Has Jay considered signing up for an online dating profile like his comic alter ego?

Jason: Absolutely not. One, even if I was interested, I can't drag people into this. Two, I've seen the Internet.

Antoine: For the last time, that wasn't supposed to happen.

Jason: But it did!

Antoine: We were literally holding a major city hostage, excuse me for not thinking that would happen!

Jimmy: God, I love my job.

As someone who was raised with shitty religious beliefs, as someone who basically had to deprogram themself, as someone who made a choice to be kind and supportive to people who got out of cults, I loathe the idea that once people join the Precursors, hivemind, or whatever, their lives are essentially over, that even if they do escape they still have to die because... reasons. It bugged me when it happened to Brina Travis in Pacific Rim: The Black, and I'm not exactly thrilled to see Steven DeKnight tweeting how he'd love to do it with Newt Geiszler.

As a queer person, I really extra hate the idea of a queer character getting literally taken over by aliens, and then having to die to "atone" for something he wasn't even responsible for. It's a gross failure to understand the concept of culpability, which is a key element in any sort of fair justice system; which makes it one of the shittiest reasons to kill a queer character ever. (Of course, it's a shitty reason to kill any character.)

It kinda makes me wonder how Steven DeKnight sees a person like me, a person who worked hard to get out of some awful bullshit, who occasionally still struggles with things I never asked to be put into my brain - what does he think of my existence? Does he think I need to "atone" for things I had no control over?

I wish I could get people like DeKnight to understand that stories about gay characters like this aren't deep; they're just heartless. They're not profound; they just send an awful message about who needs to die so the rest of society can live.

My fanfics feature a number of people who work with the Precursors/Masters, and I have very deliberately chosen to depict them as people who joined their side for very human reasons. They're there for the same reason anyone might be in a cult, whether that cult is religious, financial, or whathaveyou. Some of them are more complicit in doing harm than others. Some will never give up the cause, and would therefore never be safe to let loose in society at large. There are others in my fanfic world who will one day realize that they were basically scammed, leave the cult, and live with the regret of having chosen a wrong side. I they have a lot of reparations to do. But I also believe that self-improvement is a human right.

And I suppose it goes without saying that my fics feature a lot of queer people who get up to all kinds of shenanigans and also live, because fuck you is why. Hell, I have an OC who figured out how to psychically connect with the hivemind, chatted with the Precursors/Masters, and figured out on his own that they were kinda full of shit, because sometimes you talk to somebody offering you something awesome and you realize that things don't add up.

I'm just... tired tonight, and I'm so tired of queer people and abuse survivors getting thrown under the bus for cheap Hollywood drama.

i was gonna go on a rant about how i really actually kind of hate that zoom kids traffic school tweet but then i saw an illustration of a teddy bear hung up by it's ears on a clothes line and then i didn't feel like it anymore but i apparently am finding it necessary to inform everyone about the whole thought process anyways

First of all: I love Anon. I’ve sent you so much crap. (Sorry)

Second of all, thank you very much for writing your content, because whenever I go looking for Jason stuff it’s always “Jason x Reader”, and I just wanna torture the guy, yknow?

Third of all, was reading a thing where the bats read fanfic about them, and it reminded me of the Tweet fic, and I have no doubt that somewhere in that universe is a rated E (NOT for everyone) BatKnight enemies to lovers fic, and that must haunt everyone who knows the truth of their relationship.

Aww, thanks! And yeah...like. To each their own. Write for yourself. I just don't wanna be involved. I died enough times in Choose Your Own Adventure (oof, being burnt at the stake...uh-uh) to not wanna go through that again. :/

Jason: Whyyyyyyyyyyy meeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Antoine: Look. For the last time. That. Was. An accident. There were bombs in the road. We'd forced an emergency evac. We'd threatened the United States Military. I think a drone ran over a cop car with the cop inside. I know two more dumbasses got blown up fucking with one of the APCs. I didn't think that would happen.
