I like to think that whenever anyone is sick at Wayne Manor, they are put on lockdown

Not for their own well being, but for the sake of poor spleenless Tim

And it has probably led to a scenario like this:

Jason: It’s just a cold there is no reason to lock me in my room Tim isn’t even here

Dick: Did you get your flu shot?

Jason: Well no not yet but the doc-

Dick: *absolutely messing with him* I can’t believe that you didn’t get your flu shot day one of flu season how inconsiderate of you. Your poor baby brother, I bet your plan was to get “the replacement” off of duty for a bit all along huh?

Jason: I-

Tim: *playing along over the phone, is actively across the country* Wow dude can’t believe you’d try to get me sick is this because I sent Roy that pic of you on patrol the other day because this is low even for you bro tsk tsk

not to be a hater or anything but why is some “smut” fics, written so.. abusive relationship coded?? Like I feel like you guys need the FBI to search your house atp, WTF DO YOU MEAN “as he entered an empty lightbulb in her entrance.” Excuse me I saw that in a “dick Grayson x reader smut fic btw and I’m pretty sure that’s what actually happened to a girl in some sort of famous Japanese crime case if I’m not wrong??

Batfamily damn good ao3 tags

This is a list of ao3 tags about batfamily that I think deserve to be used more (semi-serious list)

Canon tags:

• Bruce Wayne's Love Language ('cause yes, we need it) • Cassandra Cain is a Wayne (Because I say so) • Bruce Wayne Gets a Hug (There are many gen fanfics with batkids being comforted but far less with Bruce. Let's give him hugs too.) • Crying Bruce Wayne (I used it once (1) time, it was good, I recommend it) • Damian Wayne Acts Like a Kid (Honestly one of my favorites) • Jason Todd Calls Bruce Wayne "Dad" (I'm just so weak for this tag) • Damian Wayne Has a Heart (he's a kid, stop treating him like a 2D hater murderer) • Batman Needs a Robin (DCU) (I just like this) • Tim Drake Lies to Bruce Wayne (it's a beautiful tag and you know it) • Bruce Wayne Adopts Cassandra Cain (There are like 10 fanfics with this tag. I object) • Stephanie Brown Disobeys Orders (do it for chaos or for angst) • Damian Wayne Tries to Be a Good Sibling (I'm weak for this too) • Evil Genius Tim Drake (just for fun) • Fashion Disaster Dick Grayson (I laughed so hard the first time I read this)

Fanon/not yet canon tags (tags that I have used or seen around on ao3 but that are not recognized as canonical tags):

• Bruce Wayne Adopts Duke Thomas (I will make this tag canon or die trying) • Confused Justice League (not really a batfamily tag but close) • Jason Todd and Damian Wayne escape the League of Assasins (I see this as a sort of subtag of "Jason Todd and Damian Wayne Meet in the League of Assassins" but we should make it a canonical tag) • DC stands for Disregard Canon (It makes me laugh and we use it a lot) • Stephanie Brown Swears (There is a canon tag for Jason's swearing but not for Steph? Unfair) • Sarcastic Stephanie Brown (I just need this to be canon) • Alfred Pennyworth Makes Mistakes (Don't hate me, you know what can happen)

Maybe I'll do a part two. Let me know if you want it <3

So, there’s this painting of Clytemnestra by John Collier which shows her right after killing her husband after he had killed her daughter? The painting’s incredible and she has this look in her eyes that is captivates me.

Anyway, here’s Alfred inspired by Clytemnestra, the idea being what would have happened if, after Jason died, Alfred sort of snapped. Idk if this is him killing the Joker or Bruce or whatever, just a sort of thought experiment.

On the other hand it's incredibly funny that people are actually accepting that Bruce, of all people, would be outsmarted by the assigned 'dumbest' member of the bat cast. Or do they simply not draw the connection?

Why Do People Think Jason Todd is the "Dumb" Robin?

I just saw your post defending Jason's intelligence. THANK YOU for that! But I wanted to know why people think of him as the dumb Robin?

In the comics, has anyone OBJECTIVELY described Jason Todd as a moron? Was low intelligence ever listed as one of his weaknesses? Was he ever portrayed as a class clown or something?

Maybe it's because fans wanted to typecast someone as the "dumb jock" and Jason's physique fit the stereotype?

I'm just trying to understand how this belief started out. Is there any basis for it? Even in his more controversial portrayals?

Jason was never described as anything below extremely intelligent when he was Robin. This applies to both pre and post-crisis, but I know people like to whine about how Jason stans confuse pre-crisis Jason’s personality with post-crisis. (Generally people who don’t read comics or don’t understand how crisis worked. Jason’s core character traits stayed largely the same. Even if that was not true, crisis did not erase all of Jason’s time as Robin from prior; it was gently added to his post-crisis run as Robin.)

