Red Hood Characterization

This is really long so I'm putting a cut here, I've been thinking about Jason Todd's character motivations and the question of whether or not his actions are based in a Moral Code (I don't think so, not to say he's without any morality) and I talk about that in more depth here.

I saw someone say on here that Titans: Beast World: Gotham City was some of the best Jason Todd internal writing they'd seen in a while, and I've been a Red Hood fan for 8 years or so now? pretty much since I read comics for the first time, so I went and checked out and I thought it was good! The way the person I saw talking about it as if it was rare and unusual made me wonder though, because as well-written as i thought his stances on crime were, there wasn't really anything in it that went against the way I conceptualize Jason?

This kinda plays into a larger question I've been thinking about for a while with Jason though, which is that, do people think that the killing is part of a fundamental worldview that motivates him a la batman, and that worldview is the reason he does the things he does?? Because 8 years ago i was a middle schooler engaging with fiction on the level that a middle schooler does, so I simply did not put much thought into it beyond "poor guy :(" but ever since I actually started trying to understand consistent characterization, I don't really see Jason as someone who's motivated by a moral code in his actions the way batman or superman is!

tbh my personal read is that he's a very socially-motivated guy, his actions from resurrection to his Joker-Batman ultimatum in utrh always seemed to me like every choice made leading up to his identity reveal was either a. to give him the leverage and skill necessary to pull off his identity reveal successfully, or b. to twist the knife that little bit more when he does let Bruce find out who he is. Like iirc there's a Judd Winick tweet like "yeah tldr he chose Red Hood as his identity because it's the lowest blow he could think of." And I think that's awesome, I think character motivations rooted so deeply in character's relationships and emotions are really fun to read! I also think it's where the stagnation/flatness of his character comes from in certain comics, because if his main motivation is one event in one relationship that passes, and he is not particularly attached to anything in his life or the world by the time that comes to pass, it's a little harder to come up with a direction to go with the character after that, because there isn't much of a direction that aligns with something the character would reasonably want? But I do think solving this by saying "all of the morally-off emotionally driven cruelty he did on his way to spite Batman was actually reflective of his own version of Batman's stance that's exactly the same except he thinks it's GOOD to kill people" isn't ideal. To be fully honest, it seems to me like he never particularly cared one way or the other about killing people to "clean Gotham of crime," he just did everything he could to get the power necessary to pull off his personal plans, and took out any particularly heinous people he encountered along the way (like in Lost Days.) Not to say I think the fact he killed people keeps him up at night anymore than everything else in his life events, I just never really thought he was out there wholeheartedly kneecapping some dude selling weed or random guy robbing a tv store for justice.

Looping wayyy back to my question, Is this (^) contradictory to the way he's written/the overall average perception of the character? Because like I enjoyed his writing in Beast World i have zero significant issue with anything there, I just didn't believe it would be a hot take, like yeah, that is Jason. It's been a while since I've read utrh and lost days, but I don't think my takeaway directly contradicts either of those too bad iirc. Idk all this to say I think Jason killing and being alright with killing is an obvious and objective fact, but i guess i've always seen it as more of a practical tactic than a moral belief, and I think taking the actions made during the lowest points of a character's life where he is obsessively focused on this ONEEEE thing and trying to apply it as a Motivating Stance to everything he's done after that, doesn't really follow logically for me.

#edit: i am so so open to discussion and disagreement on this but please try to have something substantial to say. god bless! #like ofc jason kills but to me it was less “everyone I've ever killed deserves death objectively” #and more “when people are dead they stop doing things like heinous atrocities and trying to kill me" #i don't even think he wanted the joker dead (only) because he thinks he objectively morally deserves death #although the joker is one of the most extreme cases possible and he if does think that he's VERY justified #i really do think it was just about bruce #and wanting bruce to avenge him to show he loved him and he mattered and wanting his dad to give him security #all the killing was about the clown and everything with the clown was about bruce #i've NEVER forgotten the bit in lost days where he has the joker tied up at gunpoint and doesn't kill him #i think if it was only about a moral greater good situation he would have taken him out then and there #if you disagree i'd love to hear why provided you can be civil and not an jerk #also if you disagree PLEASE PLEASE put screenshots and comic issues if possible #i'd love to check them out and form my own stance on them #just know that if you say like. battle for the cowl. or the Tom King batman annual or something i probably won't care too much #comic characterization is ever-changing and inconsistent i truly believe that the best thing to do is just read the important stuff #and try to form your own stances from there #because there's never gonna be 100% of comics involving a character that align with each other perfectly and that's just a given #jason todd #red hood #dc comics

oh my god oh my god oh my GODDDDDD i can’t BELIEVE i found these on my little rainy october thrift shop wander this morning. like, one would have been more MORE enough. but both?? at once??? i am quite simply floating and may never touch back down to earth

