five pebbles really is the character of all time huh
he’s an incredibly vast biomechanical god, he’s a like 2ft tall muppet, his associated colour is cyan but he’s bright pink, he’s a video game level, he’s just a little guy, a little birthday boy, he loves his family, he hasn’t talked to any of them in a very long time, he has terminal brain cancer, it looks like blue spaghetti, he loves his sister, he killed his sister, he’s That person on discord, he’s a history nerd, he’s stuck in a box that is also himself, he’s incomprehensibly intelligent, he’s a total dumbass, he talks to small animals, he can fry your brain instantly, he’s suicidal, he doesn’t want to die, he’s so very, very big, but so very very small, he’s a thematic demonstation of a colossal, uncaring world, he’s just another victim of that world in the end

Some of your posts with robin Jason and Bruce makes me wonder what would have happened if Bruce found Jay if he was younger. What if he found a terrified five year old crying because he was scared and Bruce decided to take him in. Sometimes I wish that's what happened so that Jason would be spared the title of Robin and have the life he deserved.
omg i'm so sorry for replying to this so late!!! BUT YES i absolutely love this idea!
bruce finding a little tiny five year old underneath the batmobile, crying and shaking because he was hiding from a group of scary men. for this au, jason's parents would be gone by now and he'd be homeless younger.
bruce's heartstrings tug at the sight of such a small, malnourished child looking visibly dirty and exhausted. jason, being younger and more trusting/innocent, immediately latches onto batman when the man offers to help. just happily sits on his lap when bruce takes them to a restaurant to eat, stuffing his little cheeks with food and chattering bruce's ears off. bruce doesn't mind though because he knows jason hasn't had anyone to talk to in a while (plus this kid is beyond adorable...)
anyways, cue a soft-looking bruce walking into the manor with a giggly, smiley little boy in his arms. alfred is baffled (he didn't think bruce patrolling on his parents' death anniversary would result in the adoption of a literal child). meanwhile dick is having the best time giving jason all his old toys and clothes, not knowing that he's just signed himself up for a lifetime of jason trailing after him like a duckling.
also here are a few fics i read with a similar premise of bruce finding a younger jason:

was rewatching season 3, and noticed something that definitely doesn't actually mean anything, but made me pause for a second
at the end of the specials when Wukong apologizes to MK for being a bad mentor, MK never actually accepts the apology. he makes a joke about being able to just get another bowl of noodles and when Wukong explains his apology more, says he knows and plays dumb to lighten the mood, but he never actually accepts his actual apology
I'm probably thinking too hard about something that's just a silly joke but still
Oh, I think that moment was intended to highlight MK's traits rather than just be a "silly joke".
MK has a habit of wanting to move on and pretend every thing is fine. He doesn't want to think about the things that are messy and grey and complicated. He doesn't want to think about Wukong's flaws or any of the ways Wukong has hurt him, he just wants to go back to things being simple and easy, without working through anything. (Think like, 4x01 and 4x02 where MK keeps insisting he's alright, 4x05 where he says "Monkey king will explain how he's definitely not my dad and that everything is fine", or even 4x12 with "Kick this can down the ol' half marathon"/"So they can never make us live our nightmares again!")
MK during s2 feels so abandoned by Wukong, then brushing past his emotions the moment he realizes Wukong "had a good reason" for leaving. Which, Wukong did have a good reason, but his methods were less than ideal, and there are undoubtedly complicated feelings that came from that. Those two just like, fucking SUCK at communicating with each other.
And, it's definitely not all on Wukong, not by a long shot. But the thing is, MK can't acknowledge or talk about his feelings with Wukong, because that would require him to admit that Wukong hurt him in the first place. So I interpret the 3x14 Apology scene as MK not wanting to accept an apology, because what is Monkey King apologizing for? Nothing happened! Everything's fine! When that's just not true.
