Hey, so I was searching random jason ships here and found your jayconnor posts.

Anyways, y'know how apparently Damian and Connor are friends, right? Well, AU where Damian plays matchmaker for Jayconnor to protect Jason from undeserving suitors.

Okay that would be hilarious and perfect. Damian would go all out I’m sure, since the kid’s not one to half-ass anything and it’d be funny too if Jason and Connor had never even met before Damian begins his matchmaking efforts.

Exhibit A

Exhibit B

Short answer: chaos.

@shinyshammie @liavid @drchai thoughts?

Just look at me bringing this crackship up a year later. Y’all are so welcome.

thinking "haha what if i jokingly shipped them" is your last chance to get out btw

[elioherondale]

yo, who the FUCK is shipping Jason Todd and Connor Hawke? I don't even wanna get started with just how wrong trying to even start that is.

[kiseiakhun]

I can't stop thinking about connorjay and roykyle, but in the context of jayroy and kyleconnor as ex boyfriends. Ollie thinking he doesnt have to deal with Jason and kyle ever again and they come back. with a diferent son. at the same time.

HDJJCJVKFJDJD THIS IS SO FUNNY. Ollie thinks he's Free but then Kyle and Jason sneak back like

[aalghul]

You like JayConnor?? 👀 May I have your JayConnor thoughts? I started this ship for kicks and well you know how that goes 🤣

Never start a ship as a joke, it WILL get to you. Every time. Anyways. They’ve never interacted and probably never will BUT:

(this is purely my headcanon because Connor straight up didn’t exist until years after Jason had been killed off and was never in the Titans) I think everyone’s a little bit in love with Connor because he’s gorgeous right? Yeah, so Jason had a tiny crush on him back when they were kids.

Neither of them know how regular people date. All of their knowledge comes from romance novels (Jason) and Kyle’s godawful “lessons” in flirting (Connor)

Jason constantly jokes that they’re Romeo and Juliet because of their dads’ rivalry. He tells the press Ollie and Bruce don’t approve, and the both of them have to rush to defend themselves from homophobic and bad parenting allegations. Jason thinks it’s funny

Batman tried giving Connor the shovel talk and Connor just looked him straight in the eyes the entire time. Without blinking. It was like 4 whole minutes & Bruce ended up getting freaked out and leaving

They both bite into ice cream like freaks and everyone hates them for it

Oliver: ANOTHER assassin in law?

Connor: I’m an assassin too. I should get to date an assassin, as a treat

[selivakyle]

im gonna hit u with the trinity...jayroy, jayconnor, jaykyle

HHOOOOOOOO boy. lets go

jayroy

who wakes up first in the morning: jason does and he likes the quiet of it when he can hear roy’s breathing and just. recenter. especially if the night before was long or restless

who’s the first to fall asleep at night: jason dozes a lot in the night but is also really easy to wake, when they actually go to bed roy can usually pass out once hishead hits the pillow

what they playfully tease each other over: god EVERYTHING. their families. their clothes. “you used that gun?” “oh im sorry i didnt know the archer was now the pistol police”. etc etc

what they do when the other’s having a bad day: roy is very touchy and while jason isnt so much whenever theyre feeling down they just like to be close to each other. legs linked while they sit on the couch together, hands caressing the backs of each others necks, arms always brushing because theyre standing too close. physical comfort is a major aspect of their relationship after each having struggled with it for so long and learning it can be a good thing together.

how they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments: jason is really stubborn but when it comes to these two hes usually the first to apologise. it will be a short apology and he’ll never acknowledge why they fought but roy will always accept his apology once theyve both cooled off

which one’s more ticklish: jason. roy found this out when he gave jason’s knee a horsebite and wound up with a blood nose

their favourite rainy day activities: roy makes jason watch bad tv shows he missed while growing up, cleaning their weapons, just... being alive

how they surprise each other: they don’t really surprise each other much? theyre so intune with each other from working together that they can usually predict or understand what the other is up to. sometimes roy will come home with a classic version of a book jason likes or sometimes jason will wear a shirt of roy’s he called ugly, but nothing major.

