yeah so this was insane
#i feel like too many people reduce this interaction to jason being like ‘lol same’#but idk :/#this chapter is from jason’s pov#and leading up to it he’s like ‘people keep walking on eggshells around me bc of the the michael varus stab wound’#and he hates it so when he goes on deck to help out with the storm#everyone’s like wtf except for percy#and jason states how much he appreciated percy not treating him like a sick kid#and i feel like it’s echoed in this sentiment where jason could say so many things like#‘you should never feel that way’ ‘im here if you need anything’#but he doesn’t make percy feel alone in his desire to just…. end it all#which ik for some people that doesn’t work but you’re not a character in hoo and percy is dealing with so much guilt#and he can’t tell annabeth bc she’s a main aspect of that guilt#and he doesn’t wanna guilt her more and he feels ashamed and when he describes this he feels weird for feeling it#so having jason this tough guy be like ‘yo i understand it bc i felt the same way#that’s gotta mean a lot to percy#also insane how jason who also struggles to display vulnerability#allows it in one of few times in this moment just so percy this guy he’s supposed to be jealous about#feels comforted and not alone in his guilt and shame#and also it’s just insane how jason’s wanting to kay em ess does not get talked about AT ALL#and just seeing his mom and the pressure of new rome getting to him#like this scene is insane and i’ll never shut up about it#also ignore me i’m just finishing my reread of hoo that took all summer#jason grace#percy jackson#pjo#ashla.txt

Bruce Wayne dies, and like a prayer, Jason Todd returns to Gotham. Always too late.
He never followed his plans or became Red Hood, instead finishing his schooling and traveling for a while with Talia to stay in shape. He and Damian on and off text or call, but they both know the other is living the way they need to. They’ll always be there, but sometimes you need your own space to figure out what you really want.
When Dick takes up the mantle and Damian becomes Robin, Jason takes a posting at Gotham University and rents an apartment in the alley. Damian comes to visit and Jason tells him stories, as many as he can remember. The kid wanted to know his Dad, after all.
They don’t tell the others. Instead, grieving the loss of their Father together. When Jason came back to Gotham he expected anger. Now he just feels lost.
It’s completely on accident that Dick learns his identity. He gets a call one night from Damian, not panicked but alert. He’s calling for backup because Batman was shot.
Jason has the two of them in the back of a stolen car and makes it all the way past the security of the Batcave before he really comes to his senses. It’s a bit of a clusterfuck after that, between Alfred and Leslie trying to prioritize Dick while interrogating the imposter until they’re satisfied he’s just Jason. Their Jason.
And maybe it gets a little better. Jason has to go out as Batman until Dick’s back on his feet, so he and Damian patrol together and come home to Alfred and Dick. He goes to see Babs at the Clocktower and she introduces him to his sister, Cass, one of the few people Damian speaks highly of.
It’s different, and weird, and he and Dick have a couple of fights. But it could be worse. Slowly but surely, they figure things out. Try to move on.
And then Tim comes home and like a prayer, Bruce Wayne is alive again. Always too late.
#batman#bruce wayne#jason todd#dick grayson#tim drake#batfam#damian wayne#batfamily#nightwing#cassandra cain#jason making damian dinner and telling stories from his time as robin while looking into the young face of his dead dad#damian whose father is dead everywhere except in the mirror#tim who has no clue jason is alive and how much his family has changed while he was away#jason and tim barely missing each other in the league because jason went home the same day tim left#dick trying to stand in for his dad and getting back the one thing Batman lost. his son.#dick and jason actually having to figure out how to be brothers. sharing the mantle of batman. training damian together.#co-parenting your brother with your brother.#cass and jason talking about the league. she knows he’s killed and that he’s mostly out of the game. he’s just lost. doesn’t know how to#move on. whether he wants to be a vigilante again. they can stick to no killing but he says mortal danger begets mortal consequences.#he’s not dying or letting others die if lethal action will prevent it. they talk for hours. little is solved but they’re resolved to figure#it out. tim comes home and doesn’t recognize his family anymore. jason has damian on a truce with him but can’t look him in the eyes.#bruce comes home to the son he thought he lost. both baffled at what to do now.#shock? rage? grief? tim and bruce convinced there’s an imposter that had taken over their family in their absence#jason saying they literally just saw ra’s and why they didn’t ask him then. he can call him back up if they need more proof.#bruce “coming back from the dead” seeing his dead son walking around alive and thinking maybe he really is dead#and what a werid afterlife this is shaping up to be.#tim crashes out. at everyone. jason and damian fight back. does it solve anything? not really#do they need to get it out of their system? absolutely#when stephanie comes back tim looses it for real. jason just fist bumps her.#batsiblings

