I didn't realize the Gotham Knights a) had Carrie Kelley, and b) Carrie Kelley was Black.

So uhm...

I love Black-Cantonese Tim, but I prefer Tim's canon Origin story a lot.

I also like Carrie's canon origin story.

She is completely ignored by her stoner parents (it was the Reagan era), and is later attacked by a former Robin angry at being replaced who now resembles the Joker. She also saved Batman's life (literally) in the aftermath of his grief over Jason's death.

I've always thought, since I got into Batman stuff in 2014, that they had a lot of parallels. And I've always wanted to do a "Carrie in canon Batfam" AU. And I'd already decided that if I ever do a longer fic again, Black-Cantonese Tim is so canon.

So like, hear me out:

Tim is upset about being replaced, and Red Robin starts to get more aggressive, after that and Bruce's disappearance. Carrie seeing Robin and the New Vigilante being violent, tries to be Robin herself as what Robin should be. Tim and her meet, and aside from hitting it off, Tim has one of his "this is so fucking insane and would not work irl but this is comics" ideas. Carrie hasn't gone into puberty yet, and he hasn't had his growth spurt yet. And their faces are mildly similar. Similar enough for Gotham's 80% white population to not notice (both of them find this upsetting and hilarious) when they begin switching the suit. While Tim is Red Robining, Carrie is wearing the exact same Robin suit he did, and no one even knows its her.

Carrie also moonlights as Catgirl under Selina, just like Tim used to as Stray. When Tim comes back, she becomes his personal Robin. Under the name: Orange Robin (keeps up the Tim Drake tradition of horrible hero names).

Then, when Tim turns 18, he fosters her.

It all just...fits together so perfectly.

I really...really....really might sit down in do this, once I finish some other creative projects. Like...man.

(added Bonus of Tim teaching Cass Mandarin, the language of her Mother, who Tim also has a mentorship under. Making Cass and Tim siblings on 2 bases) (Cassie uses slingshots in comics. Maybe...she asks Jason for help with her aim? He gives her one of those crossbows that looks sort of like a gun?? Alfred helps too?? There's a whole lot of possibilities here and I keep thinking of other bits to add. We'll see)

#Glad Gotham Knights and Titans contributed some good ideas to the Batman world at least #If I liked Joker Junior I could make Tim Jokerified and attack her #as a parallel to both their stories coming full circle #But Joker Junior just never interested me much #Batman #Batfam #Robin #Red Robin #The Drake #Bruce Wayne #Tim Drake #Carrie Kelley #Titans #Gotham Knights #Stray AU #Catlad AU #Jason Todd #Cassandra Cain

hello

recently I've been introduced to an au concept where jason is adopted by selina instead of bruce. any fic recs?

'go mad by ricocheting' by Shenanigans

"No, no, Kitten," she'd whispered, snagging the small boy by the back of a ragged collar when he'd started creeping forward out of the shadows in Crime Alley with a gleam of purpose in his eyes.

He'd kicked her, startlingly strong and determinedly violent for such a scrawny package. She'd kept a hand on him, blocking and twisting until she'd managed one quick smack to his forehead, startling him to blink up at her in absolute betrayal.

"Did you just fuckin' flick me, lady?" he'd kept the question hissed and subvocal, aware even in his blatant shock that they needed to stay silent this close to the Bat.

"I would spray you but I left my bottle at home, Kitten," she'd replied in the same low tone, holding his eyes as she kept an ear out for the feel of where Batman would loom from a shadow. "You do not want to steal-"

His freckled face had screwed up as he took a deep breath to argue and she had pressed one sharp tipped claw to hush him.

@jaytimweek: Different Mentors AU For Tim it was obvious that it would be Stray/Catlad, but Jason I was undecided. Poison Ivy, Deathstroke, Ra's al Ghul… in the end (thank you so much procrastination) I chose Black Mask. That way I would have left also a normal Jason. "E amore accanto a te, baby, accanto a te Io morirò da re, eh-yeah🎶"

Summary:

“I don’t have time to explain, just follow my lead, don’t give us away and whatever you do, do not contradict me!”

That was all Robin heard before he was suddenly hauled up with gloved hands from his vantage point on the top of the warehouse across the one over that he was watching. He hadn’t even heard Stray approach him, which seemed impossible cause the cat burglar was clearly in some kind of rush and now that Robin was aware of him, making quite a ruckus.

