#jason and roy think their dad’s are dramatic

[damianwaynerocks]

back on my batfamily true crime bs

bruce and jason get into a huge argument. a massive one that ends in jason being barred from going on patrol with them. so what does he do? silly revenge.

jason todd starts an anonymous true crime podcast called that’s just called “todd tales.” it’s an investigative podcast about the death of jason todd.

since he’s legally dead & decides to be an anonymous podcaster, he goes full in. talks about his upbringing, saying things like “i spoke to one of jason’s old neighbor’s and this is what she has to say”

and the “neighbor” is stephanie who thinks it’s hilarious and goes along with it. “he and his mom’s boyfriends always got into fights,” she says with a british accent, “and one time i heard him & his dad yelling at each other, and then there was a loud crash. i walked out and his dad was at the bottom of the stairs.”

which leads jason to speculate that jason todd killed him, calling him “a badass motherfucker no wonder bruce wayne was in such awe of him”

and then as the episodes progress he talks about the theory that “jason todd secretly became robin but because he was so smart and cool bruce wayne had no idea that he was fighting with batman”

he has theories that he “investigates.” he goes over the official story- that jason was traveling with bruce, got kidnapped and held for ransom but something went wrong & he was accidentally killed - and then he says “but that’s fucking bullshit *laughs* as thought bruce wayne couldn’t pay a ransom”

his next theory is the truth, that he was robin & got murdered by a villain. he has two guests to prove it.

“im alvin draper, bruce’s former assistant,” tim (who is mad at bruce for making him go on a patrol on bernard’s birthday) says with a voice modular, “and i remember, after jason died, bruce ordered me to call the mortician who did the autopsy and tell him that bruce was offering him $1,000,000 to get out of gotham & sign a non-disclosure form to never speak about jason.”

jason then gets an “autopsy tech” who helped with the autopsy, the tech that bruce supposedly didn’t know was in the room because “bruce wayne is fucking stupid”.

“of course, the truth needs to be out there,” roy says dramatically. “no way he was accidentally shot like the official story says. he had several broken bones, obvious signs of blunt force trauma, and several burn scars, but absolutely no bullet holes.”

he gets hate comments about how he shouldn’t be talking about a dead teenager, but he doesn’t stop. (jason secretly loves it because it makes him feel like he hasn’t been forgotten) (but also he finds it hilarious bc they have no idea)

and bruce is furious. he knows it’s jason. he makes an official statement saying that the podcast is horrible and disrespectful. dick makes one too, saying that he can’t believe someone would do this about his little brother.

bruce, dick & damian hound jason to stop it. bruce yells at him, dick is trying to be nice because “i understand, but-“ and damian is like “i know i’ve given up murder but you’re considered dead anyways so therefore it does not count”

then alfred tells him, sternly, “master jason, please stop.” and jason feels so bad, so small because, like, it’s alfred, and deletes the podcast after the final episode.

but he’s still not allowed back on patrol.

A Non-Exhaustive List of My Fiance @radioactive-earthshine​‘s Impressions of the 2003 TMNT Series:

First up--

MIKEY

Her favorite

He screams in such a wonderful way.

10/10 would be friends with Bart Allen/Impulse online (where they’d talk about Star Trek, both headcanons and meta).

The cute one

Precious

GIVE! HIM! FRIENDS!

He definitely needs to hit up Roy Harper/Arsenal in New York to join his team, Titans East.

RAPH

He experiences a LOT of male-bonding.

This turtle isn’t straight. (He’s masc for masc.)

Dramatic

He needs his boyfriend (meaning Traximus) around more.

While his brothers were all being traumatized in various ways during the arc that included SAINW he was off in a bike-race with a hottie on another planet.

Would absolutely swear more and probably only censors himself around his dad.

He’d be friends with Jason Todd/Robin II/Red Hood.

DONNIE

The Kirby episode with him was one of her favorites.

Tim Drake/Robin III/Red Robin’s friend.

Why is he sitting on the couch like that? Sir, why did you put the couch like that before climbing onto it to sit?

He’s not straight because he sits on the couch like that. He’s not straight either.

Hasn’t made much of an impression. (Sorry Donnie, you don’t get a full 7 points.)

LEO

O O F.  SON.

Ah, he’s a bi disaster.

He needs to get together with the rabbit.

Wants him to behead people more. Wants it to be a running gag that he beheads Shredder every time they encounter each other. (”Go apeshit! Do it again!”)

He needs to stop chasing Karai, she’s a bad choice. (”She’s hot, but son that’s a CHOICE.”)

✨T H E R A P Y✨

Her watching every moment between Leo and Usagi: “That’s gaaaaayyyyyy~.”

Orion (of New Genesis) would get along with him.

SPLINTER

Unhealthy obsession with wanting to see him naked. (Seriously, she wants to see this rat without his robe on constantly.)

Wants to see him brushing his fur.

Is married to the Daimyo.

Wants him to have tea with Alfred Pennyworth. (Where they could go back and forth over hellion children.)

Where are your teeth? (”He’s a opossum!” -brings up google images- “Look! That’s a opossum! He doesn’t have rat teeth!”)

You’re one fucked-up rat.

Regularly quotes him as saying “Oh, you were so cute” about his sons.

USAGI

Leo’s (long-distance) boyfriend

“Is he a lop-eared rabbit? If he takes that tie off will his ears just flop over?”

Ah, another disaster-bi.

A much better choice than Karai.

“You exchanged swords? That’s gay.”

“I do not want to see him naked ever.”

“Where are your teeth?!”

“Real original name.” 🙄

KARAI

I have no thoughts about her-- no wait.

If I had that name I’d Karai too.

A terrible choice.

Hot though.

Needs to figure out her shit.

You don’t need NO MAN.

CASEY (MOTHER FUCKING) JONES

CANADIAN????

It’d be hilarious if how he died in SAINW was something really stupid, like choking on air, or tripping into something, or choking on a muffin. Nothing impressive, just embarrassing. It’d be hilarious.

Fun to watch.

You’re too disastrous to not be bi.

I need him to handle all my retail returns.

He needs to use a baseball bat more.

Dumbass™ (because of his terrible hiding skills)

APRIL

“I haven’t changed my outfit in over 10 years because I made a vow when I lost my Uncle Auggie to never change my wardrobe until he came back home so he’d recognize me!”

MOOD

You’re just as much of a dumbass™ as Casey, and that’s why you deserve each other.

GIRL, are you BARBIE? Because you have a lot of careers!

-a la Jurassic Park- SHOOT HER!!! SHOOT HER AGAIN!!!

LEATHERHEAD

I WANT TO BOOP THAT SNOOT.

Wants to pet his snoot too. (”I think he’d like it.”)

Also would get along well with Orion of New Genesis.

✨T H E R A P Y✨

Deserves better.

SHREDDER

wATch OUt fOr ShrEDdeR!!!

Can’t take him seriously and starts laughing every time he’s on screen.

Wants him to be beheaded constantly by Leo.

Mocks him by giving him Bane’s voice from the Harley Quinn animated series and pretending he has a fixation on cheese and shredding cheese. (”Soooomonnne! Give me the cheddaaaarrr!!! I’m so stressed!”)

Sometimes calls him Cheddar.

Desperately wants someone to call him a Kitchen-Aid attachment to his face.

HUN

Hun. Hunny. Honey. (Absolutely must mock his name.)

“All the men call me Hun.”

Vaguely implied that the Purple Dragons were his harem??? (My fiance is wild y’all.)

Clearly smarter than Baxter Stockman.

BAXTER STOCKMAN

HE NEVER LEARNS!!!

“I want him to call Shredder the Kitchen-Aid attachment.”

Her favorite line from him: “You’d make a horrible scientist.”

WOOOOWWWWWWW

Clearly not as smart as Hun when it comes to shutting his damn mouth.

#TMNT #TMNT 2003 #Michelangelo #Raphael #Donatello #Leonardo #my wonderful fiance #rofl #lol #I'm not tagging all the characters here because that'd get a bit ridiculous #I love my fiance if you can't tell #my fiction #tagging 'my fiction' so it's easier to find

[covertblizzard]

Info-dumping my list of JayKyle short story ideas because I might never get around to them and I mean even if I do, it’s fine to have multiple similar fics anyway so...

Jason comparing himself to women who had their husbands away at war in the past and could not contact them, no way of knowing if or when they will return, or if they would be hurt (this fits so well because Kyle is away lantern-ing and Jason would have read those stories and be like, that is me, woe is me). Bonus if they write dramatic “wartime” letters to each other (Kyle’s with a whole bunch of doodles of the pretty things he sees in space that he thinks Jason would like)

I know canonically Jason came back to life because of Superboy’s punch or whatever, but have you considered... alternate universe where Jason and Kyle are boyfriends, Kyle is a White Lantern, Jason dies and in Kyle’s shock, fear, and desperation to bring Jason back to life, he reawakens Jason’s across the multiverse.

Jason and Steph making jokes about Batman adopting Kyle, but Kyle thinks they’re serious and he’s freaking out because then he will lose his chance with Jason, so the next time he meets Batman he just yells “YOU CAN’T ADOPT ME, I HAVE GREEN EYES” and Batman’s just like “Hn”

Wallykyle fake dating to make Dick and Jason respectively jealous

Batman manipulates certain situations to make JayKyle happens, but then Jason finds out and at first he wants to dump Kyle because HELLO HE IS NOT GOING ALONG WITH HIS DAD’S STUPID PLAN, but then he couldn’t so now he is agonising over Batman having “tricked” Kyle into liking him and maybe Kyle doesn’t even like him and has just been manipulated. Kyle doesn’t know what’s going on. (Maybe it’s funnier if Kyle is planning to propose and Jason doesn’t notice solely because he is busy having a crisis, idk)

Dick’s POV where he is working with Kyle (maybe with the Titans, maybe with just Donna, maybe just him and Kyle) and Jason keeps popping out of nowhere for a while, and he realised Jason was being a helicopter boyfriend while Kyle’s on Earth because he is worried and because he CAN

A Titans gathering where Jason keeps looking at the door when someone enters as though waiting for someone, then perks up when Kyle enters, and Dick is like HMMM? (And Donna is like... you don’t already know?? Maybe even Wally and Roy know and Dick is like... why am I the last to know??? This can be used for either pre-relationship crushing stage, or relationship stage really, just make it work idc)

Jason being afraid of Kyle meeting the family because they’ll either say bad things about him or they’ll give him the shovel talk, both he worries might chase Kyle away

Jason picking up photography because he thinks Kyle likes photographers (Alex, Donna, Jennie-Lynn... it’s a real trend)

#jaykyle #jason todd #kyle rayner #mypost #dc thoughts #i was a bit apprehensive about posting this at first #but i figured why not #they are fun ideas i think i would love to see them #this isn't even all of my ideas #just the ones i think can be fit into a one-shot #when i do start writing jaykyle... it will probably be none of this because i have that housemates au i want to write :( #and the college au #and the maura moves to gotham au #and the team terra au

Real Housewives (sort of) of Gotham

by brandywine421

Selina is curious to a fault but she has a twinge of concern at her almost-stepson's name popping up on her personal line.  They were allies and frenemies, depending on who was Brucie's favorite pet at the moment but he usually texts birthday wishes and xoxo's instead of actual voice contact.  "Is everyone okay?"

