Like yeah he's hope and joy and all the kindness in the world compressed into a 4'9 body. But he's also grit and tenacity, vengeance and fury, calculating and logic-driven. He's the Watson to Bruce's brilliant Sherlock. But he's also a son and a living, breathing reminder that crime will not always win, that little kids can be saved from the violence that is Gotham.

robin dick is so sweet and sincere and happy and serious and controlled and joyful and hopeful and soooo infectiously deserving of everythinggg

#robin #dick grayson #tfw you realise it wasnt dick who saved bruce #it was always the other way around #Bruce gave him a home #love #a mission #and most of all HOPE #hope for a world where kids dont have to watch their parents die #Bruce gave dick hope the moment they put Zucco behind bars #he gave dick a way to fight back #a way to free the need for justice and vengeance in his bones and release it to the world through a shared war on crime #Dick took all of bruce's teaching to heart #more so than bruce himself #which is why Dick grayson is a noble Knight forged through bruce's own making #whilst bruce is a prophet #a poet who chases the ideal of a gotham city free of crime #and like any tortured creative he will chase that impossible ideal until he has forgotton why he is chasing it in the first place #His tragedy was always that he has always and will always be fighting a losing battle #Dick on the other hand is not chasing an dream #he is rooted to firmly in reality to do so #but he will fight and bear any wound if it means one other person does not live in tragedy like he does #with all the heartbreaking loyalty and inspirational courage that comes with his title
