[timmydrakeee]

conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 7

Dick: oh yeah i see you guys, hold on coming in hot-

*grunt*

Dick: hey, who are we waiting for?

Damian: Hood is working on the other side of Gotham tonight, but we're still supposed to wait for father while he talks to Catwoman

Dick: *a groan* god, he always takes forever when he's talking to her, and i'm already bored!

Tim: yeah we've been waiting for twenty minutes.

Jasons, whispering: sucks to suck for you guys- oh SHIT-

*distant gunshots*

Dick, casual: did you just give away your position to insult us Jay?

Jason, strained: *gunshot* NO,

*more gunshots, a yelp*

*silence*

Dick: anyway i'm still bored.

Tim: wanna play a game me and Damian made up?

Dick: you two made up a game?

Tim: yeah after Damian messed up and accidentally revealed he was fun on the main line.

Damian: i don't know what you're talking about, i've never had fun in my life.

Tim: -we're calling it 'league days: yay or nay?'

Dick, amused: ok, what are the rules.

Tim: ok, so, the aim of the game is to find out stuff from Damian's league days, because he got up to a lot of insane shit over there. he wrote down any interesting experiences he could remember onto a bunch of cards and then got Jason to digitalize them into a randomizer,

Tim: and then we got Jason to come up with a bunch of fake experiences and mix them in with the real ones. Damian doesn't know what the fake ones are so he has no way to come up with stories beforehand. the rules are Damian has to use the app Jason made to shuffle a random card, read it out loud to us, and then we have to guess if it's real or fake. we can ask him questions about what the card says and he has to answer, and then we have to figure out if he's bullshitting or not.

Tim: Jason isn't allowed to play because obviously he was there for like, 90% of the truths.

Jason: but i am allowed to listen and laugh! fuck you guys by the way, i almost died and nobody checked up on me.

Damian: sucks to suck, Todd. are you playing, Grayson?

Dick, giggling: holy shit, yes, i'm in. read a card.

Damian: ok, hold on.

*a beat*

Damian: oh- *a strangled sigh*

Tim: you have to read it out loud!

Damian: i am!

Damian: 'when i was a child, Todd introduced me to pokemon games, and then convinced me that pokemon were real by painting a snail and telling me it was a very small magcargo. years later, this lie was then used to convince me that i should move to Gotham.'

Jason: *bursts out wheezing* OH MY GOD-

*continuous cackles*

Damian: we may have to mute him.

*more distant laughter*

Tim: please god, let this be true.

Dick, smothering giggles: and- oh my god- and we get to ask questions?

Damian, resigned: ask away.

Tim: so- hmm.

Dick: *wheeze*

Tim: the reason you came to Gotham...?

Dick, wetly: yeah that's- that's what i think we need clarification on. Jason... Jason told you pokemon were real, and then...?

Damian: so i was around five years old, and had never played a video game before, and Todd came back from a mission with one of those handheld consoles and an old pokemon game loaded in.

Tim: what, and he told you it was real?

Damian: he told me it was based on reality and that it was just very rare to see pokemon in real life, especially in the area that the compound was in. to be fair i'd never left, so i had no way to confirm that or not.

Dick: still though, painting a snail got you to believe it?

Damian: it was- i-

*a sigh*

Damian: it was a fairly competent art project.

Jason: *starts laughing again*

Tim: see this is a hard one, because i don't know if he's laughing because of how proud he is that he did it, or because of how funny he finds his own lie. he makes shit up all the time.

Dick: this is genuinely a tough game, what the fuck. ok. how did this correlate with you coming to Gotham? i thought Talia sent you?

Damian: my mother gave me the option of going to Gotham to train with Batman, or to go into hiding with her and help during the league uprisings. i was unsure at the time because i had never met father before and didn't know what it would entail, but Todd obviously knew i would be safer coming to Gotham with him when he returned, so he took it upon himself to convince me to choose Batman.

Jason: *high pitched weeping*

Tim: see- SEE DAMIAN'S SMILING, i feel like he wouldn't find it funny if it was true, he'd just be angry that he'd ever fallen for it.

Damian: not necessarily. Todd has a very infectious laugh, i could just find his odd squeaking entertaining. you cannot base your answer on that.

Dick: so did you come to Gotham because he told you that there would be pokemon to see or something?

Damian: he told me that team rocket was active in Gotham, and that they were abusing pokemon. i have a fondness for animals, so obviously this angered me and i wanted to intercept.

Tim: it- *wheeze* it angered you-,

Jason: *silent gasps of laughter*

Dick: and what happened when- like, how did you find out he'd lied to you?

