I am never letting go of the “English teacher Jason” headcanon/AU. It’s the best thing ever, I don’t give a shit what you might say. “He didn’t have a lengthy education” so what? This is an AU. He gets a better education. “He’s not good with kids” SAYS WHO. “He’s too busy with his vigilante life” IF TIM CAN RUN A COMPANY THEN JASON CAN BE A TEACHER.
specifically here are the reasons this headcanon/AU slaps:
jason: here's the homework for tonight, guys. bring it back in the morning. unless you have extenuating circumstances. I'm aware a lot of roads are closed and some of you might be hopped up on any number of air pollutants tomorrow because of the recent joker gas outbreak. just . . . i don't know, send me an email.
His students: . . . the homework is literally to read a book
jason: oh yeah. then . . . read. i guess. don't do anything else. also, don't go out. the bat's working on the gas problem.
jason: here's the book for this week's paper. It's one of my personal favorites! so disrespect it and I fail you.
his students: . . . this is a janme austen novel
jason: *built like a brick, wearing glasses that do not hidde his perpetual glower, has bruised knuckles* yes?
his students: *internally* thank god none of us have insulted jane austen before
his students: nothing, teach
Tim: hey, do you have time to join me on patrol tonight?
jason: sorry, no. i ghotta read and edit like four papers, and one of them is Jimmy's. it's gonna be a wine night.
tim:
tim: my first instinct is to ask why you're reading and editing papers but I really honestly just want to know what the fuck jimmy did
his students: *falling asleep*
jason: OMG IS THAT RED ROBIN
his students: *snap up to look out the window*
jason: *bangs hand on desk* WHY WOULD YOU CARE MORE ABOUT RED ROBIN THAN JOHN MUIR. ONE'S LITERALLY A KNOCKOFF ROBIN WITH A BURGER FRANCHISE COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT FOR A NAME
his students: *conversing in the hallway* yeah he's like . . . super ripped. i wonder if he . . . what if he's a superhero???
jason, wlaking past: *deadpan voice* ah, yes. i confess . . . *rips off glasses* I am superman
one brave soul: we were thinking more like . . batman
jason: what? ew, no.
