Love that Tim Drake is the kind of person who's entire life is on fire and he's like yes. A list will fix this. And then generates the most depressing list the world has ever scene while like, 90's skateboarding shredder music plays in his brain because he's soooo nailed it and this is totally gonna fix his life this time.
I know that I said in another post that Tim doesn't care about Damian being cruel to him.
But what if it mattered to in a other way.
As in: he knows that he is the only "safe" punching bag in their family for Damian to let his emotions out.
Is it healthy? No. But Tim is also the kid that blackmailed and adopted a grown as man as his tamagotchi.
He sees so much of post Jason Bruce in him that he thinks that he could "fix him".
Tim also knows that his little brother would have a mental breakdown if he attacked Bruce, dick or godforbid Alfred in the way he attacks him.
I think that he blows up one of ras bases whenever Damian does try to "hurt" him, as payback for traumatizing his little stinky brother
Something that Tim Drake “superfans” need to learn how to accept is that the batfam doesnt revolve around Tim and Tim can and has done wrong. Coming from a Tim fan myself, this has been a huge issue in the batfam fandom and it plays a lot into other characters mischaracterization.
Yes, Bruce trained Tim a little harsher than the others, but that was after his son was brutally murdered. Bruce was trying to keep Tim safe.
Yes, Damian attacked Tim, but before that, Tim made fun of Damian and borderline insulted him before they even knew each other.
Yes, Jason did attack Tim in Titans Tower, but Jason had also believed that he had been replaced and discarded the moment he died.
Yes, Dick gave Robin to Damian, but in Dicks eyes, Tim was spiraling and cracking under his grief and couldnt be Robin anymore for his own mental health.
No, Dick didn’t threaten to send Tim to Arkham.
No, Jason didn’t ever call Tim Replacement (it was pretender, which is arguably worse but okay).
No, Damian is not a heartless creature who only wants to remove Tim.
Call Tim a sad coffee obsessed boy or whatever you want, but don’t butcher other characters just to put him on a pedestal.
Riddler: Riddle me this boy-
Riddler: Batman?
Batman!Dick: Yes?
Riddler: Who the fuck is this?
Batman!Dick: This is Robin.
Riddler: Obviously. But he’s different. He’s all scowly. Where’s the fun one, who likes my riddles?
Batman!Dick: He’s taking some PTO. Can we get on with this?
Riddler: No.
Batman!Dick: What? Why not!
Riddler: Well I would but it wouldn’t be very fair. See the riddles I had for tonight were kind of specific to a couple of past games me and the other one had done.
Batman!Dick: What you never did that for me when I was Robin-
Riddler: Yes well it just wasn’t as fun with you.
Batman!Dick: So what, are you going to just let the hostages go?
Riddler: Well I guess. I’ll have to come up with something different, we can reschedule.
Batman!Dick: So what, do we just take you back to Arkham or-
Riddler: *shrugs* That’s fine. I’ll just table this one for when he gets back.
I love it when Scott tries to sound cool and rebellious to impress people. He's so cute
And just like I know that my brother has never been able to operate on my level.

CHERIK EDIT - APT 💗💗
reposting my edit on my tumblr acc
My tiktok is in my name😋
im surprised you guys dont know about the pop mart mystery boxes! you can get them open beforehand and only get the characters you want, BUT LOOK AT THEM!
here's a link for you guys
im so getting redhood next and barbara too
I'm gonna start by saying that if you have your opinion on these, it's totally okay! And if you want to include these ideas in fanon, that's fine too. This is only for people who wanna know more about canon, or those who may accidentally be spreading wrong information. I'm not a big comic reader, so do lmk if my research is incorrect, please.
"Tim Drake is/was the CEO of Wayne Enterprises. " This is actually incorrect, Tim Drake was never the CEO of Wayne Enterprises! I think he is a majority shareholder from what various people have told me. Lucius Fox is the CEO. Tim might play some part, I'm not sure, but not the CEO.
"Dick Grayson was a bad brother to Jason Todd." Dick may not have been the best brother as he wasn't around much, but he definitely wasn't horrible. Although he was still upset with Bruce, he actually gave Jason advice on being Robin when they stole the Batmobile together. They had their issues throughout their lives for sure. But Dick was actually really upset when Jason died because no one had told him. He wasn't even able to attend his funeral because he was in space and when he came back he had to figure it out himself.
"Tim Drake is addicted to coffee." I get where this is coming from, but there are very few references of Tim actually drinking much coffee, let alone being addicted to it haha. But, since this headcanon was so popular, it was adopted in the Wayne Family Adventures webtoon comic. I do think he is a workaholic, maybe a little like Bruce, but I'm not sure since I don't read about him much and he's pretty excluded in movies/shows.
Nicknames. Specifically "replacement". Jason actually NEVER called Tim replacement. He did call him pretender, but replacement is used so commonly that people think it's canon. I guess I can see where it's coming from. Other nicknames that are popularly used by fans may be canon but aren't used that often. "Little Wing" was used by Dick to Jason in Nightwing: Year One when Jason was Robin. I don't think it's been used again, but it is super cute. "Jaybird" is not something Dick or Bruce call Jason, it's only used by Roy Harper, seriously sometimes people forget he exists. There are many other nicknames like these ofc but there are way better posts to explain these (I may have reblogged one, so check it out).
5. Some Dick Grayson info that isn't canon but is popularly used in fanon and is pretty cute: Zitka. The elephant Zitka is definitely canon, and actually, I looked it up and there are some adorable panels on these two omg. So yes, he had an elephant named Zitka in the circus who he cared for a lot, but no he does not have an elephant stuffed toy no matter how cute that may be. He is also not addicted to cereal just as Tim isn't addicted to coffee, but a fellow commenter informed me it is his favorite food! One thing I've noticed though is if fans see something in one panel, they make it a huge deal lol. Another popular one is that Dick and Bruce fought a lot in front of Jason. They didn't. They definitely avoided each other and were going through a rough patch but they seldom yelled at each other in front of Jason. So yeah, idk what's up with that.
DAMN. You made it to the end, congratulations, and good job because you have a lot of patience. That's all for now, my fingers are cramping :( . Feel free to ask some questions below, or correct me if I'm wrong! Thanks for reading!

Forever crying over Jack Drake. That man loved his son and i HATE what the fandom made him out to be.
Jack Drake who used his last words to not only tell his son he loved him, not only to find someone to care for his son, not only to remind him that his mother loved him too, not only to admit the work he does is worth it, but also to tell him that it is not his fault.
Jack Drake who knew his son, his precious boy who gave up his childhood to help people, would feel guilt if he didnt save him.
Jack Drake who knew he was to die, and could only think of his sons safety.
