‘redditors Need To Know This’, ‘twitterinas Need To Know That’… No. You Need To Know One Thing

I don't know who needs to hear this

But if you go into the comments section on AO3

And type

Then replace image url (keep the " marks) with the url of a picture

You can leave fan art in the comments of a fic

sorry but. jason was, in the end, just another unlucky person that died at the joker’s hands. we can talk about how his last moments were heroic (throwing himself at the bomb to protect sheila) or about how his search for love was what got him killed (bruce’s perceived rejection pushing him to go looking for sheila in the first place), but it doesn’t change that his death wasn’t something epic. it didn’t matter.

[grabs your shoulders and shakes you] something being widely accepted fanon does not actually make it "basically canon" and it doesn't mean people who don't incorporate it into their fics or acknowledge it are doing something wrong

"you are addicted to screens" no no you see i am actually addicted to my friends. unfortunately they live in there

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

what if instead of “what if jason came back to life and was normal” we started contemplating “what if jason came back to life and all his grievances were accurately addressed and validated”

I’m sick of people making it out to be that jason’s circumstances only came about due to his time with talia when its not true!! its not true and its doing a disservice to jason as a character and all of the in universe victims that went through the same trauma as him

you surely couldn’t expect him to be happy that the joker, his murderer, was still alive? not even securely jailed! no, this man comes back out routinely to do the same thing that happened to jason to others.

you surely couldn’t expect him to be happy that someone else was in the role that delivered him his death sentence? surely bruce is able to be a grown adult who didn’t need to rely on children as crutches so he could fight the fight he chose to be in! you surely couldn’t tell me that the way gotham is operating right now actually works! surely not! there’s no reason for jason to be angry as if his memory and legacy wasn’t desecrated and used as a lesson by his own father the moment they buried him 6ft under. SURELY he couldn’t still be angry that it took him dying for people to realize they treated him so fucking poorly

what if jason was allowed to be selfish? what if jason was allowed to not forgive someone, or just, anyone?

but no, no you’re right. its talia and her weird magic anger inducing green pit of nasty water

Reblog to pin him to your blog

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

My biggest reason for not wanting to canon to ever change Jason clawing his way out of his own grave is, aside from the sheer horror of it, it's so important to me that Jason's resurrection be seemingly pointless.

Because then "why can't Jason move on now" is answered with "because he wasn't supposed to have this chance and he knows it". It's like survivors guilt, where you are both the victim and the survivor. He shouldn't know why he's alive again, he should just know that if it weren't for some cosmic mystery, he would still be 6 feet underground while his killer ran free and his family told themselves morals about his death while he was voiceless - helpless to have a say in his own narrative.

My ideal Jason isn't necessarily a Jason's who's right, but a Jason who raises necessary questions. Jason as a constant scream of the forgotten victims of rogues, of those who are failed by every sytem, and responding with a desire for blood and vengeance and a brutal justice. Jason haunting the city.
