UGH I just read this a few weeks back and let me tell you, the literal SCREAMING CURSES I was ranting into my Notes column, like audibly pounding at my keyboard Steaming Mad lmao

Actually let me just go pull them from that file. Here:

"Somehow I failed. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe it was giving in to your wish to attend a local public school." OH FUCKING SURE JACK, THAT'S IT. After Tim STRAIGHT UP FUCKING CONFRONTED YOU about not knowing who he is because you were always sending him off to boarding schools and jetting around the world, you're '~not sure what you did wrong~ uwu', and your attempt at a solution is to SEND HIM AWAY TO ANOTHER BOARDING SCHOOL??? FUCK YOU JACK, FUCKING FUCK YOU. Yeah Tim is legitimately acting out and you're completely out of your depth, so instead of buckling down and trying to be a parent you IMMEDIATELY give up and try to chuck him back into the system that he JUST TOLD YOU is a big part of the reason you're estranged!!! BRILLIANT MOVE FUCKWAD!!!! GOD YOU'RE SUCH A TOOL

‘Somehow I failed. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Maybe it was giving in to your wish to attend a local public school. I made a few phone calls. And I’ve decided that you’ll transfer to Fernwood Academy for Boys…in Metropolis.’

–Jack Drake to Tim Drake (Robin Miniseries III #4 – Fall From Grace)

#yeah he takes it back and doesn't send Tim away #BUT STILL #(caroling) 🎵~FUUUUUCK JACK DRAKE~🎵#he wakes up from a coma to a dead wife paralyzed legs and a troubled but CARING son who wheels him around everywhere #straight up acting as a caretaker a lot of the time #WANTING to connect with him and have a relationship #and when his son struggles and skips school and acts moody and gets in fights #he tries to cut Tim off from the supportive mentor who took care of him while he was comatose and Tim was bereft #because he's JEALOUS of his place as Tim's father #and then his IDEA of acting as Tim's father while he's struggling is 'YOU'RE OUT OF LINE YOUNG MAN BACK TO BOARDING SCHOOL WITH YOU'#lmfao oh my god even just remembering it I'm seething all over again #that hug at the end where the Batsignal is looming in the background had me howling like #YEP THAT'S TIM'S FUTURE NOT YOU ASSHOLE #Tim Drake #Jack Drake #dcu #Tim's complicated relationship with his dad like sighhhhh #TIM can love his dad and be conflicted #*I* will go ahead and hate Jack lol #comics reading tag
