    lol @ newbie DC fans qqing about Grayson #13. 

    The scene was totally in-line with the tone of the book and served its purpose decently. Dick has endured far, far worst in the past (did everyone just forget about how he was R A P E D by Tarantula in the old universe?) and the fact that people are flipping shit is wildly amusing. 

    All in all, I think that Seeley, King, and Janin have done an amazing job with the series and that this is one of the best characterizations that we’ve gotten of Dick in a very long time (the last one probably being Snyder’s The Black Mirror). In the long run I think that Dick’s characterization in Grayson will hold its own against some of the other great portrayals like BTAS and Dixon’s work.

    I had no feeling of identity with the United States, and yet I resented the ignorant and snobbish criticism of Americans that was current at that time…most of them seemed to have a lot of bounce and liveliness and to be thoroughly enjoying themselves where the average Englishman of the same class would be stuffy or completely bored.

    Greatest part about this is that it was 1913-1915ish, so these were silent movies.

    I think I’m trouble-adjacent. I remember hearing once that good girls don’t get caught. I think that’s sort of a lot of what my teen years were like. I skirted the stuff that other kids were doing because the idea of actually getting in trouble was not appealing to me, but I still wanted to have adventures.

    I do not, and I hope I never shall, admit that sex is a thing to be treated as if it were of no great consequence. You can make all sorts of jokes about it, mostly lewd (I’ve made them myself) but at the bottom of his heart every decent man feels that his approach to the woman he loves is an approach to a shrine.
