They’ll all sleep like the dead tonight
Batman: Wayne Family Adventures S2 (Ep. 108) - There Can Only Be One
Look I’m not the biggest JayRoy fan bc I have shipped DickRoy since I was like 13. However this idea is rlly funny to me.
Bc Dick helped Roy raise Lian in the beginning when he was lost and needed to get his life together.
If Roy and Jason started dating
And Roy introduced her to his boyfriend
And it’s Uncle Dicks little brother.
You think shes calling him anything else???
Like picture this bc once again these. Characters are like 9000 years old and they do not follow the timelines of aging
Lian is born and Dick is helping Roy out in person for a long time, but by the time she’s like 6-7 Dicks very busy with Gotham and bludhaven and new York and him and Roy have had a bunch of falling outs but they’re not letting affect the kid but Dick doesn’t visit as much in person.
Lian is still very attached so Roy will sometimes call Dick on FaceTime and let Lian update him about her life and everything and ramble and for a while that’s the only times Dick and Roy have contact is the text message of
You free Lian misses you?
And Dick spoils the kid rotten, he sends her birthday presents but also half birthday and quarter birthday present. if Roy needs to be somewhere Dick will take her on a trip somewhere just the two of them.
He tells her about his family and Lian becomes obsessed with becoming an acrobat. In the way kids are this gets tacked onto everything else she wants to become
She doesn’t wanna be an astronaut no she wants to be an acrobat astronaut.
She doesn’t wanna be a doctor she wants to be an acrobat doctor.
So on
He tells her cartoon versions of what happens in his life
So the penguin is peddling drugs through the city that he’s purchasing through laundering money with illegal businesses
Becomes
A penguin walked into a laundromat and ate all the Pennies so now he has go find the penguin to get the money back.
And it’s an event when he does come to see her.
She gets so excited and happy bc Dick carries her around all the time and she gets princess treatment 24/7. And he teaches her games they used to play back in the circus and at first Roy was worried bc Dick doesn’t exactly have a scale of normal and he’s not gonna call dick and talk To him but that’s not something they’ve done in years
but then Lian falls off the monkey bars at day care and flips before landing on her feet, perfectly fine.
And when they call him about it they ask about it bc what is a kid doing with flips ofc they’re curious but whatever he is doing? The moms want to know? Is there a class because that could’ve been a really nasty fall and catching yourself is a very good skill to have especially as an active child.
And when he asks Lian if she was scared “no! It’s like game uncle Dick taught me why would I be scared!”
And Roy calls Dick for the first time in years just to talk to him not for him to chat to Lian.
And he asks and Dick just kinda awkwardly admits that that’s how his parents taught him not to be afraid of heights or falls. If you teach kids a life skill through a game they’re less likely to freak in the real life scenario. And Roy is kinda reminded why he became friends with this asshole and why he stuck around and it kinda rekindles their friendship.
And then Roy starts dating Jason and it’s on the DL, bc Jason has issues and Roy isn’t going to introduce someone who isn’t a certain thing to his child. Right.
But things are going well
Very well
And then he decides well fuck it
And they tell people
And everyone is happy for them even Dick despite his very very pained “really Roy my kid brother?”
“Are you gonna give me the shovel talk Grayson”
“God no, you’re a titan which means you’re family which just makes this weird because people I both consider family are dating.”
And then Roy tells Lian
And she is pissed
“Why is Uncle Dicks little brother here”
“Well Lian he’s gonna be around a lot more”
“Does that mean uncle dick is gonna visit more”
“No sweetie but you see uncle dick a lot, Jay over here will just be more around”
“…why?”
“Well because he’s daddy’s boyfriend now”
“Like how Casey’s new mommy and daddy are boyfriend girlfriend”
“Yeah sweetie exactly”
“So he’s gonna be like my new daddy?”
