I love Tim and Dick’s relationship in canon and I really wish it was explored more in fanfic. But it feels like it gets thrown aside in favor of making Tim and Jason besties, often to the point where fics will villainize Dick and it makes me so sad. This being said, there’s a similar problem with modern comics as well, where Dick and Tim are thrown aside for Dick and Damian. Don’t get me wrong I do love them, I just wish DC could highlight their relationship without forgetting the bond between Dick and Tim. This is a problem I’ve seen a lot with DC. They want to forge a bond between two characters but by doing so they kinda ignore the previous bonds they had. They sorta did the same thing with Jason and Roy.
In my opinion, Dick and Tim have the best relationship of siblings in the batfamily. Tim drops in after Jason’s death. Dick is harboring all this guilt from not really being there a lot. Don’t get me wrong, he tried his hardest, he gave Jason his number, gave him some solid advice, but he was always busy with the Titans. Then Jason died and Dick felt guilty and Tim showed up and Dick wanted to do better for Tim. In a lot of ways, Tim showed Dick what it means to be a big brother. AUGH they’re just so important to me, the way Dick unconditionally supports Tim and the way Tim looks up to Dick is just so MWAH 🤌
Today I told my friends to “beware the ides of March” and they didn’t know what that meant. And then I was like “Julius Caesar was stabbed today, isn’t that exciting” and they just looked at me and asked “How is that exciting” then I got called a nerd by the same two people who were yapping to me about pie day yesterday.
Headcanon that Jason is secretly a huge fan of rom-coms, while Dick loves horror movies.
fanfiction truly being the savior for everyones sanity
The other day on TikTok I saw someone say that Tim is the only Robin Jason considers his brother and that’s just??? Not true??? So here are some moments between Dick and Jason to prove!
I tried to find some stuff on Damian and Jason but I couldn’t find much other than that panel where Damian tricks Jason by hugging him. Please DC let them have some sort of moment, I beg.
Honestly I do love the dynamic between Tim and Jason but a lot of it IS fanon! While I would love for their relationship to be better explored it lacks the depth that I feel Dick and Jason have (only because I feel like we don’t get enough of them in canon) Honestly Tim just needs character development. Let him age PLEASE.
tim drake would beat your ass if he heard what you all say about dick grayson
Y’all remember when Jason missed Dick so he dressed up as Nightwing and started killing people and then he ended up turning into an octopus?
Headcanon that one time Dick got so pissed off at Bruce that he anonymously told a reporter that Bruce Wayne had a crush on Batman but Batman rejected him.
I wonder how many good fanfictions I'm missing out on just because people don't know how to tag 😔
Dick: I think that I might have some mild trauma.
Batfam: you THINK?!?
Justice League and Young Justice: MIGHT have?!?
Titans: MILD?!?!?
life is so much better when you have a work of fiction to obsess over
