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
“ You aren’t my dad, Tim wanted to say, but that felt wrong- like it was too close to something that neither of them wanted to open up about. “
ahh, very indulgent in the end, but oh well
Could anyone tell me how old at least one of the Batboys (jason, tim, dick, duke, damian) were when Alfred died, or if any of them didn’t exist? I’m blending new and old comics for my writing and I’m having continuity errors.
listen, listen, is it too much to ask for a john constantine fic where his partner treats him all soft and he's confused because he's much a morally gray person, but also into it? IS IT?
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.
iconic mom!kon moment
tim, stop lying to yourself. you are both the protective moms
pssst, hey, you guys want some timkon queer subtext?
tired boy strikes again
they are sharing a moment!
aaand my favorite.
This is monstrous. What she is proposing is a literal crime against humanity.
No exaggeration. No hyperbole. One of the justices of the Supreme Court is proposing that the country should violate human rights en masse.
you and i are the duality of tumblr users. our reactions, our profile pictures, we don't get closer than this.
tim has such a big heart. this sequence was so saddening.
the worst part is that this is just before batman betrays his identity to steph.
i used to blog about comic books, but my latest project has been selling my cute lil stickers!
