#napping tim drake

[sparkoflena]

I kinda get where Fanon Tim Drake Is Obsessed With Coffee And Never Sleeps comes from.

BUT I vote we give that trait to literally any other Batkid. Tim canonically naps all the time. Anywhere. In absolutely any position. And I think that concept is infinitely funnier.

Bonus: His favorite drink is Zesti Cola (DC/Off-brand Coke/Pepsi). I think drinking those all of the time could also embrace the humor of the ongoing joke. Imagine him drinking cola with his eggs and bacon and his family judging him for it? 10× funnier.

While we're at it; Tim's parents weren't around and he spent all of his time in BOARDING SCHOOL. Imagine writing through Escaping Boarding School hijinks every time he wants to do Robin Things.

I want this canon-based humor in my chaotic fanfictions please and thank you.

Serial napper Tim my beloved. "I'm tired" "you just woke up" "I'm tired". The moment he gets back home he goes to bed. Lays with his head propped up by four pillows and his laptop on his legs in an abysmal browsing position. Kon suggests a movie date and Tim goes yeah just a minute I'll get my things and when he comes back he has his pillows and blanket with him. He drank three cans of RedBull and punched 13 guys during the first hour of patrol. He dropped out of high school but has a full-time job. He uses his office to sleep. He listens to True Crime podcasts to calm down and solves every single cold case in his subconscious during his fifteen-minute powernaps between his business meetings.

Things I may someday include in a fic:

Tim slumped into the passenger seat in defeat, “this is the kind of shit that turns people into supervillains. Don’t look at me like that!” He ordered Bruce who guilty turned his gaze to the road.

“I’m not looking at you.”

“Yes you were. You were giving me that side eye like I’m the scary kid. Like Damian and Jason haven’t both brought you actual human heads like demented cats.”

Bruce hummed thoughtfully. “Jason didn’t bring me the heads actually-“

“Oh my god. That was not my point. The point is I am not the scary child.”

“Well,” Bruce allowed, “there is ‘demented cat scary’ and then there is rip apart multiverses on a whim scary.”

Tim sat up straighter, preening slightly, “you really think I’m that good?”

Bruce sighed heavily, “I’m asking you not to.”

Jason: What are you doing in my room?

Steph: Nothing, nothing just felt like standing here.

Steph, after looking around: Alright! Time for me to hit the old dusty trail. See ya!

Jason: what was that?

Dick, who is comfortably reading one of Jason’s books in the reading corner: you used to do that to me all the time! It was kinda annoying but really adorable!

Jason: …Alright! Everyone out!

Duke: aww man!

Dick: but it’s so cozy in here!

Tim: you just had to blow it by calling him cute!

Cass: :(

Damian: You truly did blow it Grayson.

I love the idea of Dick being all the Batkid's favourite sibling but in violently different fonts.

Jason: Dick and Jay canonically have a pretty solid relationship but i'm partial to the Jason was around for Dick's rebellion stage and so Dick doesn't think he has to worry about the pedestal thing bc Jason has absolutely seen him violently hungover before he was legally allowed to drink font of this

So by the time Jason comes back and is no longer trying to murder Tim (except psychologically) Dick decides... Well he's evil sometimes but also I can finally tell someone all the Titans drama. So him and Jason meet up like once month if they're in the same city and get progressively drunker while shit talking their teams and Bruce.

Also I hate the Dick and Robin!Jason didn't get along. They absolutely did, Dick was like 0.5 seconds away from taking Jason to live with the titans permanently.

Tim: 'Oh Jason is Tims Robin, Oh Dick betrayed Tims trust.' in the name of the orange dude y'all elected twice W R O N G. Tim Drake used to watch VHS tapes of the flying Graysons routine. He wasn't even a batman Stan first. That came after he saw Robin do a quadruple summersault. Tim is a Dick Grayson fanboy first Person second. Like Tim canonically saw Jason die and went lmao skill issue, imagine not being like Dick Grayson i'm better. When Dick first started training him, he'd consistently excuse himself go to the other room, hyperventilate over Dick Grayson teaching him how to train surf. Dick is not just his idol he's also a pretty substantial part of Tim's support system. He calls Dick when he's going through something or is stuck on a case. And he knows that Dick will always have his back. They have like the unrealistic adorable sibling relationships from Tv that don't exist irl. Tim also does that awkward shuffle thing after fights bc they're still siblings and Dick just pretends the fight didn't happen until Tims calm again

