What started off as a random urge to join the discord call led up to a quiz off, which Tim thought was ridiculous because of several reasons. One was that he was having a quiz off with someone who had beef with him which he thought was ridiculous on its own and two, the quiz was about him. Well more specifically Robin but still it was about him but people didn’t know that.
The person who had beef against him or beefy as he liked to call him, had beef with him cause Tim said he was the biggest Robin fan and Beefy disagreed with him. Hence why the two were in a discord call along with a moderator and a couple dozen of spectators watching this ‘Tim Off’.
It wasn’t looking good at all from the start since almost everyone in chat was rooting for Beefy. Save for like one or two people. His mod said it was because ‘everyone liked Beefy more and that he was on the server more than him’. Which made sense since between being a vigilante and pretending to be a normal rich boy that didn’t leave him much time to meddle with a bunch of people on a discord server.
‘Tim’s beefer bouta run bars.’
‘He’s cooked bro.’
‘Bout to have a showdown.’
‘Ur screwed man.’
Yeah the messages passing through chat made him realize that almost no one was on his side, save himself and few others.
So the way it works was they would take turns for who gets to answer the question first, this round Tim, the next Beefy and if the other couldn’t answer it the opponent has a chance to answer it for himself and earn a point. First to 8 wins. The questions and fact checks would come from the chat themselves while the mods would do the reading of the questions.
The first question came: ‘ Who did Robin first appear with? Batman or Nightwing?’
“Batman duhhh.” Fairly simple question so of course he got it right. I mean it’s about himself so how could he get it wrong?
Next question; ‘ What was Robin’s favourite drink?’
Tim paused. He actually paused to think about it. Of course he knew what kind of drink is his favourite but over the course of years of course it was going to change some way or another. The general public didn’t know that. There probably was that one specific drink that he liked once upon a time that was still being associated with him, but what? Thankfully for him it wasn’t his turn cause then it would be embarrassing. He wouldn’t live it down himself.
“Zesti Cola. That’s actually where all the caffeine obsession started of him being depicted with coffee.” Beefy rattled off.
While waiting for chat to give them another question for their ‘Robin off’, Beefy started some small talk.
“You know when you said we were going to determine which one of us is the best Robin fan , I thought we were going to show off our skills not like an actual quiz.”
“Oh? And what would that be?” Tim questioned.
“I actually do photography. Like I have a whole camera and all that.” Beefy babbled off more about his photography hobby.
“Oh that’s cool. I can do a backflip.”
“That I can’t do.”
“Okay we got another question.” The mod announced. “When was Robin's first appearance with Batman? Not the previous two, this one specifically.”
“1969?” Tim answered nervously. Was that right? He didn’t exactly keep track of it properly.
“August 1989.” Beefy corrected.
‘COOK HIMMM’
‘WRAP IT UP’
*insert a meme of Tim’s face in a wrap with the caption as dawrap.* Why are they posting memes of me? Was Tim’s thought.
Next question; ‘who has the higher IQ, Robin or Batman, and if u know Robin’s IQ it’s a bonus point.’
“Robin.” Tim answered.
“And his IQ?” The mod question.
“216?”
“Guys fact check him.”
‘No, 142.’
“I was close.” Tim said with all the confidence he had.
‘216😭😭’
‘Bro 216 is a wild iq.’
‘Yeah close…. Uh huh…’
216…. Yeah bro this cannot be our robin’
‘BEEFY FOR ROBIN NOW!!!’
“Tim the chat’s roasting you about you being a robin fan. Are you going to take this standing down?!”
“I- What was the score again?” He just brushed it off without much thought.
It went back and forth like that for a couple of rounds, filling the waiting time for chat to give questions with small talk.
“Tim, why did you have an empty water bottle in your room while you were having a live?Like you could’ve just got up and threw it.”
“Oh so I can fiddle around with it.”
‘Tim tryna aura farm✌️✌️’
‘“For the aesthetic” empty water bottle.😭😭’
‘Ts guy😭😭aura farmer.’
That was the entirety of the discord call until the score was 5-7 with Tim somehow losing, Beefy was leading in all his glorious nerd talk. It was unfathomable and he didn’t want to lose so he did the next best course of action.
“Hey guys I got to go. It’s 3am and I have to get up early so see you later.”
A bunch of bye messages filled the chat as he logged off sighing to himself. It’s not like he needed the sleep but just a quick getaway. If you asked him about this he definitely would not confess to it.