"Oh, yeah - sorry, didn't really think this far ahead."

Dick is what, twenty-two, twenty-five or something?  "Are you okay?"

"You said that if B ever wasn't around and I needed a friend - I could call you."

Shit, she isn't sure she's ready for Brucie drama, he's pretty committed to their 'break' after the latest attempt at a wedding was canceled.  Best ratings the Real Housewives of Gotham has ever gotten, though.

"I am totally making this more dramatic than it needs to be - Selina, I'm having a small personal crisis and want to hide and lick my wounds for a few weeks without having to deal with B."

She reconsiders.  "You want to piss off your dad and sleep in my poolhouse?"

[hintofelation99]

Tam: You're all insane.

Jason, rolling his eyes: Don't be so dramatic, we're fine!

Tam looking skeptical: Really? What are your go to solutions?

Jason: Murd- non-fatal maiming.

Bruce, looking exasperated: Did you almost say murder?

Jason: The key word there is almost Brucie.

Bruce, unimpressed: That is not very reassuring Jason.

Dick: Don't be so judgemental Bruce, he's doing amazing! I'm very proud of you Jaybird.

Jason: Thank you Dickiebird! Besides Brucie, you're the one who taught me that violence is always the answer.

Bruce: I did not teach you-

Bruce: Okay, maybe I encouraged violence, but violence is not my go to solution. My go to solution is to carefully analyze the situation and developed a well-informed solution.

Steph: You're just avoiding the question! Your go to solution can not be to research a good solution!

Cass: She's right.

Dick: Yeah, no your go to solution is to adopt a child and beat up a clown.

Jason: Then get the kid killed by the clown.

Bruce:

Duke, whispering: Damn...

Roy, rolling his eyes: Don't be a drama king. We can have awkward trauma guilt trips later Jaybird. For now we need to focus on Tam's genius inquiry. Bruce adopts then beats up clowns and Jay maims the scum of the earth, how about you Dickie?

Jason: Me? A drama king? Never. And this is none of your business, why are you even here?

Roy: To watch the world burn. Now don't distract Dick from the question at hand.

Dick, rolling his eyes: I just talk it out, no big deal!

Tim: No you don't, you beat people up, fight with B, then act all bossy.

Dick: ...well that was unnecessary.

Tim: It was very necessary.

Jason: I think it can be narrowed down to 'fight with B and act bossy,' which honestly Timbo, is better than your go to.

Tim rolling his eyes: What's my go to?

Steph: A twenty step plan that ends in mass destruction. Same as Babs.

Babs: No no no. My solution is gather all available information. Then mass destruction. And honestly Steph, you should be grateful for that, it's saved your ass many times, considering your solution is basically just 'poke it with a stick and see if it kills me'.

Steph: I'm pretty sure that's also Cass' solution, and she's doing great!

Cass: No.

Tim: Cass is right, she doesn't have a go to solution. She is the go to solution.

Tam: That is... terrifying?

Cass just smiles.

Roy: Okay, but Cass being terrifying is normal, c'mon lets hear about one of the other poorly adjusted children.

Jason: The amount of entertainment you get from the conversation is very concerning.

Roy: Shhhh, babe. We aren't talking about my shitty mental state, we're talking about your families shitty mental state. Now, how does Damian deal with stuff?

Tim: Damian, tries to kill the problem.

Damian: Tt. That is not my solution of choice for every problem.

Tim: You literally tried to kill me when you thought I was a problem.

Damian: That is completely different.

Dick: I mean- I wouldn't say you try to kill everything, but you definitely try to stab everything

Roy: Ok, ok. We have Bruce who's Mr. Adopt-a-kid n' hit the clown. Dick, who's solution is 'it's not a phase dad' and 'I'm oldest listen to me'. Babs who basically just ruins her enemies lives. Then there's Jay, who just hits assholes. And Timmy who puts Lex Luthor to shame. Steph just goes for it and hopes she doesn't die. And Cass who is the solution. And Stabby McStabster who Stabs people. Who else?

Tam: Duke?

Duke: I think, compared to everyone else, my solutions are normal.

Jason: You lead a gang and... oh my god.

Duke: What?

Jason: You have the same solution as Bruce!

Duke: What? No I don't!

Jason: You got some kids to help you beat up the mentally ill! You're Bruce!

Tim: Holy shit Duke, he's right.

Steph: Oh my god! Everyone thinks you're well adjusted but really you're just a mini McBroodster!

Bruce: Stephanie, do not call me McBroodster. Duke, you solutions are generally respectable.

Dick: He's only saying that because they're his solutions.

Jason: Didn't the Joker try to repeat B's trauma origin with you?

Duke: Oh my god.

Bruce: Boys stop making-

Duke, looking horrified: I'M YOU!

Bruce: Why are you upset about that? I handle things very well?

Jason: Haha Duke's gonna be a moody asshole when he grows up!

Duke looks horrified.

Dick, pulling Duke into a hug: Don't worry Duke, we can get through this together.

Bio Dad Bruce Wayne Month 2020

Day 1: Meeting for the first time

Not my best work, but decent. I hope you enjoy!

—*—*—*—*—*

Mari was intelligent. That much could not be disputed— and despite her dislike for the sciences in general, she was fully capable of comprehending them when she wanted to. She just usually didn’t care enough to try. But genetics? That was kinda cool. So, when she was ten years old and they began their short unit on it, she was obsessed. And by obsessed, she dove in head first. Like, the fact that her eye color didn’t match either of her parents or grandparents. How could she have blue eyes when none of them did? She delved in deeper and deeper until she uncovered a truth her parents hadn’t wanted her to figure out quite so soon.

She was adopted.

Mari never told her parents about her discovery, the epiphany only managing to sate her curiosity. Who needed blood relation when her parents loved her like real ones anyway? But as the years passed and certain life changes came up, she couldn’t help but feel intrigued by the mystery of where her DNA came from. The heroism thing had to have some root in genetics, right? Okay, so maybe she was just looking for someone to be mad at besides Master Fu. But still, could she be blamed?

So, when Marinette was thirteen years old, she traced her DNA back to her biological parents. And for a while, that was it. She had once again sated her curiosity. She didn’t need anything else. Her mother was dead, and she doubted her biological father knew a thing about her. So Marinette forgot about her discovery, or at least let it sink into the recesses of her brain. And there it stayed, until she was eighteen.

—* — * — * — * — *

It had to be one of the most accidentally dramatic days possible. Top floor of Wayne Enterprises, in one of Bruce’s massive conference rooms with every member of his large family in attendance. Even Kori and Mar’i were there, and Jason’s boyfriend Roy. Everyone was getting fairly restless, considering that Bruce had only informed a few of them (Read: just Dick, who was vibrating in his seat and not soothing anyone’s nerves) about what they were even all called in for. In their civilian identities, no less. It was very odd. Damian, not least of all, was sitting beside Bruce with his jaw clenched but eyes scanning the room in curiosity. He had come a long way from the surly ten year old, and he hadn’t even killed anyone in four years. He had well and truly become a Bat, and with that progress came the lessening of his old temper and brattiness.

Make note: lessening. Not erasure.

It wasn’t long, maybe ten or fifteen minutes of Bruce checking his phone and grinning secretively without answering anyone’s questions, before a businesslike tap-tap-tap sounded on the door to the conference room. Immediately, everything went silent. Kori, Tim, and Jason stopped trying to get Dick to say anything intelligible and went instead to just keeping the man in his seat at all. Bruce let out a rare, soft chuckle before raising his coffee mug to his lips. He called out:

“Come on in, miss MDC. We’re ready for our meeting,” before taking a long sip.

And as soon as the door opened all the way, admitting a short woman of asian descent with navy black hair brushing the bottom of her shoulder blades and piercing (familiar. Too familiar) deep blue eyes, he promptly choked. Trying his damndest not to get coffee everywhere, Bruce devolved into a coughing fit even as his eyes continued to flitter up to the figure just admitted into the room. The woman pretended not to notice his suffering, closing the door behind her and walking forward towards the side of the rectangular-set-up ring of tables that was closest to her and also unoccupied. She plopped a heavy bag down onto the table, reaching in and pulling out a large red and white polka-dotted journal from within, along with a black pen. But despite her businesslike movements and her silence, nobody missed the way that her far too familiar stunningly blue eyes twinkled in suppressed mirth. She didn’t seem surprised at all.

That was the last time Bruce was ever gonna let Tim do someone’s background check on his own. He should have at least looked at the file Tim had made, but of course not. Tim was capable, he trusted the boy with half of their entire family’s company. One background check on one highly reputable designer? Of course he could trust Tim.

Except apparently not. This is what Bruce got for keeping secrets.

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng,” Bruce spoke once he got a handle of himself, pushing back his chair almost hurriedly and standing. Damian followed suit, laser focused on his father along with everyone else who knew just how out of character the older man was being just then. It was hard to fluster Bruce at all those days, let alone make him choke and hurry to stand. “I— Welcome to WE. I’m—“ Bruce was cut off by a soft chuckle.

“Bruce Wayne, my biological father and employer for the next few weeks. I know,” Marinette interrupted, sending a sly smile his way. “I had a feeling somebody didn’t actually tell you my name. I was planning on coming to Gotham later this year after I graduated Lycee and demanding to get to know you, but it looks like you did the hard work for me without even knowing. But,” her smile widened in good humor as she walked up closer to Bruce, holding her hand out for a shake. “I do have to say, now that I’ve seen you in person I feel a bit cheated. With how tall you are, you’d think I would have inherited at least a couple more inches.”

“Excuse me? Who do you think you are, claiming to be a Wayne?” Damian asked, tone sharp and his emerald eyes glaring straight towards her. Bruce just took Marinette’s hand, shaking it gently from surprise, but his foot gently kicked his son in the ankle.

“Damian,” Bruce said simply, the single name laced with warning as it came out of his mouth. He turned his attention back to the girl in front of him. “It is nice to finally meet you in person, Marinette. I admit, I did not know of our relation until a few years ago, and I wasn’t in the right mindset back then to welcome another child. Besides, I had it on good authority that your adoptive parents are more than wonderful to you.”

