tim can’t handle spice

[mamawasatesttube]

OH GOD I know I'm late but I just saw your amok preview and oh fuck- THE ANGST IS SO GOOD!!! I'm such a sucker for the specific trope of "character thinks they're hallucinating someone and reacts honestly cuz they think they're not real" I'm DOWN BAD!!!!! You're writing is so good-sbdjcjsjjskskdksks

Also Tim, whenever Kon is in his field of vision:

thank you!!!! :D im having a lot of fun w that fic too, i love hurt/comfort what can i say.

and YEAAA SO TRUE!!!!!!! thats his best bro whomst he simply cherishes more than life itself. at any given moment he's resisting the urge to squish kon's cheeks in his hands. kon gives him the puppy head tilt and smiles and tim's like everybody appreciate him or i WILL burn down this whole building (or however that post goes) <3

[nari-writes]

(through gritted teeth) wow I looove adapting canonical character backstory for an au it's my f a v o u r i t e. So much fun. The bestest <3

[fahbev]

Hi! Saw you jumped on the tim hate train, welcome to the club! Aplarently you're Damian fan, which is good bc hes also one of the characters who's hit by tim's..woobification? Victimization(???) while simultaneously being the bestest, most competent batfam member. You Damian fans honestly have my respect for the pure amount of shit Damian gets because of tim.

hi lmao. Thanks xD. I usually try to keep all my negativity off of the internet, but last night I was going the anti Tim drake tag bc my frustration was flaring up. At first i was collecting posts by liking them instead of rb, then I was replying, and then at some point... “Fuck it. I want this on my blog.”

(This is gonna be a ramble btw, I don’t care abt making a good post rn.)

I used to be fine with Tim! I think the whole thing was a lot less prominent in the dpxdc fandom bc DANNY was the fan favorite/community elected woobie, but then I kinda moved out and... well. It still took awhile for this issue to seep in bc those Tim fans (you know the ones) are certainly a minority, but I just don’t think you can be a Damian fan for longer than a few months without getting frustrated.

Nowadays I refuse to read anything tagged with any variation of “Tim Drake angst” that features the batfam. Timkon fics are usually just fine though.

Actually— recently? Shit’s been bothering me so bad that I don’t wanna risk reading fics that have Tim in the first relationship tag at all. He’s gotta at most be in the second one. Ship fics are again an exception, but I don’t tend to seek out ship fics much anyway.

But, like I said, I usually keep it to myself. Every time i catch myself venting in the tags I either screenshot the tags and delete, or I delete and retype them. I put them into a private notes document. I also journal in there a lot instead of posting it.

That document is pretty long.

I do wanna say that there’s nothing wrong with what tim fans are doing. It is fun to woobify your fave. It’s fun to prop them up and tear others down and make everything about your blorbo and it is harmless. I do it too (usually in my daydreams). It’s a fantasy, and that’s what fanfiction is for. People who act like it’s “problematic” are wrong. That doesn’t mean it’s not annoying. Because it is. It’s annoying as all fuck.

Also wanna mention that I once read a damian fic that like... started off with some delicious whump, but then it turned into a whole Damian pity party and it guilt tripped all his friends and family. Damian IS my blorbo and I couldn’t read that. I didn’t even know who Maps was at the time but it seemed so bizarre to throw her under the bus. Anyway I feel like that’s what a quite large portion of Tim fic is like except a bit less extreme.

I used to tell myself that “ohhh it’s just a rivalry. I’m sure Tim fans get the same shit in reverse all the time” but I literally NEVER see it in the other direction and spend the most of my time in Damian circles. The only time I see tim hate from damian fans is frustration at those particular fans in response to it or in response to favoritism of authors.

I mean i saw a good chunk of it last night, but what else can I expect from the anti tim drake tag?

It’s actually funny how most of the stuff in anti tags is polarized hate shitting on the character with a lot of bad takes, but in tims anti tag it was almost exclusively frustration from Damian and Jason fans, and usually pretty mild takes. Also people calling Tim boring.

Ngl, Idk much about Jason. I’m familiar with his fanon, but the only comic i’ve read that featured him in a major way was Gotham War. I don’t know him well, and I don’t have too much interest in him. However, I hate “Jason falls over in guilt and kisses Tim’s fingers begging for forgiveness” type posts in solidarity. It’s yucky.

