Jason's days in the league of assassin's with toddler Damian (1 y.o.)

In the dead of night, baby Damian cried alone in his crib, haunted by a terrifying nightmare. No one had come to check on him and sadly, this was a common occurrence, as Ra’s didn't want Talia coddling the child too much. Jason, who had long since stopped fearing Ra’s refused to follow the old man's orders.

When he heard the baby's cries echoing down the hall Jason rushed to Damian’s bedroom. He entered quietly and instinctively scooped up the trembling child.

Jason (comforting the baby): Hey, you're okay. Don’t cry, you’re not in danger.

Baby Damian sniffled, wiping his tear-stained eyes.

Jason (rubbing Damian's cheek): Had a bad dream?

Damian, seeming to understand the question, nodded, babbling and crying. Though he was just a baby and Jason couldn’t decipher what nightmares his brother had, it was bad enough to see the child trembling in fear.

Jason: Yeah, I had a few bad dreams when I first got here. Night terrors, is a better word. They were awful, zombies, clowns, a guy in a batsuit, a demon woman, symbolic stuff. What does a baby have nightmares about?

He knew he was mostly talking to himself, but holding the scared little one softened his heart. Raising his foster father's secret love child wasn’t part of his plan for this new life, but right now, Damian was young and innocent, certainly not a brat, at least not yet.

Jason: Whatever it is, it’s got you trembling. I got you, don't mind staying here for a few minutes.

He gently wiped Damian’s tears while cradling him, pacing around the room. His rhythmic footsteps seemed to soothe the infant.

Jason: I don’t like that they just let you holler in a dark room until you tire yourself to sleep. Especially when I know those assholes are awake! Don’t say “asshole” Damian.

Damian babbled softly, staring at the ceiling. The tears hadn’t stopped, even with Jason’s comforting presence. Jason slowly paced around the room, keeping Damian in his arms.

Jason (speaking softly as he paced): I remember when I was little, my stepmom, before she was heavily addicted to drugs, used to come into my room and sing to me. She loved Elvis. I was more into Jimi Hendrix, but we got along despite this. Crazy, right?

Jason chuckled softly at the memory, though Damian didn’t quite understand why.

Jason: Sorry, went off-topic. She always sang the same song. She wasn’t the best singer, but it helped get me back to sleep... she had such a gentle singing voice. I remember the lyrics to this day. Maybe they’ll help you, or if not, you can just puke on me.

He glanced at the open bedroom door, then quietly walked backward and closed it, if he was going to sing to a baby in the castle of an assassin, he wanted some privacy.

Jason (in a tender singing voice): Wise men say, "Only fools rush in"… But I can't help… falling in love with you…

He picked up Damian’s baby blanket, gently wiping away tears as he sang.

Jason (continuing): Shall I stay? Would it be a sin? If I can't help falling in love with you?

Damian looked up at his big brother, his expression blank at first, which made Jason pause for a moment.

Jason (softly, doubtful): I’m not the best singer. You probably—

Damian reached up suddenly, placing his tiny hand on Jason’s cheek. Though he couldn’t speak, through his soft, trusting eyes, Jason understood, he wanted him to stay and sing.

Jason settled into a rocking chair in the room, gently rocking Damian until sleep claimed him.

Jason (singing again): Like a river flows, surely to the sea, darling, so it goes… some things are meant to be... Take my hand, take my whole life, too. For I can’t help falling in love with you.

Damian’s eyelids fluttered closed, his breathing slowing as the panic from earlier faded away, replaced by the comfort of sleep.

Jason: You know, I kill people. But I’m surprisingly good with kids. Is that ironic? Or am I just… an anti-hero? To be fair, I only kill the bad guys. Not you, though.

He booped Damian’s nose, making him giggle softly.

Jason (continuing to rock him): Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone this happened, and you don’t let slip that… I’m starting to like you.

He sighed quietly, accepting that he might not be able to train Damian into a little assassin of his own parents. Damian still had a chance at a decent life. Though he’d turned cold to the world, Jason knew he wanted to be there for his little brother, until Damian grew into the mischievous kid then it'd be acceptable to pick on his little brother.

Marceline’s relationship with her father is so interesting. I think she isn’t afraid of him fucking her up again so much as she hates that she knows he can be loving. He has the potential to be good to her and he just Isn’t. He’s Bad And Awful to her and she knows that.

I think when someone has been treated badly by someone they love for so long, being treated with love and kindness by that person can be scarier than being thrown aside like garbage. Really feel like this is what Marcie feels about her father in the context of Adventure Time, because she clearly still trusts him and loves him despite him being just so awful.

I think Hunson stealing her fries is an important scene as well. Marceline uses music as an emotional outlet, something to do when she wants to get out her ugly feels but keep the vibe going. Her writing a song about Hunson stealing her fries is important because she clearly was upset enough about this that she felt compelled to use this coping mechanism she’s developed even after all those years. The lyrics stick out to me particularly because it clues viewers in to exactly how Marcie feels about her and her father’s relationship.

In the second half of the song she says “Daddy, do you even love me? Well, I wish you’d show it, ‘cause I wouldn’t know it” which is just So Incredibly Heartbreaking. She clearly WANTS her father’s love but she doesn’t know if he wants to love HER. He’s clearly not great at showing his affection for his own daughter, and when he tries he just ruins things for her because he does what he wants instead of what she wants. It’s why she was trying to not to let him know about her concert. It’s why she tells him he ruins everything, because he literally does.

Hunson also seems completely unaware of WHY she dislikes him, even after we see him destroy her makeshift house as a child and steal the fries she got for herself.

Circling back to the fries scene, the important takeaway isn’t that she was upset about the fries, it’s that she saw her father for who he really is. Someone who would steal from her, take what was hers, and somehow make her feel bad about it. Maybe that’s not exactly what she saw here, but this scene clearly affected her enough to leave behind a lot of bad memories later on in life that she later turned into a song.

Idk, this is just how I feel about it. I think I got a little redundant here and there but it probably all makes coherent sense.

Huh, new official Will Wood playlists

sorry but Rio is Nicky's father because

a) she just is, they're lesbian witches who have magic and they're in love, also Rio is death which also makes her partly life (it's literally in her name, river of life) so she used that to give Nicky life

b) its written in the score sorry I don't make the rules