Marinette shrugged. “I don’t mind. I didn’t look into who my biological father was until I was thirteen, anyway. I don’t think things would have ended well if you had just shown up in Paris one day asking to be involved in my life. Enough of that though,” Marinette turned to the sixteen year old by Bruce’s side now stiffened and wide-mouthed. His entire expression, subdued as it was, still managed to clearly telegraph betrayal. And then those eyes locked on Marinettes, and the emerald simmered into something much more vile and acidic. Marinette was not perturbed, merely giving the younger boy a smile and holding out her hand for a shake.

“You must be my half-brother, Damian. I expected someone carved out of stone, with how the tabloids paint you as unfeeling and cold,” she joked. Damian glared harder. She raised an eyebrow. “You seem pretty heated and angry, like a hissing cat, to me. And by the way, I never claimed to be a Wayne. My last name is Dupain-Cheng, and I don’t plan on changing it anytime soon. Having the same blood relation as you does not mean I plan to throw away the name given to me by the ones who actually raised me. But, it does mean that I will get to know you one way or another. I’m not easy to get rid of, and I’ve always wanted a sibling or two.”

That was when the room couldn’t hold it any more; everyone bar the three in the center of the room burst out laughing. It wasn’t too raucous, confusion dampening the hysteria that usually would have taken over, but there was a good round of chuckles and laughter. When it settled down, Damian’s shoulders had slightly relaxed but he still hadn’t taken Marinette’s hand. Instead, he turned to his father again.

“Explain.” He demanded. Bruce sighed, his gaze connecting with Marinette’s own identical one. He searched her for any hesitation, but only got a flash of a bright smile in return. Bruce straightened his shoulders, clasping his hands behind his back and turning to face Damian and the rest of the room.

“I found out about Marinette shortly after Damian was… introduced to the family,” Bruce admitted, resisting the urge to glance at Marinette after the hedged mention of how he met Damian. “I decided to scour every resource I had to make sure I couldn’t be surprised by another biological child. And, lo and behold, I found out that I was right to do so. Her biological mother passed away in childbirth however, so she was adopted by a couple in Paris. I did not see any need to contact her at the time. A friend of mine did happen to be in Paris back then though, and hung around to make sure Marinette was being treated well before leaving again.”

“You sent a friend of yours to spy on me?” Marinette asked, but she just sounded thoroughly amused. “Geez. Now I know where I get it from. When I was thirteen, I had a bit of a bad habit of spying on my friends when I was worried instead of confronting them head on. It took a while to grow out of, and even now I can easily slip back into the habit if I’m not careful. But, as great as this reunion is, it isn’t what I’m being paid to be here for,” Her grin turned downright wicked as she snapped open her sketchbook and clicked her pen.

“I am MDC, the owner and CEO of the up and rising fashion label Spotted Designs, where every look will turn heads and ensure confidence. Monsieur Wayne,” her grin turned into a sly smirk when she said his name, which visibly made Bruce twitch. “Has hired me today to design all of you a new outfit for his gala in four months time, as well as a casual outfit of your own choosing should you want one. Before I get started, I would like to ask you to please sign your NDAs, which my assistant and best friend will bring in for you in a few minutes, before we conclude this meeting. I go by an alias for a reason, I value my privacy, and I would prefer it if word did not get out about my being MDC just yet. Being CEO of a business I started from scratch when I’m only eighteen right now will garner attention that I am not patient enough to deal with right now.”

The silence was near palpable until Jason huffed in amusement and remarked: “Yup. I can see the resemblance.”

“Resemblance?” Duke asked, leaning forward with an incredulous look on his face. “It’s like seeing a tiny, genderswapped, innocent copy of Damian. Is anyone else terrified right now?”

“Tt,” Damian tutted, letting a heavy breath out through his nose before shoving his hand forward. He didn’t look pleased, but neither did he look venomous or betrayed anymore. “Miss Dupain-Cheng. I am Damian Wayne, and I look forward to working with you.” He greeted as if the past few minutes hadn’t happened at all. Marinette beamed, letting out a short belt of delighted laughter before clasping his hand firmly with hers.

“My competence always wins people over,” she teased.

“Only if they don’t see you trip over empty air first,” a new voice joined in, lightly joining the teasing. It belonged to a tall, blond haired green eyed man that looked about the same age as Marinette herself. He came carrying a large two-foot stack of papers as easily as if he was only carrying one sheet. Closing the door behind him with his foot, he went around the large square of tables distributing NDAs to everyone who hadn’t already signed one. “Mari’s the clumsiest person I’ve ever seen, but I’ve also seen her hand sew a double sided ball gown with a layer of knife-resistant fabric in less than thirty hours and still threaten anyone to come near with a needle to the eye, so I’ve learned to just not take anything about her at face value anymore.”

“Oh shut up,” Marinette snapped back cheerfully, rolling her eyes. “This is my best friend, assistant, and business partner Adrien Agreste.”

“I deal with all the paperwork and spotlight that she doesn’t want to handle,” he agreed, nearly blinding everyone with his beaming smile. “Now. Please sign these NDAs, and you can experience Marinette’s skill firsthand.”

After papers were signed and Adrien left, Bruce tried to start another conversation with Marinette.

“So, when did you find out—“

“I’m going to start with taking all of your measurements, if you don’t mind. You first, Monsieur Wayne.”

Bruce blinked, not used to being interrupted. “Ah. We can do this tomorrow, I wasn’t expecting—“

“That’s not my fault, Monsieur Wayne. I came here knowing exactly who I was going to deal with, and you want me to make a quite frankly horrifying amount of clothing in a very short amount of time. Any designer lesser than me would be completely incapable of meeting your deadline. I plan on sticking to my schedule, which means that we are going to get everyone’s measurements and a baseline of the kind of designs you all want done today before the end of our scheduled appointment.”

“Marinette, I would really like to talk about—“

“Arms out. And take your suit jacket off, I can’t get an accurate measurement with it,” she once again interrupted, businesslike and efficient as she took her measuring tape and lined it up against various parts of his body, jotting down the results. She didn’t entertain any of his attempts at conversation in the meantime, instead using the dead time to grill Damian on what he wanted for his suit design.

And, like a partnership that never should have existed, Damian merely smirked and played along with her game. He answered her questions thoroughly but precisely, never allowing their father a chance to make actual conversation. Next thing the poor eldest Wayne knew, Marinette had already taken everyone’s measurements and almost an hour had passed. No less than ten pages of her notebook were already filled with neat lines of notes and numbers.

“You really take this whole thing seriously, don’t you?” Tim asked, in the middle of describing his ideal suit to Marinette. She hummed, grinning up at him mysteriously. As if she was in on a joke he hadn’t heard.

“Designing is my life, Monsieur Drake. This company is something I’ve been building from the ground up since I was thirteen, I’ve made my own clothes since I was ten. Of course I take it seriously. Now. I believe that is everything I need,” she stood up, asking a few last second questions as she gathered up her things. Seeing his chance, Brucie walked her to the door.

“Really, Marinette, I would like to talk to you more. Would you like to come to the Manor tonight, for dinner maybe?”

Marinette smirked, opening the door before Bruce could and turning her head to say over her shoulder: “Not tonight, but maybe tomorrow. Do me a favor though, and try not to get too injured on patrol. I need you all in good enough shape to stand while I do your initial fittings later this week. Gotham might need it’s vigilantes, but you will all regret it if you break a bone before I can fit my prototypes to you.”

Nobody was able to say a word before she closed the door behind her and continued briskly to the elevator. Bruce stood, dumbfounded. Tim, Jason, and Dick, after a moment, started cackling.

“Oh yeah. That’s Damian’s sister.”

“Tt. At least this proves it.”

Bruce, suddenly very exhausted, turned to his son while rubbing his forehead. “Proves what, Damian?”

His trademark razor sharp smirk overtook his face as Damian replied: “Your blood children really are much more competent and effective than the strays you took in.”

“Hey!”

—*—*—*—*—*

“You didn’t have a full conversation?” Adrien guessed, looking exactly like the cat who caught the canary. Marinette had her head in her hands, her entire face red.

“I didn't know how to have an actual conversation with them, Adrien! You should have seen it, Monsieur Wayne—“

“You can just say your father, you know.”

“—Wanted to talk about feelings. Emotions! Gooey, family stuff and probably sentimental things. In front of so many people, too. I panicked!”

“You panicked and went full Business Empress mode,” Adrien agreed, patting her back in both comfort and condescension. “It’s okay. You at least agreed to dinner tomorrow night.”

“Fuuuuuuuuuck, I diiiiiid. Quick, let’s come up with a way to fake my kidnapping.”

“No.”

“Damn.”

[river-bottom-nightmare]

this was originally a bribe for @screennamealreadyused but since she already did the thing i wanted her to do, think of it as a thank you instead. this is kind of a mess bc it starts off as a hc and ends with a fic-style thing but whatever. accept my offering.

Jason had always been good with kids. No matter what others seem to think of “The Red Hood,” Jason knew that he’d been the sole reason some of those kids in Crime Alley had grown up okay, had grown up at all. And soon enough, the Red Hood developed a rep for helping kids.

Jason had seen himself reflected in those thin, hunger-stark faces, wary and untrusting but still holding out hope for someone to care. he’d become that someone for a good couple of people. of course he hadn’t expected his affinity for kids to stretch into almost all of them. and he certainly hadn’t expected his family to pick up on it.

But here he was, standing helplessly in the middle of Dick’s apartment in Bludhaven as he rushed through the different rooms, talking faster than the Flash. Rules for Mar’i and guidelines for dinner and where the first aid kit was and on and on and on. When he finally left, Jason turned to stare at his niece (his niece!), who was floating in the middle of the room, looking at him with her eerie green eyes. He’d met Mar’i a couple times, she was a sweet kid, but he’d never been alone with her for this long, and he had absolutely no idea what to do. This wasn’t a kid from Crime Alley that he could take to a seedy diner and feed them a burger and laugh about that old crappy corrupt pharmacy burning down on accident. This was a child that had grown up on an alien island, was now on Earth with her dad for the first time, and didn’t know what the hell was going on.

Then, Mar’i tilted her head and said, “Papa says you like books.”

Two hours later found them curled up together on the sofa, Mar’i in Jason’s lap as he read aloud Shakespeare’s King Lear. Mar’i was a good listener, gasping at all the dramatic parts and laughing at the funny voices he put on. And as she dozed off somewhere near Oswald’s death, Jason felt that familiar protective instinct somewhere inside him. It wasn’t helped by Dick’s smirk when he got home, that melted into a genuinely happy smile, despite Jason’s annoyed shaddup, dickface.

After that, it only got worse, because somehow, Mar’i Grayson and Lian Harper had become best friends. Jason had been a pretty consistent fixture in the Harper household, and now, both Dick and Roy would leave Mar’i and Lian with him whenever something came up. 

