anyway the actual point of fandom is to inspire each other. reading each other's fics and admiring each other's art and saying wow i love this and i feel something and i want to invoke this in other people, i want to write a sentence that feels like a meteor shower, i want to paint a kiss with such tenderness it makes you ache, i want to create something that someone else somewhere will see it and think oh, i need to do that too, right now. i am embracing being a corny cunt on main to say inspiring each other is one of the things humanity is best at and one of the things fandom is built for and i think that's beautiful

Batman: I don’t kill. It’s wrong.

Batman three minutes later putting on spiked brass knuckles: anyway did I ever tell you about how Superman is a much better person than me?

Addition to the language post and fic: Bruce is a paranoid bastard, so all of his kids learn Kryptonian fluently (for multiple reasons).

Reasons other batkids are in Jason’s apartment

Jason: “Did you… is that… Did you eat the ENTIRE THING?”

Dick: “In my defense Alfred has been gone a week.”

—————

Jason: “Why did you need my help with this again?”

Damian: “Grayson would insist on retaining photographic evidence, Gordon would take too long, Cain and Brown are not in the country, and Drake is an idiot.”

Jason: “You do realize Tim is like, a genius, right?”

Damian: “Tt. Debatable, seeing how Drake failed to complete high school.”

Jason: “Right… You know when you said you needed help I thought you meant with hiding a body or something, not…” *gestures vaguely to Damian’s unfinished science diorama*

—————

Steph: “Ugh. Why is this so hard? It’s not like this is even the first gala I’ve been dragged to.”

Jason: “Why do I need to pick?”

Steph: “Apprently I need to ‘expand my color palette’ or something.”

Jason: “Doesn’t really explain why me.”

Steph: *sighs* “Have you SEEN what Dick and Tim consider acceptable clothing choices?”

Jason: *cringes*

Steph: “Damian is an obvious no seeing as I’m not actually a masochist, And Cass is out of town.”

Jason: “Why am I always second to Cass?”

Steph: “EVERYONE is second to Cass.”

Jason: “Fair. What about Babs?”

Steph: “Just shut up and help me pick a dress, boy zombie.”

Jason: “Whatever, Blondie.”

—————

(Cass, dropping off half a dozen nerf guns)

Jason:

Cass: “They’re being annoying.”

Jason: “Oh hell yeah.”

—————

Tim: “I need help hiding a body.”

Jason:

Tim:

Jason:

Tim:

Jason: “YOU?”

Tim: “What? I didn’t kill him.”

Jason: “Somehow that is so much worse.”

Tim: “Oh, don’t worry, he’s dead.”

Jason:

Tim: “I just need to hide it somewhere for a few weeks.”

Jason:

Tim:

Jason: “Yeah, okay.”

(Three weeks later)

Jason: *watching a video feed of an increasingly paranoid Lex Luthor*

Jason:

Jason: “I don’t even want to know.”

—————

Babs: “I need your help finding a body.”

Jason:

Jason:

Jason: *mentally cursing Tim*

(Bonus)

Bruce:

Jason:

Bruce:

Jason: “Why?”

Bruce: *breaking down* “I can’t take it anymore.”

Jason: “How is this my problem?”

Bruce: “They just won’t STOP.”

Jason: “You do realize you chose to have this many kids, right?”

Bruce: “Where did they even GET Green Lantern themed batarangs?”

Jason:

Jason:

Jason: “Fine. You can take the couch.”

I've read a bunch of fics, especially some crossovers, where Red Hood is or was on the FBI's most wanted list. A couple where he's on like the CIA's or Interpol's or something. But do you know what I'd find hilarious?

He's on absolutely none of them.

A big fanon thing, and sometimes canon (looking at you, No Man's Land), is that the federal government just kind of... doesn't get involved in Gotham? It's just left to it's own devices.

So combine that with both Gothamites-hate-outsiders and the idea that there are so many more/worse people to deal with than the crime boss who's somehow been bringing crime down, and, well. Sure, they have a file on the guy, but it's bare bones and nowhere near the top priority list.

Even funnier is if this is pre-reveal, so Batman doesn't know it's Jason that's running around taking over crime and whatever, he's just busy trying to find out who this guy who put a bunch of heads in a duffel bag is. He makes some small comment about it at some JL meeting and everyone is like, whomst?

Like sure, people outside of Gotham who do hear about Red Hood are horrified, but also it's... normal? Isn't that normal for Gotham? They all hear so many crazy stories coming out of Gotham that who knows what's exaggerated or not, but that's not even... that weird? Like, gory, sure, but... it's Gotham.

Just every outsider's views of Gotham being so skewed and/or biased that hardly anyone blinks an eye at some rising crime boss in the most crime-ridden city on the planet.

I'm a Jason Todd defender till I die. If he has 100 fans I'm one, if he has 10 I'm one, if he has one it's me, and if he has zero IM FUCKING DEAD.

STARFIRE By Lukas Werneck

The thing that causes mainline canon Jason and Arkham Knight Jason to go off the rails and turn against Bruce is fundamentally the same: the belief that he has been abandoned. For Arkham knight Jason this is pretty explicit because the story is that he has literally been convinced that Bruce stopped looking for him and left him to die. In the case of mainline canon Jason it’s a bit more obscure, because the “abandonment” in this case isn’t literal, it’s more of a “by not avenging me you’ve forsaken me in your heart” sort of thing, but the core emotion is still the same. The sense of being discarded and not loved enough is the same. It’s abandonment issues all the way down baby

Words can’t describe how fucking weird I think dick grayson should be.

How overwhelmingly intense I want him to be in normal meetings with authority figures because he’s been talking with police officers and FBI agents since he was 10 and is now somewhat incapable of turning off that switch when he walks into conference rooms and shit.

Like he needs to be the most intense mf in the dmv line.

He is physically incapable of not making unblinking eye contact with people in suits

When he walks into a conference room he has to restrain himself from sitting at the head of the table (titans team leader) or the chair to the right of the head (Batman’s partner).

His teachers were weirdly charmed when an eleven year old dick immediately went from laughing hellion to tiny “business man” when they asked to speak to him after class (more like tiny crime fighter used to giving Batman debriefs but they don’t need to know that)