their most sickening shows of public affection: [headline reading: RED HOOD AND ARSENAL CAUGHT MAKING OUT ON ROOFTOP IN GOTHAM - EXCLUSIVE PICS]

jayconnor

who wakes up first in the morning: connor is the only person jason knows who wakes before him. he still hasnt figured out how its possible, but it is nice to wake up to coffee thats already been made for him

who’s the first to fall asleep at night: also connor, but his bedtime is like 9pm

what they playfully tease each other over: jason always gives connor shit about his green arrow outfit, connor always gives jason shit about... anything. also bruce and ollie get a lot of shit from the both of them once they really get going.

what they do when the other’s having a bad day: connor knows that jason always needs someone to listen to him, because usually his frustration over the little things actually has a lot to do with something bigger. hes good at digging within a conversation to find what that is. if connor is feeling down, jason knows to take him to the take out place across town that reminds him of his favourite one in star city

how they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments: connor is usually the first to cave, but only because he knows he can get jason talking about the argument after

which one’s more ticklish: connor, but only in a very few particular spots

their favourite rainy day activities: they hang out at the local conservatory and connor gets jason to list off all the stupid ways the plants could kill them from what he knows of ivy

how they surprise each other: sometimes jason like to offer connor information about what hes thinking without connor prying too much; connor likes to let jason be the big spoon every so often

their most sickening shows of public affection: some girls once found them at a park in star city while they were going on a not-really-a-date-but-a-date and asked connor for pics, unfortunately jason happened to be plastered to his side and holding his hand in the photos later uploaded to instagram. its how ollie found out that his son was dating the red hood and he had an aneurysm nearly. bruce thought it was awesome.

jaykyle

who wakes up first in the morning: kyle always wakes way too early, so goes back to sleep. jason is always the first to actually get up

who’s the first to fall asleep at night: jason. kyle’s so used to the night sky it’s hard for him to get to sleep most nights

what they playfully tease each other over: kyle found out about jason’s brief interlude with the robin suit with shorts, and also found out that there were photos. he has copies. jason just teases kyle about the fact that he had no real choice in bruce being his dumbass dad - whats kyle’s excuse for his relationship with hal?

what they do when the other’s having a bad day: kyle flies them to the santa monica pier for them to sit there for a few hours. kyle always misses the beach, and jason likes how the scene is so different from gotham

how they say ‘i’m sorry’ after arguments: unless its a really major argument they generally tend to just... take a few, then move on with their days

which one’s more ticklish: jason. he’ll deny it though

their favourite rainy day activities: “wanna go annoy bruce with stories about the lanterns” “if he tries to kill me i’d like to know you’d take my side.” “....sure”

how they surprise each other: “babe i just drank your art water. again. can you stop using the nice mugs for it” “oh dont worry i bought nicer nice mugs instead. won’t happen again” (it does happen again. jason absolutely loses it with him)

their most sickening shows of public affection: 

kyle: [constructs a boquet of flowers]jason: put that away thats disgustingkyle: :( okayjason: wait no i wasnt serious i love them. just dont let anyone else see

[coolgirl]

Not sure if you answered this before already but what is/are your favorite jason ship/s?

