One thing I really do love the Sins of Youth storyline in YJ98 is that really does show how good at Young Justice are at being superheroes.

Because all the adults get de-aged and it’s absolute chaos and they can barely keep their shit together and Young Justice wonders if they’re that bad and the answer is “actually no you’re not, you’re actually doing pretty solid for your age in experience and you’re being held up to an unfair standard that invites more criticism to your actions”

It’s also a fascinating exploration of how adult anxieties are unfairly projected on to teenagers and while they of course still have room to grow and change and mature, the kids are, in fact, alright and actually capable individuals who do need support and guidance but aren’t helpless idiots by any means

This is such an interesting pannel to me because Cassie is projecting on Tim hardcore right now. Because Tim is having a heart to heart with his dad at about that time. Jack doesn't even know who tim is and yet tim seeks him out for advice. And tim drake never doubting himself? Never worrying? that's like his favorite hobby, the man is endlessly paranoid.

It seems like Cassie is picking out the traits that she wants for herself and is projecting them onto her ideal hero. Or at least one she thinks she can compare to, this is still pretty early in Cassie's where she has a hard time believing she could live up to Diana's and Donna's legacies. So she picked Tim who is the ideal sidekick (or at least seems like it) and someone she admires but still can reliably compare herself to (because she knows he's a little freak.).

She's using this idealized version of Robin to explain to her mother that's who she wants be. She wants to be more independent and worry less and really show that's she starting to grow into herself. And it comes across here so well as she was literally seeing what she would look like as a grownup (this is from sins of youth) and really stepping in to wear Donna's costume for one of the first times with confidence.

In Young Justice 98 comics Match replaced Kon for like three whole issues and no one noticed.

From Young Justice #17 when Cissie packs all her stuff from the cave,

Till Young Justice #19

And carried over untill this moment in Young Justice Sins Of Youth #1

The person everyone thinks is Kon is actually Match.

And this isn't a one off thing Match did, it happened again in Young Justice #38 when Bart and Tim left the team but this time he was jokerized for some reason but the girls still think it's Kon trying to cheer them up (cus they were in a war the last issues)

Superboy comes back all confused because he was having a Heart to Heart with Supergirl on top the statue of liberty

Match does this twice in YJ alone. I can only assume he's done it in other comics too. It's kinda funny but sad like no one notices?

we love the li’l hood :3c

losing my mind because the casskon stuff all happens after steph and cass have their brief friend breakup and after cass tells her she hasn’t had her first kiss yet so i’m imagining after they reconcile cass just being like “yeah so i’ve been dating my way through the young justice team” and steph going “YOU WHAT”

well, first of all:

but anyway

young justice: sins of youth #2

Cassie & Tim who defied expectations and didn't struggle for power and instead found balance in leadership. Cassie who looked Robin and decided that was the kind of hero she wanted to be. Someone who doesn't sit around and worries and prepares. Tim who thinks Cassie is the best thing since sliced bread, who goes to her to temper his wild theories. Who he knows he can share the burden of leadership with, who he can share anything with.