Damian: i figured it out on the boat to Gotham, about a day's journey away, and i was so infuriated that i pushed his motorcycle off the boat and sunk it. we were actually- it made us late, we were a day later than expected coming into Gotham because i sunk our ride from the boat to the city and we had to take public transport.

Dick: see but thats- like you told me before that the journey from the compound took two weeks, i can't imagine you being outside the compound for two whole weeks and not clocking that pokemon didn't exist in the real world.

Damian: i was busy with other things

Tim: bullshit, you literally said it was the reason you went!

*ping*

Bruce: apologies for the delay, i am three minutes out from your location. does anybody have any info on Red Hood? i've received reports that he may have been dosed with laughing gas. does he need backup?

Tim: he's fine, he's just an ass.

Jason, still struggling to breathe: ok- ok B's gonna ruin it now so i'm calling it. you have to choose, yay or nay?

Dick: THIS IS SO HARD!

Bruce: what's going on?

Tim: *groaning* god i so want it to be true... but i just don't buy the two week thing. i think you would have figured it out sooner.

Dick: i'm with Tim. i gotta go with nay. it's a lie.

Jason: *laughs slightly* *high pitched* alright, Damian. yay or nay, did this happen?

*silence*

Damian: *deep sigh* as much as i really wish it hadn't, this one was true. i did indeed, for a solid half a decade, believe that pokemon were real.

Dick: WHA-

Tim: ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS-?!

Jason: *bursts out laughing again* *cheering*

Damian: i should have never agreed to play this game again.

Bruce: what on earth did i just come in on...?

Batkids mid-argument

Babs: I don’t have to stand for this

Duke: You don’t have to stand for anything

Babs: …

Tim: …

Damian: …

Dick: …

Jason (to Dick): Dude, I told you he’d do it

Dick, begrudgingly hands over $20

[timmydrakeee]

That actually might be more accurate for them 🤣

In my opinion one of the best ways to write Jonathan and Damian is to make them act like Darwin and Gumball.

For example,

Some man: Jon, you speak English really well

Jon: What?! What do you think my native language is?

Some guy: Um Kryptoish?

Jon: Wow you somehow managed to offend everyone on earth and Krypton at the same time.

*****

Damian: Look who's talking have you seen your sandals? You look like your about to walk on water

*****

Jon: hmm hmm Damian: What are you doing? Jon: Oh, I was just trying to work out if I give a darn

****

Jon: Hey, where you going?! *grabs his soul* Jon: That was terrifying Damian: Well at least your soul was going upwards

****

Damian: I don't know I'd do something petty like take away something he likes and not give that back Damian: YOU STOLE HIS MOM?! Jon: What? You said to take something he likes? Damian: SOMETHING NOT SOMEONE!

****

Damian: He didn't see it Jon: Draw his attention to it, make a wallet sound Damian: Wallet! Jon: Thats not that sound a wallet makes Damian: You do it since your so- Jon: *wallet sounds* Damian: Actually, that was really good.

[timmydrakeee]

hii :) for the violence ask game: 7, 13,16 and 24 <3

Hi! :D Thank you for choosing some of the most terrifying questions here, you definitely know how to get me rambling.

Right *cracks knuckles* let's get to it. Buckle up, this is gonna be LONG.

7. What character did you begin to hate not because of canon but because of how the fandom acts about them?

Actually there's a funny story here bc when I first got into this fandom, it was through fanfic and that was the only way I interacted with it for the first year or so. With that in mind, I loved reading Tim fics and a lot of Tim fics are not very nice to Dick or Steph.

Dick, in particular I genuinely hated for the first six months bc I actually believed he tried to put Tim in Arkham and was like 'wtf???' So in a way how fandom treated Dick as a caricature of himself alongside making him comically awful made me hate him for a while.

With Steph, it was more like 'why are you only written as Tim's waffle loving ex who faked her death supposedly???' I actually thought she was funny and liked how bold she could be when written well, but fanon's portrayal actually stopped me from fully loving her until I read Batgirl 2000 and spiralled from there.

13. Worst blorborfication

It's actually so hard to choose but I think I have to just say Tim. The sick, abandoned, Victorian boy trope fanon assigns to him is TIRING.

Not to say I don't love indulging in Tim angst, hell, I write a lot of it. But this whole underweight, wet kitten thing the fandom has going on in regards to him is just...no. He's not a poor, helpless baby, he's a little asshole surrounded by other assholes and sometimes that backfires.

