Tim’s gonna be like damn even after coming out and focusing on my civilian identity I still feel unsatisfied and confused about my life and everyone’s gonna look at each other trying to psychically vote on the person who’s gonna have to explain to him that it’s probably because he is, and has been, not well mentally

bro thought gay sex would fix him and when that didn’t work he tried even more gay sex and honestly you’ve got to hand it to him for that one

"Dick was a terror of a child" "Dick was Bruce's least favorite child to raise" my love there are much easier ways to say that you do not like loud children than projecting it onto Bruce Wayne, who loved raising Dick Grayson's rambunctious ass so much that he gave 3 children a lifelong inferiority complex about it

tims relationship with his father is so interesting to read because the writers cant seem to decide what they want that relationship to be. tim doesnt really have much of a relationship with his dad until after his mom dies because jack realizes during a near death experience that he really should be spending more time with his son instead of just putting him in boarding school. after he wakes up from his coma he is left a single parent to a kid who has had probably too much freedom for someone his age and does not respond well to jacks attempts to lay down house rules. at this point tim is also a caretaker for his dad which makes their relationship all the more unconventional. tim does love and respect his father but they really dont know each other all that well and jack has no idea how to handle a teenager. this isn’t helped by bruce’s constant undermining of jacks parenting where if is was a robin related issue bruce would cover for him no questions asked. you also see a shift pretty quickly after dana is introduced where he stops making as much of an effort to spend time with tim and instead want to spend time with his new girlfriend. you’d expect the events of no mans land to maybe be a turning point for them where jack realizes how little control he has over the situation but his solution is to just send tim back to boarding school as if thats not one of the biggest reasons why they didnt have a relationship until tim was a teenager. jack drake is simply not good at parenting and continues to make the same mistakes over and over again.
