i’ve had the “tim goes crazy” part of gunpowder tim vs the moon kaiser stuck in my head for like two days now and it sucks that i don’t live alone so i can scream-sing the entirety of that section while playing on my guitar

[allthedoorsareopennow]

can't find that post about the unidentified funky instrument in the background of tim goes crazy. I think it's a squeezebox or something (though towards the end theres definitely a violin)

good evening Creepypasta community…

[brucewaynehater101]

i want you to know that i scroll through your posts and interactions just to find all your fic recs and open new ao3 tabs.

your tim parenting Bruce au has destroyed me and I love it so much thank you for your service.

do you have any more particularly gut wrenching aus cooking up in your genius noggin?

Heeeey. How'd you know I had a new AU I haven't released yet?

But before we get into that, thank you for the compliments. Angst is my favorite flavor.

As far the AU, you know the saying, "You either die as a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"?

I feel like that could fit Tim so well.

How I imagine the AU to start out would be Tim as Robin. He's in the batcave with Bruce as the man is showing him a particularly devastating case. Bruce, his mentor but not his father, turns to Tim with a grimmace.

"There's a reason we have a code, Tim."

They both glance at Jason's memorial and Bruce's hands start to shake.

"As much as we may want to give in to our desires and emotions, we can't stoop down to their level. There needs to be lines we won't cross, even for the greater good."

Azure eyes snap to arctic ones, begging for the younger to understand.

"We do this to protect others, even those who are twisted and foul. We aren't the judges or executioners."

Tim nods in agreement, and Bruce's shoulders lose a little of their tension. The older man pats the teen's shoulder in pride before his attention goes back to the murder case.

Tim, as Robin, had many interactions with Bruce that shaped who he was as a vigilante. How much force to apply when fighting, what lines to cross, and acceptable codes of conduct were taught to the kid in several instances. It didn't matter that Bruce himself had broken them or that, on very rare occasions, Dick also broke them. They were rules Tim was expected to follow, and they were reasonable lines. Of course, Tim did everything he could to meet those standards. He may have trained with Lady Shiva, and YJ may get into so whacky ordeals, but there's no excuse to go outside of those bounds.

It became difficult, though, when Jason beat Tim into the floor of Titan's Tower. When Jason, after hurting several family members, was welcomed back. It became a strain on Tim when Bruce enacted the 16th Birthday present fiasco or Tim found out about what the man had done to Dick (the bruise he left on Dick's face after Jason's passing). It was demanding to follow those rules when Damian came into the picture and when Dick handed him Robin.

When Tim found that painting of Bruce, when Dick and the JL turned their backs on him, when YJ wasn't there to support him, some part of Tim said "fuck it." Why should he follow standards he had to leash Bruce into obeying? The man wasn't even here anymore.

He still tried, but he gave less effort to it. He didn't want Bruce to find out when he returned after all.

But Tim? He never returned from that desert. As far as the Bats become aware after Tim sends them the data for Bruce and then blows up the bases, Tim died in the explosions he caused.

And the rest of the AU goes into Tim exploring how the guidelines Bruce gave him were bullshit, so he slowly starts to let more and more go until he has no moral bounds anymore. He's seen Bruce, Jason, Damian, Barbara, Alfred, and Dick all break one or more of these "rules" that were placed on Tim. So why should Tim go along with it?

What does it matter if he betrays, manipulates, tortures, and kills if it saves the most people? What does it matter if he commits suffering if he's helping people?

Until, one day, Bart and Kon are on the other side of the battlefield from Tim. While Bart is steadfast in defeating Tim (no matter how much it pains him), Kon is devastated that Tim never told him he was alive. He doesn't even care that Tim is a villain. If he had just asked, Kon would've joined him.

It's too late now. Bart needs Tim to stop, Tim can't let Kon join him, and Kon is torn between his duty and his friend.

So Tim does what he always does, he sacrifices himself. He allows them to take him into holding, executes his plan to murder all villains left, places restrictions on the JL (so they'll never hurt anyone the way they hurt Tim and abandoned his friends again), and then Tim disappears. Bart opposing Tim was the sign that Tim was in the wrong. He knows that. If he wasn't, Bart would've been on Tim's side no matter how morally grey he got.

Tim had crossed into the black.

He became what he always feared he might one day be.

“We’ll murder all the lunar men with fury heaven-sent / and we’ll carpet lenny’s tunnels with the rounds that we have spent / they’ve tried to shake our firm resolve but haven’t made a dent / his truth is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / his truth is marching on

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the lord / he is trampling through the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored / he hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword / and their blood will run like wine

Take no prisoners, give no quarter / show them all the color of their entrails on the floor / the kaiser’s men are cattle to the slaughter / and their blood will run like wine

Say brothers will you meet me / say brothers will you meet me / say brothers will you meet me / on Canaan’s happy shores

Glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / forever evermore

I have read a fiery gospel writ in furnished row of steel / ‘as ye deal with my contemnors, so with you my grace shall deal’ / let the hero born of woman crush the serpent with his heel / and their blood will run like wine

Take no prisoners, give no quarter / show them all the color of their entrails on the floor / the kaiser’s men are cattle to the slaughter / and their blood will run like wine

We’ll suck the ragged eyeballs from the sockets of their skulls / their existence is a mad disease there needs to be a cull / upon their rancid soldier flesh our bayonets will dull / our god is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / his truth is marching on

They will hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree / they will hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree / they will hang Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree / as theh march along

Take no prisoners, give no quarter / show them all the color of their entrail on the floor / the kaiser’s men are cattle to the slaughter / and their blood will run like wine

In the beauty of the lilies christ was born across the sea / with a glory in his bosom that transfigures you and me / as he died to make men holy let is die to make men free / while god is marching on

Glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / glory, glory, hallelujah / his truth is marching on”

That’s an approximation of what it sounds like inside my head right now.

I came here to make a post regarding Tim Goes Crazy and The Battle Hymn of the Republic, but then I got distracted

Round 2.3.2

[watmalik]

I SWEAR TO GOD IF BLAIR RECORDED HER SESSIONS WITH TIM LIKE SHE DID WITH AARON TO USE IT AGAINST HIM WHILE HE’S BEING INVESTIGATED FOR MAD DOG’S DEATH?? I WILL NEED FOR LUCY CHEN TO FINISH HER. MORTAL KOMBAT STYLE OR WHATEVER. I NEED HER GONE.

TO TELL HER HOW DARE SHE USE THERAPY AS A MECHANISM FOR HER OWN GAIN TO SAFE HER SORRY ASS AND HOW DARE BLAIR DO THIS TO TIM—THE MAN THAT SHE LOVES BUT STILL IS ANGRY AT. UGHH.

Anyways, I’m power walking to the gym as I write this bc I made myself angry thinking about fictional characters again 😂

[battleslippers]

I just think he's neat

[fogwitchoftheevermore]

Jimmy as Bertie, Joel as Tim, Grian as Jonny

YESSSS yes you see the vision. also if we are shifting this to liml i think we should propose either martyn or bigb TS (i asked my friend @pixlostinatos who is a TS expert for this)

also i think this might be a good time to link a very relevant animatic

[introspectivememories]

my timbern hot take is that i thank god everyday that we got riley rossmo's art for those first few issues instead of serg acuña's because i know some of you bitches would've been extremely weird about timbern if we had gotten acuña's manga-esque style from the beginning
