Red Hood Incorrect Quotes Pt 84

Jason: It's not the worst date I've ever had. There was that one that kept stabbing me with a fork.

Jason: Look at the buns on that guy.

Roy: *laying on ground, covered in burger buns*

Dick: This is the comedy police, the joke's too funny!

Jason, drawing gun: I'm not going back to jail!

Life in all-caste

Girl!Dad Jason Todd for Father's Day

Making Fan Kids Of My Favorite Jason Ships (and some headcanons)

Jayrose kids first. It's only fair because it was that one comic panel of them with their daughter that started this.

Ophelia Leona Todd-Wilson, Virgo - Sept. 13th

The oldest daughter. She has long straight white hair and Jason's teal eyes.

Daphne Katherine, Aries April 13th

Middle daughter. She has curly black hair that has a white streak in the front. Rose's pale grey blue eyes. She's named Katherine, after Catherine.

(Just imagine a white streak and embrace the vision 💪)

Haelaena Wren, Leo - August 13th

The youngest (and slightly spoiled) daughter. She has white curly hair and Jason's baby blues from before he died. Wren like a small bird, like a Robin.

Also imagine: Dante from either DMC 2 or from the new Netflix amine as their son. His name would still be Dante.

Jayroy. I always get this vibe that they have Lian as a preteen and then have another daughter. There's a big age gap (10+ years) between them but Lian adores her sister.

Dinah Dove Todd-Harper. Dinah for Roy's mother and Dove for Jason. It's a small bird and also a four letter word that starts with D. Dick bawled his eyes out when he held her for the first time.

Jaytemis will always have a set of boy-girl twins to me, I fear. (Artemis being a goddess in a set of boy-girl twins.) I made up their names using this process. First name is Greek and the second name is Catholic. (lowkey religious trauma twins....) Oh and that the middle names had to start with the same letter.

Evangeline Anges and Damon Ambrose.

For Evangeline, you have image this aura

but this hair

And Damon but imagine black fox tips.

Jayessence

Sable Alouette Todd. Her middle name means songbird. Her first name is supposed to vaguely resemble Essence in the way that's it's more of a description than a name.

She's a little aloof-mostly because she's so busy rebuilding the All-Caste back to the glory days. She reminds Jason of Tim in the way that's she'll forgo sleep when she's on the trail of something. Her eyes switch between ice blue and completely unsettling black. (Sorta like the Grimm eyes.)

Primehood.....I had to do it I fear.

Elektra Jane

Her name is Elektra bc it is both a comic book characters name and the daughter of Clymenstra, who has reminded me of Jason before. Jane because Jane Austin.

if ur into polyships, who would u add on to jaygrant?

The thing is that I don't really dig polyships, normally, because I'm a possessive little shit with my blorbos, especially jaygrant because I want Jason with someone who I know will treat him right.

BUT

I do love to explore possibilities, JayGrantKyle, Jason x Grant x Jaime (Reyes), JayGrantEssence

JayGrantKyle, Kyle would have add more harmony to jaygrant while also slowly growing insane, I don't know if they'd last but they sure would be fun to see interact

JayGrantJaime, I'm generous enough to give Grant two latino boyfriends with gorgeous deer eyes, two hot, determined, intimidating boyfriends to Jaime and Jason gets two cute losers obsessed with him, this one might be my fave.

JayGrantEssence, the flavor of two dead boys dating an ethereal existence is immaculate to me

On some level, I feel kinda bad for all the people getting attached to the Jason ships that will probably never return/die bc the writers suck

This includes both his m/f ships and m/m ones

[moon-ayyye]

The thing with any jason ship is that he and his partner are always truly unhinged towards each other, if not in general. And it's always glorious

There are a lot of What-ifs when it comes to Jason Todd. What would've happened if bruce didn't take Jason in? What if Jason was taken in by Selina and became stray? what if jason didn't die? what if Jason was found before the lazarus pit? But one that i don't see at all is what if Jason didn't come back and just stayed with the All Caste?

The Lost Days arc would go about the same as in canon (without the jaytalia because ew), but after the car bomb thing doesn't pan out, Jason just starts looking into the batfam more. He sees his dad for the first time in years. He forgets everything and considers coming back home.

But then he finds out how his death was handled

Of course, he'd still be pissed off about tim becoming robin, but more than that, bruce and dick spun it so people thought tim was the second robin. Jason's whole identity was usurped and was prompted by alfred of all people. Add to that the memorial case and the victim blaming, as well as him not having a memorial in titans tower and tim talking shit about him every chance he gets, and jason starts to lose hope. But these things could be fixed! These could all be explained away as emotionally incompetent people compartmentaling in order to get over their grief! right?

Then he finds the footage of dick killing the joker for tim. Sure, the joker taunted dick using jason's memory, but it was him thinking tim was dead that really set him off. The final nail in the coffin would be bruce reviving the joker. Jason now has proof that 1. tim was indeed his replacement, and 2. Bruce's morals and dick's clean hands are worth more than his mangled corpse.

He scraps all of his plans because now he KNOWS that bruce would never kill the joker for him. Disillusioned with bruce and gotham in general, he sneaks into arkham and puts a bullet in the joker's skull, then goes to the all caste for training. If they didn't care about him, why should he care about them?

I think ducra would be less wary about training jason in this au, since his drive for revenge had dissipated, and he wouldn't "bring great evil into this world."

Since ducra wouldn't really show favouritism to jason, since he isn't as much of a flight risk or a time bomb, i think his and essence's relationship would go way better than in canon. Their main points of contention were jason leaving the caste and ducra's favouritism, and without those 2 factors, their relationship could actually flourish.

Due to the all blades being linked to the soul, it would make sense if the caste taught soul magic. This would make jason a way better fighter than any baseline vigilante or assassin. Maybe he could use his abilities to hide his body language to avoid shiva and cass' ability? The all caste doesn't get massacred here, so he learns how to really socialise, talk with people with different experiences, so he could occasionally go back to the alley or the hill to reconnect with his old friends, like dana or numbers, since he wouldn't push people away like in canon.

The untitled wouldn't be as big of a threat as they were in RHatO since there are way more people available, and jason being super trained, so maybe jason would adopt a new vigilante identity to help people on a more personal level. He considers going by Red Hood, as a taunt to the man that killed him, but he doesn't like it. It's a remnant of a past he'd rather forget. Maybe he'd go by cardinal, but he doesn't want to be associated with a bird anymore. I think marauder would be a really good name for him, a man who goes around looking for things to steal and people to fight.

You can have him interact with some justice league dark members, especially Constantine since I really like their dynamic, and he could deal with hellspawns since he wields the allblades now.

JayEssence is a rarepair, which is a shame since i think these 2 could have a really interesting dynamic if written properly, so I'd probably go with that as the endgame ship, but you could work in so many of his ships. JayRose? childhood friends on the titans who reconnected after jason studied under slade for a bit. JayEddie? same thing but they reconnect in hell. Jaytemis? they could run into eachother during a mission and they'd recognise death anywhere. enemies to reluctant allies to lovers. JayDana? classic childhood friends to lovers. The possibilities are endless
