Every. Single. Time. I see Jason calling Tim “kid” in a fic, I die a little inside.
If we go by birth year? it’s literally only a year difference between them, and oh boy, if we go by lived experience? Jason is absolutely, younger than Tim.
Please people, I get you like babying Tim! And WFA! And that’s okay! To each their own and all that, but like, this is getting out of hand. Why do we have so many Jason becoming Tim’s dad fics? (I keep seeing it when that’s not even a theme of the fic??) If you want to do that, Dick is right there???
Plus, the whole POINT, of Tim, is that he’s a perfect slip in for Jason in meta terms, and in canon! A “Better Robin” to fill the role that Jason left behind when he was murdered, it makes SENSE for them to be close in age and looks.
I don’t even like Tim, and I still find it insulting to his character when he’s treated like this ✨abandoned sickly uwu baby that can’t even feed himself✨
