#Both because he hates clowns and for Mama Harley

[goldengirlgalaxy]

Danny runs to Gotham after a reveal with his parents gone wrong. Bruce Wayne ends up catching on to the fact that he's a homeless kid in need of a good home. Danny, however, does not want to deal with another rich, potentially-insane, definitely-obsessed A-hole, so he does his best to steer clear of him. Doubly so when Batman takes an interest, as he want to put his hero days behind him.

Eventually, Danny, sick of running and wanting a way to make the two stop hunting him, decides that he should let someone else adopt him instead. Cut to him being found by Harley Quinn, who decides that she should totally pull a Bruce and adopt this black-haired, blue-eyed child. Hopefully Ivy won't mind!

Comicbook women

I don't know why but women in most mediums don't really feel all that interesting as characters compared to male characters and I feel like this is more so the case in comics.

As the female in stories are just never really as compelling, such as love interests they can be kinda bland or pretty quickly summed up. It's possible that I just haven't really been up to date with following those kinds of characters or they've never really been my favorite. When I look at characters like Harley Quinn as they've been churned out, I feel like whatever depth she had, to begin with, has been stripped down to "hot mess badass clown lady" like if her story is about the joker's abuse it seems like it's a passing footnote of her backstory now, she was just always crazy and kickass. I think these characters come in 3 flavors: - villian that can fuck/flirt with the hero and it's not gay - love interest - There you have a female role model will you stop bugging us about it now? With flavor 1 villian that can fuck/flirt with the hero and it's not gay, I think that if your other characters seem better fleshed out and intriguing, with better chemistry or potential for banter or angst, that's how gay pairings just seem more interesting than whatever lady love interest they throw in there. Like I can see batmanxjoker or batmanxharvey being more intriguing plot relationships than Selina or Talia, just as they are, or even Harley or poison ivy. If we want to pair Bruce with a clown who's more interesting Joker or Harley? I think Joker-like they're both toxic and half the time writers are saying they're just made for each other. Poison Ivy? she's probably her least interesting when she's trying to seduce Bruce.

I feel like this archetype is just made for the "step on me dommy mommy" fetish or "let's stick the dick in crazy" and not much else. I don't know if it's because of stock melodrama that's just dulled the appeal of straight pairings or the completely borderline toxic behavior from it, that those stories just don't stick or feel genuine as a legit interesting romantic option. flavor 2 love interest, it generally seems like this character is usually an accessory. If the male hero is with a lady love, you know there's no way you can call them gay no sir no homo here so don't try to pair him with any of the guys because he's already with someone. This is the case that the female love interest is not really a character other than she's pretty and the main man likes her for some nondistinct reason (she's nice). What's her name or general disposition towards the male main character? I dunno doesn't matter, does he care about her? of course! why like who even is she? uhh... These characters if they serve a plot are usually fridged or baby mamas and then fridged because parents must be executed unless they can serve as an antagonist or be the bad abusive parent. I feel like Talia is done the greatest disservice here, where she just exists to give context to why Damian is a very skilled fighter and not just a normal kid and her character gets further assassinated so Bruce can be the better parent without lifting a finger. As if you can't be the bad parent if mom is a murderer training a little murderer that you use in your fight against crime, just because the little gremlin came pre-trained he'll be alright on his own you don't need to interact with it, the kid's a killer and that ain't on you. flavor 3, There you have a female role model will you stop bugging us about it now? this includes basically a gender-bent what would have been a dude character, but this is more of a character that just "I'm badass too and I don't need no man" character. I personally find them to be really bland like they just hate guys because they're strong and independent and not much else because all we're looking for is an empowering female character, not an interesting one. This character to me feels like the equivalent of slamming two action figures together until one of them breaks, but one of the action figures is traded out for a barbie. Like it's not bad because it's barbie and she's pretty, it's bad because it's still boring.

