Just reblogging some stuff, mostly fandom related; and sometimes writing a bit of rant or an enthusiastic outbreak. Whatever comes to mind

Standard disclaimer: It is perfectly fine to love Wayne Family Adventures, just like it's fine to enjoy Tiny Titans and Lil Gotham. It's even fine to prefer WFA to the main comics!

But I kinda disagree with some fans labeling WFA's representation of Jason's trauma as "correct" or "accurate" or "proper".

There is no one single "correct" way to represent trauma/PTSD.

Many don't have panic attacks. Many don't have logical or obvious triggers. Some respond in ways that are messy, difficult, isolating, angry, destructive, ugly, frustrating, exhausting, hurtful, cruel—bad.

The Red Hood from the original comics? The Red Hood in the animated movie and and in the Arkham games and in Injustice 2? He responds to his trauma by trying to forcefully take control over his life, his home, and his parent.

His trauma is not nicely packaged. His trauma didn't make him a sweeter, more lovable person. His trauma prompted him to become ruthless and obsessed with taking control.

Jason's trauma response has been represented. Some versions are less pretty than others.

That! It’s boring and annoying me that fanon seems to reduce Jason to a little angsty cinnamon roll who just wants to get a hug from Batdad. Might actually write down my thoughts on that later...
