Begging Someone To Write Tcf!tim - Tumblr Posts
OH MY GOD I KNEW THIS WAS GIVING ME MANHWA VIBES!!! Fuckkkkk EATING THIS UPP!!
Thinking about how the reveal would go š
Tim just gaslighting the batfam, full on leaning into his shitty persona and calling them idiots.
Tim: Why would I want to be associated with you??! Who are you calling little brother š are you an idiot??
(Heās dying inside saying to Cass. His SISTER!!)
Cass: *narrows eyes* not an idiot. You are MY Little Brother.
Tim: *sweating buckets*
Baisically Tim screeching like a caught cat being dragged back into the batfam by Cass and forced to confess his sins of time travel (specifically not reintroducing himself to the batfam and asking for help to get rid of the shadow orgs)
Or full drama where Tim is caught in the crossfire between batfam and super powerful shadow organisation trying to dominate the world. Heās wondering why the bats are here, they shouldnāt have known about the shadow org for a couple more weeks!! Tim was supposed to be weakening the shadow org first enough for the batfam to find the clues he planted and then swoop in to kill them off. But they suddenly appeared while Tim was engaging in battle with the shadow org.
Their sudden appearance throws him off. Terrible timing honestly. Tim is distracted because now he has to keep the bats safe AND fight off the shadow org.
The bats are wondering who is this kid that somehow fights well with them, so fluidly, as if having fought side by side with them for years. Why does he know that move?? Did he somehow get bat training???
Then suddenly, Tim sees Jason about to get stabbed by the enemy. Cue intense flashbacks to the negative impact of Jasonās death. Tim is rushing towards Jason, completely forgets about using code names on the field (to be fair heās not used to calling Jasonās new vigilante name, cuz he didnāt die or become red hood)
āJASON! MOVE!!ā Tim parries the attack meant for Jason and takes the enemy down.
However he sustains some serious injuries. And passes out in the arms of a very confused Jason while the rest of the bats clean up the enemy shadow org.
-
Batfam brings Tim back to the cave and they find his phone filled with plans and endless contingencies on how to take down the shadow org. Plus a checklist of all the batfamās trauma he mitigated.
Cue interrogation confession session as Tim reveals his persona was just a facade and he actually time traveled and helped his the family and was working on preventing the end of the world. Alone.
Time Travel AU: Timothy "Trash" Drake Edition
Tim, to save his family and the world, travels back to when he was a kid. Considering the super powerful shadow organizations that are trying to take over the world (and to prevent his family from becoming targets [or he doesn't trust them. Your pick]), he elects to take on a persona:
Timothy "Trash" Drake.
Instead of the kind, charming, intelligent kid he used to be, Tim methodically mucks up his reputation. He's an asshole, he's self-important, and he's like a typical Gotham Socialite but worse. By 16, he's practically a drunk idiot who's only passing school by the Drake name. He's like Brucie Wayne, but he's hated instead of being a loveable fool.
In the background, he's subtly saved people from their tragic events in the timeline. Drake industries has been booming (try as he might, he couldn't save his parents and became the CEO at 16 as an emancipated minor), and a lot of their funds goes towards better wages and benefits for their employees. Continually, they spend a lot on Gotham infrastructure and social programs. This doesn't match the CEO's arrogant, asshole, and greedy ways. Most assume he's just a figurehead anyway.
The important part to note is that the Waynes hate interacting with him and have a strong dislike for him. They don't know that his demeanor is a persona. Jason, in particular, hates his frivolous, wasteful guts.
Tim has been somewhat successful in mitigating the shadow organization's plans and stopping the world from ending. He's still got a few plans in the works, but he's overall satisfied by what he's accomplished.
Issues start to arise when the Waynes notice contradictions in Timothy Drake's behavior.
Timothy is an asshole who only cares about himself, so why did he give away his coat to someone in need? Sure, he complained that it was of poor quality and not to his standards, but he could've just thrown it away.
Someone else notices that he crashes into the champagne tower when someone was getting harassed at a gala. It was supposedly an accident, but the person was able to get away from the harassment.
Timothy also slapped a homophoic asshole when he kept going on and on about their prejudice. The kid played it off as him being mad at them for stealing his look, but are all of these incidents coincidences?
The final nail in the coffin? Cass goes to her first gala where Tim in in attendance (he has purposefully avoided anywhere she would be). She takes one glance at him, smiles, and then softly says, "Little Brother."
Safe to say everyone promptly looses their shit.
Anyways, I kind of want to see a Trash of the Count's Family AU with Tim Drake
