i feel like this is how Jason feels about both Tim and Cass bc they're both self-sacrificing idiots and they are bad for his blood pressure

(linked post) oh YES you're so right. the number of times both Tim and Cass have walked into a mission fully believing they would die and being okay with it makes me unwell. and it'd so deeply piss Jason off to have them constantly try to kill themselves over this thankless job. they're so noble and he loves them for it but man do they get on his nerves. atp Jason should keep both of them on a leash.

i think it's especially fun from the angle that Jason has died and doesn't want either of them to have to go through that too. bc he wouldn't really have any clue that Cass has died and been revived by the Lazarus Pit too, it's not like she broadcasts it. and for Cass her death was never a big deal and bc of that she never takes death as seriously as she should when she faces death down. Jason thinks it's a very cruel irony that Cass and Tim have the most headstrong morals about killing and yet they're the *most* self sacrificial of the whole Batfam. it reminds me if that BruDick panel where Bruce very angrily tells Dick that Dick trying to kill himself still goes against the killing rule and it's just as bad? like that being the argument *Jason* of all ppl has to resort to is so good. he never thought he'd be arguing *for* a no kill rule but if it makes them listen then fuck it.

i also think it's fun if Jason goes to questionable lengths to stop Tim and Cass from going out when they're hurt, or going on missions that would get themselves killed. Cass wants to face down Shiva? Jason is drugging her and tying her to their bed. Tim has a concussion and three cracked ribs? Jason's straight-up handcuffing TIm to Jason's wrist so he can keep an eye on him. bc he loves them. he does not trust them. loving them means knowing he can never trust them and he has to go to any lengths to keep them alive. and he will not listen to them argue about it whatsoever. sometimes love comes with control, yk. it's such good food.
