Okay, since some of you all seem determined to insist on Dick Grayson as a cop being a thing, lemme break down the one and only way him being a cop could EVER work with his actual characterization and premise, IMO.

You gotta get this whole ‘hero cop’ notion out of your brain, because the way Dick works as a cop is not by being the best at his job.....

its by being the WORST.

And I mean, the actual WORST, the guy that every precinct WANTS to fire, but can’t, because of who his daddy is.

Dick Grayson as a cop needs to be the guy who’s so bumbling and inept, he can bump into a cop about to shoot an unarmed suspect and throw off his aim, without anyone thinking twice about it.

Dick Grayson as a cop needs to be the guy who’s so dismissed and ignored as an absolute dumbass, that his fellow cops are openly racist and homophobic around him at work, as he jots down names to target afterhours as Nightwing.

Dick Grayson as a cop needs to be the guy who’s assigned to work the evidence lock-up, and is so incompetent that nobody even thinks to suspect him when key evidence in cases of institutionalized oppression of marginalized criminals goes missing.......or when the overeager, trying-too-hard to make up for his failings and impress his coworkers Dick somehow finds evidence that went ‘missing’ in cases against one percenters or city officials who have cops in their back pocket.

Dick Grayson as a cop ‘accidentally’ turns on security cameras and body cams that were ‘supposed’ to be turned off, without seeming to have a clue what he did or why he wasn’t supposed to have done that.

The thing about Dick Grayson as a cop isn’t just that its hypocritical in the sense that technically Dick’s breaking the very laws he’s sworn to uphold as a cop, just by virtue of being a vigilante....

Its that it ignores WHY he’s a vigilante in the first place:

HE DOESN’T BELIEVE LEGALITY EQUALS MORALITY.

His efforts as a vigilante have never been meant to SUPPLEMENT the work the police does, but rather exist entirely outside of it....because being beholden to the rule of law....when the rule of law is extremely structured towards prioritizing white straight cis upperclass citizens, men especially......upholding THOSE laws inevitably requires that he prioritize the same way as those laws do, and that’s just not Dick Grayson.

So if there’s ANY chance of making him as a cop work, its not about ‘weeding out the few bad apples’ or corrupt cops....its about actively being a gum in the works, a hindrance to the entire operation.....being someone who actively, habitually, and with intent works to grind the corruption of the whole institution to as much of a stop as he can manage, to make it as ineffective as he can.

To actively over-correct against the police as an institution’s tendency to work for a small fraction of the populace at the expense of everyone else.

And that’s an exhausting proposition for one man, which is why I don’t like even that, personally, and would rather he have a day job he can just chill and unwind during (and that wouldn’t paint a target on his back, because he might not be able to be fired due to his connections, but you better believe someone would be trying to make ‘accidents’ befall him if he was anywhere near effective at all of this at all).

But yeah......if you really really really want to make Dick as a cop work for some reason?

You don’t do it by making him a ‘hero cop.’

You do it by making him an anchor wrapped around the legs of his whole damn precinct, dragging them, slowing them down, hobbling their ability to add to the violence citizens in his city face....while he and other vigilantes do the actual work of fighting actual non-police-originating violence ‘afterhours.’

They say one in every six kids is gay so pick any of the super/batfam that you think is the most likely not straight/cis het

All of them Just kidding... Or am I? In all seriousness, I personally think the most likely to be some kind of queer is ma boi Dick Grayson: Bisexual

You can not look me in the eye and tell me this boy lived in a tower with a bunch of other teenagers and didn’t mess around at least a little bit.

By the time he left Wayne Manor and started the Teen Titans, he was already in a place where he was figuring himself out; what kind of man he was, what kind of man he wanted to be.

The Titans was great because they were all figuring themselves out, and since it was just this group of good friends, truthfully more like family, it was a great opportunity.

Did it screw him over a little when he did-the-do with basically all of his friends? Maybe.

Did it screw him over a lot when he didn’t stop even after leaving the Titans? Absolutely.

