#i use xe/hir or they/them pronouns for khaji da i realize that i havent talked about blue beetle with anyone but bart in YEARS so

[jaimekhaji]

my biggest fear re: the movie was that they would fuck up khaji da’s characterization / not include hir as much as they should but i was so happy with the amount of screentime xe got and the important moments xe had throughout the film. i was so proud of hir for being the one to remember compassion and mercy in those moments where jaime was overwhelmed with his pain and anger.

being blue beetle is a collaborative effort and you cant have the hero without jaime and khaji da supporting and loving each other (and those around them) wholeheartedly. the parallels between khaji da insisting jaime stand down and spare carapace / ignacio, and jaime trying to save the negotiator at the end of the reach arc in the original comic make me feel INSANE. blue beetle is compassionate, kind, and caring. even to their enemies. thats the most important thing to remember about jaime and khaji da as blue beetle
