#it's the very particular sensation of loving someone who is both recognizably your beloved childhood partner-in-mischief

#while also being someone so different (physically; mentally; and/or emotionally) that you can scarcely see their past self in them

#and knowing the feeling is mutual

#and also knowing that the only person who can truly understand the full extent of the change in you is each other

#because their transformation is linked to your own

#forged in and through the unique experiences that you shared and the way you were separated

#it's the idealized adoration of youthful playmates/pseudo-siblings

#transforming into a very different but no less powerful connection in adulthood

#that's what really gets me

#it's just

#anyway this post is specifically about estabalena and jaydick

#and to a lesser extent apollo/nahyuta

#but it doesn't really matter if people tag and respond with other ships

#even the narumitsus provided they recognize that not every post was made for them

#it goes double for jaydick and estabalena tho since they each have two (2) shared formative and transformative experiences

#that few (if any) others can possibly understand

#for estabalena; it's the 41 years of suffering in the dark times and the crystal well magic flowing through ones veins

#for jaydick; it's the experience of being "Robin' and feeling that the role and all it means was ripped from you too soon

#and then it's the experience of dying and your family failing to welcome you back with open arms

#because you didn't come back 'right' or quick enough

#and that you 'chose' to stay away rather than circumstances forcing the issue

#apollo/nahyuta also has the jaydick parallels in terms of bruce and dhurke

#it's recognizing that your very human shared father figure failed you in many ways

#even as he simultaneously saved you in others

#he made you both the best version of yourself while also creating or enabling all of your worst tendencies

#just