He didn’t think too much about coming out to Bruce - still mad at you B - until he started working with the next generation of teen heroes, and realizing that a lot of them we’re questioning themselves like he had, and they had no one to look up to....

SO QUEUE HIM BEING THE LOUDEST BISEXUAL MAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN

NEED TO TALK ABOUT SEXUALITY???? HE GOT YOU

THINK YOU MIGHT BE TRANS????? HELL YEAH FUNKY LITTLE FELLA, LETS GET THEE A BATTLE-SAFE BINDER

YOU NEED A PRIDE FLAG???? HERE HAVE A PRIDE FLAG!!!! HAVE ANOTHER!!!!! FUCK IT!!!! HAVE MORE!!!!!

He didn’t have any queer icons to look up to as a kid, so you bet your ass he’s gonna make sure he’s front and center for everyone to see.

=-=-=-=-=

9 months. It's been 9 months since the Joker's death, and I knew something wasn't right, I felt that, since his death the crime rates have decreased, this should be a good sign, but... I feel like it was calm before the storm starts.

Today was October 30th, the day before Halloween, it was a nice day, I mean, I like to watch Halloween movies, give candy to children, see and create costumes, and maybe go to a Halloween party... pfff, obviously I don't go to parties. But other than that I think Halloween is cool, a great autumn day, cold days to stay under the blankets, watch something on tv and maybe customize some pumpkins.

My day was going as well as any other, Richard and I had agreed to spend today and tomorrow in my apartment, I was happy that he was coming to stay here with me, at least I wasn't so alone, I mean, I have (d / n), but well... he's a dog, so he doesn't answer me verbally, so it's good to talk to someone instead of just hearing my voice and the sound of barking. I was putting food for (d / n) when I heard knocking on the door and I ran to answer it, when I opened it I came across my boyfriend.

- Richard!

- Hey baby. - He smiled at me, put his arms around my waist and kissed me, I kissed him back and put my arms around his neck.

After we kiss, he walks into the apartment and places his backpack and motorcycle helmet next to the couch, I closed the door and go back to the kitchen.

- It looks like you worked hard to decorate the apartment. - He said while looking at the decorations, such as pumpkins and skeletons papers that I hung from the ceiling and also other details that referred to Halloween.

- Yes, I worked all week to do everything, but since I am not working and there were no classes this week, it was one of the only things I could do to distract myself. - I said while looking proudly at my hard work.

- It's wonderful.

- Thanks. - I say while blushing. I look at the oven and notice that the cookies were almost burning and I ran to get them out.

- The smell here is great, what are you cooking?

- Cookies. I hope it haven't missed the point. - I put the tray on the counter and Richard comes closer and look closely.

- That still needs to be painted. - I say while watching my boyfriend.

- They must be delicious, can I get one?

- Feel free, as long as you don't eat them all before painting them, I think everything is fine.

- I promise to leave at least one. - He spoke and touched my nose, he knew it irritated me. I crossed my arms and looked at him seriously. - Maybe two. - I rolled my eyes and laughed lightly. He comes over and wraps his arms around my waist. - Hey, you know I can't resist your cookies.

- You can't resist any food Richard. - I said and laughed as I put my arms around his neck.

- You know me. - He kisses me until (d / n) barks and we get scared.

- Looks like someone is jealous, isn't it (d / n)? - I say leaving Richard's arms and going towards my dog, and I pet him, after doing that I wash my hands to go back to my work in the kitchen.

- I'm just missing one thing. - He said while sitting on the couch and (d / n) lying on his feet.

- What?

- Pumpkins.

- Oh, I just didn't know where to leave them. - I get some pumpkins that were in my fridge.

- Wow, how many did you do?

- Four so far. I was planning to make two more after the cookies.

- Wow. This is incredible (y / n). He got up from the couch and looked at the pumpkins more closely. I smile shyly and continue making preparations to decorate the cookies.

While I was decorating the cookies, Richard decided to put some film on.

- Hey (y / n), what movie do you think we should watch?

