every time i see a post that only references a character named tim i need to do a massive double take to figure out if it’s tim drake or tim stoker
making it so that tim is in jason’s shadow in any major way is a disservice to both of their characters
“not all men” you’re right, Horatio would never
having anti punitive justice morals sucks because you want to say "man that guy sucks he should get hit with hammers until he dies" but you also want to make it clear you don't think anyone should be put in charge of the 'hit people with hammers until they die" machine.
This is your canon reminder for the day that Dick is a nerdy li’l Shakespeare buff. <3

“Well I’ve walked on water, danced through fire
Can’t seem to take it anymore
It was me, more for me, waiting for me this time
Hoping for something more, hoping for something else
Hoping for something kind, hoping for something more
Waiting for me this time”
the fact that these were changed lyrics of new dawn fades in their last concert haunts me
lost days jason is just so good. I love him. He tries to be badass and cool and full of revenge and he just can’t. He keeps going on sidequests to help innocent people and kids. He’s like “talia I wanna kill the joker and Batman” and she’s like “of course, here’s a lot of money” and he comes back to have tea with her and bitch about the joker and Batman and also tell her about how he saved London from getting blown up. like obviously he got his stuff together by the time utrh rolls around (sorta), but man, lost days was a hard time for a very compassionate man trying to be ruthless
I know I take Jason too seriously but there is just something about like. Being the ultimate image of a voiceless victim: a murdered child. Being something that everyone in the family was able to project their tragedy and beliefs onto, a glass case mirroring their thoughts.
And then to come back, furious and sharp and nothing like the silent grave. To have a voice again and be screaming.
lost days jason being picked up by the scruff of his neck after batman accidentally catches him planting the bomb on the batmobile. jason immediately goes to attack but because he’s not trained to kill as well as he is later on he’s disarmed quite easily. jason looking so young, not having killed anyone yet, and not being in control of the situation through careful planning meaning bruce is more likely to accept him but jason’s emotions are completely raw to where his actions are just fully calculated fury and hurt. also this is before wargames and stephanie’s death so that would make bruce have less emotionally vulnerable because his lack of fresh grief and guilt.
