Dick wasn't the violent angry type either.
No, but he was a menace in the older comics. If I'm not incorrect, he wanted to kill the person who killed his parents and tried to do that out of grief. He was violent as in he was a hurricane in the shape of an eight year old, he had a satanic amount energy. Child Grayson was nothing if not a chaotic ray of sunshine :)
Hey 💌 I’m Saja — a mother trying to hold onto hope through days that feel impossibly heavy.
I know you probably see a lot online, but if you could take just a moment… I’d be so grateful.

🌿 And if you’re in a place to give, even a small donation could bring comfort to my daughter and help us feel safe again.
@sajagz, thank you for listening.
Even gentle support creates strength.
From one heart to another — thank you 🤍
Of course! <3
Dick didn’t want to kill Zucco, nor did he try to kill him. He wanted justice for the murder of his parents, but justice wasn’t through death
Maybe, I'm still relatively new to the fandom! I'll do my research and change the violent part. I apologize if I said something wrong! :D
Gojo Satoru is the most misunderstood, mischaracterized and sexualized character in all of anime and that's really depressing to think about :(
Hi there,

Of course! Hoping your family peace, happiness and solitude!!
hey, who would you say is your least favorite character from the marauders era?
Severus Snape.
'Stephanie Brown was the Robin, Batman deserved but didn't need'
I do stand by the notion. Unlike Jason, Tim and Damian, she WANTED to be Robin, it wasn't handed to her, for Damian it was basically his birth right.
Her relationship with Batman is just really complex. What he did to her was wrong, but you should punch yourself if you think he doesn't care about his Robins, CAUSE HE DOES, HE'LL DIE FOR EVERY ONE OF THEM. No, he isn't her father and she isn't his daughter.
Stephanie was the Robin Batman needed because she was his reflection in many ways. Her stubbornness matched his, her sense of justice reminds me of Batman, her anger towards criminals and her sympathy towards victims all represent what the Batman Mantle stands for. However, she is her own character.
Stephanie Brown is a mirror but she is herself. Her stubbornness that of Bruce, she's hardworking just like Cassandra, her strong sense of justice matches that of Jason Todd and her energy to make everyone around her comfortable matches that of Dick Grayson.
What makes Stephanie herself is her flaws. Her stubbornness, anger, people pleasing-ness, her such strong sense of justice, how she loves so hard that it ruins her but it still doesn't stop her from loving, her emotional behavior but that's what Stephanie is!!
She does a golden retriever energy and I do believe that, she's my comfort character <3 and I think that aura contrasts that of Batman. I'm not justifying Bruce for what he did and her death could have been avoided but she was meant to be a vigilante. In another universe where she gets the Batman Mantle, I will assure you that she would be the Batman, Bruce couldn't be.
I am so sick and tired of people revolving her character around being a golden retriever or a love interest of Tim Drake and/or Cassendra Cain!
In short,
Stephanie Brown was the Robin Batman deserved was because she was his own reflection, no one could've made him see his flaws that way she could have because she's his flaws personified (this isn't an insult), sure he didn't need her, but the timeline of Stephanie being Robin is very special to me. I know what he did was wrong, but I do know her death was something that had a major effect on him because he failed another child, another Robin, another person who looked upto him. I do believe that Bruce cared, but that care didn't overshadow his harshness on her. I do believe Bruce regretted how he behaved when she was Robin, and I do believe he went to her grave every week to give flowers not out of guilt but out of care.
Should Stephanie Brown forgive him? No. However, will she? Yes. Stephanie Brown is nothing if not someone who believes in second chances.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk, I'm NOT normal about Stephanie Brown :D
I hope this was enough to answer your question on my previous post @a-bad-case-of-the-stephs
<3
Moving on.
Growing up.
Stephanie Brown, they could never make me hate you <3 :)
I absolutely despise it when female characters with genuinely good potential, who are so very complex, are reduced to being love interests or comedic reliefs or killed for a male character's development, because that's so, misogynistic and also, hella boring!! I can give numerous examples of it happening and it's so disappointing!
