Do you think your AK Jason would react poorly to getting grabbed at
Not in a bad way ofc but like, you're at home together, coming up behind him, hugging him from behind and then grabbing a handful of tits or maybe trying to get a hand down his pants just to have it in there
At first, yes. He flinches at even the faintest of touches, so grabbing at him, especially groping him, is gonna set him off. He's not gonna sucker punch you or anything, but he'll probably shove you away, a little more forceful than intended because that sort of touch is an instant trigger. All he feels when someone touches him is the Clown's hands on him, like slimy maggots writhing on his flesh.
Now, after you two have been together for a while, and he's learned to trust your touch, he might still flinch but he's gonna find comfort in your caresses. And he secretly loves when you grab his tits or cock because it's an affirmation that someone still wants him, despite how ruined his body may be.

What are AK!Jay's love languages (giving & receiving)?
What is your favorite incarnation of Jason Todd, besides AK?
Do you prefer AK!Jason or Red Hood!Jay in terms of outlook & costume (both still in the Arkhamverse)?
No need to apologize! I don't think I've answered any of these before. Thank you for the ask! š„°
1. What are AK!Jay's love languages (giving & receiving)?
Giving:
Though I believe Jay is an unreliable narrator in AK: Genesis, this line from #2 may give some insight on how he shows love:
āFrom a half-eaten sandwich in the garbage to a dropped walletāI grew up protecting whatās mine. Sharing my toys didnāt come naturally. Still doesnāt.ā
He tries his best to respect your boundaries, but he's lost so much in his life and he's terrified of losing you too. So he can be overprotective with a jealous streak, but as he heals he tries to learn to let go.
Now that's not to say he isn't a kind, compassionate, and attentive lover. If somehow you're able to get close enough to him to have a relationship, he will worship you. He still sees himself as a ruined monster covered in repulsive scars, inside and out; a thing not worthy of love. If you take the time to break down his armor, to dig him out of his hell, to make him feel human again, he'll spend every single day of his life thanking you for loving him despite everything š
Receiving:
Jay has major abandonment issues so he needs lots of tending. He needs to know that you'll always still be there when he wakes up in the morning. He needs to feel safe, to know that your touches will always be tender, that you'll love him unconditionally, despite all the baggage that comes with loving him. Most importantly, he needs to trust you completely. His threadbare heart has been ripped from his chest and ground into the dirt so many times before; he has to know that you'll always treat it with care.
2. What is your favorite incarnation of Jason Todd, besides AK?
Red Hood: The Lost Days Jay š
3. Do you prefer AK!Jason or Red Hood!Jay in terms of outlook & costume (both still in the Arkhamverse)?
Costume? Definitely Arkham Knight, though his diy-tastic Red Hood getup does have a bit of adorable charm.
Outlook? Hard to choose between the two. I appreciate both Arkham Knight, for exploring his burning thirst for revenge, and Red Hood, as he deals with his trauma and tries to make up for what he did to the people of Gotham.
AK!Jason & Pizza gorl have an unconventional romantic relationship! I headcanon JT as disabled since he realistically should be. Heās canonically able bodied & can most definitely still kick some serious ass, but mentally, heās absolutely spent. Suspension of disbelief for the sake of this being based on a literal video-game BUT also I want to world build in my little delulu arkham verse!
As always credit to my favorite fic writer @morverenmaybewrites because she made the pizza gorl fic š¤š
Please read! If you have read it, reread it!
SLEEPING š“š¤
In my world these two basically obsessed with each other but PG is extremely accommodating to JTās mental & physical traumas. She strongly encourages him to do whatās comfortable for him in their home, as she wants it to be a safe space for them both. Jason does his very best to accommodate PG as well as he possibly can to return the favor.
J prefers to sleep alone most nights.
He sleeps on the pullout couch a lot of the time donāt worry heās not cramped because of his nightmares and general anxiety/paranoia. Despite it though, he still desires the presence of you constantly, it brings him an immense amount of comfort. The doors in the apartment normally stay open. Even during showers. He can hear you sketching, typing, reading, or even occasionally snoring depending on how quiet the night is. Itās the perfect white noise in his opinion! The gentle presence of a loved one goes a long way for JT, he doesnāt feel alone nor watched or out of place. Itās the epitome of a happy medium for him.
When you two are actually sleeping together, itās usually really cold out. The bed is extra toasty with your XL heating pad and fluffy duvet. JT makes a habit of burying himself underneath the comforter and tucking himself into your embrace, he sleeps the heaviest on these nights. He rarely overheats. Typically these are dreamless nights for him. During the peak of Gothams harsh winter, Jason is the most consistent with sleeping in bed with the exception of a couple random nights he gets horrible night terrors. He just canāt get enough of the encompassing warmth š¤ Not to mention itās much harder for his mind to construct nightmares when all heās thinking about is getting warm.
