#jason todd is a theatre kid

[random-sparks-98]

Here's a really rough animatic that I started back in April and only just now got around to finishing 😅 Happy Valentines Day!!!

[dijiaaaaaa]

My sister: ‘watcha doing?’

Me: ‘Nothing’

Also me: Thinking about little Jason Todd singing ‘Not to worry from’Sweeney Todd to his mum after his dad got violent…

[ditzybat]

jason breaking into titans tower armed to the teeth with a monologue prepared: i -

tim in his pj’s and on his last straw: fuck it, have the damn mantle back, i’m sick of babysitting a middle aged man in a fursuit anyway - i’m going back to bed

jason: … you ruined my super cool and dramatic villain speech …

[ruenii]

Tim, [pointing his staff at the human traffickers]: YOU ARE OUTGUNNED

Jason, [hyping him up]: WHAT?

Tim: OUTMANNED!

Jason: WHAT?!

Tim: OUTNUMBERED OUTPLANNED

Jason: PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES!

Tim: PUT YOUR GUNS DOWN ON MY COMMAND

Jason: HAND EM OVER!!

Tim: THIS IS HAMILTON MY RIGHT HAND MAN!

Jason, [getting his guns out]: PWO PWO PWO PWO PWO-

Goons: *shaking* what the FUCK are Batman feeding his partners--

[mikakuna]

"how could you?!" and then he runs off like a maiden

[welcometogrouchland]

I understand that literature nerd Jason Todd is kind of overblown in fanon compared to it's actual presence in canon (a few issues during his pre (and post?)crisis Robin tenure that highlight it) BUT consider that I think it's hilarious if the unhinged gun toting criminal has strong opinions on poetry

[dc-and-damirae]

tim: the chances of you getting killed by your dead sibling is low

*Jason walks in to frame wearing a robin costume*

tim: but never zero

[mylifeingotham]

This is so random, but I feel like Jason went through a Heathers phase

[iguessthisisanewobsession]

When Jason had invited the family to join him at local theater to celebrate their successful production they didn’t know what to expect.

They didn’t expect-

Jason shook his head and leaned in his chair before taking the other man’s hand.

“I am madly in love with you!”

“Change!”

“I despise you with every part of my bei-“

“Change!”

“You’re like a six!”

It looked like they had came in the middle of a game of some sort. Steph had her phone out as Jason’s partner snatched his had away and stood up,

“That is the rudest thing anyone has-“

“Change!”

“That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever-“

“Change!”

“I want to have vigorous gay sex with you!”

The others watched as Jason stood up as well, trying not to laugh. This was too good.

“Hot dam! Wait until we marry first!”

“We’re not married?!”

Tim tried to hold it together as he yelled out,

“Ch-change!”

“Fuck-can we get married?!”

Jason got to one knee,

“We can Danny! It’s legal in-“

“Change!”

“I-I know a guy!”

“Well that sounds perfect to me! Take me away Hoss!”

“Aaand scene! Nice one boys!”

Jason felt himself begin to color as he noticed his family whooping and hollering in the back.

“Fuck… of course my family had to walk in on this game..”

Danny for his part patted his back as he tried to ignore the similar issue that was his support system.

“That makes two of us Jay, that makes two of us.”

nico di angelo finds a recently revived jason todd, helps him recover from not being dead anymore and brings him to camp half blood when it becomes obvious he’s a demigod. and so begins the game of Who Is That Child’s Godly Parent?

some think it’s athena because he’s clearly smart and well versed in strategy

some others think it’s ares after seeing him fight

hermes cabin is convinced he’s one of theirs because the guy is one hell of a thief

turns out it was dionysus all along. jason knew since day one of course. he just inherited the dramatics from his dad, amongst other things, and wanted to see what would happen

[ghostofcorsetspast]

Headcanon that the batfamily starts a theatre troupe.

Jason is obviously the lead in all the tragedies cause he loves a good dramatic monologue. Bruce cries at all of the performances.

Jason asks Tim if he wanted to join and Alvin “I’ve had a secret identity planned since I was a small child” Draper goes 100% in. He scoops up Stephanie and they become the comedy improv duo.