But Jason could honestly say he didn’t mind. Those two were brilliant, and always fun to watch over. Case in point: they were in Roy’s apartment while Roy was off on a job for the Titans. Lian and Mar’i had long since outgrown the need for a babysitter, but Jason liked the fact that they wanted him around anyway. (It’s just ‘cause you can cook, Dick had said. Shut the fuck up, dickhead, Jason said.)

Mar’i had finished painting Lian’s nails and had moved on to Jason, and he had to admit the deep red Mar’i had chosen didn’t look half bad.

“Thanks for coming, Jayjay,” Mar’i said, focusing on his pinky finger. “Lian really needed this.”

Ordinarily, Jason wouldn’t have thought much of it, but when he looked up, Lian looked almost,,,caught. Jason narrowed his eyes at her, and she looked away.

“Lian. What happened?”

Lian just shook her head, lips sealed, but Mar’i let out a sigh and responded for her. “Lian overheard her boyfriend bragging to his friends about how he was only with her because she was ‘Asian’ or whatever. She dumped him, obviously, but still. It’s rough.”

Jason stared at Mar’i for a minute. Then he made an aborted movement and both Lian and Mar’i tackled him.

“No, Jayjay don’t-”

“You’ll ruin your nail polish.”

“I’m gonna blow that fucker’s brains out.”

“Seriously, it’s not that bad. Nothing I haven’t heard before. Besides, I just wanna watch a movie later and eat your mac and cheese.” Lian grabbed the gun on Jason’s thigh holster and put it on the coffee table. Jason had a couple more on him, but deflated at the pleading expression on Lian’s face.

“You sure? Absolutely? Because I honestly do not give a shit that he’s a kid, I will permanently incapacitate him if the two of you want me too.”

This brought a faint smile to Lian’s face, and Jason prided himself on cheering her up as she settled back against a pillow. “Thanks, but no thanks. Now pass me the black, I’m going to do an accent nail.”

“Ooh, fancy,” Jason said. 

Later, when the two of them were curled up on the couch, Pacific Rim on the TV, Jason pulled out his phone. He sent off some quick identification, then followed it up with I want you to utterly destroy this fucker’s life.

Tim’s response was quick. Why?

Jason thought about sending a “because I said so,” but then realized Tim would probably go even harder on the guy if he told him what actually happened. He’s a racist asshole and hurt Lian.

At Tim’s quick message of Done, Jason smiled, then continued adding mozzarella to the mac and cheese.

And if Lian ran up to him and hugged him the next time they met, well, he’d keep how protective but happy he felt between the two of them.

There’s A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought Of It Yet by Panic! at the Disco- Jason Todd

a/n: Every fic I’ve written so far either involves Tim or is about Jason’s death and idk what that says about me but it’s nothing good.

“Please, leave all overcoats, canes and top hats with the doorman/From that moment you'll be out of place and underdressed/I'm wrecking this evening already and loving every minute of it/Ruining this banquet for the mildly inspiring and…”

“Haven't you heard that I'm the new cancer?/Never looked better, and you can't stand it.”

“And I know/And I know/It just doesn't feel like a night out with no one sizing you up/I've never been so surreptitious/So of course you'll be distracted when I spike the punch.”

-

Tim pulled at the tie that seemed to tighten like a noose around his neck irritably, looking around at all the guests chattering and laughing and drinking all of the expensive champagne. “Why do I need to be here?” 

“You’re the CEO.” Dick shot him a confused look. “You’re probably the only one contractually obligated to be here.” 

“Bruce threw the banquet,” Tim sat up in his seat a bit, glancing around as if the lack of attention proved his point. “None of them want to talk to me anyways. They all want to talk to Bruce.” 

“That’s because you’re 17,” Dick pointed out, sipping his own punch and wrinkling his nose at the bitter taste. “It’s hard to take a 17 year old seriously.” 

“Well which is it?” Tim demanded. “Am I the CEO contractually obligated to be here for the company, or the 17 year old son of Bruce Wayne forced to be here by his dad?” 

“Both.” Dick shrugged. 

Tim glared at his freshly shined shoes. “Why doesn’t Damian have to be here then?” 

“Because he’s 13.” Dick sighed irritably. “Would you just stop complaining? I came so you wouldn’t be alone, but I’ll happily go find someone else to talk to if you’re not even going to try and have a good time tonight.” 

Tim turned his glare to Dick who raised his hands in defence, standing up and grabbing his glass along the way. He moved over to the first group he saw, falling into easy conversation with the socialites, just like he always did. 

“That Dick Grayson sure grew up handsome,” Tim heard a woman say to his left. 

“Oh, he certainly did. He’s so good with the crowd- is he running the company now?” Another woman asked. 

“He should be. Somehow Bruce’s teenager got CEO, and poor Dick was left with nothing.” A third woman tsked. 

“Teenager?” The second asked, surprised. 

“I heard he’s only 15, I mean, what was Bruce thinking?” The first scoffed. 

“I’m 17,” Tim blurted, turning to look at the women.

The women at least had the courtesy to look guilty, but he suspected it wasn’t a genuine reaction. He could see the way they looked at him. 

They mumbled some half-hearted apologies and shuffled away awkwardly, and he was once again alone. Tim groaned, crossing his arms, slumping in his seat. He knew realistically, Dick would be the most logical choice. He’s personable, outgoing, and older than Tim was. But Dick had enough on his plate, and to Tim’s knowledge, absolutely no desire to be involved in Wayne Enterprises to begin with, let alone be the CEO. 

Tim just wanted to go home. 

“Good evening pricks of Gotham!” A familiar voice called through the crowd, and Tim looked up surprised. 

There was a collection of gasps and whispers as Jason and Roy strolled through the crowd. Roy was greeting people he recognized from his days with Oliver Queen, dressed in a red silk button up tucked into his black dress pants, the black suit jacket thrown on over top, unbuttoned. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and it looked like he at least tried with his hair, having thrown it back into a neat half up, half down style. However, Tim could see the Vans from here.

Jason on the other hand, was in a black button up and black jeans, with his signature brown leather jacket over top and sunglasses on. His combat boots were untied, like he couldn’t even be bothered to do the simple task. He acknowledged no one, not even Dick or Bruce’s horrified expressions. 

“Go about your business folks,” Jason commanded, waving his hand dismissively. 

Tim didn’t need to see his eyes to know Jason had his gaze locked onto him. He sat up a little and couldn’t help the little smirk creep up onto his face. Jason and Roy certainly knew how to make an entrance. 

Jason plopped into the seat across from Tim, grinning at his brother. 

“Hey baby bird, quite the party you’ve got going on here.” 

“I’m glad you got the invite.” Tim chuckled. “It was difficult sneaking it past Bruce, Dick and Alfred.” 

“Well, you know if it was anyone else’s name at the bottom I would’ve ignored it completely,” Jason shrugged, taking his glasses off and tossing them onto the table. “How’s it going anyways?” 

Tim’s face morphed into a scowl. “I hate these things. No one wants to talk to me, and most of them either don’t believe that I’m the CEO or think it’s Dick.” 

Jason raised his eyebrow. “Tim, you are the smartest person in this room. You’ve done more for the company in your short time than Bruce did in all his years. That’s why he’s kept you on.” 

“Maybe,” Tim sighed. “No one else knows that though.” 

Jason shrugged. “They will.” He smirked. “But don’t worry baby bird, you won’t have to deal with this banquet much longer.” 

Tim eyed Jason warily. “Are you going to get us arrested?” 

“Nah, I wouldn’t tarnish your record like that,” Jason shrugged and looked up as Roy came over. “Is it done?” 

“Yeah, just say the word.” Roy grinned and plopped down beside Jason. “Hey Tim, how’s it going?” 

“What are you gonna do Roy?” Tim raised his eyebrow. 

“Nothing you can prove.” Roy winked before looking out over the crowd. 

As if on cue, the lights all shut off, nothing but the emergency lights on. The fire alarms blared, and people were tripping over themselves to get out of the building. Tim, Jason and Roy melted into the crowd, effectively exiting the building and avoiding Bruce and Dick in the process. 

Tim tried to hide his grin and look worried for show, but he suspected he wasn’t doing a very good job. 

Roy was already gone, probably to get the car, when Tim turned around to face his brother. 

“Thanks Jay,” Tim said sincerely. 

“For what?” He scoffed. “I didn’t do it for you, I just like messing with Bruce.” Jason rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. 

Tim didn’t buy it. He knew Jason better than that by now. 

“Well, thank you anyways.” Tim insisted quietly, looking around. 

“Hey, Tim,” Jason started after a moment. “If you ever want to get out of these things without the dramatics, you tell Bruce you’ve got a... “ Jason looked around, as if remembering their surroundings- he couldn’t exactly bring up Tim’s night time activities. “Previous engagement. Me and Roy are going to be doing a lot more... traveling, and I wouldn’t mind having you along.” He offered. 

Tim nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind.” 

Jason nodded back, admittedly a little awkward, and looked to where Roy was waiting with the car. “That’s my ride.” A pause. “And, seriously Tim. You’re 17 and the CEO of one of the richest companies in the country. Fucking own that shit, okay? Some of these people can only dream of being as successful as you.” 

Tim processed that for a moment and nodded slowly. “I’ll keep that in mind too.” 

Jason glanced over at Roy again and back to Tim. “Catch ya later baby bird.” He said, and with that, Jason was gone. 

“I knew that ass showed up to cause trouble.” Dick’s voice came from behind Tim, who shrugged. 

“Could be worse.” He said simply and thought about it before moving past Dick, and past Bruce who was getting ready to step up and calm the crowd, and up onto the bottom step so he was raised a little over the crowd. 

“Everyone, please, remain calm,” Tim called out, raising his hands, trying to exude as much Jason confidence and Dick charisma and Bruce charm as possible, even adding an easy going Roy smile at the end. “The fire department should be on it’s way, but I’ve been informed that there was no fire, it was merely the new system adapting to the building. So please, relax, and once we are officially cleared, everyone can leave, with a bottle of the wonderful champagne you were all trying with the punch, courtesy of Wayne Enterprises for your troubles.” 

Everyone was murmuring and nodding and giving him all their attention. Tim stepped down and back into the crowd. 

“So he is the CEO,” he heard one of the women from earlier whisper as he passed.

“Wayne Enterprises is in good hands.” The second whispered back, and Tim’s posture straightened with pride. 

He should invite Jason to banquets more often.

[butwhyduh]

I love Dick Grayson, I really do, but I just can’t get over the fact that he’s a serial cheater and that he treated Kory like crap near the end of their relationship (idk why Dc made their relationship go sour in the first place).

Same with Barbra, she is such a good character especially as Oracle, but the whole, cheating in dick with his DAA (in Batman Beyond) and getting pregnant, sleeping with Batman in the killing joke, it just ruined her for me.