#obviously given that it was second hand i don’t know if alex’s autograph is legit #but from my (untrained and overly hopeful) eye it looks very much like it could be??? #anyone who’s more expert in these things feel free to weigh in!! #and the photo book #aghhhhhhhhh #i have been wanting to get my hands on a copy for AGES #there’s something so special and atmospheric about matt’s photography that i’m just obsessed with #and to be able to actually look at them in physicality all together like that is truly something else #i also love that it’s designed like a passport obviously because of the whole album concept #but also because it truly does feel like a little glimpse into their world when they were making it #god what am i meant to do with the rest of my day after this??? 😭 #(put the humbug album on and look through the photo book of course. and maybe even a little fic writing if my heart rate slows enough) #god bless whoever donated these and whatever luck allowed me to find them today 💜💜💜 #i was in need of a bit of a pick me up and by god did this go above and beyond #sorry for how nonsensical all of this has probably been #i’m just #i’m feeling a lot rn 😭 #arctic monkeys #alex turner #lulu posts

Not once, since I finished TGCF, did I ever stop thinking about Xie Lian’s ultimate technique:

Shattering boulders on one’s chest

#HE DID THIS DURING A LITERAL SWORD FIGHT #LIKE HELLO????? #SPOILER ALERT HE FUCKING TOOK DOWN THE MASS MURDERER WHO WAS CAUSING DEVASTATIONS LEFT AND RIGHT BY SMASHING HIM AGAINST A WALL #IS NO ONE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS #I GENUINELY DID NOT KNOW WHETHER TO LAUGH OR CRY #sometimes when it’s 3am all these thoughts cluster to the forefront of my brain and i pluck one out to think about it carefully #tgcf brainrot but the brain is truly rotting and unable to think of anything else #oh by the way I AM ON VOLUME 3 OF 2HA AND WTF????????? #tgcf brainrot has caught up to me #heaven official's blessing #天官赐福 #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #i also think about how the entire tgcf characters will simply disappear one day in the universe and i cried

[sushisocks]

something nobody tells you about writing your own fic is that once it's finished you can actually just.... read it? and it's filled with your favorite ships and tropes and has a story you enjoy, because you wrote it! wild!!

#ficposting #rdr2 #AV #teki talks #finished AV and had a couple days off before feeling like i wanted to read smth and wouldnt you know it!! #there are whole ass fics catering to what i wanna read -- on MY profile!!! wowowow. truly blessed #anyway rereading AV just for pleasure and not to obsessively double-check a phrase or detail or edit out mistakes has been an experience #am having fun though. i wanna write more once i have the motivation/inspiration heehoo

I might be ~quirky~ for this (welcome to my twisted mind and etc) but I genuinely have so much fun with shipping nowadays, ever since I chose to be singleship for each muse. I feel like my adhd has never allowed me to pour even half as much care and attention into a ship as I'd have loved to when I had multiple ones at the same time per muse, so being able to focus on a single romantic dynamic per muse really feels like a weight off my shoulders

#* ooc. / posts. #I also know my adhd is all over the place so at times I may go a few months w/o bringing that specific muse (and thus ship) up #(unless you approach me in dms; in which case my mind typically instantly goes !!! on the muse & ship) #so I'm INCREDIBLY touched whenever my ship partners agree to be singleship w me. It's truly such an honor and blessing to me #and I feel like it's much easier for my muse to get very attached when their romantic attention only goes to a single person; #so you can best believe that from the moment we start shipping your portrayal will ALWAYS. and I mean /ALWAYS/ be intertwined with mine #doesn't matter if you drop the muse or leave tumblr or stop writing altogether. your muse will Always be my muse's special someone #I've had tons of ships where my partner disappeared off the face of the earth one day and yet all I've done was change 'singleship' #to 'noship' bc my muse's heart to this day (several irl years later) continues to be with their portrayal; REFUSING to look at anyone else #Granted this is also why I'm so picky with shipping; in the sense that I let my muse lead the way til they fall in love #and only THEN do I ask the mun if they're fine w our muses being a thing (and thus being singleship w me) #I used to say yes to people just asking to ship and while I know that's a neat option too; I simply. Cannot do that these days ADGHSAJDSDK #nothing against anyone nor against that route; but I've had a good share of ships that crumbled or made me lose muse bc my muse wasn't #feeling the ship. so I'm no longer going ahead unless the muse falls first and makes ME start shipping it rather than the other way around #and that decision has unironically made me feel so light and comfortable here AHDSAJDSKDJ #AH NEY WAYZ!! I need to be sedated bc why am I awake at 11 am. I HAVE NOT SLEPT.

