Not much to say...

Not much to say, but I'm trying to keep track of my wpd, so....

Oh God, that's so beautiful. Even if I am still on Day 4.

Here, have a sample:

Bart could draw really, really well - and really fast, of course - and Tim could pop out these mathematically precise diagrams and schematics and things in no time, and draw people from descriptions, and even Cassie drew these cute little cartoon things sometimes when she was bored in meetings. All his friends could draw, and they all liked to draw, and until he'd seen what his fellow high school art students had to offer, he'd kind of been wondering about the missing programming thing again, or if his giant freaky hands were just too huge and clumsy to actually make anything but bruises.

But just because she was a good mum doesn't mean she's incredibly aware. My parents know fuck all about my issues but that doesn't make them bad, and it doesn't ruin my childhood. Although Tim is crazier than I am.

That was just because he was crazy obsessed with Dick though! *snerk* Pun totally intended.

Oh, that's terrible, Justine. Truely terrible. I may have to marry you.

Unless there's something you haven't told me, I don't think you were sneaking into worst neighborhoods in the the most dangerous city in the country every night and taking pictures which you then (presumably) developed yourself (I really can't imagine Tim taking those photos to the 1 hour photo place). Cameras, film, darkroom equipment, reactive photo paper and developing chemicals cost a TON (I'm kind of a photo-nut myself). His parents had to be aware they had a budding photographer on their hands, and were probably paying for most of his supplies. You think they'd have been more interested in what he was doing with his time.

I'm pretty sure it's canon that they traveled a lot and usually left him in boarding schools. Tim fights with his dad about it a little, before his second trip to Paris, if I recall. I don't have the comics handy, though.

This is true, Tim sneaking around after vigilants is a bit past being a little bit crazy.

I can't even remember what we were arguing about! *goes back to read comments* oh right, Timmy having a shit childhood. But to me, all the stalking vigilante stuff came when Tim was a bit older. I'm thinking childhood like, 3-10, what was Timmy up to then? Surely he was too young to leave at a boarding school (I know nothing about boarding schools) so maybe he travelled with his parents? I don't even know.

See, I'm a fan of Tim-had-a-shit-home-life, but personally I think that starts when he's a teenager, aside from being a bit absent during his early years, I like to think his parents, especially his mom, were pretty good to him.

Well, the stalking started at 9 right? And he was obsessed before that, or he wouldn't have made the connections.

Eventually I will write the story where Tim's parents do send him to therapy, possibly on the recommendation of a teacher, when he's very little (because the circus was traumatic but Tim really oulght to stop having such awful nightmares about it after two years or so), and Tim eventually figures out what he needs to do and say to not have to go anymore. Maybe his therapist leaves to have a baby, and he convinces his parents he doesn't need a new one. (I managed to do it twice, as a small child and then at 11 - the issues didn't go away, but I convinced everyone they had. If I could do it, Wee Crazy Timmy could do it.

I've been sort of planning my own Tiny Timfinify, like maybe a 5 Tims That Weren't - Blue Beetle Tim, for example, and of course my favorite...The Tim Who Kills Everybody.

Wow 9? I always thought it started at 11/12, but that's my lack of knowledge shownig through.

I would read the hell out of that story, and it really wouldn't surprise me. And augh it would kind of echo how Tommy/Hush was sent to therapy and learnt what to say in order to make people happy. (I image that Wee Crazy Timmy is probably more skilled than you when it comes to fooling peoples)

Your favorite Timmy is the one that kills everybody? WHAT?

They keep changing continuity on us. Dick was 8, 10, 12 when his parents died, and Tim was 3, 6, 7, at the time...but I think they've been pretty conisistant that he was 9 when he put it all together.


My favorite Timmy That Wasn't is the Timmy That Kills Everybody.

Which I may be writing now.

Goddamnit.

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

Oh continuity, never change.

No. Really. Don't. I'm fucking confused.

Ooooh, why does Timmy kill everyone? Does he become Robin and then goes crazy? Or does he never become Robin?

[iesika.livejournal.com]

I was halfway done and lost my work when the computer I was on shut down. >.<

If I recover, you will find out why he Killed Everyone in approximately 12-13 hours.

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

D:

Does that 12-13 hours mean you are going to bed?

[iesika.livejournal.com]

That's when I'll be able to type more than 188 characters at a time. I'm trying to reconstruct on paper. But bed soon, yeah, since I have work in nine hours.

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

Ah playstation, right.

Aww, I haven't even started baking the brownies yet!

[iesika.livejournal.com]

I'll be back before you sleep, and I'll be able to chat some.

[faile-neume.livejournal.com]

Yay! I'll tell you all about my brownie exploits then.

Goodnight <3
