jack drake is a dad for sure

#Okay hi i need to get out all my thoughts (at the midpoint-ish of robin/where no mans land stuff is happening) #Because it’s like. He is not a good father. But he also loves his son both are true at the same time #It’s like. he pulls out all the stops during no man’s land. and getting worried and mad when tim up and disappears suddenly a ton is a #reasonable reaction. But with that said. he sucks as a dad just differently from popular portrayal #I think everyone should read to the father I never knew b4 saying anything about Tim’s relationship with his dad. Like. Jack loves him and #he has an image of tim in his head that is very different from what he actually is #<- i don’t think only cares about status drakes is true at all like it’s a different issue. #<- and on that note janet is fridged so early so putting any sort of bad mom thing on her is just. like. misogyny #BUT anyways he also sucks as a father real bad the. tv ripping incident is genuinely haunting #He has a skewed perception of himself he’s constantly like I’ve been permissive.. when Tim comes back this time I’m going to be so #strict. As if he isn’t authoritative and terrible #Also his continued like I’m going to be a better father. (proceeds not to do that) #Also I’m always thinking of that one panel from the robin miniseries where they’re like dad we won’t let anything come in between us again #& the bat signal is in the background. genuinely showstopping. #Anyways. Yeah. Jack drake. Is a dad for sure. Not a good one. He sucks. In a way that is different from popular portrayal #In a rlly interesting way. #esha.txt #dc #tim

Hi! Hope you’re safe. I was wondering, what’s your favourite story arc for Tim in the comics (from his solo or the main bat-fam series)? Have a great day!

Hello! I’m doing okay at the moment, besides personal stuff really. But it’s not even really my problems, just--ya know, stuff.

But, I think honestly my favorite story arc is still his first miniseries, because I view it as such a classic in my heart. The characterization, story, character writing, development, little character moments, are just so packed together that it’s such a nice run. Besides that panel were Lady Shiva made a sex joke to a little kid in his tighty whities, because that panel still haunts me every time I read the series. But if you just take a marker and scribble over that it’s a wonderful mini. Dixon just has some ... really bad taste sometimes.

Like Tim’s had other good arcs. Like the first arc of his ongoing is pretty good. Both of his other minis have great character stories to them. When Tim thought he wasn’t good enough so match, he more or less ran from home and back to France to finish his training. No Man’s Land where he was so dedicated to keep being Robin but made his dad worried sick in the process and the government had to fetch him all sprang to mind right away.

Even just his more light hearted stories just solving a crime against the DC version of Barney the Dinosaur cause Tim seemingly has an obsession or at least had one to know a bunch of information like it was his dang hyperfixation at one point. Or when he took on Toy man.

They’re very kiddy, but well, look at Tim, look at that face, he’s a little boy. Also a teenager, but a little teen basically. He’s going to have some kiddy stories in them, but they’re oddly complex in little ways that still make them really fun to read.

Another story being when Killer Moth turned into an actual Killer Moth was freaking disturbing but good.

He had a lot of great stories. He didn’t really do long arcs that much. So it’s mainly little short ones, but they’re just good and too the point with great character work.

Mostly anyways. His romances really sucked. I don’t think Dixon knows how romances always work.
