I WANT MY CRAZY TIM BACK PLS

I mean, I agree, lol. There is just this huge misunderstanding in the fandom. Jason, sure, is sarcastic, but he has a dry kind of sarcasm. He’s not the playboy, confident in himself and energetic kind. That’s Roy and Dick.

Tim, sure, is nerdy and in canon has different instances where he’s shown playing table/video games. But that’s not all there is to his personality. Some people seem to forget his unhinged side. The same guy that’s hard to break down because he learned to be self sufficient out of necessity, since everyone he loves dies or abandons him. The same guy who is manipulative, judgmental, and headstrong.

Sure, it’s fanfiction, and everyone can represent him as they wish. There’s a difference, though, between representing your headcanons and perpetually carrying on a flawed fanon interpretation. The latter, in my opinion, has killed Tim’s character. He is not your sunshine kawaii bean; he is an absolute mess of a person who doesn’t handle loss well, overthinks for his life and will probably judge you the first time you two meet.

With that aside, I still love him. In my writing, I try to explore multiple sides of the characters, making them 3D rather than flat 2D individuals. They are neither good nor bad. They are flawed individuals because that’s what humans are. I hope that comes across in my writing, and if you have any suggestions, I’m open to them :)
