Reverse Robins - Tumblr Posts
IS THAT A FUCKING JOJO REFERENCE
meeting reverse robins AU, where some things just don't change
Do it. Do it. Do it.
To Everyone Who Writes Reverse Robin AUs
Don’t be a coward. Make Duke the first Robin. Do it.
You know one thing that really pisses me off? When people take attributes, plot points, and arcs of one character and giving them to another. This applies to adaptations, but what I really hate is when the fandom does it.
Like when stansas take things from Dany and Arya, like dragons and Needle, and give them to Sansa. It really shows how they don't actually like her character since they're so invested in her becoming something she never could be. Also they never have good things to say about Arya and especially Daenerys, yet apparently their characters and talents are just fine since they're good enough for Sansa.
I also see this happen a lot with Alicent. I've already talked about her and Aemma, so I won't rehash that. But, I just saw a post of someone coming up with a headcanon that Alicent chose Baelon's egg instead of Rhaenyra. That with people calling her "Mother of Dragons" and drawing her in Valyrian clothing just again shows that apparently Rhaenyra, Daenerys, and Valyrian traditions are totally evil unless their fav is doing those things. I've even seen people giving her Jaehaerys' crown, like a woman ruling is bad, unless it's Alicent. Because apparently her life and titles aren't interesting enough.
These are just examples in the asoiaf fandom. Another fandom that is obsessed with doing this is the Batfamily fandom. The biggest instance that I can think of is in reverse robin aus, where it seems impossible to keep the characters true to their personalities. For example, whenever Tim Drake is the second robin, he becomes Red Hood and does everything the way Jason did. This makes no sense, as Jason’s ties to Crime Alley and his decisions in utrh are not things Tim shares. Unless writers swap around their back stories too, literally nothing that happens in utrh makes sense. But even then, Tim and Jason are fundamentally different people, even if they swap backgrounds, so you'd still have to come up with a new story. What I'm getting at is that giving Tim Jason’s personality, or any other batkid, makes no sense and is just so fucking frustrating.
If you want to write aus where someone swaps situations with someone or if you want to theorize about a character, don't just steal from another character. Especially if you spend so much time and energy disparaging that other character. If you truly love a character, you wouldn't just slap someone else's life onto their's, you'd embrace them for who they are, not try to make them into something they aren't.
i've got the strangest feeling / this isn't our first time around
not ACTUALLY past lives stuff, i decided the titles WAYY before i actually wrote the stuff. when its over ill make like a post with the series and put it on the masterpost but otherwise just take this July 2nd Platonic | reverse Robins or same age Robins | Tim's missing spleen lol | shifters; kemonomimis
“with his last act of cruelty, the joker tainted us all.”
reverse robins/joker junior tim is still one of my favorite batfam tropes and I simply will not stop thinking about it <3
Thinking of a reverse Robin au, but what that would mean for the characterization of them.
1. Damian. The blood son, the loose blade, and the one that escaped Rah al Gul.
I think that he wouldn't do a decowling. No matter how much he and Bruce would fight. He is extremely loyal to a fault and would want to stay at his side, even if it wasn't as Robin. He'd also train all of his siblings so they'd be better tools for his father. (He adores them and is terrified of them dying)
2. Tim Drake, the detective who found out Batman's and Robin's identity after he saw Damian, gently getting a cat out of a tree and saved Bruce (who had been kidnapped some big bad and was gone for months) by sharing every detail he had with Damian. He was the one that died for Damian and became rahs right hand man in his wake.
3. Jason, who stole tires of the bat mobile to help his friends escape from a really angry bat duo. The one that became a powerful enforcer and medic. He wasn't allowed to train at first because both Damian and Bruce didn't want to lose another child and tried to turn him into a medic, so he'd feel included. Then Tim reappeared and "took pity on him."
4. Dick, the angry gremlin that wants to murder his parents murderer. He is a boy full of love and pain and doesn't know how to control them. His brothers help him though.
paint the town red🩸(red hood tim)
(based on @mammutblog's red hood timmy design i haven't stopped thinking about since the first time i saw it)
print! | playlist
Damian slipping a dagger into Steph’s coffin as a funerary gift, because he would never risk sending his sister into the afterlife unarmed.
Steph waking up in her dress in her grave without even a belt buckle to her name, but feeling that hilt digging into her hip. Steph using the dagger to dig her way out.
