Okay, but, what if Jason doesn't remember who he is and he knows he has daddy issues and Talia uses this? She's like "oh, here's my son. I want him to meet his father, but his father keeps adopting boys and not taking care of them. I'm worried he'll reject Damian over this pretender who already comes from wealth and doesn't need anything from the Bat. It's a vanity project for him. And I'm worried because the last boy's killer is still out there."
And Jason "dramatic and mad about it" Todd, runs off to Gotham to take his daddy issues out on Bruce in Damian's name. Beats the shit out of Tim Drake who would dare to steal another child's spot when he already has parents. Also, Tim's now part of the Joker murder plan. Rather than it being "him or me" it's "joker or timmy. Pick 1, I kill the other". (Really, it's more like "if this asshole picks the kid, I'm taking him with me back to Nanda Parbat, Damian deserves to get his kicks in, and Timmy's smart enough to make a good servant/ninja for Damian and Talia, meanwhile I'llcome back to Gotham and kick Batman's ass", but he's not saying that outloud.)
Anyway, yada yada, fight happens, Hood's helmet comes off, batman breaks the mask, he suddenly realizes it's *Jason* and he's like "Jason?" With a surprised and broken voice, and Joker starts cackling about how the bird he killed is back and how much fun.
Jason's getting a migraine from mixed memories. He's not paying attention. Tim gets out of his restraints, gives Jason a sedative and Batman and Robin manage to get Jason home and put the Joker away.
Jason wakes up in the cave so fucking confused, except that there's Tim who's like "you said Bruce had another kid. Where is he? You keep Bruce distracted by being all sad and angry, I'll get the kid and you Wayne boys can be a happy family."
Jason, waking up realizing that there's so much wrong and he's very confused because his memories are coming back, and oh yeah, he beat this kid for the crime of existing in proximity to Batman, and the kid's rattling off about how Dick will finally come home because his brother's back and he gets a new baby brother too and he'll be so happy to have a whole family.
"So what, you just go home afterwards?" Jason asks, the first words he's spoken since he got knocked out.
And Tim's like "well, I'll keep Robin until you or the kid's ready, and I'll just go full time with the Titans." There's strain in his eyes, and Jason's too disoriented to stop the plan, but is also pretty sure that Bruce Wayne shouldn't be allowed kids if it's gonna turn out like this with all of them.
Tim going to collect Damian, happy to know he's basically got a lock on fixing Bruce, being secretly Big Sad but able to hide it (he isn't). Damian who's already heard Jason chomp at the bit about "Batman doesn't deserve you", also trained to be observant noticing Tim's like that going "perhaps Jason is correct", and Jason being weak because his memories are coming back disjointed and causing raging headaches but he's still trying to fight Bruce because now he's got a lot more beef with Bruce, since he remembers he's the one that wasn't avenged, Damian's about to show up and be heart broken and Tim's a certified mess. Meanwhile, Bruce literally doesn't care if Jason caves his face in because Jason's home, and has also not fully processed the "other kid" part bc he's looking at a miracle. But oh boy, is Bruce's detective about to kick in about the exact second Tim returns with the Batplane and a child.
Red Hood au where Jason has amnesia (thanks to being beaten upside the head before being blown up), but still wants to do his insane revenge plan against Batman. He has no idea why he's beefing with this random ass dude. He just knows he has unresolved daddy issues and pointed it at the most dramatic looking bitch on the East Coast

Not to be dramatic but
Sometimes I'm like ...
WE'RE HERE WE'RE QUEER GET USED TO IT
then I'll see some stupid bullshit comin out from our own community and I'm like...
I'm just gonna turn my civil rights in now, I give up there's no saving us from ourselves.
#not to be anti today it's just....is this what people died for? for us to know you are not a bottom? to know every detail of a select few?#wtf are we doing?#also i was thinking about my own track record like when i was in the alliance and I'm just disappointed in myself!#we should have been doing so much more. not that we did nothing and i did also do a lot of community service but#i just feel like we did very little in terms of partaking in local or regional protest and action etc#but also personally i was just there for community and friends but i wish i had been more in tune withthe rage i feel these days#hell i was even slighty transphobic back then and i was on the board for the group#my how times have changed#we did do good stuff raised lotta money provided resources safe space etc but i think we could have done more to invigorate our base#ppl used it as a dating meet. maybe if we gave them something they could be passionate about they would come.#in fact they did. every time the drag show came around membership went up#bc drag is an act of rebellion even still.#not that everyone treats it that way but you know what i mean#anyway I'm just trying to say give up the vanity projects and get fucking mad.#i don't want to be a joykill this is something every marginalized community deals with#in the queer community it does feel like a vanity project. part of why i now primarily identify as generally queer#queer is political to me. the details of what ways in which i am queer are my business#maybe my dr and my partner will know the details.#but john swift on twitter or mary lou harbinger on fb do not need to know the ins & outs of my complicated sexuality & gender identity#all they need to know is that im here in queer and I'm not the only one. when we fragment ourselves into smaller groups it makes it easier#to pick us off wen they know one group will not protect the other.#use transphobia to turn cis queers against trans queers. use racism to turn white queer against brown queer & brown against black queer.#use sexism to turn queer men against queer women#use biphobia to turn sexualities against each other#use gender binary to turn trans people against each other#use classism to turn wealthier queer against poor homeless or incarcerated queer#and finally make queer a dirty word for the portion that will only ever treat this as being about them instead of us.#do you know how racism worked? how conservatives work? they find the biggest umbrella and get under it together#not trying to credit them but look how it works. if we expect to be able to fight back we have to unite. union is not erasure.#individual identity does matter. so does the collective community identity. time and place.
