#jason todd deserves better

[cardinalcheerio]

Half the time I'm like, "can we have jason todd media not all about his death"?

Then I realize. If I died I would never shut up about it.

"Can you get up and grab that for me?"- absolutely not. My legs are tired from death.

"Will you go to the store with me?"- leaving the house?!? What if I die AGAIN.

So yeah, anyone who thinks jason talks about his death too much. Be honest. We'd all do the exact same thing.

I can't. I start sobbing with laughter every single time I watch this. I can watch this three times in a row and still be crying with chuckles.

Tik Tok by osmiiv and NOT by me. I recommend checking out their page

i see this jason todd who actually looks his very young age (instead of the 30yr old man that comics like to portray)

and feel my heart breaking just imagining bruce beating him up, almost killing him, mind-breaking him, and just overall being a total piece of shit father towards him.

a huge chunk of the reason why people don't view bruce's actions towards jason as abusive or wrong is because jason doesn't look his age. he's drawn to be this 35yr old father of three who looks even older than dick (and way too on par with bruce) that people see their fights as one between batman and any of his regular rogues. when they fight, it just looks like batman is fighting a man his age and not an actual young person. it doesn't look like batman is fighting his son who's barely even drinking age (and who def wasn't drinking age in utrh). their fights are portrayed in a way that eliminates the very real power struggle between them.

this applies to jason's entire character as well. a lot of people don't sympathize with how he died or his actions as robin or his fights with the other bats because he doesn't look his age. he always looks older and scarier than everyone else. tim has many sympathizers from the titans tower incident because jason just looked like a grown man fighting a 12yr old (even tho i disagree, tim was built and like 17 lmfao).

anyways, i just wish comics would actually draw jason to look his age, which literally ranges from 19 to early twenties. he's young- so young, and it's so annoying to see him drawn and written as someone older than even bruce.

Baby daddy Jason todd 😍 I would do anything for this man

[padsmoony04]

This guys on bikes are NOT helping my Jason Todd obsession. So here I come to dump this here. PART TWO OF ME, AND MY HEADCANON OF CATCHING THE JASON FUCKING TODD ON A RED LIGHT IN A (rarely) GOOD MOOD VIBING

(The person in the comment is SO me)

[giotanner]

Jason Todd has two little words for you by breaking through the fourth wall (REAL). See the entire tiktok here

Much more seriously I am sick and tired of Red Hood being used as the “I am the distraction” for Batman, for the Bat Family, even going so far as to kill him for a page because they have a portable Lazarus pit serum anyway.

And instead of being angry, hurt, after being brainwashed and willing to “kill him for his father Bruce Wayne's mission” he passively accepts everything. Easily.

I swear it seems angrier Nightwing these years than Jason-

This is not just for the last story arc, but it is in the last few years. A great character they don't know how to use.

How I would love to have even an ounce of the luck of the Daredevil character, who has amazing story arcs.

Of course all this is my personal opinion, from an incredible romantic of the character

How I imagine Jason Todd- a sketch

I like to think he’s super pretty, just like Dick but he cannot see it because of his scars and warped self image. Also he’s literally Bruce’s twin when he was younger but that’s superrrr touchy because well….it’s Bruce. Don’t tell Todd the comparison.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST I WILL NEVER DROP THE HEADCANON THAT JASON WEARS HEARING AIDS. THAT MFR RIGHT THERE CANNOT HEAR!! He’s supposed to just be hard of hearing but without Wayne tech he’s completely deaf. This is all due to his dumb ass playing with weapons he wasn’t supposed to as a child.

He’s perfectly okay with it because per the photo,,,he frequently uses it as an excuse to ignore Bruce. Do you think he refuses to learn sign language so he cannot communicate with him when he’s not using his aids??

[cinnamortentia]

I will always be a Jason Todd defender, he had every right to become a villain, and every right to kill Batman. Instead, he becomes an antihero who protects those who deserve it but utilizes his darkness to stop the bad guys.

