It's been done again and again, but I never get tired of the falling motif as a metaphor for Dick!angst. Bruce died and left him alone with a mantle he didn't want, Babs hasn't pulled him back the way she might have when they were closer, and the ugly specter of Jason, (ie, the ultimate rival for Bruce's affection), has been there every step of the way, reminding him of all his inadequacies. They all represent failures, missed opportunities, people he's depended on in the past who are letting him down now, in one way or another.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
