#Death In The Family

[onnahu]

So I was rereading DitF and there's something interesting there.

Because Sheila sold Jason out to the Joker, and then while he beat the shit out of her child, she smoked a cigarette, refusing to look, already regretful of what she did.

It's clear, she cares more about herself than Jason.

But then, when Jason frees her, she doesn't just run. She stays to help him get out to.

Is it the guilt? Did she want to somehow redeem herself? Or maybe it was as a thanks. Because Jason saved her even when he was dying by her fault.

And I want to know. What is Sheila's deal? We know she did some illegal surgeries on women in Gotham, but what was that? She was working at a refugee camp. Was she there trying to do something good, or because it was a place she could hide easiest?

What's going on with Sheila Haywood?

There’s an alternate universe where Jason Todd got killed via tumblr poll where only like 20 people actually voted on whether or not to kill him and the other 20,000 voted the vanilla extract option

Half the time I'm like, "can we have jason todd media not all about his death"?

Then I realize. If I died I would never shut up about it.

"Can you get up and grab that for me?"- absolutely not. My legs are tired from death.

"Will you go to the store with me?"- leaving the house?!? What if I die AGAIN.

So yeah, anyone who thinks jason talks about his death too much. Be honest. We'd all do the exact same thing.

So in my class we name our glue sticks to stop the kids losing or mistreating them - they're much less likely to lose a glue lid if you're shouting "oh no, Alfred's been decapitated". It's fun.

Now, I'm a big batfam girlie ✨ so naturally I named all our glues after these characters. We have Richard and Bruce and Stephanie and Barbara etc. you see the point.

Recently, the first glue stick ran out. It had to go in the bin so unfortunately it "died", and you'll never guess which glue stick was the first to die...

It was Jason.

You could not conceive the sound I made as I had to throw Jason in the bin as all the children shouted things like "Jason's dead" and "noooo Jason!"

Worst things worse, I couldn't even explain how ironic that was that Jason, the second robin, was the first glue to go!

Dick: Hey, Y/N, are you free on Friday? Like around eight?

Y/N: Yeah.

Dick: And you, Jason ?

Jason : Umm... yes?

Dick: Great! Because I'm not. You two go out without me. Enjoy your date!

Jason : Did he just-

The dichotomy between Jason dying because he disobeyed Batman and Stephanie dying specifically because she was trying to follow his rules is so good, and yet so under utilized.

Just had a thought.

The JL members that joined after Jason's death, never expirienced the Batman that can laugh.

Bc it's a big thing, that Jason could make Bruce laugh. Even on the anniversary of his parents murder! And after Jason's death, Bruce changed - as it is after your child dies, especially when you're already traumatised adult that has sooooo many psychological issues.

And now we have those two kinds of Justice League members. Those who knew Bruce before, and saw the change. That had to be terrible, to watch their friend and companion in that state. And the others, who met Batman only after.

What was it, to see the new members talking about who Batman is, when they never met the real him - the one who was crime-fighting partner with Dick Grayson, the one who was a proud father of Jason Todd.

*Jason is casually searching around the room*

Dick: Hey Jason, what’re you looking for?

Jason: My will to live.

*Y/N walks into the room*

Jason: Oh, there it is.
