a dumb quick little sketch of jaytim in disguises

[debilsposts]

Striking out on his own during Red Robin must have been the hardest thing Tim has ever done. Tim who’s greatest fear is loneliness, who throws himself into befriending everyone and leaving no bridges burned. Who Bruce admits is the Robin that LOVED the teamwork moves so much that he and Bruce developed entire playbooks together so they can take down overwhelming forces with perfect synchronicity. WHO developed even MORE team tactics with Nightwing to the point they learned each other’s signature weapons and their own weapons can be broken down or put together with a twist to form the other’s. Tim is the Robin the others turn to for Ðick’s flippy acrobatic bullshit when he’s not there because they practiced every move together until Tim can do Dick’s part with any of the bats. Tim who makes allies to fight with even on his solo cases and with people no one else would DREAM of allying with like Klarion, lady shiva, early days Red Hood, and all his fellow Young Justice kids. Tim’s been on like 10 separate teams over the years from the batfam to Young Justice, to the Titans, to the Outsiders, to the freaking Psyba-Rats.

So think of how soul crushing those first months were entirely alone. No family, no team, no friends, no backup because they’re all dead, missing, or gave up on him (in his mind). Ra’s sending the agents he did to Tim was a stroke of diabolical genius. How do you steal the loyalty of a person who’s loyalty is their defining trait? Take a look at Pru, Z, and Owens and tell me they don’t remind you of the original Young Justice team? Misfits who love too deeply and NEED someone who cares are Tim Drake’s personal kryptonite. His fondness for them has been both his biggest weakness and his greatest strength. It was a gamble on Ra’s part because yeah, Tim fell for his weakness hook, line and sinker but his strength kicked in and he walked away with Pru’s total loyalty. With Ra’s pouring on the paternal approval on top of it might have worked to at least divide Tim’s loyalties a bit if Ra’s hadn’t tried to control Tim by keeping Tam hostage. No one can control Tim, he’s the ultimate wild card and threatening innocents hits his rage button.

This is dedicated to @debilsposts

I hope you enjoy my gift for the @jaytimexchange 2024!

Read left -> right

Ps - Kon totally knows Jason is there and his ass is SAT and ready to watch them be idiots in love.

My prompt:

Jason overhears Tim talking to his friends about his newfound feelings towards Jason (maybe he's confining to them in secret, knowing J would never reciprocate and take them seriously) -- and Jason takes on a task to prove he feels the same. Miscommunication ensues. Bonus points if they're already in a FWB relationship and are afraid that feelings would complicate it. Good boyfriend Jason fluff, please. with the rating of SFW, NSFW

(Apologies on being a few days late!! Life got hectic but I hope you enjoy the comic!)

Tim: Jason’s dick is big but his heart is bigger!! That’s why I like him.

Tim: but I don’t think he feels the same 😔 (wet cat energy)

Jason: this fucking idiot-

Jason: *courting shenanigans*

exactly

[debilsposts]

Random thought but every artist drawing Red Robin should at least consider making him hold his bo staff the same way he would hold a dick

So next time you put pencil to paper, just... consider the possibilities. For the culture. For science.

These are maskless versions of the illustrations for @chibinightowl's fic Hooked on a Feeling made for the Code Red JayTim Zine last year. She hasn't uploaded it to ao3 yet so the link will go up when it's up. :D

It's a Doctor Jay and Redwing Tim AU. Doc Jay is a surgeon with awesome bedside manner. He'll stitch you up, while cussing you out.

jason getting fucked within an inch of his life wouldn't fix him, but i think it's as close to therapy as he could get.

[debilsposts]

as much as I love the common "Tim worships/stalks Jason" trope in TimJay fanfiction because it's Good and making Tim a weird little freak is Fun, I think the underutilized dynamic is where Jason is the one weirdly obsessed with Tim and makes it Tim's problem.

Like, the moment Jason is confronted with the information that a third Robin exists, the first thing he does is cover his wall with pictures of Tim so he can just obsess and torture himself over it. That is the behavior of a man who is Unwell over Tim's existence and I love it.

red hood: lost days #4

And as much as a shitshow as The Titans Tower Incident™ is characterization-wise (though I think it has far more merit in depicting Jason's character than people give it credit for but I digress-) there's something very fun about the fact that even after kicking his ass, Jason respects Tim and is impressed by him.

teen titans (2003) #29

And on top of that, Jason can't seem to stop trying to ask Jason to Tim to work with him in some capacity.

robin (1993) #177

batman: battle for the cowl #2

While Battle for the Cowl is an exceptionally bad comic, especially for its characterization of Jason and the "be my Robin" bit is taken deeply out of context, I do think it's interesting how obsessed Jason is with believing that Tim is extremely competent, only held back by being "brainwashed by Bruce". (hence him leaving Tim for dead later on in the comic.) Jason seeing a darker side of Tim and wanting to bring that out of Tim, wanting to see what Tim could be if he let go of his loyalty to Bruce is so fun to me, tbh.