Anyway, I didn’t even mean to get on this anti tim train you speak of, It just sorta leaked out of my vent doc. Don’t expect me to keep posting about it.

but also... don’t not expect it. It might happen.

Even so, my dms are absolutely open for Timothy Drake related frustration! I’m pretty tired of being nice to him.

[fizoda]

Don’t get me wrong I love Timkon. But why are all the majority of the fics angst. Like please I know they’re sorta tragic but I need some fluff for my weak heart

[ccarrot]

idk if i mentioned this but SOUKOKU is like. TIMKON but EVILER

it's all in the way Tim and Dazai struggled at showing emotions, it's the way their both perceived and act like cold and detached geniuses, it's the way they act really silly and goofy while also being extremely unhinged or very serious at times. Are severely NOT NORMAL about their respective powerhouse bfs (see: Tim trying to clone Kon back to life, Dazai being. Dazai.). They're both prodigy detectives, they're both fruity as hell. The way they both lost someone very dear to them and that causes them to run away from their place on a self discovery quest sorta thing.

And Kon and Chuuya are like, crazy similar too: spent a solid amount of their childhoods as a lab experiment, have cloning trauma, similar powers -> kon's tactile telekinesis works the same way as chuuya's gravity manipulation. They're extremely loyal to a fault to their friends, harbor a lot of self insecurity, wear cool leather jackets + neat hairstyles. Louder assertive personalities. Take on an insane weight of responsibility.

Not to mention Timkon and skk are both rivals to -> "???" dynamic

[comphetkoncass]

not to be that guy, but omegle died today and that’s where i usually went for short term rp.

if anyone else likes sfw rp, for timkon, dickkory, or batfam that’s tim, dick, cass, or steph focused, i’m here, just DM me. i don’t usually talk about it much but i’ve been a rp fan for years. it helps keep me writing even when i’m not actually, yknow, writing. omegle shutting down means i gotta choose to be open about rp in order to find partners, even though it feels sorta embarrassing for me to talk about it.

and for anyone else that’s a sudden omegle nomad… yo. sup. we could’ve been trading prompts for years, isn’t that kinda cute?

[mstrickster]

Who of your ships is the cover hog and who is left to be cold?

Oooo I like this question!

Let's start it off with The Mighty Ducks!

Banksway: I 100 percent believe in my heart of hearts that Adam is the blanket hog. Charlie is the bed hog. So it is my personal headcanon, mostly inspired by @catsunnyy, That Adam is always cold. So I don't think he tries to be a blanket hog I just think he's constantly freezing. This is why he doesn't really mind Charlie being a bed hog because Charlie is usually warmer than him. So if he loses a blanket he at least has Charlie to keep him warm.

Wudoza: For some reason, I can picture Kenny as the blanket hog. See for me Kenny is a little bit of a gremlin. So I can totally see him curling up in the blankets just giggling because he's warm while Luis is trying to pull it off of him. However, I can also see them being the couple who have a bunch of blankets on their bed. So even if he steals most of them, there is still one for Luis.

Gerreau: I don't think either of them are really blanket hogs. I can see Guy being a snuggle bug. However, they are really used to kind of having the other close to them so they kind of have developed a balance. Plus they're the ones who really thrived during the cold winters because they are so used to just cuddling.

Tammy/Fulton (Recan? Duned? FulTam?): I have to think of a ship name for them... So I would say Fulton is the blanket hog. I could actually see both of them being blanket hogs. However, I landed on Fulton because he is bigger than her so people would assume that he isn't the blanket hog. However, even though he's bigger he's still always cold. However, Tammy doesn't mind. She lets him because she doesn't really ever get cold.

BatFam:

Birdflash: Dick is absolutely the blanket hog. Wally is a speedster so he naturally runs hot. So he doesn't really need blankets. Actually neither does Dick when he has Wally there. However on the off chance that they aren't in the same place and he doesn't have his human heater. He is the absolute blanket hog. I could honestly see him stealing blankets from his family members because he's just very cold. He would use the excuse of him not being used to it and they would probably allow it.

Jayroy: I could see both of them being blanket hogs. However, I am leaning more towards Jason. The reasoning being that he grew up in Crime Alley and he probably grew up in drafty houses. Places where you're only protection from the cold is your clothes and hopefully a blanket. Therefore I could totally see him just hoarding blankets. It would be funny though to have Roy try to cuddle with him and Jason pushing him away because he tried to get in the blankets.

