Tim Drake captured my brain a year and a half ago and even though I’ve went through at least twenty interests in that time, I always return to her…

Me: It must be nice to not get obsessed so easily.

Also me, with Tim Drake as my eternal hyperfixation: Couldn’t relate even if I tried.

[kad3spad3]

It's baffling to me when people don't want to "yes and" in a fandom space. When they're like "no, you're wrong, this is how the characters behave and this is how it would go." Like sorry, but sounds like a skill issue to me. I have a boundless imagination and can imagine the blorbos falling in love in a million different ways 🤷‍♀️

The vigilante dating world is, perhaps, a bit too small

the girls

Transfem Tim headcanon

After coming out to the public she changes her name to Timothy Janet Drake, to honor her mother. At this point both her mother and father have already been dead for years but she thinks her mother would appreciate the thought.

My girl… favorite Robin forever

Another Tim Drake fanart cause I love him so much. I'll go crazy if I don't draw my boy once in a while.

[kad3spad3]

I’m like Dean Winchester if he was a queer teenager who was also the youngest of the family

[kad3spad3]

Transfem Tim Drake will always have such an important place in my heart. That’s literally my daughter!!! And they’re not enough fics for her that I’m considering making my own.

[kad3spad3]

this is what it looks like to plan out my fics when I'm tired. I'll take the writing seriously but my notes are so insane and unintelligible

[kad3spad3]

I love how they simply can’t fathom their father doing that. “What the HELL did you just say?!” The shocked face Duke has. Jason and Dick looking disgusted. Love this page

“Technically you’re both easy-to-kill Robin.” Ok Tim lets calm down now 😭

I hate this piece and also love it at the same time lol XD, I was giggling so much while doing the text portion

[kad3spad3]

This is actually what is happening to me right now. I will never get past this stupid introduction scene

a big part of the writing process is that when i get to an action scene, i just stare at my document for a few days trying to figure out how the fuck to write it
