New Teen Titans studies

Tumblr gets a wip before anyone else,,

(also they’re triplets cus the idea is since Tamaraneans are of feline descent they more likely to have twins or triplets (or quadruplets even) as a hold over from having litters once upon a time 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️)

"Dick only saw Kory as a sex object"

If that's seeing her as a sex object, imagine if he truly loved her:

Got inspired by some of those old murder mystery book covers

Truly funny how the only way dickbabs shippers could ever “win” is by having the bat writers trying to remove and retcon how much Dick loved Kory, and even then the ship is still garbage compared with dickkory. Such a hollow and embarassing “win” lol.

Trying hard to be objective here. While i dislike DickBabs with all my being, i must disagree that they're garbage. They're far from it. I truly believe they could still be a good ship without shaming and retconning characters left and right. The keyword here being could. Dick and Babs themselves aren't safe from the retcons either, lol.

I've read DickBabs' famous runs. Nightwing 1996, BoP 1999 (i love this BoP era btw), Nightwing/Oracle Convergence, Taylor's NW run, etc. They have cute banters, supportive relationship, deep connections with each other, and love that transcended disability. Those are good qualities to have in a ship, no? but it's just not enough for them. Writers just had to retcon Dick and Kory's romantic past (and other characters too, but that's for another post). What got me pissed off too was how they had to put down other women (Kory, Helena, Shawn Tsang, and Bea) to uplift DickBabs. Even their so called best writers like Simone, Dixon, and Taylor had to bring up (and down) Kory to make their ship look good. Do debate me on this, but has there ever any occurence where DickKory in their relationship had to put down beloved characters in order to make their love work? 😭

Even Batman himself wasn't safe from the retcon, too. Remember the infamous alien xenophobic remark he made for Kory? When that very man genuinely supported Dick's relationship with her in NTT run? Or that he has a best friend called SUPERMAN?? Y'know, the friendship dynamic that has been one of the biggest parts of DC since the dawn of time? Yeah the story got retconned and the entire thing is no longer canon, but hey i'm not surprised, it's always about retcons with DickBabs.

Their shippers like to debate that writers change and characters change with the flow of time. Retcons are normal within the comic medium, yes. But, there are good retcons and bad retcons.

They ALWAYS like to reference PeterGwen and PeterMJ in their defense. Since y'know, Gwen was retconned, she was never supposed to die and MJ was never meant to be Peter's love interest originally, cmiiw. But here's the thing, despite originally not planned to be together, PeterMJ is widely beloved by the global population because their story and relationship work naturally and are written better. Comic readers and general public LOVE THEM. Yes there are retcons for PeterMJ, but PeterMJ and DickBabs are never and will never be apple to apple in this discussion. Their impacts are not the same and will never be 😭

Don't even get me going with their recurring themes of Dick's "it's you, it was always you" and "all the best parts of my life, you were there". Those tropes aree soooo disrespectful towards his past with Kory. As if during his time with Kory, he loved Barbara more than his time with her. Newsflash, Kory and Dick had significant impacts towards each other. Do they forget that Kory was one of the reasons why Nightwing even exist? Do they forget how he helped Kory navigate het life on earth, or how when Kory helped Dick to avoid being Batman 2.0 in his development? (No hate towards Bruce and Babs, i love them, i truly do)

Dick and Babs only work when they grew from their trauma and past in Nightwing and Oracle mantle. The whole Robin Batgirl childhood mutual crush is harmful towards their respective characters AND other characters. They're the best as Nightwing and Oracle. Never before that time.

If i have to be honest, i would ship DickBabs had only their mutual romance was developed prior to DickKory. I think it's a good ship with revolutionary tropes in disabled character. But sadly, their rival ship is DickKory—a globally beloved couple originating from a comic book run that was SO popular and iconic, that it rivaled X-Men back in the day and saved DC from bankruptcy ❤️

This is just my personal take. I understand that people can interpret comic books, especially ones that have existed for decades very differently. People are very welcome to correct me if i wrote any misconceptions or mistakes in my post. I'm always open to discussion 🥰

Posting a wip bc I’m feeling so normal abt them so it’s basically just a lyric video ajsgsfs but pls consider the indigo girls + dickkory

I’m sorry if the layered vocals hurts ur brain but it makes so much sense to me

“Juliet, the dice were loaded from the start, and I bet, and you exploded into my heart” / “oh, Juliet, when we made love you used to cry, you said “I love you like the starts above, I’m gonna love you til I die” / “I can’t do anything except be in love with you” / “Now all I do is miss you, and the way it used to be” / “one day we’re gonna realize, it was just that the time was wrong”

In your cat!Bruce AU, would cat!Bruce get along with Starfire due to her being a descendant of cats? Or, would they have to be kept apart because they would get into catfights for Dick's attention?

Tamaranians are cats??!! Idk, I think they get along. It's nice that Dickie has such a powerful protector <3 dick doesn't even have CLAWS. That's insane.

Robin and Starfire

I just know the moment these two enter the official superhero meetings every single person gives them the BOMBASTIC SIDE EYE and goes "you literally came here together, you fight bad guys together and you're gonna go home together, can you NOT hold hands for even 5 seconds what is this 😭" whereas Dick and Kory simply respond with "no we cannot ☺️🥰👩‍❤️‍💋‍👨"

Whenever this scene appears to me, I always find myself thinking about Damian's relationship with Dick and Kory.

In my headcanon, Damian is that typical brother who accompanies you on every possible trip. Whenever Dick goes on a trip with Kory, he always calls his little brother.

Damian won't admit it, but he loves traveling with the two of them, and develops a huge affection for the couple. Kory even jokes that he is her adopted son.
