I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person

Batman | Tim Drake | 1,800 words
Tim hadn’t actually meant to start a popular Batwatch blog.
He hadn’t meant to start a blog at all honestly but by the time he turned eleven he’d accumulated hundreds of pictures of Batman and Robin on his Nikon DSLR and it had just seemed inefficient to go through the trouble of printing them and storing them in a box under his bed when BlogSphere had a perfectly adequate platform.

Re: Knight Terrors - Robin #2
There is so much here I could talk about, it's hard to even pick/ decide where to start. I guess I'll just say this up front: I really didn't like the first issue, and while I still have some minor gripes with this second one, it was overarchingly damn good and I'm ridiculously excited that Tim and Jason were finally allowed again to have an interaction that makes sense for them, given their past history. It's been 84 years I swear.
Now without further ado:
1)
The way they see themselves and each other.
This excerpt goes perfectly with a different post I was working on, talking about what happened at Titans Tower.
(Jason narrating, referring to Tim; Teen Titans 2003 #29)
Tim chronically suffers from imposter syndrome. He's constantly doubting himself. But Jason has always believed, known, that Tim is good at what he does. And over time his conviction in regards to it has only grown stronger. Jason's high opinion of Tim's capabilities is actually part of the reason he was so hurt about being "replaced" by Tim, specifically.
(Jason talking to Tim during Robin War; Red Hood/Arsenal 2015 #7)
Jason has always seen Tim as better than himself. All the while Tim has struggled to feel capable of living up to Jason's legacy. But Tim still took up the mantle because he cared and he had to try. And Jason recognizes that.
(Tim talking at a portrait of Jason, Secret Origins 2014 #3)
(Red Hood/Arsenal 2015 #37)
(Red Hood and the Outlaws 2011 #8)
In summary for this section: Tim and Jason tend to think lowly of themselves, but highly of each other. There's mutual respect and understanding. That's at the very core of their relationship and Knight Terrors showcases that beautifully.
2)
Another great thing about their dynamic that gets shown off in this issue is that they make a damn good team and enjoy working together.
throughout the issue
(Tim narrating, Teen Titans 2011 #16)
(We are Robin 2015 #7)
3)
Last but not least, we get some delightfully, painfully, tender moments.
Jason wishes for someone to count on. And Tim is right there for him. Which gets heavily doubled down on at the end of the issue:
Tim is always ready to work with Jason, to lend a hand, to be there for him-
- and Jason trusts Tim with his life.
Which, speaking of life...
After waking up, Jason tries to get in contact with Tim and when he can't, we see how devastate he is, thinking something went wrong. Ouch.
In conclusion: I was worried going in, with DC's track record lately, but I can happily say I was beyond pleasantly surprised. This feels like a return to form, and I pray we'll get more content featuring these two in the near future. If you haven't checked it out yourself yet, I highly recommend reading this issue.
Thanks for listening <3 I know this was a lot hah

getting into batman like im back to being 9 and watching the batman cartoon on tv and the superman movies except now there is layering*tm*
but also just ending up finding a blorbo here i was not expecting and slowly starting to consume stuff
but also specifically, its rly difficult to get into a thing that is mostly comics? because like. decades worth of comics, of varying degrees of quality (both art and storywise) that i can't really. afford or easily find.
and like. not to gatekeep on myself when i hate on gatekeepers by default but i feel like consuming fanfics without interacting at least with some parts of the canon means i don't rightly belong here (which i would never say about anyone else. its just me at me.)
but also me doing what i do best once i get in a fandom, which is start churning out fic ideas like nobody's business
except its just me. so i just. spin my blorbo and my ideas in my brain around like a cow bcs i have nobody to excitedly share them with
i have one (1) friend in this fandom but i cant be bothering 'em constantly 24/7 about things n ideas they dont care about ughhhh
wish it was easier to befriend people =3= but also it's just So Much. just the idea of trying to reach out or find friends in this fandom makes me want to go lay down.

'Revenge is bad' to YOU. i love when a character destroys everyone who wronged them. i love when they get to bite and maim and tear and rip and scratch and kill. Sorry ur catholic about it but i'm different

really glad that I have curated my fandom experience such that every time I see a post complaining about the rampant demonization or hatred of a female character I don't even know who they could possibly be referring to because my dash is 100% support for women's wrongs. I cannot think of the last time I saw a condemnation of a fictional woman even though I am assured that it is happening somewhere. on my dash a woman can literally eat people and the whole chat will still stan her
