I just found a demigod Tim fic on ao3 which I happened to stumble upon. Now I need more fics where Tim is the son of hades. The fic I found was a lovely read a little bit fanon for what I usually read but good nonetheless, it’s also in the middle of being made and only has 3 chapters. So anyone know any fics of Tim as a hades kid?

Happy Mother’s Day!

i love that it’s canon that tim looks a lot like his mom and i recently read a fic about aristocrats being scared of how much tim acts like his mom, so yeah!

also when tim if feeling feminine, people really mistake him even though she’s literally dead

[justiceiscalling]

wild opinion i know people will hate me for: i strongly dislike alfred pennyworth. i know what you’re thinking, “how could you hate him! alfred does no wrong!!!”

(loud incorrect buzzer) WRONG. omg, alfred can only do wrong in my mind. he is such a fucking enabler and then he wants to play devils advocate. recently, before starting ‘what the future holds’ i reread robin 1993—specifically tim’s birthday arc.

if you don’t know what that is i’ll tell you. on tim’s sixteenth someone delivers a package which is a holographic message from a future-alfred essentially telling him someone in the batfam is, like, evil, and trusting him to figure it out. eventually it’s revealed that the message was a test, part of bruce’s training, and ‘future’ alfred was actually just current alfred. it was a really good read, i believe it was issues #116-120.

point is, alfred WILLING sided with bruce on that shit. alfred was not held at gun point, his life was not under any threat, he was asked to assist and he. did. that. shit.

and after he had the audacity to be apologetic! ‘i’m so sorry master tim’ like no tf ur not???? like u did this, you allowed him to feel like everything was HIS responsibility and like he couldn’t trust anyone. which is just so fucked up on another level. he watched tim isolate himself and beat himself up over trying to solve this and he?? just?? let?? it?? happen???

and some how he can do no wrong?????

when tim first became robin, who gave him the suit? i’m pretty sure it was alfred. yes, tim was a relentless little kid—but that’s just that. he was a fucking kid, no older than thirteen. alfred gave him the suit. sure, it was to save bruce, but why did it have to be him? why couldn’t he call dick or superman or, hell, go out there himself? why’d it have to be the nosy ass neighbor?

also when bruce and dick used to beat the shit out of each other alfred didn’t do anything. he lowkey just let it happen. like how much is bruce paying bro for him to let that slide?

ALSO ALSO i would love someone to correct me on this, PLEASE tell me i’m wrong, but wasn’t alfred the one who put up the good soldier memorial? everyone hates on bruce (who, in a lot of ways, is a bad father) for that memorial being up but it was alfred. and i get he was but jason wasn’t just robin, he was so much more. and most importantly, he was a son. i know things were rocky for him and bruce but, god, that’s his son! like what the genuine fuck, yk?

and maybe this is only in some iterations but alfred literally influenced bruce to train to be a vigilante. he trained him when he was young, after his parents deaths. and yes, he was another one of those relentless kids, but there were things alfred could’ve tried to stop him from doing this.

what i’m trying to say is, im so fucking tired of this ‘saint alfred’ BS. he’s in the wrong! maybe not all of the time but a lot of the time. and i don’t know if that ‘jason loves alfred the most!’ thing is fanon or canon but either way i hate it. if you’re going to make bruce a bad dad, if you’re making jason and bruce’s relationship rocky, then alfred can’t be the exception. he should be held accountable as much as bruce.

like, if jason loved alfred so much and saw him as a grandfather, why isn’t he pissed at alfred for not killing the joker. sure he wanted bruce to do it but after bruce didn’t, why didn’t alfred take it into his own hands? alfred has no problems with killing people who deserve it. he was a soldier for crying out loud!

if jason and alfred are as close as fanon claims then jason should be beefing with alfred as much as he does with bruce for not avenging him.

okay, this turned into a rant about jason and alfred’s annoying fanon relationship but you get my point.

i don’t hate alfred, i hate fanon alfred and i hate this fandom and how they love to hold bruce accountable for wrongs that lowkey could be alfred’s fault too. and i also hate that’s it’s so hard to dislike alfred because people will yell at you for it. in my fics i try to keep him as out of it as i can because god forbid i make him how he is in the comics.

alfred is a flawed character—just like bruce and jason and tim and dick and damian and duke—and that’s okay! it’s better when they’re not so one dimensional, it makes them way more interesting as a character and also allows fanon to create perfect character development over the span of long ass fics that i love to binge.

thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Kon: I don't get people who justify cheating by saying they were drunk. When I get drunk, I propose to Tim over and over again.

