Lines that will be included in the jayroy horse movie AU (bonus if you guess the person saying them and to whom):

"Yeehaw!"

"What the hell were you thinking, Roy?"

"Do you think this is fun? Should we have a pyjama party? Wanna jack off to it while I watch?"

"Nobody understands me like you do... I don't know what I would do without you."

"Just relax. It's okay, I won't hurt you. There, slowly. You're alright."

"You have the prettiest eyes I've ever seen."

"Why is there a famous pop star in the bathroom? I mean, not the usual one. A different pop star."

"Hey, check this out!' *crash* "Ow..."

"There we go, that's it... Good boy..."

"Booyah"

"Neigh"

Someone commented around the angstiest part of my fic (really lovely reader, very sweet comment) that they didn't see how the story could have a happy ending because what had happened to Jason could never be undone (which is kinda the point) and the Robins would always be child soldiers (which was really really not what the story was about). And for a moment I was really confused because while the story is pretty fucking dark and the discussion over child-soldiering could totally happen in-tone in universe, it was never even a theme, so I read the comment and thought "well, shit. What do I do now?" Because it was never gonna get addressed beyond Bruce's usual "woe is me I got my robins killed" stuff, but now I felt like whatever ending I was picturing was rendered dimmer by the shadow of that untreated issue in the background. Eventually I decided to say screw it because the story is more about playing with the character's psychology and using superheroes to talk about different real-life questions than creating a super realistic flawless world where there's a great justification for everything, but it still fucked with me. I think that reader just misunderstood Jason's motives in the story since the narration didn't to the bottom of it yet which created some confusion, but I didn't expect it to catch me off-guard like that.

Anyway, dc is a made up universe used to tell stories about a lot of different stuff using different tones and themes. Don't be an idiot like me and give yourself a headache for something silly like that when you can give yourself a headache over something clever (like a jayroy horse movie AU) instead.

"Are the Robins child soldiers" It depends. If the story is super serious and into exploring complex morality and grounded from reality's standards, then yes. If the story is lighthearted, made for children, fluff, etc., then no. If it's somewhere in the middle, it might depend.

If an author wants to write a story seriously delving into the fucked up-ness of children fighting criminals, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

If an author wants to write a fun story about villains and heroes featuring Robin in a world where that's not an issue, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

If an author wants to write a serious story but not apply IRL-logic to Robin, they can, and if you don't like it, you can read something else.

for wip game: ok i HAVE to ask about the horse movie. I NEED to know more about the horse movie.

Okay so this one I love the AU but am hesitant to share because it's ooc and I'm self-conscious about it. The thing is it's a civilian AU that pulls from canon, arkhamverse, young justice show etc. so obviously it's gonna be different (but I think the mere fact of not dressing up to fight crime at night is gonna change stuff lol). Plus, of course, those horsegirl books I read when I was a preteen and a couple of long-lost fanfics about horses.

Anyway you know how sometimes in those stories a complicated girl with issuesTM goes to a ranch and is told there's this one horse is super wild and dangerous because of how it was abused by its previous owners before, but the horse recognises that the girl is complex and that she was hurt by life, too, and they're the same, and week after week they slowly get to know eachother and stop being so nervous and weary and they end up best friends and she's the only one allowed to ride the horse? Well, that's Jason and Red Hood.

Basically Jason goes to work at the Queen ranch to help with like cooking and cleaning because Roy needs help around so he can spend the time designing himself a prosthetic arm and the ranch takes so much time he needs to delegate, especially since Lian is there. And there, Jason who swore he'd never ride again, meets Red Hood the untamable horse and begins bringing her treats after a hard day of work and the develop a ✨ connection ✨. It's very indulgent, still pretty angsty because of both of their traumas, Roy's addiction and Catherine, their insecurities about Lian, the fact Roy has no idea Jason is his best friend's presumed dead little brother... But it also has all the cliche scenes of riding together, having a picnic by the river, going to dance at the nearby town, and yes, there is a scene where Jason takes Roy's hat and puts in on his head. I have to confess, this is a very feel-good one where yeah bad things happened but it's all in the past and now we're learning to heal and trust again, with just a very obvious metaphor about befriending a horse with treats. It's mostly arrowfam with the batfam kinda in the background. though there's a decent enough dose of dickroy friendship. And Jaymia friendship because if I have an opportunity to create an AU in which they get along then by god I will.

Every hero identity (batfam and arrowfam) is a horse, except for Speedy, Robin and Cheshire Cat which are poneys.

Not to anthropomorphize horses or anything, but Red Hood and Arsenal are definitely dating in the Jayroy Horse Movie AU btw
