Any ONE particular pairing in mind or are you going the Dream Daddy route of having multiple daddies lined up for Jay?
I want to do something with multiple daddies and Jay eventually, but I think I want to try something with just one pair to start! I’m not sure which one yet... I’m definitely leaning toward one of my “big three” (sladejay, jayroman, or brujay), though.
PART 1 I know this is a strange question but how do you view Jasons appearance in terms of how attractive he is? For the longest time I assumed he wasnt really anything special, super average. But of course fics pushed a more hot image of him and then DC canon kept hinting at the fact that he is indeed a very a handsome (bad) boy. I think it even showed up on his dc profile at some point. But he himself doesnt acknowledge that fact perhaps due to insecurities? Point is now I see Jason as
PART 2 someone who is not the same level of supermodel sexy and instant head turner that Dick is, for me that is certain simply cause it would negate all the ‘dick is the hottest hero in dc’ stuff. I wouldn’t make this comparison if there already wasn’t such a clear competitive streak between them (plus since I ship them and I have to know!). I personally see Jason as a handsome birb now, dare I even say pretty at times what with his striking gaze and sharp jawline etc HOWEVER his general PART 3 persona is not the welcoming aura that Dick leaves behind. He doesnt have the winning smile but the sarcastic smirk, he doesnt have bright friendly eyes but ones that are hooded, guarded even. And people avoid his eye since he has a resting b**** face that is intimidating and does not do justice to how GOOD he CAN look. Anyway thats how I interpret his supposed canon/fic good looks and why they are not capitalized on more. What is your impression of his looks? Like in your writing? :) Part 4 WHoops I ran outta room on the ask, I forgot to add, I hope you have a lovely day, you are by far one of my favorite writers, and thank you for your fics, you deserve way more appreciation for your work, which always has such a high quality, its truly amazing!
Hi! Thanks for your question (and for saying such lovely things, you’re too kind <3)
I talked a bit about my personal take on Jason’s appearance back in my favourite canon depictions post, and I absolutely see him as a good looking guy. Not bordering on pretty as much as Dick or Tim, and striking more than traditionally handsome, but good looking certainly, with sharp features, a slightly crooked nose (from being broken one too many times), bold eyebrows, thick black hair (which is loosely curling), and most of all, distinct eyes. I always imagine when people look at Jason, it’s his eyes that capture their attention most, with that shade caught between blue and green, highlighted by the fact he has unusually thick eyelashes no need for mascara there.
Even ignoring personal interpretation, Jason is canonically tall, well built, has amazing thighs and depending on the artist since the New 52, somewhere on the line between handsome and pretty. The way Dexter Soy and Alisson Borges draw him is particularly perfect to me.
I also absolutely agree with you that the discrepancy comes in with how Jason views himself. This boy just does not have good opinions about himself, and I think his appearance is included as a part of that. He’s not completely self-loathing over his looks, but he doesn’t think of himself as anything special either, and when people – even people he trusts – do give him compliments in that respect (just as with most aspects of his life) he struggles to believe them as genuine. He’ll either joke and shrug it off, or try to ignore anything was said at all. Jason also naturally carries himself in a way that encourages people not to look at him, which is a habit he first developed as a street kid as a defence to ward off the wrong kinds of attention from him. Then as a vigilante, a “Don’t fuck with me” aura more than comes in handy, and because of this many people don’t really take the time to look at him and notice his appearance because their first impression is, “This guy is trouble and I should stay out of his way.” unless Jason is making an effort not to come across that way, such as when he’s trying to calm women and kids he’s saved. The only people who ever see him genuinely relaxed and smiling are his family and friends, of which he has few.
All of which combines as an explanation for why, even though good looking, Jason doesn’t get the same kind of attention for it as say, someone like Dick does. As fact he’s both jealous of and relieved about, because he’s a contrary person that way.
Basically, in conclusion, Jason is a very good looking birb who needs to learn to love himself more. I think we can all agree on that XD
Gosh the newest RHATO tho! It just confirmed that Jason did in fact crawl out of his grave first, so they didnt actually change it to the UTRH movie version of events where he was resurrected via Lazarus pit. It also mentions him tracking his BIRTH mother which implies that he had a stepmom so I think the Sheila Haywood character may be in continuity again! So none of that Joker planned my whole life nonsense. Hopefully.
i feel like lobdell has someone reading tumblr looking for things people hated about new 52 and he’s just fixing them or something like wth.
i think sheila is still up in the air. the quote is that he ‘thought’ he was tracking down his birth mother, so her actual existence is still in question.
but yes! it does really strongly imply that the grave crawling was literal and not just jason using it as a turn of phrase. i’m pretty happy about that.
Legit though ak jason is a gem. We should appreciate him so much more
we rly should, he’s all of Jason’s trauma taken to its logical extreme
like if DC wants one of the Robins to be a dictator, why not him? it’d make more sense than Dick or Tim, smh

Just in case you haven’t seen it. Whipbogard has actually drawn a mer thingy with tentacle Jason. whipbogard.tumblr.com/p…
ahh yes, I love it!! that’s actually the thing that got me imagining octo-mer!Jay long ago (idk why I just remembered it out of the blue now)
I love how he just... emerges
Sorry this is a Jason centric question but one particular line he has in rhato9 has puzzled me. "Just me in a pine box. Buried in secret." If we can assume that his adoption was official and reported (just like in pre52), that Jason was known to the world as Bruces adopted son, then do you suppose that line indicates that Jasons death was handled under the radar? That he (as Jason Todd) was perhaps never reported to be dead to the public? I'm just trying to decipher what he means by 'in secret'.
Possibly, yes. DC has been attempting to integrate him back into the family for a while now, and they probably don’t want to deal with all the issues of Jason being legally dead (neither do I, frankly, which is why I have a fic in planning where he’s legally resurrected).
However, it could potentially also be referring to the fact that Bruce moved and hid Jason’s body (as per Hush). This is a pretty obscure reference and DC is so hit and miss with their own continuity that I kind of doubt it.
The other options are dramatic effect or Lobdell not thinking it through, but option one seems like the most likely and interesting at this point.

...oh my god, the thought never occurred to me but it’s perfect
