i hope tim drake gets disowned and falls down the stairs in front of photographers and his boyfriend leaves him and all his friends stop texting him back and the spirits of his dead parents come back and call him a slur and he gets tetanus from a rusty nail on his ugly houseboat and the houseboat sinks and dick calls him inept and he develops a shellfish allergy for real and eats a shrimp and keels over dead
everybody say happy birthday to dick grayson!
This !!!!
I feel like a lot of this comes from people who are uncomfortable with the whole “child soldier” concept and try to make it Less Bad by aging them up. But at the end of the day, Robin was designed as a vessel for child readers to imagine themselves as Batman’s sidekick. The whole concept of Superheroes is so impossibly ludicrous in the first place, I don’t think it’s necessary to try to apply real life morals to Every Single Situation. Let the nine year old fight crime in a silly outfit! It’s fiction!
i don’t really fuck with people making robin (any of them, really) much older then they were originally when they were introduced. ofc comics are sometimes vague about that sort of thing, but dick turned eight already living in wayne manor, so it feels weird when we have him start being robin at any older than 10. it cuts his time short when it was the longest period of batman history and also takes away the key factor that explains his actions and thought process as a child
time in comics is different than the real world, obviously, but we NEED to try and translate some of the irl context into the stories. a reader can’t understand the weight of dick needing to get out of batman’s shadow after being his sidekick for decades if in universe he was there for 3 years at best
I'm forever thinking about the time Dick lived in Chicago and for like two issues straight a secondary conflict for him was that his roommates kept closing his bedroom window while he was out as Nightwing
most egregiously OOC moment of wfa imo is tim drake standing by and letting the others slander the discowing suit. like i just KNOW 90s tim thought that costume was the coolest shit ever i KNOW he was doodling it in the corner of his school books n daydreaming about wearing a replica for halloween. there's no way he'd have allowed it to be the punishment for a videogame tournament!! in tim's eyes the discowing is a sacred historical artifact and jason todd isn't allowed within three feet of it on pain of death
little sketches to just get the idea out.
theyre such annoying little assholes to each other. peak brotherhood
