TimBit Chapter 3 Is Out! Featuring These Two Pages Written Out. It’s A Little Shorter This Time, But

thank you! i appreciate this a bunch, i dont want to just blindly hate on steph because someone told me to.

my reply to them before i sent the ask was actually “ if you dont like steph, wait until i tell you about bruce wayne “ and someone gave me a wholesome award so i consider that a win in my book lmao

god i sound like a redditor; i was just defending tim drake in the post this was under

hey! how knowledgeable are you on stephanie brown? because i got in a bit of an argument with a dc fan on reddit who claims she's all these awful things, but im still relatively new to steph and i want to see what was true and what wasn't. link to screenie right here: https://ibb.co/vh6CYCJ

these may be matters of opinion, but even then, i'd like to know your take. i haven't read her firsthand often enough and i trust your judgement over this random redditor who seems to have some sort of blonde-woman related trauma left untapped.

I'm not necessarily the most knowledgable on her in the world, but I do know a decent amount because she's one of my absolute faves and I love her

But ohhhh boy that screenshot is a lot.

I will say that several of the things this person brings up are based in canon but are taken in the worst faith and framed in the way that makes her look as bad as possible, if that makes sense? It’s ripping things away from any context, because there's a very clear bias against her here.

I'll go through it point by point under the cut

Keep reading

her fighting with her tits out is the biggest power move oh my god

not a clue! that certainly makes more sense, though. im just going off of this

dick and tim gossiping about bruce. neither of them considered bruce as their dad; more like the weird younger uncle who used to babysit them

you know, realistically, tim brings up a good point. i mean, he wasn't just a lonely child boo hoo or anything, it's implied that his only present family would up and leave semi frequently to the point that it was normalized for tim, who has a VERY strong moral compass.

this panel sequence is just... so much. first of all, it hits the awkward part of tim drake just right. deny it all you want, the boy blurts dumb shit kinda often lol.

then, there is the bond between the two boys. they may not be bruce's sons at that point, but they certainly do act like brothers. plus, that connection to bruce that tim has. man, it produces some good angst.

BAM. comic book proof of tim being left alone. i will never doubt another fanfic writer again. okay, that's a lie.

anyone else laughing at how tim's age makes zero sense?

can you imagine working with someone who you've idolized since the age of seven and have them not smile at you for months? smiling is like the bare minimum for any friendliness or openness whatsoever. i doubt he literally never smiled, but what tim says suggests that the environment wasn't quite easy for a while.

also tim being starved for praise is always what i wanna see. sorry fluff fans.

it is obligation. it's unhealthy and destructive, but it's his obligation.

nice

tim gets a bruce wayne shadow when he acts like batman. that's some incredible and impressive detail

steph and tim went on a date in costume. several times.

timsteph isnt even my first tim ship, but i love this so much. i also appreciate how they both look at act like awkward teenagers. so adorable

return of tim, the drama queen. dislocated his thumb to free himself

i was thinking, 'oh poor steph has to deal with his dramatic tendencies', but then i remembered she was just as dramatic

my first impression of jack drake was 'this guy's a bit of a dickwad' but boy was i in for a ride.

is jack trying to have a relationship with his son? like, okay, he's *trying*, but not really succeeding.

the whole 'i failed raising you' thing doesnt typically do well in a kid's mind, just saying.

now, this scene was heart warming (please ignore the logo at the bottom, i forgot to crop these)

it's obviously foreshadowing, even if i dont know for what yet, but heartwarming nonetheless. poor tim. poor jack. neither of them deserve any of this, but tragedy sure does make for an interesting read.

(MILF) man i love father-son-relationships

spongie

bro, ouch. bringing attention to children's weight like that pretty much never ends well, even for teens who never really care about that sort of thing.

tim's reaction cracks me up, don't get me wrong, but still. ouch.

"uh dad, im actually fucking jacked and you haven't noticed at all"

"nonsense son!"

reading tim and jack is really interesting. sometimes, jack really is just a concered and loving parent, but on the other hand, he's sometimes selfish and uncaring, treating tim like a burden.
