Hello, Ra'sTim Fans!!!

Hello, Ra'sTim fans!!! 💚

It is a pleasure to announce that finally, real life has given me enough of a break to release Ra'sTim Week 2024. The week will follow it's usual format (6 days with 2~4 prompts and 1 day totally free). If you wish to vote on the specific date of start, please visit our official Twitter page!

Extra information you might want to know:

The event is now formally Ra'sTim only (no 🔄)

Other Ra's/Bat ships aren't allowed in any level

Every work (no matter it's nature) must have the proper tags and warnings

Survey to filter the prompts to be used for this week will be released soon. It will be a Google survey and won't include most of the prompts already featured before (with exceptions such as genderbent & omega-verse)

AO3 collection will be released around 3~15 days before the start of the event, in case anyone wants to post in advance.

The event's purpose is to give love to Ra'sTim as a ship, so please, don't limit yourself to fic and fanart! Memes, edits, playlists and others will be shared and promoted as well. You can also write essays, make rec lists or even just share your head canons or ship dynamics you like for them (for this last option, we suggest using ship trope templates so that it's more visual!)

For any doubts, please feel free to reach out official Twitter page or leave your question here!

Okay but genuinely... Who do you think gives Tim the best 🥵😈 of his life? They all have their own talents, sure, yet someone has to be the best!

Damn…🐺

Yeah, yeah. I know I’m late to do this meme. But I only had the idea when it was basically already done 😩. Megs and legosi, my two favorites.

yeah.

Once again got all intense about how annoying Ra'sTim haters are. I'm remembering that time on Twitter not long ago when they were calling Ra'sTim i*cest... Yeah I know, Twitter is hell, but come on! 😭

I think it's particularly funny because Ra's is a man who reduces his family to his blood ties and even then he is picky. He *will* disown his children (not hurt them! Do not confuse it!) if he considers he has been betrayed so the proposition that he would see Tim as family... And that Tim would see Ra's as family! It's just so funny to me. Tell me you don't read comics without telling me you don't read comics.

I believe Tim and Ra's (before properly interacting) used to see each other as villain and hero. Period. Tim studies Batman's villains and cases so for him Ra's is synonym of bad guy, extremely dangerous, probably best if avoided. Ra's keeps an eye in all the bats, so Tim (still Robin) is a threat too: awfully loyal to the Batman, highly trained, more likely will provoke lots of damage and won't die. And that's mostly it, until Ra's is forced to meet the bats more frequently due to Damian going to live with Bruce. Ra's is more aware of Tim's abilities, and Tim is more aware of the danger Ra's represents, which I think explains why their meetings go as they do.

I don't think Ra's labels Tim as Damian's brother, but he might label Tim as Bruce's son. Which doesn't mean that makes Ra's *feel* like he's related to Tim, and similarly, Tim labels Ra's as Damian's grandfather, but nothing to him. There's no familiar tie between them, nor is their dynamic close to that, so I do wonder why people look at Ra's saying he wants a heir with Tim's blood and think that's familiar and not low-key homoerotic.

I get it if people dislike Ra'sTim due to the "dark" elements (tho I consider them very tame if compared to ships as Hannigram for example) but there's nothing on them that makes it "i*cest" so I do get mad when people accuse them of so. Particularly when it's the fans of certain Ra's' child and her ship who do so, as if Ra'sTim fandom doesn't actually treat her better than gen fans. Hell, Ra'sTim fics always lean in portraying her nicely, erasing the awkward comic canon and allowing her to have her classical bond with Damian. I have even seen certain tendency to ship her with Bruce (tho yes I admit most fandom goes with BatCat, myself included). So the fact that they have this need of hating Ra'sTim is annoying, because Ra'sTim is NOT the fandom treating their fav poorly nor doing anything wrong.

It's awful that we aren't allowed to like Ra's as his own character, that we aren't allowed to speak freely of the interesting elements of shipping him with MEN. Exploring a queer, individual Ra's al Ghul has taught me a lot about storytelling. Exploring an scenario where he falls in love with someone who contrasts with him the way Tim does has made me realize that fanfiction can be more than "I disliked the ending" and that you can write your own opinions on characters that sometimes other people share. It has been amazing and I adore it.

So what I'm trying to say is... People should stop being these loud, violent haters. There's no need for this. Why can't people let others enjoy themselves?

I want to make a fem!Tim fic inspired by the movie Priscilla but I can't decide who should be the male lead... So I'm asking you! Who do you think would steal Timothea & turn her into his perfect bride? 🥰
