Your prompt: Damian doesn’t like talking on the phone, but Nika always calls them instead of texting. Nika admits that it’s because they want to hear Damian’s voice.
To be honest, I want to see Damian in a normal relationship, like a domestic relationship, just casual and normal.
Because I think some shippers are just getting too crazy too fast.
I haven’t seen really normal interactions between the most popular Damian’s shipps.
It’s always heroes and fighting together or literally on a death tournament. I wanted Damian to share his tastes, his hobbies, his pets and things he likes, not only fighting against some villian.
Even the girl could be a hero too, like, wouldn’t be awesome if we just saw him having dates and getting fun with the girl/boy he likes? Just having typical couple problems and just solving them with love and being healthy over it.
Currently, we have this girl Nika, but we just even know her name at the end of the arc and that she kinda betrayed him.
Like we haven’t even see them as a real couple, just some couple of hints through the run but the shippers are already crazy over it.
Are they gonna be healthy? Having more traits between them? Grow together? Any personal dynamic that characterizate them?
We don’t know anything about the dynamic of their relationship more than the death tournament.
I am saying that we should wait more to actually qualified if their relationship are gonna be something good or just something that got forgotten for the next writter.
And don’t make me talked about his other popular shipps.
With Raven sacrifices Raven’s characterization for a relationship, they aged her down in the animated films and just feel like her and Damian are kinda dependent of each other.
I have to admit that they looked cute and have certain chemistry, but I can’t stop thinking that in the comics, Damian is 13-14 year old boy and Raven is already an adult.
It makes me feel so disgusted.
Djiin is even worst with that too.
This is the first Damian X Flatline criticism that didn’t make me feel all icky inside. I like how rather than just bashing on the characters you’re critiquing the writing and want to see more chemistry added to the relationship even if you didn’t want it as a relationship to begin with.
I definitely agree DC needs to step it up when it comes to writing relationships. Obviously fans can spin their ships out of air and that’s what’s fun about a fandom but if the writer intends to write them in a relationship dynamic they need to add more to it.
This analysis is the exact opposite of the borderline cyberbullying I see on twitter. Both from shippers and anti shippers. I’d also love to hear more about your thoughts Dijin. Like obviously the age gap was a problem but I feel like there were other things to critique. I’d reread it to give my own p.o.v. but the teen titans run is too traumatizing for me to reread.
Why is twitter full of scary people? Are they coming here? I don’t think I can handle that level of stress
Oh god no, I literally stop using twitter because it harmed my mental health. There’s a lot of sick people there.
freakin’ terrifying. all the shippers and anti shippers there are plain jerks. The most that happened here was when Arabian batboy bashed flatline when we found out DC wants damian straight
Shippers are terryfing, especially Damian’s shippers.
Like stop it, he is a child, I wish he was ace? Yes, but I wouldn’t be hateful towards the shipps either.
I don’t like Nika as his gf but I am not hateful against her, that’s unecessary.
But yeah, at least in tumblr is less toxic than twitter.
Right?! Like he can still date and be ace that’s a thing but some fans treat it like a 0 to 100.
Also kudos to not liking the ship and just enjoying them platonically <3
