“Dick Grayson is Bruce’s greatest accomplishment” “Nightwing is everything Batman can’t be” “Dick is the best of us”

And. AND. There’s so much of Bruce in Dick, so much of what he could have been without the trauma and self-imposed isolation, that when the JL talks about Nightwing being so good in contrast to Batman, they don’t always realize how much of that goodness is Bruce’s.

Dick stands on his own as a team leader and a kind man, but to say he built himself from the ground up would be a lie. Bruce filled in the cracks around an angry, traumatized child. He gave Dick what he didn’t have. His goodness lives on in Dick because it can’t always live on in him.

My favorite thing about Starfleet Academy is that a solid 3/5ths of our main cast are assholes. They're overly competitive, they're a little self absorbed, they each think they're the smartest person in any given room....I have never seen a more accurate depiction of freshmen in a highly competitive college environment. They're so annoying.

Have you ever had success persuading someone to go to the doctor when they don't care about their own well being?

Not without applying leverage to some maladaptive codependencies that existed within the relationship dynamic.

The person concerned would never get help for themaelves unless it was framed as “how can you be so selfish and hurt me like this? Why won’t you take care of yourself? Isn’t my love for you enough?”

I don't regret it because it got them the help they needed and they got better, but I didn’t enjoy having to resort to that and our relationship has never really been the same.

The cast: Matt why didn't Julien react to his dad being brutally murdered?!?

Matt, with passion: There was an immediate scene change

I think this has been said before but, yk the idea of 'living is the best' in tcf? And Cale, being the most staunch believer in it, despite his actions being so contradictory?

The thing is, i do agree that the man believes it completely. But like, you have to wonder if he ever doubted that statement considering his lifestyle. Honestly, who would ever consider living alone in a post apocalyptic world with everyone you ever loved dead the 'best'?

But like, what if he actually did?

What if that really was the reason he clung to living, the reason he went to work day after day?

Because then it would all make sense. He lived because he perceived it was the best, and not because it actually was. Especially after the soos incident? That was the time his ideals were probably shaken to the core, because—what sort of living could be so harrowing? What was so good about it?

But i think at that point the reasoning didn't matter. Living was the best—living had to be the best—so he had to live on. If he ever considered anything else, his mind would've collpased—and that's a mild reaction, considering what he's been through. I like to think that his self-sacrificial tendencies were an outlet to that, like a way to die that wasn't actively killing himself. A way to not deny the belief of the dead man he had admired the most.

A way to say 'living is the best, but dying isn't so bad either'.

But i also think, at some point, he came to believe the statement wholeheartedly. Especially after things settled in his new world, with his family, with even the soos returning—maybe at some point, he did exclaim to himself, Ah, living really is the best, and actually meant it, unlike usual.