PG obviously prefers to sleep with her significant other most nights but makes it a point to respect his boundaries. As much as she wants Jason to be guilt free when sleeping alone, he still feels no better than a bag of shit when leaving her to her own devices nearly every night after all this time together; especially during holidays like valentines or something similar. To combat this theyāll usually do an activity together before sleepingālike reading aloud to one another or crocheting or even a coloring book.
COOKING/CLEANING š«§š§½š§¼
PG loves to eat but couldnāt be more indifferent to cooking, itās not a hobby or particularly fun experience for her. She does it simply because Jason doesnāt like to mix things up when he cooks. Not because he doesnāt want to either, heās just good at a handful of dishes and hasnāt ventured beyond them. Theyāre both average but PG is marginally better since she cooks more.
Jasonās skin looks considerably better due to him eating more homemade food. Heās not nearly as greasy now.
JT having someone hounding him to hydrate and eat on routine gives him more energyā¦ heās lowkey shocked at how much more energy he actually has. PG is indefinitely annoyed at his antics but continues to nag JT to keep up with himself. He usually returns the favor by doing most of the chores, he seems to get some enjoyment from cleaning. Itās so easy for him to focus while simultaneously not actually think about anything. Head completely emptyā¦ only the sound of himself scrubbing away at grime.
Pure peace.
Sometimes when Jason runs out of things to clean it will lead to him stressing out unnecessarily. Unfortunately, itās the only activity that helps alleviate stress at a rapid rate. The second best self soothing method is counting down from 10 thousand in increments 7 or something akin to that. But it doesnāt work nearly as well though..
As helpful PG finds this behavior, theyāre both brainstorming better measures for calming him down.
HYGIENE šŖ„
Pizza canāt really go more than 24 without a shower, she hates smelling like greasy fast food! She has a lot of scented products that help get rid of the stench pretty effectively. Jason only uses them when he needs to erase the scent of blood, otherwise he opts for the simple cleansers and shampoos.
PG loves to feel just as pretty as she smells so her hoard of hygienic products is never lacking. Jason is still genuinely curious how any girl could need so many oils, body butters, & moisturizers. Itās never ending. JT never comments or judges his significant other on her affinity for skincare. Something that makes PG so clearly happy makes him happier too. Not to mention, Jason also reaps some small benefits from her extensive collection; although he usually just uses what Pizza seems to ignore the most, some of his smaller scars have evened out and much of his hyperpigmentation has lessened. Jason himself hasnāt noticed this development in the slightest, but PG most definitely has.
Heās very bashful when you compliment him and most of the time, Jason doesnāt believe you.. sometimes though, he canāt help but let his heart flutter at the directness of your attraction.
Every once in awhile, Jason will roll up his sleeves and ask you rub cream on his forearms. As tense and anxious JT will become while being touched, he wants to heal. He wants Joker to stop haunting him. Freedom is all Jason has ever wanted since the asylum. Becoming whole again is his ultimate goal; so heāll sit through the discomfort, the self hatred and disgust of his mangled body, to exist as he sees fit. Not by what Joker had planned for him. PG doesnāt always do it as long as heād like if she feels heās on the verge of panic or an episode, but occasionally, Jason can beat personal records.
JT gets loads of praise from his partner either way.
Anything to do with prolonged touch is done in complete darkness š what kind of touch is up to yāalls discretion lol
Just a simple work in progress of the sketching phase because tbh I dunno if Iāll finish this or redo it entirely. I really like how Jasonās mini headshot came out, considering the planning of his aesthetics were spontaneous :0) Kinda wanna do a reference for Nightwing and Oracle (might throw Tim in there too). Ghost/Bruce is still a complete mystery to me, whenever I think of him I just picture Ghostmaker from the current Batman continuity of the comics.
Anywayyy, Im quite satisfied with my scribbles, crossing my fingers Iāll like the way the final version comes out š
BTW itās all based on that one jason todd fic by @morverenmaybewrites š¤
More headcanons based on @morverenmaybewrites fic, The Pizza Delivery Girlās Survival Guide to Gotham City because iām feral for it
AK!Jason is canonically akin to a stray animal but is entirely capable of, as well as wants to be, domesticated! I donāt think he believes heās allowed or deserving of a nicer life but itās simply not true š
If anyone were specifically trying to get the goddamn post Arkham Knight/Red Hood to settle down a bit I think itād be particularly difficult. But not especially so, if youāre naturally warm hearted & honest. You donāt have to necessarily be some sweet lil saint but definitely the type to look out for others & be somewhat admirable, like good morals and whatnot. I think heād do well with someone confident in themselves, unwavering to an extent, at your core youāre a good person. Being soft spoken and humble doesnāt exclude you from having these traits either. He just needs someone reliable to act as his compass.
