did Tim Drake have any friends in middle school? or why are all his friends spawning in high school. Bernard, Ives, Ali, Ariana. I mean I know the comics mostly follow him as a teen, but surely there must have been SOMEONE before, right?

tim + brentwood characters as boys i was legitimately friends with in high school and think of every single day:

Buzz- Jake (fake names for all of my friends bc privacy reasons) who complained about hanging out with nerds, got into a fistfight with someone else on his football team bc they called us nerds, was thoroughly convinced he'd run laps faster if he was hopped up on pixie stix (i held his backback while he got sick in the bathroom👍👍), he tried to hit on my older sister and she laughed at him, he was so put out he contemplated becoming a monk for a week

Wes: Max, who i helped sneak an entire bottle of orange juice on to the bus to our choir competition, but was unaware he brought a full bottle of vodka as well, ended up crying on our choir teacher for the three hours after the comp and i bought him a box of donuts after school, he did not stop doing this and had severe beef with a kid he knew in 5th grade and hadnt seen since but also hadnt forgotten their name and last i knew, was still awaiting for a dreaded confrontation to eventually come

Kip: Eduardo, who we all thought was studying during lunch but was actually filling his notebook with weird facts he observed about us and also managed to chew several packs of gum at once throughout our math class before the teacher noticed him, didnt know the plot to the clockwork orange so i lied about it for 5 weeks before he read it and called me just to tell me "you lying frog" befire he hung up

Ali: Ángel, who lied several times on separate occasions to the campus security about where people smoked, forgot what chihuahuas were twice, and almost drowned when he was swimming except his older brother got him and he immediately called me while waiting for the ambulance to tell me he almost fucking died, randomly sang a song about crabs he made up throughout the day

Danny: Ben, helped me with my biology homework because i helped him with essays, once released a live rat into the computer classroom because he had beef with the teacher, once texted me at 11 p.m. because he was having a mental breakdown over his chem work before he realized he was actually looking at trig and i told him id shoot him with a tranq gun if he woke me up like this again, kept forgetting how to tie his shoes

Tim: Teddy, he catfished 6 men over the age of 30 by pretending to be a 13 yr old girl and lured them to the part of town where there is an absurd amount of wild dogs that evade animal control and are known to maul humans, i watched him lockpick the english teacher's door so he could take back an essay he wrote bc it was actually a slash fic he printed out and turned in by accident, we hung out at a dennys once and he accidentally put his hand in syrup, looked me dead in the eye and said "i did that bc im gay" and wore pastel pink for a month bc it pissed off the hall monitor, his dad, and also six teachers he didnt even have class with

Ali: You read science fiction, as well?

Tim: Mostly older stuff, Ali.

Might trip and fall and accidentally draw art of Tim and each and every one of his boyfriends

Btw, if anyone ever wants to be delusional about Danny (or any of the Brentwood boys, honestly. I have so many thoughts on all of them), my ask box and dms are always open!

tim drake high school friendships, ranked by closeness to tim at the end of post-crisis:

sebastian ives. ives, ives, NOBODY out here is doing it like ives. ives was the FIRST civilian friend ever introduced to tim & the first friend tim made upon entering public school for the very first time. ives has been there since tim's second mini-series. ives as tim's friend is so important he is one of the only high school friends to be brought back into tim's story by others after his creator, dixon, left: he makes an appearance/is referenced as a long term friend with lewis (robin), yost (red robin), & fabnic (red robin). he has at least two major health scares & a fakeout health scare. let's make one thing absolutely clear here: ives *is* tim's best civilian friendship, which has endured as a friendship through *multiple* high school transfers away from him. absolutely no contest.

danny temple. listen. danny & tim don't interact, like at all, post danny leaving brentwood but that's just because the whole kid kobra thing never took off. i'm sure if it did, tim & danny would have interacted a lot more post separation. and listen, danny is the "civilian" friend who *knows* tim is robin. they went on basically two vacations together. they're far closer than your standard high school friend.

zoanne. listen, she may have been a love interest who didn't work out, but that didn't stop them from also being friends. her friendship to tim is also referenced in yost's run in red robin. as far as tim & high school friends, since tim tends to drift apart from people once they're no longer at the same school, zo ekes through with a recency bias for tim. in an end of robin/red robin era she'd be on his current list of civilians he felt close to. she's shown to be extremely worried about him in red robin #10 indicating ongoing friendship.

kevin "hudmeister" hudman, hudson, callie evans: these lovelies were part of tim's core group and have the benefit of length of friendship going for them. hudman & hudson were a core part of tim's W&W group that made several recurring appearances through tim's initial high school years & had a significant part in his miniseries ii. only lower because ostensibly tim did lose contact with them upon going to brentwood, still higher because they played a decently important secondary/tertiary role through many years of tim's publication

darla: darla is the person at louis grieves tim actually likes, okay? he's devastated when she dies and he can't save her and she's brought back to interact with tim again as warlock's daughter & has a small but significant storyline with her friendship with tim as a result.

buzz & kip: when tim is at brentwood, he spends most of his free non-danny time hanging with buzz and kip. they both have a couple issue storylines that tim is involved in & he seems to like them pretty well. once tim leaves brentwood, however, the friendship dies away and is not mentioned again.