That’s honestly what I hate about Dc, they have the potential to create such well developed and fleshed out characters with interesting backstories and plenty of fan serving (PROFITABLE) content (because let’s be honest that’s why Dc kills off and brings back and reboots so many characters and universes, profit).

But dc is so content on being edgy and dramatic by getting their characters involved in these stupid love-triangle clusterfucks. It’s lame and frustrating!

Sorry for ranting I just really needed to get that off of my chest 😅

-🪐 anon

Canon has no home here.

I actually had another ask talk about dick cheating. In a comic dick went to Barbara’s house, had sex with her, and then gave her a wedding invite for his and Kori’s wedding. My internet is being a bitch so I can’t post panels but it’s bad. Truly awful stuff. Idk if it’s canon but it isn’t to me. There is no logical reason that the heart of dc would be a straight up cheat. No one would trust him. For any reason even outside relationship stuff.

I personally think it’s a case of horny writers that want certain characters together but don’t want to do the work of breaking other characters up so they just have them cheat.

Like there is no fucking way I’d believe that Babs would fuck Bruce goddamn Wayne after getting with Dick. The only way I could ever see that happening is in an alternate universe where dick doesn’t exist and even then it’s a creepy mentor student relationship because her dad is Bruce’s age. And she’s not going to randomly get pregnant.

Tim was straight up a cheater because dc had him dating 2 different characters at one time in 2 different runs and honestly I think that’s because they didn’t communicate. But he’s a douche half the time and super ooc.

They have Jason scared of commitment but reading the classics and acting all romantic. Like he’d be dreaming of white picket fences, okay?

Kori goes through the whole innocent but fuckable phases way too often. Like she’s incredibly hot but doesn’t know anything because she forgot her memory. She gets with Roy and Jason because she can’t remember her old life at one point. Eewwww. Hi consent?

Bruce is straight up abusive and hitting his sons instead of being a good dad. Damian becomes a villain over and over 🙄. Cass’s language skills regress all the time. Steph goes back and forth between skilled and useless for plot. Duke is forgotten way too often by canon.

I love DC and hate it at the same time and cherry pick what I like to be my canon lmao

[ectonurites]

for the character headcannons ask game, jason and cass?

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT im putting this one under a cut because it got SUPER long bc i cant shut up ever

lets start w jason

A (realistic headcanon): 

ok using the ‘realistic’ category here loosely but GOD i love the idea of Damian & Jason having interacted while Jason was staying with the League before getting dunked in the Lazarus Pit. like. this obviously would need to be set more in preboot and following the Lost Days & Batman Annual 25 version of Jason’s resurrection, but god the idea of it just makes me scream in a good way. Like... these are things Jason likely doesn’t remember very clearly once he’s brought back to life more fully by the pit because he was uh pretty catatonic, but Damian being a little kid and knowing about the boy that his mother keeps around the base, that she’s trying to help bring back to health. Damian not even knowing that’s his big brother, just that he’s a presence that shares his mother’s attention. Jason again being unresponsive but like, ok god you know that part of lost days where Talia shows the others observing him that he only fights back at those he perceives as genuine threats trying to hurt him, 

Because Jason can perceive that she’s safe, she’s not actually trying to hurt him, he trusts her because she saved him? thinking about lil child Damian who is ya know already being trained in fighting stuff and like the idea of him trying to provoke Jason just to see what happens but Jason not fighting back because on some level be it his connection to Talia or even little baby Damian visually reminding him of Bruce, he knows that Damian is safe too 🥺 

and then when Jason and Damian meet again in Gotham as Red Hood & Robin respectively, Jason not really remembering because there was so much going on back then for him, but Damian realizing that oh... that was Him

B (hilarious): 

alright so if we are looking at comics currently, in modern stuff jason is what, like 22? hes old enough to drink in the US but still definitely early 20s so around my around my age, thats what im using as a basis here. if we adjust timeline and still consider his death having happened when he was 15, that puts it around 2013. and then coming back to like interacting with people about three years later if we still kinda base things off of the preboot timeframe (since we never got a super solid retelling of the timeline of death -> resurrection -> training -> tries to get revenge aside from knowing he went to the all-caste instead of the lost days version of the story) making him reenter the regular world and stuff around age 18 in 2016. meaning a solid three years of pop culture that he was entirely missing, and like im sorry but he really doesn’t strike me as the type to bother looking into what he missed, he’s kinda busy focusing on other stuff. lets take a quick look at some major things from those years. 2013 gave us ‘what does the fox say’ and ‘the harlem shake’ . 2014 had that time U2 just put a fuckin album on everyone’s phones, The Fault In Our Stars movie came out. 2015 introduced the phrase ‘Netflix and Chill’ and the whole blue & black vs gold & white dress debate happened. imagine any of the other batkids (or even arguably roy during rhato stuff) bringing these things up and jason’s ensuing confusion. thank you for your time

C (heart-crushing): 

so. there are two specific instances from rebirth era Jason i want to bring up here and much like a lot of these it’s less a headcanon and more of an inference based on observations, but i wanna take a sec to discuss Jason’s relationship with other people’s death. early in rebirth, Tim ‘dies’ from that whole thing in detective comics. he didn’t actually die, we as readers know, but in-universe they all very much so thought he was dead. frustratingly a lot of the batfam wasn’t really shown mourning him aside from in the Detective Comics Rebirth title itself (which just. when a major character dies even if its temporary- that should have a ripple effect) BUT an exception to that is in RHATO 2016, where we get this offhanded comment in Jason’s internal monologuing

similarly later when Roy, who like, had an incredibly close relationship w Jason that had just gotten mended before Heroes in Crisis, gets fuckin murdered in that whole thing... Jason doesn’t go to his funeral either. He leaves a dramatic voice mail and then visits the grave on his own later, choosing to instead keep working on the mission they’d started rather than going and taking the time to mourn properly.

Jason’s relationship with death is incredibly complicated, obviously. He has died, he has come back, and he now is willing to cross the line most other bats won’t and will kill people when he deems it necessary. I think thats something important though- he doesn’t just like... go around killing for fun (usually, some writers preboot made him a little murder happy but even then usually this still was vaguely followed) he kills people he thinks deserved it. Like, even looking back at the mess of Morrison’s Jason during Batman & Robin 2009, Jason was still trying to bring a sense of justice with who he was killing (”punishment that fits the crime”), it wasn’t killing for the sake of killing. He sees things in this kind of almost black and white ‘people who deserve it’ and ‘people who don’t’ way, and he has no problem dealing with death when it’s with the people he thinks deserve it. 

but when someone who doesn’t in his mind ‘deserve it’ gets killed? i think he just goes into total avoidance mode. throws himself into other things he’s doing, tries not to dwell on it too much no matter how much he still thinks about it (this is especially evident in him consistently telling people “i’m fine!” after what happened to Roy, despite bringing Roy up literally like every few issues for a WHILE after he died and very clearly still struggling with it, Artemis is the only one who gets through to him on it a little bit) 

but yeah, I just think that from Jason’s relatively unique situation of having been murdered, he knows what it’s like and he is perfectly fine wishing that on people he thinks are bad and deserve it, but it crushes him to imagine the people he loves and cares about having to experience something as painful as what he went through. not to mention the whole “I came back, why do I get a second chance at all this when they, who are a much better person than I am, probably won’t” mindset we get some implications of him having 

D (canon is a coward and won’t) 

hello DC i am once again insisting a batfam member is bisexual

CASS TIME

A (realistic headcanon): 

ok so we know cass likes ballet. thats canon. however i think we also should in general explore cass experiencing other types of dance/performance as well, be it herself as a performer or even just watching. like... god imagine her & like my brain just automatically for group activities puts her with tim steph and duke but also for this in particular I feel would be a Jason embraced activity, but like them going to see a broadway show or some other professional theatre or something, and her just being enthralled by the reading of body language of the performers! like again by any point in current stuff cass does have like, the ability to speak fine (reading still hard tho) but even so I think like. okay im a theatre kid if that’s not obvious from the Everything About Me but one thing I always do after seeing a show is ya know spend dinner afterwards discussing it with whoever i saw it with.

I just think that like, bringing those people i just mentioned to the table to discuss seeing a show after would be so FASCINATING because cass would bring this whole perspective of critiquing their acting on a whole different level- not based on how well they delivered lines out loud, but by what their body language was saying as they moved on stage. like im very amused by the idea of cass getting a totally different picture in her mind about what a character’s motivations were because she was paying way more attention to what their physicality was saying vs the words that were written and how they were delivered. i think the debates her and the others would have would be EPIC there. jason defending the text as it was written adamantly and cass being like ‘ok yeah sure but thats not what they did’

B (hilarious): 

cass having no concept of money because why would she bother? is SO funny to me. like it’s not that she couldn’t be reasonable if she wanted to, but like, she knows that the Waynes are well off so it’s not something she actually needs to be concerned about, so she just goes hog wild. takes steph out to fancy dinners and makes steph order for them since cass ya know doesn’t really read the menus, and steph’s like ‘jesus christ this costs-” “don’t worry about it” “but cass-” and she just holds up one of bruce’s credit cards and steph’s still like “but you don’t even know the range-” “it is fine”

bruce does not have the heart to tell her to stop

C (heart-crushing): 

i mean this is pretty much canon but especially now after death metal where she’s remembering, not just being told by a guy using weird alternate timeline technology, that she used to be an adopted member of the Wayne family... like that hurts so bad. To look at these people who have ya know been kind to her, Bruce has still been a father-like figure to her (i mean literally from the moment they met in New 52 canon during the flashback in Batman & Robin Eternal, where he’s telling her that she’s not a monster just because of what people forced her to do.... that she’s a hero... that hug.... dad behavior), and they do to some extent treat her as family... But to then really know, to feel and remember that she was actually adopted! She was a part of their family. To look at how she’s been calling herself Orphan while working with them this whole time... that’s so heartbreaking! I have cried about this idea so much! I want so badly a conversation between her and Bruce now where he offers to officially adopt her again, I need it so bad and if it doesn’t happen at some point in the next year or two I will be so distraught.