- Hmmm, I don't know, how about ... The nightmare before christmas? - He smiles and nods in agreement placing the film right after.

While I was decorating the cookies, Richard stayed in the living room "watching" the movie, because he was actually writing something on his laptop. I saw it at a glance, it must have been a police case or something related to thieves.

When I finished the cookies I put them aside and went to carve another pumpkin, it didn't take long for me to hear the footsteps of a certain person coming to steal cookies.

- I loved the expressions of your pumpkins. - He said approaching slowly, like he wanted nothing with anything, but of course I knew what he wanted.

- You can get the cookies, you don't have to make a scene Richard. - He smiles and takes some cookies. - I loved this one. - He said showing a bat-shaped cookie with blue details.

- I made it especially for you.

- I am honored - He does something like a reverence and starts to eat the cookies, he supports his back on the counter and watches me make a drawing on the pumpkin.

- Oh, by the way, I have something that I think you will like. - I go to the fridge and get a pumpkin pie.

- I think I'm going to put on 10 kilos this Halloween. - We both laugh and put the pie on the counter.

- Since I had a lot of pumpkin pulp, I didn't want to waste it, so I made pies.

- Did you do more than one?

- Yes, I did if I'm not mistaken 7 pies.

- And what are you going to do with so much pie?

- I planned to maybe see with the neighbors if any of them would like it... on second thought, maybe they also already have pie... but, I think it is worth trying and see if someone would like it... - I say while I think about the possibilities of what people would like of pumpkin pie. - Maybe I'll give Alfred one, do you think he'll like it?

- I'm sure he will, you know that Alfred loves anything you give him.

- Yeah... I hope so.

- You don't have to worry about it, believe it. - I smile awkwardly and he kisses me on the cheek. - By the way, what do you think about watching Friday the 13th?

- It may be, I think I never watched the movie, so... I think it might be a good idea. - I shrugged while watching my pumpkin.

- Have you never watched Friday the 13th?

- I have almost pretty sure not.

- So it's going to be the perfect movie. - He smiles and goes back to the couch, with some cookies and a piece of pie of course.

The hours go by and it gets close to 18:00, it was getting dark outside. Richard and I were entertained watching the first Friday the 13th movie, everything was fine, just a few scares here and there and holding Richard's arm and resting my head on his shoulder, until I hear a scary voice outside.

- Did you hear that? - I ask him and he answers positively, we got up from the couch and went to the window. My apartment had a view of some of Gotham's big screens, so it was possible that we could see Scarecrow talking. He was talking about his fear toxin, saying that tomorrow it would look like child's play, my heart started to beat faster.

It didn't take long for the city to start being evacuated, I grabbed my backpack and put on everything I thought was most important to me, as Gotham was supposed to be dominated only by villains I couldn't leave it here to them.

I got my laptop, pen drives, pictures of people important to me and a few other things. Richard took his backpack and helped me to take what I needed to my car, as he had come on a motorcycle, (d / n) couldn't go with us, so my car was the best choice, we put everything in and Richard went to leave his motorcycle in a safe place, or at least he thought it was safe.

- I drive the car. - He spoke while making hand gestures asking me to give the car key. - You aren't in a position to drive and you know it.

I agreed and handed over the key, I was very anxious, probably already having an internal panic attack, so letting him drive was the best option, as he was already used to dealing with this type of situation.

As there were so many cars and buses evacuating the city, it took us a long time to leave the island and head towards the wayne mansion, probably one of the safest places at this time. When we got there, we removed (d / n) and our belongings, and Alfred was already at the door ready to help us.

- Master Dick, Miss (y / n), I'm glad you are well.

I was still in shock with everything that was happening, so many things going on in my mind, I was freaking out, I was exploding internally, I couldn't answer anything, because I felt that if I said anything I would collapse.

- Actually (y / n) is not well, this whole situation has affected her a lot.

- I understand, come inside Miss (y / n), I know something that will help you. - I looked at Richard before entering the mansion and following Alfred into the kitchen, he started making tea and at the end put it on the counter in front of me. - I know you are not a big fan of tea, but I recommend taking this one, it will calm you down.