Talia coming to retrieve Steph off the streets, and Steph still has that dagger. Steph pulling it on Talia on pure instinct.
Talia confirming Steph’s identity by Steph’s stance & grip—exactly the way Damian taught her (exactly the way he learned from his mother.)
Steph recognizing Damian’s features in Talia, and lowering the knife in confusion. Talia taking Steph by the wrist and leading her into the vehicle that will take them out of Gotham until Steph makes her grand return.
The Reverse Robin au except the first Robin is literally just a big chunk of Gothams youth population, like just several teens ranging from 13 to 19 dressed up in red, green, and yellow clothes committing mass acts of vigilantism, identifying as one individual. They're somehow organized as fuck and have a lil scheduling system which only allows 10 Robin's out per night. Eventually Bruce is like "ok this fucking ridiculous, we're choosing ONE Robin" and all the other Robins nominate Duke. And while this point forward (at least till a couple years later) Duke is Bruces only Robin, it doesn't stop Duke from having Robin family reunions in the Wayne Manor backyard
Reverse Robins AU but instead of just the Robins it's the entire Batfam. I'm talking switch Alfred, Bruce, Dick, Babs, Jason, Tim, Steph, Cass, Damian, and Duke and watch what chaos ensues
Wise grandfather Duke dispensing life advice left, right and center
Batman!Damian raised by assassins only to choose a better way, completely dedicated to his mission and equally awkward around kids (Richard! What has possessed you to climb on that thing?)
Perfect oldest daughter Cass, the one who made Damian think he could maybe handle more kids
Genius Tim, BFFs with Cass, who just needs love and attention so badly and is so good at finding trouble on his own... Joins the family unofficially
Wild hellion second child Steph (eventually becomes Red Hood) who makes Damian realize he absolutely should not acquire more kids
Mischievous third child Jason, who watched Steph fight to save her hometown and wants to follow in her footsteps as well as he possibly can after her "death"
Unstoppable Babs, who puts on a costume under her father's nose whether they want her to or not. Also joins unofficially
Wild fourth child Dick, a pure ray of sunshine and bad puns
Quiet and intense Bruce, Damian's biological son who lost his (previously unknown) single mother in an accident that might not have been so accidental
And finally... Youngest adopted/fostered sibling Alfred, British snob and horrible influence extraordinaire
I have decided that the correct interpretation of Red Hood!Tim Drake in the Reverse Robins AU is as a hacktivist terrorist. The Red Hood is his logo the way the anonymous mask is irl. He releases videos revealing the sins of the rich and powerful soon after killing them in "accidents" involving malfunctioning technology, like some Black Mirror villain. No one knows how big the organization actually is.
The only thing tying Red Hood to Batman is that any money stolen from the targets go to Gotham charities and similar "accidents" happen to smaller, Gotham targets with no videos released.
This could also be Steph's origin story for becoming Oracle. She's noticed some things that Bruce refuses to acknowledge and starts an investigation of her own with a new identity.
I think this would be a great reinterpretation of the vigilante that stays true to Tim's strengths. It could also be his way of getting away from Ra's as he claims he needs to independently develop his leadership skills in a way that still furthers the League of Assassin's goals.
I'm sorry but tim as just like a copy of jason in robin reversals is so boring
But you wanna know what would be a more interesting alternative?
Tw for mentions of torture/torture recovery, child being beat up and child endangerment
Tim as robin is kidnapped by the joker and the whole joker junior situation happens. Tim doesn't die but he severely traumatized. He stops being robin during his recovery and does not return. It takes him YEARS to mentally recover. He still has scar from the torture with chronic pain and other factors.
He starts being homeschooled since he is not thought to be safe around while recovering. Over his time recovering he begins to resentful bruce for putting him in situation like this. After years of recovering hes finally able to go out and enjoy normal activities just in time to go to college.
He gets accepted to a college thats pretty prestigious and in Tim's dream city but its across the country. This causes bruce to worry that Tim could possibly have some complications while away so he tries to convince not to go. Tim ignoring Bruce wishes moves to the college of his dreams. When he gets there he starts to make friends, party and generally have the best time of his life.
Although all this makes tim hatred for Bruce grow stronger because he sees a glimpse of the life he could have had through high school that was taken away from him because of Bruce allowing him to be robin. He starts to become angered by other superheroes with kid sidekicks or teams filled with teenagers. While he would never become a full blown villain he does start to influence people around him with his ideas.
