How bad is Ollie and Roy’s relationship, actually?
So I’ve noticed a bit of a trend in the fandom to have a big happy Batfamily where everyone gets along and things with Bruce and Jason are just peachy, or at least they’re working on it, whereas Roy doesn’t even speak Ollie’s name because it’s Too Painful, and, like…it peeves me. I’m assuming this mostly comes from RHATO, but uhhh Roy and Ollie are basically just coworkers in RHATO, so it doesn’t make sense to use it as a source of Roy’s daddy issues. Also that’s the comic that had Bruce beating Jason so hard his metal helmet shattered, so, you know.
Anyway, because I’m pedantic, I decided to round up some panels showing what Ollie and Roy’s interactions were actually like when they were semi-estranged father and son, i.e. after Roy’s heroin use in “Snowbirds Don’t Fly” (1971) up through Ollie’s death in 1995. (After Ollie’s death Roy’s feelings on him change significantly, and they reconcile completely as soon as Ollie comes back to life.)
[Note: I can’t promise this is every time they interact or think about each other during this time period, but I tried to make it fairly comprehensive.]
The first time Ollie and Roy interact again is in Action Comics #236 (June 1974). Ollie’s investigating a case where expensive photography equipment is being stolen and hidden inside musical instruments, which makes literally zero sense but who cares. He decides to check out a local music festival and who should be playing but Roy’s band?
“It’s Roy Harper - Speedy - the orphan kid I brought up!” It takes Roy and Ollie like 20 years post-Snowbirds to consistently refer to each other as father and son instead of these awkward circumlocutions.
(Sidenote: Roy did not button his shirt all the way up for the entirety of the 70s. I’m proud of him.)
Anyway, Ollie figures Roy’s on the job and thinks “If I know Speedy…Roy…he’s got this case just about wrapped up!” because he loves his boy, but when Roy sees him he tells him to butt out and then punches him in the face. This is of course to keep his cover, and once Roy gets the bad guys to spill the beans, he and Ollie team up and take them down.
Ollie tells him he doesn’t need to go it alone: “Don’t be so headstrong! You’d have my help more often if you’d let me know where you are and what you’re doing once in a while!” (Translation: I miss you. I’m sorry I didn’t help before. I want to help now.)
Roy’s not ready to bury the hatchet, but it’s clearly as much to do with his own headspace as with their history. And Ollie finally remembers the word for “the orphan kid I brought up.”

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.