“What the hell are you-“

“Shh! This is gonna be hard enough without your questions and your banter.” The cat hissed, ripping off his cape with fluid ease and forcing Robin into a black leather jacket. Where had that come from? “Well! Zip it up! And put these one, honestly, you are wearing panties.” Stray huffed, throwing a pair of leather pants in the vigilante’s face before scouting around the door that lead down into the warehouse.

 Jason was just trying to keep to his mission, case out this warehouse near the docks, see if anything was going on there to confirm the whispers, but no, stupid Stray just had to crash his patrol and make a huge mess of things. He didn't sign up for this, he was Robin Boy Wonder, not cat boy's little helper.

The way out of the batfamily for Dick is clear. Robin will bring reconned until Dick no longer knows Bruce. He’ll be free.

/this is a sarcastic joke

Jason will get the boot too. And then it'll just be Tim stalking Bruce until Bruce agrees that he needs a partner of some sort.

No but this is fun because this means we can take over the "Robins meet in the streets and become a found family because Bruce never took them in AU." Except it's just Dick and Jason. And then we can turn that into a Dick and Jason Catlad AU lmao. Bruce and Tim vs. Selina, Dick, and Jason.

ik in the au's as selina's protege/sidekick/etc the boys are generally called stray or catlad

but in my fem jason adopted by selina au, julie (jay) is called *alley cat* (before growing up and shit hitting the fan) bc ofc, and i don't think i ever saw that and i think that's unfortunate

i am back at it again with some catlad/stray tim and tim in a straight jacket (its backwards) making sweater paws

[phil-lesterfan]

but if his initials are jt and he has issues out the wazoo you know i’m going to write serious character study genfics about him

#oc #i have so many jason centric fics i want to write and that i think about #its the same with jamie like i have ship fics i dream abt and write for them both too #but like. half the time im literally just writing about them and them alone #like the jaytim is second to jason’s character in my catlad au #and i want to write abt jason’s connection/s to gotham too where there might be slash but its secondary #there’ll prolly be j/omc bc i like to hc him as gay but #thats about jason still LOL

[cactus-fruit-juice]

I love the idea of Selina adopting Jason / Stray / Catlad Jason for multiple reasons

1: already has experience with thieving from growing up in crime alley. (Literally stole the tires off the batmobile, iconic)

2: he is built like a tank. Arguably the least stealthy body type out of any of the robins. Yes he's good at stealth, yes he's still flexible, but the idea of him having to find alternative routes all the time because "no Selina I can't fit in the vent" is incredibly funny to me. And yeah it's like he might have a body type like that because of how he trained but considering he came to his massive build while literally training under assassins (where stealth is key) it makes me think tank is just in his blood.

3. The outfit!? Would it just be an all black vibe with a leather jacket so he kinda just looks like a normal angsty dude when he's not wearing a mask? Would he still have a helmet? Would it have cat ears? I doubt he'd go with a completely leather fit like Selina but he'd probs still go with a leather jacket. Either way the options are either he looks like a normal person that just is next to catwoman or he also has a strong cat motif and I love both options

Whoever said There should be a new batcat kid actually is so right I think it’d be funny

Hi! I love your jaytim art it's adorable! I was wondering if you had any interest in drawing jaytim where Tim is stray/catlad instead of red robin? I love those AUs and I think your Tim would make a really cute stray/catlad :)

Thank you so much!! and honestly? I think about it all the time! I actually have a soft spot for the catlad/stray au i think i just have a hard time actually drawing it since im not exactly sure which design for the costume is the generally accepted one 😅 and im not much of a designer to make my own!

#jaytim #tim drake #jason todd #red hood #dc comics #when i think of making someone 'catlike' i think of the secsy stereotype #but then i think of the cat memes and i think 'i must do both' 🤪 #answered ask #anonymous #anon #sketch #stray/catlad #stray!tim

I got a bee in my bonnet and spent last night crunching these numbers to confirm a long-held suspicion of mine, and now I'm going to do something with them even if it's only interesting to me. So.

I went through and tallied up all of the fics AO3 currently (as of 3/27/24) has under the tags "Trans Tim Drake," "Nonbinary Tim Drake," "Genderfluid Tim Drake" and "Genderqueer Tim Drake," since I figured that cast a wide enough net without committing myself to reading every fic vaguely tagged Trans Character to figure out which character they were talking about.