After Jason’s like third death the bat boys decide to fuck with the burial people Dick: are you sure the grave is deep enough? Damian: can we get cement poured over it? To seal him in better? We can pay if it costs more Tim: do you think lead would be stronger? Do y’all sell thicker coffins? Bruce:… maybe if we plant a tree the roots will trap him in. Boys: smart… Burial people:… *horrified and concerned* Jason: fuck you all very much.
#batfam#batman#batbois#besties#jason is not pleased#bruce was a little concerned#but then he had to join in#the kids are delighted#except jason#steph watches the video babs took and watches it when shes sad#theyre awful shits and i love them

just saying jason todd probably wrote batman fanfic as both a form of therapy and karma
my evidence:
- he's a lit nerd. every lit nerd has written fanfiction at somepoint. if you're a lit nerd and you haven't, you're a liar or you will be writing fanfiction soon. be ready.
- you're a liar if you think the batfam didn't have a giant fandom in gotham city (and other cities that had batman shipped with their hero (metropolis im looking at you))
- he'd get to tear the shit out of batman with well thought out arguments against stuff without actually having to try and make bruce listen
- the authors notes.
- 'sorry i haven't updated in two years, i got blown up resurrected and turned into an assassin by my step-mum. here's some fluff as an apology'
- i feel like i could go on for a while but I'll leave it there
#also as the ultimate bat fanboy tim defo read it#absolutely dedicated#kudosed#bookmarked#saved#mans wrote paragraphs in the comment section#he has no idea jasons the author and jason has no idea tim is his dedicated reader batboy1234#tim has a moment of clarity when it updats for the first time in years#the bats were always written oddly well#barbara both knows about the fics and who wrote them shes just watching this happen#Jason's the mskingbeans89 of the batfamily fandom#everyone lives/nobody dies (except the joker)#jason todd#batboys#tim drake#dcu#batfam#red hood

If DC wants to keep pushing out different types of Gotham War comics for every year, they may as well make a Gotham Batman Ships war next year. They get to make light fun of their fans. Batman is spread all over somewhat romantically like hummus. They get to bring in different heroes and Gotham villains to fight reluctantly (they don’t want the Batman they just want the honor). The batkids get to sit cute on the sidelines and laugh at their dad’s misery. It’s fun
#as a batlantern fan I would find satisfaction in Hal floating through Gotham wondering why he’s even here lmao#but it’s all fun and games for me until I have to serve for batlantern 😔#for anyone who takes this seriously… tis a joke#the batkids will actually have to do something when Superman takes the lead#they rally behind Wonder Woman but jason betrays them#she’s too good for that stinky rich man#bruce wayne#batman#dc#batlantern#superbat#brutalia#wonderbat#ghostbat#batcat#I don’t know the ship names for the others like two face and the riddler or something#so just pretend I tagged all the Gotham rogues that have shown interest#except for batjokes or whatever they call that ship#that one can choke#I guess they can be the giant storm that brings everyone together in the end#and no batcest either

i want to write jason & natalia but head so scattered.....
#its not anything grand really#just a fic of them sitting & chatting on a rooftop. there's a breeze carrying a faint spray of rainwater after a thunderstorm has died down#they're watching the moon#natalia tucks one of jays curls behind his ear & cups his face & tells him she missed him#tells him shes glad he is alive#& jay can do nothing but blink back tears because when has anyone ever said that?#that theyre glad hes back? [except talia ofc]#he gets to hide his face in someone's neck like he's fifteen again & can be held#he gets to be loved again#fuuuuck dude talia mention just gave me the vision of writing jason introducing talia & natalia#im not sayin theyre besties but the three of them could definitely go out for some fancy dining & exchange notes on wine & how fucking#stupid bruce is 💗#truly believe they wouldnt want to discuss bruce at first but when they do natalia helps talia take that final step of letting her misplace#affection for him go. SAID AS A BRUTALIA SHIPPER BTW#idk i just think them being bittersweet divorcees is The Flavour but talia loves fiercely & deeply & will def need a hot second to truly le#go of the idea of being with him. shes extremely logical & ruthless ofc & will NAWT gaf abt some guy who doesnt treat her right#i KNOW but you must understand. they were deeply fond of each other. bruce however has the problem of wanting to fuck gotham fr#whereas talia is normal to an extent. so. yea she does take her time & looking at all the shit that jason went thru at his hands + nat's#support would be the last straw methinks. i don't think theyre capable of hating each other fully ever but.#she finally lets go.#wait where was i. JASON NATALIA & TALIA TRIO. RIGHT. ugh guysssss what do i doooo#i have a zine fic to complete but also that jay leaves the bats wip is haunting me + That One dick & jay fic that has me by the throat#& now this.#theres several other wips ofc but these are in the forefront of my mind.#feel like i should give up on all of these & resort to being an aftg girlie exclusively. i have had jean & neil thoughts for YEARS#the vindication i felt when the new trilogy explored their dynamic??? ethereal. unmatchedddd.#or i should just. stop writing 🙂↕️#can't be haunted by visions you don't even plan on bringing to fruition thumbs up emoji. thats a good plan#veering off into intrusive thoughts territory lolololololol

