Okay @s-p-r-i-n-g-t-i-m-e Iā€™m sure you know plenty BUT Iā€™m going to use your wonderful and hilarious comment on this as an excuse to talk about Bernard, bc I realized recently that there are plenty of ppl who havenā€™t read most of the comics heā€™s been in. So get ready for my long overdue:
UNPACKING BERNARD DOWD + HIS TRAUMA (for those who cannot keep up with comics but want to get to know him)
So to start, Tim met Bernard years ago ofc, when they were in high school. Itā€™s established pretty quick that Bernard is an extremely Unserious guy LMAO, the first thing he does is literally circle Tim and try to feel him out socially, see what kind of guy he is. Heā€™s the kind of guy who gets himself in trouble with his big mouth, and seems to enjoy poking at Tim and testing his patience. By the time we meet Bernard again in the recent years, heā€™s grown a lot, but at his core heā€™s still the light-hearted, fun, goofy guy with very strong opinions. Just less stand-offish, maybe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Throughout the time Tim spends at this school though, Bernard does experience some wild shit. He lost Darla (somebody he really cared about), he experienced a shooting at his school, and then Darla came back from the dead, kind of scared the hell out of him, and used him to contact Tim again. It was kind of played for laughs, but like. Thatā€™s gotta fuck you up. (Robin #140)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Obviously this is the kind of thing that maybeee has a lasting effect on you. And BECAUSE Tim Drake: Robin got cut so short and the writer had to rush to wrap up the series, weā€™re left to fill in a lot of gaps and draw conclusions about the years we didnā€™t see Bernard ourselves. But we absolutely get some insight as to his life after Tim left that school and we stopped seeing him in the comics. Spoiler alert: it was hard.
In TDR, Bernard discusses the the cult that heā€™d been in that Tim saved him from in Urban Legends. He says that ā€œheā€™d accepted himselfā€, but others hadnā€™t. Obviously thereā€™s the natural reading that he means his queerness (which has me chewing through drywall), but I think that heā€™s speaking very broadly too. Bernard is a very odd example of a civilian, because heā€™s always getting dragged into things much bigger than him. And even before that, he had his big ideas, his conspiracies, his loud personality. He tended to rub people the wrong way in high school. Then in issue #7 of TDR (the Bernard pov issue my most beloved, weird pacing aside) Bernard refers to this ā€œoozy, sticky feelingā€ that he ALWAYS feels when Tim isnā€™t around. He says when heā€™s alone itā€™s harder to put one foot in front of the other. To keep GOING. To wake up every day.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that Bernard has always felt like an outcast. (Robin #121, he doesnā€™t fit into any clique). He wasnā€™t as okay with it as he acted. And I think he wasnā€™t getting any attention from his parents. (Batman: Urban Legends #5, Bernardā€™s parents nonchalance to the days leading up to his kidnapping)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So just like Bernard explained to Tim, that feeling got bad. and he wanted to let go. The chaos monsters, the cult, all of it was a means to an end. But then Tim agreed to see him again, and I think that sparked something in him. Because he started learning to fight. When he was tied down to that alter and Tim was saving him, I think it fully sank in to Bernard that he didnā€™t want to die. Reconnecting with Tim gave him hope and made him really feel something good for the first time in ages.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So now that theyā€™re dating after the cult fiasco, we get to know this current Bernard. A less goading, maybe calmer Bernard. But heā€™s still himself, of course, rambling about his ideas and making bad jokes and sticking to his guns (he has NEVER been a pushover, no idea where people get that idea?). I think a lot of people complained that Bernard mellowed out too much in terms of attitude, but I think if he seems ā€œnicerā€ itā€™s because 1) heā€™s grown now. Itā€™s been a while since we last saw him, and heā€™s clearly changed a lot. And 2) because heā€™s dating Tim now. He likes him a lot, and heā€™s an affectionate partner. He wants to lift Tim up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But the fact that he was pulled into a cult still remains. And as lighthearted as Bernard tries to be, that traumatic experience still happened. It said in Urban Legends #5 while Tim was searching for him that Bernard had welts on his arms and legs and had been acting different, so itā€™s not like he was just snatched up on a whim. Heā€™d spent significant time there. For those who havenā€™t read much abt the ways cult trauma specifically can fuck you up, I recommend doing a search if youā€™re in a good headspace for that and want to understand him more. because itā€™s pretty bad.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then! yeah. you guessed it. Bernard gets kidnapped again. Chained up next to a BOMB thatā€™s counting down. RIGHT WHEN HEā€™S WORKING ON HEALING FROM ALMOST BEING SACRIFICED BY A CULT.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And surely this canā€™t get crazier. Heā€™s almost died twice in the past 6 months. except, remember his parents? In TD:R #7, we really see a little more of his relationship with his parents. He doesnā€™t live up to their standards, and his dad specifically seems to just want to argue with him. The restaurant theyā€™re at is attacked, and everything goes to shit, and. you know, I think these panels really speak for themselves.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And for the record, when itā€™s revealed that everyone is seeing their worst fears, Bernardā€™s parents fears are not about him.
