EVERYONE, hear me out please
fanon tim has been sort of... obliterated, which is pretty normal when you have people who like to push hurt/comfort to the limit. no hate. however, we shouldn't just shove the idea that tim has troubles away just because he isn't characterized all too well in some fanfictions.
tim drake's parents left him alone a lot. they (at least his father) had high expectations of him, causing him to have to mature faster. that much is seemingly canon. in canon, his parents were overly terrible to him like you might find in a classic trope (because it doesn't work that way), but what we see of his dad certainly wasn't all too great. it's complicated!
that being said, he is still a goofy and dramatic child overall. he, like everyone, has his lows and weak moments, but his demeaner early on as robin is often a little bright-eyed.
as for his relationship with bruce- it's tense. bruce is still grieving. tim is still grieving. bruce tries to hold tim at arm's length, but he can't help but to try and parent the kid more than his own father had. at least, from what im reading. i just barely wrapped up the whole contagion stories for tim's robin days.
regarding this screencap from a comic volume i dont remember, tim actively separates his life from robin's life. his school and social life are in pieces. his robin life is messy and bruce is difficult to work with. tim is trying to do his job, but it's hard and he gets into moods about them, because him claiming to hate himself isn't a one-time thing if i can recall correctly.
tim drake struggles to be a teenage boy and enjoy time with his girlfriend. he doesn't see much of his friends and his grades are plummeting. this is a good thing to write sad-tim over, because if you remember being tim's age, grades and friends are your life. those two things are why you get out of bed and do things.
tim as robin has several 'im going to die' experiences that he fightfully freaks out over. those are fabulous things to write about, even if the senario is totally fabricated and youve never touched a comic.
all this being said, i could still be wrong and/or missing things. i just wanted to put my little ideas out there regarding tim fics, because all he needs is a little work to be written interesting (to me lol). feel free to add one, because again, im still a baby in this fandom.
everything about dick having long hair just feels so wrong, there's no winning lmao
there are so many different possiblities for him to have good-looking hair and have it longer than average, but if someone has seen one, please let me know.
dude, the excitement on tim's face is just- wow. if you didn't think he liked bruce wayne, id say think again.
(dick's hair is a crime. i huge crime. yikes. he should try tying it up c; )
I couldn’t help myself and rewrote this scene, doing my best to nail Tim’s character but still make him react to his mom’s death like a young child. You can find it here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30682937/chapters/75709541
While doing so, I decided to just start writing little TimBits from comics and fanon for fun, so hop over the and request something if you feel :>
REDBIRD REDBIRD
but for real, this blows for tim. im kind of surprised people dont use this plotpoint in fanfiction more often.
not to get anyone's hopes up, but keep your eyes peeled for the next ~10 years because my life goal is to take some creative role in a dc movie or tv show containing tim drake as a major character.
is this incredibly cocky? absolutely, but im making this post so that it will either age poorly or fantastically.
listen, i have to work for something big in life, so let me be cocky this once.
tim, friend, why are you making me so sad? why are you so relentless?
dude, i mean, poor tim! he's so badass, yes, but he also has feelings and if my prior posts weren't obvious enough, i am very touchy feely. that's who i am.
as a side note, i was thinking of reading some damian based comics if anyone has any recommendations. i don't know his character too well and i want something that represents him well
I DID THIS! i am SO late to the pose party, but this is my first full piece of digital art. i hate it, i am very proud of myself and still kind of like it!
THIS is why i love tim drake. he's determined and wants to do good. sometimes he worships the ground batman stands on, but more often than not, he can pick out bruce's faults.
also, tim feeling like he isn't close to batman IS canon. would you look at that
connor acting remotely domestic cracks me up. how sweet :>
BRUCE OH MY GOD HE WAS SLEEPING LIKE A BABY WHY DID YOU WAKE HIM UP??
i try not to be that much of a vulgar person (my friends would laugh if they saw me try and claim that) but when people scare me awake, i swear to god i can't help it.
i relate to tim's 'jeeze' a lot.
also, tim admitting he got scared? this will probably be the last time i see that sort if vulnerability :<
what a shame. still, bruce! he was sleeeeping!
more dick & tim. more tim being a little rat boy
brothers :)
i used to blog about comic books, but my latest project has been selling my cute lil stickers!
