jaydick symbolisms like. red and blue. the adrenaline of falling from the sky and the dirty nails from clawing out of your grave. forgiving, never forgetting. the intimacy of a lethal weapon. revenge, the chase, the flirtation. oh dick grayson and jason todd, i adore how you drive each other insane.
I'm dead. It's all over for me. I have seen the most perfect image in the world and my heart has stopped. Goodbye, it was worth it.
Keep drawing this old Grayson these days
JL finding out bat secrets, but it's in the most simple ways.
Barry: how old do you think Robin is?
Oliver: you met him last week, he's like 12
Barry: yeah but like, he was 14-ish when we started the justice league
Hal: maybe he's an immortal vampire like batman
Nightwing: that's ridiculous
Hal: we have aliens and gods on this team. Why not vampires?!
Wally: can't be immortal if he was 14 then but 12 now
Barry: I've cracked it, there's more than one
Oliver: Your genius amazes and astounds
Barry: So the first Robin should be like 30 by now
Dick: WHAT
Dick: 30! IM 26
Dick now in crisis: I AM NOT THAT OLD YET
Barry: Hold on, wha-
*Wally silently laughing at Dick despite them being almost the same age*
Oliver: Were you Robin?!?!?!
Dick: I can't believe this betrayal! It's called mid 20's and you're no longer invited to Christmas Ollie!
Oliver: I was invited to your Christmas!?!
Wally: Well, not anymore you're not
Hal: Can I come?
Dick: that's up to Batman
Hal:...
Dick: Coward, this is why you aren't invited to family Christmas
Barry: YOURE RELATED TO BATMAN?!
Oliver: I WAS INVITED TO BATMANS FAMILY CHRISTMAS?!?!?!
Oh Kal, you're such a troll

Oh no my heart 💔💔💔
Magic is a fickle thing, so when the things go down the hill for the Batfamily, and they accidentally (temporarily) regain a copy of little Jason in his Robin era, they both delighted and confused.
Naturally, no one really minds getting Jaybin for a day - Bruce, Alfred, Dick and Barbara all circle around the lost child, talking, offering anything and everything, hugging and kissing his freckled cheeks. Those family members who didn't know him before are no less enamoured. He is polite, nothing like a brash boy they always imagined him to be. He listens to Tim curiously, legs tucked under his chin, happily calls Cass and Steph his big sisters, helps Damian with taking care of animals, and endlessly giggles at Duke's jokes.
Everything is so... nice. What they are worried about, is their Jason's reaction. For the most of it, they expect him to be mad. Offended. Maybe frustrated.
When Jason stumbles inside the Batcave, freezing on the doorstep at the sight of himself, much younger and bubblier, everyone is silent. Dick coughs awkwardly, almost imagining what could happen, and tries to soften a blow:
"Little Wing--"
But there is no need for that. Not really.
Because their Jason stares at little Robin with delight. In awe, even. His whole face softens, and he slowly steps closer, reaching out for a kid.
"Hey, kiddo."
The sheer vulnerability in his voice, confuses others even more.
Jason stares at a kid as if he sees something so dear and lost, and it is strangely baffling. His smiles grow wider when the Second Robin shyly waves at him.
"Come here," Jason encourages him. Once the kid climbs in his arms, he whispers in the crown of his head: "Welcome home, little hero."
And suddenly, it all makes sense.
Because, of course, Jason loves and loved this child.
After all, it is the same one, who he spent protecting from the evil tongues of his own family for years.
Hmmm good info for fic ideas
People who write Jason calling Sheila a bitch in his internal monologue don’t understand him I’m sorryyy. I don’t think he’s ever actually said a word against her in canon at the is point. He spent his last moments trying to protect her from the blast even after her betrayal. He is insane in ways you can’t even begin to fathom
holy fuck the quote goes hard with that image
"This is the way the world ends—Not with a bang but a whimper." The Hollow Men; T.S. Eliot.
Oh, Jason. The tragedy that you are.
I can’t be normal about this man
Do y’all ever wonder if post-pit Jason gets phantom pain - not in the sense that missing a limb or anything but in that he was severely tortured and died and spent years being malnourished and his brain still remembers that pain, but the pit wiped it clean from his body. But his brain remembers. And sometimes his brain misfires and forgets for a second that his body been changed, that’s he’s not still that malnourished kid who got beat with a crowbar. Do you ever think his bones ache, or he bumps into to things because his mind thinks he’s still 4 foot 6 and not some hulk of a man, or he’ll get random hunger pains that make him double over despite being well-nourished and eating regularly? Do you ever wonder if Jason gets days of dysphoria, where he can’t even stand to look at himself because he can’t recognize the person staring back at him?
Oh no he didn’t grow out of his gremlin Robin phase, he’s just like this
Jason Todd coded
obsessed with the concept of the anti-saint. you will suffer cruelties and humiliations that should be unthinkable and die pointlessly, and if you must be remembered at all, it will only be with revulsion, as if you were a festering scar on reality itself. neither resistance nor submission will redeem you. god will not save you. god has abandoned you. everyone has abandoned you. you are alone in an uncaring universe.
