TIM DRAKE READING ORDER

For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Tim Drake’s appearances from his debut up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).

how do you infinite scroller webcomic people DO IT

flat fuck friday

Hi I feel like you always have the best batfam fic recs, so I was wondering if you have any recs for any Dick and Tim bonding fics (especially fics that deal with the fallout of Dick giving Robin to Dami)?

hi! so glad you like the recs, i'm always happy to give them 🥰  every time a friend expresses even a passing interest in one of my fav characters i have to stop myself from like, creating a fic rec spreadsheet on the spot.

that said, i got stumped by the second part of this one. i was like oh yes definitely, i totally have read fics for that, and then…could not dig any up from my brain or my bookmarks. i feel like there's a fic on the tip of my tongue, but in the meanwhile, if anyone has any tim & dick red robin reconciliation recs (holy tongue twister, batman) i too would love to see them!

and here are some tim & dick recs in general:

🎄 only you will have stars that can laugh by silverwhittlingknife

set early in tim’s tenure as robin; dick realizes tim is about to be alone on christmas, and they end up spending the holiday together. i love how tentative both dick and tim are about this for different (and at times similar) reasons, and how heartwarming and cozy it ends up being. lots of reflection on family in all its forms and a really good tim & dick dynamic.

🚗 I’d Fly Far Away From Here by Sohotthateveryonedied

in a somewhat similar vein, a oneshot set during tim’s robin era in which tim hitchhikes to blüdhaven after a fight with his dad. dick and tim are two people who technically aren’t brothers yet by law but already are at heart, which doesn’t make it any easier to navigate conversations about tim’s home life or either of their relationship with bruce. (they make it work, though.)

🩹 Not So Large But Definitely In Charge by dottie_dc

tim and dick get tossed into an alternate gotham where there’s no batman or justice league, but find their way to bruce and alfred anyway. this has great tim-under-pressure pov, and the amount that he and dick care about each other even through their arguments is palpable. there’s also a fantastic (and at times gut-wrenching) sequel by JackHawksmoor focusing more on dick & the bruce of this different world. (cw for: past major character death aka alternate universe dick grayson)

🤖 Very Pleasing to My Optical Sensors by waffleelrond

another early robin!tim fic, in which tim gets injured and dick steps in to translate bruce's bruceness about it. it's tentative and sweet and a little silly, and a great bite-sized fic to read when you want to see the two of them just starting out as brothers.

🌌 To an Athlete Dying Young series by SonoSvegliato

at a glance from the summaries this appears like a tim & jason + tim & bruce series (and it is!), but the tim & dick scenes land it on this list for sure. i'm a broken record here with the early-robin!tim & dick recs but man i love them here; in the second fic there's a sequence where dick is teaching tim how to grapple across rooftops that sticks in my mind as one of my top favorite bonding moments for them. (heads up that the series currently ends on a cliffhanger—it's not finished yet!)

🦉 the once and future robin by AstraEllis

and as proof that i can in fact rec something other than early-robin!tim, here's an au where instead of becoming batman's robin tim ends up adopting a talon!dick grayson from another universe as his older brother. and becoming his robin. and then finding his way to the batfamily. i'm fascinated by the tim and alternate-universe-talon!dick relationship in this, and the questions of identity/personhood that it tackles by virtue of the story it is telling. plus, talon!dick's connection to robin as a concept despite the alternate universe aspect is really sweet.

also circling back to red robin reconciliation, i do have these two longfics open in my many tabs to read/finish; both tackle the post-rr era and the dick & tim of it all in their larger plots, so i'll toss in Extant by Kgraces and The Return by lurkinglurkerwholurks to check out too!

In honor of Maisie Peters iconic lyric “Mr. Bruce Wayne where is your cape now?” in her latest song You’re Just A Boy (And I’m Kinda the Man)

Here is a full list of all my completed Tim Drake centered fics ranked by how much I fondly remember them rn

The Failure of Tim Drake… my first Batman fic aww! Tim gets benched for failing a class but he goes off the deep end and becomes convinced there’s another explanation

Tim and Kon v. The World… timkon one shot ✨ for a prank, Tim pretends to be evil. Kon is super into it.

Not Even Nightwing?… TimBer one shot 🫶🏻 a little spice 🔥 Tim claims he’s never had a crush on a vigilante and Bernard is like “not even nightwing??” And Tim is like :/

The Conner Kent Conspiracy Board… Timkon angst Tim figures out Kon likes him, unfortunately before Kon does.

Sore Loser… timkon fluff (with a sprinkle of angst). Tim reveals he’s been going easy on Kon when they spar and it all unravels from there

Champagne Problems… Tim and Kon break up and won’t tell the batfamily why so obviously there’s shenanigans (angst with a happy ending!!)

To All the Vigilantes I’ve Loved Before… my longest fic ever (so far) inspired by the movie to all the boys I’ve loved before. Whenever Tim has a crush on someone in the hero community, he writes them a love letter that he’ll never send. Damian is an evil baby brother and sends them. This causes problems, but can Tim and Kon fake date their way out of this one?

Capture the Flag to the death… Tim, Dick, and Damian play capture the flag and no one in Gotham is safe. Minor timkon.

Aaand one more

+ this one is currently in progress, but I’ve written all of it I’m just editing the last few chapters!

Take me to the airport (call me from the platform)… Tim and Kon start a secret friends with benefits situation, Damian and Tim bond, Young Justice gets fro yo, Tim gets jealous of a barista, Bruce gets flicked in the head by Kate, etc.

Goncharov Lore Thus Far, based on the top tumblr post results

Main cast are Goncharov himself, his wife Katya (née Michailov), and Andrey 

One side character is named Mario Ambrosini. He is described as a “sad boi” and is involved in gambling. 

