I love all forms and interpretations of Tim Drake. YES, even the completely inaccurate ones that make him deeply pathetic and weak. But I do admit that I have some favoritism towards specific ones...!
The fanon Tim Drake is someone who, for some reason, lives off of coffee, never sleeps, and is lowkey extremely pathetic. He lets people walk all over him and believes that no one could ever actually love him and consider him family. And while I also (guiltily) love that sometimes, I also absolutely live for him having a ginormous and delusional god complex.
Like, yes, he is the best Robin. Yes, he is also the best vigilante in the entire family, nay, the entire vigilantism, hero, and villain community. And yes, he is better than everyone else in the entire world, he's just nice and gracious enough not to mention it.
Whoever disagrees? They're incorrect, insecure, and EXTREMELY idiotic.
"Yes, Tim, you're better than everyone." Cassie says calmly, switching channels on the TV as she lay on her side.
"I know! People are seriously just too stubborn sometimes. I mean, what's denial gonna do for them, ya know?" Tim rants, pacing back and forth, irritated after someone tried arguing with him.
"Totally man." Kon said absentmindedly.
"Absolutely!" Bart nodded enthusiastically.
The three agreed casually, as if this was a normal occurrence. Tim loved his friends. If he ever became a dictator in the future (again), then they would definitely be his closest advisors.
Give me my fanon Tim Drake who thinks he's literally a God in human form. Who thinks he's gracing everyone with his presence. His friends, already used to this, agree with anything he says without a single thought.
Batmans rogues think this is hilarious. Riddler ESPECIALLY loves this fact, and he actually likes making Tims complex worse, much to Batmans dismay.
"You're the best being that has ever come to contact on this earth, Red Robin." Riddler says calmly while he is currently getting put into a police car to be sent to Arkham Asylum after he broke out. Again.
"I know." Tim agrees as he waves goodbye. At least someone in this city knew how to act around someone as amazing as Tim.
Now, about Ra's Al-Ghul. Would Ra's Al-Ghul ever actually agree that Tim is better than everyone? No, because then that would mean Tim was better than him, which he wasn't. This is where they clash.
Ra's agrees that Tim is better than everyone BUT himself, and that he could make Tim his equal if only Tim would actually agree to work together. They'd be absolutely unstoppable!
This makes Tim seethe a little, because Tim IS better than everyone and that includes Ra's. How dare Ra's think that they could be equals? As if! Someone who has to yearn for immortality could never be on par with Tim.
The Bats are concerned. Some of them (Steph, Jason, and Cass) agree with Tim purely just for entertainment and some try to gently convince him to, maybe, get a little therapy....?
A long, heavy, and resigned sigh.