Damian: You have to understand Damian thought he'd have to basically do the league all over again. He lands with Bruce and those ideas are soundly rejected and he now has no trust or respect and he has to adjust. And Bruce is doing his holier than thou, you should know better 10yro who literally was brainwashed as a child act, like Tim didn't have to pull him away from straight up becoming a villain and Dick didn't have to put him in his place with his fists a couple times a year (we love Bruce really). Then Bruce gets Time-streamed, Tim runs away and now the circus freak is BATMAN. Except the circus freak is also a sadistic bastard to criminals, despite being made out of marshmallows to you. Dick hangs people upside down off high buildings for information and cackles as Nightwing. He also listens to Damians worries and helps him deconstruct his bias view of the world. Dick canonically set the standard for child heroes and is among one of the most beloved and trusted heroes despite being marshmallowy and refusing to murder people. Dick is kinda like Damians stand in non pretentious moral compass until he learns his own one later on. Hence why Damian adores Dick Grayson more than anyone really.

in summary support my agenda that Dick and Jason are gossipy drinking buddies, Tim absolutely had a Dick Grayson Shrine as a child and Damian calls Dick to double check that he still cannot kill Timothy (its now entirely a joke.... mostly)

Tim: [gets down on one knee]

Bernard: oh my God, it's finally happening!

Tim: [falls over]

Bernard: the sedative is kicking in!

I need one of those Tim Joins The Batfam Early AU fics but it’s just Tim being so sleep-deprived and delirious from staying up all night taking pictures of Batman and Robin that he confronts Jason about it at school because Jason never looks tired. He never acts tired. Tim has never even seen him yawn and Tim would know if he did because he watches him all the time.

He’s just like, what are you doing??? How are you staying up all night? How are you sustaining this? Jason interprets this as Tim asking him if he’s on drugs which does not go over well. He almost kicks his ass before he realizes that this kid seems to know a little too much about Batman’s patrol routes.

So, Jason ends up taking Tim home and introducing him to the wonderful concept of the afternoon nap.

[hyperblue]

obsessing over a thought of tim completely breaking down while having to explain to kon the whole "i accidentally cloned us a baby and that's so fucked up and wrong but i don't even have a decency to regret it now because i love them more than anything in the world" situation

how do you even explain that the worst thing you've ever done in your life is also simultaneously the best thing that ever happened to you

how do you even convey that if you got to go back in time and change everything, you'd still choose to do the very same objectively awful and fucked up thing

that even if given a chance, you wouldn't choose to redeem yourself because being a better person would also mean not having jack/wendy

Get Tim Draked!!!

[riverdeansart]

heroing is hard work

(Father's Day, pt 3)

Bruce: Tim, what is this?

Tim, sipping coffee: Your father's day present. Aren't you the World's Greatest Detective?

Bruce: Not that. This. *Shows gift*

Tim: Oh, that's a buy three get the fourth one free coupon for the adoption center.

Bruce: In what circumstances would that ever happen?

Tim: Dick, me and Jason were adopted. Then Damian was dropped on your doorstep. You bought the first three and got the fourth one free. If it can happen once, it can happen again.

What do you do when your sleep schedule doesn’t

-A totally sane Gothamite, 2:03 am

i wouldn’t know, i don’t have that problem.

-Tim Drake, 2.5 hours of sleep

[secretly-a-trekkie]

lol i think it is kinda funny how often we take our favorite overworked little guy (gender neutral ) and just go oh yeah he (gender neutral) hasn't slept in a month and his blood is now coffee and redbull but said guy (gender neutral) is just functioning mostly normally but with no filter

[bruciemilf]

I love love LOVE adorable Baby Jay to death but imagine Baby Tim.

Imagine a baby casually stowing away to your space HQ via your bottomless cape. GL spots it wiggling but no one believes his eldritch cape theory & Batman gaslights him.

GL: IT MOVED!

Batman: It's a cape over a living body.

GL: So you admit there's something under there!

Superman: Uh, yeah? He's wearing it??

