#but the son lost “the father”

[damianbugs]

thinking about how two of the most significant nights for jason post resurrection were spent in the rain thinking of bruce (who was never going to come save him).

jason crawling out of his grave and being found by two people, repeating just one word over and over again; Bruce.

disguised as clayface disguised as himself, jason fights bruce in hopes to see him filled with regret and mourning. when it is clear to him that bruce has moved on, jason screams in the rain, the caption; The father had lost a son, and now the son had lost the father.

Prompt 138

Danny squints up at the blurry form cradling him, brain trying to catch up with his situation. He can feel the pulse of his siblings’ cores nearby, gently pulsing contentedly despite the chaos of his last memories. His limbs feel too small and pudgy, too-small fingers gripping onto something as his vision started to clear. 

There was a man, holding him? Cradling his too-small form like he was an infant- was he an infant? He was pretty sure he wasn’t supposed to be, he had been older but now he wasn’t. He squinted up at the stranger, green eyes meeting green. Huh. They kind of looked like he could be their dad or something.

Me to myself: Don't send murder threats to DC comics writers, don't send murder threats to DC comics writers, don't send murder threats to DC comics writers...

I think that because a lot of people don't read the original '80s comics this ends up getting lost in comic retcons, but a very important characteristic of Robin!Jason, that has been changed to better fit the narrative that he's a villain, is that Jason had unwavering and complete trust in Bruce and in the Batman mythos.

In the original comics he constantly looks to Bruce for guidance, orders, or generally Bruce's opinions. Jason does not, when he is Robin, at any point doubt Bruce's ability to save people or Bruce's kindness, and that is what makes under the Red Hood so tragic, because Jason never once even considered the possibility that Bruce didn't love him or wouldn't be there for him, and then Bruce proved him wrong. The reason why Jason was so heartbroken at the thought of there being a new Robin and at Joker still being alive is that there wasn't a single sliver of doubt in his heart when he died that Bruce was going to avenge him.

Ps: I know Bruce loves Jason very much. Jason, in UTRH, does not know that.

i haven't mentioned this before but one tommy kinard family lore idea i'm really attached to is his mother passing away during childbirth, while giving birth to him. just something something about him and buck both growing up haunted by this feeling of a life lost in exchange for theirs where tommy is aware of it his entire life, where his father slaps him in the face with the fact every chance he gets, in contrast to buck's ignorance and the sense of hollowness he feels in the pit of his stomach. something something about the buckley parents' grief translating to neglect and blindness when it comes to buck vs the kinard patriarch's grief becoming words that cut a bit too close to tommy's skin and pressure and unrealistic expectations that make him feel like he's gonna choke. something something about buck feeling unsettled all his life, lost about who is because of daniel's passing and maddie's abandonment and his parents' neglect of it all vs tommy knowing exactly who - what - he is but not being able to look it in the eye because it would be the one thing to make him even more worthless in his father's eyes than his existence costing them his mother's life.

Me seeing Percy and Poseidon in the tv show. Me imaging Nico and Hades if they keep up this trend:

Zeus causing Nico to even flinch in fear.

Hades: You hurt my son, like you did his mother, AND I WILL END YOU!!!!!! You dont have to worry about Kronos destroying you brother. Look at my son the wrong way again. I DARE YOU!!!!!

I’m genuinely so sad for Liam’s family (especially his young son) and the other one direction members but I am also sad for the people who’ve recently come forward with stories of experiencing predatory behavior from him and how they will most likely be blamed and shamed for coming forward

Everyone deserved better in this situation

zuko girl dad is canon with izumi and that's great and all but i raise you boy dad zuko who is terrified of becoming what his father was. boy dad zuko who isn't quite sure how to play with his son because ozai destroyed the idea of having a childhood. boy dad zuko who initially refuses to ever bend in front of his son for fear of burning him. boy dad zuko who finds his teenage nightmares returning after his son is born because when he looks into his son's sharp, golden eyes he sees flames and smoke and the face of a man who was his father only in name.

boy dad zuko who sits with his son at night and reenacts love amongst the dragons with different voices for each character and animated action poses. boy dad zuko who (reluctantly) pays the avatar three "sifu hotman" passes in order to let him and his son fly on appa over the palace. boy dad zuko who holds his son's hand and lets him sit in his lap and tells him that he will always love him no matter what he does because his love is not conditional, it's a given.

boy dad zuko who does his absolute damndest to be everything that his father wasn't and everything his mother could have been.

The Batman fandom infantilizing a near 30 years old white man taking in a child, saying he was a brother more than a father as if he wasn't a full grown adult taking in a child he could have birthed, but parentifying a brown young adult taking in his brother pre-teen for less than a year, saying he was a father more than a brother (only a year is barely enough but ok), or saying he was more a father to his other brothers than Bruce, when he met them when he was 18 and 21 is making me uncomfortable, ngl.

Like, Bruce is a "kid" when he became Dick's guardian when he canonically was over 25 (he started being Batman at 25), and a brother to him when he raised him for 10 years (and Dick probably has not many memories from before Bruce now), but Dick is a "father" to Damian he only had as his charge for less than a year, half of which they were fighting each others??? Make it make sense???
