Welcome to Hyperfixation Hell @crowbarsfavorite - Tumblr Blog

Thinking a lot about Bruce's fervent desire for Jason to settle down with a wife and kids the way he doesn't feel he never can and how that impacts Jason's queer coding. Like of all Bruce's kids Jason is the one he most wants to have that traditional domestic life. That's his dream for Jason. A thing Jason has literally never once showed interest in!! Yes Jason is fond of kids and prone to taking them in but the white picket fence life with a wife and biological children? Never something we really see him shoot for. Because its NOT what he wants. He doesn't want to bring kids into this life, he only takes in kids who are already involved. His one mainline civilian girlfriend had to pursue him and then they broke up because she got possessed by his ex a week later. Jason has no civilian identity and hasn't expressed a desire for one. Bruce literally lobotomized him so he could go live the life Bruce chose not to pursue and keeps making the choice to not pursue. Bruce thinks there is only one way for himself (and therefore also Jason) to be truly happy but he won't give up Batman because he perceives Batman as valuable and necessary but he barely sees Jason as a person so he has no qualms about enforcing his perception of what would make Jason happy (based on precisely zero evidence) to the degree of denying Jason personal choice and autonomy. The only version of Jason he loves totally and unconditionally is the made up trad husband version in his head that looks suspiciously like Bruce's own almost-happily ever after if HE hadn't sabotaged his relationship with Talia for the sake of Batman.

Tim Seeley's Robins series was ass but one thing I think about all the time is Bruce's like dream sequence of what all the kids would be doing if they never met him and Jason is still a criminal. Like he's living a successful life and has a charity named after Catherine and he has no real reason to still be doing crime, Bruce just can't imagine Jason becoming a good person without Bruce's interference. Jason, who told him explicitly he only stole because he had to. Jason who was ready to stop a heist by himself when he thought Bruce wouldn't believe him. Jason, who was first handed a gun by Bruce himself.

Bruce truly believes the only two options for Jason are violent criminal or living the American Dream. There is no in between to him. He has no concept of nuance when it comes to Jason its crazy.

Love love love Jason's "fight or flight" reaction here.... Of course his first reaction would be to snap and fight because NO ONE could stay calm after that, but at the end he just ran away.... he ran away because he had to, because he can't stay.... Bruce told him "I'm still standing, Jason," provoking he to hit him again, and he just looked at Bruce, the man that he is, the man that Jason want to see and then he just ran away... he just wanted to ran far away from that place.... driving the car as fast as he can while tears running down his face.... ran far far far away because he can't stay at the place where he died any longer or facing Bruce any longer.... everytime Bruce hurt him he hit back but eventually he just ran away.... *incoherent and painful screaming*

“I trained you better than that” “I’m still standing” “hit me!”

I’m convinced that this was never about finding a way to revive Damian. The plan itself is far too much of a longshot compared to the other options available. Bruce wanted to hurt Jason simply because he wanted a fight. He wanted to take his pain out on someone and have it be justified as combat. He wanted to make Jason feel as low as he felt. I’m glad Jason walked away, that he didn’t play Bruce’s game. What a sick fuck.

Look I don't think Supergirl (2026) is secretly a perfect masterpiece or anything (I personally thought it was like. a 6/10 fun time) but I do think it's wild that Tumblr isn't going crazy for it because this Kara is one coattailed suit away from being a Tumblr sexyman. she is the flawed messy female character people have supposedly been clamouring for. she's the popular archetype of a gruff self-destructive alcoholic middle-aged man begrudgingly having to look after a kid and growing fond of them but genderswapped and also 23. she's allowed to be visibly messy and kind of gross and her hair is constantly all over the place and she literally cries, screams, throws up, and pisses onscreen. she's caustic and mean and puts up an act of carelessness but has a heart of gold. she's heavily traumatised and coping with it terribly. if anything happens to her dog she will kill everyone in this room and then herself. she spends most of the movie in a trench coat and baggy band T-shirt. she gets into bar brawls and breaks a guy's hand. she is Going Through It 24/7 and looks the part. she stabs a guy in the throat. how is everyone else not obsessed with her.

#ok maybe i do need to watch supergirl

Cass and Dinah arguing on the Birds of Prey team and Cass says smth along the lines of “you’re not my mother” and Dinah, without thinking, snaps back with “might as well be after I screwed both of them” before slapping a hand over her mouth

Maladaptive deeply held belief: nobody could ever love me. Im going to die alone

Positive counterthought: maybe someone has an exceptionally rare form of mental illness that would cause them to make the grave mistake of wanting to fuck me

I- I don't get it. Is this- is this what I think it is? So Bruce knows everything? He knows? How could he know everything but still... but he just.... but...

I'd take that with a grain of salt. The same way everyone and their grandmother seems to know that Red Hood is Jason Todd, the former Robin, but somehow no one's pieced together Batman's identity.

For the sake of angst though, I am willing to buy that the Batfam figured out what really happened over time but still felt comfortable shitting on Jason just because it's what they've always done.