I love your fic so much that I bookbinded it ! Japanese bookbinding has become a hobby of mine recently and I just had to do this one.

Seriously, I re-read it enough already to know it by heart but it still makes me laugh and squeal every time. Thank you for this gem 🥰

#holy fucking SHIT my good bro?????????? #when i tell you this made my entire day week and myriad you don't even know #i can NOT believe that a) this is a thing that you can do and b) this is a thing you chose to do!!! with a thing of mine!!!! #i could not be more flattered if you ran me over with an industrial steamroller #also that colour is BEAUTIFUL #blue is my favourite 🥺 #thank you for being so talented and for sharing that talent with me and BLESSING me with this #my heart is so full #really and truly thank you #i hope you are vibing and thriving and riding high today #i sure am now #wow. wow dot vine. owen wilson wow dot jpeg. just. wow #asks

#I feel like I've been awful negative on here recently #But really and truly I am blessed #I have a nice warm home to spend the winter.

idk ab yall, but i fully believe that everything happens for a reason :-) life is interesting indeed

#and whether that is to teach you a lesson #or to help you get revenge #or to punish you #or you bless you for deeds #idk! life is a pretty funky thing #but the most important thing ive learnt in my 18 years is that #maybe sometimes ; you ARE the problem. and thats okay #sometimes its not bc everyone hates you. maybe its because you truly did something wrong and you need to learn from your actions #and its important to evaluate as well ; dont just blame everything and everyone else for things that happened that gave you negative emotion #-emotions! #its okay to be the problem. no one faults you entirely. but you learn and grow like everyone else #but thats if you’re willing to learn and grow like everyone else :) #you will never truly grow if you stick with a victimising mindset #and you will never truly find what you’re seeking with a victimising mindset #wow i rly went on a tangent here sorry yall hehe im being reflective tonight #genuinely 18 years have passed and sometimes im like!! why am i still here!!!! but then i remember im here for a reason too #and i hope to find the reason one day

Jian is an insufferable brat. unfortunately i love him dearly and want desperately for him to find a happy life. even more unfortunately everyone in the world wants him very dead and its not even for the insufferable brat thing!

#Universe Ends Posts #the art of prophecy #the war arts saga #i... truly it is impressive how closely my journey about jian mirrored taishi's #at the end was she was like 'oh he actually grew up a bit'- i was EMOTIONAL #he DID grow up a bit! he learned some lessons! he's gonna become such a great man some day! #and also he is SO annoying and i Love Him Deeply #also shout out to this book for having such a toxic yuri dynamic in it #Sali and Qisama.... there is NO way this works out well for you two but bless your gay lil hearts i hope it does #ALSO ALSO- so absolutely delighted at how many Grizzled Older Legendary Mentor tropes that usually male roles fill #that were instead given whole heartedly to Taishi #including the string of lovers who are varying levels of still-in-love-with/attracted to her #iconic. no one is doing it like her. tough old bitch refuses to die a humiliating death #genuinely there's so many good fuckin characters in this book #and somehow i am invested in Each One i want Xinde and Meehae and Pahm to have satisfying arcs!!! #gonna be Thinking About Them a lot for the next few days

comic concept from popular fandom that loads of people are interested in: this does not bring joy

comic concept from far less popular fandom that WAY fewer people are interested in: this one brings joy?????

why, brain. every time.

#hyperfixations are a bitch #but tbh it has done my brain SO. Much. Good. To get out of the nar*to fandom lmaoooooooo #peace and love to all my friends there - I am still on the peripheries but the sheer amount of drahma and arguing over ridiculous shit #just made me feel like I was courting constant burnout #along with being a relatively 'popular blog' in that fandom it was just wayyyyy too much with school + work + disability #and I felt guilty that I couldn't keep up with everyone's expectations and wants for me #which I know was entirely in my head!! I know people weren't disappointed when I couldn't create constantly #but burnout + brain issues is a bitch #anyway I love u narto show and I love u vast majority of the narto fandom <3 I may dip toes back in one day #In other words: I am happy and I am surviving as much as a disabled bitch can #I just wish I could guide my hyperfixations to where they'd be most popular! #still popularity was a curse on my mental health so my current b*tjokes obsession is truly a blessing #rambles #nobody take this personally challenge; I'm literally just spitballing about my Feelings not attacking ur fandom xxx
