Orthopraxy

Dear Caroline:

This is a nice peek into your moral self-education, and I think it shows effective altruism (with small caps) in the best of lights, beyond the pleasure it always gives me to see a bright mind being put to good work. Because “a mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge. That is why I read so much.”

And indeed doing the good is also something that requires its whetstone, which is regular and systematic practice until it has become automatized, a second nature. This is a truth in ethics but I believe it applies in other places, too. I usually tell my advanced English students that if they hope to be able to employ complex grammar and vocabulary when they will have to (in exams, and even more important, in the real world), they will only come to them naturally and speedily if they don't actually have to search for them much.

On a side note, this also leads to my appreciation for religions that actually focus on orthopraxy, like Judaism, although this is also a result of my entrenched scepticism of the truth claims of any form of religious orthodoxy, and on my very conservative liking for doing over saying, and of pragmatic community.

On another side note, the image of your blood being employed for a good cause naturally evokes the Greek and Roman myths of how some red flowers were created and/or got their color, and allegorizes very well the essential beauty that arrises from a moral act.

Quote:

Thus Venus mourns whilst Loves her sorrows aid.  Poor Venus thy Adonis murder'd lies! For every drop of blood he shed, her eyes Let fall a tear, which earth in flowers bestows, Tears rais'd th'Anemony and Blood the Rose.

Epitaph on Adonis, Bion / Thomas Stanley

I’m new, I just read your fic about neglect reader. I haven’t read through your blog yet but I am so excited after reading this fic. I am an emotional wreck right now and my curiosity is eating me alive with this question “Does reader know about Jason? Will they ever met? Ever have a platonic relationship together? Will Jason be more of a brother to reader?”

I’m sorry I speed through the fic and tears are in my eyes I couldn’t think straight BUT I notice that Jason is hardly there so I’m curious. Please this is such a brain rot, it’s way past midnight after I read this cause I keep stopping to cry.

major (?) spoilers below.

reblogs and interactions are encouraged and appreciated.

hello anon !! im so happy ppl are getting more exposed to the content i have written so far. anyways, i can't believe i also got others to cry bec i did too when i was writing 😭

anyways, to answer ur question: yes! the reader will meet jason and he would actually be the first sibling you would meet after you have left the manor. the way he would turn yandere for you is a different approach to how the others would be because in the prequel, it has been stated that you had your fair share of encounters with him.

"will they ever have a platonic relationship with him/see him as a brother?" maybe, maybe not. because your meeting with him would all be a blur to you, and jason's obsession would stem from the trauma he had experienced, causing him to be more protective of you.

you're not in your best mindset and you're vulnerable walking through the streets of gotham and all alone? oh god, only a dumbass would do that— but once the red hood recognizes your face and the way you carry yourself so pitiably, he immediately tries to take you in his arms just as he should.

but the moment you push him away? tell him to fuck off despite your drunken state? the moment you cry and tell him you could deal with everything yourself without his help or anybody else's? you just remind him of himself and that triggers his first spiral into yandere-ism.

it's the way you share trauma, the way you both feel immense anger. he should've noticed sooner because you two would've been as close as peas in a pod. and yet he failed you by being a hypocrite. you were literally taken into the manor right after his death and discarded like you were mere trash. he should've taken you away when he had the opportunity to but he was too caught up in his feat of revenge.

yet the worst part was that he had taken notice of tim before he did you, and jason had momentarily hated you too because he thought bruce had replaced him. if he had looked through that veil of contempt that he had for you, and saw just how neglected and in need of attention you are, then he would've taken you under his wing.

but he didn't, and he had done the same thing to you as most did.

so take it as you will when i say you're more or less going to be closer (albeit unwillingly) to jason than anybody else because unlike his other siblings who are bound by their vigilante duties, your big brother jason wouldn't mind shooting any creeps who think they could touch his precious angel.

and he gets it, too, angel— you hate him, you hate them all and that's valid. but you can't just walk out in the streets alone and expect to be home in one piece; so leave it to him to scout your apartment alright? leave it to your big brother jason to intimidate the goons who try to stalk you when you're not looking. even if you don't want him near you, you'll always find warm food by your table and a note reminding you to take care of yourself more often.

it hurts when you rip the paper to shreds but it breaks his heart even more if you refuse to touch the meal he would leave for you, because that probably means you saw him as danger more than anything else. and he doesn't know it, but you're already planning to make a run for it now that you're under red hood's radar.

it's obvious that you have no experience when it comes to living by yourself, so please don't fucking push him away and let him protect you from any harm. your self destructive habits only causes him to become more protective of you and it only lets him stalk you more often to ensure nobody would touch his precious angel.

just like dick, you'll be treated more like a child than that of a young adult, but at least jason has the concept of personal space compared to your eldest brother. but still, jason wishes to hold you in his arms.

heaven forbid if the joker ever got his crummy fingers on you. jason would go berserk.

little does he know, little does your family know just how much they had lost the opportunity to keep you in wraps inside the manor.

they should've never let you out in the first place.

It's totally healthy to braid your hair together and then bond over reenacting scenes from Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi. # Just cute cultist things!
