#but the son lost “the father”

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.
#both scenes are from batman annual 25#the way it says the father lost “a” son#but the son lost “the father”#because jason had bruce and only bruce#but to jason — bruce had others. he moved on. he has other sons to fill the gap.#they make me so insane#bruce wayne#jason todd#character study#currently writing a fic about jason and rain and it has lead me to THIS

Saw a post like “What if Percy looked like Kronos?” and I cannot stop thinking about it
#like#if percy looks like poseidon then poseidon also looks like kronos#also#percy’s physical appearance being a reminder to the gods#that he is destined to destroy them#it symbolizes a greater full circle moment#and sons overtaking their fathers like in classical greek myths#but also#kronos being oppposed by a boy who wears his face#while he wears the face of the boy’s friends#every time he sees percy he looks into a mirror#and is reminded of what he has lost#but anyway#percy jackson#percy jackson and the olympians#percy series#pjo hoo toa#percy pjo#pjo fandom#pjo#hoo#toa

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...
#bruce wayne#damian wayne#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#batman#robin#nightwing#red hood#red robin#dc comics#THEY ARE MANY TIMES IN THE COMICS WHERE THEY CALL BRUCE “DAD” OR HEAVILY IMPLY HE IS THEIR FATHER#AND AS MUCH OF BRUCE CALLING THEM HIS SONS OR HIS CHILDREN#And then some fuckers come around and make Bruce said bs like “my son and the boys” like they are not all the same to him#like Damian is more valued because he is the bio-child which is far from true#Or worst the ones that write that losing Damian is somehow the worst thing ever for Bruce because he lost “HIS” son#Hello?! Jason's death fucking destroyed him and haunted him for decades even today we still get content about it Wtf are you on????#They should quiz writers before letting them write a character#my ramblings

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.
#this is why the quote 'and now the son had lost the father' is so impactful#its not just that jason doesnt see bruce as his dad after utrh#its that to jason bruce is a completely different man#both of them died in ethiopia and jason was the last to find out#jason todd#under the red hood#red hood#batman#bruce wayne#batbrood#dc comics#mine#meta analysis

AU where Isao found Gen right after Hikari's death and took him under his wing until he was old enough to join the defense force
#my art#Kikoru-Gen sibling agenda#kikoru shinomiya#shinomiya kikoru#narumi gen#gen narumi#Isao is still a neglectful father in this au#Isao's like “welp my wife just died and I refuse to be emotionally present for my daughter” so he finds a son to raise (poorly)#Kikoru is sad and lost but still finds time to be bratty#Gen is just a wet cat with no light in his eyes (yet!) and severe issues with authority

Btw you don't need christian Jason Todd to have self-aware christian imagery Jason Todd, he just needs to have read Paradise Lost
#jason todd#dc#red hood#robin ii#he doesn't believe in God he believes in Bruce#giving us Bruce as the Father Talia as Mary Joker as the Devil and Jason as the Son and THEN having Jason take the Red Hood mantel is genius#I say self-aware but Jason reads himself as Lucifer in Paradise Lost and I'm not sure if he'd be Lucifer or Adam#anyway the reading of Jason through the holy trinity lense and through the paradise lost lense are not mutually exclusive#batman#robin#batman and robin#dc comics

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.
#also tommy being a mama's boy to a mother he's never met#attaching himself to the idea of her as some sort of solace from his dad#maybe he even has a couple older brothers who are just the type of sons his father wants#who also lost their mother “because of tommy”#who are kinard's real sons bc he had them with his wife and tommy is just an unwanted reminder who couldnt measure up even if he wasn't gay#anyways this is not a hc lol obv bc theres no canon basis for it#i just thought it could be a good backstory different enough from all the bad dads we've seen in the show so far#tim minear let me in the writers room for my self indulgent ideas please#bucktommy#911#tevan#kinley#tommy kinard#911 fic#not really#mimi.txt

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!!!!!
#percy jackson#nico di angelo#hades#nico and hades#father and son#pjo series#pjo#pjo tv show#pjo spoilers#percy jackson tv show#hades pjo#God to the underworld has lost the mother to his children and his daughter#No way hes losing his son too#Especially to his little brother

calling bruce jason's 'father figure' should be illegal. jason is his son. he was literally even legally adopted. "father figure" my ass that's his dad ???
#my dc posting#jason todd#dc#bruce wayne#i find the redhood&batman conflict most interesting and well-done when there isnt any question abt the father/son dynamic#like 'yeah that's my dad. batman. why the fuck didnt he avenge me fuck that guy'#and 'oh my son is back from dead. he's a murderer now. what the fuck jason'#what next. calling bruce damian's 'father figure' ???#nothing wrong w father figures ofc but its just. not what's going on there imo#jason&bruce being father and son before being batman and robin is everything i love abt them#(not 'before' as in chronologically but 'before' as in in importance)#(batman didn't lose robin. bruce lost his son. yknow??)#also im having so many constant thoughts and opinions that i've resorted to scheduling posts for a later time lmao#this is more abt fanon than whatever we're considering canon in the comics rn. just as a disclaimer

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???
#dc comics#batman#nightwing#bruce wayne#dick grayson#my ramblings#Bruce was 25 when he became Batman so at least 26 when he got 8 years old Dick#He was old enough to be a father and not a child stop calling him a kid he was closer to 30 than 20#But Dick is younger and Damian is like 10-11 and only in his care for a year#but that's more a father/son relationship than Dick's yearly years with Bruce? pls#stop parentifying Dick all the time and making him raise his siblings when he is a young adult who did so many immature thing#let him be his age and grow up normally#something something the stereotypes are showing guys#there are so many fics on AO3 with people writing Dick as Jason father figure#HE WAS 18 AND IN FULL TEENAGER ANGST MODE#I do not care that comics say that Dick and Damian had a father/son bond it doesn’t make sense#However there are a ton of comics of Dick being like “You are my dad! You're my dad! boogie woogie woogie” to Bruce#also the letter he wrote to Bruce in Nightwing First Year where he is like “I'm not ready to see you rn because I'm mad at you#but also you're the best father I ever could ask for.“ even mad and lost he still viewed Bruce as his dad whatever the man said

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
#liam payne#one direction#like I’m mourning the fact that I grew up with him#and now he’s just gone#I’m also mourning who I thought he was or could be#and I’m mourning the person he could’ve become if he’d had better support during his time in the band#he spoke extensively about his addiction while in the band and how he was left to his own devices when he should’ve been in treatment#I’m mourning the peace his victims deserve#I’m mourning for the son who lost his father#it’s okay to have hard feelings about this#but don’t go blaming his victims or his family for any of it
