#Timbern

[nicomoon69]

I have a silly hc that Bernard is actually a brunet but decided at like 14 he wanted to be blond (lord knows why) so he’s been dying his since then. except he’s a mega freak so the moment the roots are even the slightest bit visible he’ll do a touch up and also purposely keeps the fact that he’s a brunet from people

this also means that even well into their relationship Tim never finds out Bernard is a brunet bc 1. no roots visible ever 2. there’s no kid pics of Bernard due to his parents 3. Bernard has no friends that know so they can’t snitch on him and 4. Bernard has zero intentions of revealing himself (for now)

the only time Tim came close to knowing was that time in td:r when Bernard fucked up while bleaching and went white. the only reason Tim didn’t put the pieces together is bc Bernard had been talking about experimenting with his hair, so Tim just assumed he meant dying his hair

#eventually Tim does ofc find out #he’d be so shocked and go tell his family #only for Cass to say that she already knew #timber #timbern #bernard dowd #tim drake #dc #dcu #dc comics #red robin #td:r #tim drake robin #dc hc #dc headcanon #my brain

this came to me in a vision

[ID: A screenshot of a Twitter (X) reply chain. Red Robin (@/spleenless) writes, "Where there's a screen.........." Under his caption is a picture of the Batcomputer, which has the Ao3 homepage pulled up. He is not logged onto his account, if he has one. Someone with the user "Gregg rulz ok" (@/nitwenjoyer0) replies, "Ao3 on the batcomputer is insane" with four crying emojis after. Both tweets were posted on April 27.]

"Benny Dow" being Bernard, ofc.

let’s flip it around, the entire batfamily is sure that this bernard fellow is just a fake friend tim made up and have all these theories about the ‘cryptid boyfriend’

like even barbara has to search the internet to 100% make sure tim didn’t fake the accounts, she of course doesn’t share this fact, watching her pseudo family debate and place bets that will all inevitably fail

Let Bernard in the BatKitchen™️

With the fact that he is a normie that dated his way into superhero identity top secrets, he knows too much to keep a low-profile. I see it inevitable that he gets dragged in the deal (either by being kidnapped weekly like he is now or by being a z tier hero or something) or get thrown out of it entirely.

Or he could, you know, make lunch boxes. Run the tests in the microwave. Be the lab (kitchen) guy that puts antidotes into bat shaped cookies. Do what he loves and put his degree(s?) to use. Run the computers and understand what batweebs wrote in the code when needed.

His own version of the guy behind the cape who makes everything stand together. Kind of like an Alfred or Oracle or Moneyspider or Dr. Leslie or Commish Gordon or... you get it. (In a perfect world i'd prefer him to be mentored by Alfred Pennyworth, but alas, he might be a little dead atm)

But I dont want him to lose his wits, his sarcasm, his high energy attitude while doing this stuff. He should still be able to jokingly threaten Tim if anything goes wrong, do the vibe checks, wear those sunglasses again, idk, anything interesting. He should be his own person. (And not what Fitzmartin made him into whaaa td:r slander? )

#bernard dowd go make me a sandwich >:[ #yes i said 'an alfred' as a noun because its a proper profession to be him #and Alfred Pennyworth is the only one that can do justice to the duty of being one #bernard dowd #tim drake: robin #td:r #tim drake #robin 93 #alfred pennyworth #robin #timbern

I ping pong between the idea of Bernard being completely and utterly done when a villain enacts their evil scheme near/at his college thinking they’re a general nuisance and him purposely drawing them there so he can see Tim more often

#he does both probably #the duality of man #he just hears a villian is there and he sighs deeply ‘great just like more time spent in this hell whole is needed’ #‘​but yk on the brightside i get to see hot bf fighting’ << something bernard has definitely said more then once #bernard dowd #timbern #dc

one of those tiktok gotham university reporters approaching bernard on the way to one of his bio classes: thoughts on red robin?

bernard, mildly sleep deprived, and knowing full well what tim’s night life is like: smash [proceeds to walk away like nothing happened]

Dick in Gotham handling a hostage situation at a local university. Some villain crashed a party in the student apartments and has the whole building locked down. Dick is in there with Damian, and they finally make it to the floor where the bad guy is and they’re having this big tense stand off before the final fight…

and then one of the college students who this guy had huddled in the corner grabs a chair and just fucking clocks this guy. He hits him over the head so hard that the chair breaks and the guy COLLAPSES. Dick is like . Oh??

And then the student turns around (with a truly unhinged glint in his eye) and Dick recognizes him and realizes OH . Oh this is Tim’s boyfriend. That’s the crazy guy who recruited us to go beat up cultists with him. Yeah we didn’t even need to come he had that handled actually

Tim, at 13, staring at Batman in his downward spiral era: ✨I can fix him✨

Bruce, running his plan for an undercover operation past the batkids chillin in the living room while post-‘knowing secret identities’ Bernard is there: -and then we will hustle the information out during pool, start stakes low and give them a false sense of security before winning

Bruce: obviously Tim will do that part

Bernard: Tim sucks at pool tho? He can barely make any in and, hell, I made it into culinary school with how many times I was sent to the kitchen to shoot after he hit the cue ball in

Dick: Tim? Our Tim? The one who wins every time? Who was the cause of the rule in the mansion against us ever playing pool

Damien: such a baby, gets stabbed one too many times by sore losers and just has to ruin it for the rest of us

Duke: Tim has hustled all of us outta so much money that at this point it is a part time job for him

Bernard: ??? Tim never wins against me?

All turning to Tim:

Tim, face completely red: he- he always gets so excited when he is winning and he just looks so cute- and his trash talk is basically just flirty banter- and it’s not my fault when he looks like THAT

Tim, shrugging: he just has an unfair advantage over the rest of you, like maybe if any of you were attractive you would start winning pool more too

Jason: and he wonders why he’s been stabbed so many times

#idk whether Tim is purposely losing to Bernard or just getting too flustered he fumbles every time #either way the bat kids are pissed #Tim was so bad bernard honestly has a hard time believing the batkids until they start showing him the videos of Tim doing amazing shots #batfam #batkids #tim drake #bat family #incorrect batfamily quotes #bernard dowd #timber #timbern #bi tim drake #tim drake headcanon #incorrect batfam quotes

Duke, new to the family, awkwardly entering the kitchen where various members of the Waynes are hanging out/baking/drooling over the baking: Uh… random question, is Tim dating someone?

Steph, all her training focused on stealing baked goods: oh yeah he’s got a boyfriend, why?

Duke, just wanted a book, utterly disgusted: I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t outing him if I told you he’s currently defiling the library.

Jason, slamming down a bowl of brownie batter: he’s fucking WHAT-
