hi! any thoughts on Jinx and Jason parallels (/nerokchi/767512314557628416/wip-younger-siblings-with-mental-illness-and-an)? or Batfam in the Arcane universe?

(sorry about the wait anon i was actually planning to answer this on nye but then i got sidetracked by passing out at the restaurant we were at and spending the entire following day being coddled by my mother who was convinced i was dying even tho i'm fine, but also happy new year anon!)

One, this art slays. Two, I think there are some parallels, especially in terms of having things done to their bodies to restore them to factory settings without their consent or input (there's some differences, Silco allows Singed to use shimmer on Jinx as a last resort as he's desperate to prevent her from dying, and Singed still needs to sedate him because if Silco were conscious he probably would have stopped it once he saw Jinx in pain, to say nothing of once Singed starts exceeding his mandate which he does I think based on context clues, whereas Jason's resurrection, depending on canon, is either a spontaneous event no one is in charge of or something that is absolutely not done in his best interest or by people who have his best interests in mind, the al Ghuls were not thinking about Jason at all when bringing him back, only about Bruce and themselves in that iteration). But I think there are also a lot of key differences, like how they handle things like trauma and their mental health, it's touch and go which writers give Jason mental health issues and which ones don't but they're largely trauma responses borne of circumstances, while Jinx clearly has some kind of mental health thing going from the getgo, like a lot of people. Also their relationships with their siblings and parental figures are verrrrrrrry different, especially once you factor in that Jason does not remain the youngest in his family dynamic once you add in people like Damian.

As for Batfam in the Arcane universe overall, I think it can work! Kind of like when I talked about Batfam in ASOIAF, they really can lend themselves to a lot of fusion AUs very well (it's why I've got a Stranger Things fusion in the works along with the asoiaf au that's been living in my head since I got those asks). Obviously Bruce would be some rich Piltover elite, top tier though not necessarily on the Council (since canon Bruce isn't in any official government position himself). Obviously Jason's from Zaun, and likely Steph and Duke too since they also come from Gotham's more lower income neighborhoods in canon, and the versatility of Jason's origin, poor kid steals something from rich guy who finds that to be really awesome actually, can absolutely be transplanted to the Arcane world. You don't really need to change a lot about how anyone else came into the family, since Bruce just finding Cass and Damian being his biological son are also plausible and easily transplanted as well. Really after that, the world's your oyster, especially if you wanna add things like Hextech (if Bruce had access to some Hexcore thing when Jason died in canon, he'd have done the full Jayce and used it to bring him back to life and not felt an ounce of second guessing about it, but in a platonic 'i love my son' way rather than a 'puppy boyfriend who can't survive five seconds without viktor and loves him more than anything or anyone and will allow anything for him' way, God Jayce Talis you're nuts) and how that would affect it. Sorry I can't add more, but I'm not that well verse on League lore or even much of Arcane because I skipped a lot whenever my faves weren't on screen (mainly meaning if a scene didn't have Viktor, Silco, Jinx, Mel, Jayce, or Sevika in it I was either tuning out or just straight skimming, sorry to the lesbians I wish I had more energy for you). But that's my two cents on it!
