Tim Drake bisexual

[hero talk]

How many straight romances even have that these days? Why does queer narrative have to be hold to a different standard?

yes your right queer stories should be crap why ask for something good

[Shimbo]

yes so the art of good storyteller should die 2021 does not need good stories

Romance and views of sex and sexuality have changed. Why let modern narratives be weighed down by archaic views of romance? At least stuff like Bridgerton attempts to update and modernize such trappings.

Your opinion of a good queer story seems to be no queer story.

jane was just an exampal and again in real life people go out on dates to know the other person in romance stories thats rarely the case in fact in romance movies the main character is often in a relationship with someone else when they meet
there true love

So that means this can't be? You're holding romance stories to some arbitrary story structure. Stories can be told in countless different ways.

what do you mean

[Triniking1234]

If they all write him as a self-insert character.

Not that I necessarily agree with this point but it is possible lol.

You really trying to tell me dozens of writers used conspired to use Tim Drake as a self-insert character for decades?
Even when they killed his mum and his old man and had him tortured by Superman's dad?
Gimme a break, man.

An Austen story was mostly about property and security that women couldn't own unless they married

That was because that was how English common law worked in the 1800s. What they called la feme covert or the doctrine of
coverture. Whatever assets a woman had going into a marriage became immediately controlled by her husband. Unless
her father didn't trust the new son-in-law, in which case they could try and get around that provision. It wasn't easy. Coverture
was only gradually repealed over time.

Yeah, and you only view it as bad because it's not fitting to your arbitrary standards of what a romance story has to be. The story hasn't even had a chance to flesh out and you're already writing it off.

well I've tired to think of something that has drama or surprise but nothing comes to mind do you have any ideas

They could go on a date and decide they don't like each other.
They could go on a date and it ends in disaster.
They could go on a date and it goes amazing but the relationship burns out fast.
They could go on a date and decide they want to take it slow, leading to stories of them discovering more about each other and getting closer.
They could date only for Tim to find out his new boyfriend is holding a secret from him.
They could date, break up and have his ex become his villain out of spite.

Among countless other ideas. You aren't the one writing the story. Just because you don't have any ideas doesn't mean there aren't any ideas out there.

I'm not the one arguing Tim is a boring character.

However, that poster explained why he feels he is and you're not going to convince him otherwise.

I agree this was done to create some sort of distinction for Tim who has suffered greatly in recent years for many reasons. I'm more curious if you're no longer interested in reading the adventures of Tim Drake because he might be queer/be dating another boy?

I didn't say I was the one writing the story
the date will not go badly they will not decide they don't like each other they want to show that tim is bi having them not like each other could put that in to question and they can not leave room for doubt
date and it goes amazing but the relationship burns out fast it not much a story because there not really losing anything
if they were going to take it slow I don't think they would have gone on a date the last two could work
