Brothers in Blood will trick you into thinking it’s just a silly crack scenario brought to life and Jason just concocted this plan for shits and giggles. Then you get a single page like this:

Nightwing (1996-) #121

that reveals he wanted/desperately needed shreds of acceptance even if it was coated in layers of resentment irritation and doubt after going through this:

Batman (1940-) #650

And it had to be from someone who isn’t Bruce

#jason todd #dick grayson #dc #brothers in blood #look sometimes people need to find the least vulnerable way to be vulnerable and this was that #because the fact is he is vulnerable but the last time he revealed that without undercutting the moment with jokes and giggles #it turned out fabulously wrong for him #if he distracts Dick as much as possible so he'll never find out how much of a mess he is right now or what he actually wants #he can still get that confirmation that Dick cares about him without risking something happening that would be his second final straw #even the telegram where he finally sort of reveals what this was about by thanking Dick for still having his back he has to make it wacky #the ww3 comic that preludes this is even more fascinating #because I do think the cover art is ... impactful?#Jason's holding the Nightwing suit in one hand and the red hood helmet in the other and looking solemnly at his Robin suit glass case #granted it is the pill helmet but still. anyway #he’s doing this not long after Bruce slit his throat and prior to that told Alfred to keep the glass case as in the cave in uth #because meeting Jason again changed nothing and he might as well still be dead to him so that uber-tombstone stays #ofc Jason never heard that convo but it's clear he put the pieces together by himself now while looking at the case #and he’s stranded as to what he should do + silently devastated #because he knows now that he doesn’t matter (in the only way that does matter) to the one person who was the most important in his life #after his parents were gone #so then he decides to come to Dick with this because he really is the only other person who was in his life if only very briefly #anyway that was just my interpretation of that cover but how Jason is actually written in the story is just … off in many ways #but yea #this page and that ww3 cover did kinda solidify what his motivation was for the brothers in blood arc #it was good #if only the execution of everything else was better … The premise/foundation was there

what you need to understand about jason todd is that what he said in his unhinged little telegram to dick where he said he got cured of being a tentacle monster he was lying. he lied to him. He lied to him and he still gets betentacleized regularly its his that time of month. many dont realize this but its true

#its almost as gauche as it is outlandish #dc #jason #text #brothers in blood

Dick who tries to save/help Jason to change, because he genuinely believes this is the way for Jason to heal. Because Bruce truly believes this is what Jason must do.

Vs.

Jason who never tried to change Dick, because he knows to love someone is to not try and change them, but to be there when Dick falls and to catch him.

Brothers in Blood but instead of framing Dick for murder Jason's doing full on Hannibal Lecter shit like meticulously set up traps and situations and fucked up trolley problems and psychological manipulation trying to coerce Dick into organically murdering someone himself. Why? They were doing anything with Jason's character in this era, why not. Lets get psychological with it

#i am fascinated with pre52 Jason's fascination with other people's capacity for lethal violence #Jason was trying to team up right? What better way to convince someone of your methods than manipulating them into killing someone #so they can see for themselves how well your method works #Jason Todd #dc #Brothers in blood

This is how I think Nightwing (1996) #122 Brothers in Blood should have gone.

Nightwing #118

There is something so funky going on with his proportions here, but I love it. His calves are the same thickness as his thighs. what a sturdy guy! A+

Dickie has to keep his little brother safe from other men because Jason looks too pretty when he blushes.

#JayDick #brothers in blood #jason todd #dick grayson #Dick as weirdly invested in his little brother's purity #in denial that he actually wants to be the only one to defile him #give me possessive Dick #batcest

Okay, I've been coerced into reading Brother in Blood, and will be documenting my opinions of it because why not.

Okay, lady, first you call him a god and then you tell him he can't dress himself? Which is it? Dick you can do better.

Wait a minute. What is that? A bat-buckle? I take it back, she was right, you don't know how to dress. (Ngl I kind of want one).

Why did this make me so sad? "...spent some of my happiest times alone?" Dickie you're making me cry

I'm assuming he's talking to someone on the phone but idk who. Maybe he's talking to his demons, it's unclear. Also, just because things are better, doesn't mean they're good

They're really trying to make Mr. Nightwing a thing. Poor Nightwing, everyone's bashing on his name, calling him No-wing Nightwing. Give the poor guy a break.

NOT THAT KIND OF BREAK DON'T DROP HIM OFF A BUILDING!!!

Yay! Nightwing is saved by... Nightwing?!?! Hello Jason, excellent dramatic entrance, you're doing so well, even with the throat-slashing in front of a child at the beginning of this issue. That was maybe not great

"Probably because you think I can rescue you. Though I don't know why you think I would." Hallucination Dick to Jason, Brothers In Blood

"But you're more than your failures, and you're not alone- I'm always here if you need me." Tim to Jason, Knight Terrors Robin

Funny choice of wording, isn’t it? When appalled and fully opposed to something, most people would say firmly “you’re completely delusional/insane” but Dick thinks he’s only slightly off the rails. Almost like he’s wavering and actually considering it at times.

Nightwing (1993-) #120

Me to Dick after he said it for the second time:

Nightwing (1993-) #119

#or at least like he’s not as mad as he’s leading Jason to believe #jason todd #dick grayson #dc #brothers in blood #nightwing 120 #nightwing 119

Digging through a box of old stuff searching for something (that I didn't find) but did turn up this TYPE O NEGATIVE 'Brothers in Blood Loyalty Card' that I completely forgot I had. Came with my 1996 preorder of OCTOBER RUST in the UK and is apparently really rare 😅
