Hey, um… with the whole “Bluejay!Jason” concept… has anybody ever considered it as an Inkheart reference instead of just a play off his name?
Follow me here, and sorry in advance, this turned into a ramble.
In the second book of the Inkheart trilogy, Inkspell, one of the main protagonists adopts a Robin Hood-esque approach to defeating the tyrant king, and adopts the name of ‘The Bluejay’ from famous folk legends and songs written by a beloved poet and often sung by travelling minstrels. He’s -Inkspell spoilers ahead, though this book is unironically older than I am- known for toppling said tyrant’s throne through the binding of a magic book (a recurring theme throughout the series, if you’ve never read it, which you should). He’s a champion among the Motley Folk, who were that world’s equivalent to a travelling circus and also regularly aid him in his quest to topple the Adderhead (the tyrant king mentioned above), and sought to help the poor and downtrodden. The Bluejay is aided and abetted by his family and friends, which include a shapeshifting wife, a daughter with the ability to make anything she reads come true, a fire-dancer who can speak to the flames, and a knife-throwing 'circus' prince with a black bear companion. (They're not called the Motley Folk for no reason, people!)
Now, consider for a moment: Little Jason Todd, in the local library, absolutely devouring the Inkheart series. It's everything a little kid could dream of in a fantasy book! And there's three of these fat books, what more could you possibly want? And he has an excuse to sit in a warm, safe building for a few hours.
Now imagine, Inkspell becomes his comfort book. Of course it does- every kid had one, and I can't imagine an orphan who grew up alone on the streets of Gotham picking anything other than a story about a strange man helping the opressed and downtrodden in a land he grows to call his own with the help of his family- and The Bluejay is an excellent father to his daughter, too, of course Jason pictured himself as part of that family, as whisked away into that world.
And of course, the rest of the series is wonderful too -Inkheart is where it all began, after all, and Inkdeath is the final triumph over evil!-, but Inkspell is a story about becoming. About learning to be more than you were born as- after all, if Mo the simple bookbinder could become the hero The Bluejay, what could Jason the street orphan become?
Maybe, instead of discovering this book in a library, he found it in the trash. And maybe he wondered, as he read it, why anyone would ever want to throw away the tale of Mo the Blujay, of Meggie the Silvertongue, of Resa the brave swift, of Dustfinger the loyal Fire-Dancer? (And maybe the last one took a while to get there, but he did get there! Eventually! And maybe Jason can understand why it took Dustfinger so long to truly come to trust someone again, because trust is a terribly dangerous thing to give to someone, because you can never really know what they'll do with it.) Maybe he read it through without knowing anything about Capricorn or The Shadow or why they feared the man named Basta, because they hadn't thrown away the first book, only the second. Maybe he wept for the death of Dustfinger, at the very end, because he didn't know that Death wouldn't keep him, because they hadn't thrown away the third book.
Maybe Inkspell found its place among his most treasured possessions. Maybe, when he met Batman and Bruce Wayne in one night and his life changed forever, Inkspell came with him, with its familiar story and characters and world and sorrows.
Maybe one of the first things Bruce did, upon seeing Jason reading that same battered old paperback, was to order Inkheart and Inkdeath and leave them in his room. Maybe that was when Jason started to realize that he wasn't going to leave forever.
(Maybe Jason and Dick would play Motley Folk together, because Dick was in the circus and could most certainly throw knives, even if it gave Bruce a heart attack every time he saw it.)
And maybe, after he could no longer have Robin, he remembered that old paperback book, that old story and that old world, and he thought of a new name for himself.
Bluejay, he thought, as he picked up the book that had been his constant companion for so many years. I'll be The Bluejay.
(I don't really know what this is. I saw some Bluejay!Jason art the other day and just started thinking of the Inkheart trilogy and the fact that Jason would absolutely have read it and probably loved it. And then it spiralled.)

