Being a multishipper is like sitting at a restaurant and seeing a fight outside where people are arguing what food is better

My sad soggy dog of an ex

and here is my agenda

[ultimate-marysue]

Setting the stage. Duke is trying to create a distraction to cover for Damian sneaking more animals in the mansion.

Duke: so B, I know it's amoral to have a favorite child but, who's your favorite in law?

Bruce: oh no..

Dick, vibrating with the force of sun: It's gotta be Babs. She literally invented the Batgirl mantle! She's arguably the most useful of all of us as Oracle. We wouldn't be half as effective without her. Plus, she's the daughter of your pal Commissioner G!

Cass, not willing to lose, especially to Dick: Uh-uh! Steph is Robin and Batgirl. He wants her to be Family, he always says!

Jason: yeah, my boyfriend is an ex-addict, teenage dad that kills people and loves to explode things, I'm sitting this one out. Have fun.

Tim, thoughtful and ignoring Jason: hang on, he can't technically have them as favorite in-laws because they're part of the family. In that case, Bernard should win. He's smart, from Gotham and hasn't done anything bad ever.

Damian, still covered in feathers: that's debatable Drake, your boyfriend was in a cult. Plus Ortiz at least knows how to defuse bombs!

Duke, remembering his girlfriend was accused of being part of the Latin kings (and was part of We Are Robin): yeah, well, she's lovely but we don't need to get lost in the details

*chaos, screaming amongst the kids. Cass bites someone*

Bruce, staring at the camera: it's Roy. Lian is my first granddaughter and the others need to really get their act together if they want to keep up. Steph is a close second but she didn't keep the baby. Nice try, but no granddaughter.

Dick: I know my 5 year old son doesn’t know I’m Nightwing or any of our aliases, still kinda annoys me that he chose Green Arrow as his favorite superhero. The kid is such an obsessive fan.

Bruce: now you know how I felt. What made it worse was you KNEW I was Batman

Dick: I wasn’t THAT obsessed with Superman

Bruce: you were a pretty big fan

Dick: my son has a Green arrow bed set

Bruce: you had many Superman clothing items

Dick: He likes to run around the house pretending to be Green Arrow

Bruce: you and Clark had inside jokes and made me feel like a 3rd wheel in my own home

Dick: so this is payback

Bruce: and I’m loving every minute of it

[incorrectbatfam]

Dick: *gets down on one knee*

Barbara: It’s finally happening!

Dick: *ties his shoes*

Barbara, tearing up: He finally stopped wearing fucking Velcro sneakers.

As many issues I have with current portrayal of dickbabs I think it’s vital not to ignore how revolutionary they were originally. In media disabled women, particularly women who use wheelchairs, are so often desexualised and sidelined from a romantic perspective. So having a cool, confident, wheelchair using woman going on a date with THE heartthrob of the DC universe, and having HER reject him for the while because whilst she likes him she has her own shit to deal with is fundamentally groundbreaking. Presenting Oracle Babs as a desirable, attractive, witty, and highly competent woman is revolutionary in a media landscape where disabled characters are often excluded from being the love interest, and if included constantly being relegated to pining over the able bodied leads. That characterisation and context is a groundbreaking creative decision, whether you like the ship or not

The press sends out a video of Timothy Jackson Drake taking off a hoodie, revealing an ring strung on a chain resting on the shirt underneath

Gotham goes crazy-

Tam is brought back into picture- Stephanie never left

People get wind of Bernard- and one very obsessed fan is insistent on something fruity between Tim and the son of the only reporters Bruce seems to like

The superhero x civilian crack ships are brought up, but this time it’s serious- Robin, Superboy, but also the rest of Young Justice for those wishing for a rare pair

The Wayne’s have remained silent all the while

That’s because they know this supposed wedding ring is actually a lantern ring that Tim has to keep Bruce on his toes- knowing fully well that Tim will join the Lantern Corps out of spite if pushed

This isn’t the first time it’s happened though,

Dick Grayson - who has been speculated to have relationships with three different red-heads- revealing a red ring all of a sudden nearly broke the internet

she hasn’t left the computer in four days

Another old one about Dickbabs

[trexiejan]

Friendly reminder that DC and Dickbabs writers are gaslighting you into thinking Dickbabs are childhood sweethearts that are always in love with each other since day 1.

