Okay, Iāve been avoiding rambling about the Titans Tower thing because I was afraid that the moment I opened my mouth, Iād immediately start ranting sarcastically about the fanon version of the titan tower, but I really want to talk about Jasonās message... more seriously (or not, this post won't necessarily be profound, insightful, or thorough, itāll basically just be more rambling). If I can't help myself at the end please believe that I tried my best to rein myself in guys.
As Iāve said before, I think the way Jason left that message is (1) more akin to how the girls at my school would write their names on desks like "() was here <3" with the handprint is like a cute waving hand as a "hi guys <33" rather than, uh... *checks notes*... Jason slitting Timās throat and using his blood to leave a message like how serial killers do while Tim was lying there dying on the floor due to fanon and (2) hilarious if I think about how he was going up and down a ladder with a red can to paint that on the wall because he was too damn dramatic.
and (3).... (3) is gonna be long and I don't like (3) it's just some thoughts at the bottom of my head that I need to get it out.
For some reason, I keep thinking it was Jasonās blood, not Timāsā¦ because, well, Jason didnāt slit his throat... that didnāt happen... technically, it could have been Timās blood, Jasonās, someone elseās, fake blood, red paint, anything.
But this is just me rambling, so I like to think it was Jasonās blood. It reminds me of the scene where Jason takes off his helmet in front of Bruce, anxiously waiting for him to realize who it is, just so he can smile when he hears Bruce say his name. And his hand didnāt tremble at all when he sliced āāopen his own scalp to get at the flesh, blood, and tissue. I think Bruce had some guesses about that, but Jason did it anyway to force the confirmation. "Check it all. You'll find that it's me." "It won't make me believe." "No, it will. You are a creature of logic and science. You'll to know what I am."
Maybe itās the same with the writing on the Titans Tower. I mean... Jason realized there wasn't a statue of him in the Tower. The phrase "Jason was here" serves as a reminder to everyone that he was once a Titan too, he had been there fighting alongside them, he was one of them.Ā
It was also a way of announcing his return. Don't you think he was anticipating their reactions? Did he hope Bruce, Alfred, or anyone else would be happy to see him back? (He sent Alfred a gift in utrh) Did anyone even care that he was alive? Did any of the Titans remember the boy who used to fight with them, or had they forgotten him entirely? He saw that there wasn't a statue of him in the Titans' Tower yet he still wanted them to know he was back, so he wrote those words in his own blood, just as he had done with Bruce. If the Titans wanted to, they could test the blood and confirm it was really him (the handprint might even yield fingerprints, Iām not sure how that works, I donāt really know but I imagine he left enough evidence for them to know it was truly him, just like with Bruce, because... well, because he cared). He was Jason, the real Jason Todd, the second Robin, back from the dead and he was right there. Did anyone care?
Haha, so I find myself wondering what they did with that message. It seems like theyād just wash it off... but I keep thinking about how perhaps Jason was likely waiting to see how theyād react, whether theyād even bother (because why else would he left that message I think itās likely that he really did care)... but in the end, it seems they didn't, because nothing happened afterward. No one came looking for him. I don't think Jason really had any clear expectations about it, he probably didn't even count on them verifying it and coming to confront him, though it would have been great if they had. But it seems there was no reaction from them at all. Maybe they didn't get it tested, maybe they didn't believe it was actually him. Or worse, they knew but simply didn't care. No one cares about him, no one cares whether he's alive or dead.
If I were to write this like some terrible Titans Tower AU fanfic, the Titans would be absolutely furious upon seeing that message, convinced Jason had used Tim's blood to write it. Theyād be dead set on that idea, even though Tim hadn't actually lost that much blood. They wouldn't have time to dwell on the writing or get it tested because theyād be too busy fussing over poor, weak, pitiful Timmy whoād just been attacked by a terrorist and had no way to fight back. Theyād probably scrub the message away in a hurry, seething with rage at how cruel and heartless Jason was for using Tim's blood like that. Theyād likely think back to the boy who used to fight alongside them, telling themselves theyād known all along he was no good and bound to go down the wrong path, and the current situation would just prove it *cough cough Raven saying Jason always believed heād surpass them all cough cough cough cough*. But they wouldn't dwell on it for long, theyād be too busy caring about poor tiny little baby Tim š„ŗ and completely forgot about Jason's message. And Bruce cares more about the Joker. And Alfred certainly cares more about Bruce. Hey, it doesn't matter anyway. No one cares.
*grimaces and retches* Just kill me already. What the hell did I just write? Itās absolutely horrific, terrible, and revolting. Iām practically gasping for air and convulsing. Thisās unbearable. If you want to torture me, all you have to do is tie me to a chair and read aloud any random post from that damn "titan tower" tag. Iād foam at the mouth and drop dead on the spot.Ā
#I understand the arguments that it's not blood bcs blood doesn't dry that color #but this is a comic and they're prone to artistic liberties #I don't think the message was planned and I don't think there's just randomly available red paint and I don't think he brought any #He just used what he brought with him: himself via @liedownquisition
#people really underestimate the idea that if Jason wanted Tim dead #he would've been dead #also love the idea that it's Jason's blood #shows the time and consideration he put into this #also very symbolic of his blood being used as writing #in a hall where he was denied a statue #putting a piece of himself where he wasn't allowed to be but was supposed to via @nighterwriter
#It really only makes sense for it to be Jason's blood #The message is a reminder that he exists #It's a demand to be seen #His own blood would be an undeniable identifier #The fight was hardly about Tim as a person. Using Tim's blood has zero significance to the point he's trying to make #Saying āJason Todd Was Hereā in Tim's blood is in fact entirely antithetical to the message via @meenanya
