I don't know who needs to hear this, but reminder that Jason is in the same age group as Tim, Steph, and Cass. If you REALLY want to say he's not you have to say Cass isn't either because Cass is probably older than him. And is called "around Jason's age" a lot, regardless of if she's older.

Cass's 18th birthday happens in Batgirl 2000 #37, which was published in February 2003. (With a cover date of April 2003.) We know it's her 18th because in the 1st issue of Batgirl 2000 Babs calls her 17. Jason's happens in Detective Comics #790, which was published in January 2004. (With a cover date of March 2004). We know it's his 18th because Bruce outright says, "he would have been 18 today." After having already said, "Happy birthday, kid." to Jason's grave.

I know comic ages and timelines aren't always linear, but I think Jason's 18th birthday being published after Cass's is a good enough reason to think Cass is older.

actually can we stop talking about “deserve” when it comes to characters dying in fiction. not everything is a fable with a moral lesson to be learned. romeo and juliet didn’t “deserve” to die. bambi’s mom didn’t “deserve” to die. izzy dying in the finale doesn’t mean ofmd is saying that certain types of queer people “deserve” to die. fictional death can serve more narrative purposes than just punishment for the character doing the dying.

I feel like a Jason who doesn't kill shouldn't be using rubber bullets or crowbars, he should be using guns that shoot tranquilizers like that seems like such a more intuitive Jason (especially a Jason who is trying to reconcile with the batfam/Bruce) I don't get why dc writers don't go that direction (I'm kidding, of course. I know why. None of these people has read Batman: The Cult, that's why.)

Inspired by that one person who continued a fic after their best friend died...

Jason Todd had an ao3 account. Jason Todd had balls of steel and logged into the batcomputer. (Trying to figure out his username but I keep thinking BlueBird or CrimeAlleyBoy)

Bruce was well aware of this. He didn't think to log it out of the batcomputer, keeping the tab open just for Jason. He's read some of that stuff that Jason has written (mind you, the kid was an avid defender and writer of WonderBat). He found it rather cute and it wasn't like Bruce has never read fanfiction about himself (both Bruce and Batman).

And Jason? He wasn't really sure if Bruce knew but he didn't really care that much. And besides, being Robin made sure he was prepared for anything the Ao3 curse was going to throw at him. If that damn curse sent Riddler then his fist would be the solution.

There were around 20 fics in that damn account, ranging from his OTP that was WonderBat, some SuperBat, and the crack fics of Bruceman. (Jason would never allow himself to tell Dick his username but he sure as hell has his older brother beta read all the Bruceman fics. That man was one of the OGs and he wouldn't disgrace his brother.)

He avoids the Ao3 curse until it appears in the form of the Joker.

When Jason dies, Bruce keeps the tab open, making sure that the account doesn't log off. Because that was a part of his son. (When he missed Jason a tad too much at times, he'd read one of those ridiculous fics that would make his two eldest sons laugh.)

When it's around two months after Jason's death, Bruce gains the courage to post an announcement on his son's account, making sure his fans were well informed and not anticipating for the next chapter.

I'm sorry to announce that this account will no longer be posting any updates. This is the author's father and I must unfortunately inform you that my son has passed away. Thank you for being there for him and reading his stories...

The post is along those lines.

(Tim was an avid reader of that account and was utterly devastated when Robin's death was further confirmed through this post. Yes he knew this was Jason's account. Of course he did!)

But Jason comes back from the dead.

Sees his account again after getting out of the league. Sees Bruce's announcement and maybe it makes him feel a little better.

But Jason's a menace and the day he started posting fics was the day he vowed that he wouldn't let the Ao3 curse take him. He even announced that to his readers in his first story (WonderBat obviously)

He posts an entire fic of oneshots consisting of Batman with numerous members of the Justice League. In his end notes, it says:

Not even death can stop me. I write WonderBat in the face of Death and told him to fuck off.

The next few posts consist of Batman/Justice League, even a few Bruce/Justice League (yes, that includes Batman). And Bruce, with Jason's account still logged into the batcomputer, is mortified when he sees Tim shamelessly read a 5+1 fic of BatLantern on that huge ass screen.

I hope love finds me alive. I hope love finds me with light in my eyes. I hope it grabs a hold of my wrist and anchors me. Consumes me and grounds me at the same time. It looks in the eye says 'you do not disgust me.'

I hope it picks up my rotten pieces and says, 'I'll love them.'

I hope it understands that whatever I've done, I did it for love. In all my twisted actions and self destructive tendencies it understands that I did it for love.

I hope it grabs hold of my erratic heart, presses it's thumb against my pulse, and choose not to crush it. To bring it back to life instead. I hope it flips through my memories, grabs my book and says "I don't feel repelled by you."

I hope it understands. And accepts me.

Im thinking of.. boyfriend gavin reed whose favourite form of affection is holding hands..

all of these after MONTHS of dating and he's finally melted around u and dropped his cool guy act btw

finally done wth police work and ur getting into the back of a taxi together ? immediately reaches for ur hand and i assure you he isnt letting go until its time to get off

cuddling sessions when he insists on holding ur hand and u fall asleep like that. u wake up and he's still sleeping on ur chest, u readjust yourself and thinking ur gonna get up the first thing his body subconsciously does is tighten his hands with yours . you also wake up with his hand near yours, it couldnt stay intertwined the whole night but once he is a bit conscious, before opening his eyes his hands search for yours slowly and after locking it once again, u doze off for the 2nd time

u get up first and when ur brushing ur teeth with one hand and the other placed on the sink, he snakes one arm around ur waist and traces your arm with the other to eventually lock your fingers together

during kisses too! no matter how quick or how passionate your kisses are, he always tries to sneakily hold your hand, its like they have a mind of their own . and afterwards he'd always give u that shit eating grin. stupid bastard.

i wonder if there was ever a chance of shen jiu and liu qingge geting along. like, did liu qingge think sj was like a pampered master? but there are clear differences between people who were born to wealth and who got it later (at least i think so), so shouldn't he be able to tell the difference? and besides that, i don't think that besides his appearance, sj got many "young mastery" things going on

that is to say, i wish that there was ever a chance of seeing them interact more. sj might be intentionally awful but lqg just unknowingly dropped bomb after another (like when they were choosing the desciples. or maybe knowingly but he was not aware of the real efect he had i guess)

i'm trying to think about it and i don't think they could get along without like reliable third party. sj would never admit it if he had non hateful feeling towards lqg (i doubt he would like recognize them. i think the real link sj and sy had was the amout of delusion and self gaslighting they were able to subject themselves to) and lqg seems like he would just not care if it was a person he disliked (sj in question)

but that dislike is grounded on misunderstaning and lack of like, heart to heart? (writing that with them in question made me cringe. one tries to not have a heart and the other is very particular who he shows the hart to and drop kicks the rest)

but that seems to be like, every relationship in here, and usually it takes one party to die (or die several times, yes sqq im looking at you) and many years for the truth to come up. every except moshang? i am yet to read the official extras but from what i remember it went well for them. truly an author of the story, using his godly powers to avoid dying before getting his feelings out there