ali ben khadir: tim's first roommate, gets a significant storyline and then vanishes, so is below the other brentwood kids. tim likes him though, so that puts him above-

wesley: tim's second brentwood roommate is next, because they spent a significant amount of time together & again had multiple issues to showcase the development of their relationship. wes is under kip & buzz & ali though, because tim doesn't actually like him all that much despite the fact that they're nominally friends. he grows to he okayish with him. i guess.

bernard: listen *if we're talking post-crisis only* (which we are), bernard falls *solidly* at the bottom of the list as tim's least important/significant civilian friend. there's no significant story focused on tim's friendship to bernard specifically, tim is barely tolerating him most of the time & is friends with him basically only because bernard is pushy about being friends with tim & after tim leaves louis grieves he doesn't bother to keep in touch to the point where bernard doesn't even know where tim ended up, only that he's heard *from other people* tim might be in bludhaven (who apparently are in the know as to tim's location). now obviously we can't ignore the trauma that led tim to ghost him, but since bernard after this is never brought up again in post-crisis, he's a pretty solid 'that friendship definitely died once they were no longer in each other's immediate vicinity & were basically only friends with each othet due to circumstances of going to school together only'

Tim Drake’s Friends (not to be confused with Red Robin’s friends)

Inspired by this post by cryptocism, I bring you: Tim Clique-Breaker Drake. 

(Don’t mind me, this is also basically just me taking notes for a fic I’m working on. Tim’s various normal boy friendships. High School Musical has nothing on Tim Drake.) 

(One of these days I’ll write half these characters’ DC Database entries. Today is not that day. All characters listed know Tim primarily as Tim Drake; anyone who knows Tim primarily as Robin/Red Robin, or who know Tim equally as Tim and Robin, is not included. If I miss someone... I missed someone.)

Sebastian Ives (Tim Drake’s longest civilian friend, met at Gotham Heights High School as freshmen. Geek, genius, bit of a coward, lyme disease and follicular cancer survivor)

Kevin Hudman and “Hudster” Hudson (Because "Hudman and Hudson” isn’t confusing or anything - classmates at Gotham Heights, play Warlocks and Warriors with Tim and Ives.)

Karl Ranck (classmate at Gotham Heights, varsity football jock, bully, wants to be friends with Tim, Tim was never particularly interested in being friends with him. Tried to recruit Tim to his gang, Tim said no.)

(Deceased, shot in altercation with fellow classmate and rival gang member)

Ariana Dzerchenko (Tim Drake’s 9th grade girlfriend, Russian Ukrainian immigrant, wants to be a fashion designer.)

Glenn Doppler (Gotham Heights classmate. Went out with Ariana once while she and Tim were still dating, after Tim stood her up for a date. Felt bad enough to come clean about it.)

Philmont Denlinger. (Gotham Heights classmate, friendly with Ives and Tim. Bullied.)

(Deceased, murdered by fellow classmates) 

Ali Ben Khadir (Tim’s first roommate at Brentwood Academy and the teenaged religious leader of the fictional small country Dhabar)

Tim’s other Brentwood friends: Wesley Thomas (Tim’s second roommate, recovering alcoholic), Kip Kettering (geek, likes film and thriller novels, non-wealthy scholarship kid, counts cards in online gambling), and Buzz Cohen (football jock at a soccer school, rage management issues possibly requiring medication) 

Star (skateboarder, taught Tim how, my lesbian awakening; Stephanie Brown thought her brother, Tito, was Robin) 

Danny Temple (Brentwood classmate, young new leader of Kobra, knows Tim is Robin [does this make including him cheating?]) 

(of course, how could I forget Tim’s best friend and goodest boy, Cardigan?) 

Bernard Dowd (classmate at Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School. Bit of an asshole, has a crush on Darla Aquista and Dana Drake.) 

Darla Aquista (classmate as Louis E. Grieve Memorial High School, Mafia boss’ daughter, doesn’t date anyone, wants to date Tim. It was at this point I decided Tim was a babe magnet) 

(Deceased, shot at school, died in Tim’s arms while he Tim attempted to resuscitate her but she died after being taken to the hospital. It appears as if she died in Tim’s arms if you’re only reading the Robin run, but she lives just slightly longer if you’re reading all of War Games. Resurrected, Warlock’s Daughter.) 

Darla Aquista’s unnamed jock friends Tim SOMEHOW charms.... by offering to take a punch for his terrible friend. 

(It was at this point I decided Tim was a jock magnet.) 

Tyrone (football jock, bully) and Byron (freshman computer geek). Tim mediates. Tim seems to hang out with Tyrone more than once, though this is the last time we see Byron. 

Jimmy (another jock at Louis E. Grieve, friends with Tim, Tyrone, and Darla)

Zoanne Wilkins (classmate at Gotham City High School, “allegedly” Tim’s tutor, hopes to get into Harvard, Tim’s ex-on-and-off-girlfriend) 

Jared Walton (tennis player, rich kid, classmate at Gotham City High School, kidnapped with Tim once)

Craig/Greg Pulaski (tennis player, Gotham City High School classmate)

(This period of Robin comics is NOT great with remembering names)

Randi (Gotham City High School classmate, friends with Zoanne, unclear if she’s friends with Tim) 

I think that’s everyone??

EDIT: 

God fucking damn it, I missed Callie. 

Callie Evans (Classmate at Gotham Heights High School, basketball player. Had a crush on Ives when they were younger, but grew out of it by the time he considered her an option.)

Almost left Danny out bc of his whole cult thing but then I’d have to take Bernard out bc of HIS cult thing so now they’re both there
