i find it so unfair especially when garzonas’ plotline and aditf are read through the lenses of the red hood narrative only. these two arcs have very little with jason’s drive for vengeance and more to do with the pressure of vigilantism and witnessing cruelty and injustice at a young age. bruce was worried about him less so because of the ‘excessive’ use of the force (as the judgement of it is very much arbitrary given the nature of their work!) and more because it seemed to him jason was intentionally getting in harm’s way. and jason is ready to drop vigilantism if he doesn’t have robin specifically. in fact, this is what he does when he runs away – he accepts the prospect of becoming an ordinary civilian. there’s nothing that suggests he has any particular thoughts of creating another masked persona or even that he would like to demand that bruce changes his modus operandi or forego the no kill rule. jason doesn’t care about that in the moment, in fact, his main concern irt batman that appears in text is that bruce cares more about chasing criminals than him – these are his actual thoughts. neither is jason working on some particular murder plan in batman #411 when he spends the whole day in bed after learning of his dad’s death. he’s trying to grieve, as he accuses bruce of not allowing him later. jason at 12 and later even jason at 15 is not a mastermind nor a proponent of some radical crime fighting methods. he’s a child first and foremost and he trusts bruce when it comes to his crime fighting philosophy, but the issue seems to be in the crime fighting itself. robin jason isn’t inventing a new justice system, he’s just trying to grapple with trauma in real time.
#my friend said recently that it’s true people just don’t care for robin jason as a character and listen i should know it by now too#but it’s still disappointing because this is my baby.#he’s not a crime lord in making. he’s not a mastermind.#he’s just a kid and he’s trying#and i know it’s hard for people to grasp#because dick and tim seem to have such clear purposes in their robin origins#and jason doesn’t#but that’s the whole thing. this is why it’s so hard for him#robin days

Batman gives each of his Robins a different code to use when they’re in trouble and need immediate extraction. He promises that when they call, he’ll drop everything just to get to them, come hell or high water.
Jason, during his time with the League, shares his code with Damian, to be used “only in the direst of circumstances, when you have exhausted all other options.” He doesn’t know if Bruce will answer, given how fractured their relationship was before he died, but it is better than nothing. Every tool counts when they live such dangerous lives.
Damian uses it exactly once, and Bruce, who still feels the loss of his son like a yawning chasm in his chest, responds to it even though he knows it can’t be Jason because Jason’s dead. What he finds, instead of Jason, is a boy in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-small feet, with a face that Bruce sees himself and Talia in, requesting asylum from a grandfather who wishes to possess his body. Bruce doesn’t question how this boy who is so clearly his son knew the code. Talia al Ghul is resourceful and places family above all; the code is not beyond her abilities to discover, and she is not above using Bruce’s desperate love for his dead son to ensure that hers does not meet the same fate.
Bruce takes Damian in, because of course he does, and since Jason is dead he allows Damian to keep using the code. After all, it’s not like Jason is alive to use it, right? If someone uses the code, there’s no one it could be but Damian, right?
The next time the code is used, Bruce traces the location to Gotham even though Damian was supposed to be in Bludhaven visiting Dick. But whatever happened that resulted in Damian being in Gotham can wait, because he has already failed one son and he will not fail another, his son is in trouble and he needs to get to him, he needs to—
What he finds, instead of Damian, is a boy (just eighteen, too young, but also too old, but also he will always be a boy to him) in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-large feet (when had he gotten so big), wearing the face of his dead son.
(Who, maybe, just maybe, may no longer be so dead.)
#Jason sees Bruce answer his code with such desperation and thinks that maybe Bruce still loves him just a little#maybe he doesn’t need revenge maybe he can just go home#maybe when HE calls it instead of Damian Bruce will come get him too#and because of that there’s no red hood in this au#even though I love crime Lord red hood Jason#maybe he can still be a crime lord idk just not one called red hood who baited Batman into choosing between him and joker#Bruce Wayne#Jason Todd#Damian Wayne#Batman#DC#DC comics#DCU#Batfam#Robin#DC Robin#notfic

Jason and Bruce are out late one night in Gotham as civilians. They get cornered by a mugger and Jason nearly pisses himself, he’s so amused. He teases the would-be mugger about their hand placement, even tries to goad the mugger into a fight because he’s Red Hood. He can disarm anyone in seconds. It doesn’t matter if you have a gun — he has two.
He’s Red Hood, and he has the literal Bat of Gotham standing behind him like a wall of muscle. They’re as close to invincible as humans get, in this town. And that kind of confidence scares off their would-be mugger.
But then Jason turns around, a smile stretching across his face, and Bruce is white. Bone white and so so quiet, eyes wide and trained on where the mugger had been standing.

I think Dick and Jason would have multiple “what the actual fuck are you saying right now” with Tim and Damian when it comes to quality of life/monetary differences. Sure, Dick and Jason got used to Bruce’s “is $100 a good enough tip on a $30 bill?” shit, but hearing Tim talking about a new laptop he bought for $5000 literally is like a punch in the gut.
If they ever went on a cruise (which they totally wouldn’t because cruises are floating death traps), Jason and Dick would be in awe of the fancy amenities, where as Damian would be unsatisfied with the quality, since he grew up with every single amenity known to man. Tim would just feel like it’s all normal since the Drake’s were extravagant and travelled all over the planet.
Jason : My bedroom is bigger than my fucking apartment.
Dick : I could do a full gymnastics routine with the space in my room.
Tim :
Dick :
Tim : My room is normal sized…
Jason : You grew up in a mega mansion. I hardly think you’re the benchmark of a normal room-
Damian : I must agree with Drake. This room is frankly underwhelming.
Dick, staring wildly at him : What do you mean underwhelming- Dames there’s an aquarium wall in your room.
Damian : Yes. Underwhelming.
Jason :
Dick :
Jason : Do you want to-
Dick : Jump off the boat? Yes.

