timkon animatic! i posted it over on tiktok and if iām tryna cross post more then i figure this is a good place to start.
this is my first ever animatic, and even though itās short and a little wonky at times, Iām actually pretty happy with it and my inner child that always wanted to make one is overjoyed. not bad for a mostly retired artist, Iād say, though my carpal tunnel certainly isnāt thanking me lol
the post on tiktok if you want to support me there!

i donāt usually post edits on tumblr but i like this one so iāll try it again. reminder that if you donāt wanna see slander of your fave(s), mind the warning
long ass rant about the comic where the last two panels of the intro are from below the break
So in the last panels in the intro Kon obv isnāt actually being portrayed as jealous, I just thought the expressions there were⦠hm⦠But anyways, the real context is that they were in a fake world that was emulating an āidealizedā version of their past, and in it the fake Batman makes a comment about how Tim and Steph are gonna end up together and how this thing with Bernard was a āphaseā and Tim was obviously like wtf who are you and what have you done with Bruce and this is part of how he and the others trapped in this fake world figured out that it was a fake version of everything made up by some guy that if you donāt know then I canāt explain to you. Just know that he had a specific idea in mind of how life was supposed to be.
Anyways, Kon in particular was having a fun time being in the āidealizedā past where everything was simple etc and Tim was almost into it too (Bart, the last one there with them, was kind of the sane one from the start going like guys wtf we need to go home) but over time Tim was like āno actually this isnāt good we need to giftā and Kon was the last one to accept it. This moment, in reality, is Kon seeing the parts of the future (Bernard wasnāt actually there it was a little illusion thing of all the future stuff that the guy behind this wasnāt a fan of and wanted to avoid by sticking the trio in this fake world) that his friend actually really loved and realizing that they canāt go back to how it used to be because the real present may be different but different isnāt ALL bad. Itās a whole thing.
The full comic is pretty mid and the art is rough at times, but it did give us that moment and also some other Timkon sillies where they kept ranting to each other about how important they are to each other and how much Konās death and their separation was so life ruining etc etc and then Bart jumps in and goes āOH MY GOD GUYS STFU I DIED TOO KONāS NOT SPECIAL CAN YOU STOP BEING SO OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER.ā Ngl Bart was going thru it in this one, I wish him the best and I am so sorry he had to put up with these two. Wait lemme go find the direct quote I swear I am not making this shit up. Okay hereās some direct quotes from Bart actually tearing them up: āOHMYGODENOUGHALREADY! You BOTH keep talking about Superboyās death like it was this big TRAUMATIC event. He isnāt the only one who died!ā [here he talks about some of his own personal stuff like how they donāt take him seriously etc] āYou guys donāt care about anyone but each other.ā Yeah so anyways Bart of all people had the braincell in this one.
There are too many quotes of Timkon waxing poetic about each other so I wonāt put them here, but know there are SO SO MANY. This is all from Young Justice: Dark Crisis (2023), highlighting mostly issue 5 I think. Reemphasizing that this is a pretty awful comic (hamfisted meta bullshit, weird pacing, weird treatment of POC characters, twisting fan complaints to shoot them down all preachy-like, characters acting like props, misrepresenting stuff from the actual yj98 series with āitās all fakeā as a weak excuse, etc) so like the Timkon is fun but not sure if youād wanna suffer through the rest of it like I did.
do ppl actually post edits on tumblr? is this a Thing? well if it is, hereās some superbat. ignore that the second half is off time for my own sanity pls and ty

this isnāt explicitly romantic but⦠come on. wdym a future ver of timās last thing he wanted to tell his younger self was to apologize to conner because of āhow much he matters to usā??? that name TUGS on timās HEART even tho he doesnāt even remember him??? even tho conner shouldnāt even exist in this timeline????? bro.
also imagine if there had been an arc of tim trying to Find conner like in brucequest. thatās the ultimate detective mystery; finding someone who no longer existsā¦
this is one of my edits of them that could also be platonic. iām always blown away by how Soft they are with each other when it comes down to it. me and adventure comics (2009) #3 vs the world. underwhelming reunion that i ultimately canāt help but cradle softly in my hands. to copy and paste a comment i left responding to someone on tiktok:
tim was the first person kon told about the list both because he knew tim needed the connection (as did he) and because he knew he could trust tim with his struggle. timās trust in many people had been tested or broken recently, and he told kon what he believed because so few at that point trusted him at his word on it. it was, in a sense, both a test and a call for affirmation. kon, of course, delivered. konās āi believe youā, and timās unspoken but always assumed āi believe IN youā.
me when iām in a yearning competition and my name is tim drakeā¦ šØš¶āāļøāā”ļøor hell itās harder to see but iād throw my hands up if it were kon too. heās been yearning too and boy doesnāt even know it