Tim beliefs start to become more wide spread about children sidekicks being wrong. These ideas become so popular that there people campaigning to ban child superheroes and arrest anyone who has anyone causing a lot of tension with in the country and Tim is the face of it all. When Tim returns home for summer break he sees the new Robin, Jason, and promptly loses his at Bruce and yells at him for not learning his lesson. Tim does not get through to him so he decides the next best thing is to go for Jason.
Tim acts passive aggressive to Jason and slowly starts to convince he will never be good enough for the place of Robin. Jason starts to doubt himself in the field which causes his to be distracted which leads to him getting the shit beat out of him. He almost dies but is saved. When Tim learns hes almost got Jason killed he becomes racked with guilt.
He wants to absolutely move away from the family but Jason convinces him to stay and be his big brother. Tim reluctant but agrees and him and Jason start to actually bond and become like brothers. Despite all of this Tim is still angry at Bruce and keeps his organization/movement against batman and child side kicks up at running.
Tim is polite with bruce but passive aggressive and does not to have to speak to him more he has to while batman just wants his son back.
Okay so using this to soundboard something someone posted awhile ago.
Someone made a post saying how if we (fanon) were going to give Tim Jason's backstory than we had to go all out. He was always destined to be a criminal. I mean he was halfway there with the stalking and gaslighting. Bruce tried his best, but he was doomed to be bad.' That was the post. [Basically the way that some writers and a good part of the fandom treats Jason. As if simply because of who he was he was destined to become Red Hood]
But add this to an AU (reverse Robin or otherwise) and suddenly you have these moments where Tim saw himself becoming evil in the future and promised he wouldn't become that, only to die and come back using the same weapon and hurting people the way he promised he wouldn't, and you have that cycle of doomed narrative. This was always doomed to happen sort of thing. By trying to avoid his future he created it sort of thing.
[IDK reverse Robin people here's a bone, and for those who like to maliciously comply with fanon stuff or meta stuff here's a bone.]
RedHood! Tim AU except he quits during the middle of the intense reveal showdown because Bart, Kon, and Cassie catch wind that he's back and what he's doing and say
"Tim!!! Remember how you SWORE you wouldn't become gun batman!??! Look look in a mirror, you're halfway there!!!
And Tim's just like
"Shittt, ur right. Party's over guys I gotta go home and think about this".
Then they have a yj sleepover while the rest if the batfam are like, "what the fuck?!? Tim's actually back?!?! And he's evil? But he just quit being evil???! I have.. SO MANY QUESTIONS"
✷Babysitting Reverse Robins: Driving to the Supermarket ‿✷
Masterlist
A couple hours prior Damian had asked you to watch his family while he stayed out late on a case and because you owed him so many favors you said yes. Which led you to what you were doing.
"Dick are you sure you can drive?" you asked the small child.
He seemed pretty excited to finally be able to show off his driving skills even though you were pretty sure he shouldn't even have been able to touch a steering wheel at his age.
The only reason you were allowing this small child to drive you to the supermarket was because you currently had to deal with their baby brother Bruce who for the life of you would not let you go.
You'd tried putting him down so many times but he'd jump cling on to you further and scream his head off and you can't drive like that can you?
Also for some reason Damian allowed him to have a car.
Who gives a child a car?!
"Of course I can drive, I can't say the same for him though" he grinned before turning over to his older brother Jason.
Even though he was also still a child he'd somehow been allowed to ride a motorcycle through the streets.
"Guys I'm not to sure about this, can't we get Tim to drive?" you asked.
He was the much older sibling and you were sure he had much more experience than these two.
"He can't drive"
Scratch that, nevermind
"Why is he older and he can't drive?" You asked as you helped Dick in to the car.
He wasn't even tall enough to get in, let alone reach the steering wheel without having to sit on a little cushion.
Ridiculous
"Cause he sucks and we're better" Jason answered.
Bit harsh but okay.
"You'd better drive quick before the police realize that there's a kid in the drivers seat" you told him before quickly getting in the car.
You hadn't even had time to talk to Jason before he was off, speeding down the streets as if the supermarket wasn't ten minutes away.
Matter of fact you could've just walked there but sadly Gotham was to dangerous for that. So let's hope Dick can actually drive or else your totally screwed.
