I think there are some things here that might be relevant to your interests!

I also think the description of any story containing Dick and a person who is past the age of puberty and isn't, like, Bruce or Alfred, should contain the words "and then there was kissing," because, you know, it wouldn't even be all that far from canon. Also, also, one of the things that tickles me greatly about fanart people post of him on tumblr is how he always talks in hearts. He is made of sparkly hearts, guys. Even as Batman.

YES TO THIS WHOLE THING. Oh man, I was reading the Who Is Donna Troy? trade the other day (which is AWESOME, BTW, it's basically all about Dick and Donna being the best BFFs ever) and at Donna's wedding, Bruce and Dick go out on this balcony to talk about how Dick feels kind of weird that Bruce is adopting Jason but he never adopted Dick, and while they're having this very serious conversation, there's a cluster of women in the background admiring Dick's ass. Like, LADIES, PLEASE, HE IS HAVING VERY IMPORTANT FEELINGS, GOD. *laughs and laughs* I have never seen a character who is so frequently, randomly lusted over IN CANON as Dick is. It's HILARIOUS. And ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE, because yeah. Wouldn't you?

Thanks for the link! I will definitely check out the ones I haven't read!

I've heard that! I'll put it on my list of things to read eventually.

Ahahahaha! That is, like, the PERFECT ENCAPSULATION of how he's presented in universe.

I totally would, but you're right, it's not something I have really ever seen about any other character in any medium.
