LAZURASD⸻ INDEPENDENT, MUTUAL EXCLUSIVE AND SELECTIVE BLOG FOR JASON PETER TODD/RED HOOD/ROBIN II FROM DC COMICS AND DIVERSE MIXED MEDIA WITH A HEAVY FOCUS ON DIVERGENCIES AND EHADCANON BASED. OPEN WORLD FOR CROSSOVERS. CST + 3. SHE/HER. WRITTEN BY CALI. (#)

CARRD. PROMO. STUDY. ARTWORK.

PSA: this blog will follow the lazarus pit storyline of how jason was brought back to life. heavy influences from the New-52 and Rebirth, DC Titans as well Death in the Family and Under the Hood. this jason is not part of the romantised batfamily. while he might occassionally work with them, his death put a big stain and distance between them and himself, down to the fact he does not follow the rules set by bruce.

beware of the following mentions of triggers: drug overdose tw, child abuse tw, drugs tw, guns tw, child death tw, child torture tw, child trauma tw, child soldier tw and more. topics like ressurection will also be part of his story so beware.

the way people draw jason is insane because yeah he is tall as fuck and they want him to be as buff as bruce, when in reality, this is a early twenties year old man.

#ᐞᐁ. | out of character ﹆ the lazarus pit.#i always imagined him more with a lean built #killer thights ofc

so the new red hood series was cancelled after one issue. i won't get into the reasons or why dc decided to do that. i read it and i thought it was a good starting point, not all good, but not as bad as people say it would. it defenitely supports some of my own headcanons that: yes, jason left gotham because bruce kept protecting the joker and he is going back to his guns blazing, after a period of using less lethal weapons.

it also shows that he is suicidal. or does not get how hurt or if he dies again, he is almost craving suicide by proxy. which has always been part of jason since he came back from the dead. he does not care about dying again because he should not be alive. i have said it before that his death and ressurection stand up from others in comics because: how brutal it was and his age and eventually, his ressurection, it was a mistake. no one intentionally brought him back (even with the pit, ra's al ghul did not know if that could work and using a demonic pit to bring someone back does not sound fancy).

I can see why maybe this series wouldn't work on the long run because. . .how would jason ever forgive bruce for this? and that is the tragedy of jason's life, death and relationship with bruce. neither can move on from the past. and jason cannot forgive bruce because in his eyes, he didn't matter enough for bruce to break his rule and avenge him. this isn't about saving him. this is about bruce "protecting" the joker time and time again.

so i can see why this gonna be erased but i thought jason getting his own town, like dick did would had been good.

THE ROBIN THAT EVERYONE FORGOT: JASON TODD QUOTES. all these sentences were taken from various issues of the batman mythos said by Jason Todd aka Red Hood. Might include violence, and as usual for Jason, angst and mentions of death and child death. You can change pronouns, names, locations and anything you see fit.

“Oh, my goodness gracious! I've been bamboozled!

“Hey, it's going to be hard to learn a great many things about me, but one I'll give you for free...I am no one's son.”

“Look at me. Do you see terror? Do you see fear? Or is it just your own reflection?"

"You're right. I see my reflection in your eyes--And it's kicking your ass!”

“Give people a chance and they'll usually surprise you.”

“Batman can create as many crappy trophies as he wants. They don't change a thing. They’re built on lies and sand. And they will fall. Like his whole damn world.

There’s nothing to be gained getting caught up in his gravity. Nothing.”

Ignoring what he's done in the past. Blindly, stupidly, disregarding the entire graveyards he's filled, the thousands who have suffered, the friends he's crippled. You know, I thought... I thought I'd be the last person you'd ever let him hurt.

You don't understand. I don't think you've ever understood.

What? What, your moral code just won't allow for that? It's too hard to cross that line?

All I've ever wanted to do is kill him. But if I do that... if I allow myself to go down into that place... I'll never come back.

Why? I'm not talking about killing Penguin, or Scarecrow, or Dent. I'm talking about him. Just him. And doing it because... because he took me away from you.”

“You're angry and sloppy, running around the world hitting anything that'll fall down. And that's kind of a Red Hood thing.”

“You want to beat up on a kid, go enlist in the G.C.P.D. like every other bully in this city.”