[patchiko]

what do u think ak!jays love language (i think that’s what it’s called 😭) is? also, what type of love language do you think he’d like?? like acts of service, words of affirmation, etc.

also random headcanon but i feel like both ak and comic jay r both good cooks it’s just the vibe i get

-🪽anon

Ahkendidhso Ive written about this before but my brainrot my lovely 🪽 anon…

tw; religious themes but their very very very super metaphorical i pinky swear chat. #i love religious themes as a way to metaphorically talk about devotion

Jason Todd is as devoted to his lover as a martyr to their grace. His faith to his loved one is almost insufferable at its core.

Like in a,’ My lungs only breathe because I have faith in your purity. ’ way, so anyways yeah Quality Time and Acts Of Service.

Quality Time- Jaaon can barely pry himself from your presence at times, and yet he does. Though every moment he’s away from you feels sardonic, like that viscous black ooze that he’s named ‘hate’ is getting bigger. Once he even gets a moment of your time his mind melts. He slowly allows himself to indulge in your presence, but in the most unhealthy way possible. Jason tried to keep himself away, he really did, but he always found his feet dragging to you.

Maybe its the little sacrificial lamb in him, the yearn for a greater good in his destruction. Thats what he believe he was conditioned to be, ’The Greater Good.’ Batman cleaned him from the dirt-stricken filth of Gotham alleyways; Batman would make his coat pure and holy, he learned to achieve that ‘Greater-Good’ when Batman wrapper that rope around his neck and lead him to that devil, or saint, he couldn’t tell the two apart sometimes. They both look the same as his depraved reflection.

When his red branded rebirth came he couldn’t help himself trotting to you like the holy little lamb he was conditioned to be. You, the only compass he had, a sense of direction he couldn’t bear to lose. He sits in your presence waiting for his rapture. When not, he’s stuck in a state where can’t tell if he’s more scared of being lost or alone. Jason finds he’s neither when with you, with you he’s stained red but his neck is no longer painfully warm, his body can be mangled, his mind can be mortal. He always trots back to you, because it is the first place he is welcomed to with open arms, yes, you are the warm light of the heavens he was conditioned to bask in. The personification where the death of his self is meant to be.

Acts Of Service - I believe this side of him comes more when its towards the part of the relationship where he’s most comfortable! He’ll run errands, do your dishes, maybe if the guilt of getting your floor a little bloodied gets to him he’ll pay your rent. It takes him awhile to loosen up and stop acting like a house maid. He still does everything he can for you but in an mundane way, like a little routine. (like a little wife omg chat i love him)

Whenever he slips through that window he takes armor off and sets them down on your floor. He’ll walk over to where you sit and kiss you on the cheek, whispering in your ear on how he ordered take out. He’ll come back to you with clean clothes and washed hair, sitting close to you, yet not closer if not allowed.

He’s much like a Saint Bernard now, for he always finds his way back to your side. A gentle giant, neither of you can keep yourselves away from each other; tenderly caring for each others needs. With you, he gave up on his divided sense of pride, his fundamentals and foundations that gave his name meaning were reckoned meaningless, he gave it up and swallowed the bitter pill of which he found the unsatisfactory taste of forgiveness; and with that pill he allowed himself to grieve.

He’s much like a Saint Bernard now, he can guide people to the place they believe to be heavens for their sake of peace. He holds someone in his arms the way they need to be held, he says those things that make someone think, leading them back to the path they left. But most of all he always comes running back to you.

sorry chat this is so bitter sweet i love his self destructive mentality that would take him decades to weed out.

"Jason keeps making comments about his death and it's whiny" this "Jason is always talking about his death" that... Jason is always thinking about his death. Because that's what trauma is, being trapped in the moment, reliving it again and again and again. Children with PTSD/CPTSD sometimes do this thing where they play games when they recreate their trauma, and the explanatory hypothesis is that they're trying to fix it in a way. Adults with PTSD/CPTSD tend to find themselves at risk in similar situations. Being trapped in a time loop of the worst moments of your life and trying to stop something that's already happened, begging to be saved even if it's too late, lashing out to defend yourself after the fight is over. And I know the confrontation in UTRH is complex and about a lot of things, especially about Jason and Batman and Bruce, but also I can't help thinking, this reads a lot like trauma reenactment. And Bruce's response... Let's just assume it didn't really help.

