Look At Him Think. So Focused. So Determined.

sure, alfred. only mildly curious.

as a side note, i have this idea that tim only knows anything about sports because he ran out of books to read at the library and just pulled out some historical gotham sports moment books

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

people don't utilize tim drake's sneaky sneakiness enough in fanworks. he's a true bat.

also beast boy is just hilarious. im glad im seeing more of him now that im reading teen titans comics

you gotta wonder is tim's blood is just boiling under his mask of cool.

also bonus bart

ill never get tired of them

(quietly chanting timkon timkon)

alfred is the best grandpa

thank you! i appreciate this a bunch, i dont want to just blindly hate on steph because someone told me to.

my reply to them before i sent the ask was actually “ if you dont like steph, wait until i tell you about bruce wayne “ and someone gave me a wholesome award so i consider that a win in my book lmao

god i sound like a redditor; i was just defending tim drake in the post this was under

hey! how knowledgeable are you on stephanie brown? because i got in a bit of an argument with a dc fan on reddit who claims she's all these awful things, but im still relatively new to steph and i want to see what was true and what wasn't. link to screenie right here: https://ibb.co/vh6CYCJ

these may be matters of opinion, but even then, i'd like to know your take. i haven't read her firsthand often enough and i trust your judgement over this random redditor who seems to have some sort of blonde-woman related trauma left untapped.

I'm not necessarily the most knowledgable on her in the world, but I do know a decent amount because she's one of my absolute faves and I love her

But ohhhh boy that screenshot is a lot.

I will say that several of the things this person brings up are based in canon but are taken in the worst faith and framed in the way that makes her look as bad as possible, if that makes sense? It’s ripping things away from any context, because there's a very clear bias against her here.

I'll go through it point by point under the cut

tim drake and jack drake interactions for your viewing pleasure

baby kon is picking up chicks. baby tim is playing chess.

this has no significance. i just thought it would be cute

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.

pssst, hey, you guys want some timkon queer subtext?

tired boy strikes again

they are sharing a moment!

aaand my favorite.
