#he’s traumatized

Really cool analysis on the Robin Jason meets Red Hood Jason prompt!! :D Loved that you called it his 'worst nightmare! It's so apt that it made my brain juices tingle a bit. So just for brainstorming I think... Robin Jason would be much much more understanding towards Red Hood Jason. Yes, he's the kid that with his dying breath sheilded Sheila Haywood no matter what.
Thinking about "Elmore’s Lady" in #421 and "Just Deserts" in #422 (Jason is just in the second half!). Robin Jason is the only male character here who agrees and empathizes with Judy for luring and killing the "Dumpster Slasher" (Guy has murdered and implied to have r-worded 10 women) because her sister was the second victim. Jason in the same comic also beats up a pimp to the point Batman has to interfere.
Plus our famous #424, "The Diplomat’s Son" for another example.
Jason Todd imo is someone that has a heart of gold and bleeds empathy. So much of it. And that doesn't change when he becomes Red Hood. Crime in Crime Alley is completely different from that of the rest of Gotham. While their biggest issue is the Rouges and such crime, Crime alley's worst parts are the rampant crime, poverty, the lack of proper structure and governance, and the literal impossibility of getting out of that cycle of crime one is born with.
Jason knows this. Crime alley can't be taken care of with just some charity when half the orphanages are so utterly fucked that kids prefer the streets. It can't be saved by just beating up some folks and calling it a day. Nor does prison adequately help anyone. Do those henchmen have money to even get treatment for a broken bone? For those ribs that got smashed? What happens to the kids they have when they're in prison (Aka same thing that happened with Jason. Willis is in prison? Becomes a street kid. Cycle continues.)
I like that Red Hood Jason targets the upper folks that manage crime. UTRH? 8 heads in a duffle bag. But not one low rank henchman. To control crime is his current 'solution.' Is it 100% correct? Maybe not. But this way most 'innocent' folks don't get hurt. He can clear out orphanages. Give a safe space for the 'working women'.
I think Robin Jason will be horrified at first because wtf. But he has that same bleeding heart. And he's smart. He knows crime alley, he shares that empathy towards victims old or young. I think they might get along a bit :) maybe.
Red Hood Jason gives second chances, definitely 3rd too, multiple. But not infinite like Batman. He's isolated from all his family (as he always is. Catherine, Willis, Sheila) and he still bleeds love and protectiveness. Jaybin would see a angry hurt victim who is so so kind. And so so hurting. He should just give him a hug honestly.
(Also your fics are cool and I wish I could print them on edible paper and nom)
Perfectly put my thoughts in words, honestly.
“Bleeding heart” applies to Jason a little too well and it’s heartbreaking. 😔 especially because most people don’t look further than the whole “he kills people” thing.
Yes, he does, but he goes for the ones who truly deserve it. Some that are arguably worse than the whole rogue gallery combined.
And even so, he certainly doesn’t have fun doing it.
It’s a necessity.

The skrunckle got a ref.
Bask in the glory of him wearing no shoes because I somehow ended up with him and Kaos in these god knows what their called sock things, and I’m almost certain that Cole will either end up wearing combat boots, flip flops or follow suit with the rest of his traumatised, magical family.

He’s so traumatized :)
He also has braids now and a different backstory to go with the trauma :)))
Here’s him from he was younger.
Tumblr media
He had pigtails in this one, and he has too many beads on his necklace because I can’t count
I have so much lore for him, I think I’m hyperfixating on him.
Edit: I always forget to say he’s a Hermes kid

I saw someone mention Jake being giggly inside the cockpit and since I live for traumatized characters that have unhealthy coping mechanisms I just thought- What if that’s why Hangman is the way he is?
Okay, hear me out. He’s been told his whole life he’ll never be good enough, he doesn’t push himself enough, that once he thinks he’s good at something, there’s always someone who’s better than him. He’ll never be number one because he’s Jake Seresin, how could he possibly excel at anything? I feel like his dad wanted someone more like him, I like to think Jake was a very soft person as a child, pacific and very open with his emotions, and his dad couldn’t have that, his wife gave birth to a boy, not a girl. And I feel like Hangman’s mom was just never satisfied with his achievements. She was always like “Oh, you got a 96 in that test? Why isn’t that a 100?”. They took this sweet child and turned him into what Hangman is today. So now, he basically acts like a total asshole to cover the fact that he’s insecure. That he’s heard he wasn’t good enough for the majority of his life and he believes it and doesn’t want other people to know the truth. How would anyone ever figure it out anyways? They won’t take the time to get to know him because of what an asshole he is. He purposely pushed everyone away because they shouldn’t know how much of an actual failure he is. No one’s going to peel back the layers of Jake Seresin, and he was fine with that. It meant he could go fast and crash and burn without any strings attached. That’s why he loves flying so much. It’s a big middle finger to his parents because he gets to do this. He’s part of the 1%. He did that. I like to think that flying was his escape, where he felt like he was finally someone.That’s why he flies so fast and so dangerously, he wanted to go out with a bang, and what’s a bigger bang than saving the world? Than protecting a country? Protecting people? He could fly fast and make very narrow escapes of death, that’s where he liked to be. Feeling the adrenaline coursing through his veins, intoxicating him and punching the air out of his lungs. Feeling the fear at the pit of his stomach, anxiety of uncertainty eating away at him as his hands hovered over the controls. This is where he liked to be. Here, where he could go at mach 10 and ride on the edge of death, something most people would purposely avoid. He was better, superior, he wasn’t a failure and he desperately needed the world to know that. He needed Coyote and Phoenix and Bob and Rooster and Fanboy to know that. Especially Rooster. He needed Rooster to know that he was the better pilot. That’s why he’s so giggly in the cockpit, it’s his happy place. It’s where he gets to shine and be him and there’s no one there to tell him he’s not good enough. Because he is good. Too good to be true. Jake ‘Hangman’ Seresin is good enough.
But that’s just me over analyzing characters and projecting-

