The Tim Drake Heartthrob Conspiracy – Part 2: A Heartthrob with Loser Rizz

So, Tim Drake is Gotham’s newest heartthrob. Cool, right? Except, well… there’s one tiny problem.

For all the brooding good looks, the sharp jawline, and that mysterious allure that has Gotham swooning, Tim Drake has absolutely no game. Like, zero. Nada. It’s a full-blown mystery how this man, who looks like he belongs on magazine covers, can be such a disaster in the romance department.

It all started with his date after that iconic moment when he rolled into the Batcave in that tailored suit. Everyone expected the night to go smoothly. It was Tim, after all—Mr. CEO, Mr. I-Can-Run-A-Multi-Billion-Dollar-Company. Surely, that would translate to his love life, right?

Wrong.

The next morning, Dick was the first to catch Tim yawning over his third cup of coffee. “Rough night?” he asked with a knowing smirk.

Tim just groaned, “I fell asleep on the rollercoaster.”

Dick blinked. “Wait, you fell asleep? On the rollercoaster?”

Tim sighed, rubbing his eyes. “I hadn’t slept in two days, and it was… kinda relaxing? The adrenaline and all.”

And that was just the beginning.

Steph found out later that Tim had somehow managed to spill soda on his date twice—once while trying to explain a complicated merger (because who doesn’t love business talk on a date?) and then again when he tripped over his own chair. By the end of the night, his date probably thought she was being pranked.

Cass, being Cass, summed it up perfectly: “Tim is Gotham’s biggest heartthrob, but he’s also Gotham’s most awkward date.”

Jason, of course, had to weigh in. “This is the same guy who walked into a glass door because he was distracted by a text.”

Let’s not forget the infamous “flower shop incident.” Tim, trying to be romantic, went to pick up flowers before another date, but things quickly went south. How? Well, let’s just say, when you knock over five vases, trip into a display of roses, and end up covered in petals, it’s hard to look suave.

By the time the Batfam heard about that little misadventure, Damian had had enough. “Drake, how is it that you have the charisma of a plank of wood?”

Still, Tim doesn’t mean to be such a disaster. It’s just, well, life seems to have it out for him when he’s trying to impress someone. He once spent an entire dinner talking about the intricacies of encryption algorithms—his date didn’t even make it to dessert. And don’t even mention the time he thought bringing homemade spreadsheets to a movie date would be cute. (Spoiler: It wasn’t.)

Yet, somehow, despite all of this, the mystery of Tim Drake continues to deepen. People are still thirsting after him. The forums are still buzzing with talk of his “quiet charm” and “endearing quirks.” Even his awkward moments somehow manage to add to his appeal, giving him this relatable, down-to-earth vibe that no one in Gotham can seem to resist.

And so, the Batfamily remains baffled. Tim may be Gotham’s biggest heartthrob, but when it comes to actual dating?

He’s a disaster wrapped in a perfectly tailored suit.

andrew’s definitely gotten in trouble with his pr manager for tweeting things along the lines of:

“no mania inducing medication will compare to the euphoria i will feel the day donald trump drops dead”

[mickeym4ndy]

I know Mickey said he likes them sweet in season 1 and yes this is mostly true because Ian can be very sweet particularly in the early seasons.

but also Mickey never would’ve been so down bad for Ian from the get go if Ian wasn’t also a bit of a messy asshole who was able to give as good as he got and was just as flawed and fucked up as Mickey. and Ian wouldn’t have been as interested in Mickey if Mickey wasn’t also the messy asshole he was. Ian was immediately smitten with the wild angry guy in front of him.

I mean they literally started fucking because they were beating each other up and got turned on by it.

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim clearly lied to his and Jamil’s families about the reason why Jamil overblotted to protect him 

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim defended Jamil against people who wanted to throw him out and took responsibility for being a contributing factor in Jamil’s overblot.

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim had an inkling of a thought that Jamil was using his signature spell on him, and even under Jade’s spell, he didn’t reveal it was Jamil. 

Everyday I think about the fact that Kalim was very willing to just believe that he was blacking out and Jamil wasn’t manipulating him if Jamil just said so. He’d rather believe a lie he knew wasn’t true then acknowledge that the one person he thought he could trust was doing this to him. 

Kalim does not play when it comes to Jamil.

Typical punishments for theft:

"Flogging, followed by imprisonment up to a tenday"

"Hard labour up to a year"

A "fine equivalent to the value of the stolen good/s."

I might be imagining it and do correct me if I'm wrong (maybe it was from EA), but I recall Astarion saying something about death being an unusually harsh punishment for theft and that he would've chosen cutting of Arabella's hand instead. Well, we have a frightened child engaging in theft to help her family. You could sentence her to simply pay off the statue's worth... ooooor-! Let's go for something more permanent and extreme than the precedents would suggest! I mean, flogging and indentured servitude are also bad, but removing a child's limb forever sure is something.

I'm honestly morbidly curious about what exactly he did to piss of the Gur. Between that, this and a comment he makes during the trials looking for Ansur, I get the impression Magister Ancunín seemed to enjoy reaching for the most draconian rulings possible - "Mercy? Please - justice should be a harsh lesson. All the better to deter the next vagabond."