• Stephanie Brown : In fanon, I've often seen her get portrayed as the love interest of Cassandra or Tim, with no actual personality, likes, dislikes and interests! Stephanie's character is based on her anger towards her father and her strong sense of justice. She's a great student, I personally head-cannon her to have ADHD, she's canonically a painter, she plays sports, she loves hard, she definitely has attachment issues and she's overall an extremely flawed and realistic character!
Her character focuses on serious problems such as teen pregnancy, family issues, how young girls are often preyed on, etc. Yet, all I mostly see is her being golden retriever person with no flaws whose just reduced to a love interest? Downright awful, however there are multiple really excellent analysis and fanfictions about her. However, like always, misogyny has destroyed so much of her character already.
• Cassandra Cain : Unlike Stephanie, Cassandra's character deals with racism. She is a firm believer how killing is extremely wrong, and YET, she understands when it is necessary. Cassandra isn't illiterate, and is not completely mute. She isn't some emo goth child killer who can't speak! Her character is extremely expressive, and she's alot more than Bruce 2.0 or Stephanie's love interest. Cassandra has quirks, she's weird, she has her own personality, likes, dislikes and interests and it's about damn time we acknowledge and appreciate that.
• Talia Al Ghul : Don't get me wrong, as much as I adore the character of Damian Wayne, it often overshadows the character of Talia! She's often reduced to either a pawn in her father's game, a love interest of Bruce or a mother to Damian, there's barely any information about her which doesn't include the men in her life! What about her childhood? Her likes and dislikes? Her life in the LOA? Her experience and her loyalty towards it? She's not some cold-hearted dragon lady whose yandere towards Bruce unlike how some ffs portray her! She's an anti-hero, she's her father's daughter yes, but she is also herself, I personally believe that she doesn't need or require a love interest but i dont have any hate against any particular ship which includes her. She likes animals and she's girly, she has her own personality that doesn't revolve around her father, Bruce or Damian. She's a doctor and a healer, she's an assassin and an excellent businesswoman! She's kind and she's cruel, she's a diverse and extremely complex character who deserves good writing and respect!
Before she's a mother, daughter or an ex, she is herself and considering how all of her romantic interests (except Bruce in some comics), I think it's better that she's single or find someone way way better than Bruce Wayne, however, that doesn't mean i hate any ships involving her, I just hate how it often overshadows her actual character.
• Natasha Romanoff : She's a fictional character who revolves around issues such as human trafficking, abuse and so much trauma, yet most of the time she's a love interest or a sexualized tool in the movies (Huge respect to the movie Black Widow for actually making her wear appropriate spy suits <3).
It's about damn time, we actually explore and focus on these characters according to their trauma and the issues that revolve around them instead of using them as objects for male characters and their character development cause that's just, that's just disappointing. There are so many, so many female characters whose character has been overshadowed just to make a male character look better! There are tons and tons of female characters in different fields such as comic books, anime and even TV series which have to deal with so much misogyny and racism because they are flawed while men who have the exact same traits are praised for it! It's about time we accept that females are humans too, female characters are people too and they are imperfect, they have flaws and that what makes them who they are!!
No hate to any particular fan fiction, writer or comic. This is just my personal opinion, and that's all! <3 :D
Thinking about Talia al Ghul and how her loneliness, loyalty and love were the reason for all her 'bad' doings :(
Her loneliness gave Nyssa an advantage to manipulate her :( [Nyssa is a very well written character despite that, she's a victim too :(]
Her loyalty towards her father and the LOA :( [Although the LOA is an organization, not a cult.]
Her love was the reason she gave up Damian/faked a miscarriage, followed her father's orders, sacrificed her own happiness for others on multiple occasions :(
And you're trying to convince me she's a rapist who's a villain? Nuh-uh, go pick up an accurate comic book about her which wasn't by a misogynistic and racist writer (Grant Morrison you-).
