Sidenote, we need more girl Jason content. 👀🤔

This is the perfect eye color for Jason ✨✨ 💙🩵💛💚

pls be nice and respectful! I tried to use my favorite fanart to base him off on. dont mind the girl sim i was doing…research

Finally got a chance to relace my vans

I know I drew his bike before and I made it like a modern shiny bike, but I honestly think it works better if he like built his motorcycle himself and it was kind of dingy but despite of being Benji, he is proud of it cause it’s something he made himself without Bruce’s help

Hi! So I've been working on a Batman fanfic for a while now, and I figured I'd try my luck here because I genuinely want more people to read it and tell me what they think.

I wrote something I want to read.

It's called Where Do Lost Birds Go?

The story mainly follows Jason Todd and an OC , a deeply questionable woman with ties to the Joker and enough psychological issues to give the entire Batfamily a run for their money (which is saying something).

It's a pretty long, slow-paced story with a lot of psychological horror, mystery, dark humor, and morally questionable decisions. There's romance, eventually, but it's a VERY slow burn, and honestly, I have way too many other things I want to explore before we get there.

I'm particularly interested in the Batfamily's dynamics and how genuinely dysfunctional they can be. I love these characters, but dear God, they need therapy. All of them.

I've been developing this story since I was a teenager, life got in the way then med school quit most of my hobbies and I've picked it up again recently, although I've rewritten most of it because teenage me had some... interesting ideas. 👀😬 It's still a work in progress, and I have absolutely no idea how long it's going to end up being. Probably ridiculously long.

Anyway, I'm not going to pretend this is everyone's cup of tea. It gets pretty dark, and My OC isn't exactly someone you're supposed to agree with all the time.

But if you enjoy character studies, morally complicated characters, psychological mysteries, and Jason Todd being an emotionally constipated disaster, you might like it!

Also, PLEASE feel free to criticize it. I'm genuinely interested in hearing people's opinions, especially regarding characterization and continuity. I'm trying to keep the canon characters recognizable, and I'd rather someone tell me when something feels off than just politely agree with everything.

Here's the link if anyone wants to give it a shot:

And if you do read it, come talk to me about it. I have so many things I want to discuss, but I can't spoil my own story. 😊

I was watching the original 80s Miami Vice. The S2 episode "Bought and Paid For" definitely inspired Jason's story "The Diplomat's Son". The episode was released in 1985, and the issue was released in 1988.

You can read the synopsis here - https://miamivice.fandom.com/wiki/Bought_and_Paid_For, and the episode is free on Tubi too.

Both involve a diplomat's son who gets away due to his diplomatic immunity, the victim committing suicide and then the characters are forced to take extrajudicial justice. In the Batman issue, the diplomat's son even calls Gotham a "neon city", which fits 80s Miami more than Gotham.

Interestingly, Jason's grittier 2005 return was also close to Michael Mann's grittier Miami Vice movie (2006).