"Um, so I probably should've told you this before but.." He turns to you with that cute little deceiving smile he always give you before something goes wrong.
In the corner of your eye you can see him slowly pressing his foot into the gas peddle.
"I lied, I can't drive"
....
"WHAT, STOP THE CAR"
He just giggles before hard pressing the gas peddle. All you can do is clutch Baby B tightly in your arms and hope you get to the supermarket in one piece.
i think it’d be very funny and also very angsty if in my Reverse Robins au, dick still kills the joker
like, it’s a year after jason was killed, and the joker kidnaps Rumor/Tim. Robin arrives, the joker convinces him Rumor is dead, and then he taunts Robin about Batboy/Jason’s death
atp bruce is gone, presumed dead (lost in time), jason died a year ago, and dick is still recovering from his parents deaths. he can’t handle losing anyone else. so he just… stops holding back. he does the quadruple flip, slamming into the joker at 80mph, and breaks the bastard’s neck. no one revives him. dick doesn’t regret it one bit.
and the joker is forever known for being defeated by a fucking 12 year old with anger issues
Oh my god op your writing is AMAZING
“tim knows bruce well. he knows that every breath bruce takes for the rest of his life will be haunted by the ghosts of his parents. every single action is dedicated to the memory of that night in crime alley. bruce remembers like he's drowning, like he's dreaming, like he's praying at an altar. bruce will remember tim better than anyone else could.”
SCREAMINGGGGG!! The way you capture Bruce’s mindset, feeling stuck in his own trauma, revolving his entire life around it. MY GODDDD I ALSO EAT UP RELIGIOUS IMAGERY!! DESCRIBING IT AS BRUCE PRAYING AT AN ALTAR IS SO GOOD
shocked to hear that people have been using ‘gray ghost’ as a possible future vigilante name for tim bc that’s the name i’ve been using for him in my reverse robins au where he chooses the name in order to inflict maximum psychic damage on bruce
More like Angels
Pairings: Hades!Jason Todd x Angel!Reader.
Warnings: MDNI, smut, mentions of torture (tongue cutting, nudity, etc), forbidden love, possession, minor injuries.
Summary: Jason Todd, one of the most powerful Greek gods, takes a specific liking to a certain Angel.
Jason knew that he was obsessed the moment you had stepped into the underworld, but who was to tell him that his obsession was wrong?
You must have been the most beautiful creature he’d ever seen, your soft hair falling over your shoulders in waves and your wings strong and beautiful, dragging along the polished floor behind you with grace. You were adorned in gold jewels from Hera, and a white gown that hugged your curves perfectly and left little to his imagination.
Although your gaze was downcast, stood behind Hera, or otherwise his sister, Cassandra, he could see the innocent curiosity in your eyes as you glanced around his palace. It must have been very different compared to your home in Olympus. When you finally noticed his gaze, you were quick to avert them back to your feet, a deep blush coating your cheeks.
Jason knew then that he had to have you.
Somehow, he had managed to convince Hera to stay longer than intended, meaning that you would be staying, too. Jason would find any pathetic excuse to get you alone, sending the other angels off for tasks but insisting that you stay at his side. For what reason? He never said.
He would make flirtatious comments whenever he could, loving the reaction he pulled from you every time. Your flustered expression would always play in his mind, and it only made him do it more when you had no intention of stopping him. A god and an angel were never meant to be, and Jason knew this very well.
When you had asked him a question about his home, referring to him as Hades, he was quick to correct you almost instantly. It was Jason to you. Only you. Of course, you had been hesitant to refer to him as his proper name, but after consistent reminding from Jason, you had slowly begun to ease into the routine, secretly loving the way his name practically rolled off your tongue.
He found any excuse to touch you, whether it be simply grazing the tips of his fingers along the feathers of your wings, claiming how soft they were, or simply reaching over to feel your flesh against his own. You let him, loving the feeling yourself. No god had ever been this intimate with any angel before, yet Jason planned to change that.
It was no surprise to Jason when he heard the rumors - he would pass his servants within the corridors to which he would hear the quiet murmurs of whispers and burning eyes. Maybe he should have felt embarrassed, afraid even, but he couldn't help the pride blooming within him.
You, however, were much different. You could feel the lingering gazes of people whenever you stepped out of your room, deciding then that it was best to just stay in your room alone until you were personally requested by the gods. You hated the watchful eyes, hated the whispers and false rumors that continued to spread, and it made you fearful of what could happen if the gods were to find out your close relationship to the god of the underworld.
