Reminder That Dick Grayson Is Of Romani Descent And So Are Wanda And Pietro Maximoff And Most Fans Dont

Reminder that Dick Grayson is of Romani descent and so are Wanda and Pietro Maximoff and most fans don’t know this because they either don’t read comics and because a lot of writers don’t really acknowledge it when it comes to those characters

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

i feel like there's a. semi-concerning amount of people who think that joker junior happened to mainline tim. so as a refresher, here's some things that did and didn't happen to mainline tim:

did happen:

✅️ fought against the joker with the help of his d&d group, eventually outthinking him

✅️ got choked out in batcave by azbats

✅️ got ebola and almost died (the clench was an ebola virus)

✅️ ebola came back

✅️ ran away to paris after a kid from his school died, came back to find out gotham utterly destroyed by earthquake

✅️ gotham kicked out of united states, becomes the face of that whole mess after he gets very famously extracted from the exclusion zone by the federal government

✅️ almost eaten by killer croc at least once a year, three years in a row

✅️ almost eaten by charaxes (at least twice)

✅️ dad and girlfriend die within the same week

✅️ ended up in a warzone at least 3 times

✅️ (sigh) has lex luthor trying to manipulate a bad future in which he and his friends become bad

✅️ ...and many more

things that did not happen to mainline tim

❌️ became joker junior at any point or time. this is a dcau event only, that happens to a tim that has jason-lite elements put into his backstory because the dcau wanted to do the story flavors of jason while having the name recognition of tim in the 90s.

The thing with "Angry murderous Robin Dick" is that people are pointing at one single event: the deaths of his parents by Zucco and the aftermath at the beginning of his Robin career (and sometimes before he even started being Robin). An event which was so emotionally charged for him, his reaction at that time shouldn't be taken as typical for him, and saying: "See he was definitely the angry Robin", kinda erases the fact that he had 8 to 10 years as Robin after that when he didn't react that way (see Batman/Superman: World finest).

Also, the Zucco aftermath is honestly misrepresented when people say Dick was murderous at that time, because out of the three most famous post-crisis origin stories for Dick (Dark victory, Batman Year 3 and the Robin annual) two of them are left ambiguous as to whether Dick actually wanted Zucco dead while looking for him as he never says it and one he says he wants Zucco dead when his parents' corpses are in front of him but explicitly changes his mind and tell Bruce he doesn't want him dead after a few days.

And it continues as an adult with "Dick has anger issues" and people continue to point to incredibly emotionally charged moments where he is pissed and kinda right to be and saying: "see anger issues". It doesn't work that way.