Jason was described as brash and reckless and angry only after Tim became Robin, so that Bruce (& DC) could be absolved of blame over his death + to make Tim seem like a better Robin in comparison. They were probably worried people weren’t actually willing to just accept a new Robin like Tim, mainly because he wasn’t as skilled as Dick or Jason, so DC overcompensated. Two birds with one stone, I guess. So, not very objective at all, considering it was all done to paint a picture of Jason that very blatantly opposed what was actually true.

UTRH, the defining story for who Jason is post resurrection, very clearly made Jason outsmart Bruce on every level. Bruce never ‘caught’ Jason, it was a planned reveal and confrontation and everything. Following UTRH, Jason was viewed as a dangerous threat in every appearance. N52 Outlaws sucked, but even that didn’t generally ignore Jason’s intelligence. I think it’s generally agreed upon that Battle for the Cowl is the worst portrayal of Jason…ever. But even then, it doesn’t treat Jason like some second rate villain. If Morrison was going to make him a villain, he should’ve showed off his skills a little more, but that isn’t to say that Jason wasn’t a major threat. Basically the only person in BftC that was on Jason’s level was Dick, and it wasn’t like Dick didn’t take him seriously. And that continued on after BftC, and right up until the reboot. What’s important to note is that Jason wasn’t even actually ‘caught’ as Dick’s villain either, he let himself be taken to Arkham. He lost because of his emotions, same as in UTRH, not because he couldn’t mentally keep up with Dick or Bruce (who are well established as some of the smartest people in the DC universe).

It is N52 & Rebirth that decided to cement the Red Hood as some trigger happy idiot instead of the highly trained threat ther came up with a plan to fuck with both Batman and the Green Arrow (and Speedy) in like an evening. And succeeded. Just because he felt like it. Coincidentally, Jason being dumbed down often went hand-in-hand with Jason & Tim suddenly being buddy-buddy. But it wasn’t just that. Most recently, we have Urban Legends’ Cheer story showing Jason being what fanon has wanted for years: an idiot that doesn’t know when not to think with his guns. But never has Jason been called an idiot without the intent to kick his actual intelligence under the table. It’s always characters with some sort of bias, in some way.

We have, however, had a monitor (different scale of ‘feelings’ than humans; literally was not possible for this mf to be biased) say this in response to Jason figuring out what was going on with Donna, Duela and himself (this was some messy universal error stuff, by the way. He went off of like a few words from one interaction and half a connection. And he was right):

Countdown to Final Crisis #46

As for why fans characterize Jason that way, it’s half just being lazy and assuming he must be an idiot cuz they think he looks the part of the “dumb jock”. People always reduce characters to stupid things (like Stephanie’s personality, according to fanon, is waffles & sass & also being an idiot). That’s not out of the ordinary, but the point about Steph also being labelled as an idiot in fanon brings me to the worst reason that Jason is mischaracterized on such a large level over something that should never have been contestable: classism. Plain and simple. Not to pick on Tim, but Tim was born a millionaire and has always been rich (yes, including when his dad lost his money. They were still living extremely comfortably, so it’s unfair to include him not being a millionaire anymore with Jason, Steph, Duke and Dick). It’s so easy for people to look at characters that are born into wealth and go to private schools, and just decide that they have to be the “smart one”. It doesn’t matter if that wasn’t even true originally. It doesn’t matter that the “idiot” Robins weren’t anything but geniuses until they had to be dumbed down for the benefit of an originally unrelated character, because they were from the streets. They have to be stupid, have poor vocabulary, never be able to keep up with other characters, etc. It’s really obvious when it’s Jason and Steph both receiving this treatment, especially considering that there’s more canon proof against these portrayals.

So, that’s that. There’s no real basis for it with either Jason or Steph. People are just stupid or stupid and classist.

This is so important to me

This reminds me of Batman the animated series. Like idk how to put it. But … the hero not just being someone to point out in the sky who comes and goes. but the hero being amongst the people and knowing them in an almost casual sense. Not hey it’s Batman jumping from roof to roof it’s hey Batman nice to see you again. Like yeah Batman can still be that cryptic being but seeing batman can also be like seeing an old friend, or greeting a good neighbor.

… and seeing the red hood / Jason be like that is everything to me. Makes me wanna cry. Dammit am I about to rewatch the animated series!!!??? Yes

Jason didn't find it a surprise that that would be Lucoa's reaction to the delicious meal. The same can be said about Darkness. He showed his own manners as her ate, smiling as he enjoyed the taste of the food.

He helped himself to the alcoholic drinks, opening up a whiskey and pouring it into a cup before drinking.

Closed RP: The Resort

((And RP w/ @tokufan400))

Jason is settling down after a long travel and a few adventures. He has arranged a three month stay at a resort on a tropical island.

He arrives only find out the employees made an error. His large suite is going to be shared with three other guests staying at the hotel. He can’t undo the arrangements now so he decided to meet with these guests. He wonder who they are.

He would reach the room and knock on the door.

Just a Bite.

Master Post | Next

Danny stared out at the busy street from behind his dumpster.

or well, not his dumpster, but it might as well be his considering how many nights he's spent sitting behind it like some rabid raccoon.