TimKon/TimBernKon: It would be Tim and Bernard. Listen I don't make the rules but when your significant other is a meta they probably don't get cold. Therefore it wouldn't be Kon it would be Tim/Bernard. I do think Bernard would be the ultimate blanket hog. I say this because Tim has had to learn how to run around outside in spandex in the cold and Kon is...Kon. However, Bernard doesn't have any of that either training or meta abilities so he's probably the one who gets cold the most and therefore is probably the blanket hog.

JonDami: Damian will never fully admit to getting cold. He is too stubborn for that. However, He absolutely does, so he is the blanket hog, sorta. He doesn't try to steal blankets. More so he is given them because Jon is worried about him being cold. So he just piles blankets on top of him and Damian's just like okay I guess I have to deal with this. So it's not so much Damian being a blanket hog as much as it's a Jon mother henning

StephCass: I don't think either of them are blanket hogs. I could actually see them refusing to hog the blanket because they're always worried about the other getting cold. These two would go out of their way to be like "Do you have enough blanket?" "Yes I am ok, do you have enough?" However, if she is sharing a bed with anybody else Steph is the blanket hog. If it's not Cass she will even steal blankets just because she wants them to make a pillow fort. She is a menace and she can't be stopped.

[ortensiawhiskers]

It’s so sad to me that I was sorta introduced to Steph & Cassie the same way. Them being slandered in timkon content

[leakylungs]

i am…i am curious abt ur timkon au. is there anything you can tell me abt it 👁👁

omg you have no idea how many THOUGHTS I have on this AU!!

I'll put some info below the cut lol! 🥰

Okay so… this AU has been in my head for like a year. I was playing a lot go Breath of The Wild so it's super obviously inspired by that I think lol!

I have a whole lot of thoughts but the short of it is Kon gets sucked into a magic portal and Tim jumps after him (blah blah blah Tim can’t just let Kon leave him again!). They end up in a new world (alternative universe, another planet, something else? Who knows), the world is sort of botw/lotr inspired where there has obviously been a lot of history (this post explains it well), there some magic, different nonhuman races, just the whole Fantasy kit and caboodle!

Tim is like okay…. I gotta learn as much about the magic in this world as possible so I can figure out a way to get home since there is no technology. Tim thinks he will just learn about it from books, instead a few weeks into this new world a colony of women who live atop a mountain invites him to learn from them because the Gods said they should. He later is also trained by a mysterious swamp man, a librarian, and a farmer to figure out a way to get them home.

Kon and their horse (who they can't agree on a name for) are not invited and are left in the village at the bottom of the mountain. Kon becomes the town's personal hero, he kills monsters, catches thieves, helps local farms, and this lesbian couple let him stay with them as long as he does chores around the farm because their son went to the “big city” to learn medicine. Kon pretends to have like a half-giant grandpa to explain his strength, but besides that, he hides his powers.

While Tim trains with the swamp man, Kon hangs out with the elves! He has a great time and learns how to bake magic bread and some healing. Tim gets all stinky and has to hang out with the old guy who lives in a swamp, Kon gets a feather bed and learns to cook.

I could go on and on but they do fall in love/confess and it’s adorable. They find a decrepit farmhouse and restore it, they have a horse named Horse, and a cat named Cat. They love collecting spices and food this new world has are trying to guess their world equivalent. Its lovely and domestic!

In the end, I don’t want it to be too heavy, I want silly hijinks, cute and tender moments, sorta monster of the week style.

I don’t know how long I would want them to be stuck there, probably a year at least. I do want some angst about trying to get home, but also getting comfortable where they are.

Also not sure how I would get here but I love the idea of Tim having to go through a magical 'rebirth' of sorts in some mystical pond and he comes out with white hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc (hehe you'll see photos in my Pinterest board). Just think he deserves a fresh look!!

Thoughts on this are actually all over the place, but I have a playlist and a Pinterest board lol.

Here are just some other photo references for the world I liked: X , X

Here are two fics that super inspired me as well: Curryverse, A Choice to Make!

Anyways always open to chatting about this lol!!!

