You tell him, Jason.
Can someone genuinely answer this ever lingering question as to why DC has such beef with Jason Todd?
They butcher his character and relationships, and for what? There’s so much fucking POTENTIAL not only with his character but with his story! There’s a way to actually write discourse in a relationship without making it so damn abusive. Maybe I’m missing something in the story or just in general, but it’s just so fucking irritating when it could be good.
You have a nice, good boy who only wants to help despite given the short hand in life who is then given a loving father who just so happens to be Batman. That boy is then murdered by Batman’s biggest enemy (don’t even get me started on the fucking Joker who essentially has become idolized in the worst ways by DC writers and directors) still trying to do the right thing despite being fucked over by the very person he so desperately wanted love from. Then, you have that same boy who’s just a little bit older, hurting and angry— acting out in every way he can against the man who loves him but couldn’t see past his own weaknesses. And what do DC writers do instead of making this complicated, intriguing and character growing relationship into something that’s not as fucking dumb and slightly out of character for Batman? They fuck him up.
It’s an extreme to say this, I know. And this isn’t against all DC writers, but you can’t deny a lie when it’s a pattern. It’s a cut and dry story that practically writes itself. You have a little boy who is so full of hope is growing along with the main character of the story (which, in my own personal opinion, Batman has Robin not as a soldiers—and omfg does that damn phrase make me violent—but as a potential, mutual factor of character growth) , who then gets a bit too cocky and distracted by his own hubris and need for love, to a hurt antagonist that goes against the man who he once called father. Like it’s too easy to not fuck this up, and yet DC seems to manages to do this every single time.
It’s almost like they want to portray Batman and Bruce Wayne as a man who is made “tougher” by his trauma (which has some patriarchal undertones if you catch my drift) instead of growing. Batman can grow. He can love. There’s one post that I’ve seen on Tumblr how Batman/Bruce does this whole vigilante thing out of love.
Which is why I don’t get why DC uses Bruce as a tool to hurt Jason when it isn’t really consistent. He loved Jason, and this is backed up by a lot of older and a few current issues. Don’t get me wrong, I get that their relationship post-UTRH is gonna be FUCKED. Yet, even the writing in that I can’t really agree with. KILLING (attempting to kill really) your son who had been dead for years, that you loved so much, and is acting out because YOU? Doesn’t make much sense, but, again, maybe I’m looking at this through a foggy lens.
This wasn’t meant to be a long post, but it’s just been on my mind and perhaps I could use another perspective. So, again, what’s DC’s deal with Jason and Bruce’s relationship, and Jason’s character as a whole?
sorry i just wanted to call batman funny names
Gotham War is really playing out like God’s plan, ain’t it now
Task Force Z #4 (2022)
thinking about dick grayson who used to braid his mom’s hair before their shows
thinking about him growing his hair out, and doing those same braids before going out as nightwing
thinking about him asking anyone with long enough hair if he can braid it, about him doing the same braids his father used to do for his mother on kori and babs
one day he finds steph crying in the batcave and takes her into the manor. he sits her down in front of the couch and sits behind her and tells her to put on a movie. then he starts to brush her hair and braid it
it’s his love language, it’s just unfortunate the rest of his siblings have short hair.
when tim grows his hair out (which definitely didn’t have anything to do with this haha…) dick is so happy and braids his hair any time he sees him
when he was younger and bruce sometimes took him to JL meetings, he’d ask diana if he could braid it (she always said yes ofc) and sometimes he’d ask arthur who was so honored every time
bruce, glaring at arthur as 11 y/o dick braids his hair because he is Jealous and now seriously considering growing his hair out: Hn
Hiii hope you are having a great day 💜 Can i request ak!Jason just being happy, please? I just want my bb yo be happy for once 😭 Love your art, it has such a calm vibe 💜
Two witches are forced to cohabitate in order to raise the baby promised to both of them.
This comic was based on this post. (You can also see my old version on the link if you wanna see how far it's come.)
If you feel very generous and had a nice time you can drop me a Ko-fi. Comics are a labor of love and money really helps out while I'm in school!
a few things that will now cause Jason extreme fear:
exercise
fear
loud noises
bright lights
fear
high temperatures
threats
low temperatures
being excited
sex
anxiety
stress
F E A R
and here's a fun fact: adrenaline actually causes the memory-making bits of your brain to be stronger, which means you have a clearer memory of exactly what happened to make you afraid
comic science 😮💨
bruh if Jason feels fear when his adrenaline spikes he should get caught in a loop because FEAR SPIKES YOUR ADRENALINE. you release adrenaline when you feel fear...bc its a stress hromone
Are they gonna somehow make it so it's only when he feels like vigilanting bc that's so goofy like okay.jpeg
If no one has made this yet, here ya go:
Cass seeing angry bby Bruce and immediately clocking that as Batman is the best identity reveal IMO. Batman’s body language being the same as when he initially swore vengeance is just so real and so right.
Panels from Batgirl (2000).
AND ANOTHER THING
jasons made a LOT of enemies, right? what happens when someone finds him, with intent to kill Or Worse and he can't Do anthing about it????? huh, Bruce? What now Bruce? You fucked up excuse for a deadbeat dad
Ignore Gotham war mess go read DC's Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun #1 we got Dick and Jason team up

Asexual Jason Todd is actually the secret weapon of Batman.
Let me explain.
Every major female foes of the Bat used their sex appeal at one moment to distract the police, Arkham guards...
But, imagine Ivy increasing again and again and again the power of her pollen and Red Hood does not react. Maybe sneezing.
Circea trying to play whith his mind and
"Wtf are you doing ? Stop moving your hands like that."
Every teen heros getting caught lurking on Kori or Power Girl and he doesn't understand why those idiots can't start the meeting. Wtf does "My eyes are here" even mean.
Evil foreigner billionaire sending a spy to seduce the oldest boy in the family still in Gotham to steal informations on WayneTech and after a party of dancing and talking, with innuendos bigger than his arms, the dude takes back the girl in his plaza room to be sure she's safe and fall asleep on the floor.
Meanwhile the spy doesn't know if she lost her talents of if Jason has a really strong mind.
If Jason was Batman from the start, first encounter with catwoman, take 1 :
"What arrre you going to do, arrrest me ?
- Yes.
- Wait, what ?"
Jason going to college and always being invited to girls night when they're going to bars or nightclubs because they have a 6'6 werewolf with them to dissuaded the other guys and they feel secure because they can't recall one time he tried something that made them uncomfortable, or just something in fact.
Never hit on a girl, loves litterature, takes great care of his body...Jason Todd is the only gothamite unaware he's a gay icone.
DC PAY FOR MY FUCKING Therspy bill istg
Batman #138
Just kill me now. Throw me into the sun. Rip out my insides. Any of that would be less painful than this panel. I want to die. I want to hug a huge murder man. I want to cry. I want Dick to show up and hug this huge murder man. Someone save him. Someone help him. THIS IS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE.
My baby 😭

I noticed that there seems to be three flags for demi-aroace (That I've seen) so now I'm curious, which flag do you use/do you think should be used?
This is the one I use/like best, and it's just a mix of demisexual and demiromantic.
This one, which is the demi triangle with the asexual and aromantic colors (or something I'm not sure)
Or this one? The Demi triangle on the AroAce flag?
also please tell me if there's more I missed!
I like the theory Ambrosius chose the sword and wrote a B on the G for Ballister.💓💓
I was inspired by a fic in AO3. But it's been so long that I've forgotten the title 🥹 really Sorry

Don’t mind me I’m just ill thinking about Dick getting so protective of Jason he started beating the shit out of someone with his bare hands until Tim has to pull him off.