- Thank you Alfred. - I say with a slightly shaky voice and take the hot cup, I wait for the tea to cool down a little before taking a sip of the drink, it was not as bad as other teas I had already tried, but it wasn't something I would take all hour. Alfred leaves the kitchen and goes to another room. I spend some time alone in the kitchen, watching the cup of tea, until Richard arrives in the kitchen and approaches me.

- I know that all this is messing with your mind, but I know that soon everything will be resolved, I know that Bruce won't let anything happen to Gotham and will do his best to save everyone he can, and so will I will help in whatever I can. And I swear I won't let anything happen to you.

- Thank you Richard. - I leave the cup on the counter and hug Richard, who returns the hug. - Thank you…

We stayed like that for some time until Richard breaks the hug and says he has to see some important things, but that he would be back soon. I go back to drinking the rest of the tea and when I finish I watch my shaking hands, I hear the sound of dog steps approaching and I see that (d / n), he knew something was wrong, I approach of him and I pet him, at least that made me calm down a little. I decide to go to the living room and look out the big window and observe the dark, rainy night that was at that moment. I hope this nightmare will end soon.

Dylan is a Mary Sue

*look I know that the symbiote has a name and Venom is both it and Eddie. So I hope you don’t get annoyed when I refer to the symbiote as Venom because writing symbiote 100 times gets annoying and I hope you get what I mean when I call it that.

I’ve been trying to write this like nine times because I don’t want to bash this character. When I wrote the post about how I didn’t want Dylan Brock near Miles, I intentionally left out the reason why because I like the character. I hate the purpose and narrative mind behind him. And plus I don’t want to seem like I bash white cis het male characters when the characters I do trash on are bad because writers tend to make them intentionally bratty. I don’t like Spider-kid, Damian Wayne when written without consequence(he is white passing), Jason Todd,or Alpha. Like giving a character a shitty attitude doesn’t make him endearing especially on a male, I’m sorry. Characters like Tim Drake, Alex Power, and Dick Grayson work because there is something genuine in them that they want to be the good of the world.

Anyways, Dylan is fun to me because he has this precocious roguishness that isn’t malevolent nor out of place. His abuse is actually abuse that isn’t made to serve as his training or whatever nor does it warps his views. And his fandom in Eddie/Venom actually makes sense because he is a kid that was abandoned by his mother and left with an emotionally and physically abusive man who would cut him down. A dark passenger like Venom appeals to him because Venom is like the codifier of misguided anger for misguided teens.

But there is a reason why he is written that way: he is a Mary-Sue. Now I don’t care about the gender preconceptions of Mary Sue vs Gary Stu nor do I try to prescribe to reclaiming Mary Sue in some vain attempt at liberal feminism. Mary Sue is bad writing unless everyone gets to play(Mary Sues work in video games). Mary Sue is something writers in most mediums that tell stories should avoid if they want said character to succeed or evoke if you want said character to be disliked. And Dylan Brock is an example that doesn’t work and is largely getting away with it because he is cute.

1. The Immaculate Conception of Dylan Brock

This is when I knew some Sue shit was unleashed on Venom fans. I don’t have to google it but I can guess that Cates has a Catholic background. Whether he is one or raised one, it is apparent in whatever meaningful writing depth he provides outside of meaningless action. And it works because Eddie Brock, being anti-Peter Parker, is Catholic. Hence the brooding and self-loathing and abusive paternity and motifs of redemption and suffering and shit. But this was not only fucked up, but a little too on the nose.

Dylan wasn’t conceived naturally. In fact, Anne Weying was raped by the symbiote and impregnated with Eddie’s DNA. So Dylan is actually the child of the Venom and Eddie Brock. “But Anne is his mother.” Look, Cates didn’t actually consider Anne so I won’t either. Outside of the fact that it doesn’t make sense chronologically since Peter was like in his early 20s when he had the Symbiote and is at most 29 now, Anne is just a vehicle for Cates’ to necessitate the purity of Dylan Brock. Dylan is the pure child of Venom, born from the womb of Eddie’s first girlfriend/fiancé/wife/whatever and the first human woman to wear a symbiote, I think. I mean she didn’t even have sex with Eddie and boom, mini Eddie Brock is wrapped in cloth and left at the meager doorstep at the sacred house of Eddie. Praise Venom, y’all.

