Brutim - Tumblr Posts
Hello!!! So it looks like Twitter is kinda dying 😭 which is a shame because it seems most of the people over there don't have a Tumblr backup (and I mean, I didn't have this one until recently) but anyway, I want to start posting more here and once again create a safe space for pro-ship bottom Tim fans who just want to have fun and meet people!
After I download my tweets I might start re-posting some ideas here, but also I'm thinking about using Tumblr to create short fics more comfortably (threads have never been my thing) so perhaps moving here would be good for my works 🤔 since I could come here, write and then just do some quick edition before posting on AO3. Anyway!!!
Again, I'm Mistress! I'm a pro-ship and anti-harassment account. Exclusively bottom Tim Drake!!! I'm an everyone/Tim shipper, meaning I give Tim an harem! Mainly Ra'sTim, BruTim, JayTim, JeanTim & KonTim.
I'm also a huge fan of Lex Luthor, Ra's al Ghul, Cole Cash, Barbara Gordon, Selina Kyle and Jean-Paul Valley 💚

Random thought but Tim is basically a Disney princess:
- Lost his mother
- Had an stepmother
- Toxic dad
- Has been poisoned
- Good with kids&animals
- People are attracted by his kind nature & get softer around him
- Problems "fixed" when a handsome powerful man takes him in
Following on this:
A fic where a bored magician notices this and decides to trap Tim and every man that has loved him in a fantasy world 👀
Tim is the princess, of course. Beautiful, immaculate, pure, brilliant. He's also extremely mad that he's trapped in this fairy tale and he's the only one aware of the spell. He likes the pompous dresses of his wardrobe and he adores being called a princess with tender rather than mockery, but he's *not* going to follow the ridiculous drama that the magician has set up for him.
Meanwhile all of Tim's not-boyfriends are here too! Their roles are, somehow, expected:
Ra's is an emperor from a foreign country. Widowed and raising his children alone. He's enamoured with Tim and offers princess Tim a life outside the castle and traveling around the world. Ra's is also a dragon that will burn everything down if that's what it takes to protect his beloved Tim.
Jean-Paul is Tim's loyal knight. He was trained to serve the princess but his love is real and true. He would give his life for Tim and he has made peace with loving his princess in silence, resigning himself to the fact that eventually Tim will marry some prince or king. Jean's just a knight, he can't dare to tell the princess that he loves him... But Jean always protects Tim. Always.
Jason is a royal general. He is of noble blood, but he's not a prince and his power comes from being of a military lineage that has won plenty of battles. He's brave and rough and dangerous, and he wishes to have the fairest creature of the court: Timothy.
Damian is the prince of Gotham, the closest kingdom to the Drake's state. He's arrogant, a genius, and also a wonderful artist. His love for Tim is complicated, and Tim shivers everytime Damian looks at him with those unreadable green eyes.
Bruce is Gotham's king. He is aware of Damian's feelings towards Tim, and he (Bruce) hides his own emotions deep in his mind. He is forbidden to love Tim, specially when the princess is so young and better than a broken man like him. Bruce allows Damian to court Timothy, and he smiles when he sees Damian painting Tim's portrait.
Kon is the son of king Alexander Luthor of Metropolis. His attraction to Tim is - funny. Kon's a playboy, spending his time at battles and parties, never settling down with anyone. Yet he's not shy to send courting gifts to princess Tim, and he talks of their wedding as a fact rather than a wish: Tim will be his wife and queen, or so Kon swears.
Lonnie, leader of the rebellion, refuses to speak of his relationship or feelings towards princess Tim. He has none of those ridiculous attachments to that crown clown that should be destroyed. Lonnie will destroy the monarchy, and he won't show mercy to the princess (except Lonnie never strikes his promised attack, and everything are just whispers in the dark night).
Tim, the only one who knows they are trapped in a spell, tries his best to break it, but as time passes, he finds that the only way to break free is to take a route that the magician hasn't considered.
That's how princess Tim ends up running away with Lobo, an scary warrior of the other side of the world, whose smile has been the last view of people before death and whose sword has destroyed empires. Lobo, who had winked at Tim one time in the real world, is the key to finally break the spell.
They all go back to their real lives, ashamed and blushed, and also angry at the vivid memory of coming back and seeing Lobo and Tim in the center of it all, kissing.
Lobo leaves Earth, as usual, but not before casually telling Tim that, if he wanted to marry one day... Well, Lobo has been thinking of settling down for a while now, and Tim is a good match. He's just saying the obvious, okay? Totally no feelings involved!
Tim concludes that being a princess isn't that bad.

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? 🥰
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!
They're fictional characters on a fictional world where the whole plot is that a middle aged man couldn't go to therapy and has been raising children to dress in leather and go out at night to beat criminals.
And you are "concerned" about batcest.
How, out of everything DC as a franchise and fandom has, is Jason and Tim (for example) kissing the point where people draw the line? Why is TimSteph an exception but DickBabs isn't? Don't they both have families and have made clear they don't see Bruce as a father? Why is CassSteph fine but JayTim isn't? How come these moral clutchings of pearls are always focused on the same "bat kids" and never include Duke, Luke, Harper, Jean-Paul, Helena (both Wayne and Bertinelli)? What about Kate? What about Selina?
Then again, this fandom from OP here is the same one that has tried to burn Ra'sTim dow by calling it incest (as if Ra's al Ghul, a man whose family ties are as complex as his motivations, would consider the protégée of the man that dated his daughter, related to him at all).
Truth is: Almost no bat ship is going to contain any theme of incest. Most of them aren't related by blood nor were they raised together nor have they showed traditional familiar dynamics. Jean-Paul on the late 90s was actually wonderfully written on that topic, as we see him considering Babs an older sister figure yet being attracted to her (a feeling that was mutual, but not at the same time). Found family isn't about traditional and conservative family roles, it's about a group of people that find comfort of some sort together, and the nature of their relationships can be complex, dark, awkward and even painful.
Sure, as a writer, I do use the term batcest and find it funny to play with silly ideas about their messy group of people in latex that uses violence to cope. Rationally, however, we are talking about drawings on paper that have been played with by multiple people for years. Wonder Woman was born from the kinky sex life of some man and people eat it up but God forbid someone on the internet writes BruDick (which was a huge icon of the queer and homosexual community for decades!).
I'm way too tired to keep going, but honestly? One could make an essay on the awfully conservative tendency of new people in fandom for sanitizing content and labeling all media and putting characters in tiny boxes. You CAN'T come to a fandom that has been around for years (and made up mostly by queer people and women, btw!) and decide that YOUR subjective and biased interpretation is the only correct interpretation. This is not how fandom works and even less how media comprehension works.
HI I thought you'd like to vote on this poll!!!! Because I hate how annoying people can be (and yes I voted for yes and that's the propaganda I'm trying to give here lol) don't feel forced to! https://www.tumblr.com/bibibusinessman/745499108695048193/do-you-support-batcest-even-for-not-legal-batkids?source=share
Just did! Also, thank you for sending it. I admit I love having an excuse to write my thoughts on fandom, meta and interpretations of media. 💕✨