“Sometimes you just have to give people a chance, Jason. They'll usually surprise you.”

You and I are more alike then you realize, Xiao. I was dead once. I get it - starting over is scary as hell.

I know you're still trying to be Superman. But you're not really, are you? You can't save the all, Kent... unless we give up the idea of taking Vandal alive.

Thanks for thinking of me. I'm happy to help, Bruce. Honored, even. That'll be $150,000.

I generally have several madness-inducing hallucinations before breakfast. And nothing in the real world can be as frightening as what we can imagine.

Really? You don't think I understand what it's like to be abandoned? Forgotten? To be the Robin nobody trusts?

I'll be damned if my best friend is going to die ... because he was dumb enough to trust me.

But there are some crimes -- sins -- even Gotham can't wash away.

You made the same mistake everyone does when it comes to me. I'm not evil. Or good. Unfortunately for you... I'm just practical as hell.

Funny, I actually escaped death... but one life later, the past keeps dragging me back.

You pompous ass.

I tried to go legit. Made friends. Failed them. That was then. This is now. This is me.

Don't know. Don't care. I got my hands full.

Anyone ever tell you really know how to ruin a party, Catwoman?

You almost got yourself killed. The angry, reckless vigilante bit is my thing.

That looks like it's gotta hurt. Well, I say that like I'm speculating or something. I know it hurts.

I seem to have made myself an enemy of all the bad guys.

Is that what you think this is about? That you let me die?

You can't stop crime! That's what you never understood! I'm CONTROLLING it! You want to rule them by fear but what do you do to those who aren't afraid?! I'm doing what YOU won't! I'm taking them out!

It might not be a popular thought but not everyone wants to be alive .

The world's greatest detective, and you still haven't figured it out?

told mari about this and i weep about how jason is a greek tragedy. his ressurection isn't celebrated or seen as something good by no one in the narrative perhaps only the joker because of how that fucker is. every other comic book ressurection is celebrated and eventually life moves on, everyone continues on with life. but jason doesn't get that luxery. he wasn't grieved properly (again, always in his eyes). his room was emptied by bruce, his suit put on a case on the cave for only bruce to see, no memorial at the titans tower despite every other fallen titan having a memorial, and eventually, by his eyes "replaced" by tim, and likely in the eyes of the public. he is the forgotten robin (even down to how he is often forgotten in media , going from dick to tim or sometimes merging tim with jason like in the batman beyond movie).

jason doesn't get to move on and the world is a better world for it. its also the nature of how he died. a kid, tortured, beaten and alone. he didn't matter enough for bruce to break his rule once. he does not want bruce to kill, but he wanted to matter enough for bruce to break it once. and he won't kill joker himself because it's not about that. and we are told several times that jason does have ptsd and nightmares about the joker constantly, the damn sound of a crowbar against something is enough to make him go into a panic attack.

interesting choice. his curiosity is piqued enough to see where he'll take it. SUPERMAN tilts his head, a smile just threatening his lips. " depends. what have you got to offer, jason? "

"i'm a kid, you really going to take bribery from a kid?" and they say superman is the all american man. sure thing. but if anything it makes him like him even more. "I got a free frozen yogurt coupon and 30 bucks." he searches through his belt for a moment before pulling out something else. "and a hero discount at wendy's. come on."

j. todd. “Sometimes being a superhero means losing the things that make you feel human.” , @lazurasd.

THE STATEMENT CATCHES HIM OFF GUARD UPON HITTING HIS EARS. A furrowed brow in plain view as he turned to look at the younger man. He didn't know much about what the kid had been through , ┈┈ but heard enough to know the broad strokes of a horrible horrible story. The kid had wisdom though. ( at least a hell of a lot more than bob had ever seen. ) Or had for himself for that matter. As smart as Bob was , he never really saw it like that.

He scoffed. “ It's funny , I never really felt like there was much human about me. ” Not surprising , ┈┈ when the world told you there was something wrong with you it was hard to feel human. He's always seen the heroes in their world , read their comics growing up and though … he could be one of them someday. Only to have those dreams bashed down every time. Now here he was with the power of a God plus that , ┈┈ and he still felt like he didn't quite have it. No matter how many times people reassured him.

