i know there’s lots of different takes out there about mixed race jason todd, and by extension willis (and i love them all), but let me float this thought: half-lebanese willis todd. son of an australian immigrant mother (faye gunn) and a lebanese, specifically maronite catholic, immigrant father

#willis todd #jason todd #willis actually had sharmin’s info bc there was someone warning ppl about a mossad agent poking around gotham’s syrian/lebanese communities #not because they were romantically involved. it was a warning to stay away #youngest of faye’s kids and the only one not born in australia. she did not want that boy #raised by his father; grows up speaking arabic; grows up attending a maronite church #rejects a lot of what his dad - an immigrant during the civil war - tries to pass down. tradition language food #and then regrets it when he wants to pass *something anything* down to jason and can’t. muddled and misremembered #tries anyway. raises jason maronite; goes to church when they can. teaches him arabic #(good enough that jason is okay alone in beirut when he runs away to find his mom)#definitely passes down the catholicism. catholic jason todd rights #(my own personal headcanon with this is that they lived - at least for a bit - in gotham’s version of little syria)#dc
