#but i am hurting for dakian and his robin run

[dick-nightwing-grayson]

even as a tim drake fan i'm absolutely on your side in this discourse that's apparently going on. "he was the first robin to wear pants" maybe. sure. when he first showed up in the god damn comics that is. now, people look at dick and jason as robin and go yo, this dude needs some pants this is so impractical. it's 2022, we know to give superheroes pants now. so ofc they're putting them in pants. they aren't trying to take away from tim, fucking dumbasses.

and dc desperately needs to give him an identity outside of robin. don't give him another robin run. it's damian's time. let! him! be! someone! else! and let him actually age in canon he's practically fucking stuck in time

i'm rambling now a bit but honestly, some tim drake "fans" make me want to stop liking his character

I really am unbothered by Tim most of the time and enjoy him a lot in canon. Dc has annoyed me with their handling of the Robin situation and I was grieving, which I am sure I will be over shortly enough- but then the Tim fans showed up and brought Dick into this!

You can pit Tim and Damian against each other all you want, but Tim Robin versus Dick Robin is always going to be a losing battle for Tim fans. Why put yourself in that situation? Idgi

I agree Tim needs his own identity. Red robjn was a good try, but DC really mucked up the marketing when it happened and slightly made him the villain of his own story (it is far from a flattering run) Now they are left without a known identity for a character they just made massively marketable by canonizing his bisexuality. Davis has led to a huge mess and everyone loses. Even in the Christmas story by Megan Fitzmqrtin she writes that Tim needs to explore his identity outside of Robin- what they are doing makes no sense.

Lastly, there have always been a legion of Tim fans that have been overly annoying. I know many Dick stans have been fighting them (dICk sEnT tIM tO ARkHaM) for years. Most have chilled out or found their own niche, but woah- you make one post about Teen Titans GO (a crack show) having Dick be unhinged regarding Tim and some crawl out of the woodwork 😬 idk. Saying any part of Robin has been. Stolen by Dick or Jason from Tim, when they came before him, is just the largest logical fallacy. Plus as you state, canon is ALWAYS going to go against you.

And pants as Robin? Dick did it first 😉