“Well no, unless you want him to but-“
“I don’t”
“What Lian-“
Lian is very angry because she wants her uncle Dick around more and when she told her friend at school her friend said that her new stepmom was around more since her and her friends dad got married
She then logically assumed the ideal way to get her uncle around more was simply to force Dick and Roy to get married.
And since Dick asks for a list of things she wants every year for her birthdays and Easter and Christmas and st. Patrick’s day and All Saints’ Day and Eid and Labor Day and Halloween and holi and Passover and … (no she does not realize not everyone gets gifts on all the holidays that exist, this is very normal to her. Roy had to rent a storage room by the time she was 5)
And Dick has never once not gotten her what she wanted (once she asked to meet the penguin who stole the Pennies and dick took her to the zoo and the showed her the penguin who had a little ziploc baggie of coins tied around its middle-she pointed out that he still had the Pennies and dick said that he felt bad and let him keep just a few)
So anyway she was gonna ask for them to get married on her Christmas list but she wanted to ride a pony and so she was gonna add it to her 1/4 birthday list but now her dad is ruining it because she knows you have to be boyfriend girlfriend before you get married and this is not fair.
So she has a parent trap style vendetta against Jason. He is Meredith Blake.
And Jason who loves little kids is devastated bc his boyfriend’s kid does not like him.
And Roy is confused bc Lian and never acted like this ever.
And Dick has no idea what’s going on bc Lian is eternally an angel with him bc he has gentle parented the shit out of her and also bc he will never see anything she does as wrong ever he knew her when she was a baby that young lady is perfect if you say a derogatory word against her he’ll steal your knee caps.
And one day Lian calls him from preschool and is like “daddy is busy he wants to ask if can you pick me up” and Dick of course says yes because they’ve done this before and sometimes you only have time to make one last phone call.
So he picks Lian up.
And Roy gets there and freaks bc where the HELL IS HIS CHILD. And bc he’s a hero he assumes his identity is compromised and calls Ollie and everything is on lockdown and WTH his going on.
And like 8 hours later Dick calls him and he almost doesn’t pick up and Jason is trying to calm him down and they’re all tracking her but on a whim he answers cuz maybe Dick can help find his baby.
“Hey Roy any ideas when you’re coming to pick Lian up or should I take a day off work tomorrow?”
“What?”
“Dude are you okay you sound wrecked what the hell happened”
“Lian is with you?”
“Yeah- what’s happening Roy?”
“Why is LIAN WITH YOU?”
“She…called me to tell me you were busy and needed someone to pick her up.”
“I-“
“Roy is everything okay”
“She- she called you?”
“Yeah? from the school telephone the same way she does Everytime you have a mission. Roy brief me? Are you okay? Is? Is Jason alright?”
“Can- put Lian on the phone right now.”
“Roy-“
“NOW GRAYSON!”
“Yeah sure okay”
“Hi daddy!”
“Lian why did you ask Dick to pick you up?”
“Yep!”
“Why?”
“Because you were busy”
Deep inhale “who told you I was busy”
“You did”
“I did not-“
“Yeahhh u did, you said you would be with Uncle Dicks little brother”
“What does that have to do with-“
“Go be gross with him I’m mad at you”
“You’re mad at me, young lady I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR HOURS.”
“Why? Just because you forgot about uncle dick doesn’t mean I did”
“Wha- Lian what are you talking about”
They go to Dicks apartment and Lian explains that she is very cross with Roy because he knows uncle dick is her favorite baby sitter and it’s not fair that he gets to marry Jason when Dick is her favorite and since everyone knows that it’s babysitter and dad , boyfriend girlfriend, married. And that’s how Roy finds out that Casey’s new mommy used to be her babysitter and his daughter has been under the assumption that him and Dick were gonna get married since she was four.
And it’s annoying because Jason has never babysat her this whole time and Dick is her favorite baby sitter and he’s dating Dicks brother like that’s the wrong one dad.
