#mia text

[cleromancy]

god ppl trying to claim jasons "we're the not so different you and i" villain speech to mia WASNT incredibly unsubtle subtext... that they went through the same trauma... like he says theyre alike. she says he knows nothing about her. he lists what he knows. and then he repeats that they're alike.

that's only barely subtext and not text itself, man. trying to argue that isn't the intention that jason was also a csa victim is just willful misreading at that point

I just had an idea where a butch puppy is like protecting you saying they’ll bite people for you and you call them adorable and your laughing and squishing they’re cheeks and the next thing you know your kissing and they’re pushing you onto your back

one of the most irritating things about the recent outcry from fake mia fans about jaymia is like. jaymia as a ship does significantly more for her character than the reverse. even just when you look at seeing red that's a *mia* arc, it's *about* mia, it's using jason as a means to explore and develop *mias* character

and when we talk about jaymia as foils, there's just... a lot more of mia that explores than jason. like, the speedy who lived vs the robin who died, that absolutely centers mias themes of surviving the horrors and then living with them-- living with trauma, living with hiv, living with having had to do meth (with the implication that she shared needles) to keep herself alive, living with having killed a man, living with both things having been done to you and making your own mistakes

its also such a fucking... these same people pretend that having horrible taste in men isnt a throughline of mias character. first she has a crush on ollie (significantly older, unavailable, has a bad personality), then connor (an improvement in that he's got a better personality than ollie does but hes also still significantly older and unavailable), and finally dodger (an improvement in that he's not that much older and he *is* available but like he's also still juuuust older enough to be a red flag and also kinda skeezy in general)... like an enemies to lovers romance with a boy her age (because jason *is* her age, hes 2-3 years older than tim and mias a year older than that) would be absolutely in line with her arc to a fuckin' T. and if not that then she would definitely wind up dating an antihero or something, someone else unpalatable and not squeaky clean because that's not what shes interested in

and seeing red is one of the only miacentric arcs that there even *are,* and jason is canonically, textually there to push her and make her think... the fact that these people refuse to engage with it on a deeper level is how i know they don't actually care about mia, because why the FUCK wouldn't you dig into that and use that as a launching point to explore mia as a stand alone character and not a green arrow supporting character? because thats very clearly what it's supposed to be

whether or not you actually ship jaymia if you engage with new earth mia as a character in any depth at all bouncing her off her canonical foil is... the extremely obvious, extremely intuitive way to explore her and engage with the themes of her story, and these chucklefucks CONSTANTLY keep dismissing it entirely out of hand as "oh its just because winick was obsessed with jason," when 1) hes one of the two definitive mia writers there even ARE and 2) that arc was EXPLORING MIA. IT WAS NOT ABOUT JASON. IT WAS HER STORY AND HE WAS JUST THERE TO FURTHER HER ARC (AND WAS VERY EFFECTIVE TO THAT END). LEARN TO FUCKING READ

Started planting some more pea shoots so I picked up a pea sprout and dug a little hole for it when Mia decided to swoop down and take a giant bite out of the sprout and run away happily munching down.  You know birb if you had a little patience that could have sprouted in to an infinite supply of food!
