#Parent Jason todd

[lionwitch]

after my Tim Edits Reality post, I haven't been able to stop thinking about Frankie (the dog) and though he remembers just editing her into his life, what he edits is more like the space-time continuum, so his parents remember getting her for him. And I haven't been able to stop thinking of like

Little kid Tim, trying to get his parents to stay longer: mom, I'm so lonely...!

Janet: oh sweetheart, I know. But we have work, you know that.

Tim: but I'm all alone in this big house... It's so lonely and scary...

Janet: you're right, Tim. I'm sorry about that, sweetheart. I'll see what I can do.

Tim thinks his mom is going to try and stay. That same night she arrives with a Border Collie puppy.

Janet: look, Tim. So you won't be so lonely while your father and I are away. You can train her, and you can play together. Just make sure you take care of you both and clean after her, ok?

Tim, torn between sad his mom isn't staying and happy he now has a puppy: ok, mama. Thank you.

Now I love Frankie, and I love giving the batfam an animal companion. So far, through my fics, it's as follows:

Lettuce the Crow for Jason (not yet written, but will be appearing soon) in "Tim's a weirdo, but he's our weird— Jason, what do you mean you have a child!?" (my Dragon!Tim and dad!Jay fic)

Promise the Kitten for Dick in Shadows of New Beginnings (my dad!Dick fic)

And I will be adding Frankie to my Howling at the River fic (secretly married musician!Tim)

Plus of course Alfred and Titus play a big role for Damian in Of Beliefs and Devotion (part of my dragon Tim au, but focused on witch worshipping Damian/magic Damian)

When I write my magic user Janet au, you best believe she'll have a familiar too, maybe an owl or even a small magical creature

that's it, thank you, I was ranting. It's 6am and I didn't sleep to write Howling at the River

Happy to provide links if you want, after I've slept

You talk about dad jason a few times. What about some angst?

There are a lot of ways to make dad jason todd angsty.

One way I discussed with my friend is that while catatonic, Ras stole his dna and made a test tube baby with Talia. They use this child to force Jason into accepting missions and doing things he doesn't want to, which is how he gets into actually killing people.

I don't think Talia would approve of this at all. The lost days Jaytalia is weird as hell, so this is where the seeds of doubt in her father will be planted. She'll spoil her daughter in a way she never did with Damian, and she'll be protective of Jason since he had no part in this, either, and he's being blackmailed with her.

Jason, with the motivation to kill Bruce, had so much potential Talia seriously considered him as the next Demon's head. Compound that with the dedication to save his daughter? That man is a different type of beast. He's terrifying.

Given that he can't do the whole red hood thing, he's forced to stay with the All Caste, further improving his skills, while also giving Ras access to the well of sins (i don't remember the name exactly, but Ras was associated with the untitled in one issue, so I want to play into that), and gives Jason a way to nullify the pits. Also, it helps calm him down and remove any outer distractions.

The Al Ghuls have accidentally perfected what David Cain tried to do. I think Cain would see what's happening and try to interfere. How could this zombified street rat be a better weapon than his daughter while still being very literate? It doesn't make sense!

My friend, god bless her therapist he doesn't get paid enough, suggested that Cain kills Jason's daughter, because without the motivation, how will he get better? Jason ends up going on a rampage, which ends in the death of Cain and Ras. She loves Demon's Head Jason, so she'd make him restructure the league, but I'd make it so he gives it to Talia and just. Retires. Doesn't do anything else. What's the point?

He goes back to Gotham, and other than major threats, he doesn't do much. The bats are obviously intrigued, but it goes nowhere. He's too good at avoidance.

It’s like the fifth time I’m asking for it but I beg you writers, please write a book

Give me a father Jason Todd and child reader fanfics

anyway, I’ll be here waiting.

[undertheredhood]

as much as i love reading aus where jason becomes a parent, i think there’s a lot of untapped comedic potential in him becoming a dad by complete accident.

Jason, freshly adopted from the streets. Still freaked out, wondering downstairs for breakfast.

Kid!Tim, munching on cereal: hi!

Jason: who are you?

Tim, wiping his hands clumsily on his pants and sticking it out for Jason to shake: Timothy Jackson Drake. Pleased to meet you!

Jason, shakes nervously before looking around: ah. Yeah. Jason.

Tim, seriously, eyes wide and innocent: did he steal you too?

Jason: What?

Tim: Did Batman steal you too?