I think my favorite thing to think about is any adaptation of comics meeting the comics universe cus after awhile you'll always get this:
_____adaptation: and in that moment my fellow hero/teammate/lover/forth option died.
_____comic: ah yeah that sucks, but when they came back you talked right?
_____adaptation: what? They died?
_____comic: ok? Just get them back or wait, who HASN'T died.
_____adaptation: ...
_____comics: wait do you guys STAY dead when you die?
_____adaptation: YES? What do you mean 'STAY' YOU DIE! AND THEN YOU'RE DEAD!
_____Comics: sorry... In our universe hero's come back constantly.
_____adaptation: so your _____ is alive?
_____comics: yeah, they came back awhile ago? That must suck for you.
#xmen 97#rogue#remmy lebeau#x men comics#wolverine#logan#james howlett#jean grey#scott summers#comics#dc comics#with thr exception of like Jason Todd and Bucky Barnes (funnily enough) people tend to stay dead in their adaptations#superboy#reign of the supermen#kon el#conner kent#pietro maximoff#wanda maximoff#mcu#marvel cinematic universe#what do you mean pietro died and stayed dead in the mcu? he doesn't die! wanda forces his ass back to living he dies when she says!#natasha romanoff#black widow#hawkeye#clint barton#bucky barnes#the winter soldier#they had a buddie cop comics looking for nat after she 'died`#i can keep going#gambit

I’m back on my Tim Drake doesn’t have a Bristol accent agenda! He only lived in Bristol for max 2 years and that’s including the time he lived with Bruce. Until 14 he spent his time moving between various houses across Gotham City and in various boarding schools in Gotham. (No I don’t know why Gotham has multiple boarding schools or why Tim went to multiple boarding schools). He lived with Bruce in Wayne manor at 14, but by 14/15 his dad woke up from the coma and they bought drake manor. Living in drake manor for, maybe a year and a half, before at 16 they have to sell the manor, and they move to a brownstone in Gotham city proper again. Then when Jack dies, sometime very soon after that he barely has time to live in Bristol again before the Red Robin happens where he is (probably freshly) 17. Your accent is pretty well developed when you reach 14, and none of the boarding schools are in Bristol, or implied to have alot of students from them. Even then he only spends his school time there, the rest of the time he spends all across Gotham. That is to say his accent is probably a non-dialectical version of a Gotham accent. Something ambiguously middle class but could just as easily be upper middle class or working class. He probably favours the accent of a certain area in Gotham but he also probably mixes slang and specific dialectical features. This is all to say anyone realistic wouldn’t be able to differentiate his accent from a crime ally accent, and Gotham natives wouldn’t be able to place where exactly in Gotham he’s from other than to say where he isn’t from. He probably just sounds like he’s from a New Jersey that locked itself culturally off from even the rest of New Jersey and spawned a new weirder New Jersey accent.
#aimeespeaks#tim drake#red robin#most Gotham natives wouldn’t think much on it except to note his not from Bristol or the east end#otherwise all bets are off#your accent is so heavily effected by your early speech development his probably the only bat-member who’s accent is actually purely Gotham#Steph Jason and dukes are all probably obviously east end accents (Bowery park row and narrows respectively)#Bruce’s is a 100% Bristol accent. even then there’s probably a heavy British influence in it that sets him apart from other Bristol resident#due to his sheltered early childhood and isolation post parents death (I hesitate to say he spends anytime in Gotham proper until he’s bat)#Alfred’s is English (I hesitate to theorise on what his queens English specific accent says#about him beyond just being a English butler cause it’s definitely a symptom of 1950s American writer)#dicks like 10 when his parent die. he definitely adapts Gotham slang and some words he learns only to say in Gotham but his accent is#probably a thick travellers accent (I don’t know much about American travellers or circuses so I can’t say more)#Damian doesn’t speak with even a hint of a Gotham accent#I hesitate to say with his upbringing he even speaks in a Arabic accent. i can only imagine him in a mix of transatlantic and rp English#that is to say Tim probably has an accent most unintrusive to civilians#I imagine with every other memeber a civilian describing them would point out their accent if spoken to even a little#it probably wouldn’t even occur to a civilian to point out anything to do with Tim’s voice. and if pushed they would probably just be like#‘idk he’s from somewhere in Gotham’#cass is the only other one who I can see speaking in a unambiguous Gotham accent but even then if she speaks more than a few words it’s#gotta be a crazy accent she’s pieced together

