You know what? I think Jason should be a bit more unhinged about his death. I'm not talking about death jokes or "did you die?" comments or even the angst filled moments that we've been getting, which I respect in their own right.... but I'm thinking more along the lines of him carrying dirt from his grave around in a little pendant that he wears around his neck 90% of the time... using his coffin as a table or bookshelf...having a stain glass window in his actual apartment that has a depiction of the angel that stands over his grave...

I wish he would be allowed to actually enjoy his second life more...but I also think it be interesting to see him have a more macabre fascination with his death without linking it to Bruce...

#jason todd #this may be a cold take #but I just can't help but to wonder #yknow?#what if hecomes to look wistfully on his death while also having it be one of the most traumatic defining moments of his life #what if he has claustrophobia and hates the smell of smoke #but then looks at flowers in the park and distantly wonder how it would feel to be underneath them #what if there's anger and fear and sadness and wistfulness when he thinks about waking up in that coffin #what if; for a few moments; his death wasn't about how he 'failed' Bruce #but how he had been betrayed and beaten and suffocated #right before experiencing actual peace for the second or third time in his life #only to have even that ripped away from him #or maybe I'm just trying to make a puddle into a pool.
