TIM VS KITCHEN

tim drake, robin, sleeping in weird places. like he do

they are the brotherest of brothers! dick looks so sour lmao

and kon is a sweet friend :)

everyone, batman & dog.

they really like to show that batman is a dog person. i love it.

personally, im a cat person (this is my boy)

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

YES! YES! I PREDICTED IT! IM A MASTERMIND! the whole 'mature for his age' thing! i had it pinned from the start!!

i probably shouldn't be celebrating, but im so proud of myself right now lmao.

in all honesty, this scene is so heartbreaking. if my dad did this to me, i think id be bitter for a couple of days.

additional tim drake misery for your tastes

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

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

everybody deserves bart. his interactions are hilarious and interesting. it's such a delicate balance, and it's done fabulously

(also, the artists in the second one did a fantastic job at making him still look like an adorable goof, but still a teenager. love it)
