Someone on twitter put this together but even still it’s missing my favorite Lost Days moment

Jason overidentifies with victims. We know this. Jason sees himself and his experiences and the experiences of people he knew in the victims he encounters as Robin. (Whether or not you subscribe to Jason as a victim of childhood SA, Gloria and the dumpster murder victims all resemble more modern depictions of Catherine Todd, who was also shown to be taken advantage of by men who knew she was vulnerable and Jason was aware of it). So when Bruce says that Judy is wrong to avenge her sister, when he says that the corrupt justice system that allowed the murderer to go free to begin with is the basis of the morality Batman and Robin must adhere to, when the best plan of action he has for stopping Garzonas is deporting him so he can continue to rape and brutalize women where Bruce doesn't have to look at the victims- Jason does not perceive it as Bruce talking about random women or case files.

Jason can not detach himself or compartmentalize like Bruce does because it is literally retraumatizing him every time he goes out onto those streets to see powerful men abuse women and get away with it. So what Jason hears is Bruce, The Batman, his dad, saying that Jason and his mom would be acceptable victims if their circumstances were different. Bruce can not, will not, protect him. Bruce sees the lives and possible redemption of the people who have hurt them as equally important or even more prioritized than their safety and closure. Because the law said so. And everyone knows illegal vigilantes Batman and Robin have to fight for and work with the law!! I would not want to stay with that man either! That man who believes that even if I didn't push him, even if I just didn't save the seriel rapist, I would still be guilty. Because retaliation from victims is equally as bad as the initial abuse of course.

Sorry I haven't been posting hockey season is really getting to me this year. Here's self-indulgent interest crossover JT

I laugh, every single time :P

Pissed off at Bruce for the first time? Not only is he attempting to show Bruce that killing can be a good thing, he’s also beating half of his rogue gallery at their own game as a means to an end. Black Mask is fuming and Jason is just like ‘shut up this ain’t about you’

Pissed off at Penguin? Lock him inside his own panic room and take over his whole business.

Pissed off at Dick? Murder Nightwing.

Pissed off at Tim? Cosplay him in his own house.

He is a menace, but weirdly predictable in his anger. I can just imagine Bruce getting a call from Oracle to say that Jason is pissed off again.

Bruce: who’s he pissed off at this time?

Barbara: Riddler, by the looks of things

*Bruce, later that night, finds Jason swinging Nygma’s cane like a bō, with a fat notebook of completed riddles taped to the Batsignal. There is also a hot pink post-it note with the words ‘THEY’RE PISS EASY AND YOUR GRAMMAR IS SHIT.’

Just Jason Todd at the first hint of annoyance:
