okok parallels between my two husbands (jason todd + leo valdez) that anonnie asked me abt:
It’s creepy they actually share so many parallels and I never figured half of these out until today lmao ;-; also, spoilers included!!!!!! pls be careful ily guys, don’t let me spoil stuff for you <3
ok so leo was technically “abandoned” by his own family and grew up jumping around from one foster home to another. he’d never exactly had a proper family until chb. jason’s life before the whole robin thing was just spent on the streets of gotham, and just like leo, he’d never had a proper family before it all. Plus, even when they were both taken in and accepted by someone else, it took so so long for them to accept the fact that they were wanted and liked by others. jason’s anger and leo’s pyro abilities are their make-or-break points, ngl.
and then, in the entire hoo series, leo always feels left out and seventh wheels them. he’s literally as smart as annabeth, if not more, but his value is so downplayed that he forgets to appreciate himself. meanwhile, after jason’s resurrection, bro was struggling. he couldn’t accept his old place in the bat family and broke just enough to turn evil.
their personalities are the most accurate matches, honestly, and I love it. they’re literally the same person. they’re both impulsive and reckless af, flirty, cocky, make sm jokes but we know what lies beneath that facade ofc. loneliness is not a good look on my favourite boys ):
moving on. bro??????? the most important parallel???? they both died and came back?!?!??!?!!!?? jason after being killed by the antagonist (joker), he comes back from the lazarus pit just like how leo gets killed by gaia (gaea?) and comes back because of the potion and festus (my babyyyy <33). while leo came back all right and didn’t go dark like jason, it still makes for a huge parallel.
emotional baggage hello????? mfs carry their griefcases everywhere they go, they don’t share that shit with anyone and bottle it up until they find a safe outlet for it all.
and you can just tell that both of them have the same fatal flaw: fear of abandonment & loneliness.
next!!! jason with weapons = hot asf. literally, I would let him shoot me in the face because he looks so fine doing it. and leo!?!?!? bro builds the coolest shit ever and is not afraid to use his weapons like pop off mf, i’m here for you <3 they’re both smart af and so good w weapons, I love my cutie patooties (:
LASTLY!!!!! they’re both my husbands so <3

Annabeth yelling "Let me go" and Percy saying "Never" because falling into Tartarus and possibly dying would be less scary for him than live without Annabeth.
Lockwood yelling "Save yourself for me," and Lucy saying, "No, I can't" because dying in an explosion would be less scary for her than live without Lockwood.

Okay so maybe, just maybe, I'm looking far too deeply into it, but like... Helena & Leon are parallel to Claire & Sherry
I mean, sure, maybe it's unintentional. Maybe it's just coincidence, after all, Helena isn't a child. She doesn't need protection the way Sherry did. But it's definitely there, in the most subtle ways
One of the most prominent examples I can give of this is like.. both Leon and Claire see themselves in the younger counterpart. Claire sees Sherry and is reminded of herself as a kid, and Leon sees Helena and is reminded of when he was just introduced to bioweapons.
Claire's familiar with the feeling of being a scared and unsure child. It's one of her main interactions when meeting Sherry in re2r, she's empathizing with her over their parents. Connecting with her through their shared misfortune of losing their parents (in Sherry's case at the time, it was just her father)
Leon is familiar with the feeling of being unsure and having to deal with bioweapons all the time. Something we see Helena dealing with at the beginning of her and Leons campaign. Mainly during the elevator, where she's hesitant and unwilling to shoot the daughter of That Guy™. He scolds her, in a way some could analyze as a parallel to how Ada had yelled at him when they first met, but that's something that could be saved for a different post
Another similarity between Leon and Helena is the anger, moreso directed towards someone higher up. What I mean is; with Helena it's naturally Simmons, as he's the one who pressured her to allow what had happened at Tall Oaks with the president. That much is obvious, and with Leon, my intentions are much more directed towards re4(the remake, at least. I admit I do not know much of the original...) and the gap between the six years of it. The subject of his anger directed towards the government, for being coerced into agreement to join such from threats. Which is very familiar... (Cough, Helena, cough)
Something else to slap on is the fact of; Cleon has inspired their respective younger counterparts in different ways. Claire's inspired Sherry to grow up to be like her. Leon didn't exactly inspire Helena in the way Claire did, sure, but he did push her to keep going. Encouraging her to keep going until the end, and even then, still encouraging her to keep going.
The same can be said vice-versa; not in the same ways, but still. Sherry was a reason for Claire to keep going and to get them out. Helena, while not really motivating Leon to keep going, encouraged him to try and keep hope. For Ada at least, and that is still going down as a motivator in my books.
Mentor trainee you'll always be loved by me....
The same honestly could be said about Chris n Piers but I fear not everyone is ready for the parallels and discussion in that....

someone write a fic abt fig and kristen meeting for a moment as kids and kristen being so full of confusion and uncertainty—having never seen an elf (still living with/in the “alarm system”) but also—towards uber confident, magnetic little fig running up to ask her to play. two little girls in completely different lives that’ll both be turned upside down years from then, in ways they’d never ever consider for themselves; two little girls who are destined to become (adopted/step/half?) sisters, priestesses of duel and dumb in love gods, and also incredibly lesbian, who for today are just two strangers reaching for something they won’t understand for years. kristen’s parents pulling her away, sandra lynn maybe distracted on a bench, or maybe silently watching her daughter introduce herself to her future daughter. or whatever idc
