stalwart defender of the DCU Drake family in all their glory

Everyone worship our beautiful queen, please and thank you

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.

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???)

[jackandjanetdefender]

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

[jackandjanetdefender]

Yo, do you have an AO3 link? I’m dying to read your works!

This is about the dumbest response I can give, but....y'all, I'm shy. Something about connecting my ao3 account to this one makes me consider burning my ID and living in the woods. Do I know why? Non non, it seems I just have a resistance to wanting to be known...

What are your thoughts on Janet x shiva

I have a post SOMEWHERE on this cursed account about that ship! Tldr I love the potential for Janet/Shiva shenanagins, the messier the better. Shiva's willingness to fight anything that movies is a huge turn-on for Janet, and I picture Shiva fascinated by this unhinged, freak of nature archeologist lady she keeps running into.

In my heart of hearts, Jack is also here playing wingman and supporting his wife's obsession of the mysterious danger lady they keep encountering :)

Tim at his parents' graves: I need life advice.

Jack and Janet's ghosts: polyamory

[jackandjanetdefender]

Tim *crying, throwing up, bleeding out*

Tam: oh no, he's hot!

[nemoredraw]

[jackandjanetdefender]

We need to push the squishy chubby baby Tim agenda. He is the cutest rolly to ever poly

[jackandjanetdefender]

*squints* actually I think this is Tim and Steph, which is equally cute. I'm not apologizing for thirsting over daddy and momma drake in the previous notes though. I have a civic duty.

i yearn for timtam fics... pls give some fics to the poor...

"Tim Drake has a latte problems. Not surprising, since as a CEO he’s always on the grind. But Tam’s birthday is coming up and he wants to expresso his feelings for her somehow.

Enter Operation Coffee Maker, a demon cult, and the world’s best stuffed alligator."

AU where Jack survives and hates his son’s boyfriend. Not because he’s homophobic but because Bernard posts those archeology conspiracies on his facebook account and Jack, as an actual archeologist, is enraged.

Oh my god- giants did not build the pyramids!

[jackandjanetdefender]

The family drama the fandom needs and deserves.

If Janet we're alive, she'd probably team up with Bernard for fun. Jack would lose his mind.
