It hurts me too! ;_; This period of time in Dick's life in post-Crisis continuity is just SO SHITTY, I feel so bad for him! The details are a little different in canon but the general atmosphere is the same. I love Bruce, I do, but this is one of those times where I want to shake him and yell. And Dick doesn't deserve it, I love Dick, and this is just all so awful. ...It's a good thing, though, in the long run. Nightwing is a good thing for him, as is his independence.

I feel a bit bad for Jason, too. He's an impertinent twatwaffle, but he just so badly wants approval, mostly from Bruce, but from Babs too, and definitely from Dick. I mean, Dick is the first Robin. You know Jason's a fan. I mean, HE DYED HIS HAIR BLACK TO LOOK LIKE HIM. Sure, he plans to be an even better Robin than Dick ever was, but Dick is kind of always hovering at the edge of every conversation with Bruce and Alfred and Barbara, even if Bruce never actually talks about him. So you can bet he's a bit jealous, too. And the very first time they meet Dick bites his head off without warning or provocation, and is massively condescending about it, so... that's got to suck. I can't blame Jay for getting snippy.

...ANYWAY. Thank you so much for reading and commenting! I'm glad you're enjoying it. :)
