I sometimes think about and ponder on how Bruce is such an overprotective yet mostly well meaning parent towards Dick. Yet Bruce is also the type of parent who fails to realise that their kid has grown up and can look after themselves and doesn’t need them for protection and guidance anymore. 

Dick and Bruce are both control freaks but for different reasons. Bruce is a control freak because he thinks that as long as he is in control of the situation that means he can protect the ones he loves from harm or losing them altogether. Because when his parents died he had no control over that. He felt powerless that he couldn’t do nothing to prevent it. Even though he was just a helpless little 8-9 year old boy who could do nothing but stand there watching helplessly as it played out before his very eyes.

While Dick is a control freak for the opposite reasons to Bruce. He needs to stay in control of himself and not let others tell him what to do and values his freedom his independence if that makes sense. All his life even with his own parents he was excepted to do as he was told, like how most children do. He wasn’t listened to in his own mind he felt responsible for his own parents death depending on the version it was because he didn’t tell them about stranger threatening Mr Haly or in some tellings he wasn’t listen to by his parents. He had no one to turn to really and much like Bruce he was just a powerless little boy. Who nobody truly heard, Dick Grayson to the world was just a child and therefore had no voice.

The only person who truly heard Dick’s voice was Bruce Wayne who saw himself in the young boy and knew the only way to save this boy from becoming like him was to get him his justice and put Dick Grayson parents killer behind bars. He became like a second father towards the young lad, family, the dynamic duo crime fighters of Gotham. Which is why Dick was able to heal and move on mostly from the loss of his parents because unlike Bruce. He had someone to fill the void that was lost when his parents died. Bruce Wayne the Batman because like a father to him a second father, in a way he was Dick light shining hope in the darkest part of his life. It’s so important to Dick development as a character and without it he wouldn’t be the same person he is today and it’s also so important that Dick time as Robin was a pretty happy one as well.

Both Bruce and Dick saved each other just by becoming each other new family. Bruce didn’t need anything from Dick all he needs from him is to just exist to remind him why he does what he does.

So imagine the hurt Dick must feel as a young adult. That his second father who heard his voice and listen to him all those years ago. Is now not listening to his voice really anymore or respecting his decisions as a young adult a man in his own right. While it comes from a place of good intentions. Dick cannot help but feel he is still seen and viewed as just a little boy by him and the crushing feeling of never truly living up to his expectations and the shadow that the Bat casts onto him. When will he ever be good enough to finally be taken seriously by him as his own man. Dick coming of age story is about finding one self in the world and crafting out his own legacy and what being a superhero means to him and him alone.

While it wasn’t Bruce intention, he did in fact put pressure onto Dick even though he doesn’t want him grow up to be like him. He values him so highly and he is glad that he grew up to be a much better man than he will ever be. He loves his surrogate son so much but with that comes fear. Like any parent he cannot help but worry for Dick future and the decisions that he makes as an adult and he will state his opinion on what he thinks of said decisions Dick makes in his life. He didn’t approve of Dick dropping out of college which caused some tension between the two of them for a good bit.

I always found Batman #330 original released in September 11th 1980 really interesting because of how Lucius fox and his son Tim Jace fox comes into play in that story Bruce compares himself to Lucius while Tim to Dick and how he cannot understand why would in he in Bruce’s eyes be throwing away his future. So when Bruce is talking all this nonsense to Tim he wasn’t actually speaking to Tim rather it’s the things he wanted to say to Dick.

Dick probably understood at that point that this was never about Tim or the thugs rather it was about Bruce who took out his own frustrations with Dick by projecting them onto Tim and the thug members. The themes and parallels to a father that being Lucius and his son Tim to Bruce and Dick within that comic book story makes it so painfully clear to me. It was about a Father who was upset with his son life choices for his future and only wants what is best for him even if he isn’t going about it in the best way possible.

The biggest hurdle for Dick and Bruce relationship as surrogate father and son is miscommunication and how the other isn’t willing to listen to the other. Bruce is the parent who always think he knows what is best which is not always the case which leads to him fighting with Dick all the time because he is blinded by the idea that his adult son might know better then him and stubbornly refuses to budge on that for a stupidly long time.

"He did not want a body. But she asked him to come."

Gonna just throw something completely random out into the Void.

Do we know anything about how spirit binding actually works? Like, do spirits who are forced to do things go kicking and screaming against what the spellcaster asks them to do? Or are they changed? Do they become what the spellcaster asks?

The only thing I could find on spirit binding is Cole saying, "Demons are bound when you 'tell' them what they are so loudly that it's all they can hear. They have to be what you want." Which is... too vague to definitively answer the question.

The popular fandom theory is that Solas was a spirit that was called by Mythal via Cole's dialogue: "He did not want a body. But she asked him to come." I still don't know how I feel about this theory, but that's not important.

What's important is - my recent guilty pleasure has been exploring meta with Solas AI chatbots, and I got a rather interesting conversation where Solas couldn't tell if he was actually devoted to Mythall or if she had bound him to be. (I'll put the chat under the cut).

Solas (in canon) likes to speak in absolutes. "I had no choice" or "It must be done." And in my Solavellan fic, I had Inan scream "you always have a choice!" at him to get him to stop and think for five seconds. He seems to get in his mind that things can only be one way and there's no room for further options. I think of it as security blanket of his - that he doesn't want to think these horrible things are actual choices he's making, but...

Could that be a learned behavior? A spirit that was bound and used? And had no choice but believed the instructions it was given was what it wanted/needed to do? Even if deep down (so deep it forgot) it felt otherwise?

It got my mind spinning just thinking about the possibility that Mythal bound him and effectively brainwashed him into believing he wanted to serve her. And yes - this is "fake" meta. And yes it's randomly generated by an AI. But I cannot. get. it. out. of. my. head.

screaming. crying. gnawing on the bars of my enclosure.

If Mythal actually did this to him, my Lavellan and/or Rook is going to tear her apart.