[squorttle-pox]

please. i need alastor with his hair up so we can see the side of his head. second set of ears or smooth flesh prairie?

[softmangoes]

ok but what if kylar was beautiful. what if he had eyes that drew you in like the green jaws of a flytrap to an unsuspecting beetle. what if his mouth would curl into a smile, too late, and too wide. what if his eyes, like shards of glass, never truly focused on anything until they found that they could focus on you. only you.

what if he was nothing else but a sickly prince roaming the halls of a rotting manor, waiting in eager anticipation to finally greet their beloved at the door.

or maybe i've watched this video too many times idk

[thebatmqn]

people would watch the weird things tom would say to greg back in like season one and would be like “why are tom and shiv even together what could they possibly have in common” and then shiv goes and does that weird shoe bit to tom in this ep and it’s like oh so they’re both like that

[carcarrot]

OLD MEN WERE TEMPTING ME...........

[sharkneto]

any particular thoughts on how number would react to delores?

Do I! Do I!

The long and short of it is that Number would fucking hate Delores. She represents too much about how bad things could have been for him and begs for self reflection, which he is not going to do.

She's an immediate shorthand to show how desperate and insane Five got living alone in the apocalypse, with the added level of that Number is also Five. Number is also confident and comfortable in his identity as aroace - been there, tried it, didn't like it, he's good to go. And now here's this alternate version of himself that not only went so far off the deep end that he made up a person to love, but he then made that fake person his wife.

We know the nuance of Five and Delores (at least through my headcanon - Five was 13 when he landed in the apocalypse and had very limited examples and vocabulary for what adult relationships are and mean to build his Person with), but Number absolutely is not going to sit down and listen. He's out, it's too close and too real and makes how close he was to being Five too much. Delores' introduction to us in the show was a real What The Fuck; her introduction to Number would be a true mindfuck. She's where he's drawing his line for Too Far.

this episode was good, great even. then it turned sour really fast.

[cetoddle]

okay what i have to say is lowkey embarrassing but i wanna bitch and it’s probably only embarrassing to me bc im shy about this stuff anyways the moral of the story is i wanna bitch and u should probably just ignore me. god bless

[centipede-legs]

gale has so many things wrong with him, i love him 💕

like after the attack on last light in where they tried to kidnap isobel is so funny to me, like he seriously comes up and is like “that was so scary and you are so violent and covered in blood i need to have sex NOW or i will die, but uhhh yeah WE are gonna have to be patient or something i guess…”

bro got that autistic rizz that my durge cannot resist

like first he says like “you haven’t bathed in weeks and you smell so bad, i need you and desire you carnally for that” and then goes on talking about “near death experiences are so hot, do you know much about blood and lust? if so, do you want to explore it with me? please say yes, i literally have an orb in my chest that might explode”

AND when my character told him that she has the urges, and he straight up is like “oh yeah that’s probably normal? i once wished death upon someone who bought the last copy of a signed first edition book i really wanted” which is so real of him, love that he just does not get it at all

gale is a little autistic traumatized freak of nature and i love him for it

[arggghhhsstuff]

is very much a peter song. dare i say the most peter song ever? i won't go there but it's close.

"oh but it has sirius vibes" noooooo you don't get it. sirius doesn't care about what the wealthy are doing, he is the wealthy! he was born into it and he (in peter's eyes) threw it all away just because he could. peter aspires to that, to that level of carelessness. just look at the first verse:

"The TV's on, the woman's blonde / She talks and talks of how the rich are wrong / They cheat on wives, never pay the price / I'm a low-class guy, that sounds pretty nice" <- exactly peter. my little lower middle-class cynical opportunist mastermind!!

I like to imagine that Mys is actually pretty honest about herself 😭 at least once at the beginning of their relationship Shane was having a particularly bad day and said a bunch of mean things to her.

She took them. Stood up. And then calmly, though she looked like a sad little puppy 🥺, told him well it went like-

Mys: Shane! *runs up and hugs him from behind* oh I can’t wait to tell you about what I found today. *she sits next to him and starts talking about what happened to her in the mines*

Shane:* getting more and more irritated with her by the second* fuck you’re annoying, *sighs heavily* Don’t you ever just shut up?

Mys: *goes silent*

Shane: Yoba must really fuckin hate me if he sent me you. Can’t you take a hint. I don’t want you to talk to me. I don’t want you to hug me. And I sure as hell don’t need your stupid gifts. What the hell am I supposed to do with an egg? I raise chickens, Mys. Their eggs are the same. *rolls the egg she had given him earlier back towards her but it falls into the floor*… *sighs* Now can you just leave me alone.

Mys:*staring down at the broken egg, shrunken in her seat* I’m… sorry. Um…*stands*

Shane:*drinks the beer in his hand*

Mys: that was… really mean… actually.

Shane:*turns to look at her* what

Mys: the way you just spoke to me. That was awful and my feelings are really hurt. *trying not to cry and speaking kind of quickly* you’d been pretty nice to me this past week, so I don’t know what happened to you today, but you don’t have the right to be so mean to me.

Shane:…

Mys: I’m going to go now. Have a nice night Shane.

Shane: *watches her leave* I think I just fucked up…

Emily: Oh absolutely.
