still holding on to the “kryptonians can’t stay up super late” agenda. anyway every time tim returns from a mission where he’s been gone for an extended period of time, kon becomes CLINGY

anyways we all know that, unlike many of his readers, yost shows a strong grasp of tim's canon history as evidenced by his many call backs and the context sprinkled throughout his red robin run culminating in tim calling in all his friends and the network he built up for himself as robin to help him. one little thing i think is overlooked as far as him being a tim understander is how smart he was in was how he had tim allocate his friends and family:

he had tim give dick the job of ultimately protecting tim, showcasing tim's strong trust in his brotherhood with dick, knowing that dick would always come for him

he had tim give helena the job of protecting lucius and the attorney/the actual switching over of the shares to stop hush from giving away the company--this showcases both tim's high level of trust in helena to take care of arguably one of the most important parts of the plan which makes sense given their extensive history + helena's history in the hush story that he trusts her so much to place her here to protect the family from hush

he sent kon to alfred, wanting to ensure his family's safety with someone he trusts more than anything

he sent cassie to babs, knowing that babs wouldn't really need protection but still he had to send someone so she wouldn't feel left out of his protect the people i love scheme and thought the vibes of greek mythology-adjunct cassie and the all seeing oracle would be funny and thematically appropriate

i have SO MANY THOUGHTS about tim being cool or not i love him dearly and i think it's so interesting how he's treated by the text <3

because like we the presumed 14 year old boy audience are supposed to think tim is cool, but we're also supposed to think that he's a loser. he's both. he's cool because he's a loser. it's cool to be a loser, that's the message of so many of his comics. when he is tim drake, the things that make him a loser in-universe are supposed to make him cool to the audience.

i think it's really interesting from a real-world perspective how the authors used tim to try and basically tell the reader "it's cool to do the right thing!" and "be true to yourself!" in a way that didn't come across as incredibly cringe or preachy.

two big examples of this in my mind are robin II and batman: seduction of the gun.

in robin II karl comes over to tim and his friends, insults ives, then asks tim to come to his party because he seems like he'd be cool if he wasn't friends with losers.

robin ii #1

while it might not be cool in-universe that tim is ditching a party to go play warlocks and warriors (he doesn't because he's busy with robin, but to his peers that is presumably what he would be doing), we the audience ARE supposed to think it's cool (the fun slam effect from his locker, his "i like to have friends not a crowd" line) that he doesn't take shit and stands up for his friends and his principles.

or like tim is repeatedly shown (robin 1993 #25, batman: seduction of the gun) to go to an adult when things get out of control in his life as tim drake, and he worries on page about being a snitch. he very much isn't being "cool" here when he takes his friends out of the room as soon as hudson starts waving the gun around, and he especially isn't "cool" when he gets alfred to call hudson's mom.

batman: seduction of the gun

i'm sure a lot of us had situations when we were kids where our friends were doing something that we didn't think was right but we went along with it anyways because we were scared of being considered uncool or unfun. the fact that tim refuses to do that and stands up for what he thinks is right is supposed to be seen by the audience as cool, even though if he was real his friends would have probably thought he was a massive loser for this.

i think it's really interesting how who tim is as a character inherently re-frames these sorts of situations for the audience. tim is incredibly disciplined and brave, it's shown in basically all his robin scenes, so putting that side-by-side with stories about tim dealing with problems in his personal life demonstrates how one can be "like robin" in their real life without feeling like a PSA (granted seduction of the gun does feel kind of PSA because it was written with the explicit intention to promote awareness of gun safety and the reality of gun violence, but other similar comics like robin 1993 #25 don't feel nearly as preachy)

tim was designed to be relatable and a good role model for fourteen year old boys in the 90s and that is integral to his character, it's at the core of almost all of his civilian stories in the 90s. i think its why a lot of modern tim stuff feels very OOC. his audience isn't the same anymore. but that audience made him, so without that he doesn't feel like the same character.

my great friend @ryssbelle did another commission amazing spectacular commission of this canon dynamic duo, who had their own 500 issue run that’s still ongoing

[dreams-log]

“you’re alive! :D” “we covered this?? i thought??”

happy late-middle-of-pride <3 reunion hug but tim picks kon up :] probably based off a suggestion from rimi forever ago

from red robin (2009) issue #9, naturally

[dreams-log]

yall… dickbats + batgirl!cass + robin!tim would’ve been such a powerful trio…

[dreams-log]

the song that I associate with them💕

Headcanon TimBart💚❤️:

Tim loves taking pictures of Bart when they spend time together. It's the only way to capture him frozen in the moment.

Bart loves drawing Tim all the time

bonus: ⬇️ (a little BirdFlash)

actually wanted to add a funny caption like:

Nightwing: Look! It's literally a mini-us

Flash: Dude...

but it turned out as if Nightwing was shocked that they were together😅

also i have a huge headcanon that Bart is pansexual 🩷💛🩵
