"You corn-fed... Don't you... How..."

Only Clark can make Bruce stutter like that.

I need the comic book fanfic writers to be made very aware of something:

Roy Harper is the only one to EVER call Jason Todd "Jaybird".

This isn't a family name that he picked up on, or that Roy made and the family has adopted. Roy is literally the only person to call him that. Dick doesn't, Babs doesn't, Bruce doesn't, nobody but Roy does.

The others call him Jay sometimes, in old comics Jace was said a few times (which I actually like and wish people would use literally at all). Bruce has said "Jay, lad" like once and fandom adopted him calling Jason "Jaylad" but that's not horribly egregious so I tolerate it. Dick occasionally calls Jason "little wing". That's about it.

Jaybird is very specifically a Roy Harper thing.

(Honestly yall better appreciate me actually looking back in RHATO 2011 because BOY do I hate this comic. It's not only poorly written, but in my opinion, ugly as fucking sin and I need to burn my retinas now)

That is the first instance of Jason ever being called "Jaybird", and it becomes a lowkey running gag that Roy calls him that and Jason "hates" it.

And then we get this post Heroes In Crisis

This whole thing may have been poorly written because, again, Scott Lobdell sucks, but the intent is to evoke intimacy to make Roy's death hurt. Jason is supposed to have just lost his best friend and was told by Bruce Wayne whose last appearance in his life was beating the shit out of him and, oh yeah, who saved Jason? Roy Fucking Harper.

In addition to the fact that Roy only left Jason to get help for himself. He was supposed to be in rehab/therapy, somewhere safe, and he fucking died because of handwavy Speedforce shenanigans or whatever it's been retconned to now because nobody liked Heroes in Crisis. Roy was supposed to be getting better and he died ostensibly in an accident. Like if that's not the worst fucking bullshit--

This scene of Jason calling himself by what he deems a stupid nickname would mean jack shit if everyone and their goddamn cat called him "Jaybird". But it being a Roy-specific thing makes this scene distinctly about Jason being vulnerable and actively grieving. It's such a cliche trope, and a real coping mechanism, to call a deceased loved one's phone just to hear their voice in their inbox message again. He probably has no thoughts that Roy will ever hear it so this is just for him, but he's letting himself accept this dumb nickname Roy gave him now because it was Roy that gave it to him and Roy is fucking dead.

Like, in fairness it probably frustrates me more because I ship the two and parallel it with Oliver calling Dinah "pretty bird", but like...even as just a cheeky friend nickname, nothing romantic behind it, having everyone else call Jason that feels wrong. Especially his family who he still has so many issues with and, like it or not, he's closer to Roy than literally any of the Bats at this point.

This isn't the only time I've seen the fandom do this (this being giving nicknames between characters that just don't exist); Jason calling Tim "replacement" is absolutely rampant in the fandom and I hate that too because he never calls Tim that, and refers to him as such like once. I have a whole list of actual nicknames and insults these motherfuckers call each other somewhere, but maybe another time.

In short

STOP HAVING EVERYONE CALL HIM JAYBIRD.

Thank you and have a nice day. <3

If a definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results...

Therapy can't help Bruce Wayne because he is determined to follow this path. He trusts no one but himself and he trains Robins because they're the only people he can trust (only partly because they're the people he can control.)

Below is another panel from Heroes in Crisis. Near the start of the storyline he promised Diana and Clark that therapy is helping and he trusts them. Crucially, he promises that he no longer carries Kryptonite "just in case." Then he's lassoed by the Lasso of Truth and:

He can't trust even Superman or Wonder Woman. He will do a good job of seeming to change but he can't. The needs of the comic book form have trapped him forever and any moment of happiness he gets is transitory. At best a warm memory at worst foreshadowing of even worse loss. He's a tragic hero and he's worse than a tragic hero because he can't rest even in death.

I don't care if people didn't find this realistic. This was EVERYTHING for me: satisfying and emotional. They all need consistent therapy, with a comic detailing it once a year--hopefully a comic that's not self-contained.

So, just read "Heroes in Crisis" for the first time, and wow, I'm fine. Everything's fine. Trauma is fine. I'm fine.

An unimportant detail (to the grand plot) that stood out to me was the way the Robins all talked to Sanctuary. Every. Single. one of them. They all define themselves in relation to the other robins. "This Robin is this, this Robin is this, this Robin is this, but what am I?" Even Damian, who doesn't repeat what the other three said, but is still asking what they were saying about him.

They know each other. The way they define each of their brothers is all very very similar, sometimes down to the exact phrasing. They can wheedle their brothers down to the very essence of what they see as their character, or at least their place in the world, but they can't figure out their own.

Every (male) Robin defines himself by his brothers, and what he thinks he's not. That's . . . ow.

Rating: Teens and Up Audiences

Archive Warning: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings

Category: M/M, Gen

Fandoms: Batman - All Media Types, Red Hood and The Outlaws (Comics)

Relationships: Tim Drake & Jason Todd, Kon-El | Conner Kent & Jason Todd, Tim Drake & Kon-El | Conner Kent, Tim Drake/Kon-El | Conner Kent, (it can be read both ways), past Roy Harper/Jason Todd

Characters: Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Kon-El | Conner Kent

Additional Tags: Birthday, Jason Todd Has Issues, Jason Todd Needs A Hug, he doesnt quite get one but its close, Gift Giving, Good Sibling Tim Drake, Good Friend Kon-El | Conner Kent, not to jason though just to tim, Grief/Mourning, Drinking, Underage Drinking, (not described in detail), Clubbing, Conner is Tim's personal airplane, and now Jason's too, Kon-El | Conner Kent Hates Jason Todd, roy harper is dead, Post-Heroes in Crisis (DCU), Sad Jason Todd, Bad Parent Bruce Wayne, Rated T For Jason Todd, and also for the drinking, Tim's ugly duffel bag

Summary:

Jason knows he’s alone, is the point. It’s fucking why he’s drinking himself half to death in this Devil’s asshole bar, and he’s planning on giving the fucker a hefty tip, so he’s not sure why the dude’s complaining.

Jason is halfway through his fourth glass of beer — and drunk as a homeless man on Christmas Eve because he’s always been a goddamn lightweight. Artemis used to make fun of him for it when they went out for drinks and fuck now he’s thinking about her— when the door to the bar opens to reveal… Motherfucking Tim Drake?

And is that Superboy?

Or, Jason has been exiled from Gotham, all his friends are either dead or missing, and he's falling back into old drinking habits. Naturally, he's entirely prepared to spend his birthday alone. Tim Drake has something to say about it.
