I think some people have some big misinterpretations about Green Arrow 71, but I want to talk about what Jason did that actually really pissed me off in this issue.

One of the direct textual things that Jason does is impose himself as a “mentor/teacher” figure over Mia despite the difference in their age being negligible. He’s trying to relate them and their experiences while still lording over her like an authority figure. He acknowledges she’s experienced HORRIFIC trauma, while still acting like he’s more of an adult than her when they’re both just teenagers. Stop referring to yourself like your her teacher jason, you’re not that guy.

And obviously this is partially a writing problem too, they really did treat Jason like he was much older than he was at 17/18. It shows in his fight with Tim as well. Jason never really let himself finish out his teenage years he just jumped straight to “adult man”

Like I’ve never agreed a lot of what people say about this comic, it’s pretty antithetical to what actually happens on the page. But he was being a condescending asshole.

Sometime you all forget the omegaverse has more than just alpha and omega… Alpha Maomao X Omega Jinshi is funny as fuck… But objectively the most canon aligned answer is Alpha Jinshi X Beta Maomao

Can’t properly explain it, but “I like this character”, “I like how this character is written” and “I care about this character” are 3 very different things which may or may not overlap.

It’s 6:40 am and I have decided I will not be sleeping and will instead be rereading Batman: Contagion no I will not be taking any criticism at this time

Modern Wwx would smoke an egregious amount of cigarettes and lwj would HATE the smell… until Wwx dies, and then lwj would light one and just let it burn all the way down just to remember what it was like to have wwx sit next to him.

I do kinda laugh when people who genuinely hate Jason Todd (actually hate, not just jokes) want DC to kill him off again so they stop hearing about him. You do realize the man’s importance to the narrative grows exponentially in death right? You won’t escape him just by him dying and the entirety of Batman comics from the 90s and early 2000s show this. His death permeates the story and seeps into everything.

Making a post about a character you love and realizing you made a minor mistake in the spelling of their name so now you have to go sacrifice yourself on an alter to rid yourself of the shame

Jinshi and Maomao are both capable of very easily manipulating each other into ceasing their self destructive behavior. All they have to do is threaten to do the exact same thing the other one is doing and it works like a charm. Oh you’re not eating? Guess I’m not hungry either! You won’t sleep? Guess we’ll both stay awake.

The Apothecary Diaries end of LN 4 spoilers:

Fans mad at Shisui for scarring Jinshi’s face as if he didn’t literally have a crisis over looking like his disgusting grandfather… Jinshi WANTED that scar. Those two are so complicated but they never hated eachother. To Jinshi his scar is like Maomao’s freckles, a comforting armor.

People focus a lot on the romantic tropes on Jinshi’s end of the Jinmao dynamic but I wanna talk about Maomao. She has two of my FAVORITE romance tropes. Spoilers for up to light novel 15 below:

-“My body moved on its own” I adore when characters are exhausted or in danger and their body subconsciously carries them to the person they want most. In light novel 12 Maomao does exactly this. She’s walking and has “no control” of where her feet are taking her until she ends up in Jinshi’s arms. Maomao being betrayed by her subconscious is a recurring thing as well. Her finding comfort and safety in both of Jinshi’s hair pins is a good example.

-“Saying anything but I love you” this is where a character will say something and mean another, but the other character understands them anyway. In light 15 Maomao asks Jinshi not to become emperor. In actuality this is Maomao asking Jinshi to stay and not leave her… but it’s Maomao so ofc she can’t just come out and say that

Did a study of my hand!

Someone on tiktok just asked me if my post about Bruce Wayne not giving Stephanie Brown a real chance partially because he saw too much of Jason when he looked at her was another “fanon thing” and I had to take multiple deep breaths before responding…..
