Au Where Instead Of Damian Marching Right Up To Bruce And Declaring He’s Heir To The Bat, He Snoops

Buried alive fic where Tim wakes up in a coffin and the only thing he has is a comm. The comm can only call the Red Hood. When Hood picks up, he appears delighted that Tim has been buried and taunts him. Tim concluding that he has to get out on his own--unbeknownst to him, Jason has been trying to find him, but doesn't want to say that in case whoever has planned this is listening in.

Tim almost reaching the surface, Jason grabbing his hands and pulling him free the rest of the way. Tim freaking out when he sees Jason and Jason having to reassure him that he's here to help.

The orange kitty presented...

how must the Dick -> Jason Robin switch have looked to the Gotham Rogues. it's not as if they did a formal 'attention, Robin has quit his job and will now be operating as Nightwing' announcement. like after a certain point it must have become like a Known Thing that periodically Batman gets new sidekicks. but that first changeover must have messed w people's heads right??

like. you are a B-list Gotham Rogue. You haven't seen Robin in months. You've asked around and no-one else in the circles you move in has seen him either. You're starting to get worried but you aren't sure if you have the kind of relationship with the Batman where it would be appropriate to ask after his sidekick's wellbeing. Every time he shows up Robin-less you get progressively more stressed out.

What types of gamers are they?

Jason: *fills his inventory with weapons*

Steph: *fills her inventory with food*

Barbara: *spends hours building her home base*

Cass: *wanders into the woods with nothing*

Tim: *befriends NPCs and fights monsters*

Damian: *befriends monsters and fights NPCs*

Harper: *equips the worst looking armor with maximum HP*

Dick: *equips the best looking armor with no HP*

Cullen: *fights a Level 2 boss with a Level 80 character*

Duke: *fights a Level 80 boss with a Level 2 character*

Bruce: *buys all the DLCs to max out his character*

Selina: *robs Bruce and makes him start over*

Alfred: *unplugs the TV and tells them to go outside*

Getting a PHD literally anywhere else: Wow! Congratulations! What a great achievement! Amazing!

Getting a PHD in Gotham: Wow! Amazing! You're now on several Government, Civilian, and Bat watchlists.

So if any of the Wayne kids get a PHD, then the entirety of Gotham would be squinting at them suspiciously. They're rich, so resources, and most likely already insane with all the shit they pull.

What I'm saying is if Jason went and got himself a Doctorate in Literature, the whole city would anticipate the appearance of his villainsona called the Dead Poet(emphasis on the dead) or Bookkeeper or something else similarly nerdy and themed like that for sure.

I just know that it would turn into some Gotham inside joke with memes abound, and everytime Jason would, I don't know, give more funding to the neglected Arts Departments in Gotham University, or go to a school for read alongs to encourage kids to read, Gotham social media would go crazy and be like:

"The Dreaded Villain Dead Poet Reads Alice in Wonderland to Children! How Despicable!"

"Villain Dead Poet Lambasts Government on Banning Books! Leads Librarians to Riot!"

"Dead Poet Ramps up his Villainy by Establishing Educational Programmes in Crime Alley! Uplifting the Poor! What a Dastardly Villain!"

"Dead Poet Goes on Live Ranting About his Favourite Books! Favourite Author is Jane Austen! Is this the Feminist Agenda?"

And so on! It's a meme that refuses to go away. His siblings actively participate, and make the situation worse.

Dick held an online Gotham Villains and Anti-Heroes Poll and Dead Poet came out on top, over Red Hood. Jason is an actual Gotham crime boss, but his crowdfunded villainsona is more popular. No he's not salty about it at all.

Duke would create a montage of Dead Poet sightings.

Stephanie would make a Dead Poet meme compilation.

Tim would arrange Wayne Enterprises to donate to local libraries after allegedly being threatened by the heinous villain Dead Poet. (Jason did ask Tim to do that but not like that)

Barbara created an extremely popular Villain Watch account for Dead Poet.

Cass tweeted out Jason's favourite books as the villain Dead Poets reading list telling people to avoid them 'wink wonk', causing a massive uptick in the sale of those books ala Bigolas Dickolas.

Damian of all people tweeted out a pic of Jason playing with Alfred the cat accusing the evil villain Dead Poet of attempting to kidnap his cat.

And thats not to mention all the shenanigans they pull in their batsonas.

God bless Gotham and it's home grown, organic, not even remotely ethically sourced, free range chaos.

I fucking can't right now guys-

🎂HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON TODD🎂

rare vent art from a few months ago

not to brag but I had a conversation today and I was really brave about it

I don't even go here

BUT

Of Saints and Sinners has me experiencing serious brainrot. I'm not even a shipper I usually only enjoy qpr Radiorose but this fiction has me captivated and I'm going soft for Radioapple in this one

It's wonderfully written, the characterization is superb and I really wanted to draw some fanart of it. Since it's impossible for me to pick a favourite scene I just went with this interaction that stuck with me and just portrayed these two dorks slowly going soft for each other. The enemies to friends has been *chef's kiss* I swear

Compliments and many thanks to @morningstarwrites for blessing the fandom with this piece of art
