Tim Drake/Bernard Dowd/Kon-El, also known as Timberkon, is the threesome ship between DC Comics characters Tim Drake, Bernard Dowd, and Kon-El.
Canon
Tim Drake and Bernard Dowd were introduced as friends during the 1990s Robin comics run. Bernard was later reintroduced into comics after a long absence and they began dating in 2021.
Tim and Kon-El have a long, close relationship throughout comics. They were founding members of Young Justice and members of the 2003 iteration of the Teen Titans.
Bernard and Kon-El do not have much of a relationship in comics, if any.
Fandom
The Timberkon ship is in large part a product of the canonization of Tim Drake/Bernard Dowd. Before Tim's bisexuality and new relationship was canonized one of the most prominent ships for him was Kon-El/Tim Drake. While many fans started shipping Tim and Bernard in their own right, other fans still preferred or remained fond of Kon and Tim. A number of fans continued shipping their preferred pairing with the occasional off-screen break-up (either) or unrequited love (Tim/Kon). However, some transitioned to shipping all three together.
“timber is better” “timkon is superior” STFU!! TIM MAY BE MISSING A SPLEEN BUT HE HAS TWO PERFECTLY FINE HANDS!!!!!!!
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Fluff - very common in fanworks
- Established Tim/Bernard - Tim and Bernard often start dating first and later add Kon to their relationship.
- Bernard as Relationship Instigator - In fanworks Bernard is often the person to suggest polyamory and/or including Kon. Some fans also depict him as being the one to identify Tim/Kons' latent or unrecognized feelings for each other.
