I know technically speaking Bruce heavily tampered with the crime scene, but I'm sure the news or a rumour about what happened to the second Robin returned anyway to Gotham. And I wonder if parents, knowing the kind of psychos that existed in their city banned little kids from wearing any Robin costumes or colours for Halloween or anything for years after.

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!

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.

Tim Drake is so funny to me as an Icon because Starlin wanted to kill the idea of child sidekicks,of Robin as a light. He wanted to kill the hope and joy of him. Wanted to slaughter the importance and responsibility of having someone relying on you,of having a child to come home to. And he was allowed to kill Jason,was allowed to kill Robin and then not even a year later Wolfman went "Here's a Robin so in love with the idea and responsibility of Robin that Dick Grayson imprinted himself on his brain and Tim hasn't stopped thinking about it since." And he became the Robin that can't stop being Robin and LMAO fuck you Jim Starlin,I'm glad you're here to see it.

"He would have been eighteen today... Maybe if I'd put an end to his attemps. He'd be getting ready to go off to college... or just having a normal life. But he'll never have that."
