YEAHHH YEAH. you get it!!! there's such a lack of nuance in this conversation precisely because so many people refuse to confront their discomfort and pre-existing biases over mia and jason, who both are very emotionally loaded characters and thus hugely appeal projection-wise for many (especially jason; mia pales in comparison to the sheer number of jason fans who project onto him and have never heard of the second speedy except maybe in a jason/roy harper context). also the doctor light stuff damn you see even i forgot about that!!! shows how little people bring it up in fandom maybe. like that was a lot closer to what people see the jason mia encounter as in fandom than what it actually is and yet i never see it mentioned, damn. you're very right about mia herself being honest and open about her trauma - i think yeah it's such a heavy subject that people don't want to think realistically about a character like her and what is actually written on the page about her, so they put her into a box of "victim" and nothing else, and it's disrespectful to her character and writers like kevin smith and judd winick who wrote her the way they did.

yeah exactly re: tim/cass. it's for the best it didn't happen and that cass was settled in the way she was over time (well, except for the parts like the shit parts of batgirl 2008, which is most of it, evil cass arc, cass getting shipped off to hong kong during reborn era for racist reasons.... honestly most of the way she was settled into the bat-family which in other words was totally happenstance and against dan didio's wishes. fuck that guy btw)... but MAN the potential for mess there, god. also mia/tim!!! i think i had a fleeting thought of them when i was reading teen titans 2003. that'd be fun to explore! but yeah cass AND tim would be comphet the likes of which we have never seen before
