    omg im dyINg halp
    am i to expect tim mentioning the effed up things he's done to his family too? like the bats like "FUCK. is tim a psychopath? i thought it was just his family. is it genetic? he's obviously not murderous... mostly? is this a thing we have to worry about now? did he really stab his uncle at age six? does he need a therapist? what am i talking about of course he needs a therapist, but how do we get him to GO."

    like the batfam realising the "abuse" is mutual and a family past time.
    and tim saying shit like: " no really guys, it's fine. i chopped off- i mean i TRIED to chop off her foot in retaliation, and she put arsenic in my tea. it's FINE. "
    the rest of the bats : "what? tim, are you okay? is your family... okay? do we need to call cps on your family? "

    and: "what do you MEAN that they know our identities..."
    tim: "i mean i didn't tel them... or hint or anything. just, Addamses, you know?"
    batfam: "they figured it out like you did? are you NORMAL for your family?!"

     

    and, of course, Damian getting terrorized/hazed? by the Addams Family (not even intentionally besides Wednesday, they all think the murder attempts are a darling instance of attempted brotherly bonding)

      I have wonderful news for you; Tim has been saying Concerning things for years, and Babs *loves* to study him. They all know there's something *off* about Tim, but he does genuinely care for them and Gotham and he's still Tim, ya know? Dick brushes most of it aside, and Tim has told Bruce straight up that if he pushes Tim on this too much he will *never* see Tim again. obviously Tim hasn't, like, killed anyone or mentioned 'killing' his family or being Not Exactly Mortal or anything before, but he has raised more then a few eyebrows and both Babs and Jason find him sus as FUCK, even when they *do* grow to love him.

      meanwhile, yeah, Tim is Literally Just Vibing and trying *despertely* to keep his two families from meeting. And for the record, The Addams *don't* know the Bat thing, but they know that Tim's new family; tries to kill him sometimes, knows and dislikes Ra's Al Ghul, associate with the JLA, etc etc. They don't know or care much about capes, and trust Tim to take care of himself, so they listen to him when he asks them not to look into it. He trusts them, obviously, but The Bat Thing isn't his secret to tell, and honestly doesn't come up much. The Addams obviously aren't going to find sentences like 'great news; my brother isn't dead anymore, GREATER news; he beat me half to death so he's in pretty good health!' or 'guys I have a little brother and he's the WORST, he cut my grapple line when I was BUSY, you'd thing the league of assassins would teach him not to mix work and play' especially concerning or worth much thought, ya know?

      Damian....baby....poor little darling has NO IDEA what's going on with Timothy at any given moment but he does NOT like it. Tim has FAR too much fun fucking with him lmao don't worry Dami gets him back ofc

      I’m pretty sure that the only therapist Dick suggested to Tim was in Metropolis, which is two hours optimistically (Metropolis is somewhere in Delaware, Gotham being somewhere in New Jersey). I don’t know the reasoning behind this, but I assume that there’s a reason that Dick doesn’t trust anyone closer.
