This is the kind of content we need!!! Also Virgil teasing Richie but also
being his wingman?? Yes!
I KNOW!! HOW COULD THEY GET RID OF ROBERT HAWKINS LIKE THAT??? Virgil's
family and friends are so fundamental to who he is as a person and a
hero--they're a huge part of what made him decide to use his powers for
good instead of wrongdoing or personal gain like literally every other bang
baby in the show. Sounds suspiciously like racism to get rid of the strong
black father figure but okay, Young Justice!
On a related note, I've been on the lookout for good Static Shock fan
content. Most of what I've found is disappointing so far, i.e. clearly
written by white authors who don't know how to write a black character (why
does 80% of the fanfiction describe Virgil as "mocha?" why???). If you want
I can send the good ones I find your way :)
