@havenshereagain got me thinking about Tim in Young Justice merch so I sketched some ideas out.

He wears Kon's shirt as PJs (Timkon HEAVILY implied), Impulse merch for workout (it's durable and made out of breathable fabric specifically for this purpose), and Wonder Girl merch as an everyday item of clothing.

I might make a full artwork about this when I have more time, who knows.

"What's the point of Tim Drake? There's nothing he brings to the table that the other Batfamily members don't have" buddy, I don't know how to help you understand that 7/8ths of those other people WOULDN'T BE THERE if it weren't for Tim Drake

[thattimdrakeguy]

I feel like it's going to take something like that

They have to be at the receiving end of a bad thing in a noticeable way caused by big boy for them to know he isn't smart

Until then they're free to run around in ignorance, able to point their fingers at whatever they don't like and blame that. that's what's given them their confidence

Here’s my take on this whole thing which if you’re interested, you can read

Otherwise you may ignore

yeah people shouldn't give up

but they also have to get smarter about the game plan

if you don't do things smartly, it's gonna be hard to reach more people to even think people are going to need help, or even be deserving of help. that's the horror of it

i think ultimately the biggest problem when it comes to political elections like this is how everyone gets at each others throats, and how it's all basically a sports team

most of the population of the planet i would imagine run off of emotion and not thought

and ultimately that's what led to this elections downfall

mix that with billionaire's and influential successful people giving him praise, along with trump's theatrics, and trump made the better campaign for the general public

Do I think he ran a good campaign based on what I look for? No.

but i think a lot of people forget when you want someone's vote you can't just target people who were going to vote for you already to begin with. you have to be able to speak to people who wouldn't normally vote for you

trump is crass, a jackass, a bastard, a shit head, and fits nicely into plenty of other insults

But he knows what the general person wants to hear more I think

the general person doesn't care that he's crass in presentation, they're probably crass too. i'd imagine most people at this point are crass. i'm pretty crass sometimes to try and make a friend laugh on the occasion

and if someone likes you, they're willing to not believe accusations against you. it happens all the time in all sorts of ways. so i can't pretend to be shocked people voted for him despite the numerous amount of crimes he's committed.

because ultimately, as embarrassing as it may seem for some, sometimes you have to get down on other people's levels, and not try to seem above them

yelling about how bad white people are, and how bad christians are wasn't ever going to make them want to vote for you

i'm aware plenty of people within those demographics can see without the emotional tinted lens, and be able to tell what people really mean when saying some of the ruder things about them

but again, most people run off of emotion

you can't insult them, and not expect them to root against you. that's, to be perfectly honest, really stupid. i constantly think that's stupid, and i don't think there's any other way to look at it

you're making yourself look pretentious, and above them. you're making yourself their enemy, not someone who just wants them to understand to better themselves.

too many won't want to vote for you then

that's not going to make anyone want to understand you, if they feel you're against them naturally. it's antagonistic behavior. and there's a lot of white people and a lot of men in America. mix that with all the other hot topics that can get to them on an emotional level that could get someone on their side and you've lost them before you really begun

i know he's a literal billionaire, and not on their level at all in that sort of viewpoint

but you can't play dumb, and think getting to people on a visceral emotional level isn't gonna make them look past that. people will look past anything

is it not smart? of course

clearly people should look at the logic people bring, and their opinions on actual policies based on fact and not emotion. being hinged on emotion is not the smart way to proceed in anyway.

but stop thinking everyone thinks with logic, because they don't. they just don't. it's not how most people work. you can't play the game with ignorance to that, because you're missing the whole point on how you get more people rooting for you.

plus the inflation during biden's tenure, and kamala being in the odd spot of having to say she'll do better while not trashing the current presidency because she's the vice president, and she didn't really have a chance to look strong. she was stuck in a hard place

then add the whole rooting for your sports team thing, where it doesn't matter WHAT anyone says, and you got yourself a shit show

the best thing American can do is abolish the whole political party system, but that's incredibly unlikely to happen because of how strong the sports team is

if it was just people saying their cause, it'd be better, because then you could get someone with more nuanced opinion, that could speak and connect with different types of people based on the causes they personally care more about

but we don't have that

so it's pretty fucked.

the whole system is built and ran, and conducted, and is engaged in, very unhelpful ways. that'll likely always allow batshit crazy candidates like this to win.

hiya i'm new to your page, i was wondering if you could recc any fics that you think depict tim's characterisation more accurately? many thanks :D it's really cool to see canon depictions of tim contrasted against what i usually consume

I wish I could, but I have nothing to recommend lmao I haven't read fan fictions in a long long time. And I barely ever had to begin with

Best of luck, homie. I hope you can find it

[thattimdrakeguy]

feel free! it's what it's there for

been hoping people used as a ref, so honestly? great to hear lmao

Tim Drake’s Characterization as per his Creator.

When you look up who created Tim Drake you’ll see Marv Wolfman and Pat Broderick, but that’s just because Pat Broderick drew Tim’s initial cameo as a creepy looking toddler cause he couldn’t draw a toddler.

And I’d rather not believe we’re supposed to take this as what Tim is suppose to look like, when he looks much more different during his origin story.

————————————-

Today I want to attempt to make the most quintessential Tim Drake post I can manage. By talking about his characterization as written by the man that created Tim, with help from various artists, Marv Wolfman. So basically, the man that has no better authority on Tim Drake.

That way I figure is the most concrete characterization you can get for Tim. And while obviously he’s had character development. His stories were made to show us who Tim Drake was at his heart.

So that’s what I chose to go off of for this post that goes over his origin, motivation, personality, and looks.

That way you can get the ultimate understanding of Timmy Drake! Or at least the basics.

Also, as a note, and what may be obvious, this is his origin, meaning that he’d obviously develop more as a character, which would lead to the degree of some of these traits being changed, or written by other writers that focus on some more than others, or even just made to be out of character.

I’m just choosing to use the origin, because it’s the closest way to show what the intention was for the heart of his character. <3

(I don’t own the hardback cover, but man, if I did. I’d…just treat it the same as my softback. But it’d be really cool. It’s a very fun cover. Batman’s smiling again and look at Timmy’s toothy grin!)

I think the easiest way to begin to explain Tim and his characterization, is what I can gather may be the most obvious way to it. His origin story. Which I’ve covered in quite some detail in another post, which I may link if I can figure out how to do that. So I’ll just recap the important parts of it, before just going to the character moments that can show us what little Timmy is like.

my old Club Penguin account had "CP" in the name, 'cause Club Penguin, it's the initials but that must've looked hella suspect in hindsight

Huntress: Nasty bruise.

Robin: It’s not as bad as it looks.

Huntress: Tough guy, huh? I’ll bet you’re not old enough to drive.

Robin: So?

Huntress: So Batman approves of you. Hell, he sponsors you.

Robin: Not after tonight he won’t. I’ve messed things up totally.
