Oh, Tim Drake

[spatz]

AHAHAHA. I've been bookmarking some saved fic to Delicious, and I tagged a few Tim/Kon stories (the third Robin & Superboy, for those of you less familiar with DC Comics) and noticed something bizarre: ALL of them had my "fakerelationship" tag, which I use when characters are pretending to be involved when they're not, or are in a relationship under false pretenses (i.e., undercover, fake identity, lying, etc). Three in a row! Hilariously, this is *not* a coincidence, because it's just *such* a Tim thing to do.

I'm not really surprised, it just makes me go: AHAHAHAHA TIM DRAKE. Warped from a young age by Batman, that one. Devious, canonically voyeuristic, and faily at human interaction when he's not undercover as someone else.

I love him so. ♥

Oh, Tim. It could be worse. He could be like Jason.

Haha, good question. Dick did have decent parents before he was orphaned and subjected to Bruce Wayne's craziness, I think. Whereas Jason had a criminal childhood, and Tim's parents were around so rarely that he was able to stalk Batman around Gotham with a camera. Honestly, though, Tim might be weird and Battish, but he does have a solid, close group of friends (probably Dick's influence there) and isn't an antisocial insane lone wolf like Jason.

The real question is why I don't have you on my delicious network, unless you keep it a secret, in which case I respect your life choices :)

*laughs* Sorry! Lazy poster is lazy. I've linked to the account before, at some point? But anyway: my Tim/Kon tag (http://delicious.com/spatz13/tim%2Fkon), which will lead you to the main account. I'm almost at 1000 (public) bookmarks! Very exciting.

:D! Honestly, the most fun of bookmarking is coming up with names for all the ridiculous tropes I love. Sometimes I stare at other people's with envy.

dude, YES. Some people are SO ORGANIZED!!!

I was doing really well for a while, and then I completely stopped bookmarking things, and now I'm back to bookmarking things, but with crappy tags. Oh well, someday I'll go back and fix it all up.


ps. mmmtropes. I love that word. trope trope trope.
