Jason is the cat who caught the canary and got the cream, with how everyone calls Tim Red's Robin.
Tim is three seconds from giving Jason a matching spleenectomy scar and calling it a "friendship" charm.
The Gothamites are just nodding. Red Hood has a Bat symbol? Okay. He has a Robin?...alright. What's next? A Red Hood signal to flash in the sky on top of Wayne Enterprises? Who knows. Maybe. He's clearly serious about being the new, better Batman. Good for him.
Jason's neighbor (old lady, barely hanging onto life) calls Tim Jason's "same sex partner" ans when Tim vehemently denies such a thing, she assures them that she and her gal pal Meredith were also roommates, so don't even worry about it because she's an ally.
lesbian and gay men solidarity! XD we love old queers who can clock on fast !! cool grandma <33 tim knows he's bi (subconsciously or not) but liking jason of all people he a whole other separate topic.
imagine bruce somehow pairing them up in patrol more often than not. tim's eye is twitching and jason has a smug shit eating grin under that muzzle/helmet. tim hates it, as he's very vocal about, and what he hates even more is just how seemless their team work is that yep, he is red's robin.
as much as it's tempting to sabotage jason, he knows his priorities. it proves jason's point of him being a good partner, not that he needs his input. he knows he's a great robin. just. not. jason's.
random kid that tim saves: thanks red's! C:
tim, sighing: please.. it's just red. for red robin. tell other's too.... please.
kid: but red is red hood?
tim, burying himself on his palms: (muffled scream)
the gothamites lovingly call them the Red Bats, as opposed to the big Bats. they're not wrong either and tim can't do shit about that!!
this is the equivalent of your irls shipping you with that one guy you swear you don't like in any capacity and somehow fucking working bc they're all wingmaning said guy to you, but more elaborately: the entire gotham city
