I’m Pretty Sure I’ve Talked About This Before But It Randomly Pops Into My Head From Time To Time.

I will say that I think it's genuinely hilarious that often in propping up another robin there's this concept that gets floated that Dick had it comparatively easy which is wild for multiple reasons but the primary issue for me is that, at base, ignoring everything that happened to him and the things that he had to deal with, a 4th grader went so hard and was so dedicated to bringing justice and hope to the world that to this day if u have an 'R' on your chest in the DCU it's an instant stamp of quality. Like yes they all brought something interesting to Robin but only one of them had to build the house and he did it from a booster seat

Please i need people to understand that the tragedy of robins is that their parents did love them.

Dick’s parents love him they didn’t want to leave him. Jason’s parents loved him, they didn’t want to be trapped in poverty and crime. Steph’s mother loved her, she didn’t think Steph would get caught up in her husband’s schemes. Tim’s parents loved him, they never meant for him to be as alone as he was. Cass’s father loved her, he wanted her to be as strong as she could be. Damian’s mother loved him, she was raising him in impossible circumstances. Duke’s parents loved him, they never planned to get caught up in the attack.

And yes, these situations are different. Duke and Dick’s parents were good people, Steph mom and Jason’s dad are sometimes depicted as abusive but at other times shown to be struggling with their circumstances. Tim’s parents and Damian’s mom were good people who should never have been parents. Cass’s dad was a bad person who shouldn’t have been a parent. With Cass, there ended up being abuse, and with Damian too because one way or another Talia or the league’s training and general way of life would’ve harmed Damian, and some depictions of Tim’s parents imply severe neglect. But deep beneath that, despite the circumstances and even the failure of the people themselves, they did love their children, and were trying in their own way.

Just like Bruce loves his children, and why I’m sort of against the terrible father depiction. Because I think he’s traumatized and his knowledge of parenting would give him a poor subconscious fathering ability, but CONSCIOUSLY he loves his children, and he would try. That’s the difference. All the robins were loved, but they all lost their parents anyway. And they all will be loved again, because even is he fails, Bruce loves them too, and he is trying to do right by them. He’s trying to make sure none of their stories are tragedies.

Sometimes I like to sit and wonder what the whole like Wei Wuxian drama was like for Nie Huaisang

We obviously don't see them interact much after Cloud Resseces but I personally like to head cannon them as best friends also he convinces Mo Xuanyu to sacrifice himself to bring Wei Wuxian back so at the very least he trusted Wei Wuxian's abilities

How do you think he felt as the hatred of Wei Wuxian started to grow.

Do you think he knew of the plans to besiege the Burial Mounds and kill everyone there including Wei Wuxian?

If he did do you think he tried to convince his brother not to go or at least not to kill Wei Wuxian?

I can't imagine how that could have been for him whether he and Wei Wuxian were close at the time or not.

In my mind, when Nie Huaisang found out about the hatred for Wei Wuxian he wasn't surprised but would look back at the memories from Cloud Resseces and be like "Wei bro? My Wei bro? The one who taught me how to fish with my hands in the pond behind Cloud Resseces and bought porn from me Wei bro?"

And while he wouldn't say anything out loud when people like his brother or the other clan leaders mentioned how they hated Wei Wuxian he would curse them out in his head or something.

Also in my mind, Nie Mingjue's participation in Wei Wuxian's death is one of the only things Huisang could never forgive his brother for until the day of his death.

I love Nie Huaisang both as a clueless head shaker and as a scheming mastermind.

Live, Laugh, Nie Huaisang!!

ben hargreeves going from a silly side character who’s presence was completely dependent on another character to the key that makes up the final season of the show is truly the perfect representation of the power of fan service. like yeah. take the funny ghost that everyone loves and make sure that he’s at the center of the entire plot. why wouldn’t you give the people what they want?

The full comic is finally over!!! Thank you for following it ~

It has been years and Kiryu still hasn't recovered... He can still hear him...

thinking about that one trope where the hero is dying and reveals their secret identity at the last moment so they can die known and as the true person they were, not the hero name they designed. how, if dick were out as nightwing and were to be somehow in a life or death situation he literally could not see a way out of, and he was with a civilian who was comforting him in his final moments, he literally would have to die as nightwing and not dick grayson or else risk exposing the rest of his family. even if the civilian swore up and down and made a blood oath to never speak a word of this, dick would be unable to bring himself to allow himself the mercy of dying as dick grayson or hearing the name his parent's gave to him one final time
