ROUND 1: POLL #41
ROUND 1 POLLS [HERE]
PROPAGANDA BELOW
Timothy "Tim" Drake/Bernard Dowd:
Tim and Bernard getting together is historical, marking a change in the direction of comics. For a long time, DC has been playing it safe, usually making background and minor characters queer, or introducing characters with their queerness as a plot point. Tim is not only a major character, but one of the most popular in the lineup, and was generally treated as VERY straight for most of his history. So putting him in a relationship with another man was a loud way of pushing comics in a more progressive direction like they were earlier in their existence. Not only that, but Bernard was NOT a love interest invented for this role, but an established character from earlier in Tim's story, one who was not only conceived of as straight, but behaved aggressively sexually towards women and only women. By stating that he had a crush on Tim at the time, it reframes what was a pretty common type of joke in the era into terms that are easier to understand and sympathize with as a queer person, woman, or any other comics reader that isn't thought of as the default. It gives the story a lot more depth, and opens possibilities of complex queer readings of earlier works through this lens.
Pat/Pran:
they are the best childhood friends-to-enemies-to-lovers except it's actually childhood rivals-to-secret childhood friends-to-rivals-to-secret friends-to-lovers. like they do it all. romeo and juliet style deal that they're families hate each other and they're meant to hate each other too but they're just two kids who live next door and they can never fully get on board with what their parents want for them. they have hands down THE BEST first kiss in the history of television. like it's insane nobody has come close to this before or after
they are unparalleled and if you haven't watched Bad Buddy you're missing out

People say it’s rushed, I choose to think that the minute Colin kissed Penelope, he realized he cannot live without her in his life. And not as a friend, but as a partner. As a lover. As his forever. The minute he realized his feelings for Penelope, he couldn’t let her go. I honestly think if he was to yearn for any more eps, he would die. I mean literally. His heart wouldn’t be able to take someone who wasn’t him courting Penelope. You call it rush, I call it being all consumed by your best friend and being stupid to realize it too late