Tim: And I have to say yes every time or else he cries.

[incorrectbatfam]

Tim: What's the most polite way to phrase "You fucked up big time and need to fix this now or else" in a professional email?

Damian: "Hello, I hope this email finds you before I do."

Some douchebag influencer decides to challenge one of the Waynes to an MMA fight, and he goes with Tim.

Big public announcement, making a big deal of it, mockingly suggesting the Waynes can donate the proceeds to charity, so long as Tim gets in the ring with him, and people are like, Tim? Tim Drake-Wayne, smallest of Bruce Wayne's kids, so baby-faced he looks like a high-schooler even in his early twenties Tim? And there's a huge kerfuffle, people calling the influencer out for going after someone way smaller than him, being a coward by not picking Bruce Wayne or even Dick Grayson, and people egging him on to beat up Bruce's 'girliest' kid and betting Tim will back down and "Daddy Wayne will just bring out the lawyers".

And then Tim says "yeah sure". And yes he DOES set it up so that the proceeds will go to the Neon Knights program, thank you very much, and he doesn't really hype up the fight or seem that worried about it online, and the influencer is talking constant shit and posting videos of him training to get ready to "beat little Timmy's ass", and he keeps trying to goad Tim online but the most he gets in response is Tim going "k".

The day of the fight, the venue is packed, the whole Wayne clan is there to cheer Tim on, medics are on stand-by for when Tim gets badly hurt, and everyone is So Ready for This. And the influencer is a big guy who's in shape, and he's won a few fights already, and Tim looks itty bitty next to him, but also he's a lot more fit than people were expecting? Like he's got more scars than people expected (which was zero) and he's got good muscle tone, and he squares up like an actual fighter, but he's still way smaller than the other guy.

Then the bell rings and Tim wipes the fucking floor with the influencer. He's fast and ruthless, and the influencer gets maybe two hits in before Tim is in his space and climbing him, locking his legs around the guy's neck and throwing him to the ground with his momentum. The fight is fast, which people expected, but it's because Tim hammers the guy and takes him down before he knows what's happening, which people did NOT expect.

Afterwards, people are trying to break down the fight and figure out what the FUCK happened, and one retired MMA fighter admits he pretty much knew it was going to turn out like this.

"Bullshit," the other commentator goes. "Bullshit! How could you have possibly known that Bruce Wayne's kid was a fighter like that?"

"One," the guy says, grinning, "the kid's a Gotham native. Gotham natives fight tooth and nail, even the richer ones. Two, he's said before in interviews that he took self-defense classes as a kid."

"Oh bullshit, plenty of kids take karate classes growing up-"

"Yeah, but 'plenty of kids' don't have a non-meta kid sidekick running around their city. You know how Star City has some of the best youth archery classes in the country? And how that came about after Speedy came on the scene?"

"Oh my god," the other commentator mutters. "Drake's a fucking Robin fanboy, isn't he."

The retired fighter grins wider. "Is he ever. So he's been taking self-defense and martial arts classes from a young age. Then he got taken in by Bruce Wayne, who's first son was raised as a world-class acrobat before Wayne took him in, and since then he's become an Olympic gold medalist for gymnastics, and now he's Tim's big brother.

"And the piece de resistance," the fighter says gleefully, "head of Wayne Enterprises R&D and close personal friend of Bruce Wayne is Lucius Fox, who's daughter briefly dated Tim and who's oldest son is Luke motherfuckin' Fox, one of the best MMA fighters I've ever seen."

"Oh my god," the other man repeats.