You had to admit that you loved Jason's presence. He was charming, daring, kind (to you, at least), and behind all of his anger, gentle. You refused to admit it to yourself, but you held a strong attraction for the young god.
Jason would always have a close eye on you, watching as you flowed with grace so easily around his home. It was like you had lived here this whole time. He swore that you would purposefully tease him, wearing clothes that were snug on your hips and breasts, talking to him with that sweet voice of yours... and he hated how much it affected him.
Of course, you weren't aware of this until later he had you pinned against your bedroom wall, lips trailing down your neck in pants and open-mouthed kisses, leaving purple marks in his wake. Anything to prove that you were officially his.
It had taken you by surprise, but you didn't hold back from kissing Jason back when his lips finally landed on yours, rough and wanting. His hands were eagerly grasping at the plush of your ass, causing for your mouth to open in a gasp which he quickly used to his advantage, slipping his tongue in.
Jason swore that you were a gift sent to him from heaven, and in a certain sense you were.
"You do this to me on purpose," he rasped against you.
"Do what?" You breathed, your lips chasing after his when he pulled back slightly, eyeing you with what you placed as lust.
So stupid, so naive.
His fingers were brushing against your skin, trailing down from the strap of your dress and over to your wings that fluttered at his touch. You let out a shaky breath when he slipped the strap of your dress off from your shoulders, letting the top of your dress drop down the curve of your breasts. Jason was instantly taking you in, admiring your bare body before him. You felt uneasy under his burning gaze, but before your arms could move up to cover your body or your wings could move to wrap around you, he was pulling you in for another deep kiss.
The both of you stumbled over to the bed, his hands pushing you back as your body landed upon your soft sheets that he ensured the maids laid out for you.
He wasted no time in brushing his nose against the nape of your neck, his lips brushing against the warm flesh. Your scent was arousing to him, like honey and rain. You were so oblivious to him, so oblivious to how much he craved you.
He took a moment, admiring your body laid out before him, your eyes staring back up at him with the same passion he held. The dress still hung loosely on your hips, and he was quick to rip it from your body. Jason's mouth practically drooled once he saw your bare cunt between your thighs.
"Beautiful, my love," he whispered, barely audible, but you heard it.
He knelt down, hands parting your thighs and breath hitting your slit. Any attempt at closing your legs was a fail when Jason kept his hands strong in place.
"Jason?" You questioned, voice like honey to his ears. "I-I don't know if we should do this."
He glanced up, meeting your eye and seeing the evident uncertainty held within them.
"Afraid somebody will catch us?" He teased, though you didn't return his smile. "Let them," he finished, before delving into your pussy.
You couldn't help the moan that slipped your mouth when his tongue flattened out against you, lapping at your juices. His nose nudged at your clit causing for you to gasp, and a single digit slipped into your cunt with ease. Jason pumped his fingers, craving the sounds of your moans and whimpers as you writhed, body shifting and fingers tugging roughly at his hair.
He couldn't have loved it more.
His lips attached to your clit, sucking and tugging at it gently that caused your back to arch, your mouth open in a silent moan. Your eyes were squeezed shut, but Jason tapped your thigh impatiently.
"Eyes on me, angel," he spoke into your pussy, the vibrations causing for another wave of pleasure.
"Jay-" you whimpered, and Jason felt the blood rush down into his pants.
Just as your climax was right at its peak, Jason pulled back with a mischievous smirk, crawling back to hover above you. The tears threatened to spill from your dark lashes, the coil in your stomach beginning to fade. You couldn't help but to buck your hips slightly.
Shrugging off his shirt, he tossed it randomly onto the floor and dove back to your lips, only this time, it was gentle. His hand combed through your hair, feeling it between his fingers. You would have thought it was all innocent and sweet if it weren't for the very prominent budge pressing against your upper thigh.
"Give me your hand," Jason demanded, and you listened. Your hand came up before his face and he grabbed it firmly within his own, brining it down to his pants.
He chuckled at the wide-eyed look you gave him. "Don't worry, Angel. You want to make me feel good, don't you?"
You nodded your head, and he took that as his sign to finally bring your hand down to his clothed bulge, watching you intently as your fingers travelled along his cock. He couldn't hold back the deep moan when you pressed down on him.
