how do you think the batfam mightve progressed if jason never died?

Whaa, 4 asks at once? I’m sorry I still haven’t gotten back on the last one, I thought I was unstuck but guess what, I wrote myself into a pretty little corner by being all ‘I don’t care about what’s canon! i’m just gonna have fun!’ which is the correct approach except then you find out the thing you made up is incorrect and idk how to deal with that. being wrong. it’s a life skill i’m still working on.

So like, if the vote had gone the other way...it depends so much on the writing and editing teams, and so little on real causality, it’s hard to frame a picture?

Jason was created as an alternative to aging Dick down and taking him out of the Titans; his new character origin after the Crisis on Infinite Earths barely got out of its shakedown tour before they killed him off. We know who he was enough to spot the major character derailments, but who he might have been? It’s hard to say.

If he’d made it through the vote, the noisy fans would still have hated him, and so would the man writing his comics. I doubt Starlin would ever have convinced DC to do the HIV plotline with Robin like he reportedly tried, but I feel like Something Bad remained likely.

The 90s are known for their grimdarkness for a reason, and Jason just missed living through them. I feel like his odds of going villain were pretty high anyway, not because of him but because of the constant need for drama fuel. I mean, Alfred had a villain phase, in the 60s.

Babs became Oracle almost simultaneous with the Robin trade-off, debuted the same month Jason died (January ‘89), so that still would have happened. Tim’s influence on her was very slight.

Without Tim, there would have been no need for Steph, since she was created partly as a love interest but more importantly as a foil, and a way of getting more of that high-energy feeling traditionally associated with Robin back into the story even though so many of the fans loathed it and refused to have it in their lead.

(Not that Tim didn’t have a lot of it anyway, but it wasn’t his core feel the way it had been for Dick and Jason. Possibly of note, the ‘87 Killing Joke and ‘89 Batman movie also marked a rise in the use of Joker as Batman’s main dramatic foil rather than Robin, which coupled with the Bronze Age in general really shaped Tim’s character direction. It’s hard to say what caused what, with these trends.)

They might have introduced a girl anyway, to replace Babs. Maybe even a version of Cass. Shiva stated under interrogation during ADitF that she had no child, but in comics terms that half-guaranteed she’d get one eventually, because the concept was now out there.

I doubt Jason would have gotten his own series in the 90s, considering his screaming hatedom and the fact that it took three extremely successful mini-series to get Tim a regular title, but if DC had managed to repackage his character into something that the 90s liked and he had made a go of it, he’d probably have acquired a completely different supporting cast. He might well have continued his pattern of acquiring moms. Maybe even Talia. The whole Sheila thing would have been a half-forgotten backstory subplot by like ‘94 probably.

It occurs to me after typing all of this that you might want to hear my ideas about what in-universe causality might logically have led to, lmao. Let’s see.

Jason’s adolescence was hitting a rocky stage that I doubt this betrayal and near-death experience and technical bereavement would have ended, though it would probably have hit harder than his last few near-death experiences even assuming another improbable complete recovery.

If we up the realism dial a little, he might be forced into retirement by the severity of his wounds. He’d still have to hash out his trust issues with Bruce, probably more than ever. Being a shit communicator was not yet a key part of Bruce’s personality; they might have sorted things out.

Jason would not have dropped out of college. If he’s retired, he goes into a prestigious but helping-centered field with an understanding that he is now the son Bruce trusts to step up to keep WE on the straight and narrow after he dies; inheritance of voting shares may be structured around this expectation.

(Dick experiences that really complicated hypocritical jealousy where you specifically rejected a thing, but it spent so long being marked yours that you feel robbed anyway when someone else gets it. Not a lot of it in the disability scenario, because there’s a distinct vibe of consolation prize there, but otherwise.)

Babs would still have been Oracle. It would have been a less fraught launch, though.

Dick might not have heard about the Ethiopia thing at all, if Jason made a full recovery, considering how little communication was passing between him and Bruce at that point. Dick’s level of Batcomputer access only stated Jason as ‘location unknown’ when he was dead, so.

He and Jason got along fine, regardless of retcons since then, but he was under a lot of stress from a lot of sources, and the feeling that he couldn’t go home even when he really needed to, because he’d been replaced, was very present. That might well have blown up at some point.

