Jason using his guns as blunt weapons is so funny like imagine ur getting shot at by the Red Hood, he runs out of ammo, you think you have a chance and he just throws the fucking pistol at you
“that’s not accurate to the comics!!” I couldn’t care less, these r my dolls and I will do whatever I want to them, i’m playing house goddamnit!! lemme live in my delusions!! It’s called feeding ur inner child!!!
how do you watch supernatural and leave without an all-consuming unhealthy obsession with sam winchester how do you go through life without thinking about him and his sparkling puppy eyes and his baby brotherism do you even fucking get it how are you not getting it
I love scarlet so much and really wish DC remembered she existed :( big brother/father figure Jason during his peek villain era was absolutely amazing. If I'm remembering right someone (maybe the bats??) Even tried to use scarlet against him because she's "the only one he cares about." I know a lot of people hate his characterization in these arcs but I am always down for crazy, blood thirsty red hood with a side of questionable ethics.
Okay so I might be overthinking this, but I feel like Scarlet was set up to be both a foil and villain towards Damian and also for their relationship to sorta mirror Bruce and Jason's.
If you don't know who Scarlet is, let me introduce you to her a sec before I explain.
So this is Scarlet. Her real name is Sasha. She got introduced in the first issue of Batman and Robin (2009). Of course, then she looked like this:
Her dad and uncle are both goons, and they're all immigrants from Russia. However, her uncle is killed by Professor Pyg and her father is turned into a dollotron in front of her because they were planning on leaving, having encountered Batman.
However, Dick and Damian aren't looking for Pyg right then - or at least, not that they're aware of. They have an encounter with Le Cirque d'Etrange and discover a man they had been tracking, the Toad, found dead. They get a lead, but unfortunately get into a fight, so Damian takes an opportunity to sneak out alone and track down their lead. This is where he meets Sasha, who has started to have the dollotron process performed on her. She tries to warn him that it's a trap.
The dollotrons, however, manage to quickly overwhelm him. Damian wakes up to find himself to find himself tied to a chair. Sasha is strapped to a medical table, about to have the dollotron process finished on her. Damian breaks free and frees Sasha, promising to get her out, and together they begin fighting Professor Pyg and his dollotrons. Sasha lights him on fire and he tries to flee, which is when this happens:
Then Dick shows up, although the building burns down. But Sasha escaped. The Dollotrons were all brought to the hospital, and that night, she kills her father.
Jason saves her, and offers her a place as his partner, which she accepts. After this she becomes his partner/protegé/sidekick and goes by the name Scarlet.
Okay, so that's Scarlet. Now I want to draw attention to specific parts of her story where she mirrors Jason.
- Dad is a goon
- Is captured by a Rogue who has threatened their parent
- Is severely injured by and loses parent to said Rogue
- Wayne fails to save them
-attempts to kill father
-becomes a villain who believes that they're in the right
idk. Maybe I'm reading way too much into this. But it just feels purposeful to me. Like maybe Damian was supposed to find a way to eventually save or redeem Scarlet, where Bruce failed to with Jason. That maybe they could grow, become better than their predecessors.
sam: sorry dean but it’s kind of uncool that you lied abt severely violating my bodily autonomy for the umpteenth time. I think perhaps I need some space to think. sorry!
dean at a later juncture, referencing the above: hey sam remember when you told me I might as well kill myself bc the sacrifice I made for you meant nothing. well your cruel words cannot hurt me fickle wench ive grown a protective shell from the scar tissue of your past transgressions. hold on the list is in my pocket I’ll read it to you again
the fandom: dean is so tragically misunderstood…….. my sweet baby has the whole world on his shoulders…… white boy you’re breaking my heart……..
i need someone to be as insane about my apocalypse jayrose as me
“You can just…” the words are hoarse, quiet, barely more than a croak; “you can just...keep going without me.”
Rose looks over at him, panting heavily. The veins of his face are pitch-black by now, green eyes dulled to a dark gray. It doesn’t look like he’s breathing, or even alive. “What?”
“Just…” Jason takes in a ragged breath, entire body shaking with it. She thinks she hears his ribs rattle. “Go on without me.”
That’s not an option in her mind. Maybe once, long ago, when they first found each other. But not now. Not when they’re so close to somewhere they’ll finally be safe. Not when Jason’s all she has now, all she’s ever had. Leaving him behind isn’t an option. No matter what. Infected or not, it’s both of them. Always. “Fat fucking chance,” she breathes out.
