[vinelark]

Hi! I love you, your blog (wifeposting supremacy) and your writing and I hope you are doing well. I was rereading bbts, as one does, and I was wondering if you'd read fics where Tim also calls for Kon the way one would Supes? I don't know if it's a proper trope or not but I need to see it more... anyway, no worries if not and sending lots of love :)

thank you! wifeposting supremacy indeed! i’ve been slacking on my posting this month because fifteen thousand different things have been going on, but at least some of those have been good wife things. earlier today i noticed she added my last name to one of her social media accounts and i had to just collapse into the pile of clean laundry i was folding and stare at the ceiling being gay about that for like ten minutes. yes we’ve been married over a year yes i was still like “omg that’s my wife.”

and re: fics where tim calls for kon: yes for sure! i also adore it, to no surprise. i know there are way more than i have listed here, but these are ones i thought of off the top of my head:

Orientation by @smilebackwards, which is probably one of the first iterations of this trope that i read, and the moment tim shouts for kon never fails to delight me every time i reread it.

Wing Beats in Reverse by firefright, a reverse robins au with (excellent) jason pov, so timkon are technically background—but they’re still absolutely gut-wrenching, especially when the fic employs this specific trope.

speaking of reverse robins, i always love to rec Detours by miyaji_08, which has both identity shenanigans and tim (quietly) calling for kon in the middle of a Real Tense Situation.

Sore Loser by @hayleyhearts is (as always with this author) sharp and funny and a bit angsty and def has Tim calling Kon for a rescue, with a little twist that matches the rest of the story.

and i for sure have to include leap of faith by @funkylittlebidiot, which 1) is a fun and fast-paced oneshot centered around tim calling for kon, and 2) is the reason bbts has “(See the end of the work for other works inspired by this one.)” which is such an honor to have on my fic.

and a bonus one where tim can’t call for help, but it’s okay because kon shows up anyway: midnight sun by @mamawasatesttube, which has both brilliant + kickass ttk usage and also tim saying “eep!”

I need a fic where Bruce realizes this kid who shoved his way into his sidekick role will not be leaving anytime soon, and instead of emotionally distancing himself he becomes a combination Helicopter Mom and Shotgun Dad.

☆彡

Tim: Bruce, I’m headed out to meet my friends at the mall.

Bruce: Is that Kent boy going to be there?

Tim, rolling his eyes: Yes, Kon is going. And so is Bart, and Cassie, and maybe Bernard if he can make it.

Bruce: Hnn. Do you have everything? Coat, scarf, keys, wallet, tracker, pepper spray, dagger, kryptonite shard, emergency beacon, first aid kit, fire starter, extra pair of-

Tim: Yes, Dad! I already went through the list with Alfred. I’ll be fine.

☆彡

Kon: Hello Sir! I’m here to pick up Tim!

Bruce: Follow me.

…

Bruce: Sit down.

Kon: In your study? Is Tim on the way, or…?

Bruce: I just thought you might need reminding of the fact that I have a vault downstairs full of items specifically designed to take down a Kryptonian.

Kon: Whuh?

Bruce: You should probably ask your father about the time I was slightly annoyed with him for encroaching on one of my cases.

Kon: Why are you telling me this?

Bruce: Now just imagine what would happen if someone were to hurt my darling little boy.

*door opens*

Tim: Hey Bruce, Alfie said Kon was here, have you seen him? Oh! Hey, why are you two in here??

Bruce: Oh, hey sweetheart, we were just chatting. Have a good time at the carnival!

☆彡

Dick, pouting: I don’t understand, you’re not this protective over who Jason or I date.

Bruce: Don’t be ridiculous, Jason and I may have our problems, but he would never betray me by gallivanting off with someone I disapprove of.

Dick, who covered for Jay sneaking out to visit Roy Harper just last night: Mhm yeah, sure. And you’re not worried about me?

Bruce: Chum, I’ve known who you were going to marry since you were 12 years old.

Dick: WHAT?

Bruce: I have the whole ceremony already planned. I’ve got Gotham’s best wedding planner on standby. You have a very nice house waiting for you both, 20 minutes from here. A modest 7 bedrooms on 5 acres of land.

Dick: I’m not even dating anyone?!

Bruce: I can’t wait to meet my 3 grandbabies:)

[lucifers-favorite-child]

Kon: Tim, they're literally invulnerable!

Tim: Don't TEST IT!

As a fan of DC and Dogman comics, I've never been this autistic my entire life. 🥶🙏 🔥🔥🔥

[nobrain-onlysteven]

Never getting over his design ever.

They did him so good by giving him his 90s swag back

[chaoswiththeprettyspine]

The winner of the poll was Timkon, and honestly I'm not really happy w it, but maybe I've just been staring at it for too long.

CONNER FUCKING KENT IN ALL HIS CUNTY PUNK-CODED GLORY IN MAWS S3??? LETS FUCKING GOOO

[demonic0angel]

Could we have some more tim/kon/ellie art 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Maybe something more angsty 🙏🙏🙏

Love the ship idea 🩵🩵🩵

Asking for angst is crazyyyyy, but here you go :3

Image description below:

Panel 1 has a far away picture of Tim in his hero costume in some sort of cave filled with machinery. Everything is glowing green.

Robot: Attempt eighty-nine unsuccessful.

Tim: … what?!

Panel 2 has a closer up picture of Tim bent over and slamming his hands down on a table/machine, shouting.

Tim: No! No!! Dammit! What keeps going wrong?!

Panel 3 has an even closer picture of Tim, with only his face showing as he covers his eyes with a trembling hand.

Tim: No… please…

Panel 4 has his back showing, still slumped over with a hand on his face and the table. In front of him are two tubes filled with green liquid. The naked half-figures of Kon and Dani are in each tube. Each of them have their eyes closed and are turning into bubbles.

Robot: Beginning disintegration procedure to restart cloning process.

Tim: Kon… Dani… please…. tell me what to do…

To like comics is to ignore comics.

When your favorite character has existed for 80+ years, has had 100s of writers, has changed over and over again, sometimes they got it wrong. You have to decide what to ignore for your own sanity.

I’ve only seen you do Newsies stuff and I love it, but I just adore your Kon el design, could I just get a drawing of him? You don’t have to fyi I just like it

Kon-El, my princess, my shnookums 😌

I swear, I do more than Newsies: becoming a mainly Newsies blog has been a happy little accident 😭🤣 so never be scared to ask for non-newsie stuff! ❤️

“But Kon isn’t gay-“ “He’s only into girls in canon-“

Friends. Pals. Acquaintances and strangers alike. Does this man REALLY look heterosexual to you?

I mean… REALLY. Look me in the eyes and tell me that THIS man. Is straight.

Think long and hard about your answer😐
