the thing about people writing tim as insecure is like yeah he is insecure and a little desperate and the cockiness is partly a defense mechanism. but he would NEVER actually let on that he is even remotely insecure. he's an unreliable narrator because he doesn't even let the reader know he's insecure most of the time. tim would rather disembowel himself with a grapefruit spoon than have even his closest loved ones know that he's a little insecure sometimes
Do you have any other thoughts about the Cole haunting the monastry au or plans for it? It’s super cool!
yes, actually! these are some random thoughts that I've had for it
Cole didn't know that he was the elemental master of earth when Wu first took him in. it took all the way up until this au's version of DotD before he realised.
he gains his true potential in s13
when Lou finds out Cole's alive, he is happy, but he also knows that he wasn't the best parent, which is why he lets Cole stay with the ninja
the timeline for this is a bit messed up, but it probably goes something like: Cole is 7 when Wu adopts him -> he's 8 when he dies and haunts the monastery -> chronologically 14 when the rest of the ninja arrive -> chronologically 15 during s5 and when he goes through the rift
Cole was really bitter and angry towards Wu in the beginning. he thought that Wu didn't care for him, which is why he ran away and got killed.
in the alternate version of this where he ends up in the cursed realm with Morro, he doesn't care about Wu at all. he's found a new family in Morro and the other cursed spirits, so why should he care about someone who didn't care about him? Wu did care. he was just bad at showing it, and Cole does care. just a tiny bit. enough to ask why Wu didn't look for him
this isn't a fun tidbit about this au or anything but I actually came up with this before I got into DC yet there are a scary amount of similarities
alternate version Cole did know that he was an elemental master. Morro told him in the cursed realm and helped train him
the main au version of Cole inconvenienced Wu multiple times by knocking over his tea or letting his papers fly everywhere because he was 8 and also very petty
Ok these tags are so sweet and genuinely do make me feel better tysm <333