And the whole "every character but Tim is a villain" along with ignoring the other characters' pain just to focus on his is just plain bad storytelling too. Not to say you can't focus on it, again, I do, but Dick, Steph and Damian aren't the devils incarnate just because they made Tim sad a few times. They're just flawed, complicated, hurt people like he is which I think makes for a more interesting story rather than mindlessly villainising them.

16. You can't understand why so many people like this thing (characterization, tropes, headcanona etc)

Hoo boy I could go for DAYS about this one. But to restrain myself, I'll focus on two characterizations that I really don't understand why people use like so much.

"Duke is the normal one" is not only untrue, but such a dull way to characterize a funny, interesting and complex character. The guy's a lil hater who roasts people mostly unprovoked, it's hilarious. I just don't understand why people use it at all because it does nothing, adds nothing and only serves to make people who actually like Duke want to scream into the abyss.

Also Cass being the perfect, silent, well adjusted sister *snorts* that woman wouldn't know well adjusted if it kicked her in the face (affectionate) and the only "perfect" ideal she reaches is being a perfect fighter - at least in her eyes, I personally think her self preservation instincts could use some work but I digress.

24. Topic that brings up the most rancid discourse.

Ooooh you're spoiling me with this question. The DC fandom has so much rancid discourse bc it has a lot of issues with, well, anyone who isn't a member of the "fab five." But I'll behave and just focus on one.

A topic that really brings out an ugly side to this fandom is anything to do with Talia al Ghul. Her and Jason? "Evil, brainwashing lady who slept with him!!" Her and Bruce? "Evil, seductive lady who roofied him!!" Her and Damian? "Evil, cold hearted lady who hates her son!!" Her and Tim? "Evil, mean lady who made Jason and Damian try to kill him!!"

It is truly ENDLESS. Talia would probably get blamed for one of the guys stubbing their toe at this point if the fandom saw fit. So yeah, arguments can get real ugly over here when Talia discourse comes up.

Thanks so much for giving me the chance to rant and rave like a drunk preacher on a soapbox!!! 💜💜💜

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR DEAR TIM DRAKE/RED ROBIN ❤️❤️❤️

............................................................................................................................................................

The Batfam hiding in the dark inside of Tim's apartment with his friends from YJ, waiting for him to celebrate:

Ninja, sent by Ra's to deliver rare flowers, amazingly crafted weapons, poisoned tea bags and a letter full of threats and appreciation:

Lady Shiva, here to have a dual with Tim, holding a bo-staff made with the best materials:

The door of the apartment opening up. Everyone looking at it in anticipation before Tam walks through it disappointing everyone.

Tam: Tim refuses to come in, so...

Tam, pointing towards the ninja: you leave.

Tam, pointing towards Shiva: you come back later.

Tam, pointing towards the bats and YJ: you stay.

Ninja, leaving after putting down the gifts

Lady Shiva, leaving after setting an exact hour with Tam to come back for Tim:

Tim, finally walking through the door already looking exhausted:

Jason not being able to hold himself back: what the fuck was that?!

Everyone now staring at Tim.

Tim, gaslighting master, looking at everyone with tear filled eyes and a wobbly smile: you remembered my birthday?

Everyone quickly forgetting what happened earlier and comforting him:

Cass, with a knowing smile: evil little brother

Tim, smiling innocently: thanks, I try.

[timmydrakeee]

Ive seen things where people have kids who are dark haired and eyed at birth and turn light haired and eyes when they get older or vice versa.

I headcanon Janet with blonde hair and green eyes and Jack with black hair blue eyes.

Im using this on Tim.

Tim was born with blonde hair green eyes and looked like Jack as a baby, but when he got older, around 4ish, he turned black haired and blue eyed and started looking like Janet.

His parents were both in a love hate relationship with this change. On one hand they want him to have their colors and look like them...

On the other hand they miss when he used to look like the other parent.

Just imagine:

Tim going through old pictures in his gazillion boxes of pictures, the family is helping him.

"Who's this baby? Steph's?"

Someone asks. They look over to see Duke holding a photo of a blonde baby, smiling a gummy smile with curly blonde hair and green emerald eyes looking brighter than a kryptonian in the sun.

"No.. That's.. who is that baby?"

Steph asked very slowly. Guess they forgot to tell Duke that Steph's daughter was a sensitive topic amongst them.

"Steph gave up her daughter at birth, Duke. And it was a traumatic experience for her so we don't talk about it."

Bruce informed.

"O-Oh! I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you didn't know"

She waved him off with a smile, but everyone still wondered who the baby was.

"Tim?"

"Yeah?"

