I Think All Of The Previous Robin's Get A Little Twitch In Their Neck Whenever Anyone Calls Out For Robin.

I think all of the previous Robin's get a little twitch in their neck whenever anyone calls out for Robin.

Just a twitch. Hardly visible. An insinct to turn their head, respond to what was once their name.

Names are important, they are who you are to the world. A name is yours.

And a name passed down, given up, is beautiful and melancholy. It was who they were, no longer.

But Robin is still a part of them. A little bit.

Screaming crying THROWING UPPPP

Obsessed with this timkon AU my brain came up with where Kon knows Tim is in love with him because his heartbeat gets all frantic and fluttering when they're alone together, but Kon is still very repressed about not being entirely straight so when Tim do finally confesses he turns him down and says he just wants to be friends. He feels an odd, deep ache inside his heart when Tim's heartbeat skips a beat before slowing down to what he's sure is a heartbreak but, even so, he keeps telling himself he's not like that and moves on. Nothing much change from then on, Kon keeps listening to Tim's erradict heartbeats whenever they're alone or when Kon picks him up to fly to missions and he pretends he doesn't like it.

That is, until Kon is busy doing farm work with Pa Kent and he suddenly hears Tim's heartbeat going crazy and fluttering like it does when he's in love. But that can't be it because Kon isn't next to him right now and suddenly he's both so indignant and scared because who else could be making his robin so flustered–

And that's how Kon realizes he's in love with his best friend. When he listens to his heartbeat and finds it beating for someone else.

tbh in some cases calling my projects “wips” kinda feels like a joke, because it implies that it’s actually “in progress” rather than being a thing that plagues my brain every once in a while.

The bats have an entire group chat dedicated to keeping Tim from becoming a super villain.

At first they weren’t too concerned. Sure Tim was a little questionable, but he seemed normal enough, despite his sociopathic tendencies.

The issue originally started as a joke. Jason was complaining about how hard it was to take over and manage a majority of Gotham’s underworld. Tim had laughed and said he could probably catch up to Jason in about 2 week, probably less.

The entire family bet on it. And surprise surprise, Tim won…by a landslide. Did everything and more in a week. When asked how Tim just laughed.

“Please. I know everything about everyone in this city. Nothing happens here without me knowing.”

And hold up? Did Tim already have a control of the underworld before this because that’s cheating? No he didn’t but the Bat’s learned that Tim has built and maintained a massive informant system that spans across everything in the city and some outside.

When asked why he just shrugged. “Bruce locked me out of the bat cave one too many times when I was Robin so I had to find my own way to get information.”

Later they learn that Drake industries did not go bankrupt. Well it did, but Tim bought it for Pennie’s on the dime and it now goes by Jackson Industries and has been systematically funding and buying rights to a number of medical practices/studies/etc to then redistribute at affordable rates. The reason every civilian in Gotham has a rebreather is because of Jackson Industries.

Also apparently Tim is a majority share holder with LexCorp. Again when asked Tim shrugged and said something about one to many attacks on Con and being ready to sweep the rig from Luther’s feet at any given moment left the man a lot more paranoid and a lot more careful.

That’s not even touching on Young Justice. The bats found footage of their early missions and realize that they’re def a ride or die group and they would 100% follow Tim before they stop him.

So yeah. They have a chat dedicated to making sure Tim doesn’t tip over the very thin line to villainy because honest to god, they’re not convinced they could stop him.

Loving thisssss

Batman AU where the batfam is an extension of Gotham’s will so they can’t leave the city without taking a piece of it with them

Bruce, ever practical, has a batarang made from a steel piece off the bat signal (not that he’d be able to throw it but it’s a backup nonetheless)

Dick, Jay, and Tim have made it Robin tradition to carry pebbles in their pockets (the justice league has come to associate the soft jingling of rocks with the arrival of the Dark Knight)

Steph finds pretty rocks and quartz to crack open and share with Cassandra- and they cycle through their newest finds (cass does keep a shiny piece of obsidian in her utility belt, it was the first one Steph gave her)

Duke keeps a corner from a road sign in his pouch, the reflective yellow paint matches his theme- (what better representation of the city than perpetual construction)

Damian reverently carries a piece of deep green sea glass from the harbor. The color reminds him of his mother, and he finds the beauty fitting. (The irony that the only way for him to leave his new home is an echo of the reason he’s there in the first place is not lost on him.)

I love the posts that are like "Well this is very clearly the canon but y'all are So Desperate to ignore canon and warp it to whatever fantasy you have for these characters." Like yeah. That's what fandom is. That's what most fan-fiction is built around. The DC fandom specifically is basically built on picking and choosing which comics you personally feel in your heart are canon. That's the fun of it. "Y'all love to ignore some things just to make your character dynamics work." Yes. Yeah that's the point. Correct.