Set in Naples and involving a drug ring/mafia. The plot seems to involve Russian organized crime attempting to get a foothold in Italy. 

There is a Boat Scene. Katya survives via resourcefulness. 

Andrey and Goncharov have a substantial amount of homoeroticism. Andrey also has an internet in Katya. This forms a true love triangle. 

At some point, Katya threatens to shoot Goncharov. This is framed as a Girlboss Moment. 

There is also a Beer Bottle Scene. 

Katya fakes her death. 

I feel like everyone is overlooking the socio-economic politics embedded in Goncharov (1973).

One of the main themes in the film is time and fighting against a clock that will count down no matter what you do, but the unique societal positions of the characters contribute to this in such interesting ways.

Scorsese clearly did thorough research into the Italian and Russian culture and society during the movies timeframe.

I just really want more political and economic analysis of Goncharov because I think it’s super interesting and opens a lot of new discussions and avenues for dissecting and understanding the film.

gaslight, gatekeep, goncharov i guess

i'm so confused rn, can you explain the goncharov thing?? i get off tumblr for five minutes

Lmaoooo

Nah I getchu. So this post has been circulating for like a year:

But yesterday, it had inspired someone to do this:

Next thing I knew there were fake Letterboxed reviews.

Goncharov moodboards. Really good ones.

Link to post.

Meta analysis. So many fake meta essays. Disturbingly good ones. And of course the memes.

As you can see, the myth just started to grow, characters and ships and tropes being added one after the other, almost bizzarely without contradiction, until there was enough of shape to the whole thing for people to start posting fanfic about it on AO3. "Ice-pick Joe" has already become a meme tag.

It was hilarious in the beginning, but the way it's developed within less than a day, kind of like it's being willed into existence, is freaking me out a bit. We're toying with powers beyond our comprehension. 😂😂😂

Of course, there could be an ulterior motive as well.

Edit: guys, please tag these posts "unreality" so people with disassociation issues can filter them out (not this one, this is an explainer). <3

Edit 2: Aparently the boots in the original post are actually referring to a movie called Gomorrah that came out in 2008, directed by Mateo Garrone, based on The Scampia Feud. And other people had also been making posts about the fake movie for a while before the poster took off.

Edit 3: Now with links to the screenshotted post except the very first one. I can't find it. EDIT: PATIENT ZERO FOUND AND LINKED.

Edit 5: Turns out tumblr has done this kind of thing before. Nine years in this hell place and I had to have "Squiddles" and penis smp explained in the replies.

A little animation in honor of a great project.

The Eeby Deeby renaissance has finally arrived!

this entire website for the past 2 days

So I spun twice...

I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator

Today marks the first day of Pride 2020.

It also marks the seventh day of protests held in honor of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. It’s been 634 days since Botham Jean was murdered by a police officer, 233 days since Atatiana Jefferson was fatally shot by a police officer, 2,123 days since Michael Brown was fatally shot by a police officer, and 2,146 days since Eric Garner was choked to death by a police officer. 

It has been five days since Tony McDade, a Black trans man from Florida, was shot and killed by a police officer.  

At the time of this post, it has been almost 19 hours since David McAtee was shot and killed by the authorities. 

This week has served as a stark reminder that those who have power in this country wield it recklessly and violently against Black people, non-Black POC, and trans people. For some, the power is found in their badge. In others, it’s their skin tone, their socio-economic status, their cisgender privileges, or any other number of privileges one can have. In 2018, with at least 26 trans people who were murdered, all but one was a trans woman, and all but one was a person of color. According to data collected by Human Rights Campaign, this pattern is all too common. It should also be noted that the number of trans people who are murdered is grossly underreported, with many families and newspapers often misgendering those who can no longer speak up for themselves. 

On June 28, 1969, the Stonewall riots began as a response to the constant police raids of nightlife establishments frequented by the LGBTQIA+ community. That night sparked a revolution, with many eye-witnesses crediting Black and Latinx trans women for being brave enough to ignite what would become one of the most pivotal nights in LGBTQIA+ history. Without Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, there would have been no uprising. Without them, there would be no Pride. 

At this moment, it would be tone-deaf and insensitive to commemorate Pride in the same celebratory fashion we usually do. Instead, we’re asking you to make the commitment to better the lives of the oppressed. Do the work to become actively anti-racist if you are not Black. Spread the word that Black lives matter. Spread the word that trans people deserve to feel safe wherever they go. Reblog this post, make your own, or find someone in your life who doesn’t understand and do your best to make them understand. Donate if you can. 

The first Pride was a riot. We stand with you.

So,,,, this guy is nice and all, but I’m not sure he knows that I’m not his dead cousin. Like yes, we’re doing the same job, yes, I’m living in her apartment, yes, I like supporting him and making sure he’s doing okay, yes, both our names start with R and are 4 letters... wait, am I his dead cousin? 

i just had the weirdest moment, i was feeling my front teeth with my tongue because they’re the tiniest bit crooked, and then i had the thought “i’ll check if they’re also crooked in my other mouth” and then i realized to my shock and confusion that i have only one mouth, leading me to believe that in a past life i was a terrible monster with two mouths

What does it mean when you start crying because Yoosung called you and was just super nice? Like it’s only the first day of his route, and I’m already in tears! I am so unprepared for the next several days. 

Someone send me the info of the guy who invented Calculus. I just wanna talk. (failed my math final today! yay me.) 

On the bright side, I’m getting complements from demons and animated online boys. 

I’ve only had Mystic Messenger for a day, but if anything happened to any of the characters, I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself.