Tim replied from inside his closet. He walked out upon no reply, setting down another box filled with camera equipment and saw all their confused faces.

"Who's baby is this?"

Duke turned the picture and Tim looked at it closer.

"Oh!"

Tim smiled, taking it and putting it next to his face.

"It's me!"

He smiled just as bright as the baby, which happened to be him, in the picture.

.

.

.

"WHAT!?"

The family, including Alfred, stared jaw dropped shocked at the guy.

The baby in the photo, smiling oh so brightly like the sun, green eyed, blonde curly hair, with the cutest little red polka dot dress on, was Tim, who had straight-ish black hair and blue eyes, didn't smile as brightly as the moon, who only gave smirks and grins, and was wearing a long sleeves under a Limp Bizkit t shirt with very baggy jeans.

"Yeah.. Genetics! Ya know..?"

"Explain."

Jason demanded.

"Well, up until I was 4-ish I had my dad's face but my mom's green eyes and blonde curly hair, but then it turned black and my eyes turned blue and straight-ish and I started looking more like my mom."

He rubbed his neck sheepishly.

That started the searching of Tim's baby photos. They'd organize the Bat photos and the hero photos later, right now they needed to find all of the blonde hair green eyed baby Tim photos.

It was no secret that Tim was trans, so when all the photos of a little girl in dresses and skirts showed up they weren't phased. It was hilarious to see all the pouty faced pictured of Tim in dresses.

The photos did get put up around the house with Tim's (begrudgingly(willingly)) permission.

Dick wanted him to bleach his hair but he refuses to damage his hair.

But also imagine this:

The older that Tim gets, the blonde comes back. He still looks like his mom, but his slowly starts turning blonde again, and his eyes start having a greener tint/hue to it.

The first to notice was Bart.

Bart was braiding Tim's rather ling hair when he points it out.

"Hey Tim, your hair's got some blonde in it!"

"What?"

Tim runs to the mirror and looks in it. Yep. Sure enough his hair was growing some blonde strands. And now that he looked, his eyes looked more green than it's normal blue.

"Oh my gosh.."

He calls Bruce.

Bruce who was in a JL meeting.

"I'm in a meeting."

"B! Im going blonde again! Ans my eyes! They're turning green!"

Tim says, somewhat panicked, somewhat excited.

Bruce blanks. Because.. what. What do you mean his baby boy, who he loved staring at the blonde and green eyed baby pictures of, was resorting back to that color.

"...really?"

He asks very hesitantly at first.

"Yeah!"

Tim turns his head down, showing his scalp. And there, right there, were several prominent, yet blended, strands of blonde growing in a curl pattern amongst the straight black locks.

Bruce just about cries right then and there.

Because then Tim does a close up of his eyes. And yep. His eyes have a but of green in them.

"That's great, sweetie. But I'm in a meeting right now."

"Oh! Sorry!"

He hangs up.

Bruce doesn't.

He's still stuck on the call smiling like a sappy parent whose kid just did something so small yet so touching. There were tears in his eyes and none of the JL knew what to do.

[timmydrakeee]

Felt bored, here's my projecting health issues onto the Batfam again:

Alfred, setting down a pharmacy bag, inhaling sharply: COME GET YOUR DRUGS!

Bruce, dragging himself in:

Tim, slowly looking up from his phone with a dead eyed expression: If it isn't a monster energy drink and seventeen caffeine pills I no no want it.

Cass: I am not on drugs?

Dick: It's our prescriptions, Cass.

Jason: You people are the reason I carry narcan around.

Alfred: You're all on enough prescriptions to fill a pharmacy. Now, let's begin...

Alfred, raising a pill bottle: Pain medication for Master Bruce for the back pain Bane inflicted on him from his wonderful career choices! Unfortunately we don't have the several other medications he should be taking for his mental state...

Bruce: Alfred, please...

Alfred, raising another two pill bottles: Anti-inflammatory and pain medication for Master Dick for his hypermobility he refuses to see a doctor for.

Dick, taking the pills: It's not that painful, Alfie, it's just my bones being slackers :D

Alfred: Master Jason's anti psychotics for the psychosis caused by the Lazarus Pit.

Jason: My therapist is less concerned than last week!

Alfred: Wonderful news, Master Jason... Master Tim, your sleeping pills and anemia medication.

Tim, slowly standing before promptly passing out because POTS sucks:

Alfred, sighing: Somebody please see to it that Master Timothy did not receive another concussion.

Alfred: Master Dick, your ADHD medication.

Dick: I forgot I take these.

Alfred: We know, master Dick.

Bruce, inspecting Tim: Have I failed as a Father?