Jason needs an anchor more than anything.
A reminder to slow down and take a breather. Since JT has never been able to just exist without having to justify himself or not fight for the right to belong. Being able to have a home, a proper tether to Gotham, is something incredibly precious to him.
The most difficult part of this entire process would be getting into close proximity to Jason on a recurring basis. As Red Hood in the AK series specifically, is pretty cut off from everyone. Partially for the safety of you, a civilian, but also because heās not trying to get another knife in his back! Heās paranoid, combative, snippy, & a lot of the time, just cold. He means well and wants to do right by Gotham, he just canāt seem to ever get shit to go his way so when you come along with an open hand & swelling heart, heās overall distrustful and dismissive.
When you do make it past his walls though, itās not at all easier to care for him lol but he does care for you deeply. In the beginning his new behavior is not at all conscious, he doesnāt realize how much calmer he is around you. Heās not quick to raise his voice, heāll bite his tongue more often and linger around longer. Jason will naturally be more talkative, keep a close eye on you, and allow you to touch him in a semi intimate manner.
you would jolt awake when you hear the muffled ramblings, even if you're in the other room
definitely have to approach Jason with caution, no loud noises or sudden movements
he's hypersensitive to sounds at these moments, and will definitely sense if you're approaching him hurriedly
you learned the hard way.
first time you witnesses Jason having nightmares, you underestimated how easy it actually was to jolt him awake
Not being able to sleep through his screams, you had gently laid a hand on his bare shoulder
Jason had you gasping for air and against the bedframe in mere seconds
"Ja-" you had choked, but Jason was long gone
Pupils contracted, he seemed to stare right through you, only squeezing harder
You had thrashed against the wall, but Jason had just pressed your whole body harder against the wall
You woke up in the hospital with Jason nowhere to be found, and it would be another 4 months until you saw him again
Your friendship definitely needed to be built back up after that, from both sides
Now you know not to approach Jason, and definitely not to touch him during a nightmare
The only thing left to use is your voice
"Jason" you whisper melodically from his doorway
The only problem was that Jason would never hear you through his screams
It wasn't this bad every night, really. But then there were nights like these that made you want to say to hell with it and embrace Jason's shaking body in your arms
"Jason!" you try again, unable to keep the building panic from your voice
He finally jolts awake, mid-scream, and he's still shaking when you decide fuck it, and run to him
Instinctively, Jason turns his head away from you, hiding the "J" scar on his cheek. He's bracing himself on the edge of the bed, breathing heavily.
You take the hint and decide to give him space for a few minutes, and you retreat into the kitchen to make Jason some coffee
He doesn't sleep after these kinds of nightmares
He's still gripping the edge of the bed when you emerge from the kitchen with a cup of coffee and his pack of cigarettes
You're not a fan of smoking, and handing a cig to Jason on all other occasions would be a no-go for you, but right now you want nothing more than his comfort
Without saying a word, you place the cup and the pack on the balcony table, plopping down on one of the seats
You start to think that Jason won't come when suddenly he takes a seat right next to you, pops his pack open, and lights a cigarette in a flash
You watch as he sips on his coffee, cigarette still pressed between his fingers, calmly observing the raging night life going on outside
You don't know what to say, and a part of you is reluctant to start any sort of conversation when Jason is in this state anyway, but you still say:
"Nothing like that will ever happen to you again." As if saying it will make it true. But you mean it.
"I'll kill anyone that touches you" you whisper, shaking with anger and sadness at the memories of what Jason had told you had happened
A deep loud noise comes from the man beside you. My God, he's laughing. You didn't think anything you said was remotely funny.
Suddenly, Jason throws a muscular arm over your shoulders
"My little murderer" he muses, voice still sore from the screaming
The way Dick is so especially gentle and soft spoken with his brother is so cute to me. The way he literally approaches Jason like a deer that could sprint off at any given moment has me bawling my eyes out rn.
I like seeing how Dickās excitability and general perky, peppy attitude is just at an all time low so he can accommodate to JT (will still get glimpses ofc) but itās so refreshing to see it done in a way that isnāt depressing or over the top. It shows the calmer side to him that Iām not used to seeing in media! He loves his wittle babey brober so much it hurts š„¹š
Not the comparison of Jason to a skittish deer š. Also yes, I'm glad you notice how much Dick is trying to accommodate Jason!
I hc that ever since he was captured by the Joker, Jason handles intense displays of emotion poorly, because he already has such a difficult time self-regulating his own emotions. Having to handle another person on top of that is just a little bit too much for him.
Dick recognizing that and trying to accommodate Jason's needs before his own just feels like the sort of Big Brother (TM) thing he'd do.
