Faye’s Batfam + DC Abyss

The abyss of my silly little dc (mainly involving the batfam) reblogs and posts

[robs-your-robins]

I want DC to continue the trend of Jason just having really outlandish side quests that are just almost never brought up in canon after they run their course. The All Blades. His training before coming back to Gotham. Owning the Iceberg Lounge. Yes, Dick, Tim and every other Bat goes through this but I don't know why, but it's funnier when it's Jason.

Bruce: We need to contact Queen Hippolyta about Diana. But all of the Amazons are-

Jason, dialing a flip phone: Hey, Your Majesty. Bruce has something to ask. Yeah, sure, yes, totally, I can arrange that too. I'll hand you over and get that done.

Bruce, covering the phone: how do you have the Queen of Themyscira's phone number.

Jason: All residents of Themyscira do? I lived there for six months last year? I worked as Hippolyta's assistant? I told you this?

Bruce: But... There's no men allowed-

Jason: It was when I got hit with that gender thing from that guy in Zatanna's apartment. God, you don't fucking listen to a thing I say.

Not only did I include the All Caste in my fic and made many changes to the way the All Caste functions, but I also ended up leading to what is essentially the destruction of the All Caste in my fic, which means!!! It’s even more of a sandbox than it was before, and I get to rebuild it exactly as I want to. I’m going to have so much fun when I get to that part of my fic where the All Caste is rebuilt. I’m gonna fuck around and find out with so much of it. It’s gonna be so fun y’all.

I think that instead of being super apprehensive about Jason and him dating Roy, Oliver should take one look at him and then one look at Bruce and go oh, I'm about to be so annoying.

Oliver starts being so nice to Jason. So nice. Inviting him to family dinners. Giving him both his hero communications and personal phone number and telling him to call whenever he needs something. He gives him new tech and keeps updating his weapons and armor. He helps with missions and clean up and says nothing if Jason is a little rough, apart from patting him on the back and saying good job. He starts keeping his picture inside his wallet and has other pictures of Jason, Roy and Lian framed in the house and tells everyone about him. He starts calling him son-in-law first and then just son and then calls him a Harper and eventually a Queen.

At first it was just to annoy Bruce, but after the first time he tells Jason that he did a good job and Jason starts to tear up a little, Oliver goes oh no, oh I'm actually doing this now. This my boy now. I don't care if he and Roy break up or something, this is my boy now.

Bruce still thinks he's just doing it for the sole purpose of pissing him off, though, and he is so fucking mad. The Justice League meetings have turned into a Cold War zone.

Bruce starts to being so nice to Jason as well, forcing himself to ignore some of the more outrageous things Jason does, and Jason is so, so fucking confused.

[hannibal-is-my-comfort-show]

Will never stop thinking about how Jason became the chosen one of an ancient group of warriors and then went hmmm actually I am going to commit crimes in gotham

[webshood]

Jason being magic is such an unexplored potential, like imagine accidentally summoning a creature hellbent on destroying the world and the local crime lord one taps it

[papayafromtv]

the real reason Joker hates the second Robin is because when Jason was a street kid in need of money he would do street-clown/comedian performances for spare change to buy food and the Joker's forever bitter that Jason was better at his job than he is. he killed Batman's son because he found out Batman's son was funnier than he was.

conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 18 (masterpost here)

*casual silence, occasional footsteps and traffic noises*

*rustling*

Tim: *light laughter*

Tim: alright, yeah.

Dick: huh?

Tim: oh- Red Hood and i are communicating across this rooftop with paper signs, Taylor-Swift-style.

Dick: what are you saying?

Jason: talking shit about Batman.

Dick: why through secret signs? we do it to his face all the time. he isn't even on this line tonight.

Tim: it's called being creative, jackass. we're bored.

*a beat*

Tim: *laughs*

Dick, instantly: -ok what'd he say now?

Jason: still B, you insecure little thing.

Tim: he's just listing all the objective reasons Batman sucks.

Dick: oh list them out i wanna hear this.

Tim: ok- wait Hood go back to the first one, hold them up in order. ok- one, poser.

Dick: fair.

Tim: two, peaked in his childhood therapist's office.

Tim: three. wont stop trying to live through his children. needs to get his own thing.

Dick: elaborate on that one.

Jason: he sucks compared to his kids and he knows it. won't stop copying us.

Dick: i do have to point out that he was Batman first-

Jason: ok but who decided to be a symbol of hope first, you or him? because last i remember his early days of batting weren't about providing Gotham with peace, they were just him trying to figure out how high up he needed to be for the police to let him get away with public assault.

