Tim Drake in the red robin comic run and just in general is so Marina's The Family Jewels coded. I redrew the panel to give him his New 52 Red Robin suit because the cowl was god awful and I included some quotes from Marina's album on the side. I didn't even get space to fit one from the song Seventeen which is crazy cause he's literally 17. For context this is the panel where he's falling after Ra's kicked him out of a window just before Dick caught him, when he was expecting to die. Hope you like it cause most of it is tracing and listen to Marina's first album because it's so Tim coded.

Number 12: Shampain - Marina and the diamonds

The wedding stood out in stark detail, every second of it imprinted in Matthew's mind. He could recite it word by word if he wanted to, accurately relay each stab and needle that pierced his heart. He could describe every curve on James' smile, every note in Cordelia's laughter, every detail of a happiness that would never be meant for him.

That was exactly what he wanted to forget. Alcohol had made such a good job before, of drowning his sorrows and memories until nothing was left - not even the ghost of a would-have-been sister - so why wasn't it working now?

Maybe because he was still right in the middle of it. Of this party to celebrate the death of his soul. Of the fatidic moment, that seemed to stretch forever. Suffering is one very long moment, Oscar Wilde had said, and didn't he know it? Time for him had been frozen in agony years ago, and now one more focus of pain and sorrow had come to strengthen it. What was one more? He should be used to it. The alcohol should be doing its job.

Maybe he just needed another glass. That ought to do the trick. Champagne was very weak, after all, but his flask had been empty before the wedding had even finished and he hadn't yet had a chance to escape to refill it.

He had begged, begged Jamie not to go through with it, but his parabatai hadn't listened. Of course he hadn't. He was far too noble to listen to a selfish worm like him. Or at least he had to cling to the hope that was all it was. Either way, he had known, even as he said it, that James would deny him, but it had hurt all the same. As much as it hurt when Cordelia had stood up and declared they had been together, as false a statement as it had been.

Hurt. Hurt. Hurt. It would never stop hurting, not as long as he lived.

Another glass would surely do the trick.

Unhappy Matthew, Magnus Bane had called him, and he ought to have been embarrassed for behaving so poorly in front of one of his heroes, but he didn't quite care about much anymore, even if he pretended he did. The epithet was fitting, too. He couldn't quite remember the last time he had been truly happy. He ought to be proud none of them could tell, he had always been a great liar. It still cut deep all the same.

The next one, surely.

He had to do a toast soon, to the bride and groom. Another chance for him to stretch his amazing lying skills, more than he had ever done so before. He could do it, and would, of course, he would never hurt James like that, would never hurt them in any way. Could he even? One ought to care about someone for them to hurt you. He wasn't quite sure anymore if James did, hadn't been for years, and he didn't believe Cordelia ever did.

Another one, ah-

Laughter bubbled out of him. There it was.

His thoughts scattered, chased away by an iridescent and champagne-tinted haze. Finally. Now he could be himself again, could plaster that mask of a smile on his face again, maybe he would even be able to sleep after.

He got up and hit his spoon to the side of his glass and everyone stopped to look at him, his bright smile, his honey words. He had a speech to make, even if he wasn't quite sure what about or where he was anymore, the picture that had been so clear melting away.

It was fine, it was fine, everything was fine. His speech would be perfect as it always was. People would listen enraptured for a moment and then forget about him as they always did. James and Cordelia were getting married and he felt celestial.

As always.
