Your Heart Is The Only Place I Call Home

I'm redoing my tags on for what fucking better be the last time regarding anything relating to dc comics. I wanted to add character specific tags for Damian (#the boy king), Jason Todd (#would you kill without mercy and if you wouldn't then how precious is your love?), and Dick (#the last flying grayson).

And here's how my thoughts went:

You know, if Dick had a kid, he wouldn't be the last flying grayson anymore.

And then I thought, 'no way, he's never going to have a kid.' (I realize that Dick has a kid in an alternate dimension, my gut reaction was still, 'no kid.') (Partially because Barbara is paralyzed, and there are increased risks with a pregnancy, although it's by no means impossible.)

And then I started thinking about non-biological families (my jam) and went, 'would Damian count as Dick's son?' (I haven't read enough of their comics to answer that question.)

And then I thought about Dick being the best uncle/big brother ever and how he's probably going to die in a couple issues, and I guess my question is:

do you think within 5-10 years there is going to be a hostile takeover of DC comics by its fans?

Yes and I would love to be a part of this.

Sometimes I think I am reading comics backwards and that DC annoys me because I am just Doing It Wrong. Then I go to the comic store and overhear the girl who works there say things like "DC is really shooting itself in the foot right now," and I feel reassured.

I think Dick definitely did a lot to raise Damian but I don't exactly think of it as a father role? Kind of like Lilo and her sister in Lilo & Stich. (Actually I think I read fic about that once....)
