Hello! sorry to bother you and i'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering which version of the bible you read/recommend? I want to read and study it, not necessarily for religious reasons, but more so I can understand it for myself. I was raised in the church in the deep south but unfortunately only ever had children's bibles. I know most say the King James Bible is where to go, but I wanted to know your thoughts and if there really are any differences? Thank you for your time, and again sorry if this has been asked before

I like NRSV! The copy I have (which if I remember correctly is the Harper study bible) also has some apocrypha and noncanon books if you also want to get into that :D I've got a separate book with more apocrypha and gnostic gospels I'm hoping to read. A friend also sent me a site with the saints in them so I'm hoping to look through that at some point

I have seen some people recommend ESV though so that's also worth looking into. I think the difference are mainly in the translation choices. So ESV aims to be more accurate to the original text but not as easy to read through. NRSV is like a mix, not as accurate (word for word) but easier to understand. NIV and NLT are focused primarily on readability I think (?)

what was jason like when he first became robin?

okay so jason’s personality tends to fluctuate depending on the writer and the circumstances (such as dc trying to drill in the point that jason was a rebellious asshole even though he was actually Baby Supreme™) so i’m going to try and cover everything while also making it (hopefully) make sense, taking in all of the continuities and their varying canons.

1. we all know jason was a scrappy kid. he had a shitty dad, a drug addict mom, and spent a few years alone on the streets. this hardened jason and gave him a ferocity he didn’t have before. while it’s not hard to get past his exterior to the sweet kid within, it makes him bad at first impressions and is a great deal of the reason for why people reduce young jason todd to just a punk.

2. in spite of his less-than-kind beginnings, jason was a sweetheart. he had a passion for heroism and encapsulated everything that robin is supposed to stand for. while he had his dark moments, he mimicked dick grayson in the sense that above all, he was light and happy at his core. 

3. that’s kind of why there are so many different depictions of jason’s years as robin because, as cute and eager as he was, he still had a dark side and people tend to write him as being either “sweet sunshine boy” or “grim dark bastard child” even though it’s actually both. even before the red hood, jason had a tendency to get violent went provoked.

(not to mention the time he may or may not have killed a rapist, just saying)

(and it’s worth bringing up jason’s possible past with sexual assault, which depends more on personal opinion since it’s only been hinted at in later comics. in the original robin!jason comics, he was pretty innocent overall despite living on the streets, but later comics are a bit more realistic about it. it’s up to you to decide what happened, really.)

4. jason and dick got along!! this tends to be scrubbed out as “dick and jason barely knew each other before jay died” but originally, they got to know each other pretty well and grew pretty dang fond of each other. dick’s beef with bruce might have made him a little absent, but he did try his best to be a good big brother to jason.

5. and the titans liked jason too!

6. jason and barbara were close!! and he was pen pals with kid devil!! jason had way more friends than people think. later comics try to push the mindset that jason was shunned by the rest of the hero community, but that’s just plain not true. he was a great kid and plenty of people liked him.

7. jason was a smoker! (he never did drugs, though. i like to headcanon that jason despises drugs overall because they took his mom away from him.)

8. he was a nerd!!! jason loved school and books and the theatre (at least in the titans show he was a theatre nerd. i remember seeing a reference to jason liking theatre in comics but couldn’t find it). he loved learning because he never had access to education growing up on the streets!!!

9. jason really loved bruce. i know that we all pretty much know this one already, but it needs to be said. jason considered bruce his father for a while before his death and didn’t doubt that he was loved right back, despite what newer comics will try and tell you. i mean, the fact that jason was adopted as bruce’s son right off the bat says a lot about their relationship and willingness to be family.

(i’m sure there’s stuff i missed, but these are the bits that i try to remember when i’m writing jason in the early days of his robin career. he carries a lot of angst, sure, but he’s not completely without joy. after all, he became robin for a reason. jason was just as happy and enthusiastic as dick was until he died, and that fact needs to be acknowledged better.)

Ao3 does not need an algorithm, you're just lazy

Ao3 does not need a 1-5 star rating system, you just want to bring down authors writing for FREE

Ao3 does not need automatic censorship, it is an archive, therefore anything can be posted

Writing or reading about something illegal does not mean the author nor the reader condones it, if that were true, you could never read a story involving anything negative

Purity culture is ruining fan culture and you all are fucking annoying
