hey man we really can't be asked to flesh out red hood jason todd as a villain — sorry anti-hero — or uh, morally grey anti-not-hero? — so how about from now on we write robin jason todd as a super violent evil rude brat. why? well for one, he's poor, so like who's surprised... classism? what are you talking about, new intern at dc comics, shut the fuck up! secondly, if we write robin jason as a kind and emotional and progressive kid who often criticised batmans narrative while still wanting to do better, we'd have to actually write him as an interesting and complex red hood to explain the drastic change in his behaviour!
anyway, this way robin jason was inevitably going to become the evil villain that batman could never save. hey, speaking of batman, make sure bruce basically HATES robin jason. since he regrets taking him in because he's like, evil and stuff. this way their relationship is far less complicated, because bruce knew he could never reform jason! you know what, make sure alfred hates him too! and he recommends sending jason back to whatever shithole he came from... yeah! hope you're writing this shit down, intern.

‘tim drake is a genius that is always one day from turning into a villain’ ‘he’s basically a bat-lex luthor’ ‘he blew up the league’s bases’ enough. put red robin down. read something else. i beg you. please i beg you please. not even when his life went to shit he became a villain. ‘but he cloned kon 99 times in tt ‘03’ you mean he tried to clone the clone? how insane! he must be deranged!
#I'm crying#like yeah im sure robin 2021 was a distaster tim comic given it is DAMIANS ROBIN SOLO?#cant stop laughing oh tim drake u modern existence is so unfortunate#if only people realised u existed before 2015

you don’t know me but… *twiddles thumbs* how do you feel about the rising popularity of brujack (now called #jackbat) as the person who got me thinking about it last year (this post)?
omg i had absolutely no idea the brujack (jackbat!!! fantastic!!!) renaissance was upon us... this is truly wonderful news. i need to peruse the tumblr tag now to see what you're up to and hopefully that will inspire me to contribute with my ten billion jackbat fic wips hidden away in the google docs. they're so tragic and so funny and it's so terrible! it's perfect!
also shoutout to my bestfriend @plutoslvr who i may or may not have plagiarised most of my brujack thoughts from (including the post you linked). we inject one another about them annually.

saying this to me about a fic written about characters published by dc comics is so funny because no shit boss... why did you go into this expecting a good representation of trauma and toxic relationships? my source material won't allow for it, neither does my headcanons. in a bruce and jason fic no less!
#i believe in naming and shaming#if ur grown enough to say this shit to me ur grown enough to have it shared to everyone i know xx

#i absolutely love when bruce talks about dick in a way that comes across as both absolutely obsessed and impressed#but also disgustingly jealous#because it is done so in a way that both are always true and one is not more prevelant than the other#dick stole his skin but did not take his heart#and bruce is grateful for that but also so angry#because who else would even want to if not dick#what do yall know about devotion#bruce wayne#dick grayson

Hi, yes - hello! I saw ur jason fic rec and binged it in a hour - IT WAS SO GOOD !!! I NEED MORE RECS IF U GOT THEM PLZZZ (jason ones are preferable, but im open to other character-centric fics)
Amazing! If you enjoyed the fic, I hope you also kudos, bookmarked, and let the author know you liked it <3
Oh, anon, Jason is easy. Here's my most recent Jason-centric batfam bookmarks 👍
Orpheusaki / @damianbugs wrote a ton of my favourite Jason fics. Even if he's not the focus, I'm sure you'll enjoy all of their works :)
We Live Like Kings and Flutter, Flutter Little Bat by @bowditch . Or any of their works.
nothing to lose, watch me transform by Quillfox
at me, too, someone is looking by bacondoughnut
Jason Todd's Guide on How to Be Haunted with Minimal Stress by VermilionFlame
See You At Your Worst by wildsofmarch
penance by cuephrase
Remember, if you enjoy a fic: let the author know! 🫶

my favourite niche batman comic trope is when bruce ends up saving/working with loyal dogs — because that's what he is, too, at the end of the day: the family guard dog, gotham's livestock guardian, the self-imposed pedigree stray etc etc. and he's very aware of it too:
"When I begin to wonder what, if anything, is the point of it all... why I don't simply give up on Gotham... I think of Ace. A dog loves without needing to know why. Without knowing what good it will do." Batman Urban Legends (2021) #11
of course, you can write thousands upon thousands of words really getting into the sociopolitics of batman, the psychological impact of it on him and others, the moral code and the hypocrisy and the violence and —
but also, maybe in some way, it isn't that complicated at all. maybe beneath the years of training on the side of mountains and hurtling through time and space and watching your loved ones die again and again and again, there is but one simple wish to love and keep on loving without admitting to the consequences. it's such a easy why to answer so many common complaints: why try so hard? why do you forgive? why do you compromise? why don't you kill? (why don't you bite?)
on a less sad note, i like how bruce doesn't allow anyone to call Ace "Bat-Dog" because, despite his very serious branding, it sounds too much like "Bad Dog" and that name makes Ace react violently. makes me wonder if in the haze of gunfire and alien lazers and burning buildings and fights in the cave and floods he hears the cry for a Bad Man.
#my bruce + dog folder grows every day#the real kicked dog of the batfam but whatever#bruce wayne#saki comic talks