Alfred: No more than I have. Now, Miss Cassandra, your anxiety medication.

Cass: Thank you, Alfred.

Alfred: You are most welcome, dear. Damian, your allergy pills since you insist on surrounding yourself with farm animals.

Damian: Tt, a runny nose and itchy eyes are a small price to pay for love, Pennyworth.

Alfred: Bipolar medication for Miss Stephanie.

Stephanie: Do you need to announce what the pills are for..?

Alfred: Master Bruce keeps all your information stored on a supercomputer anyone can look at if they guess his password, which is just Master Dick's birthday—

Jason: WHAT!? IT USED TO BE MINE!

Cass: Hurt.

Stephanie: Utter betrayal.

Dick: Wait really??

Bruce: Hrn...

Alfred: And Master Jason's inhaler.

Jason: Wish I had this when I was inhaling all that smoke and died from an asthma attack!

Dick: . . . WHAT!?

Cass: You what?

Jason: B never told you? Yeah, it wasn't the bomb or crowbar that did it, it was the smoke.

Jason: Haha.

Jason: My inhaler broke from the impact.

Jason: I spent my final moments suffocating.

Jason: I died painfully.

Bruce: Hrn...

Tim, slowly coming back to consciousness: Did I die?

Alfred: And Master Tim's testerone.

Tim: Nice. Dick drugs.

Alfred: . . . And birth control.

Tim: Yay, de-baby-nators.

Bruce, sighing: I have failed as a Father...

Jason: Wait, why doesn't Duke have to take medication?

Duke: I do, I just pick it up myself so I don't have to be put through this embarrassment.

Bruce: Are we done here?

Alfred: Yes, thank you for allowing me my weekly enjoyment of having the family in one place and admitting you're all deeply troubled.

Alfred: Good day.

[timmydrakeee]

The kitchen is dark but in the shadows of the open fridge Tim's hand pauses it's path towards a cold can of Zesti. His eyes narrow before he moves, drink hidden behind the quiet clatter of the closing fridge door and the whir of a knife rushing to where his head had once been.

Tim grasps a cooking knife from the block and stands, poised, before letting it fly. Lady Shiva laughs. "Well hello again, little bird."

Tim sighs. "Alexa, call Cass."

"Calling.... Cass"

Shiva's eyes narrow and her grins widen as she leaps forward. Tim dodges, but only just, the his shirt catching, sliced at the edge of a bo's blade. His hand reaches to the folding bo sat at the base of his back ajd then they are dancing, fighting, legs pumping and arms clashing.. "Hey, whats up?"

"CASS!!!! YOUR EGG DONOR IS IN THE FLIPPING KITCHEN!"

"Ah."

The fight continues as Cass hangs up, sighing and cracking her back, gazing around her quiet room, ballet posters on the walls and knives on the dresser.

She heads downstairs, to the kitchen...

[timmydrakeee]

When Dick was a teenager and at odds with Bruce, he tried to get a piercing as a form of rebellion. He heard from his friends that their parents totally flipped, so he got himself an earring.

Blue, gaudy, and bedazzled.

When he showed up to the manor with it, he made sure to strut in front of Jason and pretend he didn’t care that his little brother was practically fawning over how cool he looked.

The moment Bruce came into the room, Dick was expecting a huge confrontation and a yelling match, like his friends had all said would happen.

Instead, Bruce lit up and smiled at Dick before leaving the room in a hurry.

Jason and Dick exchanged confused glances before Bruce came back holding a picture and beaming proudly.

The picture is of teen Bruce with a whole bunch of piercings, looking like an ethereal vampire. Snake bites that made it look like he had fangs, industrial, lobe, septum, bridge, etc. Just a lot.

The boys are slack-jawed at their Dad looking like that while Bruce is fondly telling him about all the piercings he had and how he wished he had more, but Alfred wouldn’t let him

“I also had a belly piercing. Ollie convinced me to get that one back at boarding school.” Bruce said wistfully, reminiscing about his intense goth era when he didn’t have to worry too much about public perception.

Dick is mortified because for more than half a second he actually thought his Dad was super cool again. Jason is ooh-ing and awe-ing at the picture.

When Dick does back his apartment, he considers taking the piercing out and letting the hole close up, but he feels slightly bad since Bruce was trying to connect with him.

[timmydrakeee]

I don't think Tim would kill the Joker, not even after Joker Junior.

I do, however, think he could manipulate someone else into it and retain the moral high ground, instead. After all, if someone else does it and he doesn't directly tell then to- well that was their decision, and he need not worry.

