dragon Society: another graphic novel! this is a comfort read for me! it's cozy it's sapphic it's a low-stakes

Batman/Huntress Cry for Blood: again this feels like kind of cheating BUT its my list so this is what I'm going with. This was my introduction to Helena and omg the feelings i have about her because of this comic...she makes me bonkers...the things i'd do for this woman

Bonus: JLI (i have not ever finished this one but i've started it many times and i love it i just need to actually finish it)