Simon has always been confused on why you gift him toys. Sure, most of the gifts you gave him were some of the things he liked. Bourbon, masks, gloves, make up for him to smudge his eyes with, some daggers and knives. Things that we're useful for him, just him. But later, you gifted him a toy airplane. He makes a comment about it, saying he is not a child anymore and you were better off giving it to Johnny instead.
"No, this is specifically for you, take it."
When he gets to him room, he walks toward his trash can, opening it with the tip of his boot. He gives one more look at the toy, his mood souring before throwing it into the trash. He goes on about his day, training, signing paper work, drills. Doing anything to ignore the pain stinging memories that the toy brought back. Emotions that were buried thousands of feet deep it could reach hell itself. Later, he lies awake in bed, staring at the ceiling, avoiding looking at the cylinder shape that's calling for him in his peripheral.
Fuck.
He pulls the covers off vigorously and stomps over to the trash can. He is standing over it like he's trying to intimidate it, as if it was an enemy he's trying to get rid of in battle. To anyone else, the scene would look comical.
He sighs to himself and reaches down to take out the toy he so cruelly threw away. He sets it on his desk and quickly walks toward his bed, facing away from his desk.
The next day, he wakes up feeling different. He swears he sees his room more vibrant, more lively. That energy follows him through out the day, having his other teammates notice his rather bright mood.
You catch him in the hallway. Pulling him aside to ask him about the paper work you left at his desk this morning. Of course, he notices the way you smile brightly, more so than usual. But he notices that you're not looking at him. More like looking at something next to him.
"What's got you so cheery?"
You turn to look up at him, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"I just..." You take a quick glance at the spot next to him, before bringing your eyes back upon his.
"I just hope you liked your gift." The same bright smile appearing on your face.
He stares at you, examining your words. Your expression.
You think you see his eyes crinkle a bit.
"Yea,"
"I liked it."

G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̏̃n̵͙̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀Wa̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉
It was a simple mission. Damian was working with Father to confirm the existence of a Lazarus Pit below Gotham, as Ra's Al Ghul speculated. And they had found it, deep in the caves below Gotham. A Pit the size of an Olympic sized swimming pool, bubbling and steaming. He'd only looked away for a moment.
"Kin-slayer."
Standing waist deep in the water stood Damian's reflection. The hair might be white, and the eyes glowing with the waters, but it was his face. But not his face alone.
Danyal's ghost glared at him. "Get in the water."
Father threw a batarang at him, but the metal flew straight through his head like it was air. Danyal didn't even glance at him, his eyes fixed on Damian. "Get in the water," he ordered again. He stepped closer to the shore and the green water sloshed up the bank higher than it was before. "Or I'll raise the tide so high, all of Gotham will die. So get in the water."
Damian's heart jumped into throat. "Wait-"
"Get in the water."
Father shoved Damian behind him, as if it would protect him, as if he could stop Danyal. "Stop this, please-" If he could just explain-
Another step and the waters surged forward, nearly touching Father's boots. "I'll make whirlpools so profound, your entire family will drown," he promised.
"NO!" Not his brother, his kind brother-
"THEN GET IN THE WATER!" Danyal snarled, revealing monstrously sharp teeth and a black tongue from Damian's poison. "G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̟̰͙̏̃n̵͙̝̟̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀w̵̜͍̤̌a̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉͜!̷̡͔́̀̽" He lunged and Father pushed them back down the passage they'd come. "Don't mistake this for a bluff, brother. You've lived more than enough. Just get in the water." Damian swallowed, throat dry. Was this Danyal's revenge? Did he finally have to face what he had done?
"Robin, who is this?" Father snapped, trying to keep retreating down the cave. But Damian wouldn't let him; the waters, and Danyal with them, would only follow.
Danyal looked between them, scowling. "G̴̩͍͆͆̈́e̵̹̣͆t̷̬̋ ̸̻̮̎̒ĭ̸̟̰͙̏̃n̵͙̝̟̋͐ ̸̛̳̃t̶̪̣̅ḣ̸̳̇͜è̵̠̲͖̔̑ ̶̢̹̖͗͐̀w̵̜͍̤̌a̵̬̞͝ṫ̴̩̣̣e̶͉̲̯͂̏̎r̴̉͜!̷̡͔́̀̽" he snapped again. "I'll take your father and gouge out his eyes, unless you want to stop being a coward and choose to die. Now... get in the water."