Tim, to Shiva: yeah but loads of people have defeated The Bat at this point. Just look at the Joker. I mean, Joker's basically unkillable. There's not a single assassin or vigilante or hero that could kill him. He just keeps on living and causing chaos.

Shiva: I cluld

Tim: no, no you really can't. But it's OK! Lots of people can't! It would take only the best to kill Joker. I mean sure, a LoA member might be able to...

Shiva: I will.

Tim, shrugging: whatever! You can do what you want but don't say I didn't warn you...

A week later, Joker's dead and Tim is biting back a grin as Bruce glares at them all.

Bruce: "Alright, who did it?"

Nightwing: you need to face it, B, it wasn't any of us.

Bruce, glaring at Tim: the wounds looked similar to that of a bo staff-

Tim, rolling his eyes: I was busy at Joker's ToD. Besides. I'm the best, but not the only bo staff user in the world. Lady Shiva rivals me as well- could have been her.

Bruce, scowl deepenign: and how exactly do you know Joker's ToD?

Tim points at the screen, wordlessly. The phrase "Time of Death: 22:19" were written in bold.

Bruce grimaced. : and what exactly where you doing? I don't believe you were with us which gives you no alabi-

Tim: I was with Bernard.

Bruce: doing what?

Tim: Bernard.

Steph snorts in response.

Steph: let it go, B. Clearly it wasn't any of us. Maybe some assassin with a grudge took him out- honestly, we should be celebrating!

Jason cheers in the background and starts grabbing the most expensive bottles from Bruce's alcohol collection.

[timmydrakeee]

any time drake headcanons? :D

Well most of my headcanons are kind of unconnected?? Like it could depend on the subject and things like that but I'll try to put then in an understandable way!!

•Tim is not a coffee addict, he prefers tea seeing as it's one of the only ways he and Janet connected whenever she was around, and later one was one of the moments he enjoyed the most with Alfred during his earlier years. But I do believe his absolutely whipped when it comes to Zesti even though he might drink some from time to time.

•He used to stalk the bats and he still does, even though when he was younger he would follow them around with a camera, nowadays he will just hack into their electronics or track them down so he could keep an eye on them, it's either for blackmail purposes or Tim wanting to check on his family.

•During his first years as Robin, Tim never coddled Bruce, like washing him, feeding him, ect... I prefer the fact that this little gremlin looked the Batman himself in the eyes and literally bullied him into taking care of himself, even going as far as to guilt trip him into taking care of himself.

•Since Tim was trained by lady shiva in paris, that means that other then his brilliant mind his body also became a weapon, she trained him in every way possible, she made him master different weapons even if he ended up choosing a bo-staff. Shiva is proud each time he defeats her. No one knows that he was trained by her, since Bruce didn't send him to her, which makes for funny scenarios whenever it is revealed, either by Tim himself or by Shiva.

•He knows how to cook and bake, sure his cooking may not be top tier, chef kiss, cuisine, but his food is good, tasty and delicious. Seeing how he grew up alone, and was a curious child I just love to imagine a tiny Timmy standing on a stool cooking vegetables, mixing batter and getting himself covered in flour.

•Seeing how we always joke about him looking like a victorian child, I started subconsciously seeing him as Russian, with how pale he looks and how big and blue his eyes look like, with straight hair that reaches the back of his neck

•HOWEVER, one of my favorite headcanons is that of him having light olive skin, like bc of the pollution and lack of sunlight in Gotham may make him look lighter in shades, but when he is in other cities like Metropolis, central city, Kansas, and many other ones, I like to imagine the way his skin will shine under the sunlight making him glow under it (this headcannon was actually inspired by inkpotsprite, I love their work)

•Tim is morally ambiguous, he doesn't not see in white and black, he only sees in shades of grey, he didn't hesitate to blow up the LOA servers when he deemed it necessary to get himself and Tam out of there, he never understood why Bruce was so set on believing that the likes of the Joker could ever redeem themselves, but in some way, the kid that saw him beating up thugs after the death of Jason knew that Bruce couldn't cross the line, and he made his peace with that fact

•Him and Barbara met each other during one of the galas that Bruce hosted, the purpose of that gala for him to keep an eye on the corrupt cops so that he could see who they were interacting with, during that time a 5 year old Tim drake and a 10 year old Dick accompanied by a 12 year old Barbara, since they were the only kids in that gala, Dick and Babs made it a mission upon themselves to take care of little Timmy.

