Batman #410
Happy Birthday to Jason Todd, reposting the greatest sequence in all of comic history.
Tells two face to kidnap him for being the second Robin, getting asked if he likes the car and he hates his car, the absolute nothing expression with a gun to his face, his sweetieful smile before he slams on breaks. Jumping out, landing, and then immediately hating Batman's car too. Nothing beats this it makes me giggle so much every time
Happy birthday Jason Todd!! I was staring at that Jorge Jiménez drawing for ages trying to ref the lighting 😭
it’s so funny when people online act like women reading trashy romance novels is like. a new phenomenon and a sign of the downfall of society bc this has never been a thing before. this has been an extremely popular genre of book for ages. the only difference now is that they’re written by women who wanted to fuck kylo ren. which i guess is annoying. out of every man in star wars like be so serious. they had harrison ford in those movies
Saying Jason's plan and actions in UTRH were just pit madness is very reductive. He worked hard on those plans, he put a lot of effort into them. Everyone acknowledge how hard he worked.
I present to you again, a little guy
Ppl writing about uth need to realise that Jason wasn't scared about Bruce finding out he was alive, in fact, he wanted Bruce to know he was alive. Jason literally goes around giving hints about his identity. In the comics he literally takes his helmet off (voluntarily) and gives Bruce fingerprints and his blood to prove it was him. Stop making Jason scared about Bruce finding out please. That boy was desperate to be known
No I’m not attracted to you. Quit your evil putting your finger under my chin to make me look up at you. I know I’m your nemesis and all but we really need to set some boundaries when you’ve got me tied up like this.
No look I get it. You’ve got your evil plan, you’ve gotta get me out of the way but you also want to see me suffer as I watch the world burn, I know. But like, I’m not into this. Sexually or otherwise. Wait, you thought I was doing this because I liked you? I’m trying to stop you from using a death laser. No I don’t think death lasers are sexy what on earth are you talking about
Wait. That’s why you dress like that? I thought that armor was impractical. No I don’t find our relationship to be homoerotic I find it to be tedious. Look, man. We all keep trying to get you into therapy. No I’m not kink shaming you I’m saying you’ve completely misinterpreted this relationship. I actually do think you should answer for your war crimes. Yes, really. No you’re the one not listening to me in this situation. Yes that is the alarm the others will have cut all your wires and called in the fbi by now.
What do you mean you thought we had something special? I have other enemies. You’re not the only one. No I’m not doing kinky things with them either I blow up their nefarious devices. Speaking of which, you might want to move like… ten feet to your right.
No, enemies to enemies. And then still enemies.
Cannot stress enough how lovers will never be part of this equation even a little bit
The henchmen in the tags who have been assuring the villain since the beginning that “of course he likes you back, why else would he keep coming to destroy your death lasers”
The henchmen have been reading too many romance novels.
Awfully defensive are we? I think the henchmen are onto something.
You know I didn’t intend for this character I made up to be aromantic but this whole post has turned into being arospec at a family reunion simulator
bad jason comic: i feel NOTHING but rage, i have to kill EVERY wrongdoer like that guy who just jaywalked, maybe next ill announce again how i got myself KILLED and how EVERYTHING since has been entirely absolutely 100% my fault
good jason comic: this wasnt the original plan but itd be really funny if this worked anyways yall wanna see me do a flip
Do it scared but please don't do it hungry. Please don't do it dehydrated. It's gonna make it so much scarier. Please.
I’ve been trying to put my finger on why Hades being depicted as a villain is so annoying in other media but works so well in Hadestown, and I think I’ve figured out why: Hadestown Hades isn’t the bad guy because he’s the god of the DEAD; instead, he’s the bad guy because he’s the god of WEALTH. Usually, whenever Hades appears in a movie or video game, he has some stupid motivation like “ughh I’m tired of being lord of the underworld I wanna be lord of everything” or “I’m the Greek mythology version of the western concept of Satan, fear me!!” but Hadestown really said screw that and made his motivation “I love my wife so much but we have a shitty marriage arrangement and her long absence combined with my severe self-doubt has lead me down the hellish road to corruption by all the riches under the ground.”
#okay but you could argue! that in hadestown specifically#hades being the god of wealth and the god of death are both part of him being a capitalist#unsafe practices and hazardous materials kill or disable a LOT of construction workers#labour laws are written in blood#and it’s impossible to get filthy rich like that without exploiting other human beings
Sorry @exeiguess but your tags passed peer review. This is it exactly. The two are intertwined especially when it comes to discussions of labor and worker’s rights and exploitation, and THAT’S part of what makes him work so perfectly as the antagonist in Hadestown.
a bruce from an alternate timeline who may just be batshit crazy enough about his jason (who never came back to life) to be willing to sacrifice everyone so jason never dies in the first place. does he understand that changing the past would mean tim, the ones who came after, the entire life he's built over the years, could never be part of him if he chooses to save jason's life? yes he absolutely does and no he's not changing his mind
he'll give up everything if it means he can hear his little boy laugh again, see his sweet smile stretched across his precious face once more. he'll give up the cowl in a heartbeat if it means he gets to listen to the sound of tiny footsteps eagerly running downstairs for breakfast or the sound of him enthusiastically reading a book aloud. if he can hold his boy in his arms again, he'll sacrifice everything.
other versions of the bats from different universes look at him like he's crazy because how could you? you're willing to lose the family you've built for one person? the other bruces don't say anything even though they should-- even though they should be the ones to tell him that he'll get through this because they once lost their jason too. they keep quiet because secretly, if they were given the choice too, they don't think they'd reject it very quickly.