Jason wasn't a patient man. He was quick to strip himself of his pants and watch you admire his body. Big, muscled, and beyond anything you had seen before. You wondered what the others would say if they saw you right now - you would be kicked out of your home in Olympus, even possibly killed for your sins! Yet, you paid no mind as you let your hands wander Jason's body, craving to feel it against yours. Your cunt pulsed with need, and Jason knew this.
"Please, Jay," you begged, kissing his cheek and then his lips.
Jason watched you, silent, but then he tapped the side of your hip with his finger.
"Get on your hands and knees."
You did, your ass on display for his view and wings laying neatly over your body. You looked back at Jason as he took you in, his hand squeezing at the plush of your ass. Without another word, he was lining up behind you, cock pressed against you as he unintentionally bucked his hips, causing for the both of you to moan.
"It will hurt," he said, voice gruff yet full of determination. The tip of his cock pocked at your entrance, and you knew he wasn't lying. He was big.
He began to slip in, and you cried at the painful stretch. You were thankful that he had prepared you moments before. A tear slipped down the curve of your cheek the more Jason pushed in, and he hushed your cries when he bottomed out.
His hand laid against your back, following the arch and then caressing your soft wings. For a moment, you both sat still, adjusting to the new feeling of him inside you.
Jason hovered over your back, pressing his lips behind your ear before he began to move. It was small, short thrusts at first, but it soon turned quick and hard. The pain soon turned to pleasure, and your face laid pushed into the sheets as moans spilled out from your mouth.
"Fuck, you know you could get in so much trouble for this, right?" Jason grunted, landing a slap against your ass. You yelped, but he quickly eased the pain by rubbing his palm over the raw skin.
You tried to retort, but a particular hard thrust cut you off with a whine.
"I can't let anybody else have you... You're mine, Angel."
You knew he was right. With the many hickies littering your skin, the bruises that you were sure would show up by the morning between your thighs, you were Jason Todd's.
You breathed out, looking back at him once more with your teary eyes, although full of love. "I'm yours."
For the rest of the night, the room was filled with the sounds of skin slapping on skin, broken moans, and heavy pants. When the time came that you had both grown sweaty and exhausted, Jason had laid beside you with an arm pulling you in close, your body being enveloped by him in warmth.
Jason hadn't seen you as much the past two days.
Though your behavior was normal between the two of you, everybody had just seemed to drag you away from him. First, it would be some of his servants and then the other angels, then eventually his sister was requesting your presence more often too.
It was also strange to him when Cass had insisted on speaking to him - tone blunt and firm.
So here he was, sitting upon his throne as she was stood before him, as well as his two brothers.
"What makes you think that they can enter my home?" Jason demanded, his gaze drawn to his sister in anger, but she remained stoic.
"Jason," his brother, Dick, spoke up. "We know about the girl."
Jason felt his heart rate quicken, though he didn't show it. He remained calm in his posture and only raised a brow.
Hera, or Cassandra, shook her head. "It was already a mistake coming to stay here, Jason, but it was an even bigger mistake to take her innocence."
Jason scoffed. "I haven't seen her for days. Your accusations are wrong," he spoke, but he felt his stomach drop when the three eyed him carefully, the large doors behind them swinging open to reveal your broken form.
You had two people on either side of you, dragging you into the throne room as you wept in their arms. When they tossed you onto the floor before him, he had the chance to properly take you in.
Your clothes were torn and dirty, practically already falling off your body and revealing yourself to cruel eyes. You had multiple cuts and bruises across your body, your wings a messy wreck, and just by looking at you Jason could tell that you were weak and vulnerable. It angered him.
"You dare do this in my home?" He growled, eyes burning with fury as he stood from his throne. "Release her!"
Dick shook his head. "We can't do that, Jay."
"Don't ever fucking call me that!" Jason attempted to walk to you, but his path was blocked. More people began to crowd the room, and the only thing Jason could hear was the horrified whispers and your loud sobs.
"She has broken one of the many laws, Jason. She's a traitor." Hera spoke, pointing to your frame. "She must be punished. If it weren't for your own selfish desires, nobody would be in this current situation."
The murmurs of the onlookers made his fury burn. How dare these people look at you - belittle you - in front of him?
"She should have her tongue cut out," A voice spoke from the crowd. "Hell, even rip her wings from her body!"
