Reverse Robins AU!

Damian | Timothy | Jason | Dick

• Early Life:

Timothy Drake was left alone for most of his childhood, locked away in his parents' manor he learned how to pick locks and hack security systems to sneak out. He grew up with tales of Batman and his shadow, and when he was nine he began to research who they might be. Honestly it wasn't too hard to connect Batman and the Shadow to Bruce and Damian Wayne. What was hard though, was talking himself out of trouble when they caught him sneaking into the Cave.

When Damian cut ties with Bruce, eleven year old Tim stepped up. Tim fulfilling his life long dream of becoming a hero, and Bruce being given a second chance at being a father with a boy who chose him.

• First Outing:

While you could consider young Timothy breaking into the Cave as his first outing, the first time he appeared as his superhero alter was months after being taken in by Bruce. Batman was adamant that Tim did not have enough training in comparison to his first sidekick (and the other bats) to appear in the field. But when Batman was captured by Scarecrow, and Tim fought through his own fear to save him, Bruce decided it was time.

• The Name:

Tim spent his early days meticulously crafting his superhero name.

Nuthatch? No, that would be shortened to Nut.

Batboy? Juvenile.

Boybat? Worse.

Myotis? Sounds too much like mitosis.

Red Bat? Filing away for later.

Aves? Yeah Aves, short and snappy.

Tim often credits himself with the addition of red to the family color chart.

• Home Life:

Tim's home life was much less rocky than Damian's, Bruce put in more of an effort to help the boy who chose him. Actually taking an interest in his education for example, and pushing him to take an interest in Wayne Enterprises.

Damian and Tim don't have a personal relationship at all until they establish a working relationship. Their interactions outside of work are akin to that cousin you only see at family gatherings who you don't dislike but you never speak to.

• Independence:

When Tim was 15 he was benched. The moniker of Aves ripped away from him, due to his time as Joker Jr. His injuries sustained then, both physical and mental, made him unfit for duty.

After an event referred to as the "Incident," Tim returned to the life of vigilantism to support Batman as Red Bat, and briefly as Drake.

@eyes-of-the-rave @thrawns-teef-weef @ephemeral-justice @koteseeker @purgetrooperfox @cyarebunnies @ulysses-but-somehow-more-transer

OKAY OkAy BUT a fanfic about cheri stealing a cedf ship after being enlisted and finding thrawn with Ezra and what's left of the Chimera and then Ezra teachers her to be a jedi and omg she gets conflicted about her idol thrawn because he's SO different. He like BIG BAD now. EZRA is talking mad crap saying how thrawn bombed lothal and totally let a guy EXPLODE. And Thrawns all like "but it's for the good of the Ascendancy che'ri. Empire lesser evil bleh blew bleh" and Che'ri is all like "dood wtf you literally saved a species from extinction. And Ar'alani definitely told me about that morse code shit that one time in the Greater Good Book) and she re- sensitzes thrawn (that's not even a word be like you know what I mean). OMG I should learn to be a story teller. God dayum im on a ROLL

And you get a hug 🤗

Imagine how tired he is.

Hmmm... I'm sure he would let me ride him. Laying on the bed with a glass of wine in a dressing gown, he would let me do it, ordering me the pace and telling me i'm doing good work for him.

I'm sure he has a praise kink

Okay okay you got me there. I can see him as a cowgirl type of guy.

And that praise kink 😳

I'm just saying he'd probably be crazy for a "my Patriarch."

It's awesome! And technically the Acendancy books show this to a degree (and they are Canon). I think the only reason that so many fans see him as cold and heartless is because unlike Vader and other main villains he doesn't have the "wife died, former gifted kid, son of the savior" points that make people feel for him. At least in the movies/TV shows. Also we don't see his POV, we only see from the people around him, and even in the Zahn books the imperial around him find him extreme meanwhile the Chiss are just like "aww he shot him."

I hope that this is the mindset that Thrawn continues to have in live action.

He may serve the Empire but he is still fiercely loyal to the Chiss people. I hope we see that.

With every story you write, you learn a little more about the craft and art of storytelling. Your voice and your style shines brighter with each tale you tell. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try something new because discovery is your greatest asset! 

So stock up on those WIPs! Stack ‘em high! Keep telling your stories because you never know what you’ll learn about your writing today! :)

When you get this, please respond with five things that make you happy! then, send to your last ten people in your notifs (anonymously). you never know who might benefit from spreading positivity. <3

Hello darling! Five things that make me happy are:

Dungeons and Dragons, MY LOVE I'm DMing a campaign at this very moment and nothing brings me more joy than that of my players.

The Chiss Ascendancy, was it even a question that this would be on this list? Thrawn, Thurfian, the lot. 💙

MUSIC! My escape. My personal favorite song at this moment is Dog Days Are Over by Florence + The Machine

Work, as strange as it is, I absolutely love staying busy.

Silence.

Send this to ten other bloggers that you think are wonderful. Keep the game going, make someone smile!!! 💕

You're a doll. Have all of the Thurfian love 💙
