Is this a safe space?

I hate red-haired Jason.... First his pre-crisis Jason was more of a blond. And having reread Hush I can't help but think they made him redhead because Thomas Elliot was. And the thing about Bruce having him dye his hair was just weird. Yeah he dyed it pre-crisis but that's because he was trying to fight into being Robin for Bruce because he thought Bruce need him (Sound familiar?)

Story wise? Jason is suppose to be a disruption. He is supposed to be a challenge to Bruce's morals. And yeah making him a red head can make him more distinctive for this, but making look the most like Bruce adds a deeper layer of reflection. It's a visual reminder that Jason is Bruce's son, the son he lost and failed. The one now treading a dark path Bruce never wanted for him and the path he fears himself falling onto. It's emphases not only their parallels but the differences. Of all the batkids Jason has the most thematic reasons to be dark hair and blue eyes.

I think I need to drop everything and be delusional for a bit.

I swear to FUCKING GOD

If the Robin & Batman: Jason Todd is just more of Bruce being a asshole to child who's suffer horrific poverty and Jason gets called fucking angry and reckless again, I will bit some one's head off. How about WE NOT demonize the impoverished child? How about that DC? How about we NOT play into the inherent classism that's in Jason Todd's Robin story. How about we recognize Bruce is a horribly unreliable narrator when It comes to Jason. And how he will genuinely never be able to understand Jason's Trauma because he has never and like will never be homeless.

Like I'm not suggesting the trauma Olympics over here but Jason's trauma is very different to Dick and Bruce's. Yeah he could get his revenge against Two-Face for his father... But Jason wasn't thinking about that when he became Robin... He was thinking about surviving. It's not a core of his character like Dick and Bruce. He joins Bruce because despite how bad his situation is he still tries to do good and not rob a museum. IDK man I'm very tired of writers just glossing over that with Jason and just jump to like those two issues where Jason is violent. And then every stupid flash back of Bruce's where again UNRELIABLE NARRATOR.

I will happily take the L if I'm just getting a huff over nothing. And this mini turns out good. But with that description I just can't get hyped. I'm pre-ordering still... but with like a sense of dread.

My Brain is working right now because while I've been thinking about Eddie and Jason again. I'm thinking about a Fic Idea where they possible team up and do a demon hunting business.

Like it's got me interested enough I think I'm gonna go back and read Eddie's catalog.

Also Something we talk about it how Roy died in Heros in Crisis but we don't talk about how EDDIE DID TOO. Like imagine if they kept their friendship and in one day Jason lost two of his friends.

To no one's suprised I've been playing DC Dark Legion. Again to no one's suprise im mostly playing it for Jason. And God hes any edgy stupid little shit in this, but I love him. Even if his "I feel revived" lines gets real old real fast.

(Also little funny how he get the League of assassins bonus but Damian doesn't.)

So I got the new issue of the Zatanna Mini and with Blue Devil in it we need to bring back Eddie Bloomberg. And we need to bring back Jason and Eddie pen pals.

Like I like Roy and Jason's friendship (As tainted as it is by New 52) BUT come ON! Give me these stupid little nerds back.

And this is sort of an excuses to tie Jason more to Justice league Dark? MAYBE. It is an excuses to get him to use the All Blades more? MAYBE

What the fuck was Batman odyssey

The thing I hate most about writing series is the obvious gaps where my writing skills have improved in between fics. Like I'll be able to re-read the newer one but the older one make me cringe a little lmao.

Maybe I am just pessimistic. I have seen the Nguyen art for Jaybin but I'm still not convinced man. It's been like year... and the last news in Jan said possible lunching in April and it's March.... Maybe it meant announcement in April?

And I get Jeff Lemire is doing Absolute Flash but IDK man...

Yeah, DCU updates but it on twitter. But I don't 100% trust all those source who just pull form an artist Instagram. And well It's twitter.

I am also worried because... Well they love that angry Robin narrative. I feel a little better with Lemire's writing but... It hasn't been a year since Robin Lives! I'm still recovering and I can't get my hopes up.

OK so when I said it this was gonna come out this week I did mean like earlier this week. But! it's here! I really hope you all enjoy it!

What a week man. Did four interviews (made it threw to the end of one and got reject) Had my first published work. Did my taxes. Cleaned. And most importantly finished the squeal to Kyle Rayner's Complete Guide to getting a Malewife

is this post just to tell you I finished the Kyle Rayner's Complete Guide to Domesticating a Crimelord? Yeah. Is it also bragging that I did my taxes like a goddamn adult? Also Yeah. Is it also also to complain about my job search? 100%

Honestly I didn't mean to make real ocs of the Jay Gatsby Fan club but now I got these little guy worming around in my brain.

So might as well give you more information

Apparently in my head being a fan of Jason improves your relationships

So I've seen posts about Absolute Batman meeting the main line bat family. But Imagine Absolute Superman and Wonder Woman meeting them.

I'm particularly thinking about Absolute Superman and Dick.

Then Absolute Wonder Woman and Jason.
