Bernard Dowd - Blog Posts

So, your a young blond guy who comes from a rich family, but your parents don’t really pay that much attention to you, have high expectations and expect you to take over the family company. You’re dating a raven haired guy who, compared to being an only child yourself, has a lot of siblings. Your boyfriend also went out with a blond girl for a while, but that didn’t work out.

Which one are you?

Bernard Dowd or Cooper Bradford

Dick: You know that there is nothing you could say that we will get mad at.

Tim, panicking: Yeah, yeah. I know that.

Jason: there is very clearly some stuff you can say that we will get mad at. Don’t believe him. He’s a liar.

Damian: I get mad at you for even breathing. I don’t know what you expect.

Tim, inhaling deeply: You know how I broke up with Bernard so I could date Kon again?

Dick: Absoluetly. Yeah.

Jason, nodding: That was very hard for you.

Tim, nodding also: Yeah, that actually never happened.

Dick: What do you mean?

Tim: I’m still dating Bernard.

Dick: What do you mean?

Tim: I’m dating both of them and neither one of them knows it and I feel terrible about it.

Damian, absolutely cracking up.

Jason, staring blankly.

Dick: But Bernard is gone.

Tim, shaking his head.

Dick: What do you mean?

Tim: He’s not gone.

Jason, snickering with Damian. Both of them dying.

Dick: So you broke up with Kon—

Tim: I didn’t break up with either of them.

Dick: What do you mean?

Tim: You process this however you need to process this. If you want to keep talking it out—

Dick, grabbing Tim by the shoulders: Which one are you dating?

Tim: Both.

Jason and Damian rolling on the ground.

Dick, shaking Tim: Are you dating Kon?

Tim: I’m dating Kon.

Dick, still shaking Tim: Are you dating Bernard?

Tim: Yes.

Jason, wheezing: How do you do that?

Tim: They made me choose!

Dick: You have to choose!

Jason and Damian still choking.

Dick: You can’t have both men!

Tim: What was I supposed to do?

Dick: What, you think you can have a bunch of boyfriends?!

Jason and Damian wheezing: …

Tim: …

Dick: You get one boyfriend!

Tim, looking down at his shoes: …

Dick: That’s the way the world works!

Tim: Why!?

Dick, shaking his head: I don’t know.

Tim: I feel terrible about this. I don’t know what to do.

Dick: How could you do this to Kon?

Tim: I don’t know, I feel really badly about it!

Jason, slapping Damian’s back: In your little brain, how do you see this playing out?

Tim: I see it playing out badly.

Damian, wheezing again.

Tim: I see it playing out very, very badly. But you know what, I just… I want to thank you though. Just for being here for me.

Dick: No.

Tim: And for listening to me.

Dick: We’re not listening to you and we’re not here for you.

Tim, ignoring him: Because now we’re in this together.

Dick, pointing: We’re not in this together. And we’re not listening and we’re not being there, so stop telling us things!

Jason and Damian, still cracking up.

Dick, shaking his hands: What do you want me to do with this information!?

Tim: Well, it really helped me to tell you. You should tell somebody,

Dick: I can’t.

Tim: Get it off your chest,

Dick: I can’t.

Tim: You know what I mean?

Dick, crossing his arms: Who? Who would I tell?

Tim: Well, certainly not Bruce. Maybe Wally.

Dick: …

Tim: Don’t ever tell Bruce.

Tim, introducing his boyfriend to his best friend: Kon, this is my boyfriend, Bernard.

Bernard: Hi!

Tim: Bernard, this is my best friend Kon.

Kon, who just found out his crush is into dudes and got friendzoned in the same conversation, internally dying: …

Kon: Hi.

Tim Drake being a SKATER BOY

I find this so funny. Like I can definitely imagine Tim skating int battle and decking some goon in the face with his board. Also, I think it would be so funny if Bernard were to find out Tim is Robin by the way he skates just like Tim found out Dick was the first Robin because of the way he could flip. Like Bernard and Tim go on dates to the skate park and one day Robin saves Bernard and does a skate board trick that Bernard has seen Tim do multiple times and he’s just like “OMG TIM!?”

And Tim’s embarrassed that he got found out the same way that Dick got found out by him, so he just tells that family that he told Bernard.

The family groupchat when Tim announced he was dating Bernard.

Tim: family

Tim: I have an announcement

Bruce: Aren’t you in class?

Dick: aren’t you in a meeting?

Bernard, pitching a theory to Tim and his family: … therefore, since Batman and Bruce Wayne clearly having something going on, Batman has to be Clark Kent, because he and Bruce Wayne are pretty flirty.

Bats: …

Tim, loving to see his boyfriend excited and loving to cause chaos: Okay, fair enough, but where does Superman fall into this?

Bernard, literally vibrating: okay so—