Tim, snickering: do you think there's an actual radius...?

Dick: ...alright ok. so maybe the hope thing got thieved from little Robin 1. carry on.

Jason: he stole the meaning of his mission from you, then he gave up on it when i kicked it and Replacement over here had to tell him to grow a pair and get back in the saddle,

Tim: -also true.

Jason: -now he's weirdly jealous of how much the people of Gotham trust Red Hood to get shit done. like he makes snippy comments all the time and glares at me whenever my people yell for my help. like- he's mad they trust me more than him. and lets not forget he tried to nick Nightwing from you and then got all pouty when he failed miserably.

Dick: *hums*

Tim: wait hold on- i don't remember hearing about this. when did he try to steal Nightwing from Dick?!

Dick: so, remember that joint international mission we went on when we were both in Italy together? and i mentioned i was worried about Bludhaven not having Nightwing while i was away?

Tim: ...yeah.

Dick: ...you see where I'm going with this?

Tim: ...you're kidding.

Jason, snickers gradually becoming audible: no- no he's completely serious. i remember i stopped by the city to do a quick run through patrol as a favour to Dick and fucking- Bruce was in his apartment. just digging through his closet for a spare suit.

Tim: ...no fucking way. did you make him put it back?

Jason: are you shitting me? i brought out my camera and told him to go right ahead! i knew how that shit was gonna turn out!

Dick: yeah... i don't- i don't really know what he thought would happen...

Tim: what did happen?

Jason: he- *laughter, tone high pitched* ok so he puts on the suit, right? and like- you saw when i tried it on- so it fucking barely fits him,

Tim: he didn't even fucking adjust it?!

Jason: *wheeze* NO! and then he walks out, right? like, like he's about to pop-

Dick, fondly: how long did he last again?

Jason: from what i remember, he made it half way down the first street before a group of local children rushed out and started trying to kick his ankles in for 'pretending to be their Nightwing'.

Tim: *bursts out laughing*

Dick: god, i love my local kids...

Jason: it made it so much worse because- obviously they all know me since we work together so much, so they see me on a roof nearby and start asking Red Hood to 'beat up the imposter for them', and Bruce is just fucking staring at me like he wants to die,

Tim: *still wheezing*

Dick: man... maybe Batman does suck.

Tim: YOU ONLY JUST REALISED?!

Dick: WELL I KNEW IN MY HEART, THERE'S JUST A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KNOWING AND ADMITTING IT AUDIBLY-

*a ping*

*abrupt silence*

Bruce: who is on this line tonight that's available for a meeting at the docks? i may require backup.

*silence*

Bruce: Nightwing? Red Hood? Red Robin? i can see you're online.

Jason: *softly* ...Batman?

Bruce: *confused* ...yes?

Jason: remember when you got beaten up by a bunch of kids for pretending to be Dick?

*silence*

Bruce: goodnight.

*disconnecting ping*

Dick: incredible.

Tim: truly, a man who knows when he's beat.

Jason: a man who knows i still have that fuckin' video is what that is-

[robs-your-robins]

You can't convince me that Jason Todd is like the pet that Ra's al Ghul did not want but let Talia keep anyway once she brought him home. Ra's will be having some meeting and Jason will just wander into the room, playing a game on his phone with the volume up or leaning over to show Ra's a meme. Jason showing up to join the assembly lines at the League or briefings, wearing sunglasses and clutching a soda from McDonald's. Jason sat next to Ra's at meetings, his legs propped on Ra's armrest. Jason playing the Imperial March every time Ra's is walking down a corridor. One of the League yelling for Jason to get down from the rafters after climbing up there to avoid training only for Ra's to tell the member to knock it off. Ra's grumbles about Jason's lack of boundaries and his impulsiveness but never actually does anything about it and saying he's going to punish Jason but he never actually gets around to it. Jason just tells him "to try it old man" and Ra's just rolls his eyes and it's forgotten about. Jason can pretty much do or say or have anything he wants within reason. And even after Jason leaves the League, Ra's will still fork out for stuff like safe houses or weapons and memorably, every once and a while, Damian approaches Bruce with a satellite phone, it is Ra's calling to tell him to leave Jason alone.

Doodle post. Featuring: how I wished UTRH ended.

