Every time a girl misinterprets Lolita 10 angels lose their wings… it’s one of my fav books because it’s so well written but people often mistake Humbert’s role in a sense… you’re meant to read in the lines and see that he is SICK in the head. From the beginning it’s quite easy to see that he is an unreliable narrator, and the author adds traits to him that makes the reader empathize with him, but he is just a well written villain.
aw rats! this pipe that i just called hard dick like five minutes ago is leaking all over us and getting us soaking wet. will please i need you to take your clothes off right now
I think something a lot of individuals missed, or maybe my interpretation is just entirely wrong, is that Jax is not Leeroy.
So, unlike everyone else (seemingly), Leeroy got his brain scanned at his lowest point in his life. He had admitted something deeply personal (presumably him questioning his gender identity) to his very manipulative and abusive mother. She did such things, he pushed her and ran. In his mind, there is a good chance he just killed her. Then, hes homeless.
Loneliness and isolation are powerful and dangerous things, thats partially Jax's whole character arc. Leeroy wasn't even at rock bottom, he was below the rock. And then, his brain got scanned.
That scan we know as jax. A manipulative and abusive person, who pushes everyone away and almost craves loneliness and isolation, feeling he deserved it.
Jax as a person is not leeroy, HE IS LEEROY'S ROCK BOTTOM
Imagine your lowest and most depressing moments in your life as person. Jax is literally the embodiment of self hate, self nothing, and entering a spiral that may end you. They are not the same people, Jax arguably isn't even a person, but an emotional state.
We see this at the end in the slide show. Leeroy, seemingly, is friends with the irl versions of everyone, (or that's how i interpreted it). They found each other, fate had it. But that's the thing, he's friends with them. He's hanging with them at The triangle bar, run by someone his digital self hates and is jealous of. He goes onto the same bus as them.
Something else to note is that Leeroy hasn't even transitioned irl, where hes in a much better headspace and people he's friends. Thats why i didn't use she/her in this post, because in neither life had he transitioned, even in the one hes okay in. They're just not ready yet and thats fine. Like Goose said, he goes by Lee for the time being but hasn't transitioned.
Sorry if this was a bit rambling, i just wanted to get my thoughts and interpretation out there.
A little drawing of an AU where Billy raised as a successor for the wizard Shazam
Thinking about the parallel where Zagreus got raised mostly by Achilles and Nyx while Mel got raised mostly by Odysseus and Hekate.
Zagreus and Mel casually matching with their Trojan War father figure and their Goddess mother figure under similar domains
My personal love for zk comes from:
zuko: “you saw the good in me when I couldn’t see the good in myself. you showed me light and profound kindness when I thought I didn’t deserve it. you helped heal my heart over and over again. you didn’t judge me.”
katara: “you stood by me and took care of me through one of the darkest moments of my life. it is something so intimate for me. you put my needs and safety first. nobody else has. you didn’t judge me.”
