hc that jason todd has an instagram/youtube/tiktok account called gatsbyreviews (named after jay gatsby) where he posts reviews of various fictional media (mostly books). thing is, he always gives the reviews in the tone of a pissed-off drill sergeant explaining something for the third time to a particularly bone-headed group of rookies. so even when the review is positive, he sounds like he's passionately defending it in court. he does all his videos in a hoodie and sunglasses, so his identity isn't clear (especially since any viewers who could have recognized him somehow would know he's, y'know, dead) but the visible scars on the lower half of his face are an endless source of intrigue to people in the comments. someone once asked how tall he was, and he responded with a video of him silently stacking up books until the pile matched his height, then standing next to the pile for several seconds before playing jenga with it and eventually knocking it over, as jenga usually ends up going. another youtuber uses the books to find jason's height (the guy in question is real, his name is shane fanx and he's known as the asian height guy) and when it's revealed that he's fucking 6'3 all his viewers start losing their minds. they talk more than ever about this massive, scarred man with the biteable thighs and passion for literature. he gains thousands of followers overnight, people are thirsting in his comments, and jason's just like "hey wtf have i gotten myself into"
on the bright side, he stops thinking he's the ugliest member of the family. after all, when hundreds or thousands of random people on the internet are thirsting over you without seeing your full face, it's hard to keep thinking you're hideous.
Happy month! Thereâs an oc in his gay panic moment where he realized heâs in love with his best friend
you know itâs always going to be funny that Duke seems to have unneeded beef with Jason, but if you think about it, it does kinda make sense. Jasonâs legally dead and pays his way through life via the income of a crime lord. Iâm pretty sure heâs the only batfamily member to not have a day life at all. Tim Dick and Bruce work, Damian has school, Steph has college, Cass is just sensible enough to have A Life outside of being a bat. Jason on the other hand literally has fuck all to do when he isnât out as Red Hood.
what Iâm saying is that thereâs no way he doesnât get bored during the day and decide to piss Signal the fuck off like, three times a week. Dukeâs beef with Jason isnât unwarranted, itâs just that nobodyâs around to witness the countless times that heâs been minding his own business trying to help out Gotham as Signal, only for this fucking skunk-headed legally dead mother fucker, to pop up FOR THE FOURTH TIME THAT DAY, just to make his life harder.
Jason: Signal
Signal: *ignoring him*
Jason: yo Signal
Jason: Siggy boy
Jason: my guy Sigs
Jason: brother-beloved
Jason: Signal
Jason: ok i WILL set another fire-
Signal: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST W H A T
Jason: i dropped my keys under my car and my phones dead so i donât have a torch. can you start glowing so i can see where they are?
-
Signal: finally, some peace and quiet as i begin this incredibly important stake out that will take at least four hours-
Jason, climbing over the lip of the building: thought you fuckinâ lost me, didnât you? well i got news for you, i have a whole pizza and nowhere to be until 1AM so we are going to HANG OUT-
Signal: JASON P L E A S E
-
Signal: *hears screams and the sound of gunshots*
Signal: *rushes to help*
Jason, standing in an alleyway with a speaker playing noises from a fight he was at two weeks ago: THERE you are,
Signal: oh my GOD-
Jason: look at this sick drawing i did-
-
Nightwing: why has Duke been glaring at you all night?
Red Hood: no clue.
Duke is the only bat on the day shift and Jason has been using that as entertainment for the past six months.
I love how they simply canât fathom their father doing that. âWhat the HELL did you just say?!â The shocked face Duke has. Jason and Dick looking disgusted. Love this page

đ⨠A Voice from Gaza: Fighting for Hope â¤ď¸âđŠš
Hi, my name is Mosab , and Iâm from Gaza. Life here has been harder than I could ever imagine, but today Iâm sharing my story with hope in my heart, because your kindness has already given us so much strength.
This journey hasnât been easy. The war has taken 25 family members from usâ25 beautiful souls we loved deeply. Their laughter, their presence, their love⌠all of it is gone, leaving behind memories that are both precious and painful. Every day, I carry the weight of their loss, but I also carry their spirit, which gives me the strength to keep going.
Our Journey So Far
When I first reached out, I couldnât have imagined weâd make it this far. Your support has been a light in these difficult times, and we are so deeply grateful for every single contribution.
But the road ahead is still challenging. Every day, weâre reminded of how much weâve lost and how much we still need to rebuild.
Hereâs what life in Gaza looks like for my family right now:
đ Safety: The uncertainty of tomorrow weighs heavily on us.
đ˘ Loss: The absence of the 25 family members weâve lost is a pain we carry every moment.
đ Dreams on Hold: The future feels so far away when survival takes all our strength.
How You Can Help Us Cross the Finish Line Even the smallest act of kindness can make a difference:
$5 may seem small, but for us, itâs a little relief, a moment of comfort, and a reminder that kindness still exists. â¤ď¸
Canât donate? Reblog this post to help us reach someone who can. Every share matters more than you know.