Cass is stage crew, Duke does lights, Babs does tech but she also helps direct. Alfred is the main director.

Dick is the costume designer and everyone hates it (“discowing, how can we trust you???”) but he does a fantastic job.

Damian got roped in against his will and he turned out to be really good at it so he enjoys it now.

Bruce sometimes gets to play dramatic lead roles but mostly he just supports his kids.

RAAAAA RA RA I HAD NOTIFS ON FOR THISSS

but I get it I’m finishing up exams rn you’ve got this boss I’m sure you did great 💪💪💪💪

All I can envision is Jason with a partner who thinks the extra violence is stupid hot. And you know, maybe they don’t love murder, but they’re not gonna discourage their bf from achieving his goals!!!

He texts them at 2 in the morning: “I’m gonna kill someone in a Denny’s parking lot” and they respond (not even thirty seconds later) with: “whatever u say beautiful do u need help dumping the body”

and you know, it’s partially because after you learned what Jason went through, you felt like they had no right to tell him how to live his life. And it’s partially because you know when Jason kills somebody, they deserve it. And a tiny, miniscule part of you also cannot stop remembering Jason, covered in blood, chest heaving, after a guy jumped you in an alleyway and Jason beat the ever loving fuck out of him before taking you back home.

HELL YEAH BABE!!! also i did unfortunately fail. apparently writing hardcore smut doesn't help you in calculus :(

You would not have thought that your first feeling upon seeing your boyfriend covered in the blood of a man who had his hand wrapped around your throat approximately 11 seconds ago would be lust, but fuck Jason looked divine. There's something so gorgeous and ethereal about him when he looks like that. You're not sure if it's the blood or how he defended you. probably both.

But that image of him standing tall over you like some sort of fucked up guardian angel would be seared into your brain forever. You'd be lying if you said you weren't transported back to that moment every time he came back to your apartment covered in some other threat's blood. Something about it shuts your brain off. It makes you feel safe, proves you're safe. He's protecting you. His chest is heaving up and down after the adrenaline rush, and his throat is moving with the effort of breathing.

You shake your head and snap out of your thoughts as you reread the message he sent you.

hey im about to have to kill someone in a denny's parking lot. can you get my hydrogen peroxide out for me?

Your face is heated with the image of how he will look when he comes home. You know that if you play your cards right you can get him to make out with you with the blood still splattered on his face.

You text back.

whatever you say beautiful. let me know if you need anything else <3

Is it bad that you can't wait to see blood in his hair? probably. nope. definitely.

Jason Todd would be the drama queen who listens to "No One Mourns the Wicked" and be like "That's so me-coded"

[Podfic Link] | Length: 24 minutes, 26 seconds

Original Work: Lights Up! by hoebiwan

Batfam: Jason Todd, Talia al Ghul, Ra's al Ghul, Damian Wayne

Rating: General Audiences

Summary: 

“For the last time, Jason,” Talia said, “I am not teaching you how to write about murder. I’m teaching you how to plot murder.” Jason turned a blank expression upon her, well-honed from dealing with Bruce whenever he said something incomprehensible. “I don’t get it,” Jason said. “It’s the same picture.” In which Jason uses his resurrection as an excuse to be the most annoying theatre kid ever.

Notes: recorded during Voiceteam 2024 but put on hold to perfect the editing as it was the @fandomtrumpshate request from hoebiwan! So proud to be able to participate in such an important fandom event and to be able to pod this wonderful fic for a wonderful friend of mine.

do you guys think jason cried when philip died in hamilton

[bendyw0man]

Head canon-

Jason Todd was a total theater kid. Like, full on knowing the songs and dances of each musical.

He used to sneak into the local theater in Gotham to watch them, or go to the schools (At least, the ones that could afford putting on musicals)

When Jason went on patrol as Robin, he would be caught humming songs from Cats.

Around the Batcave, he would do the dances when he thinks no one’s watching (Bruce is standing in the corner with equal parts confusion and endearment)

As the Red Hood, codes would frequently be lines from musicals—even though goons were oblivious to this.

They say that to this day, he can be heard still humming songs from Cats, a habit even his grave couldn’t stop.
