Some Friendly Reminders

Hana Song (D. Va) was drafted into the military of South Korea between the ages of 16-19 years old

Meaning Hana Song was likely a Child Soldier

A child soldier going into a war that had already been raging for nearly 30 years

To contrast, Jack Morrison was 18 when he joined the military during peace time, then planned on going back to the farm

Point being that the idea that Jack wouldn’t treat her, a 19 year old soldier, with respect that we haven’t at all seen in the fan comics (at least not the ones I’ve seen)...

Is utter fucking bullshit

And the fact that the fandom keeps perpetuating the idea that she’s a child without at all showing the fact that she is a successful actress, streamer, and soldier in one person who was drafted into the war before she was completely out of childhood is, again...

Utter Fucking Bullshit

So, for the love of God or whatever iteration of him you believe/don’t believe in...

Show her as more than a ‘dorito eating gremlin’ Thank you

The best scene in the series is Dante’s scene with Agnus

@batmanofthewestcoast said: As of now, one of the biggest villains during Jason’s time as Robin is Deacon Blackfire (Batman: The Cult). Would you retroactively add new villains during Jason’s time with Batman, or would you focus more on working with established members of the Rogue’s Gallery?

Actually I have thought about moving Deacon Blackfire from Bruce’s gallery to Jason’s for a couple reasons./ One was because Jason has a bit more of the gritty parts of Gotham in him than any other member of the family and Blackfire made the effort to use that part of the city for a power play which I imagine Jason taking a lot of exception to, along with having more history with him as a Robin. There are also other villains that I’d probably need to do research on that are minor enough for me to take and modify before using before adding them to Jason’s gallery.

At the same time, tho, it’s important for Jason to build his own identity as a crime fighter and give him villains unique to him. Arc villains that challenge him and make him a better person and a better hero by having him fight them because it’s important to have him fight enemies that act as foils just like how Bruce has had the same enemies.

8 9 10 for What Scares Her The Most

8: Did any real people or events inspire any part of it? Sort of? I see a lot of my older sister in Harper, greanted minus the alternative style that Harper likes. The idea of giving up your childhood for someone else to have theirs is something that hits close to home for me and it’s easy to see that in Harper Row

9: Were there any alternate versions of this fic? In the original version of this story, Harper and Jason were going to be sparring for a while and she wasn’t going to get burried alive. Instead of facing her fears, Jason was going to try and teach her about fighting, body conditioning and perception

10: Why did you choose this pairing for this particular story? It is absolutely no secret that I see Harper and Jason as two sides of the same coin.

Okay, so with both of them, you got the little uppity punk from crime alley, right? Both of them show up at a hard time in Bruce’s life (Jason was on the anniversary of his parents death, Harper (although she’d hung around before) made a monument to Damian with the Gotham skylight).

They both have lost their moms and both their dads are criminal deadbeats. There’re a lot of parallels to draw from in regards to their characters and I really wanted to address them in this story by showing that Harper is really scared of becoming Jason because she knows his story and she knows how close she is to becoming another Red Hood.

But I also wanted to address the idea that Jason doesn’t like what he is, even if he recognizes it as a necessity, and the only way to make sure they can move forward is if he took her and pushed her to the breaking point and then, and only then, could HARPER be satisfied with the knowledge of her not turning into an early Red Hood.

I don’t like Emma and Regina can do so much better than her.

There. I said it.

[crim-bat]

I think one of the worst things about Jason dying wasn’t even the death itself, it’s that, postmortem, writers went out of their way to justify it.
