I'm thinking about fanon Tim traits and why people write them so often - obviously a lot of the traits are found in first which then informs other fics, and I think people generally read them more than comics so a lot of people get used to them and piggyback off them. Otherwise though, is it just that there's room in a lot of dynamics, both romantic and family wise for someone smaller, more delicate? Is there any single instance in canon that has started off any of these misinterpretations? Like, there are so many fun premises out there for first but Tim is just written so wrong and I'm just wondering where it's all come from.

Also, what are some of your most hated fanon Tim traits and misconceptions?

#tim drake #dc comics #like whatever the coffee shit is harmless ig #but scaredy cat tim? no #being tiny? no! maybe he's short but hes still growing and like it's not like hes this tiny little thing.#he still has muscle and is average for a robin #i dont actually remember the wayne enterprises canon stuff that well tbh but ngl the ceo stuff had me convinced for a while #the parental physical abuse #like i love red robin #its my fave comic but i think a lot of people seem to have only read that and twist his traits into being how he is all the time #tim is generally confident and snarky and he likes cars and skateboards and plays dnd and has friends!#he's very socially capable #hes not a crybaby and he's not feminine #like crossdressing once undercover doesnt make you feminine #the barfam have had weirder disguises