Dying at the thought of Baby Timmy being bold and fearless around Batman, saying he'll come with him, help him, protect him, and there's nothing the Bat can do about it.

With Bruce? It's completely different. Tim shape-shifting from this overly confident, cocky, devil may care toddler to Bruce's silent, -- too silent, -- shadow?

Bruce doesn't like that. At all.

"He reminds me of you when you were younger, master Bruce."

Bruce really doesn't like that.

It worries him that Tim doesn't have a favorite color, a favorite food, snack, game, TV show, subject, or a hero he can annoy Bruce with. Not like his brothers.

"He's not my brother, B."

"You can't take him to show and tell, then."

Jason, 12, an angel usually, a little devil when Dick's around, is trying to stuff Tim in his backpack. " No!"

[jaxallope]

You ever think the league just thinks Batman has a bag of holding?

His utility belt? Has just about everything, because of course it does, he’s prepared for just about everything.

Then you have his cape,

Batman has verging number of heartbeats depending on the day? Some days it’s just one some days it’s, like 7?

Flash swears he’s see eyes glaring at him from it

Green lantern thinks it’s literally made of void

Honestly it might be a little magical. How else is he gonna hide and protect all his babies? What if they want to follow him to a meeting? What better way to keep track of them than to keep them with him?

I know this has been done

I know it’s not new

But this, along with Sweet little son/brother shaped Jason Todd is something I live for

Batman is a mama opossum

And he and all his lovely babies are mine

DC can borrow them again when they stop making terrible decisions and treat them all right

And have Bruce be the dad we all want him to be

Let the batfam be happy

Let them be loved

timkon; tim never takes naps, so something must be wrong.

Tim bobs up to wakefulness reluctantly. Someone's hand is in his hair. It's nice, though—no pain, no promise of violence. A soothing touch. A familiar one.

"Heya, Rob. Taking a nap?"

With great effort, Tim squints his eyes open. A blurry blob of black, red, and blue. Something round. Shades? Something shiny. Spikes? Knives? Who cares. He closes his eyes again.

"You okay? Did you pass out again?"

"Nnnn." Tim swats at the fingers trying to turn his face. "No. Head hurts."

The hand drift back to his hair, petting slightly. "Cassie, can you come here? Tell me if he's burning up."

Cool fingers touch his forehead. Tim scrunches up his face, trying to duck away. "Oh, yeah. He's got a tiny fever. I'm going to go grab some meds."

A soft whoosh. The hand in his hair pulls away for a moment. Tim whines, reaching out blindly. He hits fabric. Latches on.

"Shh, shh, it's okay."

Tim peeks open an eye again. It causes a sharp stab of pain to shoot through his head. "Kon," he says.

"Yeah, buddy. You pulled another all-nighter, didn't you? Do we need to hold another intervention about self-care?"

"Kon," Tim complains. Then he loses track of everything again, head screaming and body feeling way too heavy. He hates being sick.

"Okay, let's get you to bed," says Kon, voice soft. He picks Tim up without dislodging the death grip Tim has on his shirt. His TTK continues brushing through Tim's hair as they move away from the lounge area up to their quarters.

Seemingly between one heartbeat and the next, Tim is nestled in his bed. The lights are off and the room is quiet. The door slides open and Cassie slips in.

"Here." She drops onto the bed and helps Tim sit up. "Come on. Just swallow this and then you can go back to sleep, okay?"

Tim swallows the pill and the water obediently. His eyes are barely open. When the water is gone, Cassie leans over and smacks a loud kiss on his forehead. Before she leaves, she turns back to call, "Get better soon, okay, co-leader?"

He lies back down, whimpering only slightly when he accidentally falls a little too hard onto the pillow. "Urghhh."

"Need to throw up?"

"No..." Tim lifts his arms to cover his head. "I'm fine," he says, muffled. "You don't have to babysit me."

Kon hums. The bed dips again. The comforter lifts, and then Kon is pressing up against Tim's side. Immediately, without question, Tim curls into him. An ingrained habit, a natural instinct.

"You know, I think you're right. It is the perfect time for a nap."

Tim wants to argue, but his head is fuzzy again. A gentle pressure pushes him more firmly into Kon's arms. He huffs out a breath, feeling Kon's warmth seep into his own skin. And then, like a wink, Tim's gone.
