So am I 100% meant to be in bed or studying for an exam but procrastinating on tumblr to avoid my problems? Yes. Absolutely. But I must SPEAK OUT THIS INJUSTICE TOWARDS JASON PETER TODD!
I'm SICK, SICCCCKKKKKK of HC's where Jason is some nonchalant, cool boy who pretends his partner isn't even real until he needs sexual favours or "When they are in danger and he regrets everything!!!" STOP IT! YOU SLANDER MY SON!!!
Here's an EXACT and (in my professional hopeless romance genre objectively correct) Headcanoned timeline of how Jason fares as a partner:
- Starting point/he just caught the feels: Okay THIS is the only time he can be nonchalant. No matter how hard he falls, that boy is traumatised and has never seen a healthy love between two people. Of course he's kinda standoffish and cold, like coaxing a mistreated cat out of the hiding spot. HOWEVER, he isn't a POS- just kinda awkward. You/Oc need to do the reaching out first.
- Something changes/OMG this is real love: YES, there are TWO phases to the crush. One when he can acknowledge it as just attraction and one where he skydives into his feelings and realises this is SOMETHING MUCH REALER THAN FLIRTY BANTER! This is where I pose, "He crushes like a teen girl" HC. Giggles like a maniac at every text, kinda dazes off a little too much when he catches a song, smell or food that reminds him of said crush- if he journals which I think he does, there's entries about you/Oc. A LOT OF ENTRIES.
- First dates: He's a Jane Austen/classical romance reader, he's pulling a Romeo and mentally already jumping hoops on how you were destined to be together and stars smiled upon such pure love, blah blah blah. However he is still semi-closed off. Fear is a natural killjoy/heartbreaker, however AGAIN he is NAWT a POS to his date, it's just a little awkward and he looks like he's held at gunpoint whenever you ask about HIS wants and needs. (Let the man grow some self confidence gradually)
-Dating/It's offical: In the sense that his partner loves him, truly and honestly, Robin/Red Hood/Outlaw/Jason Todd ect? THAT MAN IS NEVER LEAVINGGGGG!!!! Frankly having something THAT GOOD in his pretty shitty life would somewhat drive him crazy protective and clingy. Yes, he's basically moved in by now and sleeps beside you in bed, like you guys are some married couple. Hell, you wanna push it? Probably has the ring picked out and only by the power of common sense is making him wait for a good amount of time to pass before proposing. He is a darling and almost never lost the romantic in him. Flowers from the first date up until he has to pluck them from the side of the road before crashing through a window into your home, because "What's a concussion and possible internal bleeding to getting my love flowers to match their beauty?". Also fuck off if you believe he doesn't spend 99.9% of his time at 'home' crushing his partner as they hold his mass of a 6 foot build as he rambles about anything and everything. From what books he's reading to "Did you know I saw a pigeon lay eggs on patrol?" Again, married couple behaviour. Has to relearn the concept of personal space because he loves so deeply and whole it works akin to an antidepressant, except it's not because his love is so much more than that. He needs to be weened off you/oc before going on far away missions otherwise his poor team (and enemies) has to deal with his withdrawal from his partner. HE IS CLINGY, PROTECTIVE AND A LITTLE CHILDISH- I LOVE HIM RAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