Dickbabs is the most superficial manufactured by retcons ship.

Babs was deaged for this crap to work.

Here is Original Barbara Gordon working as a congresswoman in the Senate when Dick was just the little kid Robin.

She was much closer to Bruce and Clark's age than Dick's.

Barbara refers to Dick as a "kid" and "little brother.

Dick had a small puppy crush on her but it was seen as a precocious crush. It was controversial when they first kiss (to make Dick shut up) because it involved a grown ass woman kissing a teenager.

Dickbabs was hated the same way modern Brucebabs is hated today.

Even the writer of that book admitted he never intended for them to become a couple.

Babs was more into older guys.

- she was viewed as an equal love interest to Batman

- she went out on a date with Superman

- then got engaged to her coworker Jason Bard.

Dickbabs shippers always try to deny that Babs was deaged and her history was altered for dickbabs in an effort to defend their ship.

They say it's not true because according to them Babs has been deaged long before dickbabs became a couple.

Here's the thing though:

Babs has been deaged twice.

Just because she wasn't deaged to be with Dick in her 1st deaging doesn't change the fact that she was deaged to be the same age as him in her 2nd deaging which happened in dickbabs content.

The 1st time she was deaged was in Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was so Jim could be younger but they only decreased her age slightly because she's still written as older than Dick, here is a panel from Secret Origins #20 that was published in 1986 exactly 1 year after she was first deaged in Crisis on infinite earths (1985) she said Dick is too young for her and that batman is always the one on her mind. So Dickbabs during this time still couldn't work because they still have that age gap and Babs was still into Bruce.

The 2nd time she was deaged is in dickbabs comics and tv shows where she was finally made the same age as Dick so dickbabs can finally work as a romantic pairing.

Instead of being older, she's now written as a part of Dick's generation.

From a congresswoman to a young girl who went to highschool prom with Dick.

Even Tom Taylor had the two first meet when they were young little kids so he can also portray them as childhood sweethearts in his run.

Tom Taylor claims Barbara still has a law degree but isn't it sad how instead of using that degree to find an actual job, she wasted her time following Dick around like a dog in Bludhaven ?

She has no job of her own, no friends of her own, no hobbies of her own outside of Dick.

She's just Dick's clingy lovesick girlfriend who is a total standby for him in his solo books.

Dickbabs shippers who deny this and get mad at people who point this out are the people who don't care about Barbara Gordon as an individual.

They don't care that Barbara lost her PHD degree, lost her own career, lost her own agency, lost her history, lost her self identity for the sake of shipping.

Their only concern is defending dickbabs and making it look better.

Because if they truly like Barbara separately from Dick, all these valid anti-dickbabs criticisms wouldn't bother them.

What's even funnier is that they are the very same people who accuse Starfire of being reduced into Dick's love interest despite the fact that Starfire hasn't been in a relationship with Dick in the comics for 20+ years due to the fact that dickkory's history was ignored and erased in favor of dickbabs. NASTY HYPOCRITES.

At least Starfire wasn't deaged to fit Dick and you can never see Starfire following Dick around like a dog in his solo books 💀

Dick Grayson has the coolest boyfriends and girlfriends in DC

[shyjusticewarrior]

Tim: You've heard of alphabet soup, now get ready for... times new ramen.

Dick: I sent this to Babs and she got so mad at me she sent me an audio recording of her yelling.

[devotedtomyfandoms]

Every time I think about how public the Waynes are. I get the urge to make a Tabloid front-page.

Today. I gave into those urges. So, here it is!

[gffa]

Babs' reaction to the absolute batshittery of comics is just like me fr. She would totally do numbers on Tumblr.

[incorrectbatfam]

Barbara: I know we are just friends, but I see us as something... more.

Dick: Oh, I'm so glad you brought that up.

Dick: Sometimes I imagine us as dinosaurs. I thought I was the only one.
