For the ship ask game.

BruJay, SladeJay, CassJay

Wow, that's a lot to think about, thanks!

Brujay: more like ship it rather than not.

What made you ship it?

Bruce takes a central part in Jason's story and vice versa.

My relationship with this ship is pretty complicated. I love to explore it, both in writing and reading. Trauma, codependency, obsession, abuse, unrequited (not necessarily romantic) feelings, on one hand. Fate, going through hell and high water together, being closer than anyone in the world, trying to make the world a better place together, saving each other literally and metaphorically, on another.

When I'm writing, it's mostly the first, when I'm reading, it's mostly the second. It's a good vessel for both types of stories.

What are your favorite things about the ship?

Tragic, doomed feeling of it all.

I love melodrama, what can I say.

Is there an unpopular opinion you have on your ship?

Honestly, they would have been happier never met each other. In canon, I want them to stay away from each other, and in a good part of fics too. If it makes sense, it's also my notp.

SladeJay: I'm on the fence, honestly! I know quite a few great stories about them, and I see the appeal, and I don't even hate Slade as I did previously, when I just started reading comics.

So:

Why don’t you ship it?

Because I actually got introduced to Slade far earlier than Jason. It was Teen Titans, and I just hated him there, and I hated what happened to Tara, and then I started reading (about) comics and things were even worse for her there.

I did get over my hatred towards Slade, mainly thanks to Romiress fic series where Slade adopts Jason. But, I dunno. In my consciousness, Slade is primarily focused on Dick so that's the biggest obstacle for me.

What would have made you like it?

There's not much I would like to explore between them, and most of it would be gen with mostly antagonistic relationship. Like, how thoroughly Slade fucked up his kids - while Jason knew at least two of them, Joey and Rose, and his story somewhat calls out to Grant's. Or that time when Jason was trying to take over Gotham and Slade was working for organization backing Roman Sionis. Or maybe their mutual ties to the League and Talia.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

One of the best fics in DC fandom I've read was them. And overall, I do get why people consider it hot.

CassJay: don't ship it

Why don’t you ship it?

It's hard to me imagining them working together, much less having something more. It would have been an AU only. And it's not really that much compelling. Their main conflict is to kill or not to kill and they both lose.

What would have made you like it?

If they had more interaction in canon, maybe a team up, we could see how it went. As for now...

I can see a scenario where Cass maybe could get a fleeting crush on him, like with Black Wind, and Jason being Jason, he would either completely be oblivious to it. Or, worse, he would have fallen so hard, when Cass took him down and his target - a disgusting rich oligarch trading child slaves or something - got away because of her... It would break his heart, simple as that.

Or maybe after Stephanie choosing not to kill and dying for it, if you put Cass vs Jason in the UtRH... Also a lot of heartbreak but maybe also character growth.

Despite not shipping it, do you have anything positive to say about it?

They would have made a BAMF team.

Since your fine with batcest, I just wanted to ask what your opinion on the ships DickTim and CassJay are?

For DickTim, I like the ship! While it isn’t my favorite or on my top-liked batcest ships, I still ship it <3

I was thinking about CassJay for a little bit, and I don’t really have an opinion on the ship. I don’t dislike it but I don’t love it either. However, I sorta ship it though.. just a little.

It feels odd that this even needs to be a post, but since a popular creator reblogged of one of my microfics and it subsequently gained traction (that creator has since removed the reblog because of this ↓ which is truly OK and completely their prerogative) But in that vein, I feel like I need to make an introduction and make something clear!

Hi! I’m Green! And on here we go by the old fandom rules of ship and let ship (Dl;DR, pro-ship or literally whatever variation you want to call it doesn’t matter to me)!

Seriously, let people write whatever they want. I for one, have specific triggers, so there are certain ships and content that I cannot, will not interact with. Ever. But does that mean that I’ll go out of my way to put down others who do for whatever reason? Nope. Never.

So let this serve as a heads up that on my blog you will find BatFam content. Both platonic and romantic.

Depending on what multiverse I’m writing for and depending on what ship I choose to explore, you will find a mix of content, ships, and relationship dynamics on this page. And for my part, I will be sure to tag appropriately.

I am currently in the midst of writing a YJ JayTim fic. It is tender, it is heartfelt, it is found family, and it makes my heart happy in the way that all writers have felt a time or two when they write something they’re immensely proud of. And I will not apologize for it.

Feel welcome to check it out below if you’re interested. And if it bothers you…? It takes no effort to hit that “no thanks” button and block me!

The Bird And The Hood

Rating: M

Really, I am sorry for the spicy post. I’m generally a very conflict-shy person. But to all my other pro shippers out there, especially those of us out here who are pro-ship despite having our own “cannot interact ships/content” you’re awesome!

I about split my sides laughing...favorite CassJay video yet! (Sorry, I can't post the video! I'm on mobile.)

What This Video says is so true!
