Not "Robin Jason was just an angry, violent, aggressive brat", not "Robin Jason was a perfect, innocent, complete sunshine child" but a secret third thing (Robin Jason was a child who'd suffered abuse and trauma his whole life and never got the proper tools to heal from it; he was happy and silly, and he got angry and could be difficult)

#my dc posting #dc #jason todd #jaybin #robin jason todd #no he wasnt a devil child and no he wasnt a perfect sunshine angel #im much more receptive to the latter bc at least its not demonizing a traumatized child #or victim blaming someone for getting murdered #but it still feels like a big disservice to who he is #and not to be projecting/relating to jason on main but-#my life hasn't been half as bad as his but when any complexity to jaybin is denied bc he Wasn't Bad Like That it feels. bad #my trauma&mental health issues did (and do) make me difficult. when i was 13 i was angry and had a hair-trigger temper #interpreted everything in bad faith etc etc. i was difficult and a lot of work and i was suffering and deserved love and help #(which i've thankfully gotten. love my mom for always being there for me even when i WAS a nightmare)#anyway. i dont like a jaybin who was nothing but angst and rage and behavioral issues. hate it in-fact #i also dont like a jaybin w no issues n no trauma n no poor coping mechanisms and troubles #you gotta get a healthy mix. its the only way forward #once again... the answer to everything is ''people are complex and you gotta think abt things more than surface-level''
