Further Proof that the Internets have Everything

[ladymirth]

I just found a fanfic where Tim Drake and Jason Todd travel through small town America in a 1967 Chevy Impala, listening to classic rock cassettes, eating greasy fast food, and sleeping in cheap motels while they hunt down and kill criminals. 

I'm not making this shit up. Flip to page 484. 

Jesus. *is awestruck at some people's brains*

A 69' Chevy? Well, that's original!

I meant a 1967 Chevy. *facepalm* Although ow I'm not quite sure that was actually mentined in the fic.

And now I wish I could edit the above comment. Because even though I don't have an icon for this occasion, Little Timmy shouldn't have to see this. Even if I did put a silly hat on him and claim him for my own.

Is that Timmy?! I never made the connection till now!

Hee! A fellow Timmyfan!

That's a picture of Tim from the end of Batman: Prodigal. I wanted something bat-related, but happy.

Timmy the muse is something else entirely. He's actually more Lassie-related. The little adventurous boy... who is constantly falling down a well or something. Little Timmy needed to be rescued pretty much weekly, and yet it never stopped the poor fool from going out into the wide world and messing with things probably best left alone.

But he's also related to Timmy, the lab assistant from the Mr. Lizard show-within-a-show on Disney's Dinosaurs. Every episode, Mr. Lizard (a take-off on Mr. Wizard, but I'm not sure that show made it to your neck of the woods) would do a science demonstration. He'd set things up, go hide behind a heavily reinforced wall, and then have his assistant Timmy do the final step. There'd be a huge bang, and Mr. Lizard would cheerfully call out, "We're going to need another Timmy!"

Tim Drake... I like him well enough. Actually, come to think, he's probably my favorite Robin. Even if I do like Dick Greyson, too. But I hated the transition from Batman: The Animated Series to The New Batman Adventures. Art suddenly sucked, plots were suddenly very generic. And 20ish Dick was suddenly replaced with 9-year-old-looking Tim, whom I mentally tagged as "Little Timmy" (with Lassie in mind).