Jason Todd with his goons:

[aeturnum-mendacacium]

As Bruce grows older into his 50's or 60's the paparazzi and people crowding him becomes less and he thinks that people have finally decided that Bruce is too old to be attractive or mainstream and he's actually super fine with it and makes jokes( more like sarcastic remarks) about it. But in reality they've grown more freaky cause instead of looking wrinkly and a sappy old man the level of cunt he serves grows everyday,he doesn't look like a snack he looks like a buffet, 13 year olds are using his pics as the cover pages of their mafia wattpad stories, he looks majestic, absolute dilf, we don't talk about the amount of tags he's birthed just by ageing on ao3, and hes still an absolute UNIT, the reason he's not heard about it yet cause the batkids are blocking the shit OUT with all of their will and strength cause it doesn't matter if all of them are full grown adults they're still all like-THATSMYDADGETAWAYFROMHIMHEDOESN'THAVETIMEFORYOUHESBUSYBEINGOURDAD

Conflict resolution for parents. In my head Jason might have a huge problem with Batman, but mom-Bruce is out of limits.

Can you give some more snippets for the JayKara series? Like after their relationship gets publicized? Or everyone's reaction to the two.

Also, about the Jason having a dead child series, he really, really, reminds me of Kratos after Greece but before having his second wife and Atreus. (Forgot her name). Think you could use this angle? Like when he is forced to come out of his self imposed exile, Jason is a force of nature.

Might do the jaykara later.

As for the GOW thing, definitely. It's an interesting comparison for sure. Faye's death was devastating since she represented Kratos' retirement, him finally moving on from the death of his family. I think something in Jason would fundamentally break after the death of his child. It's worse than Bruce, honestly.

Jason would have been training during his 'exile', so I think he'd become super proficient with the All Blades. They're manifestations of his soul, so I feel like he'd be able to reshape them into whatever blade he wants; having a knife or dagger is sometimes way more convenient than dual swords, and being able to constantly switch weapons could add a layer of confusion to his style.

I think the All Blades could also be mirrors to the blades of chaos, both of them permanently seared to the user and having their mark on them, although for Jason it's spiritual whereas Kratos has the scars on his arms. They're also part of a pledge to someone else (the all caste and gaia)

This is why I said he ends up killing Ras as well. He'd obliterate the league. It would make the fanon pit madness look tame in comparison.

I'd also think that Jason would become more stoic and unemotional. While being emotional is one of his main traits, you don't experience the loss of a child without something about you also just dying. If you want, you can even have him go selectively mute. It's not an uncommon symptom of heavy grief, and maybe afterwards, Jason just chooses not to really speak.

i love the trope of Bruce's kids being yoinked by different parent figures in their lives, and the kids knowing full well and using it to their advantage when they've got any problems with him.

Tim, pissed at Bruce: That's it, I'm staying with Shiva for the week. Cass is now my official sister 2/3 of the way.

Cass, grinning: Baby brother.

Jason, annoyed with Bruce (more than usual): 'Kay I'm gonna go bunker up with Talia for a bit before I put a bullet through you. Cya.

Damian: Say hi to her for me.

Jason, with finger guns on the way out: Will do.

Dick, needing a break from Bruce (again): If anyone needs me I'll be in Kansas.

Tim, nodding: Understandable.

Steph: Kansas?

Dick: I need Uncle Clark therapy.

Duke: Alright I'm gonna go crash at Jeff's for a bit.

Cass: B?

Duke: ... A bit overbearing. I'll tell Anissa you said hi.

Cass, grinning: Good. Bring back Grace's cookies.

Duke, laughing: Got it.

[tiger-grace]

Superman: I haven’t seen you at the watchtower for a while. Where have you been the last few weeks, Batman?

Bruce: Rehab.

Superman, worriedly: Oh, I’m so sorry- I never knew you struggled with that. If you don’t mind me asking, what for?

Bruce, grimacing as he watches public footage of Signal and Red Hood starting a dumpster fire out of Pro-Joker merch: ..adoption.

Jay is not the best babysitter...

I fucking love these fics where all the batkids are all pretty small and they just get up to kid shenanigans while Bruce is sprouting gray hairs.

one thing that will always be funny to me about batfam is that jason is forever convinced that dick is bruce's favorite child while all of his siblings know for sure that bruce's favorite child is actually jason

some random reporter: who's your favorite child?

bruce: how DARE YOU imply that i play favorites, i love ALL of my children equally

dick, without missing a bit: oh he absolutely plays favorites, it was jason

tim: rest in peace

[sidewalk-cracks]

The batkids encountering distressed children and calling them "sweetheart", subconsciously mimicking how Bruce would and will call them sweetheart when they're distressed, and not even realizing it?? Don't speak to me. I can't.