HEADCANON
Roy likes to call Jason pet names, but like old fashioned pet names (he gives me the vibe of being an old soul) but I'm not saying sweetheart or love, I'm saying like angel, babydoll, dear and darling, lovely and stuff like that and jason doesn't know what to do with it besides blush and hide somewhere.
(Clark also does it, but we all know he does bc he was raised in a farm, and Bruce loves it and answers in kind)
And roy does it in public, in private, in whatever setting he is. Besides the normal jaybird, these are common within roy vocabulary that is meant for jason.
*in a meeting with the other bats, in the bat cave*
Jason: me and roy can handle it, no need to add more people we could be seen.
Roy: you sure, angel? I mean it looks like there's gonna be alot of them.
The bats: *some looking shocked others holding back laughter*
Jason: *blushing under the helmet and thanking that he has it on* y-yes, we can.
Roy: you the boss, babydoll.
Jason: OH MY GOD CAN YOU STOP?!?!?
Dick, Tim, Steph and duke: *laughing like crazy*
Bruce: *murmuring something about queen children*
Cass: *patting jason shoulder for support*
Damian: *looking uncomfortable*
Roy: *confused* stop what? I don't get it.
Jason: t-that ya know what I'm talking about.
Roy: I really don't, darling, you have to tell me.
Jason: *stands and walks up the stairs to the manor*
Roy: Jason?! Jason?!
Dick: *turns to roy with tears in his eyes* I think you broke him, harper.
Roy: i-
Tim: I think the pet names were too much.
Roy: but I call him that all the time!!
Steph: okay ew, don't talk about your sex live please, but tim is right maybe it's bc we all witness it.
Roy: ?????????
Duke: he's never gonna live it down between all of us.
Roy: omg Jason!? I'm sorry!! Wait wait *runs up the stairs*
Cass: he's going to sleep on the couch
Dick, Tim, Duke, steph: 100%
Damian: father, can I make a quick call before we leave?
Bruce: ??? Sure, is everything alright?
Damian: *pulling up jon contact* nothing wrong.
Damian: please do not call me your endearments while we are with my family.
Jon: *who was asleep* what!?!
Damian: I don't want to be made fun of just because you love me too much to be contained.
Jon: sure!?! Whatever you say, honey
Damian: *slightly blushing because he too can't get used to it* t-thank you, habibi
Jon: love you
Damian: I love you too *hangs up and walks back with a slight spring in his step
Out of all batfam relationships the ones that carry more angst and conflicts are jayroy and timkon.
Timkon - mainly because of kon being a successful science experiment on clones. Everyone sees him as an unstable experiment, expects him to snap and destroy the world. They spent most times guessing which personality he's going to have - lex or Clark's- forgetting that kon is a human being with a soul and a mind of he's own.
Jayroy- cmon they are the receipt for angst. Ex drug addict that did a lot of mistakes, hurt a lot of people, had a daughter that he didn't know, but he turned a new leaf and became better for those that remained and came after. But people only see him as the drug addict- even thought most didn't know him at that time- don't see him more than an untrustworthy person that can relapse anytime. But jason also has his luggage. He had trauma of when he died, it still creeps on him in the most expect moments, the Lazarus pit is something that changed him every way bc no matter how much u wanna make him normal he isn't and can't bc that pit changed the way he is human - his new normal different than what people expect him to be - but the real jason (a mix of the old and the new jason and something more) shows up when he sees he can, when he's comfortable when he's happy with the situation and vibe. And they have a good relationship bc they have the same problem - they have trust issues, they have problems trusting people bc for both they had people leaving them (the reason doesn't matter, it can't matter bc in their eyes they left and nothing else matters) and bc of that they also built walls around themselves as a couple bc they want to protect each other from the evils around them
I could write a whole thesis abt Jason and Roy's relationship
Roy Harper is hot and no one can make me think otherwise. He's hot in a sense of nasty hot, like he knows he's hot so he will act on it. Tight white t-shirt and spread legs kind of hot. It's also bc I like gingers.
Anyways he's hot. He knows that, dick knows that, Ollie knows that, Kory knows that. Ya know who else knows that?? Jason.
Jason has his issues with intimacy and sometimes he hesitates, due to that it took some time to realize that the hot feeling in hi stomach was his attraction to roy. Basically, he discovered that he found roy hot af.
Does he know what to do?? Yes, he knows what flirting is and is good at doing it. Is he afraid of acting on it?? Yes, maybe bc of his issues. Does he want to confess to roy and finally touch that piece of hot meat? Yes, absolutely Yes. But will he??
He doesn't have to, because roy beat him to it. Turns out roy likes them crazy, traumatized but deep down loving. He likes jason.
The various stages of roy and jason relationship by the batfam + clark.
(I'm hyper fixating in this ship I'm sorry)
Denial
Jason: me and roy are dating.
Damian: what kind of joke is this, jason?!?!
Jason: it's real, demon brat.
Damian: I refuse to believe that someone related to me committed such atrocity by fornicating with such individual!
Jason: what?
Damian: I think you should start finding funnier jokes, jason.
Anger
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Dick: Wft?!?! Why is my friend who's older than you dating a child?!?!
Jason: this feels familiar
Dick: is he threatening you?!?! Omg I'm going to beat the shit out of him right now!
Jason: stop, please, keep those weapons away!
Dick: I'm going to kill you roy harper!
Bargaining
Jason: me and roy are dating.
Tim: are you sure that's your choice?
Jason: what?
Tim: *pulls a folder out of nowhere* I have hundred better options than roy. Here this one has a pharmaceutical company and is a bottom.
Jason: yall are crazy.
Depression
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Bruce: Oliver's kid?!?!
Jason: yeah
Bruce: *tears up a bit* my small child is dating a queen kid??
Jason: I'm a grown man!?!?
Bruce: *head in hands* my small child is with a disappointment.
Jason: this is getting ridiculous!
Acceptance
Jason: I'm dating roy.
Alfred and clark: *look at each other*
Alfred: is this recent?
Jason: it's been six months.
Clark: does he makes you happy?
Jason: *blushing a little* yeah
Alfred: well then, master jason, please bring him over for dinner next Friday, I'd like to meet the one that makes my grandson happy.
Clark: *nodding* yeah I wanna meet this roy!
Jason: *tearing up* tHanK YoU
Roy and Jason ship is such deep and messy relationship that one day I would like to explore.
They both have issues (no, one is not worse then the other, they have issues that are bad for them don't fight me) and it would be such a way to explore how they handle those issues together. Jason is probably a wall made of concrete that won't let anyone enter no matter what, and roy has tried to jump over the same way some people did to him when he was an addict, but he can't and roy has to live knowing that he only has less than half of Jason's heart.
Maybe one day I will write something long for them
Roy Harper: *recording* so someone told me non-binary people don't exist but I found this in my closet
Jason Todd Currently in Roys Closet: I LIke bread
Jason Todd holding a bunch of weapons and grenades: you love me Roy?
Roy: normally i’d say yes without hesitation but i feel like i know where this is going and i don’t like it
Jason: Come to dinner tonight. I can’t cook, but I’ll bring plenty of free wine.
Roy: Marry me.
Jason : Do you take constructive criticism?
Roy: I only take cash or credit.

“There’s plenty of people on two, sure,” Roy was saying. “Present company included. But three? No way.”
“Think about how many people have shared teams with them. If those other teams are anything like the Titans, someone surely has.” Kory’s tone was light, as if stating the obvious.
Jason ground his teeth and seriously considered the merits of another few hours in the supply closet.
Or: Roy, Kory and friends inflict immeasurable psychic damage upon one Jason Todd. If Jason has to hear another word about sex and his siblings uttered in the same breath, he’s gonna start shooting. Maybe himself. Anything to exit this conversation.
Chapter 3 Notes:
I am once again a lying liar who lies. This fic grew two extra chapters against my will. I don’t want to talk about it.
In other news…I used to think having two blorbos who don’t much like each other was a curse. This chapter taught me the error of my ways. Have fun!
