still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

"it's a summer day, and i want to be wanted more than anything else in the world."

this quote felt fitting, but it's the last line of a poem and it feels wrong to take it out of context like this. here's the whole thing.

i also considered animating the whole thing, but i wanted this to stay fun for me, so. here's this

working on something incredible u guys

[pangur-and-grim]

fairly reliably when someone is mean and weird to you on Tumblr, you can look on their blog and all their recent posts will be about how unhappy they are in their interpersonal relationships and/or how frustrated they are that their creative venture hasn't found success. and it's like ohhhhh okay, I get it. you're clawing at other people because you're actively drowning. my sympathies, that sucks, but I'm not a lifeguard so carry on.

So it’s widely accepted within the fandom that Jason Todd likes to read, and as someone who has read a lot of his comics, there are lots of instances of Jason making references to literature throughout the years.

But do you know who else has made many many references to literature over the years? Who is canonically a Shakespeare nerd with a particular passion for seeing Shakespeare performed? Who consistently is depicted with floor to ceiling book shelves in his room, and who had a whole arc in Rebirth about his favourite book from childhood which massively inspired him? RICHARD JOHN MOTHERFUCKING GRAYSON. I love Jason, but there are not enough fandom references to Canonical Bookworm and Shakespeare Nerd Dick Grayson for my liking.

I’m not even saying we should take away Jason’s status as the resident bookworm (sure it might be slightly over-exaggerated in fanon, but I do think removing it as a trait entirely could lead to some narratives which are accidentally (or purposefully) classist, and it’s not like there’s no canon evidence to support it anyway) — but I do think that there is a lot of potential in recognising Dick’s own canonical interest in literature. Just think of the arguments about Hamlet! They’d be insufferable!

@curly-cottage-girl you are a genius

"Do I look like him?"

[secondsongbird]

I’ll always be on Jason’s side bc if I died the way he did and my ‘family’ and ‘friends’ were talking about me like that I would also want to start blowing things up 😭

jason todd is incredible

Not for his character or anything, but because I don’t think I’ve seen anyone shoot themselves in the foot with a single character half as badly as DC did with Jason.

He was, during Under the Red Hood, one of the biggest gamechangers they could have thrown at Bruce Wayne’s Batman. Here was an intellectual equal to Batman and superior to the Joker and Gotham’s entire criminal underbelly. A tactical nuke primed to devastate Batman both emotionally and ideologically. Physically, ridiculously dangerous. exceptionally well-trained. a match for Batman in every way. He’s a character that Bruce can’t fight properly, and, worse, one that punches holes in Batman’s modus operandi in ways that instinctively makes sense to the audience.

Bruce’s son, his greatest failure, returned from the grave as an agent of vengeance. Batman, through a mirror darkly.

sounds super interesting, huh. 

Unfortunately, characters like Jason are also the agents of introspection and change. He would have forced Bruce to reflect and, worse still, readers to start second-guessing Batman’s morality. How many people walk away from Under the Red Hood thinking “holy shit, they should have killed the Joker”? Most, right? Jason would have changed Gotham’s status quo irreversibly and, unfortunately, Gotham can’t really change. progress can’t be made, villains can’t die forever, Batman can’t be wrong. 

Because it sells that way, obviously. The Joker will never die, no matter how heinous he is, not really. Not while he’s selling merch. 

So once it turned out that Jason was also super popular, what could DC do? He would shake things up too much if allowed to stay on course. He’s too dangerous, too strong. and so… character assassination! Keep the aesthetics of the angry shooty red helmet daddy issues clowns-bad man while changing the internal workings - fans won’t notice, right? 

Strip away his competence, reduce his skillset, make him an idiot, a lunatic, a brawny shoot-first-don’t-think meathead! He’s not a strategist, he’s stupid, he charges in headfirst. Change his approach to vigilantism. He was always a bad Robin - he was violent and petty and dangerous and he and Bruce never jived in the first place. Keep him out of Gotham as much as possible and when you can’t do that, either quietly pretend he’s on good terms with the batclan or have him and Bruce run around in circles.

And, most importantly, he has to be wrong. He has to be unreasonable. He needs to be the screwup that needs to be sanitised, put in his place, and come crawling back to Bruce so he can be safely assimilated into the family.

Circling around to Urban Legends, Jason and Bruce’s dynamic has completely flipped. Jason is the one that has to change for Bruce’s conditional love, rather than Jason setting the terms Bruce has to meet for Jason to trust him again. Jason is the one that has to learn a Very Important Lesson about the flaws in his morality and align himself with Bruce’s - bearing in mind that Jason developed his worldview after experiencing, firsthand, the flaws in Bruce’s.

Jason is no longer a mirror forcing Bruce to think and develop and grow. He’s one of two things - a stupid, unreasonable villain or Just Another Graduated Robin that Bruce has to control and keep in line just a touch more than the others. His post-reboot arc is him trying to move past his trauma and grow but losing it all and returning, battered and beaten, to Bruce’s side. He’s rapidly losing what made him interesting in the first place and fifteen years later Bruce still hasn’t learnt a damn thing.

jason could never be jason for an extended period of time. villains would die, gotham would change, batman would evolve, and DC is too scared to try (hell, they can’t even let bruce stay dead). a braver industry might have made something amazing out of him but unfortunately DC comics just ain’t it

I would love to go 5 minutes of reading about a Jason mention without someone victim blaming him for his death or talking smack about him

Like hey dc it’s actually not remotely charming that these ‘heroes’, usually grown adults, are blaming a teenager, a child, for his death, especially since in the material he was trying to save and protect someone and he was TRICKED. And even in his last moments he was STILL trying to be a hero. It makes them look SOOOO bad. Like it’s not even funny how shitty they sound 😭
