âi never see you at the clubâ ok well i never see you on ao3 at 2am reading about the same two bitches falling in love for the 1000th time in the 500th way
It's funny, because I think that Roy wouldn't care about Batman's opinion. Jason already has a fractured relationship with him, and I feel like Roy would loathe how Jason was treated. Jason is the sort of character who is internally just screaming, desperately wanting love but wrestling with feeling unworthy or terrified of receiving it. At the same time, he would have this very closed off and silent exterior, so it would just kill Roy when he understands the turmoil Jason suffers every day. Humbly, I think that the Queen family would accept Jason pretty quickly. At the end of the day, despite all their struggles and complexities, Oliver only ever wanted Roy to be happy.
When Oliver and Jason meet under the understanding that this is Roy's partner, in all the ways, I think Jason would be sweating bullets. He's convinced himself he's unworthy of love, even though he has this massive capacity and desire for it. I believe Oliver would be uncertain about this man for Roy. They would be sitting at a kitchen table, Oliver, Roy and Jason. It's almost a funny image; these rough, intimidating men and Oliver looking almost cookie cutter next to them.
I mean, Roy has struggled with addictions and solo years. And what about Lian? Sure, Roy is an adult, but this is Oliver's granddaughter. And anyways, Jason is one of Batmans kids, isn't he? And sure, Roy skirts some grey areas, but this man is a full blown mob boss! These are the sort of thoughts that Oliver has coming to the table.
But then mid awkward conversation, Jason leans over, causally adds something to Jason's plate. Maybe he notices that Roy's coffee doesn't have cream, and he knows that Roy needs one creamer to bear drinking coffee at all. It's a quiet, domestic habit. One done without thinking, Roy still redirecting the conversation to Lian because it's the one thing they can all talk about. Jason does it with a soft glance, one of those quiet moments between them. And Oliver feels as if he walked in on something personal enough to make the man blush.
Personally, I think this is why and how he would become part of the Queen family.
For Sladejay, I guess itâs really about how well they complement each other. Theyâre both incredibly skilled and shown to be pretty much on the same level.
With morals, yeah deathstroke is a little farther into villain territory than Jason, but still has hard lines that he wonât cross and a strict set of rules/moral compass that he follows, so he has no standing to degrade Jason for his brand of justice, and Jason wonât try to change him or treat him as a bad person because he understands his honour code.
So theyâre pretty equal in strength and morality, but also in that they both love the same way.
Theyâre both the kind of person that, in a âsave your lover or the worldâ situation, will always pick their partner. Slade will always avenge his loved ones when theyâve been wronged, which is what Jason needs to feel safe and loved, and Jason understands that being Deathstroke is an important part of Sladeâs life and identity and wonât try to get in the way of that, which Slade needs to feel secure.
Slade wonât judge Jason for his morals or actions, so Jason feels safe and comfortable within himself, growing as a person and having someone who he knows that, even if Slade doesnât make it in time to save him, loves him enough to destroy what/whoever hurt him.
And Slade has someone who understands where heâs coming from and wonât condemn him for his choices, but will provide advice/support and push him out of his comfort zone to develop emotionally and become a better person through (slightly aggressive) support and care.
Essentially, Itâs Jason (cares for other people so much and just wants to be cared for in return) Todd X Slade (has so many feelings and nowhere to put them) Wilson and I just think thatâs so sweet.
Also, lisholozâs art greatly contributed haha ;)
sladejay is a peak jason ship because i don't have to deal with jason being written off as incompetent or inferior to the bats
his skills are utilized to their max as per utrh and lost days and he isn't treated like a reckless impulsive brute. he is also appreciated and the supposed horror of him killing isnt ever brought up. he owns his shit, kills terrible people, and looks cute doing it. slade's just there to support his baby's rightdoings and maybe stomp on invasive, asshole bats
Idk there's something really sweet to me about fix-it writers. Like, me and you- maybe we couldnt make it this time, but in another universe, a million people saw the pain of our story and are writing us a happy ending, giving us the chance we never had
i wake up and i am immediately thinking about those characters. i eat breakfast and i am thinking about those characters. i do chores and i am thinking about those characters. i do any work, i study, i walk the dogs, and i am thinking about those characters. i go to bed and i am thinkign
