the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.
You know how ppl play drums on big dogs do you think they do that to Jason
I'm hoping this is about selkie!jason otherwise this art is very confusing
i suffer from 'men are hotter banged up' disease. unfortunately there is no cure.

Bruce never had to legally answer for anything regarding the sudden death of his ward because that what happen when you have no name or relatives to seize Justice for you. Bruce most likely lied about the causes of Jason's death to protect his secret identity and life. Joker killing Jason is only a fact know by our heroes. As far as Justice goes, Joker didn't kill Bruce's ward, so Jason or anyone couldn't bring Joker to court for this specific crime if they wanted. I repeat: there is no legal way for Jason to make Joker pays for his murder. Police or social services never investigated anything and only ever presented their apologies to Bruce Wayne. Bruce was allowed to mourn while never having to worry or be shunned for any of this. Bruce got off easy. If I'd were him, I'd felt way shittier about myself too...
i’m such a “i want your attention” but “won’t bother you” kinda person
suddenly struck with thoughts about the devastating concept of Jason Todd
because he was good. because he had a bleeding heart despite every reason not to. he loved school and was good at it. he was the first to be adopted, with little pretense of guardianship. he did everything he could to be a perfect Robin and live up to an impossible ideal. he only ever wanted Bruce and Dick to like him.
because he met Bruce in the same place and on the same day that Bruce's parents died--the single defining moment of Batman's existence. and he made Batman laugh. he hit the Dark Knight, Terror of Gotham, with a tire iron. he wasn't afraid of the man who turned fear into a weapon.
because he couldn't save his mother from herself, but he tried. because he was too good not to try and save the woman who gave him up. too good to play the Joker's game. the crowbar didn't kill him, the bomb did. he died knowing he wouldn't make it and tried anyway. he died a hero.
because other Robins have died, but none of them put an irrevocable tear in the mythos of Batman. because Jason Todd always dies, in every universe. he dies for the sins of his father. he was put to death by popular vote, sacrificed by the crowd. doomed by the narrative and doomed by the audience. the boy who only ever tried to prove he was good enough--wasn't good enough.
because he has every reason to be angry. because he didn't ask to be murdered, didn't ask to be brought back, and when he did everyone acted like he was better off dead. Bruce tried to kill him and nearly succeeded. he's blamed for his own death and blamed for his resurrection. he can never come home because the house is haunted by his own ghost.
because he's been the hero, the victim, and the villain. because his family and his writers and his universe don't know what to make of him. they don't know how to look his tragedy in the eye. and how can you?
it hurts to look at the hero who cannot be good enough, the victim who will only ever be angry, the villain who can sometimes be right. the audience hates to feel complicit and, in this exceptional case, they are.

jason, coming back from the dead and seeing tim as robin: how could bruce replace me? how could he give robin to someone else?
dick, who created robin in honor of his dead parents and then had bruce take it away and give it to jason without even asking him:
