i genuinely think that jason could and would be content with an ordinary life, especially if bruce were a civilian too. in another life i would have really enjoyed just being your son. a 10pm bedtime and slippers instead of pixie boots.

#needless to say he is a bleeding heart so he would probably dedicate much of his life helping others #but as a civilian #like. he did not ask to be robin. it was offered to him #and sure he would step up if it was needed but i think that compared with dick for example #there wasn’t really anything that would suggest that jay would go out of his way to hunt criminals on his own at night #he even skipped patrol to do his homework instead in comics come on #i adore jay as robin and jay loved robin more than anything too but ultimately #when in ‘a death in the family’ alfred said that he should be given time to heal when he was given a home first #instead of being put in this role #he was right.#because jay isn’t able to distance himself from pain of other people #which in his robin run causes him to grow more and more restless and slightly bitter #i’m not entirely sure if jay would stay a civilian if bruce never offered robin because having his loved ones so involved in this lifestyle #would make it a risk for him not to be trained at all #and once he was trained he would probably feel like it’s his duty to do the most he can.#but maybe there would be more balance #just thinking out loud don’t mind me #jason todd #dc comics #jay ramblings #jay meta