I am alone on this barren earth (Jason Todd liker and Mia Dearden liker who honestly thinks issues 69-72 of the 2001 Green Arrow run are fun and good and would really like to talk about them beyond "Jason Todd was ooc and irredeemable there because he was trauma-dumping on Mia but also everything he said was fake and made up and he was manipulating her to become his sidekick and he blew up her school in retaliation because she didn't so really we should ignore the whole comic as bad writing /or agree he should just be read as an sadistic sidekick killer" (None of which is true and over half of which is directly stated to be false in the comic's text) but all people ever have to say about the comic is weird wrong takes about the three pages in which the gym fight happens ripped out of the very interesting and fun surrounding context)
#i truly do wonder why we're always going the least interesting route interpretation-wise even when it directly contradicts canon#why have complex characters making complex points through off methods when we can have boring ones clearly labeled as good and evil#maybe if i wanted to talk about this i should have been alive in 2001 but like. we still talk about it today we just don't say anything fun#maybe. just maybe. there's a reason the panels go directly from jason letting go of mia and stepping back#to mia escaping and going “i escaped”#“unless ofc he let me go”#that is not jason making an attempt on her life (because this didn't happen we see him let go)#mia wasn't even his secondary goal he just took her to make a completely unrelated point and decided to have a convo while he was at it#jason having the capability to end it but letting mia go vs joker pretending to give jason an out and taking it away (locked door)#except in both jason ends up staying in the building#i know we don't like n52 rhato but the roy jason discussion in the Bruce-Ollie convo make me think they could have been done well#but that's not my point#i just feel like some of you guys are too quick to take an interesting comic and toss it out because one thing happens that you dont like#kinda throwing the baby out with the bathwater#i wish we saw more of mia dealing with the repercussions of their convo i want to know more of what she was thinking#green arrow 2001#jason todd#this isn't mainly about mia's character so i'm not gonna block her tag up with this

(A few of the) Batfamily and their Hozier songs!
because I have not slept I’ve barely eaten I have only listened to Hozier for the past week and done class work sheets in a trance-like state of unconsciousness
So if this doesn’t make much sense, you know why. It’s the voices telling me.
Bruce: As It Was
Dick: Be
Jason: In a Week
Cassandra: Like Real People Do
Damian: Shrike
Duke: Sunlight
Stephanie: Wasteland, Baby!
Barbara: Jackie and Wilson
#cassandra cain#batgirl#stephanie brown#batman#batfam#jason todd#bruce wayne#barbara gordon#damian wayne#duke thomas#dick grayson#dc#dc comics#batfamily#‘where’s Tim? Where’s Kate? Where’s what’s their face?’#look I ran out of songs alright#also I don’t like either of the aforementioned two#no beef I just don’t find them interesting#well#except for Kate#I’m still mad about Basil Karlo#but anyways#hard choice between Like Real People Do and Movement for Cass. she’s both#Duke had it coming I’m sorry#but it’s perfect tho#some of these are tame bc I was running out of songs as I said#but to me they still fit#I haven’t listened to Unreal Earth yet anyway#gotta do that soon when it’s not 1:12 am#Bing’s yapping

Let me tell you, the post-House of Hades heartbreak is like no other.
#my entries#percy jackson#the house of hades#nico di angelo#i spent way too long playing tetris with book quotes on photopea but i had to compile them. i had to.#“the only person who ever accepted me was bianca and she died!” sends me spiralling every time#how much misery can misery take? percy should have asked nico instead of akhlys#on another note i really loved house of hades particularly the parts that explored tartarus#i find the underworld and its lore fascinating and the more tenebrous the place the better!#it's another reason why the battle of the labyrinth was one of the more enjoyable reads#apart from daedalus icarus and perdix's story i mean#theseus and the minotaur was on the first greek myths i'd learnt about as a child#also it was great to see someone except hazel care for nico for once#jason is a great friend#cupid when i catch you!

