I've only tagged you like once ~~I'll fix this soon I promise~~ but Jaime on Scott

~~it's ok i've been bad with tagging around too oops~~

JAIME ON SCOTT.

So have you ever had that uncle-y figure that you have who is really funny and kind of weird but still totally cool to hang out with! except they're not actually someone you'd want as your actual dad because they're just cool-adult and not 100% responsible adult supervision adult.

That's Scott. Jaime has a fairly good impression of him, as in... he thinks that he's got a good heart and good intentions. On the other hand, though, Scott sort of strikes Jaime as the sort of adult that doesn't really have everything completely put together. (Mostly because of everything surrounding the whole Poyo debacle OOPS.) Scott has an air of just being slightly tired and in need of somebody to be nice to him, and Jaime feels obligated to give him a hand whenever he runs into him because he likes him. And because he deserves the opportunity to have a good day without getting mauled by any roosters.

Jaime --> Shepard?

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO I WROTE A WHOLE LONG THING AND CHROME ATE IT BECAUSE I BACKSPACED.

Long story short: being on the turtle sucks, because as comfortable as it is Jaime can't get people home, can't get home himself, and can't speed up the process of beating Malicant and getting everyone the frick home. It makes him feel idle or unhelpful, and what kind of hero isn't helpful in saving people? Being on Shep's teams, though, has taught him some useful first aid in the time he's been on it (and I'm gonna say they've helped a few folks out too!). That responsibility keeps him upbeat enough to not have a whole lot of bad "oh my god i'm on a turtle and i can't do anything about it" days.

As for Shep herself!! He likes her a LOT, because... she's basically what he imagines an actual put-together hero is supposed to be like, in charge, getting stuff done, not a jerk, etc. He's still having a few superhero growing pains, in spite of his previous success; doesn't hurt to have a good role model, right?

~~also he's taking big sister applications since dinah went home~~

She'll fill out one of those big sis applications!!!

Frankly Shepard would be glad to hear that!! She's super aware of the fact that she is potentially a role model - especially in her own universe, where she's a very public figure. SO YEAH SHE STRIVES TO SET A GOOD EXAMPLE.

SHE'S DOING A GOOD JOB. <3 Keep it up, Shep, little beetles are looking up to you!

kyle ;;;;;

LET'S FACE IT, FIGURING OUT HOW TO BE A HERO IS A MESS. Jaime has role models left and right thanks to Ted and the JLI, sure, but all of them have sort of felt distant or unattainable. Everyone around him has seriously pedestal'd Ted Kord, and though he's luckily managed to avoid holding any bitterness toward Ted, he still occasionally has his doubts about being a legacy hero. Like, he for sure knows that he needs to be the best Jaime and not the best mini-Ted, but when everybody around is someone who Ted knew, how does he not worry that Jaime's best won't be as good as the least Ted could give?

AND THEN THERE IS KYLE. Kyle is like an in-between for Jaime: he's not quite a peer, but he's younger than the other adult heroes, and also a lot more accessible than, say, Superman (sorry Kal!) for relate-ability. Kyle's been in his shoes before, and it feels less like he's being taught by an instructor and more like he's getting tips from a friend who's been in a similar position. He's very real with him, which is really refreshing. An "it sucks and I can't change it, but I'm here for you" is actually more helpful than an "it gets better"-- it's like Kyle is helping to give him the room he needs to have a hard time, to persevere, and to get through it on his own power. Instead of constantly using Ted Kord as a comparison point.

tl;dr-- lanternbro we're the same person 8'(

Because you popped it at me, any changes in how Jaime sees his mom since she's appeared on the turtle?

Tony on Bianca.

And also Jaime on Jor-El ~~not that there's been much~~.
