Okay, I realize that Mr. Winick isn't out and out going to say "I'm racist and I suck," but dismissing the people who have serious problems with Ice's new "origin" and characterization as tiny and loud isn't going to make us go away.
So, Mr. Winick? You suck. You can't write Ice worth a damn, you're only slightly better at the rest of them, and "thieving Gypsy" is not some new groundbreaking concept in characterization. I'd say go back to writing the Bats, but a) I love them too much and b) Dick Grayson is canonically of Roma heritage and I don't want you near him ever again after this.
You hear me, published author who will never be anywhere near my journal? You hear me?
...
In happier news, I got to ride again yesterday, and soon we'll be jumping. I love jumping so much, so so much.
Also I rode McGuyver, who is very sweet but noses around my pants for horse treats. Andandand there is a new horse, who is genuinely dappled gray and just flat out GORGEOUS.