The last thing Jason heard was a loud cry and then crimson red blood seeping onto the floor. Gasps and screams filled his palace, and Jason turned to his siblings, the bloodied man below him nothing more than dead flesh.
"You leave my realm at once before I do the same to all of you," Jason began. "If you ever come back, I will rip your limbs from your body myself and feed you to Cerberus."
Jason swore he had never been so angry in his life.
His three siblings looked at him. Was it disappointment? Anger? He didn't care. Not now.
"She's not welcome back. If she does, I'll kill her myself," Cass spoke, before eyeing your form and walking out the door. His two brothers following behind.
Jason rushed to your side, and you didn't hesitate to throw your arms around him despite your pain, crying into his shoulder and his shirt soaking your warm tears.
It was then that Jason decided he would never let you out of his sight. You were his, and he would kill anybody who tried to take you from him.

This is one of the few takes I've seen that hasn't just made them the same characters as cannon just with a different coat of paint. I really like the way it makes each of them fit with their canon stories
Saw some ppl talking about Reverse Robins and i had thoughts
Talking abt u guys @eldritchdreamss @brucewaynehater101
Why kill Tim when you could kill baby Jason? What I want is for all of them to keep their own backstories and personalities (Developed in line with the story of course) So ofc i had to write a 1,000 word brainrot abt it.
(Also i'll only be going over the main 4 batbros for now i will add more later but these guys are the ones im most passionate about so here we go)
Damian
Let Damian come in, desperate to be of use and be worthy of his father, only for a softer, less jaded bruce (since jason hasnt died yet) to help him open up his heart and let him act as a kid. With no competition for so long, I imagine he and Bruce get along very well while he works with him. Yeah, they need to work on the no killing deal and Damian's... i guess impulse control? But i think it would be easier with very intensely focused reparenting; no distractions of other kids you know? No favoring or anything.
I see Damian growing up as a stoic, jaded adult. He's had a rough life. Maybe he sticks with the vigilante business. but I really love headcanons where he gets out of it, and focuses on something calmer, like his art. (I do appreciate and love the veterinarian Damian AUs, but im going for FULL calmness, you know? And doctor/vet work is Not calm lol)
So yeah, maybe he grows a real passion for heroism, maybe he doesn't? Maybe he goes on to be an artist and that's just what he does. Bro is ready to settle down as a scarred, veteran trophy husband and i adore him for that.
(Sorry lol i just love Damian and i love the idea of him growing out of both of his parent's legacies. Let him live his own life!!! He fights so so hard for at least 15 years. ALL 15 years of his life. He deserves to have some peace.)
Tim
Tim i think would need a much different story to join the Batfam. He still starts out as a stalker who follows batman and. . . . . . . Redimar (meaning Redemption iykyk (I just spend 17min researching names rip)) at night, takes photos, etc... Since Damian doesn't die, maybe he finds Tim? and like, tim is like 11 and Damian is 17 or 18. He's started going out as Redimar less and less, not that B really minds? In fact hes probably happy for his son so...
But then Damian finds Tim, and now he has to keep going out because he can't let this kid get himself killed like this. He would hold himself accountable since hes the only reason Tim keeps going out so much- also i imagine Tim follows Redimar more than Batman.
Cue a classic Tim Joining The Batfam plotline. They get to know each other better, get a grasp on Tim's situation, Damian finally introduces Tim to Bruce... (Probably something like Dami: "Father, this is my new brother. Timothy, say hello to Father," Tim: "Hello, Father," Dami: "Perfect." Bruce: "*falls off the batchair*)
Anyway, so, Tim ends up kinda just merging with the Waynes. They start training him, its all good and nice, and Tim makes his own little hero team unlike Damian, which is actually pretty interesting here; its Tim who made the first young hero team. Damian only ever had Jon (Superboy 1 in this!!) and he finds Young Just Us and becomes a great leader and its all fine and dandy.
Tim and Damian get along well. Damian is the sage older brother whos kinda distant, but only because he has such high emotional walls (but secretly a softy). He is very much like Bruce- nope, nevermind, hes definitely worse than Bruce in this AU, since Bruce is depicted as being much more agreeable before Jason's death, you know? So yeah, Damian is the emotionally constipated bitch in the fam and we love him for that. But hey!! Tim does manage to get through his walls! And Bruce does sometimes too!! (Tho i imagine Bruce and Damian's relationship to be very.. idk let me try to expalain. Dami: "Father." Bruce: "Son :)" Dami: "Tt." Bruce: *nods* "Hrn." Dami: "Hmph." Bruce: "Hm.") DO U PICK UP WHAT IM PUTTING DOWN--- lmfao. They hardly need words.
