This feels like a hot take nowadays, but Jara (Jason Todd/Yara Flor) was the best possible relationship that could’ve come out of the Elseworld’s Teen Titans. Do I think the series as a whole would’ve been better without a romance plot? Yes, of course, but man do I love Jara.

First of all, both of them are dealing with the pressure of carrying on the legacy of two of the original Teen Titans. I see Cara fans saying “oh, but Batgirl is a legacy name, too,” but it’s really not the same. Cass had Barbara in her corner while Jason and Yara didn’t have Dick or Donna in theirs (at least at the start/not in the same way that Cass had Babs.)

Also, despite the fact that the romance plot from #27 to #36 was forced I admit, they had chemistry before that. Almost from the start, before they were really friends or got along that well, they had banter! There was tension! There was already foreshadowing for the relationship that would blossom between the two of them by #5. 

The specific moment of foreshadowing that comes to mind in issue 5 is Roy’s thought boxes on page 26, where Roy compared the two to him and Donna. Most people say this makes no sense, that it would be better to make a comparison between Dick and Donna, I say this was purposeful to hint at how their relationship would develop.

And at the end, Yara was the one who was there for Jason after he killed Condiment King, helping him as he tried to figure out what it meant to have blood on his hands. All the others, especially Roy, turned their back on him without even asking why he did it (which I suppose we should blame the writers for more than the characters, and how rushed the entire ending is).

In conclusion, whether you like the ship or not, the writers were pushing it from the start. If you’re an Elseword’s Teen Titans fan, you can’t ignore it. Stop getting pissy when people enjoy the CANON ship, and stop trying to make a perfectly normal friendship a romantic relationship… but also qpr cara would slap.

Now I can’t stop thinking about Jaime Yara and Jason all together 😭 I feel like Yara and Jason argue all the time and try to tone it down around Jaime but they don’t even realize that Jaime loves it and actively instigates their fights all the time just to see them get mad

Anon, you're my one true love.

Thing is, Jaime gets them to fight over the dumbest shit. Who's the best dinosaur? The book or the movie? Is it possible to survive the Purge with no weapons?

How long would you last locked up in a room with a conservative pastor? Best Barbie movie? Mario or Luigi? Are ghosts real? Is New Jersey just a simulation?

Yara constantly accuses Jason of mansplaining when she's losing, and Jason simply suplexes her on the bed. Yara's go to tactic guaranteed debate victories is to choke him with her thighs

Jaime's always having the time of his life. I think he took the designated damsel in distress role.

his way of helping them with conflict solving is paying Tim to kidnap him so they work together. They're all unhinged just on different settings

Jason and Yara would make each other laugh and smile and feel so loved and appreciated and they would fight for each other

WFA fan edit - Jason Al Ghul

Yara x jay is amazing because Jason is a 6’4 absolute brick house and the biggest batfam member, and yara is a litterally goddess, Jason would be the litteral definition of a throphy husband

Yara is so goofy silly. Honestly, one of the main reasons she and Jason work well together is because Jason's a serial moronsenxual.

She's literally in line waiting to gamble her soul to Hades, and this is her way of robbing someone. Yara would bring an unfathomable amount of stress in this man's life.