He rolled his lips , ┈┈ before turning his attention out to the city before them. Bustling sounds and city lights seeming brighter than they had been before he took the serum. “ Makes you wonder what the whole point of being a hero is if you just .. lose parts of yourself. ” Jason's words had hit him , made him think. Like how he had always hoped he would find something human in him through all this. Ore maybe that had all been wishful thinking.

lazurasd

He kept his eyes on the city, boots planted on the ledge like he was daring the night to try him. His arms were crossed tight over his chest, leather creaking slightly with each breath. The silence between them stretched, not heavy—just full. Like the air before a storm. Then he gave a low, humorless chuckle. “Yeah,” he said, voice low, rough around the edges. “That’s the trick, isn’t it? People think getting power fixes the cracks. But it just makes ‘em easier to see.”

He finally glanced over at Bob, eyes sharp but not unkind. There was understanding there—lived-in, battered, reluctant understanding. “You’re not the only one who’s felt like a ghost in your own skin,” Jason went on. “I came back wrong. At least, that’s what I used to think. Died bloody, came back angrier. Everyone told me I wasn’t the same. Like grief was a glitch.”

His jaw clenched. A pause. Then, a quieter breath. “But maybe the point of being human… isn’t being whole. Maybe it’s surviving the break. Getting back up even when the world tells you you’re something else—something less.” He looked at Bob fully now. “You feel the cracks? Good. That means there’s still something real underneath all that power.” Another beat passed. Jason looked back out at the city, eyes scanning the lights like they were trying to spell something only he could read.

“You ain’t gotta feel human all the time, Bob. You just gotta choose not to forget what it means.” A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth. “And if you do forget… hell. That’s what guys like me are for. To punch it back into you.”

@lazurasd. "You look like you are about to mom'd me." (from robin jay).

THAT WAS RICH COMING FROM THE KID SITTING ON HER SOFA. Never the less , it still managed to pull a smirk to her lips before turning to return with the bottle of water and first aid kit that she had gone to retrieve. ( she didn't have to be his mom to see the cuts she wasn't gonna let him leave without cleaning. ) She didn't make a habit of jumping on the mothering routine , ┈┈ but this one reminded her too much of important people in her life to brush off. Motherhood wasn't something she was built for , always feeling foreign no matter how often she wanted to be able to feel that feeling.

“ A mother , would tell you that what you did was reckless. ” She started off , ┈┈ while moving to set the kid on the coffee table before handing over the water. “ Drink this. ” She instructed , waiting only long enough for him to take the bottle before setting to pulling out the needle.

“ A mother would also have some sage advice for you that didn't escalate the problem. ” She added to her previous statement , getting ready to clean the decent cut , ┈┈ that she was still unclear on if he was going to need stitches for or not. “ I'm just here t'patch you up , and make sure you don't have any nasty's tailing you. ”

lazurasd

He sat on the edge of her couch, jaw tense, shoulders rigid, the bottle of water now resting cold in his palm. The label crackled under his grip. Her words had hit—maybe not hard, but precise, like a knife between plates of armor. A twitch at the corner of his mouth. Not quite a smile, not quite surrender. He watched her move with that quiet, deliberate pace that told him she was comfortable, maybe not with him, but with this—patching people up, making sure they didn’t bleed out in her living room. There was familiarity in it. Familiar enough to make him uncomfortable.

“You’re not my mom, she wouldn’t do any of those things.” he muttered, not defensive, just stating a fact. His voice was lower than before, calmer. She had always been too busy after a while to worry about him in that way. It was him doing the worrying. “But thanks for the water.”

His gaze dropped to the first aid kit. The needle. He didn’t flinch, but there was a tightness in his throat he didn’t bother hiding. He’d stitched himself up more times than he could count, but letting someone else do it—someone who looked like they gave a damn—that was harder.He let out a slow breath and shifted forward, setting the bottle down. “Reckless is kind of the point,” he said finally, eyes meeting hers. “I don’t do things to be smart. I do them because if I don’t, no one else will. That’s how it works.” He didn’t expect her to agree.

He wasn’t trying to convince her. Just giving her the truth.Jason tilted his head a little, nodding toward the kit. “Go ahead. Just don’t go all sage advice on me, alright? You patch me up, I’m out of your hair.” He hesitated, then added, quieter, “Unless you really do think someone’s tailing me.”