Steph: Hey dad, can you pass me the salt?
Tim: She didn't!
Jason: Oh my god, she totally did
Cass: No...
Duke: [Snickering] Holy shit!
Bruce: [Passing the salt] Here, sweetie
Dick: He didn't!
#i love bruce and steph beibg awkward abt their not-father-and-daughter but also not-not-father-and-daughter relationship#but my new fav hc is that everyone is awkward abt it except for them#they dont care abt what they are to each other it doesnt matter that much#but literally everyone else is gushing abt it like “omg did u see? bruce said that steph isntbhis daughter”#“omg yeah but yesterday she called him dad and he tots accepted it”#idk#silly hc#i like steph and bruces relationship bc i think it kind of fluctuates in between stuff#but either way i like writing them in a way they CARE about each other#not ob a superficial level#like when i say care i mean “i would die for you” sorta way#batman#dc#batfamily#stephanie brown#bruce wayne#dick grayson#jason todd#cassandra cain#spoiler#mine

Cheryl losing her twin in every timeline is so sad ): She’s cursed to always be born with another half and then to lose it. She lost Jason and Julian. Abigail loses James. She will ALWAYS lose him. It upsets me greatly, she will always lose her family because they are horrible people and her brother because he will always die. Cheryl NEEDS a hug
#totally not projection cuz my brother is died… id never project#shes so tragic!! the show always glosses over her trauma#except for when betty exploits it#betty always out here exploiting cheryls trauma#Riverdale#cheryl blossom#julian blossom#jason blossom

There is potential for Cass, Jason, and Damian to all be with the LoA at the same time, allowing them to all briefly meet, not even knowing who they all will be to each other, once they're free of the League
#bat rambles#there is a moment when they're all on patrol#and it mirrors that first meeting#except now Cass is all gentle touches to show her siblings she loves them#jason actually talks and doesnt just snap and lash out#in fact his love language is also touch#so he ruffles Damian's hair and will bump his shoulders against Cass's affectionately#Damian lets them touch him without making too much of a fuss#just a “Tt” and a pout while Cass is just draped all over him#something she picked up from steph#my batfam muses like. just surfaced today it's been literallh 8 years#damian wayne#jason todd#cassandra cain#batfam#batfam muses

something i was thinking but i can't remember OH. i do. saw nightwing and remembered how i made an oc to ship with robin in the yj cartoon and how she became her own independent oc then and now i want to draw them together again bc they were sweeties. baby dating. And then it went Bad and they are friends but kinda bitter and weird about it at like just hitting 18/19-ish. and then became good friends again and sometimes i let them date again for fun
#static.soundz#the reason it was Bad is bc xiu ran away bc she was having insane issues and couldn't Cope#and everyone was kind of mad at her for this when she came back. except jason (MY OC. NOT THE OTHER ONE OF COMIC BOOK FAME).#that's bc jason is a hashtag xiu warrior who can almost never get mad at her. not to say he doesnt. but for this he couldnt bc all he ever#wanted was for her to come back. and why would he be mad at her for doing so?

the girls' reaction to finding out that whilst they've all been on (questionable) adventures of self-discovery, dick has managed to land himself in jail, and national television:
donna: the huff and the "you've gotta be fucking kidding me" said it all. as soon as she found out, it became her problem too. dick is the only cause of donna's 'my circus my monkeys' moments.
kory: still trying to figure out if she's in a dream or not. shit gets crazier by the second. i think she's also finally processing that the tv static was the reason she ended up there. she's just a couple steps behind.
dawn: the little shake of her head i can't. she's definitely having a mother moment. she's just like 'well yeah we left you, but that was supposed to be for a period of self-reflection dude??? not for you to go to jail????" she's also totally realising that dick is literally the only person on earth that could pull this shit, ever.
rachel: 100% shock, mainly because she's been having visions of dick again, and is just finding out this is why. also just the whole dick being in jail thing, she thought SHE was the one having issues. out of all of them she knows dick the least too, they all knew he had the capabilities for this, but it's completely new to her.
#can i add. all whilst jason + rose are off in middle-of-fuck nowhere gotham screwing eachother and bringing down drug circles.#when i say rachel knows him the least. i get she still REALLY knows him too#the rest of the girls just have more life experience with him#except for kory but i think thats a little different#i feel so bad for dawn though#she was just beginning her 'free woman' 'no man policy' journey and now she has to go save her ex boyfriend#gothihop watches#titans#02x11#teen titans#dc#donna troy#wonder girl#dawn#kory anders#koriand'r#starfire#rachel roth#raven#dick grayson#robin#nightwing#.#gothihop speaks
