And That's Not Even Acknowledging The Actual, Very Real, Murder Suicide Attempt Of UTRH. (Or Whatever

And that's not even acknowledging the actual, very real, murder suicide attempt of UTRH. (Or whatever the hell was going on at the end of his btfc era, because I generally refuse to acknowledge btfc!Jason). He needed to be put on suicide watch like yesterday, but then again we've seen what happens when DC heroes try to get support for their mental health...

"“Tell Roy I say sorry”, he whispers, and the noise and visions flash through his mind so fast the green can’t protect him, the warehouse and the countdown and that chilling, shrill laughter and Tim -Tim screams."

Tensions are high as the Red Hood has barely started joining the bats on missions, and Jason is determined to protect this fragile truce with the people he could one call his family. So when he finds himself in an all-too familiar situation (a robin, a warehouse, and a bomb), he makes a decision. Somehow this spirals into what might be the worst week of his second life. As it turns out, not everybody is supportive of the way he handles his body and what happens to it... But perhaps, it's for the better, just this time.

More of trans allegory Jason and the goons VS the batfam:

Transmasc older goon, trying to connect: Hey out of curiosity boss, when did your egg crack?

Jason, thinking this is a bird pun about how he became Robin: Uh, 12 I guess...

****

Penguin henchman: Wow, you really are okay calling yourselves goons? Isn't that like a little demeaning?

Red Hood Goon: Inclusivity my guy -Henchperson is a mouthful, and that way, we don't have to assume.

Penguin Henchman: Oh my god that's so thoughtful!

*they resume shooting at eachother.*

*****

Batman You're not okay Hood, you need a professional. Please, we can help you!

Jason: There's nothing wrong with me, I won't let you throw me into Arkham!

Goon of the week: Yeah Batfreak, the boss doesn't need help, there's nothing wrong with him! How would you like it if we tried to convert you out of being a furry, huh?!!

Batman: reconsiders life choices.

****

Angry goon: *beats the shit out of Nightwing with a trans pride flag*

Dick, a bisexual cis metrosexual: I'm not sure what is happening but this feels offensive.

****

Batman: Please, I know there's a lot of bad blood, but you're still my child...

Jason: Really? Because I clearly remember you saying you weren't my father and didn't have to deal with my "teenage angst"!

The Goons: You said what?!

Oracle : You said what?!

Dick, standing up and picking up the pride flag: You said what.

Wouldn't that have been hilarious if instead of all the Under the red hood plot, Jason just came back and didn't tell anyone.

Damian: I can see ghosts.

Dick: Ghosts aren't real, Dami.

Dick's dead little brother, stepping out of the shadows of Wayne Manor: he's right kid, you shouldn't worry about surnatural stuff like that.

Dick: Aaaaaaaah

Damian: *at night in bed after being drugged up because of injuries* good night moon

Damian: good night tree

Damian: good night ghosts only i can see

Dick, who was tucking him in: *shaking*

*Later*

Dick, still shaking and mumbling under his breath: ghosts? martha? Thomas?

Jason, walks around a corner:

Dick:*Screams*

Dick: oh its just you. thought Dami was right about the gohsts for a minute.

Jason: he is

Dick: what?

Jason: what?

I love this more than the classic pose I think. This isn't a statue in some monument of grief. This is a father cradling his child in his arms, and the child is dead.

The hard truth about autism acceptance that a lot of people don't want to hear is that autism acceptance also inherently requires acceptance of people who are just weird.

And yes, I mean Those TM people. Middle schoolers who growl and bark and naruto run in the halls. Thirtysomethings who live with their parents. Furries. Fourteen-year-olds who identify as stargender and use neopronouns. Picky eaters. Adults in fandoms. People who talk weird. People who dress weird.

Because autistic people shouldn't have to disclose a medical diagnosis to you to avoid being mocked and ostracized for stuff that, at absolute worst, is annoying. Ruthlessly deriding people for this stuff then tacking on a "oh, but it's okay if they're autistic" does absolutely nothing to help autistic people! Especially when undiagnosed autistic people exist.

Like it or not, if you want to be an ally to autistic people, you're going to have to take the L and leave eccentric, weird people alone. Even if you don't know them to be autistic. You shouldn't be looking for Acceptable Reasons to be mean to people in the first place. Being respectful should be the default.
