Important not to mess up the timeline when doing time travel shit and meeting your younger self but that doesn't mean you can't make bad jokes about future trauma they have no clue about

My favorite thing is when Tim's family thinks he's the most put together of them all and it's the best Robin or whatever when really he's a total adrenaline junkie, psycho, who is always one inconvenience away from going on a killing spree and becoming THE number 1 supervillain

The inherent homoeroticism of kissing the cheek of the man you are about to betray

I know Tim is usually portrayed as a "thinks mayonnaise is proper seasoning" white guy, but I love the idea of mixed Tim, especially half east Asian Tim, and even MORE specifically, half Japanese Tim. Idk why it just makes sense in my brain. Every Tim I write is half Japanese in my mind even if it doesn't make it to the final product.

I also like the idea of white passing, half Korean Tim. Imagine everyone thinking he can't handle spice because they've seen Bruce trying to eat takis and he almost died, but Tim grew up with his mother's kimchi which was made to burn through solid steel and has an unhealthy obsession with spicy noodles (think buldak, shin ramyun, etc). This guy could eat California Reapers like grapes without so much as flushing and is honestly terrifying to witness (i guess this scenario would also work with Japanese!Tim, but tbh I know more about spicy Korean food than spicy Japanese food).

Hc that Tim read a shit ton of parenting books before he became Robin specifically so he knew how to handle Bruce.

Absolutely. He read some books or looked online for things like "how to help your child through grief," "losing a parent," "help my child is a furry," "adoption trauma," "how to ground your child," "taking away your kid's car keys," and "how to add more color to your kid's closet." They've given Tim varying levels of success.

He even has a reddit account for parenting advice.

My brain: "wouldn't be the first bug I saw today"

My mouth: "fist burg"

the understanding robin

Tim completely understanding that his training was different from Jason's and Dick's because Bruce was at a low point but still not really trusting him to train Damian. As much as he hated the pompous brat, a small part of him was relieved when Dick took over his Robin training. Logically, Tim knew Bruce was better now. He knew that Bruce would pull his punches when weapons sparring, he knew Bruce was picky about the missions he allowed Damian on (even now when Damian had been Robin for years). The care Bruce shows Damian painfully relieving. He lets out a breath every time he finds Damian unbruised after a sparring session, ignoring the phantom aches of a younger him. Still, there was that dark wriggling mass inside him that made him keep an eye on the mats whenever he caught them training. One time he barely restrains himself from jumping up from the batcomputer and rushing over when Bruce flips Damian onto the mats a bit too roughly. Of course, Bruce is immediately muttering apologies, which Damian shrugs off easily, and cancels the rest of training so he can look him over. As the father and son duo leave, neither older man can look at the other. One day Bruce will apologize, will explain everything Tim already knows. Then Tim will do what he's always done, and ease his guilt with understanding.

Time traveller Dick Grayson from the future: "Oh wow, you guys are fighting Mr.Freeze right now, I kind of remember that actually. Where are you at by now?"

Tim, figuring there's no harm: "Uh, we are kind of stuck on his location, don't suppose you'd help out?"

Dick, who has completely forgotten: "Sorry, I think that'd mess with something or another. Just know that you do figure it out." pats Tim on the back

Tim: "Great, very helpful. Also, in your time, does Freeze ever stop?"

Dick: "Stop what?"

Tim: "Trying to defrost his wife? Honestly, at this point I'd have given up, I can't imagine anyone that's worth it like that.

Dick, mentally telling himself: *do not think about the clones right now, do not think about the clones right now--*

Dick: "Well let's just keep an open mind, huh?"
