I'm reading Emily Dickinson (because I'm convinced that that's where River gets half her dialogue) and I think of you every time a poem says "Robin". Which is often.
I've found that Tim is the best beloved even without removing Dick from contention, and have even found in some corners that it's apparently the cool thing now to write Dick off as, I don't know, old school, while Tim is the hip new thing.
... meanwhile I mostly find "Jason who?" when I don't outright run into "UNCLEAN!"
I make the saddest of sad faces, and then I remember I can just keep following you and loving everything you write, ever.

Hmph.

Yeah, I've mostly been lucky to not run into a lot of Jason hate, though I see it pop up sometimes and I'm just like, whatever. haters gonna hate. It bothers me more that the actual writers can't seem to do right by him.

I spent that entire fic clutching my chest and going OH SUPERGIRL over and over. I so hope the author finishes it, I NEED a happy ending for her. Everyone else can be turned back and Supergirl can just stay Supergirl
YES! OMG! I CRIED A COUPLE OF TIMES. I CAN'T CAPSLOCK ENOUGH ABOUT HOW MUCH I WANT HER TO STAY SUPERGIRL. AND ALSO FOR SUPERMAN TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A JERK.
Right? Either she is too shrewish or too demure, or he turns into some kind of suave sex god that makes me laugh. Like, I totally believe he has more experience than she does, because he has his time with Mai, but he's still a ginormous dork. It's what makes him him. Too often writers seem to forget about that part of his characterization.
From what I've seen an awful lot of the Katara/Zuko writers (at least the ones I've been exposed to) aren't really writing about the characters from the show, they're writing about The Fire Prince and The Water Maiden (or, alternately, themself), two people who share some grand passion for each other because fire/water yin/yang good girl/bad boy whatever. When I started watching, I went looking for fic (because, well, it's what I do) and found mostly big sprawling Katara/Zuko epics being recommended, and came to the conclusion that hey, this must be a thing in the show! And then I watched the rest of the show and wondered what show those people had actually been watching. *grin*
Because yes, Zuko's a ginormous dork who shows absolutely no romantic interest in *anyone*, with the slight exception of Jin, until he and Mai are reunited.
Yeah, I think you're right. And I think those stories can be enjoyable if one goes into them with a mindset that that's what they are, but they're generally not what I'm looking for when I go looking for fic.

*nod nod*
He's pretty much obsessed with his HONOR. I mean, obviously, I find things in canon that make me interested in reading about them making with the smoochies, but it's not really because he shows any kind of real interest in her as a girl; it's more in how they interact.

...Even then, he gets a magnificent moonlit butt-shot.
Of course he does. I don't think I've ever seen a male character objectified so blatantly and often in canon as Dick.
