bernard: i just love true crime, don't you?

tim, trying to impress him: i may or may not be a war criminal with a hypothetical body count in the triple digits who's trained under multiple trained assassins as their apprentice

bernard: ???

Bruce, running his plan for an undercover operation past the batkids chillin in the living room while post-‘knowing secret identities’ Bernard is there: -and then we will hustle the information out during pool, start stakes low and give them a false sense of security before winning

Bruce: obviously Tim will do that part

Bernard: Tim sucks at pool tho? He can barely make any in and, hell, I made it into culinary school with how many times I was sent to the kitchen to shoot after he hit the cue ball in

Dick: Tim? Our Tim? The one who wins every time? Who was the cause of the rule in the mansion against us ever playing pool

Damien: such a baby, gets stabbed one too many times by sore losers and just has to ruin it for the rest of us

Duke: Tim has hustled all of us outta so much money that at this point it is a part time job for him

Bernard: ??? Tim never wins against me?

All turning to Tim:

Tim, face completely red: he- he always gets so excited when he is winning and he just looks so cute- and his trash talk is basically just flirty banter- and it’s not my fault when he looks like THAT

Tim, shrugging: he just has an unfair advantage over the rest of you, like maybe if any of you were attractive you would start winning pool more too

Jason: and he wonders why he’s been stabbed so many times

I'm a timbern girlie 100% but what do you think, random strangers?

Do not ship him with the other batkids/bruce they are his family. I will delete your comment.

(I feel like my posts are getting pretty negative lately so here have another poll! I love posting these, you have no idea how much I hold back!)

Thinking about Timbern being cozy in bed, bc how else do you help your vigilante boyfriend unwind after a long night

Fic: The Mouths of Babes

Summary: Bernard meets Lian Harper, who decides he's friend-shaped.

Roy and Tim have terrible boundaries. Bernard and Roy have their first fight - will this be the end of a beautiful friendship?

Part of the Networking series, where I singlehandedly try to make the "Roy Harper & Bernard Dowd" tag a thing.

Excerpt:

“My daddy says that the most important thing you can do is challenge yourself. That’s why I make sure I brush my teeth even when I don’t want to, or go to school even when I don’t know anyone, and when I’m playing Minecraft I always make my axolotls swim in the ocean where can sharks eat them, so they challenge theirselves.”

“Uh.” The end of that sounded like a very Joker thing to say, but Bernard didn’t want to get this kid offside. “That does sound challenging.”

tim: dad... I have a boyfriend

bruce: what? but you're supposed to get back together with stephanie

tim: what?

dick: whoa whoa whoa, I thought you were an ally

bruce: I'm not being homophobic I just need steph to marry into the family

cass: I have something to share

[chamiryokuroi]

Inspired by a stupid twitter meme 😂 but this is basically how their first meeting went like

[cosmicpoutine]

i just wanted to draw bernard with red robin

[ditzybat]

one of those tiktok gotham university reporters approaching bernard on the way to one of his bio classes: thoughts on red robin?

bernard, mildly sleep deprived, and knowing full well what tim’s night life is like: smash [proceeds to walk away like nothing happened]

[sourkreem]

this one's been a wip longer than your typical alcoholic dad's marriage and i prolly wont finish it any time soon so have this ig.

Tim, at 13, staring at Batman in his downward spiral era: ✨I can fix him✨

Tim, 19, rescuing Bernard from a pain cult: I can fix him 😍

[humblefryingpan]

I keep forgetting that if I tag something with a ship, tumblr will give me stuff for it. I haven't really noticed before because I only really tagged stuff id already seen a lot but I tagged a ship poll with #timsteph because yk it was an option on the poll and I just got three of those bad boys in a row lol

Would be useful but I don't ship timsteph 😅 sooo

I'm just making a random post so that I can put so many Bernard Dowd tags tumblr has to take a hint and show me the fruity folk instead bc that's totally a normal thing to do

Duke, new to the family, awkwardly entering the kitchen where various members of the Waynes are hanging out/baking/drooling over the baking: Uh… random question, is Tim dating someone?

Steph, all her training focused on stealing baked goods: oh yeah he’s got a boyfriend, why?

Duke, just wanted a book, utterly disgusted: I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t outing him if I told you he’s currently defiling the library.

Jason, slamming down a bowl of brownie batter: he’s fucking WHAT-

[thebirdsandthebats]

Dick in Gotham handling a hostage situation at a local university. Some villain crashed a party in the student apartments and has the whole building locked down. Dick is in there with Damian, and they finally make it to the floor where the bad guy is and they’re having this big tense stand off before the final fight…

and then one of the college students who this guy had huddled in the corner grabs a chair and just fucking clocks this guy. He hits him over the head so hard that the chair breaks and the guy COLLAPSES. Dick is like . Oh??

And then the student turns around (with a truly unhinged glint in his eye) and Dick recognizes him and realizes OH . Oh this is Tim’s boyfriend. That’s the crazy guy who recruited us to go beat up cultists with him. Yeah we didn’t even need to come he had that handled actually
