	Thank you! That was pretty much what I was thinking but I wanted to make sure about the difference between giver!Dick and giver!Dinah for Babs. Okay, really I totally wanted you to talk about how Barbara and relationships and sex because there's just so many issues there. I do think she and Dinah would make a cool couple.

Yeah, I think in short form it would be "Dick wants to please, Dinah wants to care for" - which is why, in the end, I think Dinah is healthier for Babs, because Babs is not, herself, completely right about what she needs or deserves (or how she should be allowed to treat her lover), and to Dinah, love means challenging that, while to Dick, love means going along with it. (I could write so many essays on Babs and her weirdnesses and her relationships. People think I'm overinvested in Diana, man, they don't even know.)

Poor Dick indeed. I ship Donna/Kory (and can't stand Dick/Kory anyway, though as a result of fandom politics rather than the characters, which is admittedly unfair but still no less true), and I'm not into Batcest, so I really do have the poor guy sort of adrift out there. I should look into this Dick/Roy thing or something, maybe. ^.^

I would totally read anything you wrote about Babs and her weirdness and relationships because the woman is just...it was a total accident but they created a really explosive character there on the inside. I think what fascinates me about Dick/Babs is that on the surface is seems sweet (Batgirl and Robin! He had a crush on her forever!) but really from every angle it gets into scary issues on both their parts--with hers being aggressive and him just being that much more determined to please and take it. Even their little flirty exchanges have a total undercurrent for me now.

Yeah, definitely Dinah.