Jokes aside, I don’t know how Venom fans just didn’t go, “Iight, Imma head out” after reading this page. Just shows the conviction of fandom.

But I digress. Now let me regale you just how improbable this is which again only serves to ordain Dylan is the truest son of Venom in all the ways possible and also highlight the very unfortunate implications of this fuckery. Symbiotes bond is how they reproduce. When they reproduce with their host, the end result up to this point has always been a symbiote. For Mass Effect fans, it’s the Asari thing except with goo. Before you ask, yes Symbiotes sexually satisfy their hosts unlike the majority of human men*cough*. Point is that Dylan should be biologically impossible but somehow he is a human symbiote hybrid. And the unfortunate implications of such of incident shouldn’t go unnoticed either. Venom and Eddie have several children and prior to this, all of them have been symbiote. Cletus and Red also have children too and again symbiote. In fact, all symbiote bonds produce symbiotes as far as male hosts are concerned...except for the brief bond of Ann Weying and Venom Symbiote. Gee I wonder why she got a different result? Well there are a few female hosts and surprising none of them have spawned a symbiote child. So logically it can be assumed that woman + symbiote = forced impregnation of symbiote. Well this shit got dark. The symbiotes just became the Jeffrey Epstein alien species. But since Cates swears up and down that is not what is happening, he is going for the God/Virgin Mary angle for some reason.

It’s almost like he is the descendent of the Symbiote God. If only there was such a thing.

Welllllll shit.

2. Dylan is incorruptible and all-powerful without knowing why or how

Okay, backstory time because I never properly explained Knull, another of Cates shoddy creations. Knull is the galactic god emperor of the Symbiotes who created the Symbiotes as a weapon to rule the galaxy. Aside of the fact that his existence retconned the previous backstories of the symbiote, he has the ability to domesticate the symbiotes and make them subservient to him.

Guess who else has this ability.

Dylan is symbiote Jesus, hallelujah. This explains the Church of Carnage/Knull/Grendel/who gives a shit. He is the true son of Abraham and Carnage is the false prophet of Venom. It’s what Christianity considers Islam to be or some shit and both Dylan and Sleeper are about to nail the 95 thesis on the door of Carnage in the form of the greatest mixtape you ever heard.

Look, I too am astounded of the sentences my mind comes up with when I so thoroughly hate a writing like I hate Donnie Cates’ Venom.

Dylan goes beyond being just a special snowflake that was forcefully and crudely implemented. He is the pre-ordained established opposite of the nature of corruption that Knull created the symbiotes for. To Knull, the symbiotes are his thralls. To Dylan, the symbiotes are his pets. To Knull, the symbiotes are a tool to become omnipresent. To Dylan, the symbiotes are individuals who need to be liberated if good. To Knull, there is no such thing as a good symbiote. To Dylan, there is and it’s Venom or sleeper or what have you. Dylan is the forgotten son and the New Testament for symbiote kind.

And he doesn’t know yet.

Okay, this is a common Mary Sue trait to absolve culpability of a Mary Sue character. It’s to say that they are not to blame for being special. It’s like the writing form of don’t hate me because I’m beautiful except somehow more obnoxious. Dylan’s obliviousness to this what is essentially an entire alien species religious revelation is like trivialized because their prophet is a 12 year old. It’s like waiting for a savior only to be told he is a carpenter.

Imma let that last one just marinate for a minute.

Look, Cates did a lot of rewriting and retconning just for his self-insert to become his favorite series and hero to be the second coming. He created this lore for Venom only for his avatar to be the prophet. The intentionality of his obliviousness to how important this is just glazed over the fact like it isn’t a big deal. Just like Cates glazed over the whole rape and forced impregnation thing because somehow that doesn’t warrant a follow up.

