tim drake hcs
SO. i'm making a fic. timkon. cries.
there's sooooo much discourse everywhere about tim's characterization, and from what i've gathered, his fanon and canon interpretations are incredibly polarizing to fans. i'd love to grab ur guys' hcs for the fics i'm writing, since i want them to be appreciated by as wide of an audience as i can T^T here are some of mine !!
tim struggles with insomnia. fluctuates from mild and severe, but certainly isn't helped by his occasional caffeine intake.
he is NOT addicted to caffeine- but indulges in it sometimes when there's a case that's particularly tough to crack. not an addiction though.
i do see him as a recovering nicotine consumer. it used to help him cope with the sting of loneliness. doesn't anymore, as the looming threat of lung problems would probably throw a wrench into his vigilantism.
alcohol he consumes when needed for socialization, but otherwise stays off. he says it dulls his intellect. not a very big fan.
is smug menace, and is mostly unapologetic about it. he's the type to live by FAFO.
looks eerily similar to cassandra; build, height, and mannerisms wise. he's obviously less stealthy, but is still comparable.
and more !! please please add ur own, i'd love to read them ! i'll probably be on the lookout for prompts over on tiktok if i ever scroll past the increasingly rare amount of timkon content T^T excited to be here !!
OKAY so first off, the alcohol one is so for real. I think he'd drink like, socially, but in the comics he had an alcoholic roommate in boarding school and it makes sense that that would kind of traumatized him (the kid was really out of it with drinking). Also he tried beer with his bio dad once and immediate spit it lmao
On him and Cass looking alike I HAVR PROOF OK
This. This is Tim in a comic just before Infinite Crisis
And Cass. THEY LOOK LIKE THEY COULD BE TWINS YOUR HONOR
Okay, I'm sorry this is so long, but here are a few hcs of my own:
. He lies compulsively about his well being. Will not accept help unless he's actively dying.
. Has abandonment issues as strong as a horse.
. I really like when fics incorporate him having skating as a hobby because for a while he did skate in the comics and it was really cool.
. I'm not a fan of Jack Drake so I don't tend to read fics in which he's nice. It's just a preference because I really do think he's a deadbeat in the comics. But as Tim's family goes, it could go either way in a fic (his parents alive or him with the Waynes)
. Him and Conner are just. Kind of depressed. Not at the same time (again, in the comics) but they're also both passively suicidal. So there's that. :/
If you want superboy headcanons I also have plenty of those, but I am OBSSESSED with Tim so. :/
If you need any help, a beta reader, or more prompts , let me know! I love them so much and I'm happy to help :D
