I'm not even gonna say anything to refute this, I'm just gonna show you what actually happened:

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent #1

Look at him! Grrr! So mad! Jokes aside, off the top of my head, Jay has only experessed annoyance or anger towards Jon twice. Once when Jon tries to bench him before confronting Bendix/taking back Gamorra and once when Jon puts his foot in his mouth after they've both gone through something very traumatic.

Superman: Son of Kal-El #13 & Absolute Power: Super Son

In both of these situations, he's, in my opinion, more than justified to be annoyed and/or angry. In the first, Jon's about to blunder into an international conflict and possibly make things worse for Jay's people. In the second, he's just lost his mother and Jon is suggesting he forgive one of the people he holds most responsible for her death, which, no matter how Nia helped Jon get through the rough parts of his most recent nightmare (haha), is incredibly insensitive.

In both situations, they (seem to) make up quickly. The next time we see Jay and Jon together in SOKE, they're doing this, so there's obviously no hard feelings:

Superman: Son of Kal-El #14

And in AP: SS, he specifically holds Jon back a second longer to make sure he knows they're still in this together, that he's willing to do the work their relationship needs:

Absolute Power: Super Son

Now, "boring" is subjective, so while I obviously disagree, I won't be arguing that point, but I hope I've already demonstrated thatJay is neither toxic or emotionally neglectful. He's a very attentive and supportive boyfriend and often knows just what Jon needs. Here's some more examples:

Superman: Son of Kal-El #3

Superman: Son of Kal-El #4

Superman: Son of Kal-El #5

Superman: Son of Kal-El #7

Superman: Son of Kal-El #8

Superman: Son of Kal-El #10

Superman: Son of Kal-El #15

Onto the "love triangle":

Here's what we have, textually.

Tension, and not the romantic kind, between Nia and Jay:

Absolute Power: Ground Zero

Jay and Jon firmly in one corner:

Absolute Power: Super Son

Nia pining for Jon:

Absolute Power: Super Son

and ... this:

Absolute Power: Super Son

which, if you wanted to, you very well could interpret as Jon expressing romantic attraction towards Nia, I think that's a valid interpretation of the text, but to me, personally, it reads much more as him mourning a person he's barely gotten to know.

They're not "childhood friends" and nobody is pretending they are; in fact, I'd argue that he's keenly aware of that in this moment and that's what makes it hurt all the more.

He doesn't have a lot of friends but he likes Nia. They're similar people, and maybe, if they'd stayed up, if he hadn't left, she wouldn't be dead and there'd still be a chance to grow closer.

He's sad because he thinks they missed their moment.

And even with Nia back now, there's no indication that there'll be any cheating. Not when the same comic the above page is from has him saying "I love you" to Jay for the first time on panel and tell him that his worst fear is not having a home with him in it. He loves Jay so, so deeply and no matter what feelings he may or may not have for Nia, he'd never intentionally hurt him.

Absolute Power: Super Son

Uh ... this one I think I've already "debunked" with the rest of this post. Jay loves Jon, he's demonstrated it time and time again, and if you truly believe he's with Jon just for Superman, then someone's been feeding you bad information. Because I don't think you can read any of the comics he's in with an open mind and come to that conclusion.

(Also, end note because otherwise it'd bug me, Jon's civilian identity wasn't "stolen" so much as Clark revealed his own, out of his own free will. So weird phrasing there.)

Superman (2018) #18

“aegon’s mini-speech to larys listing his new ailments and insecurities was designed to humiliate his character” is easily the funniest breed of finale hate so far. “The guy who gets traumatically castrated as a result of an already extremely traumatic disabling event in every version of this story should never bring it up bc I, the viewer, consider that an insurmountable embarrassment for him and inherently undignified. I’m saying this for disability rights reasons btw.”

[shannonsketches]

just saw someone in the notes of a post say they prefer Trunks (8) and Goten (7) to Gohan (4) because Gohan (the 4-year-old) was a crybaby (when he was 4 years old)

So for fun over the hiatus I’m gonna correct some hater posts...