Bruce who forgets he can’t just. Pick Jason up as easily as before.
Jason will get injured, — he hates ankle wounds; they’re not like shoulder wounds, which are his favorite.
They’re pesky, and tiny but powerful, like Damian, — and Bruce casually walks up to him, tries lifting him by the armpits. One time? No go. Two times? No. The third time, he cracks his neck and does it.
Other times, Jason pretends to be asleep in the Batmobile so Bruce would carry him. Bruce forces himself not to mention Jason can’t sleep without his Wonder Woman bear.
#AUGH. Bruce is so mother to me I genuinely believe the batkids called him mama at least once#and he doesn’t mind it. it just makes him sad he couldn’t biologically give birth to them all. which is a very normal and same thing#bruce wayne#jason todd#batman#batdad#dc#dc comics#text post

frank: let me get this straight. thalia and jason’s domain is the sky, percy’s domain is water, and hazel and nico’s domain is basically the underground?
annabeth: yes
frank: but… can’t percy also create storms? that have clouds and lightning and thunder?
annabeth: yes
frank: and… and can’t percy also create earthquakes and make volcanoes erupt?
annabeth: yes
frank: so… in a way, doesn’t that mean everywhere is percy’s domain?
annabeth: yes.
annabeth: but don’t tell him. he hasn’t had that realization yet
#and it will be a bad day for his enemies when he finally does#percy is also the only one with healing/regeneration abilities#there is a reason many people say poseidon is more powerful than zeus#zeus is lucky poseidon has no interest in being king#percy be scary#but doesn’t realize it#percy jackson#heroes of olympus#percabeth#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo#annabeth chase#lol#jason grace#frank zhang#nico di angelo#dark!percy#seaweed brain

If the Lazarus pit can restore lost limbs and bones and shit, would that mean it also restores wisdom teeth?
What I’m saying is, assuming Jason had his wisdom teeth out early (like I did), he’d have to get them out AGAIN before enacting his 5D chess revenge plan on Batman
#lazarus pit#dc#Jason Todd#red hood#Batman#dc comics#text post#he calls Bruce high as a kite sobbing and asking why he doesn’t love him#Bruce at this point has no idea Jason’s alive#Talia regrets letting Jason have phone privileges

Ok but Bruce’s “batglare” except it has specific stages that mean you’re in varying degrees of trouble. Allow me to elaborate:
Level 1: isn’t even really considered a glare in Bruce-speak, more of a suspicious squinting
Level 2: standard Disappointed Dad look, the most you’re gonna get is a reprimand
Level 3: resting Bitch face. Less of a glare and more of a sharp look that WILL follow you around and creep you out
Level 4: worried batglare, features aren’t as sharp as with the standard batglare. Usually smooths out when his kids/teammates stop being idiots and putting themselves in danger
Level 5: standard batglare, regular criminals are usually at the end of it, most of the kids have gotten pretty used to it
Level 6: You’ve Fucked Up. Expect a screaming match or a lecture of at least 30 minutes. Also you’re grounded
Level 7: full batglare on steroids, makes grown men piss their pants, usually reserved for the joker. Most of the kids have received it only once and that was MORE than enough for them to never want to receive it again
Level 8: Alfred.
#I could go on but I think 8 is pretty standard#the batkids have a whole code surrounding The Bathglare#sometimes it’s even specific to a person#like if Jason has fucked smth up Bruce’s mouth twists in a certain way that just doesn’t happen with other glares#dick is so fluent in Bruce-speak he can tell exactly who fucked up and to what degree based just by looking at Bruce for 5 seconds#batman#dc comics#batfam#dcu#batfamily#dc robin#bruce wayne#jason todd#dick grayson#nightwing#red hood

Tim: “I need to tell you something”
Bruce: “What did you do??”
Tim: “when Alfred was doing our taxes he noticed a missing check”
Bruce: “what did you do???”
Tim: “Before I answer do you trust me enough to understand that it was for a good reason and just leave it at that?”
Bruce: “What. Did. You. Do.”
Tim: “it’s all Jason’s fault! He is a BAD person, I’ve been telling you for years!”
—————
Bruce to Jason: “WHAT DID YOU DO?”
Jason: “okay now before I answer that-“
Bruce: “just tell me whatcha did”
Jason: “I got a DUI”
Bruce: “Jason!”
Jason: “it’s not as bad as it sounds”
Bruce: “How is driving drunk not bad???”
Jason: “I wasn’t exactly driving”
Bruce: “I don’t follow.”
Jason: “I was at the bar with Damian and I had a few”
Bruce: “DAMIAN?!”
—————
Damian: “With God as my witness I’ve never been to that bar in my life.”
Jason: “He knows.”
Damian: “Oh I’ve been there a bunch”

bruce: i just want to make sure you’re safe
tim: you microchipped me like a dog!
bruce, showing affection the only way he knows how to by planting a tracker in tim’s neck: exactly, safe.

“Jason wouldn’t want you to do this, Bruce,” Clark says, trying to stop Bruce from doing something Jason would very much want him to do (kill the Joker, barehanded and slowly).
