oh i fear this was literally me 😭😭😭 like “hm tim seems to be getting his throat slit a lot ! guess thats a thing that happened (that jason did) in canon”

that was before i tried looking for batfam accs on twitter and realized that Damn people Hate some of the fics i enjoyed (or at least i think . eye dee kay) for reasons that i dont necessarily know for sure , but can infer . i am now aware that theres a Whole Thing with fanon and canon n shit in the batfandom and its heavily apparent in fics . so now im Vaguely searching for whats actually canon n whatnot (like i get comic readers being peeved at mischaracterization . but also i already bookmarked a fuckton of fics and i aint unbookmarking them now . its too late . besides i liked the fic when i read it at the time so . whatever idk 😭 i think some ppl may care a lil Too much [its fanfiction ffs] but i get the feeling 100% . as long as u dont go harassing ppl for it and ppl arent claiming fanon as canon when they dont know shit [bc why r u talking when u clearly dont have a solid grasp on canon] , then yea . shore)

Reading all this Batfam fic has me trying to guess what stuff happened in canon based on how often it's referenced in multiple works like I'm some scholar trying to reconstruct some ancient lost ur-text based on other people's retellings of it. Like, I'm pretty sure the Batman canon included a scene where Red Hood breaks into the Titans Tower, attacks Tim Drake, and leaves a message saying "Jason Todd was here." Variants of it have shown up in quite a few fics I've read. Do I know the details? Not really. I think that Tim's shoulder was dislocated and the other Titans were drugged, too, but I'm less sure about those than I am of the event broadly happening. Granted, the first fandom in which I read copious amounts of fic is Danny Phantom, notorious for its extensive fanon, so I'm aware that I can't say conclusively whether or not Red Hood attacked Tim Drake in Titans Tower. But I'm pretty sure it happened.
