“Finished”

In quotes because I’m probably going to change some stuff

Winged AU - Jason with mechanical wings bc the Lazarus pit couldn’t/didn’t heal his original wings that were severed by joker

[plutondre]

Steph + Cass

I’m gradually making my way through the bat adjacent heroes

[plutondre]

Someone quick (for a drawing I’m doing), what color would Steph’s wings be if she had them?

[plutondre]

Silly!!

I need more artfight mutuals… 😞

THIS

Saw some bad takes tonight but let me make some things clear (for the people who never read Lost Days but think they’re an authority on Talia’s relationship with Jason based one page from the last issue).

1. Talia did not make Jason feel like he was “replaced” or that “Bruce didn’t care about him”. Literally the first fucking issue ends with her telling Jason that the universe brought him back because he’s meant for great things. In fact, she’s the only person to have ever told him that his resurrection was a good thing. The only person to have ever framed him not being dead as something positive. The only.

2. Not only did Talia not “manipulate” Jason into “attempting to kill Tim”, Talia was worried about what Jason’s reaction to the new Robin would be. She wanted him to talk about his feelings with her, but he couldn’t at that moment.

3. She didn’t keep him hidden in order to “hurt Bruce”, in fact she saved him out of her love for Bruce. Lost Days says that she didn’t bring him back to Bruce because she was scared he wouldn’t be able to forgive her for not bringing Jason to him right away. It’s faulty reasoning, but it’s not malicious. The more reasonable conclusion is that she didn’t want to betray Jason’s trust by giving him away before he was ready. Which leads me to…

4. She was not manipulating Jason so she could have him as a weapon at her disposal. She admitted that she agrees with Jason’s feelings of betrayal at not having been avenged. She agrees with Jason, even while having acknowledged (back in issue #1) that Bruce would never kill (while Ra’s thought he would snap). She’s proven that she knows Bruce, well enough to know that he will never give Jason what she believes he needs; so, she makes sure Jason can take it for himself. Writers’ understanding of Talia and killing has been lacking, to say the very least, since Morrison, but this was before that. I would understand why other Talia fans might choose to ignore this part, but I think it fits that Talia believes it the duty of a parent to make whatever sacrifice to protect their child. In this case, that would be Bruce sacrificing his morals for Jason.

5. Talia never wanted Jason to fight Bruce. Jason said that he had eventually realized that her training was partly to stall him from going after Bruce’s life (because she knows he had the skill to take it). She lets him go after he admits that killing Bruce isn’t part of his plan anymore.

6. She did not let him kill his teachers because it would corrupt him. She was happy Jason killed his teachers,, but not for that reason. She had previously been worried that Ra’s was right; that the Lazarus pit had turned Jason into a sociopath, incapable of caring for anything but his revenge. Jason killing these people in order to protect innocents is proof to her that he still has some sense of personal morality, that he will not become consumed by revenge; hence, “You’re learning”. She’s not happy he’s a killer, she’s happy he still cares (and I agree with her because what is Jason Todd, if not someone who cares for victims?).

Batfam civilian au hobbies

(my opinion/ideas!!!)

Steph - rollerblading or roller skating, piano

Cass - ballet, hip hop, singing

Duke - hip hop, writing, mystery games

Jason - mountain biking, writing, reading, 

Tim - skateboarding, photography

Dick - gymnastics (obviously) and acrobatics

Barbara - coding, ballet, martial arts

Damian - art, fencing, some sort of music playing

Notes + Reasoning

I just still imagine Steph as a very 80s + 90s teen and want to see her roller skating and doing tricks

I have a lot of art I’ve done of her roller skating I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Steph actually canonically plays the piano and I think if given the opportunity to continue she could get really good at it

Cass is very much a dancer and does ballet in a lot of comics (including WFA whether or not you take it as canon it is cute to see Cass’s interactions with the family and to see her dancing)

I think that Cass would pursue other dance mediums/forms(?) and hip hop would be interesting to see

Cass singing? hmmm maybe I just want to see it? Like think about it, she has spent so much of her life without the ability to speak I want to see her soar and I want to see her take the stage with her newfound voice

Duke!!! I love Duke so much and I especially love Cass and Duke as a duo, like they are a top five duo in all of dc for me. SOOOO I want to see them dance together thus why they both have hip hop, I mean honestly I can see them doing something else like ballroom dancing but I feel like hip hop is a dance form that just leaves so much room for self expression that they both could enjoy

Duke canonically is a good writer and I want to see more of it in a situation where Duke’s parents don’t get jokerized and he is instead able to spend his teen years not fearing the Riddler’s riddles and things like that

Mystery games - I mean come on? Let me have this!! I want Duke to continue his love for puzzle games and things like that 

Jason… hmmm I was originally going to put street racing or like motorbike racing, but I feel like in a civilian au where Jason still got adopted by Bruce I think he would want to do something more dangerous and rebellious like the aforementioned activities but Bruce and Alfred would push against it. They would probably settle for mountain biking as a controlled activity that also has the thrill he might be seeking

Writing and reading I feel like are pretty obvious for Jason, he likes literature! Woo! Lets go! Read and write, my boy!

For Tim, once again it is very obvious why I would pick skateboarding and photography – both are things he does in canon and seems to enjoy

Gymnastics and acrobatics for Dick – very obvious, he does it in canon and in a civilian au maybe we would see him take it to the Olympics or national competitions

Barbara I feel would still be interested in hacking, but due to her dad being the police commissioner she would only publicize her coding skills

Barbara also canonically did ballet so I think she would continue further with it and maybe eventually loses interest or chooses another passion

I mean… her dad is the police commissioner she has to do self defense!! Barbara is probably proficient in a variety of different martial arts

Damian is a manga nerd (I can relate unfortunately) so canonically and in my au he is an artist who focuses most on a more anime style, but him being Damian he can easily create photorealistic landscapes and portraits

The reason I put fencing for Damian is because in this au I feel that the al Ghul family is still very much crime focused but instead of him being an assassin turned superhero he instead is more of a royal figure so he has to go into hobbies that people would expect of a higher figure in society. Also!!! Now he still maintains a lot of skills that he is known for when he enters the Wayne-sphere in Gotham

“Bruce, your kid just challenged me to a fencing match– the fuck!?”

The instrument-playing also follows the royal hobbies thing I said before for Damian. But also he just feels like he could play a variety of instruments (Damian plays the violin and viola in canon, and the guitar and trumpet in alternate realities)

WHY ISN'T THERE A YELLOW TEXT OPTION????

I wanted to use it for Cass and Duke :(

LMK your ideas/opinions or if you think I got something plain wrong
