#Tim drake is deranged

Prefacing this with I haven't read the comics I just dip in and out like the canon is a pool and I'm trying to climb onto a pool floatie.
So y'all remember that weird fucked up mind game test Bruce pulled on Tim in the beginning of their bullshit? The real fucked up mindgame that made Tim quit being robin for a bit, before coming back and being all "I know I'm not gonna get an apology." And Bruce was all "good."?
What if Tim realized it for what it was.
Tim realizes the test is a test and decides to get back at Bruce in his own game.
Bruce wants to act like he doesn't care about him in an effort to protect himself from grief if another kid ends up dying? That's fine.
Bruce resorting to psychological mind games to drive Tim away from seeking any support??
Not cool.
Tim realizes, and pulls a Hamlet.
He likes Dick, doesn't want the man to go through what Bruce is about to, and goes to Bludhaven to directly tell Dick not to believe ANYTHING Batman says for a month if it relates to Tim, that he's gonna teach the old man a lesson.
Dicks like "uhhhhhhh okay? U know we can just tell him whatever he's done is wrong, right?"
And Tim's just "nah, I'm past that point. See u in like three weeks to a month. This conversation didn't happen."
He leaves a copy of Hamlet in his locker in the bat cave, the only clue he's gonna drop until all is said and done, and gets to work.
Pretends that Bruce's mind fuck has driven him mad, pretends that he's sneaking off to chase down leads, pretends to talk to people that aren't there, visits the joker just to learn how to mimic his laugh, (side bar, joker has no idea why the new robin is visiting him and disabling the cameras, or why the kid just copies what he says and when he laughs, but after like two weeks of it he may be slightly uncomfortable around the kid no lie) uses makeup to make his eye bags look worse and trashes his own house (his parents are gonna be so pissed but he's already angrier than they could ever hope to be, so they can suck it), acts so unhinged Bruce calls it off and tries to tell him the truth, only for Tim to pretend like he doesn't believe him and steal the robin uniform and run away, and then goes and sneaks away from his own house (he knew he was being watched) to a warehouse he predetermined with a conspiracy theory board and string in his room (he needs to make sure Bruce knows where Tim wants him to go) and the conspiracy theory is just an amalgamation of the bullshit Joker spews (again, joker is really confused by this strange child hero and very slightly unsettled, what the fuck Batman where the fuck did u get this robin, maybe return him to the robin store? This one's defunct), makes sure it's abandoned, and blows it to hell with the robin uniform inside
He knows Bruce will be too jarred, to lost in the major trauma buttons Tim is pushing with the warehouse explosion, to do a proper analysis. He KNOWS Bruce will want it done as quickly as possible, and try to bury Tim as quickly as he can. He knows his parents won't get any phone calls for at least a month.
Then he goes to ground for a week.
Walks back into the cave after that week, corners a grieving and broken Bruce, and asks him how he likes mind games now.
After all, it was just a TEST. There was no need to skip basic steps like DNA analysis, that's just SLOPPY Bruce.
Dick, who had been warned by Tim early on and kinda knew the kid was gonna pull a fast one of Bruce, had NO IDEA it was gonna be this depraved, and is very highly Shook. Nor did he realize Bruce had tried a mind game first, and is...disappointed but not surprised, really.
But holy shit Tim Bruce started at a 9 and you escalated to a goddamn 25.
Bruce, realizing that they may both be a bit fucked up, acquiesces to therapy. For all of them. Holy shit for all of them, because that was NOT a normal teenage response and he is beginning to sense some distinctly villainous red flags from this kid.
Next time the joker breaks out he flat out refuses to believe that Tim is a Robin, and joker is the one that starts the whole Cuckoo thing, and asks Batman if he's gonna send the kid to Arkham early or if this is a weird intervention program he's trying.
Then he tries to murder like fifty people cuz he's the motherfucking JOKER.

Tim Drake is usually called the smart Robin which I like don't get me wrong but all of the bats are smart and I do love my Tim but my Tim is just a bit different.
I want Tim drake half out of his mind fucking with Lex Luthor while he chugs 6 monsters. I want baby stalker who was heavy breathing putting together a red string murder board at 3:00 am with very sketchy stalker pictures of the Wayne's.
I want titans tower where Tim knew it was Jason and is about to home alone that shit. While also internally fanboying and giving Jason tips on how to murder the joker.
Tim Drake who doesn't get disturbed by Ra on Tuesday cause he knows Tim has plans with young Justice and Tim will destroy all of his bases again if he is bothered.
Tim who thought Damian was adorable and everytime he makes an attempt on his life gets a new paint set because that is the Drake way and no little brother of his isn't gonna understand premeditated murder.
TIM Drake who owns up to the clones and the boy who Kon knows is a little murdery gremlin and loves that about his boyfriend.
My Tim drake need to be balls to the wall fucking insane or I don't want that shit.

