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

tim being insecure about his age will always crack me up, but it also makes me sad because he wants to be taken seriously and become an adult, but he never truly gets to act his age.

tim and jack's relationship is so peculiar. people should write about it more often ;D

more jack and tim interactions. they hurt, man

steph is something special

im having a hard time bwing enthusiastic about comics right now. my state (in the US) is just a joke, and it's restricting women's rights. i am a gen z! i am not used to this behavior! things were supposed to be better, not worse with time! everything feels like one step forward, two steps backwards.

ahem, anyways. steph. that's high praise coming from Big Man himself.

well, this is unfortunate.

good luck, bud.

well, i *wanted* to leave a comment, but his ass is covering like 1/3 of a keyboard and screen. sorry lmao

(have baby tim and baby jason. i may be biased (i wrote it), but i think you should check it out)

bruce, please stop making that face. you are scaring me

also, that's an emotionallu loaded panel for sure. this is while tim is missing in europe and jack drake is worried about his son. bruce starts to notice the emotional turmoil tim has to go through.

wonderful

(context: tim is missing in europe? for a mission after a fight with his dad, who thinks tim ran away)

i really want to be mad at jack, but he's not completely terrible, just like he isn't really all that great either.

he somewhat behaves like a father who didn't really want children, but now that he has one that needs him the most, he's struggling to be the dad tim needs.

his internal dialogue says 'timbo', i am overjoyed. what a wonderful nickname.

also, he is a huge high school dreamboy. smart, popular, still a nerd outcast, and gets all the girls.

little does he know he will soon get the boys too... in my pitiful headcanons, at least.

yeah, jack drake sucks, but he's still human. it's infuriating and incredible.

i mean, one of the hardest things in life best picture of someone you don't like doing normal, human things that prove they're more than just what you don't like.

additional tim drake misery for your tastes

what's that? conflict? mmmm yes give me more.

i could go into why jack drake isn't the greatest dad, but this panel speaks for itself lol

look at him, being a teenager. don't you love it?

New Timbits chapter out! Chapter 7!

return of tim, the drama queen. dislocated his thumb to free himself

i was thinking, 'oh poor steph has to deal with his dramatic tendencies', but then i remembered she was just as dramatic

you'll never catch tim without a zesti lmao

me too, tim. except, i drink those godly spindrifts. so good.

this feels very progressive for the time it was made. i really enjoyed this. you really get a feel for ariana and tim and how they are just children.

i think this was handled very well.

if you ever think that tim is cold and unfeeling, think again!

the whole 'help ives' situation was very cute. it's fun to see tim's interactions with friends

timmy boy you have excellent music taste

impeccable

"manomanomanoman..."

i seriously love tim's wacky high school adventures lmao

more tired tim for your weary soul

TIMBIT CHAPTER 7 (timbits are individual oneshots)

Tim is dying of The Clench. 

His condition is rapidly decreasing and Alfred doesn't know how he, Dick, or Bruce will ever be able to handle another loss. 

find it here! https://archiveofourown.org/works/30682937/chapters/76730690

i’m mighty proud of this one :D

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.

steph may not be my first pick for tim, but goddamn are they hilarious together

bruce certainly isn’t perfect, but he isn’t terrible either. i think one of the fandom’s difficulties in writing bruce is that he isn’t just good dad or bad dad.

now, im not saying i write him perfectly, but i really do try and get the layers of his relationships down. 

it’s so obvious that bruce cares a whole bunch. he loves his kids (i just sort of ignore the bad-bruce-characterization in some comics lol). the small interactions and chats of batman and robin get these across wonderfully. it’s a shame that some comics completely reduce these soft moments through poor writing. 

i got into dc through fanfiction, but the more comics i read, the more i just fall in love with the fandom. the way tim acts older than he is- the way he tries, but there’s always something deeper simmering within- it’s so incredibly. 

also, the whole contagion story line? is that just completely unexplored by the fanfiction community? because ohh-my-god it has amazing potential and i’ve never seen anything work with it other than half-heartedly addressing it. 

so yeah, im writing a little oneshot for it lol

tired boy stikes again

ives in the background lmao

"you fricking clown"

as a side note, i actually really like tim's hair in these. the middle part always makes him identifiable to me. maybe its just because of red robin, but i like it nonetheless.

tim has been choked quite a few times early in his career as robin. poor kid

he's had several near death experiences, each as painful as the previous. makes me so sad D:

"timbo"

timbo timbo timbo. his name, say it. timbo.

timbo

i wish catwoman would drag me by the cape across a roof