•Tim and Steph are on better terms after the break up, even better then when they were together, it was like they were never meant to be romantic, they always have of platonic vibes, and with the whole Robin problem it was harder for them to stay on good terms, they are better off as besties in that family (but if you ship them then go for it❤️, I don't dislike it per say but it's just not my cup of tea)

•His parents loved him, even if they were never present when it mattered and where constantly absent. It something that he knows, something that he understood was neglect. He understands and knows they weren't the best parents even if jack did try to make it up to him after he woke up from his coma. He hates them and loves them at the same time.

•Seeing how he grew up in high society, many expectations where placed on him, but he never really cared about school sure he got his A's with the occasional B's and C's here and there that he changes on the digital footprint, but he was as much of a troublemaker, getting detention, talking back to the teachers that deserve it, and scaring the living shit out of the school bullies.

•Tim and Cass don't look like twins, sure they may have leaner body types but they can be distinguished quite easily and pale skin, I do love the arts and fanfics that depicts them as twins, but I like to believe that due to them living in a house full of detectives that have mastered the art of body language, that differentiating them would be easier, the tension in Tim's shoulder that Cass doesn't have, the fluidity in movements that Cass uses everywhere, the way they hold themselves, little details that from the back no one other than their family can see.

•Duke and Tim are close, not in the "we survived hell together" kind of way, but in the "he understands me because we are both teenagers In this stupid family". They go out together, play video games, talk, duke gets a say in what projects could be beneficial for Gotham and Tim helps him out with the subjects he struggles with.

•His and Jason relation is stable, they are closer then ever, Jason apologized for the Titans tower and the graveyard attacks and is making it up to Tim, and even tho a part of Tim already forgave his brother he still wants to be a little shit to him by using it as an excuse so that Jason would do whatever Tim wants, like a little brother.

•After bringing back Bruce from the timeline, Tim had a talk with Dick explaining to him how he felt after Robin had been taken away from him and how hurt he already was from all the deaths happening around him, Dick remembering how it had felt for Bruce to take away Robin from him apologized to Tim and promised to never make the same mistake to him or any of their siblings.

•Damian no longer sees him as a rival or a threat to his position in the family, Dick and Bruce had a long talk with him explaining that he was wanted in the family for his own self and he doesn't need to take someone's place to feel loved by them, that Tim, Cass, Jason, Duke and Steph were as much his siblings as Dick was, nowadays him and Tim only fight for fun in the brotherly way, and they mostly gang up on their older sibling with duke.

•Lucius and Tam are close to Tim since he took over WE and DI (drake industries), Bruce still helps with the paperwork but Tim is now the main face of the companies, the board hates him because of his age but still respects his decisions seeing how the neon knights was a hit and raised the companies stocks.

•He is still in contact with Pru, and she drops by his penthouse from time to time with either the information he asked her to bring or just to hang out with him.

•Tim and Alfred have a mandatory tea session every Sunday at 3pm, they started doing it back during his days as Robin but they kept doing it since Tim liked having time to spend with Alfred talking about everything and nothing (I know Alfred is the worst in most comics and I do hate him for the *good soldier* on the memorial for Jason and him just handing the cape to Tim, and him helping Bruce with 16 birthday test but God knows this family needs a grandpa to watch over them).

•Alfred apologized to all the kids for his behavior and showed remorse over his actions, most of them are still hurt because of him but they are getting closer with time.

•The core four of YJ are still as close as ever and Red Tornado is still as exasperated by them, the reports of their past mission are vague and whenever one of their mentors asks them to clarify something they just stare them in the eyes and say "you don't wanna know" before leaving, the JLA is rightfully terrified of what it means.

•Bruce made all of the JLA apologize to Tim after finding out of just how isolated he was just because of him believing that Bruce was alive, he gave them all the cold shoulder for weeks and would call them insane and unstable each time they made theories, when they confronted him over it, he stared them in the eyes and just said "not so fun having your sanity questioned?". From that day on no one was ever questioned over something they said no matter how impossible it might sound.

•Him and Cissie meet in galas and will make a game of just how many socialites they could indirectly insult in front of their faces.

I have so many mixed feelings over some characters that even I get confused sometimes 😭😭.

Well those are the ones I could think of right now!! Remember those are just headcanons not Canon even if some little details may have been taken from there.

Anyways, hope you enjoyed❤️❤️

Thinking about Vampire Tim AU and him saving Bruce via turning.

None of the Drakes are actually Vampires, at least not permanently. It was a very strange instance that occurred out of pure chance and coincidence.

A pregnant Janet Drake in a foreign country having a run in with a starving vampire rouge that bite her just a few days before she gave birth.

