I’m always a little lost as to whether or not I should tag jaytim posts or fics with “batcest”. Because I get flayed alive by antis if I say, well… they don’t particularly have a sibling coded relationship in canon. That’s largely found in fandom spaces where EVERY batclan member MUST be sibling coded and you’re not allowed to ship them at any given point in time!!¡! But I don’t view them as batcest. Toxic? Unhealthy? Absolutely. I do not think neither Tim nor Jason would be particularly good or sweet to one another given their history but I don’t think it earns the tag “batcest”.
#batcest#dc#timjay#jaytim#maybe I’ve mainly ingested points in the comics where they’ve been at conflict#but I can’t think of a singular instance I can point to and say#oh those are brothers#even when jason thinks of tim fondly at some points#because that’s less fond and more#he wants tim to see things from his view and maybe even thinks tim has the potential to#iykwim#dc meta#actually adding to this as#yeah#i know at the end of the day it relies on how you define batcest#if you define batcest as any batfamily pairing under the mentorship of Bruce#then yeah it’s batcest#i personally define batcest as#well#relationships that are actually written with the intent of making them feel like siblings