[ruluxe]

your timkon wip about kon confessing that he’s in love with tim as tim is visiting him at the farm is amazing. i hope you continue it because im a sucker for timkon, especially emotional confessions between the two (and then them being happy and content with each other because they deserve the world). and your writing and characterization is just mwuah

omggg thank youu so much 🥰🥰

i really love how my friend and i set the scenario up too. it's really about tim and kon both figuring out who they are and who they want to be in life, and what that means for them as individuals and as friends. the beginning of this hasn't been written out fully, but essentially tim surprises kon on the farm in smallville. so it's been about a year and a half since tim has come out and during this time he got to experience his queerness and a relationship at his own pace and tim really does learn how to balance being a hero and being a person and a partner a lot better. but he and bernard sort of outgrow each other, there's a mutual break up and tim sort of has a bit of identity crisis. it isn't as bad as it sounds, but he's still trying to figure out who he is in terms of a hero, his connection to robin and the batfam and what all that means for Tim Drake moving forward. anway, he needs a break from gotham, besides it's pretty full of heroes as it is, so he decides what better way to relax than to just sort of ground himself with the one person that's always been able to help him do that? and kon, well he's been going through his own identity crisis because he's not really needed anywhere so he just sort of sticks to helping ma and pa out with the farm. anyway they have a few days where they just catch up, tim helps out on the farm too, and it's nice and distracting, helps to clear his head. the subject of his sexuality and the process of how he came to understand it and work through it comes up and kon listens, and it gets him thinking about things he really hadn't before. suddenly a lot of other things are making sense and clicking into place and it really is this lightbulb moment that kon realizes hey, i kinda sorta think i love you. very similar to the lightbulb moment tim is having at the same time. when they eventually talk about it and tim comes around to admitting it to himself and to kon, another dilemma arises. how are they going to make this work -- and does he really want to make it work because they're best friends etc, etc.

this got really long sorry agdjgdk but basically it's the beginning of a journey that spans years and years and they have like six kids and live happily ever after. my friend and i have delved pretty deep into this au and it can get a bit dark at times (may not be for everyone) but if you're ever curious feel free to ask me questions! Idk if it'll ever get written out fully bc i love talking abt it! thank you so much for this comment tho, it really made my day! im really glad that in that short piece you thought the characterization was good bc that was definitely something i worried about haha

(also tagging "friend" nic @chthonicaz)

With timkon who do you think fell first? And who fell harder?

GOD ive been turning this over in my head all day and it's so hard to answer in those terms i feel like!!! theyre SUCH a friends to lovers in my mind that they just melt into each other so hard. augh lets see though okay okay lemme try

i DO think they both had crushes on each other in their yj98 days. (i mean... "i know i'm gonna die i just wish i could talk to kon one last time" ???? "hey robin anyone tell you your voice drops like an octave when you get all commander-like" I KNOW WHAT YALL ARE.) but i DON'T think either of them realized it. they were both just kids still way too deep in the closet for that.

tim DEFINITELY started going off the deep end wrt kon's death. i think he was still figuring out the whole "bisexuality" thing while getting whammied left and right by shock/trauma/grief all steamrolling him flat in the world's worst conga line, so i don't think he fully registered that the feelings he was having were explicitly romantic, but he was definitely feeling ways. i mean, like. he absolutely kissed cassie as a substitute for kissing kon. when he actually put it together that thats what he was doing, though... i don't think it all really came together for him until after he was done brucequesting and actually got to breathe and let himself process. he was already head over heels at this point. he just didn't know.

for kon, i think it's this really slow, gradual thing, where feelings of friendship melted into a very deep and intimate bond without words somewhere between "best friends" and "romantic partners", again without him really having the self-awareness to put that sort of label on it. post-resurrection kon is just so introspective, i think it just sorta comes to him one day that, like, oh. he'd like to be close to tim forever. he knows he's into guys at this point but bc of his sexual trauma + dating history i do think it takes him a HOT second to clock that this feeling of intimacy and comfort is, in fact, romantic attraction.

so "who fell first" and "who fell harder" is just so confounded by both of them not even fucking realizing they fell for each other for so long kjsdfjksd like arguably they both fell pretty early, and tim fell REALLY hard while kon was dead, but i also don't think they REGISTERED that at all!!! theyre a lil stupid!!!

