He Is So Special To Me

LITERALLY

Matt would be insufferable about being Jason's favorite too.

He would make Jason laugh when he knows Bruce is there, showing casual displays of affection (hair ruffles, pats on the back, a hug if he feels sadistic enough), showing openly that he cares only to rub it on Bruce's face.

In Matt's defence, he kinda hates Batman and all that child soldier thing. So he asks Jason to read to him Pride and Prejudice when he knows Bruce and Jay had plans.

+ something something I brought the other day

obsessed with like, Jason who absolutely refuses to reconcile with the bats. he wants no part in that family and will not talk to them under any circumstances. but he's legally dead with no friends and sometimes he gets sick of being completely by himself and wants to have company. so.

Bruce: hey Alfred have you seen my-

*comes into kitchen to see Alfred calmly preparing dinner while Jason Todd, Killer Red Hood, silently does paperwork while sat on the corner of the kitchen counter*

Bruce:

Bruce: uh-

Tim, doing homework at the table: don't mention it. if you acknowledge him he'll leave. he just likes being around people sometimes.

the bats have to start treating him like a stray cat, letting him go to them and acting completely unbothered by his presence because if they even make eye contact with Jason he'll jump out the window and they 1. won't see him for a month and 2. will start to see a lot more murders cropping up around gotham.

eventually it gets to the point where Dick will come to dinner to see the rest of the family wordlessly ignoring the brick shithouse of a man who is just sat on the floor of the dining area reading a book and he has to just. take a breath and pretend Jason isn't there. calmly stepping around him without acknowledging him. Alfred will silently place a plate of food by the guys elbow while speaking to Damian about school. When they decide to move from the table to the tv room for a movie night none of them can even look around when they hear him eventually follow just to sit in the corner of this room instead.

Bruce: I'm concerned, this is abnormal for Jason. what if he's been drugged with something? or he's trying to gain sensitive information?

Damian: actually he used to do this a lot after he came out of the Lazarus pit. he liked to sit in and watch me train, and occasionally we'd find him sat by grandfathers feet while he ran meetings. Mother says it's important to let him settle, because it's likely that he's simply craving human intimacy on his own terms for once.

Bruce, crying: oh

Jason still refuses to say a word to any of them unless it's in costume, and even then it's the same old 'i'm not your son! i'm not one of you! fuck off!' shtick like normal. they just have to accept him sneaking into the house every now and then too.

one time Tim needs Red Hoods info on a case he's working and since Jason's been sat on the floor against the wall of the bat cave for the past 45 minutes just. staring into space and vibing. he risks sliding the file across the floor towards him before pointedly turning back to the batcomputer, the info he needs marked clearly. five minutes later it's wordlessly slid back, info filled out and Jason refusing to acknowledge Tim's existence again. it's the only way he'll communicate with them.

after a while it gets to the point where Jason will straight up go to bludhaven and break into Dicks apartment just to silently sit in the corner of the room and Be Around A Familiar Person. Tim comes back from his lunch brake at WE to find him sat on the edge of his desk, working through a case. They work in silence for the rest of the day and when Tim leaves Jason just follows. They get a batburger together but the second Tim slips up and asks how his day was he's off like a shot. Damian regularly eats lunch at school on the roof while Jason plays mario kart on a DSI next to him. Batman will be 4 hours into a solo stake out when civilian Jason will silently slide up next to him with a crossword. they never talk. Jason still makes it clear that he's pissed at Bruce. Bruce doesn't know what else to do but let him be and hope eventually, with enough time, things will progress even further.

Dick, whispering so Jason won't pick up on the fact that he's being perceived: are you sure this is normal

Damian: is anything about any of us normal

Tim: he's got a point. at least we know Jason's watching us. I did this shit all the time before I was Robin, and none of you ever noticed me.

Dick:

Tim: sometimes its comforting to be in the same room as people you're familiar with, even if you can't handle interacting with them.

Dick, crying: ok

i just fell on my knees at Costco

i lost the ask my bad! but here is jason for an anon

No, you're absolutely right, because I can totally see Jason thinking he saw Batman and it was just matt in the shadows.

Too much overprotective father tendencies and horns/ears, he confuses them easily. Jason likes Matt more tho, he laughs at Jason's death jokes and Jason finds the blind jokes hysterical.

+ something something I brought the other day

The way I literally gasped when I saw this

There's a reason people mistake him for a dragon.

Cale has so much trauma that the only way his allies can truly help him is if they ignore him when he tries to stop them.

A hardened war-veteran who has self-sacrificing issues and a deep desire to protect everyone he can regardless of consequences? No problem, just ignore everything stupid he says.

Cale:wait no I need to go fight

Allies: shhhh no you don’t, take a nap, we will handle it

Cale:but-

Allies: no buts. It’ll all be okay

Cale:*ptsd intensifies*

Literally when the sealed gods temple started to create the equivalent of a nuclear bomb, Cale was like “wow, good thing I stabbed myself earlier and I feel GREAT so I’m going to try to block this with my shield that gives me major backlash” and everyone else just had to be like “GUYS HES DOING IT AGAIN QUICK PULL OUT THE SHIELDS”

And then Cale was like “why is everyone doing this? I’ll be fine?” And they’re all like “GET ALL SHARP OBJECTS AWAY FROM HIM- FUCK WHY IS HE DOING THIS-? HE JUST STABBED HIMSELF HAS HE NOT DONE ENOUGH???”

And Cale is like “guys, I promise I can help” and he’s like a baby who’s just silverware privileges revoked because a fork and an outlet got involved so everyone is like “anyone hear anything? Nope didn’t think so. Cale go sit in the corner”

And honestly they’re not wrong for it-

Later edit;

Cale:I am such a bad person. I use everyone around me for my own benefit, so I don’t know why you guys are still here

Allies:yes, yes, of course Cale-nim. Now let’s get you to bed before your sense of self-responsibility shows up

He is everything.I would do unforgivable things for this man if he asked nicely

I literally came back to this account just for him lol

He would be so confused because why all these people are following him everywhere, don't they have something better to do??? He better win something if they are bothering him

He doesn't notice they are flirting with him because he could never, so why would they???

"do I like you? Of course, we are friends" typo shit

cale in an otome game

thinking about otome game au where og!cale was a romance option in tboah but is no longer an option once krs gets isekai'd as cale

I'll try. But to add an idea that was in my notes for literal years

KRS uncle of OG!Cale. I only know one fic and is absolutely beautiful.

Relationships I want to see more in TCF/LCF fanfics:

(Adoptive) Uncle/nephew Choi Han & KRS!Cale (maybe Cale!KRS also)

The Choi family (Choi Jung Gun, Choi Han & Choi Jung Soo)

Best friends Alberu & Choi Han (underated)

Grandpa Eruhaben to KRS!Cale, Cale!KRS, Choi Han, Alberu (I need more of them, okay?)

Father/Son God of Death & KRS!Cale

BFF God of Death & Cale!KRS (it would be funny to see the two of them watched KRS!Cale's journey from the very beginning)

Master/servant God of Death & Sealed God (after KRS!Cale had defeated him)

Partners in crime God of Death & Sun God (why not?)

Lee Soo Hyuk & Alberu (KRS!Cale's hyungs shenanigans)

Hyung/dongsaeng KRS!Cale & Cale!KRS (Cale get to be the hyung even though KRS is technically older than him)

The Gods (they basically fight each other like siblings)

Etc. because I can't remember it all-

I hope someone can write some of this- (can anyone tag me in?)

Cale is the loser
