anyway i bring that up because i think jason's singular hobby is that he's a line cook. which you would argue isn't a hobby at all and i would agree with you but Jason doesn't know how to have fun outside of the context of work and restaurants take all kinds of nutjobs. he interviews and shit and gets the job because he doesn't care about things like "being paid" a "livable wage" and seemed like he was on the least amount of drugs at the time of the interview. upon showing up the first day he's getting settled on the line and the servers come in to be like hey whats up man welcome and like the 5th server is none other than dick grayson. they look at each other in silent horror for 5 seconds before dick visibly comes to some sort of decision and is like. Hi Man I'm Rich Nice To Meet You. and jason is like. im jason. and then they have to pretend not to know each other from there on out until dick gets fired for exhibiting freak behaviors

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter

Arthur Conan Doyle 🤝 Robert Pattinson

Two men who did a silly little thing and were made to regret it for the rest of their lives

RIP Arthur Conan Doyle. You would’ve hated us for still obsessing over a man you hated so much that you had to kill him.

Jason: “I’m NOTHING like Bruce, okay? We’re not even that similar. That’s all in your head.”

Dick, perched on Jason’s couch watching him gear up, sipping a Batburger shake: “so you’re NOT about to go deal with your emotions by going out on patrol and beating people up?”

Jason: *sets down the brass knuckles he was just holding* *stares off into the distance*

Jason: “These are just…for my — look, I don’t like your fucking tone, Richard.”

the thing is, I so believe that they actually DID do all these drills. Like, batman would. he would make them. there would be a powerpoint after, 400 slides, 9 hour debrief.

the batkids all have a running joke with non-family members and mission partners where they stumble across something ridiculous and just casually throw out a “oh yeah Batman and I ran into this once” or a “B taught me how to do that actually” despite literally never having done/seen the thing before.

it started out as a joke and then it became a way to keep civilians and fellow heroes from panicking when things go sideways with an audience.

massive glowing alien that sucks out your soul? Batman fought one a few years back. defusing a nuclear bomb? B had them drilling on that once, actually. seance to rescue a civilian girl from a haunted sewer? not to fear, Batman had them do a whole unit on rescue spellwork actually

Tim hiding all his expenses in the batarang budget is a personal belief that you can pry out of my cold, dead hands

Bruce, three weeks previous: *glaring at the batcomputer* Tim, why does it say I spent . . . Four hundred dollars on . . . A grocery run????? Tim, who has funneled money through the batarang budget to buy himself a car before, and is fully aware Steph spent that money on candy, blankets and a projector for the last Batkid movie night: idk Bruce, it was Steph and Cass. Maybe like, menstrual products. You know those are expensive nowadays. Bruce: *nodding sagely* seems right. I have R&D on that, by the way

Summary: Jason Todd's life from 11 to 20, told through the AO3 author's notes on his classic literature fanfiction.

Talia: *attempting to calm a newly conscious Jason Todd* I am sure this must come as a shock to you, child, but it’s been three years since- Jason: *jolting up in bed, scaring the shit out of five watching assassins* FUCK, MY FICS HAVE GONE UN-UPDATED FOR THREE YEARS? Talia: Jason: I PROMISED MY SUBSCRIBERS— Ra’s: *leaning over to Talia* what is a . . “Fic”? Talia: *shrugs*