Why Your Support Matters Your kindness isnât just about helping us meet our goalâitâs about reminding us that weâre not alone in this fight. Itâs about hope. Itâs about survival. And itâs about giving my family a chance to rebuild our lives, even in the face of unimaginable loss.
Thank you for helping us get this far. Your generosity and compassion have already brought us closer to a better tomorrow, and for that, Iâm endlessly grateful.
With all my love and gratitude,
Mosab and Family â¤ď¸
its so funny to me that edwin was like having a whole arc coming to terms with his gayness meanwhile esther saw him for three seconds turned her crow into a beautiful boy and was like go flirt with that guy itll work
What will you be tonight? Thatâs the question
Look Iâm not the biggest JayRoy fan bc I have shipped DickRoy since I was like 13. However this idea is rlly funny to me.
Bc Dick helped Roy raise Lian in the beginning when he was lost and needed to get his life together.
If Roy and Jason started dating
And Roy introduced her to his boyfriend
And itâs Uncle Dicks little brother.
You think shes calling him anything else???
Like picture this bc once again these. Characters are like 9000 years old and they do not follow the timelines of aging
Lian is born and Dick is helping Roy out in person for a long time, but by the time sheâs like 6-7 Dicks very busy with Gotham and bludhaven and new York and him and Roy have had a bunch of falling outs but theyâre not letting affect the kid but Dick doesnât visit as much in person.
Lian is still very attached so Roy will sometimes call Dick on FaceTime and let Lian update him about her life and everything and ramble and for a while thatâs the only times Dick and Roy have contact is the text message of
You free Lian misses you?
And Dick spoils the kid rotten, he sends her birthday presents but also half birthday and quarter birthday present. if Roy needs to be somewhere Dick will take her on a trip somewhere just the two of them.
He tells her about his family and Lian becomes obsessed with becoming an acrobat. In the way kids are this gets tacked onto everything else she wants to become
She doesnât wanna be an astronaut no she wants to be an acrobat astronaut.
She doesnât wanna be a doctor she wants to be an acrobat doctor.
So on
He tells her cartoon versions of what happens in his life
So the penguin is peddling drugs through the city that heâs purchasing through laundering money with illegal businesses
Becomes
A penguin walked into a laundromat and ate all the Pennies so now he has go find the penguin to get the money back.
And itâs an event when he does come to see her.
She gets so excited and happy bc Dick carries her around all the time and she gets princess treatment 24/7. And he teaches her games they used to play back in the circus and at first Roy was worried bc Dick doesnât exactly have a scale of normal and heâs not gonna call dick and talk To him but thatâs not something theyâve done in years
but then Lian falls off the monkey bars at day care and flips before landing on her feet, perfectly fine.
And when they call him about it they ask about it bc what is a kid doing with flips ofc theyâre curious but whatever he is doing? The moms want to know? Is there a class because that couldâve been a really nasty fall and catching yourself is a very good skill to have especially as an active child.
And when he asks Lian if she was scared âno! Itâs like game uncle Dick taught me why would I be scared!â
And Roy calls Dick for the first time in years just to talk to him not for him to chat to Lian.
And he asks and Dick just kinda awkwardly admits that thatâs how his parents taught him not to be afraid of heights or falls. If you teach kids a life skill through a game theyâre less likely to freak in the real life scenario. And Roy is kinda reminded why he became friends with this asshole and why he stuck around and it kinda rekindles their friendship.
And then Roy starts dating Jason and itâs on the DL, bc Jason has issues and Roy isnât going to introduce someone who isnât a certain thing to his child. Right.
But things are going well
Very well
And then he decides well fuck it
And they tell people
And everyone is happy for them even Dick despite his very very pained âreally Roy my kid brother?â
âAre you gonna give me the shovel talk Graysonâ
âGod no, youâre a titan which means youâre family which just makes this weird because people I both consider family are dating.â
And then Roy tells Lian
And she is pissed
âWhy is Uncle Dicks little brother hereâ
âWell Lian heâs gonna be around a lot moreâ
âDoes that mean uncle dick is gonna visit moreâ
âNo sweetie but you see uncle dick a lot, Jay over here will just be more aroundâ
ââŚwhy?â
âWell because heâs daddyâs boyfriend nowâ
âLike how Caseyâs new mommy and daddy are boyfriend girlfriendâ
âYeah sweetie exactlyâ
âSo heâs gonna be like my new daddy?â
âWell no, unless you want him to but-â
âI donâtâ
âWhat Lian-â
Lian is very angry because she wants her uncle Dick around more and when she told her friend at school her friend said that her new stepmom was around more since her and her friends dad got married
She then logically assumed the ideal way to get her uncle around more was simply to force Dick and Roy to get married.