3. Dylan Brock is fanboy Cates

Okay before I begin, self-inserts aren’t bad nor are they inherently Mary-Sues. Kong from Ultimate Spider-Man is Bendis’ self-insert. Boomerang from Amazing Spider-Man was rewritten to be Spencer’s self-insert. JJJ is a self insert for Stan fucking Lee like...self-inserts are great. To the degree that they aren’t unnatural to the narrative or overbearing.

Dylan Brock’s previously stated precociousness comes from the idea that Donnie is writing the inner teenager that he was as a kid reading Maximum Carnage for the first time. And I get it, man, live your truth and all. Like yeah, force and subjugate other fans of this series to your childlike inquiries like how Symbiotes poop, I mean it’s not like their fandom is important or anything.

First Dylan is a fanboy of Venom just like he is. And while that makes sense meta-wise, in-narrative it doesn’t because...okay Venom fans are about to tear me apart for this but it’s like someone being a fan of Ted Bundy. His heroics usually came with a body count is all I’m saying and I doubt it would be praised but then again Wolverine has an in-universe fandom so what do I know. Back on topic, Dylan’s fandom and praise of Venom to get him out of the dark place that is his father’s abusive household.

And this is why it’s so hard to hate him because of all the fucked up shit Cates put in this book, Dylan feels like the one character that is genuine and pure in that innocent kind of way. No one hates Dylan and how could you? We all get it. And it helps that Dylan has a completely different voice than every other Cates has written from every other character. Like I can hear the excitement in his voice when he pesters his hero for questions and I’m reading his words. The idolization is pure when he meets Normie, the god son of Spider-Man, and it creates this dynamic of Spider-Man fans vs Venom fans. It’s fun in a way.

But it’s just that. When Cates writes Eddie, he is not only writing to retell Cates own personal past demons but also in the lens of how he viewed Eddie as this tortured soul who just got the wrong interview from a copycat that costs his job. The second banana of a greater and more prominent hero. Born to the wrong person. That none of what happened to Eddie was his fault or really his doing even when he was at his worst wearing Venom, it was Venom who tempted him.

Dylan is that pre-teen who sees the best in everything Venom is: The dark avenger of the abused and neglected. And I don’t want to speculate whether Cates fits the category or not because that ain’t my business, I can see why Dylan would be a compelling self-insert if it weren’t compounded on top of Cates’ forceful insertion into Venom and subsequently Spider-Man lore.

Like you remember Carly Cooper? Dylan is exactly like Carly Cooper. And this is why I like to think of Cates’ run as the equivalent of One More Day. Cates’ retconned a crucial element of Venom to make Dylan necessary to the core of Venom. He retconned the one thing that made Venom and subsequently Eddie go beyond just being a twisted revenge story.

The erasure of Mary Brock, Eddie’s sister and Eddie’s cancer. One is the motivation and the sole good Eddie has ever known. It’s his motivation to move past is mistakes. And Cates then turns the one bond in the series into something...horrific.

Okay, Dylan replaced his sister and Venom itself. His being becomes Eddie’s motivation to be a better person rather the struggle to see himself as more than his upbringing. It’s like reading Spider-Man and finding out Uncle Ben was on crack. Uncle Ben didn’t die. He faked his death. Yeah, that is what this was. So he could evade taxes or some shit. This is exonerated Eddie in the worst way and turned him into a manipulated pawn of Venom. Let’s completely retcon the marriage of MJ and PeterVenom and Eddie, Cates pitches to editorial.

Dylan becomes more than just some kid who idolizes Eddie. He becomes the sole motivation of Eddie himself now. Eddie’s past is now completely erased or made irrelevant to uplift Dylan’s importance to Eddie. It’s too a point that the Symbiote kids of Venom aren’t Eddie’s kids anymore. It’s like Eddie was in an interracial relationship and the one non-brown baby with blue eyes is his one true kid and others are mulatto chocolate eugenic mishaps or some shit that his ass don’t want to deal with anymore. I mean disowning Carnage I understand but come on?