And in Robin #177, Jason seems genuinely upset Tim doesn't want to work with him. Jason sees such a raw potential in Tim and is obsessed with it, constantly wanting Tim to work for him and see Tim be the type of person Jason is. And despite Tim rejecting him, Jason doesn't shoot to kill Tim. I just cannot get over the fanfic potential of Jason obsessing over Tim, tracking him and seeing what he's capable of and what he could be capable of. Wanting to make Tim see things the way he does. To Tim it's corruption, to Jason it's freedom. Tim trying to 'save' Jason is fun and all, but Jason trying to corrupt Tim? That's even more fun to me. Watching that power struggle between them, Tim unable to get Jason off his heels as Jason gets more and more possessive and bold with each attempt.

And when Jason sees Tim successfully get Gotham back under control after a gang war, he's impressed. He praises Tim, even. And then Tim just. Breaks him out of prison.

robin (1993) #182

The way they're constantly trying to see something in the other that isn't there, hoping the other will come around? That is the most fucked up hate/love dynamic ever. Jason keeps coming back to Tim, keeps trying to find ways to get Tim onto his side. They're always chasing each other. And I think Jason would be the one to confess love first, the one to do anything to make Tim his. And when you consider after all of this, Tim has his Red Robin arc and is at his lowest, getting the closest he ever gets to considering murder? I think it'd be so fun to see Jason take advantage of that and worm his way back into Tim's life and finally push Tim over the edge.

Oh sure, everyone loves Jason Todd because he’s such a tragic and suffering badass. They love how he was so close to Bruce but felt like Bruce abandoned Jason, let him down, and replaced him with another partner. They love his tough backstory growing up in poverty. They love his former idealism back in the good old days, even when that idealism crossed Batman’s moral boundaries in the name of the greater good. They love that Jason is so traumatized and unstable after his attack that they embrace him even at his worst. They love him becoming a mob boss, killing untold numbers of people with his twin pistols, creating more orphans in his wake, because they feel for his pain. They love him even while ignoring his bad stories, understanding that some writers simply don’t understand what makes him great, especially those stories that go out of their way to make him a villain. Most of all, they love the mutual, strained love between him and Batman, who never stops holding out hope that Jason will come back to him and not succumb to darkness again. They love Jason for all of that.

Tim Drake: Temporary Asset

Tim is just waiting for the call.

It hasn’t come yet, but it will.

Because his mission is done.

Jason is back. Bruce is no longer self-destructing in his grief. The Robin mantle has been passed down. He even went as far as dragging Bruce out of the literal timestream—and if that wasn’t his final act, his last necessary function, then what else is he even here for?

So, yeah. It’s inevitable.

Bruce will pull him aside, voice careful and quiet, and tell him it’s time. He’ll say it with the same even tone he uses for debriefings, the kind that doesn’t leave room for argument. Maybe he’ll tell Tim to pack up his things and go. Maybe he’ll ask him to leave quietly, to spare the others from the trouble of a drawn-out farewell. Or maybe it won’t matter, because they won’t even notice he’s gone.

So until then, Tim is just… waiting.

And while he waits, he makes himself useful.

He’s Dick’s go-happy little brother when the others are too tired to match his energy. He lets Steph pull him into reckless, impulsive plans when she needs a partner-in-crime, because if that's what he's needed for, that's what he'll do. Barbara knows he’s a call away if she needs an extra pair of hands—doesn’t matter when or where, he’ll be there.

He takes the brunt of Jason’s anger, lets him shove blame onto Tim for anything and everything that’s wrong, because if Jason needs something to be mad at, if he needs a target, then Tim is more than willing to be that.

Damian needs someone to look down on? Someone to sneer at, someone who won’t fight back?

Fine. Tim will be that, too.

Because he doesn’t care what he has to be.

He just wants to be needed.

He needs to be needed.

Because the moment he isn’t, the moment they all realize they don’t need anything from him anymore—

The call will come.

And that’ll be it.
