I'm Sorry But I Will Never Ever Use Goon As Slang For A Guy Who Jacks Off A Lot Or Whatever It Apparently

My headcanon is that the robins (Tim, Steph and Damian ) never have Bruce Wayne, always have Batman. Because after Jason Dead he devotes himself to his mission.

I love the angst

reading batgirl (2000) really is a hate bruce wayne speedrun huh. like i want that man dead.

batgirl (2000) #17

babs: hi cass here is a way for us to keep your identity safe so you can have a life outside of crime fighting <3

bruce: idc.

This is my genuine apology to anybody who's ever asked me if I've watched a movie/show they liked because if some girl was like "no, but I've read the book, I don't really watch tv" all the freaking time I'd be annoyed too

tim drake, robin from 1989 until forever

crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read

and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you

like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors

I find it really funny that people take a panel out of any comic to say "see?? X is not like fanon says, actually he is like this". Bestie, the first thing I've learned from DC is that canon's fucked. Not in the sense that it's bad (sometimes it is), but in the sense that is inconsistent at best.

I'm talking about Batfam right now, so the thing is people want to say x or y robin was the chaotic one and... They all are. They all are very polite or absolute menaces. And It's a staple of the genre. Obviously if you read Tim's run as robin or his comics you're gonna get the impression that he is the main character. Just the coolest, most nuanced, goes through every single event ever kind of character. But if you read Dick's comics...surprise! He is also the smartest coolest funniest robin ever. And omg isn't Jason traumatized when you read his story? But also isn't Steph even more so? Or Cass?

Jason's og backstory was so similar to Dick's they had to change it. Like sure they give each robin/batfam their own traits and backstory, but they also end up with really similar abilities/going through similar events a lot of the time. And personality wise it's not much better because you would think that's one of the things they'd want to keep stable but no.

Tim swings wildly between Batman's most obedient good little soldier and feral child that lies to his face. The evolution sometimes is non existent or not coherent with the plot but that's because a new writer picked it up and he doesn't want to focus on that. Even their unique characteristics get fucked around in canon. Paraphrasing "the characters will do what the writer wants them to do".

If you're afraid of misrepresenting the character I would fall back on these core traits and build up from them. As long as you keep that in mind it's gonna be more canon compliant than some parts of canon. I'm also big on "let people fuck around with fanon" because truly, I might hate some interpretations of the characters...but it's not like it's canon. That's someone playing dolls with a comic character, who cares? I say let them. Simply don't engage if you dislike it.

if tim was stuck in a time loop I think the first person he'd tell would be ives because ives would believe him instantly

So it may be obvious by now, but yes this is Tim! In LPoD he actually wears the original costume instead of his improved one because Bruce hasn’t made him Robin yet.

If you’re curious on how to tell the 4 apart I usually use context and hair. For example for this panel it’s too old to be Damian. As for hair, as Robin, Dick had the straightest hair that he wore swooped off to the side, so you can tell it’s not him. And Jason’s got his bangs so you know it’s not him, making this Tim!

edit for confusion!: he’s not taller than Alfred he’s standing on a rock

Somewhere across the country, Dick Grayson just burst into tears of pride and doesn’t know why

young justice my beloved <3