Cates’ self insert changed the entire nature of the series. And for what purpose? To give Venom a legacy just as Peter has one. And that is the problem with Dylan.

What about MORE jason and dick headcanons? They're my favorite batbros

Yes of course

Jason is taller than Dick. Dick hates this fact.

Theyre both trans and when bruce does something stupid at a gala they like to go "ugh cis people."

You know in one version of canon dick has an uncle who was injuried very badly and permently in the fall that killed the rest of the grayson?

Yeah well Dick took Jason to go meet him. It wasnt until after Jason came back from the dead did dick take any of his other siblings

Jason is the only one fluent enough in the Romani language to hold a long convo with dick only speaking in that (tho damian's getting there)

Theyre either ride or die

Or "no officer ive never seen this man before in my life"

Once they had a contest to see who could drink a 2 liter of Pepsi faster

They both failed but jason drank more

If dick sees jason smoking he cuts the end of the cigarette off with a pair of scissors

The amount of times they have pushed or thrown each other off of buildings or bridges is ridiculous

Dick has a list of dumb shit jason has done since before jason even died

Have you ever noticed that ( TIMOTHY DRAKE-WAYNE ) from the ( DC UNIVERSE ) looks a lot like ( CHARLES MELTON )? But ( HE ) also go/goes by ( RED ROBIN ). Having the ability to/of ( GENIUS LEVEL INTELLECT, EXPERT MARTIAL ARTIST ) sure makes them a force to be reckoned with. Rumour has it they are ( 22 ) and is working as a ( STUDENT). (ooc; king, he/him, 23, est)

THE BASICS

full name: timothy drake-wayne

dc universe

based off of the dc comics

species: human

age: 23

gender: cis male

pronouns: he/him

sexuality: homosexuals

affiliations: Young Justice (leader), Titans (affiliated), Teen Titans (affiliated), Justice League, BatFamily (Adopted Family)

he has a love-hate relationship with Damian.

currently: still doing the vigilante thing, a student at NYU, and being the GOOD SON. (yeah i said it)

fc: charles melton

TIMELINE:

everything for him is canon, in the comics, so feel free to message me if you are connected to him through the comics or have plots that differ in other medias that he is featured in too.

By the age of nine, Drake exhibited a genius level intellect and had deduced the identities of Batman and Robin as Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson, after witnessing a gymnastic maneuver by Robin that he previously saw Grayson display in the Haly Circus

Inspired by the heroes' exploits, Tim trained himself in martial arts, acrobatics, detective skills, and scholastics to better himself both physically and intellectually. When Tim reached the age of thirteen, he saw that Batman had grown reckless and violent following the second Robin (Jason Todd)'s murder.

After his mother's death and his father's paralysis, Drake decided to intervene and Batman eventually enlisted him as the third Robin.

batman was reluctant after jason’s death, but tim proved himself - batman put him through hell of a regimen for training, sent him to various teachers around the world for a solid year, and upgraded the Robin uniform and equipment before allowing Tim to work beside him.

Over the years, he worked not only as Batman's partner on the streets of Gotham City, but also worked with other teenage vigilantes/heroes. Though he started off as the leader of the team known as Young Justice, eventually he followed in the Dick Grayson's footsteps in helping found a new generation of Teen Titans.

Following the deaths of his father in Identity Crisis, his best friend Superboy (Kon-El) in Infinite Crisis, and the presumed death of his friend Stephanie Brown in Batman: War Games, Drake was relocated to Blüdhaven, the city where Nightwing fights crime, for a period of time in order to escape the "ghosts" of Gotham City and to stay close to his stepmother Dana Winters who was admitted into a Blüdhaven clinic after going into psychological shock over Jack Drake's murder at the hands of Captain Boomerang.

Tim Drake was then given another redesign of the Robin costume with a red and black color scheme. The colors are those of Superboy's costume,

After an event known as Final Crisis seemingly led to the death of Batman at the hands of Darkseid, Tim was seemingly the only person who believed that Bruce Wayne might still be alive.