Jason enjoys being Robin, don’t get him wrong—but sometimes it’s stressful. He didn’t exactly come into Bruce Wayne’s life wanting to be a vigilante. Anyway, he enjoys it but sometimes he likes to swing up high and hide beneath his favorite gargoyle and smoke. This is where he meets the guy in a red helmet.
He doesn’t…set off any alarms in Jason’s head. If anything, startlingly enough, his presence makes him feel safe? Jason doesn’t even know how he got up to his secret spot, and the guy doesn’t offer any answer. They don’t say anything to each other. The guy just…offers him a cigarette. So they sit there together, legs swinging over the side of the building, smoking. The guy’s helmet doesn’t fully come off, just enough to reveal his mouth. He’s got the same jawline as Willis.
Jason leaves before red helmet guy.
He ends up back there maybe a week later. Red helmet is there. Again they sit and smoke, no words exchanged. This repeats for a while.
One day, “Red”, as Jason has begun calling him in his head, has a book. Jason’s never heard of it before, but it seems up his alley. Red gives it to him. It’s annotated to hell and back. Jason adds his own notes, he keeps the book next to his bedside.
This goes on for a while. Red bringing books Jason’s never heard of. Jason keeps some, then gives some back so they can swap notes on whatever story of the week it was. They don’t speak, only pass notes.
After a particularly rough argument with Bruce, Jason flees to the hidden spot. Red is already there with chili dogs. Jason doesn’t know how he does it, but he thinks Red knows him better than he knows himself sometimes. Some part of him wonders if Red is supposed to be some guardian angel. Some part wonders if he’s even real at all. He doesn’t really know, but cant bring himself to look too hard into it. Perhaps it’s fear of an illusion shattering, perhaps it’s the fact his little silent hangouts have him feeling like he can breathe after being submerged for so long.
Red gives him brass knuckles and a far more intensive medkit than anything he’s seen carried in the cave. Red also gives him warm gloves that are Catherine’s favorite color, and occasionally the cheap candy Willis used to bring him before money got tight.
Jason gets hurt pretty badly sometimes and can’t make it to their little hideout. He feels oddly young when he finds out those who hurt him end up in custody in similar conditions. It’s odd to feel protected by someone whose face he hasn’t seen. Still, it makes him feel warm in a way he hasn’t felt in a while. He loves Bruce, he does, but Bruce isn’t alley-bred. Jason knows Red is alley-bred. It’s just an instinct those from it have, the ability to sense one another. Bruce can act as Batman, but rarely does the lashing out when Robin is hurt feel like it’s for Jason. Red acts like Willis did once, lashing out to protect Jason, for Jason.
Jason can’t help but sometimes get the sinking feeling that Red would go to lengths that Bruce wouldn’t if it came down to it to it. He doesn’t know how to feel about that. He doesn’t necessarily like to think about it, the guilt and dread sit heavy in his stomach.
Some days Jason feels older than he is, and it makes his body ache. The responsibility of Robin, of being tied to a socialite, of not being fully understood it weighs heavy. On those days he thinks he resents Bruce and Alfred a little. He isn’t sure.
He doesn’t have to say it, say how exhausted he is, maybe it shows on his face. Each time, without fail, Red tucks him into his side and he feels like he’s huddled under Willis’s arm again. He feels like a kid, and takes deep breaths to keep his eyes from spilling when Red gently rubs the back of his neck like Catherine would.
He doesn’t really know what Red is. If he’s related to him somehow. If he was sent by the universe or maybe his parents from beyond the veil. If he’s human, fae, angel, demon—in the end it doesn’t matter. What matters is that Jason knows Red loves him, and he’s pretty sure he loves Red too.
"you people can't do anything" and you people throw a tantrum when you're asked to adjust your behaviours even the slightest for disabled people. now what. you can't do shit to be a decent person either i HATE this phrase so much
Well now I can correctly moonwalk away from uncomfortable situations
Because everyone deserves to know how to do a mean moonwalk.
guYS THIS IS IMPORTANT
I definitely reblogged this sitting down not getting up to do the moonwalk at all
Being a young adult is so strange. You enter a coffee shop. The 20 year old girl waiting behind you cried all night because she just came to a new city for university and she feels so alone. That 27 year old guy over there works a job he is overqualified for, he lives with his parents and wants to move out but doesn't know what to do about it. That one 24 year old dude already has a car, a house, and a job waiting for him once he graduates thanks to his dad's connections. The 26 year old barista couldn't complete his higher education because he has to work and take care of his family. The 28 year old girl sitting next to you has no friends to go out with so she is texting her mother. That couple (both 25 years old) are married and the girl is pregnant. The 29 year old writing something on her laptop has realized that she chose the wrong major so she is trying to start all over. We are not alone in this, but we are actually so alone. Do you feel me
Don't leave this in the tags.
And on yesterday’s topic of personal grooming, at the risk of sounding like a looksmaxxer, you really do feel better when you feel like you look better. Putting the slightest bit of effort into your appearance can do wonders for your mental health. There is a reason every single culture on earth has grooming and styling standards and cultural forms of personal adornment and (often) bodily modification. I’m autistic and chronically ill and depressed and it is something I’ve experienced first hand. Not having the strength or desire to put effort into my appearance is demoralizing and then I’ll get dressed and style my hair and put on jewelry and a little glam rock makeup and realize it does make me feel better. These are things in my control, my appearance, things that I can change and tweak to make me feel better about myself even when the changes run counter to societal expectations and trends. There are a lot of men who feel like they are ugly (or have a sense of toxic masculinity that makes them feel like they shouldn’t groom themselves because it is somehow only for women) who would feel better if they just got a haircut and a new shirt. Not only is practicing basic hygiene when going out in public and dressing appropriately for events common courtesy but it does make you feel better about yourself. Get that haircut, get that tattoo, get that piercing, wear something weird.
