[Dick gives a half smile and a little wave to the camera. To those who know him well, he looks a little flustered. But this has been a weird week]

Hey, everyone. Dick Grayson, here, I'm a new guy. And I've got a question. Is there any way to practice or tamp down a power that’s… kind of passive?

[There’s a light growling sound, Dick turns and raises a hand.]

Just a minute! [He looks back at the camera.] This is just getting a little--

[Before he can finish his sentence, there’s another growl and a blur of sandy colored fur tackles Dick. A very large blur of sandy colored fur. It is, in fact, a lion. But he’s not trying to hurt Dick. He’s just licking his face and looking very happy with himself. Dick laughs and rubs the lion’s face, then looks upside-down at the camera.]

This is the second time Chewie’s escaped from the zoo and followed me home. I’m pretty sure the neighbors are gonna start complaining soon. So, any thoughts?

[Sorry residents of Nonah #004, this is happening in your living room.]

I really don't like body snatchers.

I try not to judge based on powers. Like I said, I've know some pretty cool demons.

No. Fuck body snatchers.

[ He's 100% serious. ]

Demons, I don't care.

There was a body-jumper on the Titans, but he was before my time. Not his fault that's what he got stuck with.

[Although Bart isn't too keen on the fact that he isn't sure whether it was Jericho or Deathstroke who made the decision to shoot his knee out.]

But tradition says once a Titan, always a Titan, so...

I don't care if it's their power. They have the option of not using it. Live like a normal person.

So if I had a problem with you being a shapeshifter because it erodes the humanity of the user, would you stop using it? Like a normal person.

[adultwonder]

Hey. Enough of this. Yes, people can't help what power they get, and it's not their fault if it's a sucky one. But it's also reasonable to want to hold on to your autonomy and have a really reasonable mistrust of people who can take that away. Unless one of you is a bodysnatcher, that doesn't seem to be something you've got to negotiate right this minute, does it?

In what way does it erode my humanity?

My problem is taking control from someone else, or enslaving them. See, here I thought 'slavery is bad' is a pretty universal position.
