Baby/kid Tim Drake headcanons for a fic im writing
had a tounge tie as a kid, and only realised when he was 8. some words were hard so he just. didnt rlly talk. which meant it was hard for parents and teachers to realise WHY words were hard
ate rocks as a kid. and bugs. he liked eating stuff off the floor. refuses to admit it, but he keeps doing it into his teen years. maybe forever.
huuuuge leash kid. bro would run off every ten minutes and somehow disappear. Janet tried just holding his hand but he would just bite her to escape.
because he didn't talk much as a kid, he would just.. hand people their shoes when he wanted them to leave. Or, in his parents case, he'd reach down and poke their slippers. Basically saying "Go to another room and leave me alone"
loved background noise. would drag his toys to the living room to play while his parents watched tv
Jack was a batman fan, and Tim would force him to read out articles or put on conspiracy videos so the two could sit and nod along (or yell at the screen if they didnt agree)
really liked burying things, then 'excavating' them a few days later. partly because of his parents love of archaeology, but also because he liked hiding things. it got so bad that there were holes all over their back garden, so his parents paid someone to refill them all, and then build a sand pit for Tim. he LOVED it. he did keep trying to eat the sand though so he could only play in it if he was supervised
didnt like the apple peel, but would get mad if he parents peeled it for him. he would make them cut it in half, then he'd scoop it out with a spoon and put all the skins in a box. when questioned he would say he was going to sew the skins together to make a cape, but really he just liked the smell of apple peels and cardboard. also whenever his parents pleased him, he would leave a few 'skins' on their pillows. they hated it but like.. awh he's happy with us today 😁
really into acrobats due to Dick, but also scared of them due to Dick's parents. He solved this by getting into fairies, since he liked how they'd also swoop in the air. Jack was not happy when, every halloween, Tim would demand to be Tinkerbell or Zarina instead of something scary.
do NOOOOT let that boy on your phone. he WILL get you locked out for an hour DESPITE you telling him the password.
I can't think of anymore rn.. feel free to leave suggestions😁
