Do you ever forget that people actually feel the way books describe romantic love? Like those aren't made up feelings? Because me too

I couldn’t resist the idea

This lineart already took WAY too long to sketch & draw so my pitiful attempt at full color quickly pivoted to this. Inspired by a comic from Nan Hao & Shang Feng. Really recommend this silly manhua if you want an easy afternoon read.

Damian, curled up in the library, reading a book he found that's been thoroughly annotated by someone. It's full of post-its. The person didn't write directly on the pages.

He can't quite figure out who did this. No one in the manor really fits the profile. The remarks are detailed, passionate almost. And the book's a romance novel of all things.

He reads through it while enjoying the commentary left by the mystery person. He blue screens for a second when he finds it signed at the end.

Jason Todd Wayne.

Can someone genuinely answer this ever lingering question as to why DC has such beef with Jason Todd?

They butcher his character and relationships, and for what? There’s so much fucking POTENTIAL not only with his character but with his story! There’s a way to actually write discourse in a relationship without making it so damn abusive. Maybe I’m missing something in the story or just in general, but it’s just so fucking irritating when it could be good.

You have a nice, good boy who only wants to help despite given the short hand in life who is then given a loving father who just so happens to be Batman. That boy is then murdered by Batman’s biggest enemy (don’t even get me started on the fucking Joker who essentially has become idolized in the worst ways by DC writers and directors) still trying to do the right thing despite being fucked over by the very person he so desperately wanted love from. Then, you have that same boy who’s just a little bit older, hurting and angry— acting out in every way he can against the man who loves him but couldn’t see past his own weaknesses. And what do DC writers do instead of making this complicated, intriguing and character growing relationship into something that’s not as fucking dumb and slightly out of character for Batman? They fuck him up.

It’s an extreme to say this, I know. And this isn’t against all DC writers, but you can’t deny a lie when it’s a pattern. It’s a cut and dry story that practically writes itself. You have a little boy who is so full of hope is growing along with the main character of the story (which, in my own personal opinion, Batman has Robin not as a soldiers—and omfg does that damn phrase make me violent—but as a potential, mutual factor of character growth) , who then gets a bit too cocky and distracted by his own hubris and need for love, to a hurt antagonist that goes against the man who he once called father. Like it’s too easy to not fuck this up, and yet DC seems to manages to do this every single time.

It’s almost like they want to portray Batman and Bruce Wayne as a man who is made “tougher” by his trauma (which has some patriarchal undertones if you catch my drift) instead of growing. Batman can grow. He can love. There’s one post that I’ve seen on Tumblr how Batman/Bruce does this whole vigilante thing out of love.

Which is why I don’t get why DC uses Bruce as a tool to hurt Jason when it isn’t really consistent. He loved Jason, and this is backed up by a lot of older and a few current issues. Don’t get me wrong, I get that their relationship post-UTRH is gonna be FUCKED. Yet, even the writing in that I can’t really agree with. KILLING (attempting to kill really) your son who had been dead for years, that you loved so much, and is acting out because YOU? Doesn’t make much sense, but, again, maybe I’m looking at this through a foggy lens.

This wasn’t meant to be a long post, but it’s just been on my mind and perhaps I could use another perspective. So, again, what’s DC’s deal with Jason and Bruce’s relationship, and Jason’s character as a whole?

Ngl, I do love me a feral/enraged Dick Grayson <3

i think the reason why i’m not a huge fan of most soulmate aus (especially the ones where a character’s soulmate is marked) is the idea of compulsory relationships. of love unfounded in its growth, of love chosen not by lovers but by something else entirely. i love love that is purposeful. love that is essentially [ON PURPOSE, ON PURPOSE I AM GOING TO CARE ABOUT YOU] [of course i wonder if they love me back, which is, really, besides the point. i don’t do it to be adored, i do it because my love keeps getting bigger and that’s what happens] [just let me have that. you can have bill, or the world, or whatever you need. just let me have that, let me go on loving you, and i guess it’ll be enough] [i love everybody because i love you] but also [the idea of love as a violent act—not to the person that you love, but against the world. to say to somebody, ‘I love you; by extension, i hate all other things] [if soulmates do exist, they’re not found. they’re made] [i’d choose you; in a hundred different lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, i’d find you and i’d choose you] and lingering touches and half-formed hopes and unknowns and a love that grows not one that is just there. love that is content with just being. love that is a big ‘fuck you’ to the universe because it says ‘you could’ve killed me but you didn’t and i could’ve starved myself from this but i didn’t and i could’ve broken but i didn’t and i’m here and i think this person is everything and they think i’m everything and it hurts so much to think about how much i care for them but i couldn’t care less. i’m going to be gentle in the face of horrors, i’m going to be gentle in loving them not because you told me to but because i chose to.’
