how does jason commute aound gotham as redhood while he's patrolling?

Man, when I think about it, he most likely has a motorcyle like PG but I wasn't able to incorporate it into the fic. Mostly, I imagined him travelling via grappling hook, the way I did in the Arkham games

does it my imagination that laios getting more and more handsome for every new chapter drop?

Anon, I'm so sorry I haven't gotten around to reading the manga yet. In fact, I'm just slowlyyyy making my way through the anime. I can't wake to see how Laois keeps getting more handsome each chapter when I do end up reading the manga, though!

Please, someone pay me.

My wallet is in shambles.

have you tried the app living writer? unfortunately it’s subscription based and non downloadable but everything is saved on their cloud server!

i’ve been using google docs for some time now and I’m usually forced to delete old stuff so i can stay on the free version. dabbling in this new writing software has been pretty fun.. my free trial is over now tho 🥹 nice while it lasted

Thank you for the recommendation! I haven't heard of it, but I checked out and that summary system actually looks like something I need. My version of summarizing plot threads is just shooting bolt upright in bed and typing down whatever words have possessed me at the moment so I can edit them down later. Unfortunately, that $12-$15 price tag is a bit steep for me, especially with conversion rates, and I am the type of idiot to forget about the free trial and end up paying for it. It is sort of amazing that you managed to fill up your Google docs memory tho, all that just from writing? That's pretty incredible!

You have such a way with words, my friend. 💖

Hiya! First of all your blog’s interface is so cute i’m rolling on the floorrrrrrr

Second of all your writing is absolutely amazing, i’ve just finished reading “the pizza delivery girl’s survival guide to gotham city” and lemme tell u i can’t wait for the next chapter cause absolute gold-

I wanted to ask what your thoughts are on Jason and day-to-day life outside of costume. Like, dude HAS to go outside as himself at least every once in a while, out of pure necessity. How do you think he goes on about it?

Aw, thank you, I'm glad you like my blog interface and my fic. I think it depends on how much he's progressed in processing his trauma, to be honest!

I imagine when he first moved back in Gotham, he avoided going out as much as possible, for a multitude of reasons. First, because he was still reeling emotionally from Bruce enacting project Knightfall (aka faking his own death), he was recovering from the injuries he sustained during the events of Arkham Knight (and of course, the injuries he got from the Joker). Most importantly, he is adjusting to living in a city he once hated enough to want to destroy.

I feel like those first few weeks were painful for him. Every place is filled memories, and while not all of them are bad memories, they often feel too painful to revisit. He likely spent most of his time cooped up in a safehouse (which was established as something he makes no effort to make comfortable), only going out when he absolutely had to. Interacting with the city and its people as little as possible. While I don't think the Joker ever meant him to survive his torture, the amount of scars and physical injuries he bears means that a lot of his interactions bring a lot of (misplaced) guilt and shame. Did that shopkeep spend too long looking at his face, his scar? Maybe he'll pass by some hole-in-the-wall shop and remember that he and Dick and Barbara would cool down there after patrols. The ramen, he'll think, is surprisingly good. The owner is a smiling, heavyset man who insists that they never pay for their meals. Maybe he'll even take a single step toward the shop, only to remember that the scars on his hands make it so it's hard to hold cutlery without shaking. That there are days when it's physically painful to eat. And he'll shake his head and walk away.

But I think the more he interacts with PG in the story and the more he fixes his relationship with his family, the more he'll be able to interact with Gotham City. Maybe going to the grocery won't be treated like a military supply run. Maybe he'll look up from his carefully-curated list and realize a type of candy Barbara used to be obsessed with is back in stock now. Maybe he'll put it in his cart, and for the first time in a while, he doesn't have to think about what he did to her as the Arkham Knight. One day, he'll wake up before his alarm and remember that you used to talk about watching the sun rise over Gotham Bay. He'll take a long walk along the shoreline and watch the way the sky turns into soft shades of pink and orange, and he'll be surprised at the realization that there are still beautiful things in Gotham. Maybe your face will flash in his mind, and he'll think that perhaps he shouldn't be so surprised, after all. Maybe one day, after a long night of patrol, he'll pass by the ramen shop again and this time, he decides to stay. The only thing that has changed is the owner, who's gained weight and a few gray hairs, but his smile is still the same. He'll bring Jason's order without asking, and he'll insist that he doesn't have to pay for it. Eating doesn't hurt as much as he feared. In fact, some days, he can move his hands without feeling pain. This is one of the good days. Maybe on that good day, he'll be surprised to find that the ramen is still good. That he can think of the days he used to stay here with his family after patrols, exchanging combat tips and juicy bits of gossip. And this time, he's able to smile.

BRO I'M SO SORRY. I was mindlessly scrolling and thought you reblogged an ask game. 😭 Or maybe you did? Idk. I can't find the post anymore.

Let's just pretend it's a letter or something. I send you love and good vibes across the 'Net. That was 100% the intention.

Jason has reverse plot armor, his writers hate him so much they can't wait for a opportunity to beat him up despite him having every stat necessary for winning

I can't be the only one surprised how casually you're just. Here. Mind talking about what it was like to like. Join Tumblr?

It was 13 or 14 years ago. From what I remember you just shouldered aside the mastodons, went into the Tumblr cave and carved your mark on the wall, telling people you were now signed up for tumblr, and then they would haul memes on animal hides past you. Back then it was mostly cats doing amusing things, obviously, but we would watch them by the flickering firelight, and chortle to ourselves hopefully before leaving the cave and trudging back to our lives.

I know Jason’s a light sleeper but I like to imagine pizza girl kissing his forehead while he rests undisturbed

I can imagine Jason waking up whenever he feels her moving about, and keeping his eyes closed so he can feel her give him a kiss. Since so much of his life is violence, I can definitely imagine him to be the type to savor small acts of affection like that.