I like jayroy, enjoy jaykyle but like depends the content because it drives me insane when people act as if they are the best pairing, when Connor and Kyle outsold. Jayeddie is cute as well, think dc rlly missed a chance there, but making them interact would've meant admitting Jason was really fucking young during his comeback and they can't have that 🙄

[bluebeetle]

honestly since its on my mind here is my rankings of jason ships off the top of my head:

jayt1m, bruj4y, j4ydick,j4ydami, jayt4lia, jaysl4de: theyre bad scoob. inc3st and p3do shit galore; jayt1m woulda been more bearable if tim hadnt been adopted right before jay came back, but still has issues esp re: how jay acted towards tim and tim being a minor while jay is an adult, ableit one very close to his age. tbh i dont trust anyone who likes any of these for obvs reasons. anyways jay has a rly interesting dynamic with all of them except slade tbh and making it romantic ruins it for various reasons, but also bc family is SUCH a driving point for jason!!!! 

jaybabs: i am so tired of DC putting babs with every man they can lol. she deserves better. anyways i dont like it, the few interactions we see with babs and jay prior to him coming back have very older babysitter-like energies, she is supposed to be older than dick (who was already 18 when jay was 12!!) and has known him since he was a child its a weird age gap and they rly dont have a lot in common other than a shared trauma over the joker. its not good and does a disservice to what could be a good platonic relationship that could allow them to heal, esp jay. 

jayroy: i prefer them as friends. they have such good energy with jay as roys’s friend’s little brother who somehow became his friend but as a romance its kinda dull to me, and im not the biggest fan of their age gap 

jaydonna: only ogs will remember when DC tried to push that jay-kyle-donna love triangle on us lol thanks dan didio. honestly its not the worst, i could maybe see it, but donna being around dicks age still makes it a lil weird and the love triangle sucked. donna deserves better, but hey, its better than donnas canon husband tho! 

jaysionis: no comment.

jayanita: yes this exists it appears in 1 issue of the young justice comic during the world without young justice storyline. in this jay is about 18 and alive, with something akin to his pre-crisis backstory. hes shown to have been in a relationship with anita, who i believe is around 16-18 and then he dies lol. would be interesting to see them meet in normal canon but anita hasnt appeared since like 2007 and who knows how old she’d be now with the wonky ages. has potential ig but its in a grey area. 

jayrose: i feel like they have potential BUT it is ruined by the fact that it only ever seems to exist with them already together and interested in each other, with basically no build up or real chemistry as a result. it feels forced and more like out of a necessity to pair people up. they could have a fun dynamic, esp around damian but it feel like its never done right, and often at rose’s expense

jaykyle: their ages are vague due to varous timeline fuckery in DC but i always assumed they were both roughly college age by the time they interact, with kyle being a lil bit older . has a lot of potentiall imo but they havent interacted much in so long. got that sorta bad boy x tortured artist thing going on i like it.

jayconnor: tbh i would love to see them interact more. i feel like this is the superior jay/archer ship tbh tbh. i think it could rly work esp bouncing off each other with their different personalities but they still have a lot in common. they def should interact more now that connor is back in the comics.

jaysteph: speaking of ppl who need to interact more... DC has fucked with their ages a bit since they want to age up jay but not age up steph, so that is an issue, however originally they were only about a year or two apart (since jay is a few months younger than cassandra cain and steph is older than tim by about a year). they have a lot in common with their backstories and their roles in the batfamily so i think it could b cute! much better jay/batgirl ship than babs tbh... would love to see them just TALK. also funny to imagine jay rubbing it in tims face.

jaytemis: i rly like artemis and can see potential in this one so i really do like it! however scott lobdell is NOT the one who shoulda been telling their story and thus they suffer from his writing heavily imo. has a lot of potential and is def my fave bat x amazon ship.

[lanternwisp]

Is your JayKyle an asexual relationship or is that just not something you're comfortable with? No judgments just curious

my JayKyle is not an asexual relationship, but Jason's sex drive is still extremely lowkey and he rarely initiates. Kyle doesn’t mind.

[kiseiakhun]

What if we threw MiaTim in to the HalKyle JayConnor DickRoy mess. Just to see what happens

"Oh, call him a soggy wet turnip sack of do-gooder hypocrisy and bad fashion choices again, that'll really show him."

Kyle mouths along to Tim, and then shoots Jason a confused look. "When did you start swearing like a brady bunch villain?"