And since Dick asks for a list of things she wants every year for her birthdays and Easter and Christmas and st. Patrickâs day and All Saintsâ Day and Eid and Labor Day and Halloween and holi and Passover and ⌠(no she does not realize not everyone gets gifts on all the holidays that exist, this is very normal to her. Roy had to rent a storage room by the time she was 5)
And Dick has never once not gotten her what she wanted (once she asked to meet the penguin who stole the Pennies and dick took her to the zoo and the showed her the penguin who had a little ziploc baggie of coins tied around its middle-she pointed out that he still had the Pennies and dick said that he felt bad and let him keep just a few)
So anyway she was gonna ask for them to get married on her Christmas list but she wanted to ride a pony and so she was gonna add it to her 1/4 birthday list but now her dad is ruining it because she knows you have to be boyfriend girlfriend before you get married and this is not fair.
So she has a parent trap style vendetta against Jason. He is Meredith Blake.
And Jason who loves little kids is devastated bc his boyfriendâs kid does not like him.
And Roy is confused bc Lian and never acted like this ever.
And Dick has no idea whatâs going on bc Lian is eternally an angel with him bc he has gentle parented the shit out of her and also bc he will never see anything she does as wrong ever he knew her when she was a baby that young lady is perfect if you say a derogatory word against her heâll steal your knee caps.
And one day Lian calls him from preschool and is like âdaddy is busy he wants to ask if can you pick me upâ and Dick of course says yes because theyâve done this before and sometimes you only have time to make one last phone call.
So he picks Lian up.
And Roy gets there and freaks bc where the HELL IS HIS CHILD. And bc heâs a hero he assumes his identity is compromised and calls Ollie and everything is on lockdown and WTH his going on.
And like 8 hours later Dick calls him and he almost doesnât pick up and Jason is trying to calm him down and theyâre all tracking her but on a whim he answers cuz maybe Dick can help find his baby.
âHey Roy any ideas when youâre coming to pick Lian up or should I take a day off work tomorrow?â
âWhat?â
âDude are you okay you sound wrecked what the hell happenedâ
âLian is with you?â
âYeah- whatâs happening Roy?â
âWhy is LIAN WITH YOU?â
âSheâŚcalled me to tell me you were busy and needed someone to pick her up.â
âI-â
âRoy is everything okayâ
âShe- she called you?â
âYeah? from the school telephone the same way she does Everytime you have a mission. Roy brief me? Are you okay? Is? Is Jason alright?â
âCan- put Lian on the phone right now.â
âRoy-â
âNOW GRAYSON!â
âYeah sure okayâ
âHi daddy!â
âLian why did you ask Dick to pick you up?â
âYep!â
âWhy?â
âBecause you were busyâ
Deep inhale âwho told you I was busyâ
âYou didâ
âI did not-â
âYeahhh u did, you said you would be with Uncle Dicks little brotherâ
âWhat does that have to do with-â
âGo be gross with him Iâm mad at youâ
âYouâre mad at me, young lady I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR HOURS.â
âWhy? Just because you forgot about uncle dick doesnât mean I didâ
âWha- Lian what are you talking aboutâ
They go to Dicks apartment and Lian explains that she is very cross with Roy because he knows uncle dick is her favorite baby sitter and itâs not fair that he gets to marry Jason when Dick is her favorite and since everyone knows that itâs babysitter and dad , boyfriend girlfriend, married. And thatâs how Roy finds out that Caseyâs new mommy used to be her babysitter and his daughter has been under the assumption that him and Dick were gonna get married since she was four.
And itâs annoying because Jason has never babysat her this whole time and Dick is her favorite baby sitter and heâs dating Dicks brother like thatâs the wrong one dad.
Anyway Dick excuses himself to laugh until he cries in his room and Roy is bluescreening while staring at his daughter.
They clear some stuff up but when sheâs mad she still calls Jason uncle dicks little brother.
Haha Hi uhm yeah kind of embarrasing but sorry 4 being inactive js dunno what should I draw oopps
Any idea or suggest whatever, it's well welcome yk
Jason and Damian meet in the LoA AU where Damian vehemently insists that Jason is his only real brother since they have the same mother and father. The others try to tell him that Jason is also adopted, but Damian will just stare at them like they are stupid and go "is Father not his Father in the eyes of the law?"
"Well, yeah, but-"
"Does Mother not call him as her son?"
"I mean she does-"
"Are they not my Mother and Father as well?"
"Yes?"
"The matter has been concluded, then, Richard."
"What about me? Bruce is also my dad on paper?"
"You get half of the acknownledgement, of course, as you have been getting so far."
"What about Tim, then?"
"I don't see how he is relevant to this conversation."
"I'm just curious where he lands on the brother percentage scale."
"Nowhere. Timothy is a neighbour. Though I shall offer him hospitality while he is under our roof."
"You tripped him on the patrol last night."
"Does the alleyway look like our house to you?"