Instead of the curse spreading to her, the labour of her child pushed and the spreading of lifeform spread to her baby as it was born. The child looked healthy, had no inhuman features, and they assumed her being so sick was simply the fact she was about to give birth.

Tim doesn’t realise what he is for a while purely because his parents are vegan and, until he was seven and had some beef from a classmates lunch, hadn’t had any blood enter his mouth.

Having to teach himself everything, Tim learned to manage both his hunger and abilities as quickly as he could. He studied history and mythos and did several test to figure out the limits to what he needed and could do.

He learnt that he could heal via blood, that he could go without air for days, and that his hearing was normal though his sense of smell was enough to distinguish blood types.

He learn that he could go two weeks without blood before it became a problem, but if he pushed it past three weeks he would start to experience literally decay.

Tim disconcerted his saving grace was that the hunger wasn’t as uncontrollable as people made it out to be in movies and books. At most, it was just like normal human hunger or thirst, and he was aware there was a huge variable in him being raised rather poorly.

He keeps it hidden for years, but then when he’s nineteen Bruce dies.

Not Batman, Bruce.

They got in a car crash of all things, the other drive running after they drove them off the road on the extremely rare instance that Alfred wasn’t driving.

Tim watched the tree branch in his foster father’s chest for several minutes as he thought about his options. Bruce was dead upon impact, gone with only the last wisps of life hanging to him.

Bruce was a father.

Batman was needed.

Even though it would out what he was, Tim forced his several sharp teeth out, all needle sharp and long enough his jaw had to unhinge slightly, and bit into his own wrist. The fangs, an inch long each, dug into his skin painfully before moving to dig into each of Bruce’s wrist and then finally his neck.

Tim smeared the blood into all three wounds and then squeezed as much as he could into Bruce’s mouth.

He had no idea how he knew what to do, trusting the instinct the curse seemed to just… give him.

When Bruce begins to breath again, Clark finally shows up. It’s been a total of eleven minutes and Tim only realises that the other took so long because he had been off planet, yet he is grateful because if he had been there…

Tim instructs Clark on how to cover up the scene, removing the cars and getting Bruce to the cave.

Dick is freaking out, worrying over his brothers ripped clothes and Bruce’s clear injuries, but Tim is quiet.

He takes Bruce’s medical cot and leads them both into a containment cell and then seals it, implementing his own lock as well as one of Bruce’s so no one can open it. He can hear someone banging on the glass a few times but he ignores it to stand over his father’s side and wait for him to wake up.

Naturally, when the older man does he’s panicked and screening Tim’s name.

Tim smiles at him sadly before taking hold of his hand, which Bruce immediately process as wrong.

“Why aren’t I dead?”

Smile growing sadder before fading to an almost formal look, Tim squeezed his hand before pulling away.

“I know you’ve had your suspicions and I thank you for trusting me regardless, but you are right. I’m not human Bruce, and now… you aren’t either.”

He lets the worlds settle for just a moment before continuing, knowing the other will want all the information he can. They’re both so similar in that way.

“I was born a vampire, I will always be a vampire. I will explain that all to you soon, but what you need to know is this: you do not need to drink human blood, you will not loose control over your thirst if you allow me to train you, and yes I had no choice. Gotham needs Batman and I-… I need my father. I will not apologise for my selfishness, but I am sorry you have to be like me.”

Bruce is quiet but he doesn’t move to kick Tim out, nor does he shout at him or cry in betrayal.

He’s surprised, but not more than Tim had ever seen before.

It’s almost an hour of silence between them before Bruce speaks again, “You… you are actually nineteen?”

Tim scoffs and Bruce glares, which makes Tim smile more, “I am. My body will age until around twenty five, at least that’s my hypothesis. If you are turned you stay the age you were, but I was born.”

Bruce nods and after a moment reaches out for his son’s hand.

Another silence before he squeezes it, “Have you told the others about… this change?”

Tim winces, “I tried to keep us separated because I knew you would worry for hurting someone, but I knew Damian would break in if he couldn’t listen so…”

“Ah. Understood.”

Then, in another rare instance that Tim thought he wouldn’t see for at least another few years, Bruce opens his arms to him for a hug.

Naturally, Tim crumbles into his father’s arms and sobs louder than a war drum.

Bruce kisses his head and holds him tight, a vampire embrace.

What’s that one fic on AO3 where Tim thinks he killed his dad and he tries to call Dick but accidentally calls Jason instead? He is hiding under a desk for the most part and in the end, it turns out that Jack Drake was actually still alive. Also, Jack was like trying to sell Robin/Tim??

I have been looking for it for a while.