D (canon is a coward and won’t) 

i want an in-depth exploration of cass’ relationship to her own gender. being raised without language and you know with so much of her life being independent (remember: CASS RAN AWAY AROUND THE WORLD WITHOUT REALLY KNOWING ANY SPOKEN LANGUAGE) and outside of an organized society impressing too much of gender expectations on her, i feel like the way she experiences it would be very unique! like sure she’s so far been fine with being assigned ‘girl’ (ya know that comes with batgirl, and how people just automatically treated her based on how she looks) but in terms of gender expression and like her actual relationship with ‘traditional femininity’ etc like... because of how she was raised I just think she’d have a really different perspective on it that could be cool to explore, and I think she’d fall outside of the binary after she really thinks about how she identifies.

tldr on that: she/they nb cass is what i’m getting at here

Dream SMP/Batfam

This is my reasoning for connections between Dream SMP members and the Bats. This was all just for fun, but feel free to give feedback if you’d like! And do say if I’ve made a mistake. I haven’t done everyone, so if there’s anyone else you’d like me to do, lemme know! Please read, I spent a good while on this :D

Batman (Bruce Wayne)/Technoblade: Technoblade's Dream SMP origin story starts with his parents dying, so the backstory fits. He swears to kill all orphans because of the way they killed his parents (Similar to the way Bruce wanted to stop crime from running rampant in Gotham). Techno is also, technically, an orphan as Bruce was. I've always imagined Bruce's voice to be kinda like Techno's, especially that monotone tone he uses, and especially when he's Batman and not Bruce Wayne. Bruce Wayne is -Bat-man and Technoblade is a pig, need I elaborate? Both of them seem to stay up till ungodly times of the day, and I'm sure their sleep schedules are never on the same clock as anyone else's, Bruce's because of his vigilante lifestyle and Techno because... well, he's a Minecraft YouTuber. Both of them have a father figure, although not biological. They also have a friendly rivalry with a fellow content creator/hero (Cough Dream/Superman cough). We say Dick/Wilbur is dramatic, but you can't possibly mean to tell me Batman/Technoblade isn’t subtly more dramatic. They practically invented being dramatic in their respective businesses.

Alfred Pennyworth/Philza Minecraft: Is the father figure to Batman/Technoblade. Is really a force of chaos but everyone pictures them as a soft, loving dad because we all have parental issues and we need more father figures. Both of them are very badass in their own ways. Old and British. Here's a parallel I thought was pretty cool. Philza had been building up his hardcore world for 5 years before he died. It was like his home disappeared in front of his eyes as he fell away from his life. I'm not sure which continuity/arc this is from (Please do not hate on me, I am but a small child) bUT I do know that Alfred died of a heart attack/stroke at the same time the Wayne Manor was destroyed. His home was destroyed as he died. Just as Philza's had been.

Damian Wayne/TommyInnit: Is never really loved by anyone at first glance (From the fandoms). Tommy's the loud, annoying one, Damian's the grouchy, haughty one. But everyone eventually gravitates towards their characters later on. Their families were wary of them at first but grew to love them. Both of them are the youngest, and generally angriest child. Both are not American, Tommy being British and Damian, Arabic. They both have ICONIC mothers. MotherInnit is a queen, we all know this. If she can handle Tommy, she can handle absolutely anything. Talia Al Ghul has a reputation of her own right, and while she hasn't quite the pristine repertoire, she definitely strikes a strong mark on people. Now, this is a dumb connection between the two, but hair!! Tommy’s seems nice and floofy while Damian's is generally drawn spiky, and I think that's a cool contrast. Their love for pets is also important to note. Tommy's the one that's known for starting wars over the deaths of his pets, and it's easy to know that Damian wouldn't hesitate to hurt someone if they did anything to Titus or Batcow. It’s been shown on multiple occasions that he loves his pets a lot.

Jon Kent/Tubbo_: Best friends with Tommy/Damian. Do not try to argue that Jon and Damian aren't best friends because come onnn. And PLEASE do not take this as a dumb excuse to ship Tommy and Tubbo, as I know people ship Dami and Jon. Both are the embodiment of chaos wrapped in kindness, and both are definitely the more stable of their friendship with the other gremlin children. I am confident that both would probably refer to their parents as mother and father dearest. You cannot convince me otherwise. Tubbo has already done so, and Jon would never disrespect his parents, so this would obviously be the next best alternative for when he is upset by them. Jon’s powers fluctuate upon shifts in emotion and he can’t really control his powers, like the shifting of Tubbo’s alter egos. We never know when Toob or Big Law will creep out of the shadows.

Dick Grayson/Wilbur Soot: (Second) most dramatic in the family, though perceived as the drama queen because of their boisterous personalities. The one that was probably a theatre kid in school. The lighthearted one that keeps everyone cheerful, but also the one with the easiest path to a horrid descent into madness. They have a flair for drama, the glitter and sparkles to Batman/Technoblade’s sombre smoke and haze, which is why they work together so well. The closest family member to Tommy/Damian. Their little brother/big brother dynamics are just impeccable. Both are the most simped for by their respective fanbases (from what I’ve seen). The token pretty boys. Both artistically talented in different ways, with Wilbur’s music and Dick’s acrobatic skills. Also the ones that get constantly shipped with every woman they literally even look at. They also express their dramatic tendencies through their clothes, Dick with his jazzy Discowing suit and Wilbur’s dramatic L’manburg outfit.

Superman/Dream: The OP gods, need I say more? Friendly rivals with Technoblade/Batman. Very often perceived as ‘Perfect’ which they are not, but many refuse to accept that. A funny parallel I drew was the fact that both of them are famous in their own rights, but can just walk around and not get recognised despite millions of people knowing their online/superhero identities. Both are technically not human.

Stephanie (Batgirl/Spoiler)/Sapnap: Both of their names start with S! Not my only reasoning, but I’ll take it into account anyway. Both are basic looking in my head (Blue eyes blonde hair for Steph?? There’s at least 3 other girls that look EXACTLY like her in the nearby DC universes. And Sapnap blends in with every other white boy, though I love him regardless.) but both also have immaculate personalities to make up for it. They’re the most normal people out of all their co-streamers/superheroes in my eyes, also my favourites. (I didn’t realise as I put them together that I loved them most but here we are). They’re both great at dumb banter. They don’t have huge, hilarious bits often or any constant jokes that are pulled on time and time again, but their general atmosphere makes everything seem like a joke. They may not be the best at what they do in their friend groups but are actually really good nonetheless and do not get due credit for their effort and talent sometimes. Has a warring relationship with Damian/Tommy (Sapnap over the pets and Steph and Dami didn’t have the most friendly relationship at the start)

Jason/BBH- Same but opposite but same. Exists to cause chaos. I wouldn’t have associated these two with each other till the Badlands became a thing… but then the Badlands became a thing and I had to. Now, I know that technically Bad doesn’t have a grudge against Techno, but Jason would totally set up a whole empire just to mess with Bruce’s plans, just to get in the way, to instigate, to fan the flames of the fire till he’s driven Bruce to his breaking point. Bad isn’t exactly trying to do that, but he’s only around for the chaos. He’s only here for his own benefit, and he’s only here for that because of the hurt caused to him by the nation he came from. A parallel being Jason causing havoc because of the pain Bruce caused him. Besides, both have a cool red and black colour scheme, and both wear jacket!! Both are also technically not alive (If we're considering BBH as a demon).

Roy Harper/Skeppy: I have absolutely no explanation for this, but it just Fits. Besides, they have cool opposing colour schemes and are best friends with BBH/Jason!!

Aaaand last but not least

Jason/Technoblade: Now you must be thinking But Kaly you already spoke about them! And yes, I did, and they do go really well with their respective characters but I couldn’t simply ignore the connection between these two, so I thought I might as well write about it. Technoblade was an English major (If I remember correctly) before he dropped out to pursue his youtube career. Jason, though this may not be a well-known fact, was a definite literature nerd at school before he met his demise. Their cut off education in English is an interesting parallel to me. Both of them also have destructive tendencies, with Technoblade being an anarchist and Jason periodically running an underground empire to make sure he can do whatever the hell he wants to. They don’t generally care who they hurt on their way to reach their end goal. Jason’s reckless shooting and killing clearly shows this, as he continuously justifies his actions by saying he’s ending crime rather than just making it wait in line for its turn to pop up again, while Technoblade’s release of the withers and excessive use of his firework crossbow clearly shows that the deaths of the residents of L’manburg do not matter to him as long as he abolishes the government.

Fic: Never Set Me Free

It’s Jason Todd’s birthday! Here is me being self-indulgent about his issues and also Roy’s issues and how those issues somehow magically fit together perfectly:

-

Roy leaned carefully against the door handle, pushing it down with his hip until it clicked loose. There was an art to easing the bedroom door open while holding two full mugs of coffee, but Roy had mastered it ages ago.

It was barely dark in their bedroom this late in the morning. Jason was a tangled lump in the exact middle of the bed, the sheets completely stolen the second Roy had gotten up. Once a thief, always a thief, Roy thought with a fond smile.

He put Jason’s coffee down on the nightstand on the far side of the bed and the other mug down on his own nightstand, then sat on the mattress and bent down. “Jaybird,” he sang softly in Jason’s ear. “Rise and shine, little birdie.”

Jason groaned into the pillow. “Kill you,” he mumbled.

Roy laughed. “No you won’t. I brought you coffee.”

Jason sighed, then rolled over onto his back and opened his eyes. His cheek was red from being pressed up against the pillow and his hair looked like it had been styled by tornado. Roy would have fallen in love with him right then and there if he hadn’t already done so years ago. “You’re the worst.”

Roy brushed a haphazard curl out of Jason’s eyes. “I think my favorite thing about you is what a morning person you are.”

“Ugh.” But Jason hooked two fingers into the collar of Roy’s shirt and pulled him down for a kiss. His breath was a little sour but Roy didn’t care. “Lian get onto the school bus okay?”

“Yeah, she says hi, and that she wants you to meet her at the bus stop this afternoon and not me.” Roy lay down and Jason rolled onto his side to face him. They played every day by ear, depending on who was out working late and who was home with Lian; Jason hadn’t made it home until nearly three last night, so Roy had let him sleep and dealt with the chaos of getting Lian and her backpack and her lunchbox and her seventy-three permission slips onto the school bus by himself.

“Oh ho ho, who’s the favorite now?” Jason asked.

“One hundred percent you and we both know it.” Roy couldn’t even pretend to be annoyed by it. Jason, for all his skittish I don’t know anything about kids when they’d gotten together, was wonderful with Lian, and she adored him. Letting Jason be the Cool Dad was a price Roy would gladly pay for somehow stumbling into a magnitude of happiness he was still pretty sure he didn’t deserve.

Jason’s smile was smug and Roy couldn’t resist kissing him again, a little longer, a little deeper, before letting him go with a sigh. “I should get up.”

“What do you have going on today?” Jason asked, sitting up enough to pick up his coffee.

“I need to go through those phone records we tapped the other night, see if I can figure out where those city council funds are being siphoned off to,” Roy said. “And Donna’s in town so I’m meeting her for lunch. You?”

“Oh, this and that.” Jason put his mug back down and leaned in to kiss Roy. “Thought I’d start with this.”

Roy met him halfway, let Jason put him on his back and climb half on top of him. There was plenty of time before he had to start getting ready for lunch for them to fool around - and the truth was, he would have let Jason have his way even if he had been pressed for time. All these years and he still had absolutely zero resistance to Jason’s touch.

