i think people underestimate how much tims character hinges on jasons storyline. jason lives au means tim just... wouldn't be there. reverse robins au has no reason for tim to show up. tim wouldnt be robin if not for jasons death and he wouldnt be red robin if not for it originally being jasons character. even in reverse robins au's where people make tim the red hood, again stealing jasons character, that's just not right. tim has a very different moral compass and no passion for the things the red hood stands for. tim would not die as the second robin because tim has no reason to do so. (if anything, steph would be the dead second robin, probably at the hands of black mask.) his whole presence in the comics is a direct response to jasons, and anyone who loves tim and hates jason really isnt seeing this. thered be no tim drake without jason todd, but there would be a (most likely happier) jason todd without tim drake
