#my dad follows one of our cousins on facebook and apparently he's a redneck living in fucking america i hate this family

[batarangsoundsdumb]

while we're on the topic of projection and racial headcanons, i headcanon tim as the classic "Half Japanese Half White Person With No Sense Of Belonging To Either Culture Because Im Too Asian To Be White, But Too White To Be Asian" because yeah me too

adding on to what i just sent in (half japanese tim), here's some more super specific projection headcanons related to that

he has only been to japan a few times, all of them either strictly business or for a funeral of someone he never met

he doesn't really know any of his japanese relatives and has only really met a small handful of extended family (third cousins, first cousins once removed, etc)

he's never met his grandparents on that side

one of his few bonding moments with his parents as a kid was ordering from sushi places in america run by white people and making fun of how bad it was

he had to go to a speech therapist as a kid because his parents didn't want him to pick up any sort of japanese accent

he has clear memories of going to japanese festivals as a kid but hasnt gone to one in years

his parents make a lot of jokes about their privilege/lack of privilege without actually addressing it

he can karaoke like his life depends on it

the whole "dont talk back to your parents" thing is doubled down with asian culture added

one of those people that gets called white passing but very clearly isnt

has a lot of japanese fairytale/folklore books for kids because thats what he grew up on and they were some of his favorites

idk he's my go-to "YOU ARE ME I AM YOU WE ARE ONE" character so why not just take my childhood yk

projecting onto tim drake is something that can be so personal.

no but also tim's parents talking shit about each and every one of their family members on both sides so tim grew up hearing all about his mom's cousin's daughter's drug addiction but still doesn't know where his grandparents are from.

and tim being paraded around the yearly skype call to a random aunt when his parents remember she's still alive

tim going on a trip to japan with bruce and making fun of bruce not knowing japanese with a bunch of staff at the restaurant only for bruce to turn around and go 'haha bitch you thought' in perfect japanese
