TIM VS KITCHEN

who will win??

here's a hint: not tim.

bruce certainly isn’t perfect, but he isn’t terrible either. i think one of the fandom’s difficulties in writing bruce is that he isn’t just good dad or bad dad.

now, im not saying i write him perfectly, but i really do try and get the layers of his relationships down. 

it’s so obvious that bruce cares a whole bunch. he loves his kids (i just sort of ignore the bad-bruce-characterization in some comics lol). the small interactions and chats of batman and robin get these across wonderfully. it’s a shame that some comics completely reduce these soft moments through poor writing. 

i got into dc through fanfiction, but the more comics i read, the more i just fall in love with the fandom. the way tim acts older than he is- the way he tries, but there’s always something deeper simmering within- it’s so incredibly. 

also, the whole contagion story line? is that just completely unexplored by the fanfiction community? because ohh-my-god it has amazing potential and i’ve never seen anything work with it other than half-heartedly addressing it. 

so yeah, im writing a little oneshot for it lol

tim got feverish stress dreams about failing bruce, EVERYONE WRITE THAT DOWN.

i dont know if anyone finds jack drake as interesting as i do, but his relationship with tim really draws me in.

even without tim as robin, there is still something drawing them apart, like a mutual misunderstanding between the two. jack acts boarderline selfish in his raising of tim, but he's also grieving in the same way bruce and tim are.

instead of solving the root of the problem (even if tim would have nearly never caved), he sends his son away to cause trouble out of jack's sight. obviously, the writers had to do this for the sake of the story, but its still very sad.

people who blindly hate jack drake either see him hitting too close to home or haven't truly read him enough, and that makes me a little sad.

luckily theyre just comic books lmao

New Timbits chapter out! Chapter 7! 

“Tim and his father have a bit of a spat, but it's fine, because his dad didn't mean to. Right?“
