As much as I love TimKon, I prefer TimBern and it's mainly because of this:

“Bernard says I sacrifice myself like it's a bad thing.”

“But it's all I've ever known.”

“All that my family has ever been taught.”

Tim, out of all of the BatFamily members is the one that never really had a choice.

Bruce had a choice to become Batman. He almost retired, until things went badly again and he realized how much more awful Gotham would be if he did.

Dick had a choice to become Robin. When Bruce fired him he could've finished college and lived a normal life, but he chose to continue on as Nightwing.

Jason had a choice to become Robin. And while his mind had been messed with after being dunked in the Lazarus Pit, he had a choice to become Red Hood, too.

Damian had a choice to become Robin. He fought hard for the role, and seems to genuinely enjoy doing it.

Tim didn't have a choice to become Robin. Yes, no one actually forced him into the role, but he saw what had happened to Bruce after Jason's death (such as how he became more violent), and knew that Bruce needed a Robin to keep himself sane. He tried going to Dick, but Dick said the best he could do was help as Nightwing as he wasn't willing to be Robin again. So Tim felt like he had to take up the role, because Batman, his greatest hero, would lose it if he didn't.

Tim also didn't have a choice to give up being a vigilante, unlike the others. When he got replaced as Robin, Bruce was trapped in time and everyone but him thought he was dead. He didn't have Dick's experience of going out soul searching and deciding that being a hero was what he wanted in life, he had to almost immediately take up a new secret identity and start going on missions so he could find out what happened to Bruce.

I love TimBern so much, because Bernard is Tim's connection to civilian life. If you're a hero dating a hero, even when you're being civilians and doing civilian things, there's always going to be the knowledge of who you both are really, and the missions you've been on together (Such as Tim looking at Kon and remembering things like when he tried to clone him because he was ‘dead’). I feel like with Bernard, Tim can be a full on civilian and forget about the hero life for a while, and that makes it special.

Also I just think Bernard is neat :3

3.1 left me with one question.

Is the Express trio really considered minors on board and is prohibited from drinking alcohol...

I THOUGHT THAT DAN HENG WOULD BE ALLOWED TO DRINK BUT NO. WHO CARES IF YOU HAVE THE POWERS THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING IN A FLASH? YOU'RE NOT DRINKING, YOUNG MAN (himeko, probably).

It's even funnier anyway because TB canonically got drunk. In penacony and amphoreus. Literally no drinking on the express for the kids (they're all adults).

more thoughts about sunday/welt:

if they're sleeping in the same room and welt gets used to waking sunday up from nightmares and helping him calm down after, they'd quickly lose the proper sense of distance for two dudes platonically sharing a room.

one day, a few weeks into traveling on the astral express, sunday comes across welt reading a book in the lounge and sits down beside him. he stares off into space (literally) and gets too deep inside his own head and welt can tell he's brooding--and welt doesn't look up from his book but he reaches up and ruffles sunday's hair and tells him not to think so hard. and because this isn't so new or startling, sunday goes with it and lets himself lean over and put his head on welt's shoulder and just zone out for a bit, and welt doesn't pay him any mind besides shifting a little so they're both more comfortable, and it's nice.

and then march and dan heng walk in.

sunday's eyes snap open and he sits up straight but it's too late. they've seen... whatever it is they're looking at. they're not sure, but it's making them deeply uncomfortable. sunday stares at them. they stare at sunday. march opens her mouth. dan hang slaps his hand over it. sunday gets up and walks very quickly in the other direction.

welt, having missed this entire exchange, only looks up when sunday moves. he's confused as to why sunday is leaving so quickly but sometimes young men need their space; and then he notices march and dan heng.

"oh, you two," he says, and then notices dan heng's hand over march's mouth.

dan heng says, with measured calm, "we're sorry to have disturbed you. we'll be leaving now." march tries to protest but it's muffled by dan heng's hand, and then he literally drags her out of the room.

welt spares this oddity another moment of thought, then goes back to his book. sunday spends the next week unable to look directly at dan heng or march.

doing this to welt when he brings home yet another stray (we cannot afford the 5 we already have)

can I have a Welt Yang from Honkai Star Rail? he's my grandpa and I love him.

I firmly agree with "he's my grandpa and I love him". He's also the reason I even started to play HSR! (bonus Himeko)

welt ended up being the only one wearing (proper) clothes in the daily dragon thingy so let's give him justice

ughh im thinking about sunday. specifically about the person he used to be and the person he is now. that confident person with a twisted, unhinged side to him?? guy who definitely enjoyed putting aventurine in his place and causing harm to him. from that, to this almost...meek individual harboring so much sadness and guilt. i think a lot about the fact that he severed his halo in order to feel pain to keep himself in his place. to feel grounded, to feel closer to...humanity?? i guess? i never really know how to describe how exactly i interpret this, but it makes me feel something in my gut just aahhhh. i think the symbolic fusing between him and wonweek was very beautiful, and due to a similar experience i had during a self-introspective moment, i really do relate to him and love him so much. sunday canonically has ocd, and at some point i realized that i shouldn't see my ocd as something separate from me. it is still me, it is still my brain. i decided that working alongside it in a way would be more beneficial as well as treating that side of me with kindness and love instead of hatred! and yes, it isnt just an ocd parallel. i just decided to read into that aspect at the same time. i just think sundays a really beautiful character and i care him so much! i think him being part of the express is such a good decision, and even though stellaron hunter sunday would've been awesome, this is definitely the best path for him. someone pointed out that if he had been in the stellaron hunters, following a script wouldn't benefit him at all. he deserves to spend time in the real world now with people around him who care about him, and i am looking forward to seeing his development with the express in the upcoming amphoreus story. im also...quite terrified. the story is going to hurt so bad...i can just feel it already.

no one needs this im sure but just u know, citing my work (for my upcoming sunday/welt brainrot)

sunday, upon being caught by welt (still so polite?? boy ur killing me)

welt, upon confirming his suspicions (the most blunt/rude ive EVER seen welt be, and for very good reason but hot damb if the heel turn didn't do something to me)

welt, self assigning himself sunday's personal escort/guard/warden

welt, sTICKING UP FOR SUNDAY IN FRONT OF HIS COMPANIONS

i am so normal. i am super, super normal about this.

[applealchemist]

imaginary only is hell because i started on a banner without imaginary characters and all i have is welt (its really just a welt only challenge until i finish belobog and get HMC) so half the time i'm begging mr yang to stop dying and just kill the bitch with the black hole already
