this gets funnier the longer i think about it. wdym jason’s time in gotham was ultimately meaningless and now he’s going to a sister-city with a very literal name in another language where he’s going to investigate an ongoing series of crimes related to cops. and also a member of the original bop is involved. interesting. should we call amy rohrbach

I like in Teen Titans that Robin’s mask is just as expressive as like cartoon spidey masks. Especially when they do this thing:

OR WHEN HE DOES THIS:

he’s so silly I love him lmao

I think it'd be funny if the identity reveal was super anticlimactic. Clark has an interview scheduled with Bruce Wayne about some new project or initiative the company is doing and he walks into Bruce's office and sits down and through a combination of sounds/smells/matching injuries/whatever just immediately recognizes him as Batman and is so surprised he can't contain his reaction and he's just like "Batman...?"

And Bruce loses the Brucie Wayne posture immediately, rolls his eyes and just says, unsurprised and a bit condescending, "Superman."

And then they just sit there in silence, staring at each other, Clark very confused and Bruce clearly annoyed at how quickly Superman recognized him. And when it becomes clear Bruce isn't going to say anything further, Clark looks down at his notes where he has some questions written down and, without knowing what else to do, just awkwardly starts with the first question.

The following interview is one of the strangest he's ever done. Bruce gives some very typical Brucie Wayne answers but all completely deadpan, hardly any inflection. He's also clearly grumpy the entire time. Aside from Bruce not acting like Brucie Wayne, there is no further mention or acknowledgement of their superhero identities. Clark goes back to Metropolis in a daze and still isn't convinced that the whole thing wasn't a fever dream.

It would be incredible to explore something where Slade and only Slade is aware of the 4th wall and his origins as a comic book character.

Imagine him knowing everything he’s been through and done as a character is because an author decided Dick Grayson, the person he’s always been chasing, the person whose pull he simply cannot escape, needed an enemy.

Imagine how insane that would make anyone, but especially Slade.

I feel like that would be something so fun to play around with especially when you include all of the history with Grant, Joey, and Rose specifically?

God the possibilities. Him making that Dick’s problem too? How would he go about it? Would he try to explain or would he simply go insane? Would he throw everything into killing Dick for the millionth time?

He’s the trophy. He’s the prize. It’s always always him and Slade is just a slave to the narrative…but so is Dick.

THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY MADE MY FUCKING DAY

BRO WHY DOES HE LOOK LIKE HES ABOUT TO BURST INTO TEARS 😭😭😭

[burned-scones]

I don’t know where when or how this comes about but I’m thinking about a scenario where Roy finally just loses it.

Maybe Jason’s done something fucked up again and Dick is joking it off because what else can you do. Maybe it’s Jason himself, during a team-up, saying something that strikes Roy’s nerves just right. Maybe it’s a conversation with some of the arrow fam where he has Realizations™ and then he’s demanding Wally speed him off to Gotham to scream in Jason’s face.

It’s vicious. It’s cruel. It tears apart all of the history he’s watched since he first heard the name Jason Todd uttered by Dick and mid rant he realizes just how much of who Dick is, is because of Jason Todd and Bruce Wayne. He’s pissed about Mia. He’ll ALWAYS be pissed about what that motherfucker did to Mia. Locking her in her school to blow it up???? HELLO?????

And yeah he was always pissed about the batfam with Dick…but damn? Mid-rant his third eye opens wide as fuck as he sees it all play out.

Jason given Robin without Dick’s initial permission. The fact that Bruce adopted him. The double whammy of Jason dying after calling Dick and Bruce blaming Dick and hurting him. The hallucinations. The self-blame and desperation to protect any Robin that comes up next. The insane devotion to Bruce and to the family that has time and time again negatively affected Dick and his life. And he lets it ALL out on Jason. (His rant to Bruce will come once he learns about Spyral :) )

He’s screaming in his face. He’s throwing every shitty thing Jason has ever done at him and how no matter what, Dick always has another bone to throw, another straw to take on, more patience than a fucking saint. Well Roy refuses. He has no more fucks and a camel with a broken back and zero patience. He’s seen the fallout of what Jason did to Mia and Dick and god knows who else (so many people. He’s hurt so many people.) and he refuses to pretend any longer. He needs Jason to shut the fuck up and get over it already because Jesus fucking Christ Lian fucking died! Donna died! Garth died! Wally died! (Actually Wally’s gone through so much shit Roy can’t even begin to try to comprehend the extent of speedster bullshit no thank you.) Conner died! Joey and Hal Jordan and Barry Allen and so many other people they know and love have died.

JASON’S NOT EVEN THE ONLY ROBIN TO FUCKING DIE.

GET OVER IT MOTHERFUCKER! AND GET OVER YOURSELF! AND STOP MAKING DICK’S LIFE A LIVING HELL! AND WHILE HE’S AT IT: HOW ABOUT A FUCKING APOLOGY WHILE YOU GROVEL AT THE OG ROBIN’S FEET! OH AND GO BLOW YOURSELF UP FUCKING RED PILL HEADASS BITCH AND KEEP YOUR WEIRD DADDY ISSUES TO YOURSELF AND KEEP OLLIE’S NAME OUT OF YOUR DAMN MOUTH!

When he’s done everyone is staring in shock. No one can say anything. Dick can’t decide if he should be mad, proud, horrified, sick, ecstatic, or if he wants to crawl into a hole and disappear forever. Everyone else is shocked and horrified bc wtf? Jason did all of that? What??? THAT’S what Dick and Bruce were up against during their own respective Batman vs Red Hood bs? And Jason attacked Tim at Titans Tower and tried to kill Damian multiple times??? Jason himself is silent and stony faced and verging on attacking Roy right then and there or shooting him. Bruce can’t look anybody in the eye because he had no idea Dick hallucinated (still does?) Jason and still blames himself because those were throwaway lines he said in grief and anger and self-hatred. He had no idea Dick took everything he said to heart.

Anyways does anything come from this? Maybe? All Roy knows is that he can finally sleep easier having said his piece. He has a much needed night out with Wally and Dick afterwards where he and Wally try to convince Dick this was for the best. Maybe now Jason will reflect and realize that hey his actions were actually diabolical and he Should Stop. And maybe stop being such a freak (doubtful).

Roy doesn’t care. Roy is happy. Roy is at peace. Roy can now move on with his life. Hopefully Dick, Mia, and anyone else Jason fucked over can move on too.

and if I said that those close to bruce know they’re loved with far more certainty than those close to dg,,,,,,,, what then

Requested by @alleywolf and @cristalk

btw about We Are Robin, I think one of the Robin specifically said that the kids from We are Robin are not technically Robin (something about robins being picked by batman idk) so I'd say they wouldn't be able to see ghost!jason. Plus security risk cuz jason has his face out lol

[burned-scones]

if you don't do anything else today,

Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.

have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.

and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.

black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.

if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.

This is Juneteenth.

white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