Not that he was complaining.

Jason kissed his way over Roy’s jaw to mouth at his throat until he hit the spot that always made Roy’s toes curl. Roy let out a low gasp and felt Jason smile before he started sucking what was sure to be a livid bruise against Roy’s pale skin.

“Ugh, baby, that’s gonna show,” Roy said, trying to gently push Jason’s head lower with a hand in his hair.

“Deal with it,” Jason mumbled against his skin, and kept going.

“Jason, stop!” Roy said, laughing. “Donna already knows we’re dating, you don’t have to brand me like a prize bull.”

Jason went tense and still on top of him. Roy frowned and craned his neck to try to see his face. “Jay…?”

“I’m not...I wasn’t…” Jason said, looking down.

Roy tilted his chin up with a finger and was surprised to see Jason looking embarrassed. “Wait, did you think I couldn’t tell?” he asked, smiling. “Every time I’m going to see one of my exes, you give me a hickey somewhere they can see. Or lend me your jacket. I mean, Christ, the last time we met up with Jade so Lian could see her, you had your hand in my back pocket pretty much the entire time. She knows my ass is yours, Jay, it’s kind of overkill.”

He kept his tone playful to lighten the suddenly awkward mood, but Jason still looked mortified and almost...guilty? His eyes kept darting back and forth but never meeting Roy’s.

“I didn’t mean to...sorry,” he said, shifting away.

“It’s okay,” Roy said, frowning. He could read Jason pretty well after all this time, but he hadn’t expected this reaction. “If it had bothered me, I would have said something. I know you get jealous, Jason, it’s not a problem for me.”

“I’m not - !” Jason started, then clamped his mouth shut.

“Jay - ”

“Sorry. I’ll stop. I didn’t mean to make it weird.” Jason pulled all the way off him, like he was going to climb out of bed. “Sorry.”

“Oh, for fuck’s sake - ” Roy grabbed Jason and pinned him to the bed, straddling his hips to pin him down. Jason didn’t put up a fight, but he didn’t look thrilled about it, either. “Stop apologizing. I fucking love it.”

That got Jason to meet his eyes for the first time. “What?”

“I know, okay?” Roy said. “I’ve always known. You’re not subtle, Jaybird. Even before we got together, you were territorial - and it’s not just with my exes, because I never dated Dick and you get all squirrelly when I’m around him, too. Sometimes I think I should just get a ‘Property of Jason Todd’ tattoo and save us all some time.”

“Okay, okay, I get it,” Jason said, looking away. His expression was miserable.

“I don’t think you do.” Roy leaned down, hands on either side of Jason’s head. “I. Love. It. I love wearing your jacket out. I love when you put your hand on my ass in public like you were raised in a barn. I love that little move where you find an excuse to whisper in my ear and you put your hand right here - ” he rested his hand low on Jason’s hip “ - when you do it.” He reached up with that same hand and brushed a curl off of Jason’s forehead. “You want everyone to know I belong to you. Baby, so do I.”

The furrow in Jason’s brow got a little less pronounced. Good. He was listening. “It’s not that I think that you’d...I trust you. You know that, right?”

“Of course I do.” Roy would never forget it. Jason’s trust was a fragile, precious thing, and Roy would always be grateful for the miracle of having earned it.

“I just…” Jason’s teeth worried at his lower lip. “You’ve been with a lot of people.”

“Can’t believe you’re calling me slutty while I’m trying to have a serious conversation here,” Roy said, but he huffed so dramatically he knew Jason would know he was kidding, even as inside his own head as he was right now.

“Shut up,” Jason said, pinching his side lightly and making Roy laugh. “I mean, everyone wants you.”

“Okay, first of all, that is extremely not true, but feel free to say it as often as you want,” Roy said. “And second…” Now it was his turn to break eye contact. “Plenty of people have wanted me, sure. But no one…”

He hesitated, looking away. Jason waited.

“No one else ever wanted me enough to bother being jealous over me,” Roy said finally, trying to keep his tone light.

Jason reached up, turned Roy back to face him, and though his cheeks were still pink, he didn’t look embarrassed or guilty anymore. There was also no judgment on his face, which Roy had been half-afraid to see even though he knew, intellectually, he never would. It was why they worked.

“Come here,” Jason murmured, and pulled him down for a kiss before wrapping his arms around Roy’s ribcage and holding him close. Roy sprawled out on top of him, his cheek tucked against Jason’s shoulder.

“You’re not the only one who gets insecure,” he mumbled into Jason’s collarbone. “But I’m not the Robin mantle, or being the favorite son, or...whatever. You don’t have to be the bigger person about sharing me. I don’t want you to.” He shifted so he could look up at Jason. “I’m yours. I love being yours.”

And the look on Jason’s face, the soft one that only Roy got to see...well, it made saying the hard, vulnerable things totally worth it.

Jason leaned in to kiss him, gently at first and then more urgently, rolling them over until he was pinning Roy down again. “You’re mine,” he said, pulling back, his eyes intent on Roy’s.

Roy shivered. “Yes.”

“I’m never letting you go.”

“Good.”

“I will absolutely fight Donna for you.”

“Please do not do that, she has super strength and I like you in one piece,” Roy said, grinning. “Also I’m pretty sure she has no interest in fighting you for me.”

“Then she’s a lot dumber than I thought she was.”

“First of all, don’t be rude about my friend, and second of all, it doesn’t matter,” Roy said, pulling him down for another kiss. “You already won.”

He recognized the heat in Jason’s eyes, and the hungry way Jason’s mouth captured his, and had to pull away for a second, laughing. “Leave as many hickeys as you want,” he said, “but if I’m walking funny when I get to lunch, Donna will make fun of me.”

Jason nipped at his jaw, his hands moving purposefully downwards. “Sounds like a you problem.”

Roy slung an arm around his neck and arched into his touch. “Save it for when I come home to you, Jaybird.”

Jason sighed, long-suffering. “Oh, fine,” he said. “But then what am I supposed to do with you now?”

And as Roy pulled him down for another kiss, he knew he was going to end up being late for lunch. “Oh, I’m sure you’ll think of something.”

Can I still have my Happy Ever Ending ? (2/2)

Hi, this is still my participation for day 01 of @omegajasontoddweek

Day 01 : breastfeeding

Part 01

Hope you will enjoy it !

                                                     ~*~

Roy gives birth to a beautiful boy in good health.

Jade chose the name for Lian.

Jason chose the name for Eliza.

So it’s naturally that Roy choose the name for their baby boy.

Every member from their families receives a photo of their little boy telling:

“We’re glad to presented you our little baby boy, Brave Harper.”

Almost immediately, they call them wanting to come to the hospital. Roy refuses. Even if his childbirth was easy, especially in comparison of Jason’s, he still pretty exhausted and want some time alone with his newborn and his daughters and his husband.

“They agree to wait till next week. They will see to all come the same day. They will tell us when they will come.

-Grandpa Ollie and Grandpa Brucie will come see us?” Lian asks her eyes sparkling with impatience

Roy and Jason should have a conversation with them about always bring present to their grandchildren. They start to be spoiled.

“They may not bring present, you know?” Jason tells her to see her reaction

She shrugs her shoulder like she doesn’t quite believe him but doesn’t say anything.

They really need to talk with Oliver and Bruce.

“He is bigger than Eliza, isn’t he? Lian asks. Is it because he’s a boy?

-No, our little Eliza was born a little early it’s for that.”

Jason takes Eliza in his arms and kisses her. Unconsciously or not, he always gives her more gesture of tenderness every time her birth is mentioned.

But this horrible story become each day part of the past and they success focus at the happy things that happen every day.

Today, it’s the birth of their son.

                                                      ~*~

Roy is breastfeeding Brave in their living room. Despite Jason producing milk too, he never proposes to feed their son.

Honestly, Roy is glad that he didn’t. Roy didn’t produce milk while Jason was pregnant with Eliza, and Jade and he were in contact when she was pregnant with Lian.

Brave is his first kid he can have some bonding time like that. And he wants to enjoy every minute he can get.

Especially since he remembers how Jason was so upset the months following when he stopped to breastfeeding Eliza. At the moment, he was thinking that Jason must have dramatized the situation. Now, he doesn’t understand why Jason didn’t breastfeed Eliza until she was old enough to say no.

Roy is sure that he will become one of this omega that keep breastfeeding their kids until they are six or eight years old.

He sighs deeply, looking as his glutton boy.

“Fortunately, your dad has enough sense for both of us. He will prevent me for doing something so stupid.”

Once Brave has finished eating and burping, Roy dress up and puts his baby in his playpen. Brave is still too young for doing much for now, he doesn’t know how to walk yet. But he loves being in his playpen with all his blanket and plush that smell like his family. It’s sometimes that he simply laugh between it.

                                                        ~*~

When Jason comes back from his work after pick up Lian and Eliza, he is impatient to take off his bra. He changes during the day of bra but it still dirty. Despite not having been pregnant, he still produces too much milk. And his chest hurts him so much. The doctor wasn’t surprised or worried when he learned about it, they saw that happen in an only omega couple expecting. But it’s a pain in his ass.

Sometimes he thinks of breastfeeding Brave too. But it doesn’t find fair for Roy so he never does it.

“Maybe for the next kid, we could share the breastfeeding. Jason occasionally thinks. No doubt even if I’m the one pregnant, if we live together we should both produce milk.”

Every time he realizes about what he thinks, he blushes and force himself to think of something else.

Most of the time, Jason can’t ask for more. He has everything he wished when he was a kid.

But now and then, he keeps dreaming about maybe having a bigger family.

Real Housewives (sort of) of Gotham

by brandywine421

Selina is curious to a fault but she has a twinge of concern at her almost-stepson's name popping up on her personal line.  They were allies and frenemies, depending on who was Brucie's favorite pet at the moment but he usually texts birthday wishes and xoxo's instead of actual voice contact.  "Is everyone okay?"

"Oh, yeah - sorry, didn't really think this far ahead."

Dick is what, twenty-two, twenty-five or something?  "Are you okay?"

"You said that if B ever wasn't around and I needed a friend - I could call you."

Shit, she isn't sure she's ready for Brucie drama, he's pretty committed to their 'break' after the latest attempt at a wedding was canceled.  Best ratings the Real Housewives of Gotham has ever gotten, though.

"I am totally making this more dramatic than it needs to be - Selina, I'm having a small personal crisis and want to hide and lick my wounds for a few weeks without having to deal with B."

She reconsiders.  "You want to piss off your dad and sleep in my poolhouse?"

Titans S2E2: Rose, a review, I guess.

Here, have another bullet-pointed, kinda-review. Spoilers ahead!

