Sorry this is actually one of the most important Tim Drake moments to me!!! All he wants is to make Bruce proud!! He’s 17 and he just wants his dads approval at the end of the day!! He did his best and he deserves parental affection!!!
reminder that bruce was PREPARED to help jason find his birth mother!!! he travelled with him across countries to find her!!! yes bruce had previously prioritised pursuing the joker over jason, but the second he was reunited with him, he made the decision to stick around!!!!
screaming. JASON WAS NOT IN ETHIOPIA ALONE!!!!
Sometimes you just go really little and wish that someone would give you a bubble bath and wash your hair for you and dry you off, and then you could have some warm tea and brush your teeth and go to bed while they sing a lullaby and give you your stuffies to snuggle with. And maybe you get a little kiss on the forehead and get told you're a good pup and everything is OK in the world
one thing I do not see used enough is that
not just in the fact that he wants to be his own man. in the fact that he is actively afraid of becoming like him.
canonically one of his biggest fears is becoming Bruce.
this is such a ripe thing for angst, are you kidding me? I cannot believe people don’t use it more.
especially during his Batman era. he didn’t want the cowl, he actively said no to taking up the mantle at first, but then he felt like he had to.
and then to be good at it? to be good at being Batman? honestly that must’ve made him feel sick.
I need to see Dick be actively hostile about it too. if Jason, for example, in your fic is comparing Dick to Bruce I need to see Dick lash out about it.
because that's what he does when people compare the two! when Dick and Roy were purposely trying to piss the other off, Roy compared Dick to Bruce and Dick lost it.
I would not say that lawn mowers and brush cutters don't have a place in the world, but I would say that if every lawn mower and similar machinery vanished from existence tomorrow, we would suddenly notice a multitude of obvious practical uses for plots of land that were not consciously considered to be "land" at all, but rather just "space" separating two constructed things.
Transatlantic travel is hell, actually. I've been awake for over 20 hours, it's been day for all but four of them, and I've been sitting this whole gods damned time. Also being trans in an airport isn't fun
Saw someone wondering about how the buildings in gotham are chipped from years of the bats grappling everywhere and am now imagining
- the bats swing around all the time but in certain areas they tend to parkour instead of grapple
- after a couple of them have close calls of falling, gothamites realise its bc the buildings are too weak in places to use the hooks safely anymore
- in starts in one neighborhood but quickly spreads throughout gotham; people get into the habit of checking their roofs for chips and cracks and start painting them
- different places do it different ways, some people use bright neon colours, an apartment block keeps a tin of glow-in-the-dark paint in the rooftop garden for anyone to use, one children's shelter fills the chips in with glitter glue
- slowly but surely the gotham skyline becomes a starry night with stars of paint and colour, marking the weakpoints so they can be seen even in the darkest of the city's nights
