Damian Abused Tim And None Of Yall Are Talking About It

why accidental stab self?

I can't tell if this is a healthy distraction because I am stabbing myself but it's not on purpose

"DICK GREW UP AS AN ONLY CHILD AND GOT HIS FIRST SIBLING AFTER HE WAS A FUCKING ADULT! HE DOES NOT HAVE ELDEST DAUGHTER SYNDROME AND HE IS NOT THE SIBLINGEST OF SIBLINGS!!" i scream as they drag me back to arkham

ofc you have permission! i am currently struggling with writers block so i cant :(

I just had an Idea. What if Damian met Tim during the time he was training with Lady Shiva? I’m like 90% sure Damian trained with her at some point, and I know for sure that Tim did. So what if they met through her?

then when Damian ends up in Gotham he recognizes Tim not as Robin but as lady shiva’s apprentice. I imagine it would go smth like this:

Tim, opening the door: Hi

Damian: Timothy?

Tim: Damian???

Damian: Why are you here?

Tim: I live here. Damian: *shocked murder baby noises*

had art block so i doodled my favorite OC

meet Anesidora Payne!

hey. hi. so.

might be a little obsessed with Tim Drake. this is not new. what is new, however, is the idea of timothy jackson drake being raised as a shield.

you know how some children are raised as weapons? that sucks. but weapons have a use. they're sharp, they're dangerous. sometimes they're respected in some capacity. some people have emotional attachments to their weapons. a weapon is valued for the threat that it is simply by being. a weapon is valued for the damage it can do. and that sucks. but a weapon is valued, pretty much automatically, because a weapon has a purpose.

but shields? their entire purpose is someone else. a shield is worthless without someone to shield. a shield is used until it breaks, and then it's immediately replaced. a shield is valued as long as it's stable, as long as it takes the hits meant for someone else. a shield is valued until it takes too many hits and it breaks. no one will repair that broken shield. it's never going to be as stable as it used to be. better to just get a new one.

anyways. tim drake is a shield, not a sword. at first he was shielding his parents reputation. then he was shielding Batman, both his reputation and his health- mental and physical. and he never stopped. he spent a year with the league of assassins to protect batman. to rescue him.

and when he gets back from that year? he's shielding Bruce by taking the brunt of work at WE.

to conclude: tim was raised as a shield instead of a child and i can't stop thinking about it.

pro tip:

for titles, shamelessly steal song lyrics. works 100% of the time. you just gotta find a lyrics that works. don't be afraid if the rest of the song doesn't match. that one lyrics is all you need.

for summaries, just copy and paste a couple paragraphs from the story. it doesn't even matter if they properly describe what happens. just add a melodramatic "OR.... (simplistic two sentence description of what happens)"

works every time.

writing is hard but coming up with a cunty title and catchy summary will slay even god's strongest soldier

ao3 is being slow lately and its pissing me off because there’s a 50/50 chance when i click “kudos” nothing happens like let me appreciate a fic smh

screaming crying throwing up my favorite author just followed me i feel blessed is this what it's like to be chosen by the gods?

@theresamouseinmyhouse hi :)

We’re fanfic writers, we stare at a wall imagining beautiful prose for hours before writing precisely one sentence, getting writer’s block, and flopping to the floor in defeat.

We're fanfic writers, we spend hours researching an incredibly niche topic we know nothing about so that we can have one sentence be factually correct

"forfrodo"

wise words, very wise words

TIL Dr. Sigmund Freud was addicted to smoking and failed to quit for good throughout a 45 years long battle that included 33 operations for cancer of the jaw, an artificial jaw replacement, and attacks of “tobacco angina” exacerbated by nicotine . He was known to smoke up to twenty cigars a day.
