Spoilers for AOT!!

In Children of the Whales, they think they're the only people in the world on a drifting boat. Until they find a girl on an island with psychic powers stronger than their own (Eren having titan powers) . While they also have powers, they all die young because of those abilities and have no clue why. The twist/truth from both shows is a bit similar, they've been banished from the world for their ancestors crimes. The Elders, (that are like the their council) know of the truth yet hide it from their people. Similar to the Church of the Walls !

The 13 years curse also matches with their own of dying at 30

hehe uh oh

ok like first and foremost donna troy is my girl and unforch i am someone who gets competitive abt my love triangles😛😛

my thing w jaderoy is it is a difficult dynamic to get right bc it’s like they meet at such a weird time in his life and it’s like just sex for him but maybe she’s in love with him but also then she tries to kill him but then she’s pregnant and then there’s lian and then roy’s like ok ur the mother of my kid and yes it was just sex but now you’re like the most important person in my life aside from her and like that’s sorta unchangeable and then she’s like STILL KILLING PPL and he’s STILL A SUPERHERO

and there’s still lian

so it’s a difficult dynamic to write and it becomes much easier to be like copy and paste brutalia

and that’s INCORRECT

however unlike talia when ppl are like jades the victim of bad writing

with the concession that she is sorta bc everyone is

i really dislike this push to purify characters like jade needs to be a mass murderer/terrorist for hire and there cannot be a justifiable reason

like she needs to be killing innocent ppl we can’t just have it be assassin on assassin crime

the stakes need to be raised not lowered

and idk i feel like there’s an easy writing trap to fall into of their issue being

“you’re a murderer but god our sexual tension is just unbearable”

that’s wrong it needs to be “you’re a murderer and you gave me the best thing that’s ever happened to me and i can’t ignore either of those things”

i think jade and roy are the most compelling when no one really understands their relationship

including them

as in their real lives, i think lian is the most interesting/important offshoot of them

let’s all agree for arguments sake (and also bc i’m right) that the whole jade and cheetah rob the justice league thing is silly

bc wdym lian is fine w all this??

whatev im just saying WHAT A TENSION POINT IF U WERE TO FINALLY GIVE LIAN A PROPER SOLO COMIC

like say for most of her childhood jades been in prison and thus, not killing ppl

but then she breaks out (idk maybe she’s like being blackmailed u do this job or we kill ur daughter idk) and like orchestrates something BAD

like a bombing idk something big who knows

and lian is like grappling with this guilt and rage and having to face who her mom is outside of being her mom and is just GOING THROUGH IT

and roy just cannot hate her

like he just like cannot bring himself, cannot separate them out even tho they’re not in love and Lians just like FURIOUS

idk lots of thoughts