This episode has awesome stuff, but it’s kind of choppy. We flash pretty quickly from scene to scene between pretty much all the Titans. We get Dick with the kiddos at the tower, Kori and Donna going after Shimmer, Hank and Dawn at their ranch in Wyoming. And then there’s the occasional jump to Rose or Dr. Light. It didn’t jump so much that it was confusing but it gave me the feeling that as soon as I was really into what was happening the scene moved on to something else and that left me disappointed. Luckily everyone seems to be coming together by the end of the episode so hopefully this won’t be an issue going forward.

Dick is getting super into the Big-Bro/Dad/Mentor thing and it’s kind of hilarious. After spending all last season trying to get rid of as much responsibility as possible he’s gone all-in on the mentorship thing to the point that it’s funny to me. He’s over here being super serious with his “Even your eyes can be taken from you!” sensei-thing, and having them read Sun Tzu, and making them food that is apparently terrible. No wonder he goes to that coffee shop all the time, his food is inedible I guess. Like, he’s trying so hard it’s a little manic, but endearing.

Dick is actually pretty great with Jason. Sending Jason with Dick was probably the best thing Bruce could have done because it’s clear that Dick is starting to get Jason where Bruce seemingly didn’t. Jason is complaining about being stuck in Cali and wants to go home to Gotham and Dick’s like, “Me and Bruce don’t think you’re ready, you were joyriding in the batmobile and the thing with the motorcycle and using the batcomputer inappropriately (seems like a porn reference), yada yada,” And Jason seems a bit dejected and upset. And you can see Dick looking at him, seeing how disheartened he is and he seems to get an idea and is like, “and besides, I could really use your help around here, you’re more skilled than the others, they don’t have your experience, everyone looks up to you, etc.” And like, yeah the first part is true, but it’s clear by the others reaction that they really don’t like Jason much or look up to him, Dick is just trying to cheer him up. Jason wants praise and recognition so bad. Even when he’s obviously being manipulated he just wants to believe it so much. That leads me to think this Bruce has been doing typical Bruce-things and maybe not giving Jason much positive reinforcement, which is probably contributing to Jason acting out.

I like Jason but it’s clear the Titans don’t. Last episode we saw bits of Donna and Hank and Dawn not exactly giving Jason a warm reception even though he really didn’t do anything to deserve it. And now in this one Gar and Rachel are icing him out a bit (referring to how he basically adopted Gar and Rachel, Dick says, “but I didn’t help Jason,” and Rachel rolls her eyes and says, “can anyone help Jason?”). Dick said they look up to Jay but that doesn’t seem like the case, I felt like he was just handling Jason. Do they defer to him when it comes to vigilante things, well yeah, maybe, but that’s not quite the same thing. I’m really hoping this isn’t the comics all over again, where everyone was said to pretty much universally dislike him outside of Donna and Eddie (after Jason’s character was rebooted). I know I’m a Jay-fan so I might be biased but aside from being a little cocky and mischievous there’s nothing we’ve seen him do to anyone that really warrants this kind of dislike, IMO. I’m hoping over the course of the season he proves himself to Gar and Rachel at least and they get along better. I want everyone to like Jason but even if they didn’t I would be fine with it if they at least disliked him for good reasons, and right now I haven’t seen anything to suggest their reasons are anything but shallow.

Kori and Donna interacting are a treasure. Kori and Donna clearly bonded over being badass chick who like to beat people up and have the same sassy sense of humor. They are constantly bickering but you get the impression they are loving every second of their verbal repartee. They are so hilarious. It’s interesting to see Kori interact with someone who is an ‘adult’ and isn’t Dick. I feel like with Donna more of that zest that Kori has in the comics but didn’t really last season, comes out. Before she was so focused on her mission she didn’t have time for herself and now she does and it’s great seeing her do Earth-things and finding them fun or interesting and enjoying herself. Kori loving Disco and Donna liking Madonna is so damn appropriate.

Roy foreshadowing!!! Donna’s contact that sent her after Shimmer is shown to be Roy Harper from her phone call. I have to wonder what version of Roy we are getting here. OG Roy-fans and Titans purists are probably going to hate me for this but hear me out...I want it to be the new version of Roy, in terms of personality and looks. Goofy genius-dumbass hillbilly with a heart of gold Roy. Look, I just feel like the other version of his character overlaps way too much with characters we already have, especially Donna. Say what you will about New 52 Roy, but he’s got character and personality, he stands out in a way I feel the other Roy didn’t, especially alongside Wally and Dick, who had very similar personalities, I feel. I’ll be happy with either version because it’s Roy but I think it would be interesting to see the New 52 alongside these characters, with his trucker hat and gadgets. Or maybe they could do a fusion, at least have his aesthetic. Everyone in this show kind of has a sameness that could be shaken up. We could use some comic relief, honestly. I hope we actually do see him this season though and it isn’t just foreshadowing something for next season.

The stuff with Hawk and Dawn was...fine. Basically after getting that ranch, Hank getting clean and presumably getting his surgery and retiring from heroing like they always dreamed/planned it all went up in smoke. I guess it was probably inevitable, to be honest. But there was this whole thing where Hank caught Dawn going out as Dove behind his back after they’d decided to stop and they were having a big important fight about it--and then it’s all rendered moot when Dr. Light destroys their whole life and they have to go to Cali and meet up with Dick. It just kind of seems like too easy of a way for the writers to resolve the situation. I hope this isn’t the end of Hank and Dawn’s argument because it was a really big deal. Hank was giving Dawn a break-up ultimatum if it’s never brought up again I’m going to be annoyed.

Rose has potential. I felt like the actress’s acting was a little stiff but that might have just been the choppiness of the scenes she was in, the sections were too small to get a real feel for her. I like her looks, she’s awesome in the action scenes and she has her powers/healing factor and all her comic abilities which is great. I feel like her writing is good though, and I’m interested to see is she’s actually on her own like she seems or if she’s a mole for her dad (I kind of feel like she’s a mole...). I hope we see JayRose though. I think him being interested in her is just a given, he called her a badass from seeing her fight. Whether she will have any interest in him back is more of a question, but I’m hopeful.

I wanted more Deathstroke. Not gonna lie, I wanted more Deathstroke. We saw a scene at the end where Jason found the connection between Rose and Slade, but that’s it. I have a feeling he’ll be in the next episode though.

Seriously, Ian Glenn is an awesome Batman. We got another great conversation between Bruce and Dick and I loved it so much, you guys. Give Ian Glenn a chance, people. I’m telling you the writing for Bruce is on point and the acting is great. He feels a lot like the DCAU-version to me, the one voiced by Kevin Conroy. I actually really like his voice in particular because it’s sort of deep like Conroy’s is, and he manages to put a lot of buried emotion into more or less flatly spoken words. The writing and the acting absolutely has that Bruce-thing where gives you answers in the most concise but cryptic way possible, acts all dramatic and he’ll seem unhelpful and kind of like a jerk and then he’ll say something profound and meaningful to let Dick know he actually does care about him a lot and it’s like...yeah, that’s the Bruce I’ve wanted, guys. he’s an asshole without really meaning to be but his intentions are good. It’s just so nice to have Titans!Bruce when comics!Bruce is such a nightmare right now...I really hope people who don’t like or doubt him will give Ian Glenn’s Bruce another chance, because I love him so much already. Yeah, his looks aren’t quite right but I’m getting used to it. The core of Bruce is there and that’s what’s really important.

And those were my main thoughts watching this episode. I loved it and it left me wanting more. It had some issues but nothing deal-breaking.

I just remembered that Damian went to hell when he died. So imagine like one day Damian get tired of Jason announcing that he died and stuff like that and that’s when he pulls out a trump card. Something like this-Jason: Did you die tho? Damian: did you go to hell tho??? and he did this in front of everyone at a hero convention. Like the dead silence that would go through. I promise I’m not crazy lololol.

Okokok so I promise this isn’t me dismissing your ask (cause I’ll answer it in just a sec) this just makes me think of some interesting comic history/facts. Specifically why Jason’s death is such a big deal.

So in comics everyone dies, like everyone. Is there a character you like? Well guess what– they’re going to die. But that’s okay, bc 9/10 they’ll come back to life. Don’t know how, don’t know when but they will. This is just a fact of the comic industry, characters die and come back to life. So if this is just a fact, why are some deaths/resurrections so significant? Well some are just hella well written so they become significant, some are so ingrained in the character that they can’t not be significant, some are so brutal that they stick with the audience, and some death arcs manage to defy long held comic books beliefs. In my opinion Jason’s death/revival fits those first three explanations very well. As for the last one, well, it’s not really up for debate, his resurrection went against a long held belief. That being that Jason Todd would be one of the few characters that would stay dead. I know that doesn’t sound super convincing or ground breaking but for a long time there was a saying, “no one stays dead except Bucky, Jason Todd, and Uncle Ben”. Like that was legitimately a saying. So when he came back to life it was a big deal. This was the Robin who was given a death sentence by the fans, this was the Robin who’s bloody body graced the cover of comics, this was the Robin who Batman could not save. Because of all of this, in an overarching comic history/literary sense, Jason’s death is a big deal. And that’s why Jason’s death is so harped on.

But any who, my nerd out aside, this could go down a couple of ways, but my personal fav would be this:

Jason, dramatically talking about his death to Roy, they’re with other members of the outlaws surrounded by the titans and the Justice League.

Damian: Tt. You are being over dramatic as usual.

Jason, glaring: The fuck does that mean?

Damian: You we’re not the only one to die Todd. And your death was not as horrible as you say.

Jason: I was beaten to a bloody pulp with a crowbar by a psychotic clown then blown up. Then, I woke up in a coffin and had to DIG MY WAY OUT! That’s pretty fucking traumatic.

Damian: At least you were not sentenced to an afterlife in hell, like I was.

Wally: Daaammmmmnnnnnn…

Everyone looks away awkwardly.

Jason: No, you’re right, honestly I don’t remember much from when I was dead. What I do remember is waking up in a pool of knock-off baja blast then spending months in hell, training with a demon brat who liked to randomly attack me. And his creepy ass relatives who used me as a pawn to get back at my dad.

Bruce: Did he call me dad?

Jason, blushing: NOT THE POINT!

Damian: Tt. Training with the league is not ‘hell’.

Jason: It is when a rabid toddler is constantly attacking you.

Damian: I did not constantly attack you!

Everyone goes silent. Jason and Damian look around, confused by the silence.

Jason: Why’s everyone so quiet?

Hal: YOU TRAINED WITH BABY SWORD DEMON?!

Damian: What did you just call me?

Diana: Not now child, there are more pressing matters.

Damian still looks offended.

Jason: Like what?

Clark: Like baby pictures, do you have any?

Jason: I- baby pictures?

Diana: Yes little bird. If there are pictures it is very important that we see them right now.

Jason: Why??

Diana: I must see the small assassin’s chubby baby cheeks.
