Feeling a mild level of disconnect, yet again, with the way people talk about Dick's time as a Robin, when it's literally never been easier in my lifetime to pick up a story showing Dick when he was Robin.

Issues published in the last 4 years containing Dick Grayson While He Was Robin:

Batman/Superman: World's Finest: 1-4, 6-17, 20, 23, 25-27, 2024 Annual (22 issues)

World's Finest: Teen Titans: 1-6 (6 issues)

Robin & Batman: 1-3 (3 issues)

Robin 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular (1 story in the issue)

This is excluding flashbacks in ordinary storylines, hallucinations, dreams, elseworlds, alternate futures, etc. Just stories about Dick being Robin.

Also recently reprinted and currently easily available:

Batgirl Year One (7 issues)

Teen Titans Year One (6 issues)

Robin Year One (4 issues - new box set coming later this year)

Dark Victory (13 issues)

Like, do you want to look at Dick as Robin? You've got multiple versions, written by multiple writers, over multiple decades, easily in print right now. There are 3 different versions of Dick's origin story on that list, 3 different versions of early Teen Titans, and what is even more gold: several full storylines set during Dick's time as Robin that aren't origin stories. And that's not even touching golden age or silver age reprints, accessibility via DCUI, what your library system might have, good old piracy...

If you want to discuss what Dick was like when he was Robin, you've GOT multiple interpretations available! at your fingertips! and none of them are as simple or boring as 'small murder-rage child' or 'Holy Batjokes!'

It’s so strange to me that a whole lot of people misinterpret edwin as being “socially awkward” or “uncharismatic” when he’s really quite capable in both those departments? I mean he’s the face of the agency and talks to clients like a professional, he’s quickwitted and takes notice of cues and implications in conversation, he’s quintessentially eloquent and has no issue or hesitation presenting his arguments and opinions, he was raised in an environment where being keenly aware of social cues was essential both in basic society and moreover for a boy trying to avoid being hurt all the time, etc etc etc. the moments where he comes off as awkward tend to be ones that are easily explained by the situation– like when he’s flustered, dealing with a sensitive topic or feelings he’s not used to, or when something highlights him being a bit out of touch when it comes to modern phrases, etiquette, objects, etc (understandably and inevitably– not the fault of his personality or temperament).

yeah, he absolutely has trust issues and doesn’t get close to people easily on a genuine level, and he can be cold, spiteful, and brutally honest at times (pretty much always intentionally– compare to niko, who’s blunt and sometimes causes insult without realizing it), but by default, he’s quite a charismatic, well-spoken guy with a proclivity for performance. people just tend to ignore, forget, or disregard that because the flustered skittish person he becomes when he’s faced with something out of his comfort zone or realm of understanding is quirkier and easier to fit into a common pathetic gayboy archetype.

So what’t the deal with all that Eurovision nonsense and why are Finns so salty about it this year?

Eurovision (ESC, Eurovision Song Contest) is an annual song contest organized by the European Broadcasting Union, an alliance of national broadcasting companies such as BBC, or Yle here in Finland. Sort of like Eurocup but for songs.

(Europe is a fairly broad concept here tho, with countries like Israel and Australia taking part.)

(Please don’t ask about Australia)

Anyway, each country taking part picks an original (meaning it has to be made for the contest) song in any way they see fit, and sends in a representative to perform it. Some countries (UK, Spain, Italy, Germany, and France) get a guaranteed spot in the grand final, but the rest of us peasants have to go through semi-finals to get in.

In the semi-finals, audience gets to pick the entries moving on to the grand final, but in the grand final the winner is chosen by the public votes and by national professional juries, 50/50%.

(I think there used to be juries in the semi-finals too, but this year it was just public votes)

(You can’t vote for your own country, and you can only vote in the semi-final your country is in)

This has always been a contended point, ever since the juries were introduced in 2007 or so, because the public votes and jury votes very often go to very different acts.

Now, why are Finns so salty this year?

It’s pretty much because of the voting system - our entry won the public vote but not the jury vote, and ended up in second place, losing Sweden.

In salty summary:

Finland won the public vote but lost to juries

We lost to Sweden of all countries

Which is extra bad, because

”Losing is fine as long as we beat Sweden”

We never beat Sweden in Eurovision

No seriously, Sweden has won the whole thing like seven times

Their representative this year alone has won it twice!!!

Finland has won once

And our next best placement before this year was like seventh place

And we came so close this year

So close!!!

We would’ve gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for those meddling professional juries

So yeah.

Finland is basically in mourning. Well get over it eventually.

(Or not)

(Probably not)