Two months ago, he would have been sleeping in his own bed. His glow-in-the-dark stars vaguely lighting up his room in soft luminescent colors. The sound of Jazz snoring in her sleep just a room over, his parents still milling around in the basement.

he would have just finished fighting the box ghost and collapsed onto his bed, the sound of his home lulling him to sleep.

Oh, how things can change in a blink of an eye.

No, instead of sleeping on his bed with his cartoon ghost sheets and NASA poster covered room, he's out here in some random dirty city, sleeping behind dumpsters.

dirty, grimy, rusty dumpsters.

"did you hear?" some lady dressed in a light blue summer dress asked, turning to look at her friend as they started to walk past. "Mr. Wayne donated another lump sum to that charity." she huffed, shaking her head like she had just said the most ridiculous thing she'd ever heard.

her friend stopped in the middle of the alley opening, her graying hair splaying in an ark as she twisted to face the other women. "my word! again? what the hell is that man thinking?"

the woman huffed, then smirked in amusement. "it's like he's shouting for the world to hear how desperate he is for attention. he thinks if he donates enough money to those scoudrails they'll love him or something. With how he's acting lately, it's like he wants all the street rats to barge into his home asking for money, food, and clothes."

her friend clicked her tongue in disgust, "I'd believe it. he has so many kids now, it's like he's running an orphanage. someone, anyone really, with black hair and some tragic story could walk right in and not even be noticed. they'd blend right in with the others."

"I heard it's genetic, his father was the same way before he met Martha. Bruce's blood son, Damian I believe, acts just like his father. the boy's been spotted taking stray cats and dogs inside. It wouldn't surprise me if the paper posted about him convincing his father for another sibling at some point."

the women then turned and started to walk away, their conversation slowly bleeding into the surrounding city ruckus.

Danny leaned back, resting his head against the crumbling brick behind him.

walk right in and not be noticed? wouldn't that be grand. He had heard of Mr. wayne and his gaggle of black-haired children. What were their names again? he could have sworn Sam told him before, in one of her rants about rich society.

Richard Grayson was the first, Danny remembered because Tucker had been making none stop dick jokes for a few hours. Danny didn't understand why the man would willingly go by Dick, but then again, who was he to question someone's name when he fights ghosts like Skulker and Technis on a daily basis?

Next was... Jason? Sam had mentioned there was a whole conspiracy theory of how his death was a cover-up. how all the unsolved crime community swore it was Bruce who killed the kid, that or the kid had some terminal illness that Bruce didn't want the media to know about.

thennnnnn-

Danny glanced around, trying to dig through his memories of Sam's rant. Dick: the orphaned circus act taken in the night his parents died. he's romanie? maybe, Danny wasn't too sure on that one. Jason: taken off the streets, one of his parents was out of the picture and the other one died of a drug overdose.

and then there was..... Tim! Right, Tim, the one who was Mr. Wayne's neighbor before his mother died and his dad went into a coma, then died later on. right, right. he was the known tech genius, the one who took over the company while Mr. Wayne stepped back for a while.

there were others? like, four others? Damian, the lady said he was the blood son sooo, that would imply he was the only bio kid.

who else was there? hmmmm.

well, either way, Danny's tired brain agreed with the women. someone, anyone, who looked vaguely like the other kids could walk right into the house and no one would notice.

it was a bad idea. a terrible one really. but. Danny was hungry.

he's been sleeping behind dumpsters for a few weeks now, he hadn't had anything good to eat in forever, and he was tired. (not as exhausted as he was back home, but still tired. who would have guessed he'd sleep more while homeless?)

he wasn't going to steal from people, his core wouldn't allow him to. and well, he's pretty sure Dan would have stolen already, so there was no way Danny was going to. not unless his life was at risk, and well? it wasn't right now, so no stealing.

but this? walking right into a house and blatantly taking food? right in front of them?

it wouldn't be stealing if he just flat-out didn't try to hide it. they'd be able to stop him and send him away. heck, he doubted he'd even make it past the front gate before they turned him away.

...

was he really going to do this?

...

yes, yes he was.

standing up, Danny started making his way out of the alleyway and over to the tall building with Wayne's name on it. It was a good place to start, maybe he could even find one of the kids and walk with them. or, even better, he could find Mr. Wayne and walk with him. he liked that better than following some kid around.

suddenly, a car honked right next to him, the window rolling down to reveal a tired and disheveled man behind the wheel. glancing up, Danny made eye contact with the taxi driver.

the man yawned and gestured for him to get in, already speaking before Danny could decline. "Mr. Wayne! Your father," yawn, "Father already paid for me to take you home. just hop in."

Danny blinked then glanced around, looking to see if the Wayne the man was talking about was around. nope. turning back, Danny spotted a green sticky note on the back seat.

well, alright then. guess he was getting into the taxi and doing this after all. Clockwork obviously approved if he messed with the timing of things.