The (hopefully) last thing I’m gonna say about all this Discourse around the Loki series is that I find people complaining that “the series isn’t even out yet so shut the fuck up about any negativity” are being disingenuous as fuck. Sure, the trailers are misleading and everyone involved seems to be having a grand old time, but people are allowed to say they don’t like what they’ve seen so far. That is literally the POINT of having trailers and spoilers and stuff before the show comes out - to decide whether you’ll like it or not, or want to see it.

So one section of fans complaining that another isn’t happy about what they’re seeing can get really condescending really fast, especially when the (minority of) unhappy ones are doing their best to tag their posts so the (vast majority) of happy fans don’t have to see them.

Why so threatened over people not liking what they’re being shown? Why resort to trying to convince people it’s fine just cause Hiddleston seems to be happy with it? Like, I respect him as an actor and all, but beyond vaguely wishing him all the best, I don’t give a shit about his opinion. Or frankly, the opinion of anyone else involved in the series. They’re not me, their opinions aren’t my own. Just cause they say something is amazing, doesn’t mean I have to believe it. That just means that they think it is. And I am free to agree or disagree. This doesn’t make me a fake fan or someone who doesn’t care about the MCU. If I didn’t care about this stupid franchise, I wouldn’t be on here writing this post out. I wouldn’t be so desperately both dreading and anticipating the series.

Do I hope the series will be good? Of course I do! But I’m not wrong to want certain things from it or to be disappointed if the characterization isn’t what I would’ve liked or the plot or, frankly, anything. (and wow, all the condescension over people wanting to see thor1/avengers/tdw Loki in the series is truly something else. like fuck yes, that’s the Loki I want to see and given the timeline is logically the only Loki I should be seeing. the fact I have to worry it’s not is the problem here)

I’ve been in this fandom for a long, long time and telling me to stick to fanfiction is patronizing as fuck. Part of how I resolve my feelings over potential disappointment in the series is going to be talking about it and reblogging things on Tumblr, finding other people who feel the same.

Y’all trying to gatekeep people out of the fandom for not being 100% positive over it? Makes you the assholes.

Not much gets leaked about what goes on behind the scenes of Supernatural but what HAS been leaked makes it clear throughout the years that Destiel wasn’t taken seriously and there were no plans to make it canon. Jensen has been made the scapegoat for telling fans the truth all these years and blamed for preventing it when there’s a whole team and network who felt the same way about Dean being straight and their relationship being platonic. 

Misha and Berens (writer) concocted that one-sided Destiel scene between themselves. They probably only got round making it half canon because Castiel being an Angel has no established orientation while Dean has been made straight in canon several times. Jensen has been blamed for it being one-sided but again even if Jensen had said ‘go for it’  it wouldn’t have happened because again there’s a whole production team/network HIDING behind the scenes who feel same about keeping Dean straight. 

Establishing a straight character early in a series and not giving him a gay crisis at 42 does not mean that the actor, the writers, the producers etc are homophobic it means that to them it doesn’t make sense for Dean. 

What the show has been guilty of which you are valid for being angry about is the queer-baiting without intention to follow through but I’ll again remind you Jensen never been part of that, he’s taken a line out of script that he knows would tease but ultimately not deliver on and he’s never given false hope.

I included Shatners tweets about how obsessive shippers can make an actors life miserable so if you hear about Jensen being rude/defensive on occasion think about what the man’s been put through to make him react like that and we are talking a handful of occasions in a decade with a lot of positive stuff inbetween that rarely makes the social media headlines.

Also Shatner mentioned Misha wanting canon destiel to sell merch, maybe he’s teasing but I will say ‘Stands’ in association with Misha are currently selling a brand new Destiel shirt and limited edition wings-love pendant on the back of that ‘canon’ episode. 

Finally Jensen is NOT homophobic and the jokes have gone too far, so far they’ve become a rumor that people believe without wanting any facts to back them up. He’s been made the scapegoat, he’s had targeted harassment, his family have been upset and trying to defend him (aunt on twitter and cousin on tiktok) and his name and reputation have been ruined in search engines over a fictional  ship. 

Meanwhile Jensen in real life is an ally. He donates and holds fundraising events for Out Youth in Austin, he’s welcoming and supportive of all lgbtq fans he meets in person and has never done ANYTHING to deserve that label so if you see crap online before believing it’s true fact check because people are making up shit to keep the attack going now.

Last but not least Jensen has already played a bisexual character in a mini series called Blonde.
