Jason Todd adoring strong women who share a name with the greek/roman goddess of hunt (Artemis/Diana).
so do you think that if jay was in ancient greece (i’d add roman empire as well, but greek mythology should stay greek, wtf), he’d be patronized by artemis? he obviously would worship her, there’s no question to that.
considering that she was a goddess of, besides hunt, transition, and care of children, all of which fit jason perfectly. especially considering how much she cares for women and children, which is precisely jason’s priority. and to top it off, it would be pretty much in line with greek mythology “tropes”: a strong goddess patronizes a man who does what she values, and artemis’ values were quite unusual for ancient greece. just like imagine her being utterly shocked that a man, respects???? and protects????? women?????? and then she oversteps her fair prejudices, and gives him her blessing.
and aND AND
HEAR ME OUT!!!!
dick getting blessing from apollo. because, first of all, and let’s be so honest here, his name. already enough of an argument i fear. but also beauty, and youth, and the performance 🤌🤌🤌 moreover, i feel like apollo would find it so fun to patronize a brother of his sister’s protege who also happens to be interesting enough to follow and observe. and the sibling drama there - peak, so fun to watch.
i can also see artemis being constantly unpleased with the way jason’s family situation unfolds, emphasizing with him, while apollo is having fun.
extra point if both twins decided to patronize batboys because of how tough for them their mothers’ deaths were.
after initially creating all of these for jason, i got a consultation from the dick-grayson-sage @gaywineauntsstuff who mentioned donna, and i hate to say it but…
DONNA FITS THE ARTEMIS THING SO MUCH, I NEED IT RN, AND ALL OF THESE BUT ARTEMIS PATRONIZING DONNA AND APOLLO PATRONIZING DICK - PEAK SIBLINGISM. I NEED IT RIGHT THIS MOMENT IN FRONT OF ME. SHE’D BE SUCH A BADASS PATRONIZED BY A BADASS, THEY’D BE UNSTOPPABLE.
jason version, don’t get me wrong, i still love you, but i also love donna troy, and i respect artemis’ overall decision to not get involved with men 🙏 plus jay already has his own artemis at home
Everyone SHUT UP and look at how little Jason was when he was robin
I’ve been reading 1940s Batman and Detective Comics which makes panels like these
So funny, because for awhile 8 year old Dick Grayson was driving more frequently than Bruce.
Bruce even bought Dick a mini Batplane for his 8th birthday.
I just love the idea that instead of a difference in time and social norms it was young freshly Batman Bruce not having a single idea how to parent vs old father of 5-10 kids Bruce finally having figured it out.
Remember that Jason is a ginger and speak spanish fluently?
While yes, canonically, Jason is a ginger in the original comics, I absolutely hate that fact and just choose to ignore it simply because of the reasoning behind why he dyes his hair.
Bruce is in no way an ideal father figure, but the thought that he found this kid, brought him home, and had him dye his hair just to look more like Dick did as Robin.....that's a little too far for me. Besides, I think they kind of retconned this with the New 52 and Rebirth.
As to the language thing, I think he speaks a few languages besides just English and Spanish fluently, but I am not sure which ones for sure. I think German and Italian?
You know that feeling of terror when you get caught stealing Batman’s tires?
Me neither
honestly one of the main reasons I like dc is that they can’t keep a storyline straight for shit. anything I don’t like is just *not real*. that’s different storyline babes what are you talking about???
like at this point I can consider shit like wfa and hell even well written fanfics as canon bc who knows what’s going on with those funky little people?? certainly not the dc writers
I think a lot abt how ram wrote talia talking about how she was going to help bruce get back to himself. such an important part of brutalia’s dynamic is that talia has always understood that being batman will always come first &, crucially, she wouldn’t have it any other way.
it’s a big reason why I like brutalia so much; when it’s written correctly, everything abt bruce is accepted & loved & adored — & for talia to be able to do all of those things, she knows she also has to let him go… trapped in this eternal cycle of loving bruce at his truest form, when he’s doing what makes him happy, adhering to his sacred vow; while knowing that that stops them from being together, but that she wouldn’t ever want him to change for her… poetry
I stand by my canceled wife (complex fictional female character who is treated like shit by the fandom)
AGAIN???? 😭
Bruce is going about his business one day when he realizes Tim has gone missing. Nothing suspicious has happened, so he consults the others to see where he might have gone.
i see you ‘Battinson adopts a Sunshine Child’ and raise you ‘Battinson adopts a child who’s just as much of a traumatised emo drama queen as him but also like 9′