"You've never read those books, have you?" Jason shakes his head. "Whatever. I'm not about to swear in front of the kid."

Across from him, Lian cheerfully tries to stick an entire stalk of celery in her mouth. "My fashion choices were good," Dick complains as he tries to stop her from choking yourself. "You guys just aren't on my level."

"I don't know," Roy says. "Some of your choices..."

The table watches as Lian's cheeks bulge out horizontally, like a hamster. She shoots a victorious look at Dick, while Dick just looks at Roy and says one word.

"Purple."

Roy sinks low in his seat.

Tim passes Mia a contraband pack of sour gummies under the table, while everyone else is distracted watching Lian try to chew the ranch-drenched piece of celery without making a mess. "I still think the condom helmet was worse," he says.

"Yeah," Mia nods. "The helmet you wore when you kidnapped me was much better."

Jason groans. "Can you stop bringing that up? I said I was sorry."

Thoughtfully, Roy eyes the breadsticks in front of him. "I bet I can do what she's doing."

Lian makes a muffled, indignant noise that roughly translates to "no way, I'm better than you."

"Don't forget to chew your food, honey," Roy adds. "We don't want you to choke."

Dick snatches the basket of breadsticks away and places them in front of Connor. "Don't even try it."

"Can you let me go now?" Jason pauses to eat a piece of bread that Connor feeds him. "This is fun and all, but it's really hard to eat when I can't use my arms."

Kyle glares, and makes the shackles around his wrist bigger for good measure. "I should just gag you."

Jason whistles loudly. "Got yourself a freak, huh?"

Hal opens his mouth. Oliver shoves a cannelloni in his mouth, smearing tomato sauce along his cheek. "Not in front of the kids."

JayDick, JayRoy, DickStar, JayConnor, TImConnor

I’ve done JayDick, so I will leave that one - and for the rest:

JayRoy

NOTP | meh | it’s ok | i can live with it | BROTP | cute | i love this ship | adorable | OTP 

I have nothing against this ship, but I am not a fan of Nu52 Roy so I tend not to read it. I like they Idea of it though.

DickStar,

NOTP | meh | it’s ok | i can live with it | BROTP | cute | i love this ship | adorable | OTP 

I often love Kory/Dick in the comics (although sometimes its terrible) and I love Kory as a character so I def ship it. 

JayConnor, 

NOTP | meh | it’s ok | i can live with it | BROTP | cute | i love this ship | adorable | OTP 

I have never really read this ship and have no particular thoughts on it, but it seems like it could be cute? 

TImConnor

NOTP | meh | it’s ok | i can live with it | BROTP | cute | i love this ship | adorable | OTP 

Its adorable - Comics Tim/Kon will always be precious.

[eggsyprice]

[royalretainer]

jaykyle and jayconnor cured my anxiety and then when that marvel shit popped up oh well gotta start being anxious 24/7 again

[elioherondale]

NEVER FUCKING MORE HAS THIS MEME EVER BEEN MORE PREVALENT THAN IN THIS SINGLE SCENARIO

Like, I'm sorry, BUT WHAT IN THE LITERAL GOD DO YOU MEAN "#who needs ‘relevant facts’ anyway"?

Everybody involved with this needs to go read the Dixon run immediately and the Seeing Red storyline from the 2001 run (#69-71)

Au where the Donna/Kyle/Jason team up happens, but Donna and more importantly Kyle never see Jason’s face. Then JayConnor happens and despite immense amounts of evidence to the contrary, Kyle thinks Connor’s new boyfriend is a perfectly normal civilian. Then he finds out Red Hood Jason and Connor’s boyfriend Jason are the same person. Cue freak out of epic proportions while Connor’s just like “you went on a universe hopping trip with my boyfriend and it took you a year to recognize him??”

Love it. On a slightly unrelated note, how do you feel about writing 10k+ word stories? Asking for me.