I then did the same for Dick, Jason, Damian and Bruce and, after comparing those numbers against each other and against the total number of fics each character has under their general tag, followed up with Duke, Babs, Cass, Steph and Kate, and then Kon, Cassie, and Bart for good measure.

The results confirm the suspicions I was going into check and are really interesting, to me at least:

Despite having far fewer stories overall than Jason, Bruce or Dick, Tim has by far the most stories tagging him under the trans umbrella (653 out of 58,395) and is the only member of the Bats for whom at least one full percent of his stories fall under that category (1.12% to be exact.) He actually has more total trans stories than Jason and Damian combined (308 out of 71,120 and 255 out of 42,607, equaling 0.43% and 0.59%, respectively) and outstretches the 2nd place ranker, Dick, by over a hundred (who clocks in at 438 out of 79,057 -- 0.55%). Bruce amusingly has by far the most stories overall (90,305) but the fewest trans stories (185) for the lowest percentage among the boys (0.2%).

The only one who comes anywhere close to matching Tim percentage-wise is Bart, who has far fewer stories to his name but a ratio of 62 out of 5,717 for 1.08%. I was thinking maybe Young Justice might have a higher percentage than the Bats due to their strong queer fandom but that only really proved true for Bart, with both Cassie and Kon coming in at only 0.2% and 0.28% trans umbrella percentage respectively (actual count 6 out of 2,874 and 39 out of 13,746).

Cassie's numbers correspond with the fact that women just, do not get a lot of these stories, at all, even compared to the general lack of attention they're paid by fanfiction spheres in general. Steph and Kate both clocked in at falling 0.17% under the trans umbrella (29 out of 16,638 for Steph, 5 out of 2,897 for Kate); Cass got 0.13% (21 out of 15,769) and Babs only 0.07%, the lowest percentage out of anyone I calculated for (11 out of 15,785). Duke's showing was a respectable 0.55% (34 out of 6,166) which puts him about even with the rest of the boys.

All of which I just went through to confirm a gut instinct I've had for a while: even in light of the noticeable trend in fandom towards increased visibility for trans and other queer-gendered people over the last decade and a half or so, it's a notable Thing for the DC comics fandom to explore with Tim Drake in specific.

And that doesn't even take into account things like the over 200 "Tim Drake is Catlad | Stray" fics, which almost always have some element of queered gender or at least femme'd sexuality to them, far outstripping any of the other Robin boys' spins in that AU (those counts stand at, respectively: Damian - 11, Dick - 33, Jason - 79, Tim - 242). Or the 11 fics logged under the "Tim Drake is Batgirl" tag, a category that doesn't even exist for any of the other male Robins.

(What makes that last one extra hilarious to me that most people don't know one canonical version of Tim has been a member of the Batgirls.) Part of me wants to use that parenthetic detail as a segway to ramble about the various canon snippets I think probably contributed to this, from Tim being presented as "the pretty one" who most often gets the "looks like his mother" comments to the fact that he is the only male Robin who's ever cross-dressed for an undercover mission and even though it only happened once the Internet will never forget Caroline Hill.

But this post is long enough as it is and I don't really have a point beyond I think this is interesting and cool so I'm going to leave off here for now and put my numbers under a cut so people have the raw data to look at if they'd like to.

TL;DR - Based on the numbers, the internet believes Tim Drake is more likely to be trans than any other member of the Bat-family or Young Justice, and I think that has interesting implications about his character and fandom. It's neat.

Tim was a little nervous.

Okay, he was a lot nervous, but don’t tell Selina that.

This was going to be his first night out on his own, flying solo, on his very own heist! He’d been working and training with her for months now after the months he had begged her to take him on as her partners and it was time to really prove himself. It was do or die time!

Maybe not that dramatic and he certainly would rather not die over stealing a couple handfuls of jewels, but he was putting a lot on the line for this job. He knew Selina liked having him around, she told him as much, but he still felt like he had a lot to prove. That he needed to show her that it wasn’t a mistake taking him on and that he could be useful to her.

--------- If Stray could just pull this off without...and Robin is here, great, just what he didn't need, were things not falling apart enough without him?

Stray gets caught, Stray gets sad and Robin, well, he's got a soft spot for cats it turns out and decided maybe this cat could use a break.
