We need to collectively stop apologizing for the feral beasts we become when we see men with slutty waists and bad attitudes. I’m sorry.

What's so fun about BruJay as a ship is Jason's sheer obsessive devotion to Bruce. Jason is possessive over Bruce, to the point he doesn't care about the deaths of others so long as he has Bruce's attention. A part of the UTRH arc this isn't talked about enough is that Bludhaven fucking explodes mid-way and Jason won't let Bruce see if Dick is alive.

A lot of discussion about UTRH paints Jason as this anger-driven cold, calculating machine up against Bruce when it's so clear that his love for Bruce is what drives him at his root, even if he won't acknowledge it. He says it himself, he would've done anything if it was Bruce who'd died instead of him and his anger is rooted in that possessive devotion not being reciprocated.

BruJay as a ship always to be, to some level, unrequited. Even if Bruce loves Jason back in that way, he'll never be that obsessed with Jason. Jason will always view Bruce's love for Dick or Tim to be a distraction, proof that Bruce isn't dedicated enough to him. Jason has the need to always have Bruce's attention, even when it could come at the cost of Bruce's other loved ones. Something something cannibalism as a metaphor for love in how Jason wants to consume Bruce's whole existence. He can't let Bruce leave him again, can't let Bruce love or grieve anyone else. Forcing Bruce to choose between Jason and the Joker isn't just about confronting Jason's killer, it's about confronting the other person who exists as this duality with Bruce and consumes so much of Bruce's life. That's the role Jason wants to fill, calling himself Red Hood and forcing Bruce to look at what he's become. But still loving Bruce and wanting more than anything for Bruce to reciprocate that love in the way that Jason understands. I just think it's good soup and rife with Dynamics that are underexplored with them.

gotta ask bout jakehal just gotta ahdjjf
oooh oh you've stepped on the Words Button right there
boutta infodump the shit outta this one buckle up mothers and fuckers
love jakehal. top 10 ships that would obliterate dirk strider. concept of them makes me want to stick my head in a microwave. in a good way!! in canon, it's an Oh Man This Will Not End Well to me; jake spends a lot of the plot seeing hal as an annoyance, something dirk uses to blow people off, then as an emotional crutch, and like man that post you made about them? im not sure if i reblogged it yet but i screamed. because yeah. id go fucking apeshit too if i got treated like that. even if hal loves jake, it's kinda fucking hard to just forgive and forget 3 years of belittlement y'know. i think the worst part is he just might.
also a cup and a half of crack is mandatory. i cannot explain why. you cannot take them completely seriously. ever. it's part of what makes them work
if jake for some reason ever pursued hal, a lot of the time it hits me as being a bad attempt at coping. or a rebound situation, which is even worse because haha used like a tool. hah. they need Specific Circumstances to make them end in anything but a pile of burning scrap, the kind that forces them to confront their treatment of each other, and that's 1) hard 2) the first of many, many steps, for both of them. it's not a pretty sight. but it's one i love to see, in either direction [:
and then, turnabout jakehal. now that changes the fucking game.
i needed to make a bingo specifically for them because hoooh man turnabout jakehal. ho man. y'know there just something about being stuck on a ship for 3 years with the autoresponder of your best friend who you've recently been forced to acknowledge is a person that originated from said best friend, one that you may have been treating pretty shittily. and you can't run away from that. im aware im mostly focusing on jake's pov here but that's because i genuinely sobbed the last time i tried to think too hard about hal and im trying to stay coherent here
i keep a very specific scene of them in my head: sitting on top of the ship, looking at the infinite timelines whizzing by, and just. talking. about this. about hal being dirk's autoresponder. about whether jake just sees him as a shittier, less real version of dirk. about what hal's deal with jake is in the first place. i think about them. awkward kids working it out. they drive me nuts. i love this au, i love them :DD

i never bothered to post anything here before now, but this cannot wait.
*rams desk* LACTIC ACID.
THIS FUCKER
called THIS (and i hope this is the right diagram. Might not be i’m too mad to double check)
LACTIC ACID.
LACTIC. FUCKING ACID.
Now, I won’t say I blame him. After discovering it from its presence in sour milk, it makes PERFECT sense to name it after milk.
But now... Ohhhh, now we know. Now we know that it is the chemical in the MUSCLES responsible for ENABLING ANAEROBIC METABOLISM of GLUCOSE. It has NO CONNECTION to ANY OF THE OTHER “LACT” PROCESSES OR CHEMICALS. IT IS NOT LACTOSE. IT IS NOT LACTATION. YET WE CONTINUE TO CALL IT LACTATE. LACTATE! WHY?? WHY WOULD WE CONTINUE THIS FARCE? THIS ATROCITY?
I am dedicating my LIFE to becoming a well-respected and world-renowned scientist in this field. I’m gonna GO TO COLLEGE. I’m gonna CHANGE THE WORLD. And when the time comes that I have created a solution to some great problem, and the world begs me to provide it... I will deliver my ultimatum.
Rename. Lactic. Acid.