Tumblr media
So now Bernard has to deal with that. And we start to see that Bernard is really not as okay as heā€™s tried to be. He keeps a baseball bat by his door because heā€™s been kidnapped twice now. And just when heā€™d likely thought things couldnā€™t get worse, he heard the Chaos Monsters were back. I canā€™t imagine he feels safe. He lashes out for the first time since all this has happened and yells at Kate and Tim, because while theyā€™re doing what they feel is necessary to save more people (AND I DONT BLAME THEM AT ALL), Bernard canā€™t talk about it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And I will forever be sad and insist that TD:R got cancelled too soon, just before we could get into the really juicy stuff, because things had to be wrapped up pretty quick and this was the only comic Bernard was consistently appearing in. But when Tim is giving himself up to the chaos monsters, Bernard goes out and rallies anyone he knows can help. Things were rushed because there was no more time to flesh out the story the way it could have been, but Iā€™m including these panels just because I love Bernard Audacity Dowd using a fucking flashlight and shadow puppet to call Batman. geeking out for a minute. And then leading the battalion to save Tim with a SLEDGEHAMMER. gay people rule.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So yeah! While I see the vision of how a lot of Bernardā€™s trauma was meant to be semi-resolved and let him come to peace after saving Tim back, we just didnā€™t have the time for him to heal properly. Iā€™d give anything to get inside his brain again. UHH IF YOU READ THIS I HOPE YOU LOVE BERNARD NOW and donā€™t come at me if I left something out, some of my comics arenā€™t with me rn. Bonus TimBer for the road:

Would you like to give us some series recs. (Angsty,,mature)typa series
šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•šŸ’•
series... okay, these are easier to remember, enjoy angel šŸ’–
min yoongi, three tangerines by kithtaehyung. slow burn, slight age gap, brother's best friend, angst, fluff, pining, tension, romance, smut. really beautiful writing. long chapters.
kim namjoon, he's your father's best friend by your-daily-biaswrecking. šŸ‘€ this isn't so much a series as it is a drabble with two parts, but it had to be mentioned here bc like >>> dilf!namjoon, age gap, angst, smut. I first came across this story ages ago and I never forgot it, the way the angst and the reunion scene were written did so many things to my heart šŸ˜©
kim seokjin, off limits by floralseokjin. brother's best friend, slight angst, fluff, smut. no words no words no words šŸ’–
if you're looking for series that contain some good angst, lots of comfort and amazing smut I am referring you to my queen @beahae šŸ‘‘ seriously stunning, touching writing, her masterlist is one of my favorite places to go back to for comfort ā™„ļø
jeon jungkook, ex on the beach
ot7, unorthodox
if you're in the mood for series with angst, lots of comfort, lots of fluff and mature themes without the smut, I refer you to my other talented queen @imnotlauriane. I don't even know which series to recommend, I started reading three so far, but I guess she's a magician or something because she comes out with something new and wonderful ALL THE TIME so
here is the masterlist <3
if you'd prefer darker fantasy with these themes and some more amazing smut, please check out claret cravings by @vvh0adie ā¤ļø
hello?! mortician witch reader and seven adorable, possessive vampire bats šŸ¦‡ the story is so, so incredibly well written, creative and has the kind of gothic vibes I absolutely love and can't find anywhere else.
speaking of dark fantasy mixed in with these themes and more remarkable writing ā€” @yoongsisbae
masterlist
pick and choose ā€” zombies, werewolves, end of the world. bewitching is the only word I can think of here. I'm only starting my journey through these and I'm in so so love. as I knew I would be ā™„ļø
@jeonggukieverse!!! šŸŒ¹fantastic yandere, mystery thrillers. again, I couldn't find works like hers anywhere else. perfection if you ask me, not only in regards to the horror aspect of it, but also the writing itself. šŸ’—
jeon jungkook, bunny boy.
jeon jungkook, let the games begin.
