I will start this message a bit funny. Are you anti of Jatlas?
Maybe I'm writing here, because I want to know that I'm not the only who ship them, and not only them in this whole shipping thing, but did someone ever tell you're sick, you're pedo or you should go to jail? Because as an artist I was called like that so many times, even when I created and published my Jatlas art in the past and even today, because I wrote something wrong to someone reblogged post. People are stiff, or even worse. Some of them really compare fiction to reality? We can be free to do what we want in this world even? lol
Sorry if this ask upset you. I don't want mix you with something bad!
I love these cosplays. Really. And also sorry for my bad english.
Does this look anti to you? ๐คฃ Iโm being sarcastic, of course. No, I am not anti JAtlas. Now, is the ship healthy? No. Certainly not. But I will insert something Iโll be including in my JAtlas story called Fatherless Figures;
(Both references to the book & game.)
You might be wondering why I would consider pairing Frank(Atlas)/Jack. Frank, although involved with Jackโs mind conditioning, wasnโt fully involved with Jack during his whole (rather short) childhood. In fact, so much so thatโs why Jack called Suchong โPapaโ. Frank always had the mentality that he was too good to get his feet dirty, which is why he hired Suchong and Tenenbaum in the first place to do the work while he gave the ideas for them (such as the puppy audio and fake family). The last he actually SAW Jack was when he smuggled him to the surface. (And honestly, I donโt feel (HC) that was fully accurate.)
Again, I am not condoning abusive behavior or supporting childlike-romantic relationships. Jack has been seen drinking, smoking, and having the mental capacity to shoot and make choices without mind control. So much so, it is suggested he raised five of the little sisters. Again. A CHILD couldnโt do that. Jack has been physically around for a little time, yes, but their scientific experiments allowed him to grow faster than the average human body. At the end of the day, I am simply a person who really enjoys understanding a villain (not excusing). Not everything is black and white, and people CAN change even with their worst mistakes.
So, yes, technically at a factual standpoint; Jack has been on Earth for a VERY short time, but at a mental/scientific/physical standpoint; he is not a child according to the game/book. But for people that donโt know the game as well or simply disagree. Fine. Let them. But I find the people that do that; often tolerate ships/flaws I would HEAVILY consider questionable both at a fantasy and even a reality standpoint, but again, to each their own.
Also, thank you so much for the compliment, we plan to share more JAtlas content soon!