"So on top of learning martial arts for years, that's two people directly in Tim's circle who are top-tier athletes, who I'm damn sure wouldn't have let him in that ring without knowing how to handle his shit."

"...So Brad's lucky he made it out of that ring with all his bones intact."

"Damn lucky, even."

The Arkham train of thinking involving Tim and Dick kind of fascinates me even though I know it’s very fannon.

Because if you think about it hmm interesting.

Dick Grayson who never wanted a brother got one only to lose him and then he got Tim.

Tim who looks at him with stars knows everything about him and from the very beginning If Dick had to die for Tim to live it was set in stone.

His little brother who he trained, stitched. Sat on rooftops with and felt his heart beating in sync.

This tiny little kid that was full of secrets willing to save the entire family.

Could he throw him to the wolves? Shut the door leaving this tiny bird all alone?

No.

That his little brother.

His Robin.

His legacy.

The very idea of throwing Tim in Arkham would make him vomit.

It doesn’t matter how grief stricken, upset or angry he has ever been the day Dick Grayson throws Tim away he is no longer Dick Grayson.

Tim believing that was even a risk would cause Dick to riot because “What do you mean little brother?”

“Do you not know me?”

“The very world could end and I will only allow it if we die together.”

“If you aren’t by my side this isn’t worth it.”

“You’re half my soul.”

“You’re my brother, where you go..I go leaving you alone and cold isn’t an option.”

“The day you don’t have a home if the day I’m dead.”

“If I breathe your my brother.”

“Tim..how could you ever-“

-

Dick Grayson loves Tim Drake.

He’s never throwing him away.

this is not my first time drawing yj timbin smiling and everyone folding instantly.... i really like this trope LMAO its so cute

[goldfishinaplasticbag]

i love my boys 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[ali-linlin]

I’ve given so much thought into the whole demigod Tim thing, but there’s something that’s always bothered me. Each time I read one with his godly parent being Athena or some other god it’s because it fits Tim’s personality. Don’t get me wrong I love it BUT there are so many gods to pick from and it’s not just about Tim, it’s about who Janet or Jack could pull.

Like imagine Zeus being his godly parent? Maybe Aphrodite or Ares? Poseidon has been my favorite pick so far but that’s beside the point. There’s so much potential.

Anyways, if someone’s got any recommendations please share.🙏

Twins!Tim and Jackson

Jack and Janet Drake has a lot of skeletons in their closet and one of those is having only one child name after them, which will be proving a lie once you enter the bedroom of Timothy Jackson Drake. You will be greeted by two young boys with the same pale skin, blue eyes and soft face.

There are two Timothy Jackson Drake.

"Timothy" Jackson Drake is a more reserved boy than his older twin who is more boisterous and mischievous and has a lot of energy in him. He rather stay in his room wearing his comfy silk pajamas and read mystery novels, he rather stay in his room writing songs and poems, trying to solve the cold cases in Buzzfeed Unsolved and practice more of his curriculums.

Timothy "Jackson" Drake is a joyful little bundle of energy. He rather be in hoodie in the streets of Gotham taking pictures and skateboarding and being loud. He likes being around and familiarising himself in his surroundings. He hates quiet places, he hates being a perfect kid and he hates being in the center of attention, he likes to blend with the background as it was more easier to sneak around.

"Timothy" Jackson Drake and Timothy "Jackson" Drake. Two boys who share everything with each other, even their birth certificate. Two boys who fool everyone, even their own parents, that there is only one Timothy Jackson Drake that has been registered and existed to the Gotham City.

++++

"Tereck! I have a surprise for you~" a little boy sing-sang as he enter their room, revealing a similar face of the boy that was waiting for him with a book in hand.

"What is it, Jorothy?" 'Tereck' asked, curious as what his brother brought back to him.

"Ta-da!" 'Jorothy' revealed what he had and it got an instantaneous reaction of gasp from his little brother.

"I know Mother and Father forbid us to buy useless things with their money, but this is not from their money, so don't worry." Jackson winked at his younger brother.

That statement received a frown, "You are not doing illegal things, right?"

