#hamu!jay

Reverse Robins: Jason is used to sleeping in cramped spaces by the time he's adopted. Damian has found Jason in several cabinets and closets, even his own wardrobe. Jason seemed to have grown out of it until they adopted more kids. Jason started going back into old habits and it gets worse as their family gets bigger, to the point where Tim is awkwardly comforting Jason while Jason is curled up in Tim's safe house, in a chest of all things. Needless to say, both Damian and Bruce kind of realized that they might have fucked up with not telling Jason anything

Aw, is he getting nervous around Dickie and Babs? :O 

That’s a cute headcanon - Jay liking small spaces to hide in.

It reminds me of the hamu!Jay headcanon where hamster Jay would climb into the vents or into wardrobes and fall asleep, leaving Bruce frantic to find him:) 

I can easily see Damian losing his mind when he can’t find the newest baby, looking through all the hidey-holes in the Manor. And then Dickie, the new baby, finding his older brother snoring in this or that cabinet;]

Please explain to an oldie from the livejournal fanfic days what 'hamu' is? Because it sounds adorable. Thanks you!

It’s a shortened form of the Japanese hamusutā, which means ‘hamster’. Yeah, the animal. If you ever watched old school Cartoon Network you may be familiar with Hamtaro, which kind of puts into perspective the adorableness surrounding the word hamu. Specifically, @whumpbby has an AU idea where all the humans are anthropomorphised or have animal traits and in it Jason is a hamster-human. And it’s freaking adorable. I drew this for it a while ago.

I've been thinking a lot about the world that hamu hamu Jason lives in and it has me wondering about a few miscellaneous things. Like are the animals there consider humans that never fully evolved? Also, can people understand the animals that they carry the traits of? Also, if they have the traits of a herbervoir are they themselves so?

Sorry for the late answer, I as mulling over the specifics of the verseXD

So, the kemonomini have not much to do with the animals, let’s just assume that they are only marginally related to the animals they represent:) The people carry he traits of the animals and to a degree can communicate with them - but in a very limited way. 

Damian is a predator, but he chose to be a vegetarian - which poses a bit of a problem, since he has to get his protein and fats from somewhere else now;] Jason is a herbivore, but enjoys a burger here and there.

I think the instincts work in as much as the person allows themselves to follow them. Bruce is a big believer in trusting his instincts, so his kids were raised in an environment accepting of it - for Dick especially it was a godsent, as the orphanage was trying to raise ‘cultured’ children and wanted him to stifle his wild parts. With Bruce he didn’t have to. Jason was a bit different - he was stifling his instincts for a completely different reason and Bruce respected that Jay needed to feel fully safe to let go. :)

Hope that answers the question!