Tim ends up growing up very very capable. Once his parents die, he gets a little jaded, but hes still Tim. He and Damian become kind of an... ice prince duo? If you get what I mean. But Tim is the one whos actually the ice prince, Damian is secretly a HUGE softie. He is Delicate and Tim protects him lmfao.
Jason
Jason comes along like he does in canon. Has the same backstory. Tries to steal the Batmobile's wheels. Tim is sleeping over at Damian's flat for the night, so its just Bruce. They bond. Shit happens. Jason joins the fam.
I don't imagine them not getting along, but they don't immediately hit it off either. Jason is wary of all of them for a time, but he ends up warming up to Damian pretty fast after realizing what a softie he is. He pokes fun at Damian and Damian just freaking takes it lmao. Hes an adult he cannot be disturbed. Bro has seen too much and he finds Jason adorable. (Dami: "You were never this cute, Timothy." <- he is lying. Tim: *offended* "What the fu- flip!?" Jason: "Lmao Tim just say fuck." Dami: *deadpan stare* Tim: "JASON NO DONT SAY THE FUCK WORD-") ahem.
anywho and then Jason dies rip skill issue ratio.
The whole batfam is heartbroken. Genuinely shattered. Jason was a light in their lives. Not that they were WITHOUT any light, but Jason was the epitome of a sunshine child.
It's been too long since Damian has killed someone. Bro's god oodles and oodles of trauma. He can't bring himself to kill the Joker.
but Tim can.
It's a whole dramatic thing; Damian feels awful that he made his- now only- little brother kill. Bruce is hella upset but feels responsible for not seeing how badly both of his kids were handling the death of their brother. Tim goes a little off the deep end.
Things turn out.... okay. sort of. but not really. Tim changes his hero name to Red Cardinal. He feels pretty lost. Maybe he stumbles into Ra's al Ghul or smthn idk maybe smthn happens there perhaps. Maybe Damian has to put on Redimar again and rescue him? But its less of a rescue and more of a "Stop joining the dark side Tim jesus christ-" (and it does work).
They go home. Tim gets a boyfriend or two. Damian falls into his art. Bruce is throwing himself into work. They're all kind of a mess, but they keep moving.
and then
Dick
(lmao that sounded wrong)
ahem; and then the circus comes to town. The batfam- well, Tim, Damian, and Bruce- all decide to get together to do something fun. Take the opportunities given, yk? So they go to the circus together.
Wham bam rip the falling Flying Graysons.
They see Dick, breaking apart, and they know they have to do something. Bruce is the first to move. Then Tim. Damian is the last.
It's pretty quick getting Dick home, since Bruce is already a foster parent cuz of Tim yk. So Dick doesn't have to suffer in Juvie at all really. But that doesn't change the fact that he is ANGRY.
Dick is SO angry. he wants to kill the person who murdered his parents. He knows what he saw.
The fam of course do their best to investigate. Mostly Tim, who feels unworthy of being around an innocent little kid after his whole.... villain era, i suppose lol. (ofc Dick thinks Tim doesnt like him lol misunderstanding arc GO)
The whole "Dick accepts that justice is better than murder kinda maybe FOR NOW" storyline happens, and Dick becomes the conniving, bright, little Robin we all know and love. (Thinking of the Young Justice Cartoon Robin (but not the characters- just Dick's character) aaaand
Womp womp GUESS WHOS BACK
Jason's Back
but i'll leave that for later.
i think it’d be very funny and also very angsty if in my Reverse Robins au, dick still kills the joker
like, it’s a year after jason was killed, and the joker kidnaps Rumor/Tim. Robin arrives, the joker convinces him Rumor is dead, and then he taunts Robin about Batboy/Jason’s death
atp bruce is gone, presumed dead (lost in time), jason died a year ago, and dick is still recovering from his parents deaths. he can’t handle losing anyone else. so he just… stops holding back. he does the quadruple flip, slamming into the joker at 80mph, and breaks the bastard’s neck. no one revives him. dick doesn’t regret it one bit.
and the joker is forever known for being defeated by a fucking 12 year old with anger issues
