HAPPY (LATE) BIRTHDAY TO MY SILLY DHMIS OC HELMET!!

Now, I'd really want to talk about something.

October 2022 was when I showed the first drawing of Helmet, my dhmis oc, and the same way it turned one year old recently, my Tumblr account had also turned one year old some days (or weeks) ago. The first fandom I interacted with here was the dhmis fandom, dhmis was an hyperfixation of mine that is still kind of living rent free in my mind. The moment I started interacting with the fandom I felt like I was being welcomed with open arms, people made fanarts of my silly little Helmet and interacted with me, and I'm not lying when I say I finally felt like I was really part of a fandom, like people actually liked and enjoyed the stuff I did with Helmet, like I was finally part of something. Thanks to the fandom I met some of the best mutuals I could ask for that I still like to "talk" to them from time to time (I'm looking at you guys @brightlydim @reoltherabbit @softshell-enthusiast :3 ), I honestly couldn't be more grateful not only for the people I have interacted with while I was active in the fandom, but also for the amount of fun I've had in it. I'd seriously do anything to be able to go back to those days, I loved every second of the period where the fandom was active, and all I'm able to say is thanks to everyone who had made me live one of the bests times of my life, even if it all happened behind a screen, those days will always have a special place in both my heart and memory.

Since we all agree that people of the Alley of Crime adore Red Hood and believe in him, I think it is time to imagine Jason in a scene similar to the one from OG Spiderman, where his identity is accidentally outted in front of crowd of people, and they all are just choose to protect him and help him out.

So maybe Gotham is facing especially nasty trouble, and vigilantes are on the receiving end this time. So maybe Jason is thrown at the dirty Alley in his part of town, wounded, with helmet flying off, and there is just a crowd of people staring as bleeds out, astonished. And Jason thinks, oh, that's the end — he can go and shoot himself, honestly, because he just failed the man rule every vigilante have: never show your face, never reveal your identity.

But people are... helping him? His eyes are half-open, breath laboured and pained, but all he hears is gentle murmuring:

'God, he is just a kid...'

'He must be younger than my son.'

'Poor child...'

He feels soft elderly hand against his cheek as someone from the crowd, an ex nurse, comes closer to bandage his injuries, while a kid, barely with the size of his helmet, brings it back, sticking out their tongue as they try to place it back on his head, to hide his face.

'It is okay,' the old woman reassures him. 'You are safe with us, son. We hadn't seen anything.'

Jason's eyes sting, because, oh.

It is his people. He loves them. He will die for them.

And they love him just as much.

He still waits for someone to out him, though. But the week ends, the villain is out of the picture, and no one says a thing. The only proof that it ever happened is civilians, who keep waving at Jason — not Red Hood, just Jason — when their paths cross somewhere in the shops or streets.

And that's how he knows that it is them; it is them, and they keep him safe as much as he keeps safe them.
