Tim: in light of my all-consuming grief, I have decided to embark on a go-for-broke suicide run while trying to unravel time.

Dick: Have you considered therapy instead?

Tim: first of all, how dare you.

When youve been a writer for long enough, commas become more of a spiritual practice than a grammatical one.

Could I explain the actual rules of how they’re used? Absolutely not.

Do I rely on sensing a tremor in the force to tell me where to use them? Yes and this has never failed me even once.

Do I… do I create a Weird Gotham Thing where time just… doesn’t work occasionally (specific days determined by some combination of, like, moon phases, prime numbers, and the fibonacci sequence or something equally convoluted) and everyone knows it just so Reborn era Dick & Tim can put on their old costumes and have fun for a night without upsetting the balance in Gotham?

What Bruce needs more than anything is a reason to live, and his kids give him that by just existing. No, listen to me. The mission matters in that it gives Bruce something to die for. Bruce came back to Gotham to be Batman until he died, and until he died bloody and young. Dick Grayson changed the way he approached the mission because he couldn't die as long as he had to take care of Dick. And Jason took Dick's role when Dick left. And when Jason died, Bruce went back to Plan A. Die bloody and die fast. Tim didn't save him like he was pulling him back from the brink every night for years and years ad infinitum. Tim saved him by being. Tim saved him in an instant. That's who Robin is.

I know I'm thinking too much about Bruce and Dick again when I start vibrating out of my skin, and I just know that arc where B is accused of murder must be the most wretched thing known to man, do you know Dick says in the Gotham Knights issue that he NEVER would have taught Tim that he is ALLOWED to DOUBT Bruce I mean

webweaving thoughts about steve and robin (robin's pov)

[ravenlilyrose]

I like to think that the logical conclusion of both Dick and Bruce's outlook on aging and retirement as superheroes generally being "I won't think about it and it'll probably mortally sort itself out before I'm forced to" is that they'll both end up going senile together in the vigilante retirement home where the staff keep having to retrieve them after they break out to go and be old man Batman and Robin

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

Fandom: is this the batfamily therapist?

I love how comfortable Barbara is stealing from criminals and taking anything from her surroundings that she feels would be useful I love how Tim doesn't think too hard about it he's just excited to be there. Laws are a polite suggestion that she will review and decide whether it's worth adding to her moral code or not.

Dick: where’d you learn how to knit?

Tim: your Aunt Harriet taught me

Dick: oh okay!

Dick: wait.

Tim, on some kind of advice forum:

So, my brother told me I should do everything in my power not to die. He also told me not to talk to the several-hundred-year-old pseudo-immortal who’s obsessed with me. Do you think he’d be more disappointed if I don’t talk to the guy and die someday or if I do talk to the guy and live forever?
