I'm sorry I know this is wrong of me I know I need to fight the urge, but I'm gonna be honest........ the muzzle is kinda hot

When the hood’s down and you can see the strap in the back… woof woof

Dick Grayson and Jason Todd solving a case together

Deaging fics about Jason are always a bit odd for me because I just can’t stand the loss of autonomy being viewed as a good thing. He is stripped bear of all his life experiences he is no longer the Jason who knows how Bruce has failed him or how they will become so different morally. So Bruce gets to swoop in and raise him again better than the last time so he doesn’t become the Red Hood. This is only a positive outcome if you remove every single thing that makes Jason a human and just use him as a human pillow to make Bruce feel better. Bruce doesn’t have to do the work of being more understanding and Jason doesn’t get to do anything on his own terms. This isn’t a story about Bruce being a better father to Jason it’s a story about him being a better father to a completely different person who he can mold in his image to turn out better than Jason.

It's most likely just Starlin trying to get to Jason dying faster because he did not like Robin, but the whole "Jason's spiraling because of his grief for his parents" thing they were trying to spin was honestly really weird, not supported by the rest of the run INCLUDING the parts Starlin wrote, and kinda reads like an unreliable narrator situation because all of the information supporting it is given through Bruce's narration, him speculating on Jason's thoughts and actions.

#do i think this was Jim Starlin's intent? ehhhhhh probably not #but it's fun how well everything adds up when you think about the subtext and implications outside of what's explicitly given #like Jason sees several predators go free under Batman's eye gets murdered then shows up believing that Batman fails at deterring evil? #surely these incidents could be related to each other #idk it's just fishy to me that Jason's grief is only spoken of by Alfred and narrated by Bruce #and his reactions to the deaths of over a dozen women and his dad's murder being covered up go unmentioned by both #“Jason doesn't talk about his parents lately” Jason has hard conversations through notes + refuses to talk about anything upsetting at all #he has his own narration in other parts of the story but somehow never mentions the grief he's said to feel (op's tags)

Got you

Some batfam members that I felt like drawing!! Some day I will do others....... but that day is not today 🐋✨ I tried to experiment a bit more with the colors and shapes! Had to improvise the bgs for the two who don't have a cape o(-(

so many people miss the point of what jason was doing when he made himself the red hood. the red hood is A Bad Guy, not A Hero (NOT a Bat). this means he's not following vigilante justice rules, which allows him to do what he wants to do.

ironically this is best illustrated, imo, in a story where the opposite happens; where being A Bad Guy bars him from taking action. in "outsiders: pay as you go" (vol. 3. #44-46 + annual #1), jefferson pierce is in jail, having turned himself in after being tricked into thinking he'd committed murder. jason finds out about it by spying on deathstroke, and he goes with this information to dick and his team (which includes anissa pierce), and later also warns them about a hit being put on jefferson.

I once saw a post that interpreted these actions as jason seeking help for a jailbreak he couldn't pull off on his own. ridiculous lol, especially as this is written by winick, who loves his hyper-competent jason (he's the one who made him that way, after all). jason doesn't even participate in the jailbreak, because the red hood is A Bad Guy. as he himself says, jefferson is a hero, one of The Good Guys, made to second-guess himself and take himself off the board.

the way to restore him to heroism is NOT by having a notorious criminal break him out of prison. what would that accomplish, even if jefferson himself allowed it? (he would not. hell, his instinct is to distrust the information because of who it comes from lol). it would not prove his innocence, and in fact it'd probably make things worse for him.

so instead jason goes to The Heroes (to dick, in particular; anissa's presence could've been a consideration, maybe as a fellow child-of-a-felon, but it was dick, and dick's values, that he was trusting here). he gives them the information and the means necessary to help and save jefferson, but he doesn't publicly intervene himself. because he's A Bad Guy, and they don't go to the rescue.

A Little Secret♥️

Hope in the ashes

I had an idea.

This could be either Dickjay or Jaytim, choose a favourite, hell put all three of them together.

The point is, Jason realises he has a crush on a batboy of your choosing and after the first freakout, he decides that fuck it, they're all adults they can do whatever they want. But, he needs to be sneaky about it, the bats are all repressed disasters with emotional intelligence of a brick.

So he sets up a plan, nice 100 step plan with all the proper contingencies to get his love interest at first comfortable with him and then eventually seduce him. And I'm talking extremely thorough detailed plans, this needs to be perfect, He needs to be perfect. Toss in some self-esteem issues for flavor.

At the same time said love interest also has a realisation and comes to the exact same conclusion, Bruce fucked all of them up in the emotions department, so he needs a good detailed plan if he wants to stand a chance.

So now you have two, or three if you decide to go that route, genius dumbasses dancing around each other. The misunderstandings, the pining, the colliding plans. Even better if they recruit friends for strategy meetings and to help with execution.

Do you see my vision?

Watch out, you can fall