After Dick Grayson took the mantle of Batman and gave Damian Wayne the role of Robin, Tim left Gotham City.

He donned the costume of Red Robin and began his search for Bruce, following a trail of clues around the world, and getting some unexpected assistance from Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins along the way.

this is where I get creative

he still goes by red robin, when in disguise.

he still lives in the wayne manor, but not bothered by it since he feels included when he does have all his brothers around or have small talks with alfred.

he is currently enrolled in a computer engineering major, criminal justice major, and taking culinary arts classes. doesn’t know if he wants to follow in dick grayson’s footsteps with being in law enforcement or venture out to something on his own.

leader of the young justice team.

trying to find a cool weapon - he loves the bo staff, but is thinking of ways to enhance it.

i think thats all i got for now.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

BatFamily!! Bruce, Dick, Jason, Damian, Stephanie, Cassie, ALFRED, all of the above. He wants connections with them hard. They are his new family and he loves them to hell and back even if he feels inadequate to them at times.

KON-EL. I am a sucker for TIMKON, but if now we can settle for them being besties, but tim will look so fight us.

Young Justice. He is the leader of this team and he wants it here.

friends? – he may not have many, since he is kinda reserve, but I think some to have would be great. maybe even a close friend (could be from marvel or oc) that he’s showed around the Wayne Manor.

foes – i am sure he has a million from being red robin and from being bruce wayne’s son

exes – we could all use these connections.

1. What’s your first and second most common work ratings?

general audiences (212) and teen and up audiences (125).

2. What’s your most common archive warning? Least common? Do you consider yourself an adventurous writer?

most: creator chose not to use archive warnings (428)

least: no archive warnings apply (2)

uhhhhh so lowkey just realizing this now but i’m pretty sure i never fully grasped the understanding of what “creator chose not to use archive warnings” mean because it really should be “no archive warnings apply”. i’m nowhere as wild as my poor tagging implies.

3. How many fics have you written in each relationship category? Is this more accidental, or do you have preferences?

M/M (277), Gen (118), Multi (42), F/M (35), F/F (18), Other (7). i mean, it’s called setsailslash for reasons ;)) but hoping to continue to write more OT3s to bump that multi relationship category up though.

4. What are your top 4 fandoms by numbers? Are you still active in any of them, and do you tend to migrate a lot?

pacific rim (160), white collar (69), DCU (61), x-men (43)

lmao i can actually retrace my fandom history and it goes: x-men, white collar, pacrim, and now DCU.

5. What are your top 4 relationship tags? Does this match how you feel about the characters, or are you puzzled?

Erik Lehnsherr/Charles Xavier (39)

Peter Burke/Neal Caffrey (38)

Chuck Hansen/Hercules Hansen (35)

Chuck Hansen & Hercules Hansen (27)

Dick Grayson/Jason Todd (26)

so i threw in that last one since i figured having both chuck/herc and chuck&herc was a bit of a cop-out and also bc jaydick is basically eating up all my words. but yeah, there are absolutely no surprises here, i sure like my dash of frenemies for life, totally appropriate handler-CI relationships, ‘cest, and pseudo ‘cest.

6. What are your top 2 most used additional tags, and your bottom 2? What would happen if you combined all 4 of these into a fic?

Top Two: drabble (108) and father/son incest (33)

Bottom Two: canon compliant (14) and canonical character death (9)

all four combined is basically the basis of any of my herc/chuck fic because i’m predictable like this, and now i’m drowning in some good ol’team daddy issues feels.

7. How many WIPs do you have currently running on AO3? Any you don’t plan on finishing?

proud to say: 0 :D but one of these days, i hope to achieve a fic that isn’t just a one shot.

tagging: @crookedspoonfic, @fleet-of-red, @ohhaiguise, @phoenix-angel-suyari, @sidhwen, @catalogercas, anyone else i missed and all of those writerly peeps that see this :DD
