the batkids will deliberately get jason into their favorite pieces of media so he’ll write fanfiction for it.

dick discovered this strategy when he forced jason to watch one of his favorite shows with him. he’d totally forgotten that the show ended on a cliffhanger before it was cancelled, but rewatching it brought back that feeling of dissatisfaction he had the first time around. so dick opens up the ao3 tag for the show and to his surprise, there’s a brand new fic addressing every single loose end, complete with beautiful prose and amazing characterization. dick practically weeps. it’s only when he realizes some of the things in the fic match up with the rants jason had during their watch of the show that he has barbara confirm his suspicions about who the author is.

somehow everybody but jason gets wind of this and they’re taking unashamed advantage of it. the next time they see a movie together, stephanie leans over to jason to whisper about the romantic potential between two characters. she gets like three fics for her ship out of that. when jason goes outside, barbara switches electronic billboards and redirects taxis with ads for her favorite show. and of course, every targeted ad on his phone and computer are for the same show. when he finally gives in and watches it, barbara ends up with plenty of content to get her through the between seasons break.

everybody in jason’s family is subscribed to the ao3 account that he doesn’t know they know he has. one day, they’re all chilling in the library, and at the same time jason publishes his latest fic (for a movie bruce of all people was very insistent he watch), everybody’s email notifications go off. he narrows his eyes suspiciously. “just some wayne enterprises stuff.” “got a package delivered.” “what’s an email?”

it’s fine. he’ll let them get away with it. besides, he does the same thing to damian to get fanart out of him.

i LOVE all of jaimes little mannerisms in the suit, the way he gives the water a little pat pat when he’s hovering above it and how he raises his hand to his mouth after he splits the bus like a scandalized victorian woman, i adore him

casting xolo as jaime was genius not just cuz he’s literally perfect for the role, but also because in every trailer reaction i’ve seen people are like “oh that’s miguel from cobra kai :D i hope this movie does well, we love that guy!” there is not an insignificant amount of hype from this movie purely running off people wanting good things for that little guy from cobra kai

i Love the way teenagers talk in dc shows. jon kent referring to himself as having "a broke-ass arm" and jason todd reacting to getting dropped off a building with "yeah, it was hellacious." the old guys in the writers rooms have no idea how to write teenagers, they are spinning a wheel of random swear words and slang terms, but you know what im immediately incorporating all of it into my vocabulary you win hbo

#blu talks #blu is dcposting #its very nathan from life is strange 'whatthefuckever' like Nobody talks like that except me. now. everyday. #and points to the actors for delivering shit like that 'a broke-ass arm' how am i supposed to say that naturally And angrily #hbo titans #superman and lois

the thing about jason todd is that its about a lack of agency. its about being born with nothing and nobody, knowing you were always going to die young. it's about his death being about the joker and about batman and about the joker and batman. its about his death being literally left up to a telephone poll. they had two different sets of death in the family panels drawn up. jason's fate was never in his own hands. its about people saying jason todd was a character who worked best dead. its about being born again because of some cosmic superpunch, catatonic. its about his dunk in the lazarus pits being orchestrated by talia al guhl. he couldnt control the circumstances of his birth, his death, his resurrection. doomed by the narrative tugged along by the narrative ahhhhhhhhh

#blu talks #blu is dcposting #AND THEN EVERYTHING HE DOES AFTER THAT IS A RESPONSE #EVERY CHOICE HE MAKES ITS BECAUSE OF THE ONES HE DIDNT #literally shot up in bed in a cold sweat like #jason todd #dc comics #like i cant even articulate this but the meta fact that jason died because people voted on it #like it could have gone either way the narrative didnt care about him dead or alive #there was no grand plan batman couldve had up his sleeve there was no daring escape from jason if people voted then he DIED #he was born in a place called crime alley he was always supposed to die young and then he did

bruce and jason’s relationship is crazy because like what if some tiny child stole your tires and you took him in and he became your son and you loved him and then he dies and it ruinsyou. and then he comes back, your child is alive and he forgives you! he forgives you for not saving him but he hates you for not avenging him and he breaks your heart and he does so everyday he’s alive but it’s better than when he took it to the ground with him. and you can take that because your son is alive.

if theres no paco and brenda i hope the end credits scene is at least him getting on facetime (or lets be honest a discord call) with them and being like “guys you will not believe what happened at my new job”

thinking about titans jason todd again. in his first appearance he beats up a bunch of cops. he's fanboy eager to meet his new brother who cannot stand him. he gets annoyed when rose calls him a theatre nerd because he's a "thespian, actually." he tried to throw himself off the roof because everybody hated him. he makes a hamilton reference in the middle of trying to murder his brother. he's becoming a ruthless vigilante while having the most serious case of sad little brother face i've ever seen like so what he's violently taking over the city, i wanna go to his baseball games and buy him ice cream afterwards because his dad didn't show up

this scene this scene right here is the reason for all my mental illness.

“you spend your whole life looking for someone who doesn’t want you. and then you find someone who does and... it's time to move on. like lightning in a bottle. there one second. gone the next“
