Thinking about priest Jason Todd and realizing that would be really fucking funny if he was just this die hard catholic.

Damian, invading his safe house again messing around like a little shit: What do you keep in this drawer? Tt- It's probably a knife.

Jason: My Bible.

Damian:

Damian: Your what?

Jason, deadpanned: My Bible.

Dick: I know I will regret this

Dick: What's up with the altar candle's in front of Virgin Mary?

Jason: I pray for each soul I take.

Dick: I'm sorry– you what?

Jason: Each sould I take. When I kill people. So they find their way into purgatory. How do you think they are getting in hell? I light the candle, I pray for them *Looking at the candles* Your welcome.

In the middle of a shooting with almost a hundred henchmen

Jason, whispering: If we get out of here alive I'll walk the entirety of Gotham's church stairs on my knees.

The signal, next to him: Because that definitely won't be nothing disturbing. Early mourning fuckin Redhood, walking on his knees to a church. You usual Sunday in Gotham city.

Jason: Shut up asshole I'm praying.

Batman, inside of a church at nine pm doing an investigation: What are you doing here?

Jason lifting his head up from the church pew, holding his hands: The fuck look like I'm doing?

please can i hear your episcopalian jason thoughts. i saw your art where he has the pride shield on his fridge and now i'm obsessed

Haha, him being Episcopalian is mostly a mix of self-projection and headcanons I’ve seen about him being Catholic. Overall, I think the idea of him being religious is a really interesting dynamic, especially for me, since I was raised practically Catholic.

The whole resurrection thing, even though it was technically because of Superboy, is still an interesting dynamic from religious perspectives. Canonically, Jason did go to heaven, which is another interesting angle to mess around with.

Why Episcopalian? Well, in my headcanon, Jason is gay—like me. I’ve seen a few headcanons about him being raised Catholic, which is neat. But I like to think that at some point, after mellowing out from being batshit crazy, he reconciles with his faith and, at the same time, realizes he’s a full-blown homosexual. Which adds to a new level of conflict, hahah.

He most likely went through some kind of existential crisis—I’m not worthy of God’s love, why did He make me gay?—for a few months. Until one night, he stumbles upon a church, thinking it’s Roman Catholic. But midway through the service, he starts noticing a few odd things.

"Huh, since when did the Vatican ordain women?"

"Wow, the music is extra today… and everybody’s actually singing.:

"This is less dreadful than usual."

"Wait… is that someone wearing a pride pin?"

And it went on from there, lol.

Anyways, SO SORRY for rambling. Believe it or not, this is kind of a big thing for me, hahah.

Maybe I've just missed it, but I feel like there's not enough discussion on Catholic Jason Todd and his feelings on being seemingly resurrected by God Jeesie-Chreesie style.

Like, we as the readers know that it was a reality bending punch from Superboy Prime that brought Jason back, but in canon no one has any explanation at all for how that happened.

The Lazarus Pit fixed him, but he was already alive (just in super bad shape) to be fixed. He woke up in his own coffin and had to claw out of his own grave and no one in-universe can explain how or why it happened.

And that alone would fuck someone up, but add in Catholic Guilt (TM) and references to the resurrection floating around every Easter and Jason's gotta wonder at least a little bit if the Big G brought him back and if so has to absolutely agonize over what he's done with his big second chance.

I just wanna read 100k words of Jason's complicated feelings on his death, rebirth (resurrection?), Red Hood, God, Bruce and what it all means, if anyone's got any recs please share them I'm begging 😭

Reasons Baby!Jason was never allowed to be an altar server: couldn’t be trusted with fire

More of my boy catholic Jason Todd.

Damian: Shouldn't you be at church?

Jason: Nah, I have a couple more sins to add up the list

Alfred: Pardon?

Jason: Nothing.

Penguin: Why don't finish this ridiculous charade? Aren't you're going to hell anyway?

Jason: Aren't you're getting your ass sended back to Arkham ever shitty crime you commit anyway and yet here we fucking are.

Damian petting the Batcow:

Jason: What she got?

Damian: She's sick.

Jason: Give me her name, I'll put her in my prayers.

Damian:

Damian: You seriously think God going to magically cure her?

Jason: No dumbass. It's saint– (pause) DICK WHO WAS THE SAINT THAT CURE ANIMALS AGAIN?

Dick (from the kitchen): SAINT FRANCIS

Jason: Saint Francis it's goings to magically cure her.

Damian: That's stupid.

Jason: You want the prayer or not.

Damian narrowing his eyes, immediately: Batcow.

I just love the idea of Jason finding Bernard incredibly goofy looking. Tim sent him a message with a photo of Bernard saying "thoughts?" and Jason just typed back "And prayer's man I don't know what to tell you"

[sourkreem]

i really need to draw Jason as a priest doing priesty stuff

[qcomicsy]

ALSO, I WANT TO MAKE THIS VERY CLEAR.

THIS is the Catholic I'm talking about.
