jumping on this little trend of drawing tim wearing bernard's t-shirt because of this post

[yesiknowimshort]

I need people to draw Tim in Bernard's stupid push-pull shirt from the 90s. I think it'd be so funny like Tim started dating him and suddenly inherited his bfs highschool wardrobe

Jason is trying his best to make him look vicious ; )'

So much of the robins' "training" is literally just abuse and I'm using Tim's birthday to prove my point

So on Tim's 16th birthday got a box from a "mysterious stranger" (a paid actor) that couldn't be opened and he thought it was a bomb so he immediately tried to get it as far away from his family as he could.

When the box opened it played a holographic video of Alfred (who Tim should be able to trust) sending a message back in time from the near future telling him someone he was close to would betray them and that it was up to Tim to stop it happening.

So Timmy was under loads of pressure, had a nervous breakdown and stopped trusting everyone from his friends to his girlfriend and brother. He spends several days and nights spying on his allies waiting for someone to slip up.

Eventually he figures out Bruce is behind it all and goes to find him. Bruce didn't care Tim was upset and congratulated him for "passing the test" (and also tells him he should've done better). Tim, understandably, yells at him and nearly quits being robin for good (he later comes back for another fucked up thing Bruce does but that's another thing).

It's not psychological abuse, it's ✨training✨

(also I'm so glad Tim yelled at him and didn't just accept it because he's right, it isn't okay)

Saw a post where someone wasn't sure if Tim being good at computers was a fanon thing or not and friend I am happy to inform you that he's been a computer/tech guy from some of his earliest appearances in the comics.

Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #620 (Rite of Passage part 4) - immersed in the ~web~

Robin II: The Joker's Wild #3 - tabletop roleplaying games and spending hours in the basement on the computer - not beating the geek allegations on these fronts, Timmy

Detective Comics (Vol. 1) #676 - Dick was more into traditional detective work and tended to outsource the computer stuff in these days

Batman (Vol. 1) #514 (Prodigal part 10) - hackin' through all the garbage and garble

Robin (1993) #33 - Robin sneaking in and connecting Oracle with the baddies' mainframe so she can do her thing and steal all their data >:)

Nightwing (1996) #6 - "no you're really talented and well suited to be Robin." "no, you." "no, YOU!"

Tim is definitely not as good as Babs/Oracle, but he's certainly her back-up for computer work in the 90's batfam. They're tech buddies and Robin!Tim is her little assistant sometimes, it's super cute:

Birds of Prey (1999) #19 - happy to play with big sister's fancy high-powered toys

Legends of the Dark Knight (1989) #125 - real cute kid

And Dick will hand off computer jobs to his little brother when he doesn't want to bother Babs 😂 (that outsourcing I mentioned):

Nightwing (1996) #68 - examine them pixel by pixel, eh? welp, sounds like a job only you can do, Timbo, you got this buddy, byyyyeeeee

And then when he'd grown up and been doing this for years, he leveled up accordingly, and did stuff like use his access to the League of Assassins computers to overload the generators in every base he could find, etc. etc.

Red Robin (2009) #8 - yeah that was pretty dumb of you Ra's :)

So yeah, it was a bit of a specialty of Tim's, in large part because he was introduced just at the turn into the 90's, when personal computers were really starting to take off and become widespread. (Robins gotta be cutting edge and all)

Of course, by no means does it follow that the other Bats suck at computers (there is no 'smart one' they are all incredibly smart and capable). This is especially true as reboots and the sliding timescale of comics have moved the DC characters into modern times, where computers run the world and everyone grows up with one in their pocket. The baseline familiarity and expertise that everyone can be expected to have is just much, much higher these days.

It gets exaggerated in fanon as all character traits do, but computer guy Tim is definitely not something just made up out of whole cloth :)b
