Dull
Dull
Her eyes focused on the smallest particle of dust, as it slowly danced around through the air. She breathes ever so slowly in, then out again. Her eyes fell shut. She took in the quiet. The small ticks of her clock across the room, the sound of the AC running quietly from the other side of the house. It was as if the entire world was asleep. She Drew in a deep breath, breathing it out through her mouth slowly, drawing it out as long as possible. Slowly she reopened her eyes. She panned her eyes around the dull cold room, slowly taking in every detail. The lighting slightly changed as the sun passed behind the clouds outside her window. Her thighs and wrists still ached from earlier that day. She noticed the small pain on her elbow as well from the night before, where the skin had been scraped and irritated now. Her dull room walls sat around her like a prison cell seeming too slowly get closer as she lay in her bed. Even the large comforter couldn’t keep her warm as the Autumn air hit her neck and face. She felt the warm wetness fall from her eyes slowly, she once more breathed in ever so slowly as her mind continue to scream, she shut her eyes hoping it would all be over as fast as it started. ~Anon

It’s strange whenever someone is a problem you can usually just block them out, exept for when their family. Then your just stuck with them and it’s the worst experience ever. ~Anon

Night time seems like the common time for sadness to ambush your thoughts and terrorize them. Talking becomes difficult and you can't phase your thoughts good enough for them to spill out of your mouth, instead choking you when they are so close yet so far from being said. You wish for these things to crumble into the night leaving you empty because empty is easier than the screaming. Your broken thoughts become a recurring normality which you find the decency to name. Why these thoughts come so often is beyond you. Eventually they seep into the parts of your life where the sun is shining and your mind is suddenly a thousand times darker than the fire in the sky. Telling yourself lies to make them go away, you know what they are. They speak the truth unlike your filthy mouth which only pours the lies which hides what you really are. Like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Only your cover is wearing thin. ~Anon

A thing that irks me about the way certain DC fans discuss canon is they’ll read a run that best fits their interpretation of a given character and then they’ll use that to correct others based on that run alone.
I’m fairly new to the comics but I’ve been reading a lot of them lately— I jump around as I see fit— but what I’ve learned is that canon is barely canon half the time. Sure there will be time’s where things that are completely fanon become widespread like Tim’s coffee addiction but it feels like so many of these arguments about characterization come from a miscommunication.
I’m going to use Nightwing as an example bc he’s my fav but Nightwing’s personality has varied a lot over the years. I just read a post that was very informative but the tone of it was like this is what’s ACTUALLY the canon personality of Nightwing and one of the things they mentioned was that Dick wasn’t a playboy bc he only went on one date in that run. Like sure I wouldn’t consider Dick a playboy either but that’s a total misunderstanding of where that perception of him came from. Nightwing’s playboy-ness comes from the fact that he gets paired up with female love interests a lot. In Nightwing Year One he kisses Babs and when she asks about Starfire he’s weirdly dismissive of her. That’s fuckboy behavior. Do I like this interpretation? No but it’s still in the text. This isn’t even considering the media outside of the comics: Dick in btas vs the arkhamverse vs arkham knights— they’re all distinct from one another.
My point is DC is old and they’ve retconned their characters so much that sometimes the same character shares a name alone and nothing else, but it doesn’t necessarily make either one more or less canon. We’re all playing in the same sandbox I think it would be more fun if certain fans stopped policing other fans.
Bruce: Why did you get arrested?
Jason: We don't know?
Dick: We didn't do anything wrong.
Tim: We got pulled over and when the officer said "papers" Jason yelled "scissors" and Dick drove off.
