Batgirl, Work Your Creepy Magic

timmy boy you have excellent music taste

impeccable

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 tries so hard to be cool

oh my GOD tim trying to act like he isn't a virgin. nice.

aaaand him being a wet blanket. act your age, you child

is tim a superman fan boy or did he know kon at this point? the color of the shirt suggests superman fan boy, but i can dream!

fine zinc teeth--I have to ask.

ohoho! its pretty much finished, i just havent been confident enough to edit and post.

its where tim comes home late and mildly injured(aka SHOT), and it follows jason and dick trying to keep tim alive and well. bruce grounds tim, so dick sneaks tim out of the house to help jason move into his own apartment.

AWW HES PROUD. LOOK AT BATMAM BEING A GOOD FATHER-FIGURE. take notes, jack drake. naybe talk to your son every once in a while

you see, i say all of this, but then bruce abandons tim for months at a time out of guilt. man, i have a problem

i love steph a lot

I have received much dopamine from you this day, thank u 🥰

oh!! :) i'm so glad!!

BRUCE OH MY GOD HE WAS SLEEPING LIKE A BABY WHY DID YOU WAKE HIM UP??

i try not to be that much of a vulgar person (my friends would laugh if they saw me try and claim that) but when people scare me awake, i swear to god i can't help it.

i relate to tim's 'jeeze' a lot.

also, tim admitting he got scared? this will probably be the last time i see that sort if vulnerability :<

what a shame. still, bruce! he was sleeeeping!

i really appreciate how well the complexities of tim drake are portrayed here

it's an unhealthy relationship, especially for a young teen, but it isnt so black and white. it has a lot of depth, especially if youre me and like to pretend the writers intended all sorts of little intricacies i see lol

also, the potential of this being written is phenomenal. it's times like these were i wish i was in a discord group or something
