The Concept For This Was Entirely By @zippyyyyyyy After A Convo We Had About This Post:

this is so unbelievably funny to me, less than 0.01% of people are willing to besmirch alfred

I understand that the Red Robin run has us all in a chokehold, but I think we sometimes miss the forest for the trees. What makes it truly tragic isn't the fact that Tim is a really depressed and anxious person, but the opposite. Tim is a nerd who loves friendship and justice. He has tons of friends and contrasts a post-Jason Bruce who is withdrawn and depressed by being very outgoing and personable. That's his whole thing as a character, he exists to act as a liaison between Batman and the world.

When Red Robin starts, his father has just died, his best friend has just died, his girlfriend has just died, his mentor and some other friends have disappeared from the map, his older brother is juggling the Batman mantle and a poor ten yo Damian that has just lost his father. This is Tim at his worst mentally. He's a character built on interaction and he has no one to interact with. Add to it his canonical mental health issues, well the guy is going through it.

He pours his entire soul into the search for Bruce because he needs a fucking win. The man is spiraling the entire run. The true angst of Red Robin is not that he's a sad little mew mew, but that he isn't. We come to know him as this little guy who loves making friends and forcing Bruce to open up to others, and now we have to see him alone and desperate. He's very similar to Dick in that aspect, the drama hits you harder because you know how he is normally. And the parallels to Bruce at the start of his run as Robin are just brutal: someone wrecked by grief, alone, pouring all their energy and focus into work as an escape... And even in the middle of his crash out arc, he still ends up making friends. That's who Tim Drake is, and that's why he acts like that after losing so many people he holds dear.

The real reason Tim has such a hatred for Damian is that Alfred refused to let him keep his cat but Damian gets a whole ass zoo

some tim drake hair styles throughout his years! i am partial to RR and my "older tim" styles.. give him his luscious pin straight hair

also i dub tim as yellow which is why his eyes in the domino are yellow and not blue (-:

Batman but it’s things my friends have said <3

People will have Dick acting too nice to his siblings sometimes. Never forget that Tim thought Dick was buried under a bunch of rubble, and Dick took a hot minute to observe Tim from his spot up in the rafters before letting Tim know he was alive and well. Cheeky shit even had the gall to tell Tim, "You should see your face. You really looked worried."
