Ceo Tim Drake - Tumblr Posts
Lol. Imagine how confused they were.
gothamites looking at WE’s new ceo and seeing the kid that they would see run around gotham’s streets with a fancy camera years ago after assuming that he fucking died after he just disappeared(became robin and found a new hobby) and being so confused because yeah he definitely wasn’t a street kid but to find out he was a NEPO BABY??
I always see people saying that Bart Allen is the social butterfly and Tim Drake is the socially awkward one. And while I do not know enough about Bart to have an opinion on him, y'all are so wrong about Tim.
Ma boi was raised by Jack and Janet Drake. People who can afford to buy the manor next to the Wayne's. They own a multi-million company. They're old money.
What I'm trying to say is, Tim is a socialite kid. He knows what to do, how to talk, what smiles to give to old ladies in diamond earrings and the strength with which to shake possible investor's hands so they don't feel threatened or underwhelmed.
Just like Bruce has his Brucie Wayne persona, Tim has Timothy Drake, good convertionalist, straight-A student, the perfect heir and eventually the perfect CEO/shareholder/whatever he is to WE because at this point I've lost track.
Also I love the idea of Damian seeing this at their first gala together finding it absolutely bewildering, because as a person Tim is barely a functional human being and as a vigilante RR has the social skills of a wet paper bag unless dealing with victims, but as Timothy he is this smooth talking, charming bastard who can win everyone's heart at a gala in a couple hours. Damian had gone into that gala expecting his brother to make a fool of himself over and over again, maybe even make it to the magazine covers for falling into the chocolate fountain or something. But for the first time in years, Damian is scared because it has to be some sort of witchcraft to change personalities so easily and Father, run a tox screen on Drake because there is clearly something wrong with him–
Just. Socially competent Tim Drake + little gremlin Damian who is in awe.
At some point, Tim has a day off. He decides to spend part of that day in the skatepark, so he puts on his baggy T shirts over long sleeves and loose jeans, ties his battered trainers, grabs his skateboard and heads off.
Part way through, a bunch of media (or similar) students turn up, asking interviews and doing recordings for their assignment. They spot Tim, (unrecognisable in his personal clothes, rather than work suits) and call him over, both getting permission to record a few stunts (after he realises they have no idea who he is- it'll be funny if they later realise) and answering a couple of their assignment questions (based on Gotham ig) . Amusingly, 1 of the questions is wether he's skipping to be at the skatepark, which he response is that he's actually a drop out, but he used to skip for the skatepark, after working a bunch of internships at di/we for a while, he ended up working there full time.
Anyways it ends up on the Internet, as videos of cool skaters do, and people recognise him and it blows up- because Tim Wayne??? Not I'm business suits, spotted in camera??? Its uncommon. + I feel like the media would often forget that Tim was a high-school drop out if they're not complaining abt it. Also, who knew he was so good with a skateboard? (Everyone who actually knew Tim drake, is the answer)
