Ace-connorhawke - The Better Green Arrow

“tim deserves better than what he has to put up with in canon” SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPPPP IT’S ALL IN YOUR MIND IT’S ALL FANON BRO 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I LOVE TIM DRAKE SO MUCH, HELP HE’S SUCH AN AWFUL GREMLIN, “Starfire’s right, we haven’t faced Deathstroke yet, we should prepare more.  I’m going to go look some things up.  So I can be prepared.  Because we should definitely listen to our mentors.” and TWO MINUTES LATER he’s already sneaking out the window and Kon and Cassie are shocked that he would GASP LIE to STARFIRE, and Tim’s like, this is amateur night, I lie to BATMAN. He looks so nice and polite!  He’s the responsible Bat, you don’t have to worry about him!  He said he would stay in, he looked so honest!  NO, TIM DRAKE IS A FERAL BAT WHO ONLY PRETENDS TO BE THE RATIONAL ONE, HE WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE AND THE SECOND YOU BELIEVE HIM, HE WILL BE OFF AND RUNNING AND GETTING STABBED IN THE SPLEEN OR SOMETHING.

I miss him

Reminder that Damian doesn't hate Tim. He wants his approval

Batman fans will go on and on about how much all the other JLA members suck and then imagine scenarios where Bruce has the personality of Elon Musk

Hey OP? Meet me at the ball pit, I just wanna talk I promise,,,,

SHARE YOUR HEADCANON! BURN US TO ASHES!!

I want you to remember that you asked for this.

I was thinking about Jason’s resurrection and how it was never really explained. I still don’t have an explanation, but I started wondering if he was the only one this had happened to. So the symptoms that I know are that he was like a zombie—confused, disoriented, easily frightened, pale, disheveled. Right? And supposedly the Lazarus Pit is what brought out his unhinged rage.

I don’t think that’s the case because Damian didn’t have those symptoms, at least not that I’ve seen. (And apparently Cass used the Pit as well? And I’ve never seen her shown as displaying a Jason-level rage.) You have to remember that my comics background is very light, but also the comics are a mess, I stick to the narrow band of consistent characteristics, fight me.

So, returning to Jason’s so-called Pit madness, what if the Pit wasn’t the cause of the rage? 

What if the ABSOLUTELY UNMANAGEABLE LEVELS OF STRESS caused by being violently murdered, stitched back together, and then having to DIG YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR OWN COFFIN ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT YOUR FAMILY REPLACED YOU were the true origin of his issues? 

And all the Pit was responsible for was making him lucid enough to express that fairly quickly and also erasing his physical injuries?

If you accept this premise, then you get something very interesting. What if ~someone~ died in a similarly awful fashion and was raised by this unknown power, but did NOT have the baptism by Pit? What would you have then?

You would have a confused, disoriented person still bearing the scars of their death and whatever psychological trauma that was a part of them when they died compounded by likely also digging themselves out of their own grave. Their trauma would likely be amplified by the time it would take to piece back together what little was left of their mind after being resurrected. 

Now assume this person had no Talia to direct their rage. Oh and the pale-as-death skin. Don’t forget that. You could even, feasibly, add in a small backstory about this person being taught as a child to laugh at their fears. 

So you have a psychologically unhinged, physically damaged person with death-madness, no fixed point for their rage, unerased scars from whatever killed them, unnaturally pale skin, and terror out the wazoo because haiiiii murdered and resurrected six feet underground, and then they remember to laugh at their fears. 

What do you get?

I have literally paused reading the comic to admire the little smile on B's face while Tim is an adorable nerd next to him