Jackson chuckled and ruffled his brother's hair, "No, some tourist wants to take a photo and gave me a tip. Probably from New York." Because no Gothamite will asked for a photo with the potential of taking their camera or phone, this is Gotham.

Timothy hugged Jackson, "I just don't want to be separated from you." the younger twin mumbled, making Jackson to smiled softly at his little brother.

"I promise, we will always be together, forever."

+++++

Jackson hugged his twin, as a hope it will stop his dearest brother to such a suicide mission, he will embark. "Timothy, you don't have to do this. Let Batman be an adult and take care of himself." He reasoned as he was growing desperate. His brother was willing to hurt himself just to save an adult that is probably capable of doing it himself.

But Timothy shook his brother off, knowing what could happen to his beloved Gotham once Batman was ripped to shreds. "But without Batman, Gotham will be destroyed, Jackson." Timothy said as he put his little hands to his twin's face, making him looked at him. "I know you hate it here, but it is our home."

"A home is a place with a happy family. And it is not here, as long as the two of us is together, it is a home. If Gotham falls, even better, we could just pack our bags and leave." Jackson said with indicts in his voice that he was right and he knows it must be followed as it was better for both of them.

"Batman needs Robin, J. And I am willing to be a Robin to save Gotham."

+++++

"I hate you." Jackson said as he dab a cotton swab on the busted lip on Timothy. This is not even from the criminals that was supposed to be violent, this was from Batman, himself.

Timothy sighed, "I know." He can't say anything. His brother that treasure him like a pearl, and now he was nursing him from an injury from the protector of Gotham.

"You can just quit, you know."

"But I will not."

Jackson hugged his brother, "I hate seeing you hurt, you are not built to be Robin." he whispered to his brother and buried his face to his brother's hair.

"But I'm the only one who can be Robin."

"I wish I could stop you from your insane activities."

+++++

"This is our chance now, T. Mother is dead, Father is in coma. We could sneak away from Gotham and no one will notice."

"No one but Batman."

"Batman doesn't care about you!"

"Gotham will notice that Robin was once again gone."

"Gotham will notice and won't give second thoughts about it."

"But-"

"No more buts, pack your bags, we will leave."

+++++

"This is it, T. After we land to Latvia, we can renew our lives."

"That is amazing, J." T said as his heart was heavy with guilt, knowing he will leave his twin in this plane. "J, I love you."

"I love you too, T."

"I'm sorry." Timothy said as he injected a tranquilizer to his brother's arm. He walked discreetly to the still open passenger door and left his brother.

+++++

It is so hot in the middle of the desert. He just finished blowing up the League of Assassin's bases and he kneeled as adrenaline finally eludes him. He wished his brother was here to fetch him like back in grade school. Like whenever he cry in the middle of the night, his brother will be there beside him. Exhaustion is finally catching up to him when an orange monster truck stopped by him.

"Need a ride?" A voice that has been haunting him since he left the airport. He look up and saw the same face that he now wished to see.

"Jorothy?" he blurted out his twins absurd nickname he gave his brother when they were kids.

Jackson smirked from the nickname, "Sup, Tereck."

Timothy jumped from kneeling and climbed the huge truck and attempt to hug his brother, but his body just decide to just gave up on him. His brother jumped of the truck, and carried him like a koala. His brother turned and speak, "Please help yourself, Miss Fox. I hope you know how to climb a car."

"I am so sorry, Jackson."

"Shh, sleep for now. Rest, Timothy, you deserve it."

"I am so so sorry, for leaving you, Jackson."

"Shh, I told you, we will always be together, forever. Even if we were apart for years."

[ali-linlin]

So I was talking with my friend, and she gave me this idea (her current obsession is Percy Jackson, and I’ve recently fallen back into DC).

What if Percy wasn’t the child of the prophecy? What if Poseidon had another child a year or two before him someone who just so happens to be none other than Timothy Jackson Drake?

What if he was the one who carried the burdens Percy was meant to? What if he faced Kronos and the Great Prophecy, and Percy only joined later becoming his ally on those impossible quests instead of the chosen one himself?

It started as a random convo, but now I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s also 2am and I haven’t had sleep.