Anyway Dick excuses himself to laugh until he cries in his room and Roy is bluescreening while staring at his daughter.
They clear some stuff up but when she’s mad she still calls Jason uncle dicks little brother.
When your daughter goes to school in Star City, California, and your boyfriend's Criminal Empire us in Gotham, New Jersey 😔
OG pic + background below cut (I put too much care into the details in the background for Roy to cover them with his stupid body)
Ok but like what if Lian one day, instead of Jayjay, calls Jason Jaydad?
She always heard Roy call him Jaybird or whatever, and she knew that was not really his name. Anyways, she meets Bruce at some point, and he eventually calls him Jaylad, but maybe their relationship is not great yet, so he calls him Jason… and so Lian makes the most logical connection a 5 year old would make: Dad calls him Jaybird (because he’s Jayjay and he’s Dad’s bird), Jayjay’s dad calls him Jay-son (because he’s Jayjay and he’s his son), it is only logical that Lian calls him Jay-whatever-he’s-to-her.
For some time she still calls him Jayjay, cause she’s not sure what he is to her? He is Dad’s bestest friend, and he comes over a lot, and he picks her up from preschool sometimes, and he makes her pancakes with blueberries when she asks nicely, and he reads her books at night, and he makes the extra effort to make the best voices, and he hugs her, and he kisses Dad sometimes, when they think she’s not looking, and— Oh.
So, after she has done a great lot of thinking, she comes to the conclusion that Jayjay must be her Dad too, but he’s not Dad. Jaydad? Hmm doesn’t roll off her tongue the way Jayjay does, but maybe if she tries…
Jason cries the first few times she calls him that. Roy is amused (he also cries a little).
I just realized the girls vs boys ratio in the arrowfamily and I'm in shock-
Girls:
Dinah
Emiko
Sienna
Lian
Mia
Cissie
Jade (yes she counts).
+ Artemis in young justice. She's also very popular arrowfamily character.
I think Sin also counts as arrowfamily but I'm not sure.
So 7-9 girls depends on how you count.
Boys:
Oliver
Roy
Connor
And that's it???
I'm currently hyperfocusing on Lian so I started to think about the arrowfamily and I realized it.
That's so different from the batfamily where the female characters often don't get enough attention and are treated horribly.
Honestly, rn I’m in a state of shock, denial, rage, and bliss simultaneously.
Roy Harper & Piercings
There’s not enough Roy love or ideas out there. I just finished reading the Arsenal special (1996) and he’s just been catching strays :(
I think that if comic book writers and artists could expand more on a previous character's appearance, there would be more tattoos and piercings involved. However, that’s not really the case.
Here’s my personal headcanon on what types of piercings Roy would have since he got tattoos already.
Nose: I think he’d have a simple nostril piercing, but the jewel would be a small star because Lian picked it out for him. It’s silver with even smaller gems covering the shape.
Mouth: I feel like an ashley, snake bite and tongue piercing would match his charm. The ashley piercing would be small, round with a blueish black tint so it stands out from his complexion. The snake bit would be similar in design but thinner and have more of a shine. I don’t think he’d wear them all the time considering his job so he’d have those clear plastic ones. The tongue piercing would be a bright blue, one that’s almost cyan. It easily catches anyone’s eyes and can derail a conversation.
Ears: A simple lobe, upper lobe and industrial would be his go two. It would mirror both sides. The upper lobe was done when Lian was getting her ears pierced and they did them together so she wouldn’t feel so alone. The industrial is there because he found a cool angel wing design and couldn’t help himself.
These are just little think pieces I had about him because he was in a band so I thought that was cool too.