I'm not more excited for the outcome of the fight because the power level is now over 9000 and I'm not any more impressed because a woman is the one who wields the power of over 9000. These characters because they're so strong and more importantly independent don't feel like they have any bearings with everyone else around them, if they die no one in the universe would really mourn them other than maybe losing a strong team member (which would be unlikely for them to die because they're the only female representation and women would riot or the team comp becomes a full sausage fest with no, assumed completely necessary, sex appeal for the straight male audience to enjoy, maybe it's a loss for lesbians too but I don't know how real the thirst is for you guys) and if someone else dies around them it's a 50/50 chance that they let out a singular tear and then move on. This is applicable to boring too manly to care about anybody male characters, this just makes a boring character.

All in all, I'm not calling for more female characters, or more female writers (You can be female and still suck at writing). This isn't about a sexy lamp test or negative or lack of diverse representation. These characters are just boring. I'm fine with 1 to 3 characters like this male or female, it's just weird that for female characters I need to wrack my brain for characters that aren't just 1 or 2 of these flavors. I think the only extra secret flavor of the female character is the "need to take care of the baby" which is just the damsel trope, which is not even a bad trope so I don't really count it. The only character I can think of that isn't one of the aforementioned flavors is from more recent kid shows because you can't sell sex in those

Headcanon for JJ!Tim and Jason because I've too many ideas right now (it would probably be like that in most of my fics with JJ and JayTim in them).

Tim was adopted by Harley and Ivy (A really nice idea anon gave me and I'm writing it right now) which means that except from what he's stealing he doesn't have lots of things/money

And Jason found out that Tim's biological parents didn't spend much on him

So Jason started buying Tim things that he wants

Tim's surprised every time it happens and he looks at Jason like he's the most amazing person in the universe.

Jason's hiding food in their bedroom in case there would be lack of food (years of not knowing when will be the next time he'll eat)

Tim finds out one day

Someday Jason found a lot of chocolate bars and on all of them a drawing of a heart in a blue pen.

Tim's terrified of the idea of getting electriced

So Jason's making sure to explain Tim what he's making to eat if it including water and electrical machines

Jason also makes sure to never go in the bathroom with his phone because Tim looked at him with this terrified eyes and asked what if somehow water will hit the phone and there would be an electric shock.

Bruce once found out that Jason bought Tim what Tim wanted to steal

He thought that this is a way to make Jason feel welcome to come back home and to make Tim stop stealing, two robins with one stone right?

Wrong.

Jason likes being Tim's "sugar daddy" and he's the only one out of Tim's adopted family who is allowed to buy Tim things

Bruce regret it.

Damian hate Tim, he believes that this "clown boy" making Todd stay with him just to make father and Richard miserable.

Dick hate Tim because he think that Jason deserve better than JOKER Junior.

Alfred sends them meals in the holidays and their birthdays.

One time Jason had to go help Roy with something

He didn't want to leave Tim alone because "Mama and mom will break out don't worry, I can call aunty kitty"

"Aunty kitty" was traveling somewhere so Tim promised to be a good boy and not blow fireworks in the apartment

Jason got a call in three a.m from hysterical Tim

It took Jason half an hour to convince Tim that he's fine and the Joker will never hurt him again.

Jason loves to hug or cuddle Tim

It's so shooting when he wakes up in the middle of the night, his heart beat fast and he's sure he's still six feet deep and he can't-

But then Tim tighs his hug and kissing his neck and it's easy to remember that everything is fine because Tim is safety.

They both fear from drowning, Jason because the pit and Tim because of the acid.

So there's no baths in the house, only showers.

There was this one time that Jason got dossed with fear toxin and Tim had found him

The bad thing about that is the fact that seeing Jason in this state somehow triggered Tim's own trauma and he started laughing and laughing-

And when Jason wakes up in one of his safehouses, his hands covered in dry blood and Tim's on the floor with bloody face and not responding to Jason-

Scarecrow had a nice visit from Tim's mama, mom and aunty kitty.

And I could go on for days but I'll have to stop myself here, hope you enjoyed it!
