Ghost.Bird

Five dealers almost wet their pants when they notice Dick staring from the shadows when drugs and money exchange hands.

A potential buyer deadass drops down to pray a Hail Mary like he wasn’t about to purchase enough weapons to arm a small country.

And the less said about Hood’s own men, the better.

You’re very welcome!

Surface Level Analysis on Batfam members and their patrons:

Bruce — the Hunt 🗡️

Dick — the Vast aka. The Falling Titan 🌃

Jason — the Buried ⚰️

Tim — the eye aka the Ceaseless Watcher 👁️

Steph — the Desolation aka Lightless Flame 🔥

Damian — the Slaughter 🐖

Cass — the End ☠️

Duke — the Dark 🌌

((Barbara — the Web aka the Mother of Puppets 🕷️))

Or…a more poetic analysis…

Bruce — the Desolation 🔥

Dick — the Buried ⚰️

Jason — the Spiral 🚪

I think it would be super fun if it was only Jason who’s a literal demon. Damian would take offense to someone being called “son of a demon” until he realizes— wait a damn minute, they mean that LITERALLY!?

((Although I can kind of see Tim being a half demon. Or a ghost.))

Dick would be human, no contest. Our sunshine acrobatic with a bit of a mean streak when it’s warranted. ✨

Everything else proooooobably depends on if we’re going with a “Hotel Batfam” Au or a “regular Batfam fighting crime but the manor is haunted” au kind of theme >.>

Sending healthy thoughts to ward off the ao3 gods curse :)

Imagining Jason doing this on the regular. Only Alfred ever sees it. (Bruce saw it once but he chalked it up to being concussed)

You think that explosion in Ethiopia phased him? Oh please, Bruce has to dig him out of the rubble because he’s taking a nice nap after burrowing himself even deeper.

That explosion was the warmest he’s felt in years.

May he pls do it again?

“Bruce, what do you mean I’m not allowed to sit through another explosion?” :(((

DC tends to gloss over everyone’s trauma so much it’s genuinely vexing from a psychological point of view 😭

Like— OBVIOUSLY a literal teenager isn’t just going to walk off getting brutally murdered and then coming back to life only to be brainwashed by a cult of assassins. Who woulda thunk 😭😭😭

I definitely recommend the Red Hood Lost Days comics and the first couple volumes of the Outlaws comic (regular and Rebirth) for a deeper understanding (or just general Jason content hehe). Other than that I’m afraid I’m not that well versed in comic lore >.>

It’s definitely up there with all the “what the fuck” moments Jason is gonna be having.

Nah, scratch that, Ra’s (and Talia’s) only saving grace is that they’re living on another continent. And that the resident Talon is not gonna take upwards of five steps away from Jason at any time. >.>

Ahhhhh yes! The Jaytim spite fic! It’s still setting at about 80% completion in my wips and, mark my words, I WILL finish it one day. There are literally only some connecting paragraphs to refine and just—- argh!

But yeah, it WILL be be posted eventually.

If only to spite all the people who think it’s cool to leave hate messages under art/cosplay/fanwork just because they think a particular ship is ✨problematic✨

Actually, because I don’t think it’s going to be a large topic in the fic if at all:

Jason knows he’s been using the old Court tunnels because Dick told him about them. He’s been using them to get around Gotham more efficiently and out of sight from Dick and the other Bats.

Talia: (mental eyerolls of aggravation at having to readminister some brainwashing remotely)

Dick: (slowly peering over his owlet's shoulder, very angy Talon mode very much activated)

Talia: (doing her damndest to keep composure because HOLY SHIT the golden, GLARING eyes slowly coming into view over Jason's shoulder almost gave her a heart attack)

Talia, to herself: Why do I suddenly feel like I'm in danger?

The only thing that keeps Talia from “instant incineration via Talon” is the fact that Dick would have to leave Jason’s side to hunt her down.

Dick: (doing this while looking over Jason's shoulder)

(Also starting to threat display.)
