After several weeks of recurring insomnia due to his constant nightmares, Jason finally found his much needed sleep at a last minute movie night with his original fellow Outlaws. Roy and Kori, knowing that their Jaybird slept best when he was surrounded by their presence and safety, wasted no time in rushing to his need.

[A post not LO related? A rarity!]

They will always be the Outlaws to me.

Edit : Buuut I also haven't read it in years, so I might have to do that because my opinion may be outdated.

I need the comic book fanfic writers to be made very aware of something:

Roy Harper is the only one to EVER call Jason Todd "Jaybird".

This isn't a family name that he picked up on, or that Roy made and the family has adopted. Roy is literally the only person to call him that. Dick doesn't, Babs doesn't, Bruce doesn't, nobody but Roy does.

The others call him Jay sometimes, in old comics Jace was said a few times (which I actually like and wish people would use literally at all). Bruce has said "Jay, lad" like once and fandom adopted him calling Jason "Jaylad" but that's not horribly egregious so I tolerate it. Dick occasionally calls Jason "little wing". That's about it.

Jaybird is very specifically a Roy Harper thing.

(Honestly yall better appreciate me actually looking back in RHATO 2011 because BOY do I hate this comic. It's not only poorly written, but in my opinion, ugly as fucking sin and I need to burn my retinas now)

That is the first instance of Jason ever being called "Jaybird", and it becomes a lowkey running gag that Roy calls him that and Jason "hates" it.

And then we get this post Heroes In Crisis

This whole thing may have been poorly written because, again, Scott Lobdell sucks, but the intent is to evoke intimacy to make Roy's death hurt. Jason is supposed to have just lost his best friend and was told by Bruce Wayne whose last appearance in his life was beating the shit out of him and, oh yeah, who saved Jason? Roy Fucking Harper.

In addition to the fact that Roy only left Jason to get help for himself. He was supposed to be in rehab/therapy, somewhere safe, and he fucking died because of handwavy Speedforce shenanigans or whatever it's been retconned to now because nobody liked Heroes in Crisis. Roy was supposed to be getting better and he died ostensibly in an accident. Like if that's not the worst fucking bullshit--

This scene of Jason calling himself by what he deems a stupid nickname would mean jack shit if everyone and their goddamn cat called him "Jaybird". But it being a Roy-specific thing makes this scene distinctly about Jason being vulnerable and actively grieving. It's such a cliche trope, and a real coping mechanism, to call a deceased loved one's phone just to hear their voice in their inbox message again. He probably has no thoughts that Roy will ever hear it so this is just for him, but he's letting himself accept this dumb nickname Roy gave him now because it was Roy that gave it to him and Roy is fucking dead.

Like, in fairness it probably frustrates me more because I ship the two and parallel it with Oliver calling Dinah "pretty bird", but like...even as just a cheeky friend nickname, nothing romantic behind it, having everyone else call Jason that feels wrong. Especially his family who he still has so many issues with and, like it or not, he's closer to Roy than literally any of the Bats at this point.

This isn't the only time I've seen the fandom do this (this being giving nicknames between characters that just don't exist); Jason calling Tim "replacement" is absolutely rampant in the fandom and I hate that too because he never calls Tim that, and refers to him as such like once. I have a whole list of actual nicknames and insults these motherfuckers call each other somewhere, but maybe another time.

In short

STOP HAVING EVERYONE CALL HIM JAYBIRD.

Thank you and have a nice day. <3

Artists on Tumblr I'm begging you please use something other than Red Hood and the Outlaws for drawing Roy Harper. I'm so sick of seeing the stupid trucker hat and the green prison tattoos. He's had dozens of other looks please take inspiration from one of them.

Hell his current Green Arrow look is also just fine.

Just please please use something different!

Roy Harper: is a competent leader, having led one incarnation of the Teen Titans as well as the Outsiders, choosing to end them because of concerns of where things were leading (Teen Titans as a government-run team and less as a family/The Outsiders were leading him to acting darker than he want to be)

Some Interpretations of him (especially based off Scott Lobdell's version): barely functional manchild who frequently endangers his teammates because LOLs

Inspired by the post below:

I had a flash and wanted to draw jayroy in the context of that meme (featuring a not very supportive Dick :3)

Is Jason actually good with kids, or is that fanon?

Oh, that's definitely a canon thing. Jason has always cared deeply about children and taken great efforts to protect them. Hell, the first comic he showed up in as Red Hood showed him taking control of Gotham's drug dealers and telling them that if they dealed to kids, they'd be swiftly and painfully murdered.

Batman #635

It can be assumed that the reason Jason's so passionate about protecting children and teenagers is because he himself had a crappy childhood. He had to take care of his drug addict mom, then lived on the streets, and then became a child soldier who died before his sixteenth birthday. Jason knows what it's like to have your childhood taken away, so he does what he can to protect the kids of Gotham. It’s like what Selina said about Bruce that one time: “When you take away the cape and the cowl and the capital ‘T’ in ‘The Batman’...he’s all about protecting the innocent.” Bruce and Jason have this in common.

Batman: Urban Legends #1

Batman: Urban Legends #2

Batman: Urban Legends #6

DCeased: Unkillables #1

Batman Eternal #18

Red Hood: Outlaw Annual #3

Grayson #15

Then there's Jason's relationship with Duela Dent, which I’ve always loved. Jason was the only person who always believed in Duela and genuinely tried to help her, even when she screwed up or seemed "unfixable". No matter how many times she stumbled, he never gave up on her because he has personal experience with needing second, third, and fourth chances. And it worked in the end; Duela gave up the life and went back home to try being a normal girl again.

Red Hood/Arsenal #6

Red Hood/Arsenal #9

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #50

Jason has a similar relationship with Bizarro, treating him with respect and understanding even when everyone else saw him as a monster. Jason saw Bizarro for who he was: a creature with a childlike mentality who deserved his own life, rather than the weapon everyone else thought he was.

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #3

Red Hood and the Outlaws (2016) #4

(The only exception is Damian, who Jason is not afraid to bodyslam into the ground lmao.)

This is a part of the intro to a solo I wrote where Dick tells Jason that Roy is back from the dead and it does not go over well with Jason that Roy didn’t trust him as much as Dick.

It is very loosely based on canon events. I put my own spin on it and made it extra angsty because JayRoy is life. I’ll post the full solo if more than 3 people seem captivated 🫠

This is not authorized to repost without crediting to me ( My writer tag is Diabolus ) be respectful and don’t steal people’s work!

I might turn it into a fic and post on AO3 if I find the energy to add more.

(Also heey my first ever tumblr post! I always just lurk on this app so go easy on me for not quite knowing how to use tumblr)
