Even Tim Is Aware

steph at it again. you know, being her. confident. smooth.

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.

jesus christ, alf. don't pull your punches, do you?

ive finally started reading young justice, cheers to me!

i love these three .3.

JUNE 2022

Created a collection of all the fics I’ve recc’d this year. Please find it under: The Batfamily 2022 Collection on Archive of Our Own – and if you’re an author I’ve recommended in the past, please check your collection invites, you may find a little invitation there.

This month also marks six months of consecutive Batfamily recommendations on my blog! 🎉 I hope to continue strong into next year! Thank you all for liking and reblogging my recommendations, it means so much to me!

Lastly, it was inevitable that the fics of my own this month would include The First Right Choice and Asimov’s Integral - as both these stories were brought to life through the incredible artwork of Ten ( @whizradio ) and Ky ( @ky-landfill ). Please go check out their blogs, they are two incredibly talented artists and I cannot thank them enough for their beautiful, incredibly humbling art.

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

look at him think. so focused. so determined.

man im out of it. at least comics are pretty fun.
