#SOKE

[ultfreakme]

A Jayjon presentation for anyone who's new to Jon and Jay from a fan <3

[kimbapisnotsushi]

just imagine like. you're seventeen and desperate and angry and hurting for the truth. you're largely underground and unheard of and you have no power other than slapping on a mask and telling the truth over and over again, hoping that someone will hear. and you will NEVER, not in a MILLION YEARS, guess who DID hear! because the next day superman—not THE superman, it's his really cute son who you met literally a few days ago when he saved you from being shot, and you still have his fake hair—shows up in metropolis lugging a boat full of refugees that you thought would die out in the ocean because no country would dare go looking for them. and he burns the handcuffs off of them, and demands that they be treated with kindness and compassion, and doesn't seem to give a damn about how many international laws he just fucked up. like, wow.

and then you go to talk to him and tell him who you are and oh my god you're FLIRTING with superman. over his fake hair. and when you call him to protect a protest he comes right away, and he stands at the front, eyes blazing, and tells the police to ARREST HIM TOO? so THEN you go to bail him out and meet his dad (actual superman, but whatever) who invites you to dinner. and you get to meet LOIS FUCKING LANE. YOUR HERO. you then embarrass yourself in front of lois lane. the house explodes. superman ( jon, not clark) flies off to confront the guy who almost killed his entire family, and who also happens to be the evil president that overtook your country. superman comes back different. you watch through dimly-lit screens as he runs himself ragged all over the earth trying to save people. burning out like a dying star. he's got the weight of the world on his shoulders, you think. so you have him brought back to your dark apartment, a space just for you and now him, but not "him" as in "superman", it's "him" as in "jon kent"—because you're the one person he never has to worry about, and you want him to know that. he doesn't have to be superman with you. he can just be jon, and jon is beautiful and bright and everything you dreamed of.

"you've got the world," you say. "i've got you."

and hoLY SHIT YOU'RE KISSING HIM. YOU'RE KISSING JON KENT. AND HE LOOKS REALLY, REALLY HAPPY ABOUT IT. HOLY SHIT. you know, at this moment, that you trust this boy with your life. you're going to take on president bendix together and you're going to save your people. and so you make a whole plan that even ROBIN gets involved in (and holy shit you meet robin!! robin almost DECKED you!! and seems to like you? and approves of your relationship with jon?) and set sail for home. jon carries you into the sky. he doesn't want to drop you; you can see it on his face. it's cute. superman is used to catching people, after all, so you smile and let yourself fall. you'll see him on the other side. you believe in him. you have hope, for once in your life. you know he's right by your side. you know he'll be there when you call.

you love him.

and suddenly the battle is over, it's done with, bendix is gone and your people are free and you get to introduce jon to your mother! it's the best day of your life. but when you look around, you see that everyone is watching you. the whole world is, probably. they'll know who you are. they'll know who jay nakamura is.

you don't care. the truth doesn't have to hide anymore. and what is the truth, after all this time? what does jay nakamura have to tell the world?

jon takes your hand. you kiss him, and the truth is that you never want to stop.

why did i just read somebody theorizing? headcanoning? i don't even know? that jay is a substitute for damian in superman: son of kal-el. proof: they're the same height and john timms has same face syndrome. soke is about the liberation of jay's home. he's the story's deuteragonist. there's no way he was supposed to be or even inspired by damian. damian doesn't have a patent on playful ribbing and being snarky. please use your heads.

I’m convinced that Lois has like 2482905252094 plans to fuck up Lex Luthor’s life before he even says anything. You thought Batman had contingency plans? She has contingency plans for her contingency plans. She had a whole ass binder of instructions in case she’s ever unable to personally kick his ass.

I mean, when she shows up to Lex’s “Superman is a murderer!” press conference with the fake lasso of truth? She had that shit ready to go INSTANTLY. She was READY. (referenced pages under the cut)

(also “Well, I guess this is my podium now” might be my new favorite comic line)

I also think that in the case of her untimely demise, she’s prepared an ever-growing compilation of evidence and reports on and against the crimes of Luthor and every other bitch who’s fucked with her family for Oracle to release to every major news network.

Tl;dr: I’ve read like 3 Superman comics and Lois Lane has firmly cemented herself as the baddest bitch I’ve ever seen

The barn swallow and the dove. Birdies on power lines

can you imagine how batshit jay's pov of son of kal-el probably was

[saturniiids]

[fae-morrigan]

how different do you think soke would be if jay didn’t have powers? or if the story would’ve happened at all

Honestly, I think Jay would've still done everything he did for The Truth if he didn't have powers, I think it would've just been a matter of the finale that would change. Without his powers, they don't get the shield down, and would have to find another way- but Jay's good at creative solutions.

I think if Jay didn't have powers, he'd also probably be much more apparently skilled at hand-to-hand. Probably would've taken more pointers from Chaos Kitten and Thylacine, and I think we would've seen that particular duo be the main revs supporting cast in place of Aerie and Wink.

Also, of course: Jay with no powers means Jon is FAR more protective of him. And he's already pretty dang protective!

jay lives rent free in my mind
