Trying to like, not make Percy Jackson in my Robin!Percy AU like Jason Todd but I can’t help it lmao, Jason’s my favorite.
Because at some point, Percy is probably not going to be Robin anymore, not out of his own will but being Robin, specifically under Batman really grounds him and without Batman and no one constantly berating him for beating up criminals too hard, he’d probably kill someone.
And I feel like post Robin, he wouldn’t have some vengeful, sort of noble reason to drift to the dark side, but he needs someone, something to put his anger towards, and Bruce and Gotham is sort of the perfect place because a lot of people there are kinda like, shit.
Yeah Percy in this AU he’s definitely more like canonical Percy Jackson inside, but he just has too much rage and anger for people to see that unless they dig deep (ie. Basically the outcasts aka his teenage superhero group.)
So i think it’s interesting that most of the time, we’ll just be seeing the mask Percy puts up for himself because he doesn’t like most of the batfam. He likes Jason and begrudgingly like Dick but he doesn’t talk to them, not really (except probably Jason) and ofc he likes Alfred, everyone likes Alfred. But he doesn’t like Bruce or anyone else for that matter and it’s really going to show (hopefully).
Honestly, Percy doesn’t need Robin, he needs therapy. Honestly he’s doomed for therapy in all three AUs I’m writing (the superhero/demigod au, the Robin AU, and the mortal AU)
