Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus), male, taken February 10, 2025, in Georgia, US
After weeks of staking my feeders out, ONE brave soul FINALLY inched forward onto the feeder perches. Even if all he did was look around and stare at me judgmentally, he still let me get some nice pictures of him before leaving (without even grabbing a snack..) and I respect him for that. Clearly, blackbirds are braver alone than in groups!

a Concept™ ~
jason todd: part-time drug lord, part-time babysitter (but both parts overlap literally all the time lol)
like you have -
Bruce, already running late to a Super Duper Fun Board Meeting™ with his hair all mussed up, his pants unbuttoned and baby!dami slung around his neck like a fucking scarf: jason i need you to watch damian
Jason, fully aware of the fact that he was literally just about to leave to go do very illegal, very gang-related things that his family Does Not Know About™: how about no
*one hour later*
Jason, decked out in full Red Hood gear holding a two-year old Damian in a cheap, Party City Robin costume ‘to preserve his identity’: see this kid? this is my kid. you lose him, i kill you. you make him cry, i kill you. you get so much as a speck of dust on him, i kill you. understand?
The poor, unfortunate henchmen tasked with watching Damian while Jason Takes Care Of Business™: yEs siR bOsS siR mR. rEd hOoD siR aYe ayE
*twenty minutes later*
Jason, sitting across from one of his gang members who’s about to piss his pants from fright bc Red Hood’s going Peak Intimidation™: so you see, Harold, if i ever find your ugly fucking mug lurking around Gotham High ever again, i’m going to shove an AK-47 so far up your—
Jason, hears the sound of little feet pattering towards the room and immediately curses every god that ever was: *internally* oh fuck
Damian, slams the door open: *screeching* BIG BROTHERRRRRRRR
Damian, toddling over to Jason as fast as his chubby little legs can carry him: big brother big brother!!! wook!! wook!! *shoves his hands in jason’s face* d’yasee d’yasee!!!
Jason, trying to salvage the situation: yeah yeah ’s really great squirt, awesome, amazing, go the fuck back where you came from—
“you’re not wooking!!!!”
“okay! okay, what am i looking at?”
“a rowwy powwy :)”
Jason:
Jason: *internally* he’s just a kid he’s just a kid, fucking calm down jason you can’t drop kick a two-year-old into the sun even tho he totally ruined your kick-ass intimidation session—
Jason: *externally* jeepers tater tot :) that’s so cool :) :) what’s its name :) :) :)
“her name >:(”
“sorry, her name”
Damian: es’melda. like in the movie! :)
and damian looks so damn proud of himself, jason can’t help but ruffle his hair even tho he totally messed up all of jason’s plans. but THEN. damian turns to harold, who hasn’t been this fucking confused since his high school calc class, and shoves his hands in his face and is like “wook!!! isn’t she pretty!! :))))” and all he sees is this weird tiny black sphere in damian’s sticky baby hands.
Harold:
Jason: yeah harold :) isn’t she pretty :) :)
Harold *sweats nervously*: uh.... yeah?
Damian: you don’... you don’ wike her!!! :(
Harold *glancing at Jason who’s tapping the barrel of his gun against the table*: *gulps* yes i do! i totally do—

One thing that’s hilarious to me regarding DP fic crossovers with other superhero media is, while we joke that Danny is sorta OP in canon, he’s extremely OP in comparison to other heroes. His power set is just perfectly matched by his antagonists (ghosts) and thus is any situation outside of ghosts he’s ridiculously powerful.
Imagine a hero that can attack enemies and then phase through any return hits. Who has superhuman healing even when he’s hit. Who can be invisible and completely undetectable to people, technology etc for recon purposes. Who can overshadow anyone and make them do as he pleases. Ghost powers, especially stable and strong powers like Danny’s, would be an immense boon to whatever hero or villain got ahold of him. He could change the outcome of any battle.
And yet the fact that he’s a) 14 and stupid b) stuck for the most part in Amity and c) his rogues consists of other ghosts who can counter his insane power set means that Danny doesn’t really get how scary his powers would be to the outside hero community.
Diversity win!
