Everyone worship our beautiful queen, please and thank you

Lowkey mad Tim can just fall asleep anywhere. I would kill for that kind of power.

Narcoleptic Drake family agenda unlocked. They all have it. Unlimited, unskippable naps. The only way to contain them.

The democracy (me) votes to give the Sleepy Drakes one (1) driver to take them places since they're technically not legally allowed to drive. His name is Gustavroom and he is a motorhead rogue henchman one fake mustache away from being arrested. He is the worst driver off all time. Spiders Georg of traffic violations. Jack and Janet refuse to hire anyone else.

Do you think Tim let’s Bart borrow his cape and use it as a blanket bc I do. I think of it a lot

[jackandjanetdefender]

Edna Mode: no capes!

Tim: cape for boyfriend to snuggle.

Edna: one cape

[jackandjanetdefender]

Jack: fatherly wisdom time.

Tim: kill me.

Jack: no. the wisdom is, don't repeat my mistake.

Tim: which one?

Jack: ...there are a lot. But the lowest bar is not raising bail money for your college girlfriend by making out with random men at a bar and stealing their wallets from their back pockets.

Tim: ew you had a college girlfriend?

Jack: yes, your mother. Please focus on the actual life lesson here.

Fandom: only 8.7k on ao3????? why aren't there more timkon fics? :(((((

Me, elbow deep in the trenches searching for scraps of timbart: oh ho another drabble written +10 years ago, we shall feast well tonight my friends!

[jackandjanetdefender]

*pokes my headcanons* hey, do something

[jackandjanetdefender]

Bruce during his weekly vent sesh: everybody blames me for my kids' problems, but they literally came out of the box like that!

Superman staring meaningfully at Kon T-posing in traffic: I know the feeling.

I've thought about it a lot and I think my ideal for a kind of Tim Drake series if one were to exist again in the vague future, would be kind of conceptually like the Robin Plus series (of which people only really remember Robin Plus Impulse when they remember it at all, but it's not about that specific series as much as the concept), where it's Tim plus another person, but not the same one every time (except hopefully with more issues with it not being like...separate from an already existing solo that could have teamups on it anyway).

Because I think what I miss most is his teamups and his relationships with other people.

This version could be a mix of people he's already close with and newer dynamics.

Me about dozens of people and Tim: I miss them

Me about several more people and Tim: they have so much unexplored potential

Like I know I'm a Tim bitch, but i swear I'm not trying to make everyone else about Tim, I'm trying to make Tim about everyone else because that's what I like about him.

[jackandjanetdefender]

One reason YJ1998 is so fun is that it's a team. We get to see different relationship dynamics and interactions between everyone, and it's one of my favorite iterations of Tim because of how he plays off everyone else.

Fic author: I wrote a Drake family centric fic!

Me: oh cool! That means you're going to explore the alienation of parent child relationships and secret identities as an allegory for growing up, right?

Fic author:

Me: or, um, the burden of becoming a caretaker for a disabled parent when you yourself are only fourteen?

Fic author:

Me: ... I mean, you don't have to do those specific themes, but it's going to be thoughtful and explore their family relationships, right?

Fic author: yup! I showcase how evil and abusive they are so Bruce can swoop in and adopt Tim! See, in chapter one they forget to feed him and he almost starves to death, and then it gets worse!

Me:

[jackandjanetdefender]

Tim is funny because he's constantly stressed and coping badly about it

[jackandjanetdefender]

Not sure how to articulate the dread I feel whenever DC starts a new run with a female lead. On one hand I love strong women! But the there's also the pinup cover art, the skintight dominatrix suits, their alarming lack of ribs, the misogny, the uber feminization of once beloved butches... I have two cakes and one of them is filled with rat poison.

Nobody tells you the hardest part of moving cross country is divorcing with your local comic shop.

if anything batman is ROBIN'S assistant

[timejoshi]

manages robin's schedule ✅️

drives robin to work and back every night ✅️

takes all phone calls made to their mutual workplace ✅️

dating life depends on robin's whims ✅️

work hours depend on robin's schedule (bedtime) ✅️

carries robin's stuff in his own purse (belt) ✅️

organizes pay for robin's staff (butler) ✅️

sounds like an assistant to me

[jackandjanetdefender]

Bruce would take this as the highest compliment.

(does this make Alfred Assistant to the assistant regional manager???)

YJ is the kind of ride or die where someone would gamble the team's souls at an intergalactic casino, and the rest would (after some angry yelling) lock in and rig the bets to survive--then get really into the poker game and keep rebetting their own souls to up the ante because their bestie has the potential to become The Gambler of All Time, and that's worth maybe getting damned over