I tend to think of Bruce as having changed pretty dramatically as a result of Jason’s death, disregarding a lot of retcons, but I mean, 1987 Bruce already failed to notice Dick having a mental breakdown right in front of him and put him off in favor of hero work with Jason on Dick’s birthday, he just did it cheerfully and with fairly courteous wording. There was a trend in the faildad direction starting already.

There was a lot of relationship stuff in need of fixing and in some ways Jason’s presence made that as hard for Dick with Bruce as Damian’s later did for Tim, even though there was a lot less drama and intentional emotional violence and attempted murder involved. So. That could have gone a lot of ways. Realistically, even without Tim trying to play peacemaker, Dick always gets dragged back into Bruce’s orbit, though. That’s narrative causality at work, but also psychology.

In-universe, Tim can be assumed to have already existed before Wolfman invented him. He’s mostly away at boarding school, but he’s nosy and well-intentioned and he Knows. If Jason ran away more comprehensively than the Great Mom Tour, he might approach him with an argument for why Batman needed Robin and he should go home. Or there would eventually have been a case where he knew something they didn’t and attempted to subtly pass information and got noticed.

Or Oracle’s expanding field of awareness would have eventually noticed him and his zoom-lens one summer evening while his parents were in Haiti getting dead. Idk.

He’d probably have gotten mixed up in Bat-things eventually, and if it wasn’t before the Haiti thing there’s no way Batman would have been invested enough in this random disappearance to be there in time to help, so he’d have been completely orphaned at 13. Bruce taking him in is reasonably likely, since he wasn’t exactly in a position to create himself a fake uncle at the time. On the other hand, he might have gone into foster care. His parent’s company still would have crashed without them, so he wouldn’t have inherited much, but he’d have been better off than most kids in the system because he’d have some assets.

Steph is even more guaranteed to hit the vigilante scene. Bruce would be a lot friendlier to her without Jason death issues for her to trigger, though that doesn’t mean he’d actually be friendly, and Jason would like her, and possibly communicate more effectively than Tim did about how she could not die, or possibly they’d have egged each other on into steadily more unwise behavior.

On the other hand, depending on where Jason’s character development went after surviving Ethiopia, he might at 17 find 15-year-old Steph indescribably annoying precisely because they have so much in common, and lash out at her as a proxy for his younger self, and be kind of awful.

Cataclysm breaks causality to even acknowledge anymore because they rushed on from it like massive chumps, but Jason would have been a good Robin to have for it. He’d have been pretty tall by then, and he’s got the mental tools for surviving in an unfriendly urban environment where money is useless. I think he and Cass would have gotten on well, they have compatible personalities. The only major issue I can see is if Bruce or Babs got really positive about her and triggered some kind of jealousy or possessiveness issue.

We don’t really have any specific data at all from before Jason died about how he would cope with a rival for something he felt entitled to but insecure about--he deferred very nicely to Dick as his elder, but Dick wasn’t actually a threat to anything Jason valued. Assuming later canon is applicable, jealousy would be a definite issue with any additional family members, though I assume without the risk of homicide.

Okay here is an after-midnight hour of my half-baked opinions. You asked for it! ;DDD

[bmj-art]

3a for rose (the insane expression meme e;)

Mara I love you so much, thank you!!!💛💛💛

Also forgive the delay- it has been crazy since my last art post.I would love to get more of these, because they’re so motivating!

[lily-liegh]

playmaker, op, boy, girl, relationship, and ace for the vrains ask meme!

Playmaker - Do you like Yuusaku as the main protagonist, or do you think he’s too stoic/different from the friendship loving predecessors?

love Yuusaku as the main protagonist! tbh, i really like what each protagonist brings to the table, and so i really appreciate a calmer protagonist who isn’t out to make friends with everyone. Yuusaku cares about others, and at the end of the day i’d say he’s still spouting some of YGO’s Friendship Speeches, but he’s much more about ensuring a world where everyone can co-exist together than a place where everyone has to “be friends” and i think that’s a pretty good message to share with young children ^^ not everyone will be your friend, but you need to do your part to make the world a happy place for everyone <3

OP - Favorite opening

Go Forward all the way! >w< it’s such a jam and i listen to it every day!