@orchidyoonkook šŸ’
jeon jungkook, to what we were before, and all the things after. smut, fluff, angst, slow burn. again, only starting my journey here but <3 dreamy and beautiful, yes please to the entire concept of Jungkook as a prince, golden minds create golden stories I guess šŸ’ÆšŸ’ž
@deepdarkdelights šŸ’˜ this one is so obvious, but I completely fell in love with the outstanding writing style and the unique plot.
jeon jungkook, ten seconds. yandere, angst, smut, hurt/comfort themes.
please don't forget to send the talented authors some love <3

Iā€™m pretty new to kaeya ships and I want to know how Kaebedo appeals to you!! /This isn't a sarcastic question I promise šŸ˜­
So far, the only ship I get is Rosakae because haha bi couple/girl that says bruhh x guy that says hiii
Do you have any recommended kaebedo fanfics? Thank you <33
i think the biggest appeal of kaebedo to me is the parallels between them. both are from khaenri'ah and were abandoned by a parent figure with an unclear mission on their shoulders and ended up finding a home in a place they fear they will have to betray one day. even without a romantic lens there is SO much potential here!!! they must know of each other's secret to some degree, there's no way they don't. they could form such a deep connection based on these shared origins. let them bond hoyoverse!!!!
its insane to me that kaeya and albedo have never exchanged more than five words in game when theres so much material to work with here.. especially because they DO know each other! the game tells us that! kaeya has an "about albedo" voiceline (Albedo, eh? Calm, collected, and incredibly talented. He's the type everybody likes, some even more so than others. What, you into him as well?), albedo doesnt have an "about kaeya" voiceline but he does mention him in one of his "more about albedo" ones (The time required to sketch portraits closely correlates with one's mood. I could spend half a day sketching Huffman, while I might only need three strokes of the pencil to sketch Kaeya ā€” one for the face, one for the eyepatch string... and one for the eyepatch.) and, actually, pairing that with this
Tumblr media
from a past event i think we can say it's implied that albedo draws kaeya fairly often. kaeya seems to babysit klee frequently, which is all the more chance for them to get to know each other more..... they live in the same region and have so many themes in common LET THEM TALK! LET THEM TALK!! kaebedo as a ship is kind of built from the ground up with just minimal canon content and our wild imaginations but hey. the potential is right there. also i think they look cute together. anyway, fanfic recs, you say? i have some<3
Calcium, Carbonate, and Other Things That Run Bone-Deep by Princeliest
Albedo comes knocking at Kaeya's office door, and asks Kaeya to kill him. All in all, it's the worst falling-in-love experience that Kaeya has ever had. (Albedo fears a lot of things. He's never reached out for help with any of them, but he's also never had anyone see him and reach out first.)
this is genuinely one of the best fics ive ever read in my life it's SO good. i kept rotating it inside my mind for days afterwards. and the kaebedo dynamic here is one of my favorite renditions of it too!!!!! like they cannot live through a normal love story it has to be weird when they are both involved. and this fic executes the brand of weirdness i expect from kaebedo perfectly. the characterization for both of them was really good. warning for some body horror but if you're okay with that it's part of the charm in this fic i really enjoyed reading those parts
this wordless dance, in the night by untunedviola
ā€œI donā€™t want to talk about it,ā€ Kaeya mutters into Albedoā€™s chest. Albedo pulls him closer. Gentle fingers thread through his hair. ā€œYou donā€™t have to.ā€ He sighs. ā€œI know.ā€ Kaeyaā€™s relationship with his mother tongue, his family, and Albedo develops in fits in starts.
i just reread this while searching through recs on my bookmarks and!!!!!!!!! this is THE kaebedo relationship study EVER. it's so good. its more focused on kaeya since it's from his point of view but albedo is a central crucial part of it. it explores their connection to khaenri'ah and the connection they could have with each other because of it SO well it's really amazing! the angst is delightful i love this one.
and you should check out this author's other works!! seriously the way they write kaebedo is like the best ever. i havent read all of them but the ones i have read were immediate favorites. untunedviola if youre out there
The Curious Investigation on the Investigation Captain by evesbeve
ā€œThis is not an invitation to spoil me,ā€ Albedo says through a bite, a hand over his mouth. ā€œAs you have with Klee.ā€ ā€œI have no idea what you are talking about," Kaeya laughs. ā€œAlthoughā€¦ would it really be that bad, if I wanted to take care of you?ā€ (Or: When Sucrose mentions that she's been worried about Albedo and his constant cases of zoning out, Kaeya takes it upon himself to investigate the situation.)
a lighter, fluffier work to make up for the angst of the previous recs. so sweet youll get cavities honestly. works to read while giggling about how much you love these silly little characters. bonus ragbros and other mond characters. really nice read!!!!
i wish i had more recs but i really dont. i need to read more about them honestly.
im deeply sorry for taking like three months to answer!! many such cases im afraid. i hope my kaebedo propaganda has worked on you or anyone else reading this