So, yeah. Jason talks about his death a lot. Jason is still in that warehouse, in that coffin, still being tortured and dying and buried alive. Jason is still calling for help.

That this is MY FAULT?

– That this is MY FAULT? – You came to Qurac all by yourself. You NEVER gave yourself a CHANCE. You died like you lived – ALONE. – Y-you’re not going to SAVE me - ? – If I could HAVE, GOD – I WOULD HAVE.

🪽🖤❤️🦇

Jason, surprisingly, is not suicidal. He's already died once, he knows how it is. He misses the afterlife, of course, and every time he gets a little piece of memory from that time, he misses his grandparents – Martha and Thomas –, his mother, Mary and John, but he is very well adjusted to the whole issue of dying and coming back from the dead. But sometimes, on bad days, he sits in the cemetery right in front of his own tombstone and wishes with all his strength for him to close his eyes and wake up again inside his coffin, just one more time, so that he can choose not to try to leave.

How Bruce was able to convince Jason to stop killing bad guys

Context here: Bruce saved Jason from being shot at on Ra's island. Ra had tricked them into going there as a way to kill Jason and Bruce, toss them in the pit and have new allies. That failed, Bruce saved Jason, now they are at Wayne Manor and Bruce is discussing options to get his son to stop killing people.

Bruce Wayne: I’ll pay you to stop killing people.

Jason Todd: Mm… nah.

Bruce: You’d actually pass up seven thousand dollars every month to kill people for this fruitless journey?

Jason blinks, looking up from his gun.

Jason (shocked): Seven thousand dollars… a month?!

Bruce (nonchalantly): I can increase it.

Jason: You can increase it?

Dick Grayson fell from the side of the door where he and Tim were eavesdropping.

Dick: I wasn’t even paid that much until I left home.

Tim Drake (peeking from his corner): You're getting paid?

Dick: You can't be paid, Tim. You get money from your trust fund and... He found out you were embezzling money from his company.

Tim: I needed a skateboard and a laptop. It happened the one time.

Bruce: No, it didn't! I checked the books!

Tim hides back behind the corner of the wall. Dick ignored Tim.

Dick: I think I get why you're giving him so much money… you actually care about him again. That's so sweet. I’m pissed, but so sweet.

Tim: Yeah… great… cotton candy sweet… no, but seriously, I want to get paid!

Bruce: How did this come up in the conversation?

Jason (realizing this as well): Hmm, admit it. You care about me.

Bruce: I’m not… that is not… justice matters here. I am simply teaching you that true justice is not killing people, and seeing as you won’t listen to reason, I thought I could give you something better. That way, you quit doing this and you don’t get hurt—or worse.

Tim (stunned): Oh my God, you do care.

Bruce: Wh-Where did I say I care about him? I want to protect this… man. He is a grown man who I adopted when he was a child, yes. I do appreciate him being around and don’t want him to die... again. I have him back in my life, and I want to keep it that way.

Dick (crossing his arms): That was a long-winded way to say that, yes, he does care about you. Aww!

Jason: I’m so torn. On one hand, jeez, that's a lot of money... on the other hand… guns? Tsk, tsk. Okay, say the words, point blank, that you care about me, and I’ll stop killing people I see that deserve a bullet through the brain. Or pay me. Tick tock, detective.

Bruce (visibly embarrassed as his tough-guy persona begins to slip): Seven thousand, and I’ll send you weapons every month to end this conversation.

Jason: All right! I’ll do it; just sign this contract.

Jason pulls out a contract from his backpack.

Bruce: You have a contract? I… You… I need a moment.

Bruce turns around, pretending to think but trying to hide his smile.

Bruce: Okay, sure, I’ll look over this. I’m impressed; did you type this?

Jason: Wrote it by hand. Calligraphy practice paid off.

Bruce: I’m not saying it… but thank you for showing this side of yourself. I will read this in my office, alone.

Bruce walked off with a smile as the Batboys stay in the kitchen. Jason and Dick high-five while Tim walks off, upset that Bruce is still holding the embezzling scheme against him.