How do think everyone in the batfamily would react to meeting Thomas and Martha?
Tim: [Conspiracy theorist noises, no one knows if they’re good or bad]
Jason: great, more rich people. Not like we have enough of those. [Loves Martha and wants to know if Catherine is okay, if there’s even a possibility of knowing.]
Dick: sorry I knocked off your ashes while doing gymnastics, grandpa. I think you were in the vacuum cleaner for a while :/
Thomas: meh, it happens :D as long as you’re having fun!
Duke: ok so wait. You’re telling me Gotham used to be WORSE?
Damian: [Keeps getting his cheeks pinched] Can you purchase the government and make animal abuse punishable by hanging?
Thomas: I’m sure we can make that happen! Anything for my little man!
Bruce: Father :|
Thomas: What, I miss the death penalty. Now those were the days.
Bruce: Mother!
Martha: Don’t look at me. I made Luigi Maroni drink a bleach cocktail for kicking a cat.
Damian: …You’ve earned my admiration, Grandmother.

While I do get the appeal of making Tim a child photographer genius or give him some tragic backstory I think him having had a relatively normal childhood is infinitely funnier because it gives him absolutely no reason to behave the way he does
Like many heroes have trauma or a tragic origin story but Tim just does unhinged stuff because he can and wants to. That's a choice.

I only had ten slots on that poll or I would have included the "faked an assassination attempt and a debilitating injury for a year because a reporter figured out his secret ID" thing that was the Vicki Vale Incident in Red Robin

having young justice thoughts again and. wow. they really just exemplify the desperation and intimacy of teenage friendship don’t they.
Tumblr media
like this line my god. there’s this forced proximity that constructs such bone deep bonds. you’re not just close cause you have similar interests or worldviews, you’re close in a way that can mean you know each other better than you know yourself. and there’s this paradoxical immortality and ephemerality to it because in the moment all you focus on is the feeling, that need to cling onto each other that lengthens seconds into hours. but underneath it all is that looming threat of adulthood that threatens to rip it at the seams through the pressure of responsibility and expectation.
Tumblr media
as much as I have mixed feelings on graduation day lol. I think it captures that conflict in an interesting way. because despite their bond, it’s not enough and they rip themselves apart under the pressure. BUT. and I think this is a core part of teenage friendship (ESPECIALLY queer teen friendships but conversation for another day). they rebuild, they drift towards each other again and sew patches on the rips. because ultimately, nothing can hope to replace that bond they have with each other. so they’ll stitch themselves back together no matter what, not just cause they want to, but because they HAVE to.

DcxDp prompt
based on a mix of "TWINcognito mode" on ao3 and the "mad scientist fenton" au and some other clone promt i can't remember the name of (2 for 1 or something)
so essentially ra's makes a clone of tim with his spleen (because he's a creep) and dunked it in the lazarus pits because something, readers choice. But something went wrong, like really wrong and now not only does said clone (now danny) have some eldritch soul
But because of the pits, his memories (both from tim and danny) are so mingled and messy that he can't tell the two sets of memories apart from one another.
So with his mixed up mind danny runs away from ra's and vanishes from the league of assassins radar.
On another note multiple heros/vigilantes have this mad scientist teen running around calling himself fenton
(Danny only has vague memories from both himself and tim as well as a bunch of random information, but he can't tell the memories apart from each other, also I'd like to imagine that because he has such vague memories he ends up creating Android/robot versions of like sam, tucker, jazz and such)
and here are the references for this prompt

Tim: It's like my dad always says: you should never open the door.
Cassie: What do you mean?
Tim: An unopened door is a happy door, so we never answer ours when someone knocks.
Kon: What, so you all just sit there?
Tim: Yes.
Cassie: So the doorbell goes... and you all just sit there... until the person goes away?
Tim: Yes.
Cassie: What if it's important! What if it's good news?
Tim: This is Gotham, Cassie. It's not someone with cake. Unless that cake is made of Joker Gas and knives.