Boy - Favorite male character

i really love Yuusaku - his smile gives me so much life, and i like his calmer disposition! at the same time, he can become quite passionate during a duel and he’s not afraid to fight for what he believes in. all around, i really love his character (and his design too!)

Girl - Favorite female character

Ema! her voice, her character design, her deck - all of it vibes well with me! i’m a little sad she’s never won a duel, but that’s not enough for me to really dislike her character. i’m quite happy with her role in the series, just give her a win please! :3

Relationship - Favorite relationship, platonic or romantic (specify)

i’ve got two asks in my box for this one, so i’ll just say platonic and go with Ryouken/Spectre - i can see it romantically, but i really prefer it as a platonic ship. as the ship name states, i love the respect between them: they’re terrorist hackers, but between each other there’s a strong understand of each other’s values and wishes, and it makes both their relationship and the Hanois in general a stronger team. also aesthetically, two white-haired characters looks nice - and i like that they sort of complement each other while also retaining their personal quirks ^^

Ace - Favortie ace monster of a character

Ema’s Altergeist Primebanshee - i have no clue how good it is in a match, but i love Ema’s deck and play style, and her duels are fun, and this card kicks ass (how does she lose with it then?!)

thank you so much for the ask, kuppa! <33

[whipplefilter]

hey i love your cars 3 fanfics and general characterization of jackson storm!

Thank you so much! That makes me really happy. :) He’s a pleasure to write. There’s so much to explore! I love his combination of like... “this is the smartest, savviest, meanest car” but also “this is the most dopey pathetic car.” XDD

I really appreciate your reading! And thanks again for this kind note! :DD

[screamting]

tim drake for the super cool headcanon meme?

:0!!! I didn’t think anymore would be sent in since it’s been a bit

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

this was actually the hardest question here since I can definitely tell you when a song plays what he’d like, but finding one on my own??

he probably likes Ke$ha a lot

the one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to

where doesn’t he fall asleep? Though there are some notable incidents, such as when Bruce and Alfred found him asleep in an unplugged fridge (DANGEROUS)

he said he was curious if he could do the indiana jones thing and then the fridge was surprisingly comfy and the sounds from outside were like nice and muted, you know?

he got a very stern talking to, because what if he’d run out of air???

Tim, a young robin at the time, hadn’t even thought of that, and was suddenly really horrified

the game they’d destroy everyone else at

GTA and Assassin’s Creed

the emoticon they’d use most often

he doesn’t use emoticons, he sends screenshots from The Emoji Movie

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

....He sort of stumbles around in a daze most of the time, and complains about how shitty he feels, but... he doesn’t realize... he feels shitty because he hasn’t slept in 12 hours..... “but you guys stay up for 12 hours” “no we don’t tim we’ve already gone to bed and woken up again” “what?? ....that can’t be right....”

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights. or mornings. or whenever.

Like everyone in the fam he’s pretty into hot cocoa, but how cocoa with coffee in it (or hot coffee with chocolate in it) is his absolute favorite thing

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

when he’s effectively comforting/caring for himself, he takes a break, hangs out in the house, and reads a little fiction for a bit. His non-effective care strategies usually involve eating/fasting and spending way too much time on the computer

what they wanted to be when they grew up

doctor!! surgeon!!! yeah!!!

their favorite kind of weather

he really likes bright, sunny days that aren’t too hot, but rainy cloudy days that are a little chilly are the best for reading books

thoughts on their singing voice (decent? terrible? soprano? alto?)

he’s a soprano and spends his years well into his early twenties telling people he just has to wait for his voice to change (it finished changing years ago)

how/what they like to draw or doodle

he’s at that stage right before an anime artist gets good, but they think they’ve unlocked godtier art style and should replace comic book artists because they’re doing soooo much better, see!!! (big eyes, REALLY wide face trying to subvert the ‘same face’ stereotype, and way too impractical clothes because they look ‘cool’)

He probably shows them off to Kon and his teammates a lot

[whothefuckistimdrake]

hey would you mind if other people joined you in making blogs about who the heck x character is? like same format with counters?

Of course I wouldn’t mind! If anything it’s great for people to sit down and read a lot of consecutive canon material (and then distribute canon findings). This fandom has a lot of issues with fanon bleeding into where it shouldn’t, so by all means go for it.
