Tim: Damn, you scared me to death.
Jason: Really? I didn't know dead people could talk.
Tim: Yeah well you seem to be talking just fine.
Jason: I- hm..

Reblog to headbonk your mutuals like a cat full of love
seeing posts about batfamily characterization and why one way is wrong or another is and im just like. can we just say we have favorites? bc most of these guys are built from decades of different writers and different ways of existing so fucking obviously theres gonna be different versions of the same character.
"bruce is a bad father" yes he is he found out red hood was jason and tried to lock him up, he made dick fake his death, he was neglectful of tim
"bruce is a good father" yes he is he gives jason chance after chance, he hugs dick when hes overwhelmed, he took tim in as his own
"jason hates tim" "tim hates damian" "dick is a bad sibling" yeah but also no, depends on what youre reading and what you want to see
the thing is with old ass characters and so many series and universes you arent going to be able to get one solid version of any of them. canon accurate characterization with comics is mostly what you make of it so can we all chill the fuck out about whos an asshole and who isnt bc i promise you at some point both have been true
im not saying that you cant be upset at the characterization, personally dicks gets on my nerves sometimes, but i am saying that ive seen 6 posts that all start the same way and make good points but they all contradict themselves. have your opinions but stop saying that yours is right and true when it is not the only true.
What do you mean that's your comfort character? They need a bar of soap and a hug.
I love the posts that are like "Well this is very clearly the canon but y'all are So Desperate to ignore canon and warp it to whatever fantasy you have for these characters." Like yeah. That's what fandom is. That's what most fan-fiction is built around. The DC fandom specifically is basically built on picking and choosing which comics you personally feel in your heart are canon. That's the fun of it. "Y'all love to ignore some things just to make your character dynamics work." Yes. Yeah that's the point. Correct.
im cringe but im free

I started reading the Batman comics so I wouldn't feel like a poser when reading superbat fics, and I've discovered my favorite type of Batman. That being tendril-y shadow monster Batman
He's so cool looking, why does no one ever draw him like this???
dick: you can’t just do that, it’s illegal
jason: pft what are you, a cop?
dick: ……
jason: no…
dick: listen- jay it’s-
jason: NO
Okay but we can all agree (I think) that Dick would be Leo, Jason would be Raph and Tim would be Don, but who would be Mickey?? Like maybe Steph or Duke but idk
Dick: Man, I'm such a Leo.
Tim: You were born in December? You're a sagittarius.
Dick: The fuck is a saj of tarious? I'm talking about ninja turtles.