The difference between Inkheart and Inkdeath are literally insane.
The bad guy in Inkheart is like… a local mafia boss and his handful of cronies. Oh no, he put us in the animal stables and people talk about that he enjoys killing but we don’t ever see it and the worst thing he does is giving Mo a cut on the face and putting people in cages I guess.
The bad guys in Inkdeath, however, are the ruler of the land but also Death herself and we desperately fight against destiny. Every other chapter there’s a fight and people get brutally killed. We are about to scatter Mos fucking kneecaps. Mind torture while experiencing actual torture in the underwater dungeon. Everything is out to kill you but with everything going on death is kinda the least of our worries??
Like boi… that’s full a 180,,,,

The funniest thing about the quasi-polycule Mo/Resa/Staubfinger/Roxane is. Mo/Resa & Staubfinger/Roxane? Obvious, are happily married, have/had multiple children together. Resa/Staubfinger? Lowkey canon as well, certainly have History together and feelings for each other. Mo/Staubfinger? Came back from the dead together, know each other's hearts as well as their own etc. Resa/Roxane? Grew close fast despite everything, extremely shippable. Mo/Roxane? Uh. Well. Sometimes they were in the same place at the same time, I guess???

I feel like doing insane shit as the bluejay was mo's way of clawing back a sense of agency and empowerment after his distressing time spent completely helpless (of course, then he's paradoxically doing exactly what fenoglio's writing and ~destiny~ dictate)
it's also his sole outlet for his pent-up emotions and perpetual stress and fear, because he evidently has no idea how else to handle it — even though he takes about 100+ psychic damage during every bluejay outing. mix that with his inherent strong moral principles and he really can't get enough of the jay, it becomes part of his identity so quickly
and the more he is the bluejay the more he has to lash out about because it's not exactly a cakewalk lmao. I do love when a protagonist finds himself in a vicious cycle of self-destruction (◡‿◡✿)

ROUND 1: POLL #43
Dustimer art by bluejayfiredancer on Tumblr
ROUND 1 POLLS [HERE]
PROPAGANDA BELOW
Dustfinger/Mortimer "Mo" Folchart:
[SPOILERS for most of the trilogy honestly]
Dustfinger and Mo are both quite similar and dissimilar and make for an interesting dynamic.
First, one of them is a fire eater and the other is a bookbinder. Paper and fire. There must be a cute ship name for them. Inkflame or Firebound or something.
(Albeit for different reasons) they're always on the move.
They've lost family tragically and are looking into reuniting with them.
While Mo shows bravery almost instinctively, Dustfinger has to fight hard against his nature when he takes the brave route, even if he tends to do it more often than he's given credit for.
Mo and Dustfinger share a death like experience that changes them and makes them understand each other better and kinda allienate them from others.
They go from reluctant (ahem, forced) allies to friends.
They have teenage daughters but both girls are quite different themselves and have different upbringings: Meggie was raised by her single Dad. While Dustfinger couldn't see his family for years despite their struggles independently of his will which left Brianna with a general distrust of her father who doesn't know how to communicate with a little girl turning into an angry and independent young adult who grew up fatherless.
Dave Miller/Jack "Old Sport" Kennedy:
They're so gay. They went to Vegas. Probably the most popular ship in dsaf, and it's obvious why, they're adorable together.

Made a playlist that follows the plot of the trilogy from start to finish. I didn't intend to center it on a particular character or relationship, but you can't seriously read Inkdeath and tell me it *isn't* about Mo and Dustfinger.....

Happy 1 year (and 1 month) anniversary to my first-ever published fic, Mending The Tears ❤️ I honestly had never dreamed I would publish any of my writing before this. But over time, as I wrote it, I decided why not share it? The Inkheart fandom is quite small and there's not a lot of fics out there, and I was happy with the quality of my work. The dialogue flowed so naturally when writing, so it was very enjoyable to create. I've since been overwhelmed by the thoughtfulness of the comments I've received on it, and I will treasure them always.