Hi everyone! Today i have an announcement to make! I’ve been working on a special project and it’s finally time to share it with the world. It’s a collab with the amazing @tomatosamla (they did all the work so please go check out their page) and personally i thinks it’s pretty great
This story is going to be a little different from the stuff i usually post here. For starters it won’t be an x reader, we’re using cannon characters as well as ocs in a comic book Teen Titans type setting. The writing style is also going to be a bit different because most of this was written by my partner. I’ll be posting the first chapter tonight at 10 o’clock EST
Our story is called Gifts and it follows the Teen Titans of the future (ocs) when they’re sent to the past and must work with their parents to get home. The all star cast includes Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, Lian Harper, and more. The Titans have to work with their parents and defeat the villain who stranded them there while not spoiling the future.
I’m still posting my normal x reader stories but i thought this was a fun challenge for myself

Roy Harper/Jason Todd And everyone thinks I dodged a bullet, but I think I shot the gun by Daisyapples on AO3.
Dubbing the N52 'the racialized misogyny reboot'.Like just look at it-'Kori' as a whole,the easian girl stereotypication against Cass when she was created to FIGHT it,no Tam or Lian or Mar'i or Nell,ragingly islamophobic Talia writings,total removal of Raven's indian-coding to make her a white goth girl(i support goth indian Raven and proper Bbrae and no,she can't be the 1st but not the 2nd and it HAS to be appropriate unlike the Titans Tv age gap-either that or canonized as a lesbian,no inbetween)that you CANNOT blame on the Teen Titans cartoon entierly seeing as there were still indian influences present with her there,the janky ass Jade slander,the lack of Natasha and Traci and Jenni,the creepy romances with Emiko and Damian that did an Arrowfam member dirty for a Bat's sake yet again and on and on and on!!!That shit is fucked up!!As an autistic latina black woman with superheroes as a special interest who started reading comics because of starting to selfship with Jason due to watching Utrh,i have no clue how y'all snowroaches be eating this up when Jason looks miserable in every issue of Rhato to have to put up with 'Roy' and 'Kori's mollycoddling and is clearly way happier and better written around his actual love interests who not coincidentally at all are woc and actually have personalities on their own and equal heathly dynamics regardless of wether you see the chemistry or not(Rose,Artemis and Dana),ntm him and DUKE for profound brotherly dynamics you want so bad which i did a whole other rant on in my tag for them.He deserves better fans than y'all and much more importantly the woc of DC deserve to be free of y'all's cluches as much as they do the DC writers because the asskissery y'all be doin' is crazy.Shut the fuck up about 'female-coding' and read comics.Decades worth.Readcomicsonline and the infinite superheroines reading lists are all yours.Don't post about DC until you're done,i'm so non-Joker.You can't be talking about woc like that white girls
‼️
Just a reminder that Lian as Red Hood Exists
Jason is THAT parent that goes ALL out on those events where the school sells cookies for charity or just money in general (don't know how it's called, not american ) and goes into fights with the other parents and kids if they say anything mean to Lian or Roy.
Seriously stop posting j*yroy it's literally the worst ship out there
You guys are really annoying, you know that? Lucky for me, annoying is where I live, and I just got a recent bonus that I feel like burning.
So here's what we're gonna do:
From now until 11:59 PM EST on Halloween (Oct. 31st), I want the folks reading this to reblog with your favorite Jayroy headcanons. The fluff, the angst, the crackpot humor, all of it. For each reblog this post gets, I will donate $1.00 USD to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund to aid the victims of the ongoing genocide.
BONUS: if you want me to reblog your headcanon with my own "yes and," just make a donation yourself at the link above and DM me a screenshot of the final page as proof (personal info omitted of course). It can be any amount, even just a dollar/euro/whatever denomination you use.
I believe in us. We have the power of gay ships and spite on our side.
Lian Harper should do that more
I FUCKING HATE LIAN HARPER SO MUCH. THAT STUPID LITTLE DEVIL CHILD THREATENED TO STAB ME???? ME??? HOW DARE SHE!! I HATE HER SO MUCH. I'M GOING TO KIDNAP HER AND GIVE HER TO THE COURT ATP. ROY IS RAISING A HORRIBLE DAUGHTER