that said. when they have both figured out they're into each other, kon is def the one who's pretty calm about it like oh :) i love tim and i just want to be near him all the time. whereas tim is out there like oh my god he's holding my shoulder. he does that all the time i will not overthink this but oh my god what if he would hold me more WAIT IM NOT GOING TO OVERTHINK THIS and im NOT going to daydream about OHHHHH MY GOD he put his jacket on me oh fuck oh fuck im going to be normal im NORMAL is that his favorite cologne i can still smell on the collar. oh GOD did he just notice me sniffing the collar of his jacket like a creep ah fuck okay im a creep im a weirdo what the hell am i doing here WHY is this not actually distracting me from the way i can definitely still smell his cologne shit shit fuck-----

(and then they kiss. eventually. <3)

[sayovc]

the timkon story i want to write but probably never will:

—

also well aware that the three of them can date/tim consensually dates both, but this idea has been stuck in my head for a long time. this is me 100% spitballing. the dialogue is mainly to aid the feel of the scene, and in the timkon talk scene the aren’t in any particular order. all of it is prolly ooc lmao. if anyone wants to write this story feel free! please credit my post though! :)

premise:

timkon had been in love with each other for years but never said anything. flash forward to present canon, tim is dating bernard, and, with bernard’s blessing, timkon finally have a long overdue talk and get closure to the romance that everyone wanted but didn’t happen.

the vibe:

feels are bittersweet; the whole not actually unrequited love trope, kind of mourning what was never there.

but it also has a happy(ish) ending where timkon get the closure

kon is supportive of timber but he’s a bit emo over the fact he never said anything about his own feelings

tim told bruce he always kind of knew he liked guys, kon was the reason he ‘always kind of knew’

he’s over kon, kind of, he just needs some closure

plot:

timber talk about celebrity men the find attractive and eventually it leads to talking about the guys they’ve liked over the years

“tim, i can’t be the only guy you’ve ever liked.”

“well, before you, i sorta was in love with my best friend.”

“did you tell him?”

tim ends up agonizing over the question for a while and then gets a wake up call by _____ (i imagined dick, but i think a lot of people could fill this role)

“tim, buddy, idk how to tell you this, but the only people who couldn’t tell how in love the two of you were was each other.”/“you know i always imagined you two would end up together.”

eventually it eats at tim so much that his need for closure with kon intensifies. bernard takes notice and is supportive of timkon closure not bc he’s jealous but bc he wants tim to live without having the weight of his secret ‘unrequited love’ on his shoulders

“tim, if it’s bothering you so much maybe you need to to talk to Conner”

“i told you i don’t have feelings for him anymore.”

“i know that, i believe you. but you need this closure. and maybe, so does he.”

timkon have their talk

“i’ve been in love with you for the majority half of my life.”

“so have i.”

“why didn’t you tell me?”

“why didn’t you tell me?”

“parted me thought if i waited long enough you’d see me. but i waited and waited, and you never did.”

“i loved you once before. i still love you, just differently now.”

“i’ll always love you. it’s probably impossible for me not to. but, i don’t love you like that, not anymore.”

“don’t read too deep into this, but if we’re meant to happen, it’ll happen. if not before than sometime in the future.”

“maybe in another universe we made it.”

the story ends with them getting closure; tim lets the weight go and kon slowly moves on

extra!

my jondami heart also wants in on this lol. maybe damian and tim have a heart to heart about falling for superboys and not being able to be with them. prolly ooc damian

“drake, you imbecile. you and the clone need to talk about this.”

“what would you know, demon brat?”

“because by the time i realized i was in love with my best friend it was too late! now, he’s older, dating, and in the future. i’m never going to get closure.”

this ends up being a can of worms tim isn’t sure he wants to open right now

[pyrokinesis]

*after apocalyptic event in Gotham*

Bernard Dowd: *fixing his hair and jacket*

Tim Drake: "What are you doing?"

Bernard Dowd: "Superboy is rescuing people downtown. He might need help."

Tim Drake: "Superboy as in super-powered alien with sunglasses?"

Bernard Dowd, putting lipgloss on: "Yes. Remember when we talked about our hypothetical freebie lists?"

Tim Drake: "Yes?"

Bernard Dowd: "Well, it's not hypothetical anymore. Bye, love you"

Tim Drake: "Bye, love you too."

Bernard Dowd: *kisses Tim and leaves*

Tim Drake: "Fuck."