[mikakuna]

I don't think we as a fandom fully take advantage of Jason being legally revived and thrust back into high society nearly enough. Because as a vigilante i think the Bats can control the narrative, but as a Public Figure?? Jason's well read, well traveled, and well connected given his relationship to Bruce and Talia. He'd be a hot commodity!!! Business men and socialites would be fist fighting each other to talk to him! He'd have a captive audience at every event he's forced to attend, always harping on the importance of funding the arts and giving back to the community (and if charitable donations in Gotham triple the year Jason comes back that's no one's business) It doesn't take long for Jason to become the people's princess Prince of Gotham

he is the people's princess !!!!!! i think he cried when he found out princes diana died

anyways YES TO ALL OF THIS omg i love love love that we all enjoy this prince of gotham/baby girl jason todd agenda ♥️♥️

we saw how jason behaved when he owned penguin's iceberg lounge so it's clear he'd be a very good smooth talker. he's captivating to watch!

also it would be funny if people started hyper focusing on jason's relationship with bruce because of their familial relationship and just start their own little speculations/theories. maybe there's reddit discussions dedicated to getting to the bottom of the mystery that is jason todd's "death." wdym this is the same jason todd that bruce wayne said was murdered? wait why is bruce wayne so weird around his own son??? is anyone else getting weird vibes from wayne?? poor jason omg guys he seems so alienated from the other waynes

jason ends up getting a fan base that does NOT play about him and, meanwhile irl, brucie's social friends start migrating to him.

[a-jasminator]

for fellow glowy!Jason enthusiasts and potential converts, have an all-blades concept

[soulless-bex]

i want Jason Todd to have a triple secret identity thing going where he gets up to magic bullshit with his soul swords and no one in the family knows

[monochrome-genesis]

My tepid Jason Todd take is that he should be the tactician in his team ups more often than not. One of the things that really stuck out to me in his Robin run/early post resurrection era is that he knows when he needs stack the deck in his favor and does a very good job at it. Less "Jason Todd runs into danger and needs to be saved bc he's Reckless™" and more "everyone assumes he runs in without thinking but in reality he already figured out what schemed he needs to get out of this relatively unscathed"

do you guys think that because the all blades only come out around true evil that Jason could act as like, a metal detector for demonistic and satanitc shit? because now i’m imagining him becoming Gotham’s version of the supernatural brothers. just ghostbustering around Gotham in his spare time.

Jason’s so overworked. he has to deal with his strained relationship with the bats; Bruce and him arguing every time they see each other, Damian knocking on his door every time there’s something about his new life that he doesn’t understand/wants to complain about, Tim sneaking into his fucking apartment to demand they ‘bond’ and Dick getting weepy and nostalgic everytime he even sees Jason’s face. On top of that, taking care of the alley, and running an entire organisation of subordinates, by the time he gets to a point in his life where he realises ‘fffffuck. thats a goddamn demon and i’m the most equipped person in the city to deal with it.’ he’s honestly so over the whole thing.

he’s so bitter that he has to do this, because not only is this new side-gig tiring but it’s also fucking insane. killing rapists and overseeing drug shipments never involved travelling into nephilim lairs and learning about ancient rituals that end with him crawling out of the sewers at 9am covered in blue goo that smells acidic; the closest would be back when he was Robin during the golden era when shit was just wacko, and by the gods he does not have any interest in returning to that kind of work-load, so why he’s HERE is anybody’s fucking guess.

eventually Dick, desperate to bond with the younger brother that he can feel slipping away again, starts tailing him to figure out why he’s never around- and instantly decides to join. Jason is honestly just relieved there’s somebody lightening the supernatural workload- Dick was also Robin during the golden era, he might not have Jason’s skills and amassed knowledge but he’s not as useless as the others.

it ends up with Red Hood and Nightwing being the fucking Winchester brothers of Gotham, constantly running around under the other bats’ noses because Jason refuses to have any of those idiots get involved in his wheelhouse when they have no particular powers against anything demonistic. Dick on his own is enough of a risk, because he also has no special abilities and thus almost dies on like, every job. Jason just lets him tag along because, begrudgingly, that’s his big brother and he’s kind of enjoying how close they’re getting; not to mention Dick at least isn’t stubborn like the other bats- he will screech for Jason’s help if he knows he’s in over his head, so Jason isn’t too worried. also it’s kind of funny how indignant Bruce is about this new secret friendship his two eldest are cultivating. those two being a united front against him never works out and he is. paranoid. meanwhile the said ‘united front’ are freaking the fuck out because a possessed gargoyle is chasing them around an abandoned leisure centre and Dick lost his goddamn shoe
