#cause Damian shouldn't have ever been injured enough to need the pit

me: The "Jason Todd has glowing green eyes" headcanon is really cool to see in fanart and really works well in hinting back to his death and resurrection in character design. I'm generally a big fan of reminders of character growth, whether that be hair changes, clothes, scars, etc, to this headcanon really sticks with me as something really fun. The Lazarus Pit itself is a very unnatural thing, that much is obvious, and Jason already is sometimes given a streak of white hair, but adding this headcanon is just so cool. The headcanon is that Jason had blue eyes more akin to Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne before his death, but after he came back, the blue is mixed with green. Now, I like this because it's not immediately noticeable as the white hair. It's subtle. How long does it take for people to notice? How long did it take until Jason noticed? What are their reactions? How does Jason feel about it? And that's not even incorporating the glowing part. It just completes the headcanon. Jason's eyes glow an eerie acidic green. It's the same green the subtly hides in his eyes. The same green that colors the Lazarus Pit. It glows in the dark, maybe when he's mad, or maybe when he's injured, as his body heals a bit faster than the average human. I'm just saying, it's a really interesting thought experiment to play around in but it gets even MORE interesting when you consider Damian, who grew up in the League of Assassins and logically could have been just as exposed-
Kidnapper: Oh my god shut up I'm just gonna return you now.
