Okay, let’s count the ways Act 3 drummed home Silco’s dedication to Jinx (in a really twisted way).
1.) Doesn’t take it personally when Jinx tortured him a little
2.) Has to be drugged by Singed because even Singed knows Silco could never watch Singed do what is necessary to Jinx
3.) Reaction of horror when he sees injured Jinx
4.) Stares down Vi on the bridge as he carried Jinx off
5.) Desperate to save Jinx’s life
6.) Willing to listen to and take actual useful advice from Sevika to give Jinx some space/makes an attempt to trust his relationship with Jinx
7.) Was ready to turn himself in to jail in Jinx’s place when he makes a deal with Jayce
8.) Has faith that Jinx is strong enough to survive the procedure.
9.) Threatens Singed with a knife when he wakes up and doesn’t know what happened to Jinx
10.) Finally starts to have more sympathy for Vander, the man he hates because of how he feels about Jinx vis a vis how Vander felt about his daughters
11.) Fiercely sides with Jinx’s new identity, the one that Jinx sends up deciding it the real her/is more the real her
12.) Credibly says that he would have turned down Jayce’s proposal because he would never turn her over
13.) Struggles desperately to free himself and shoots at VI imo arguably because yes he is also “competing” with Vi, but also because it appears Vi’s words are hurting Jinx
14.) His words are the ones that echo with her as she does her first big dramatic deed as Jinx (imo kind of like Vander’s “You have a good heart” ended up informing Vi’s journey, Silco’s “We’ll show them all” is that for Jinx’s journey)
15.) Oh right USING HIS DYING WORDS TO COMFORT THE PERSON WHO KILLED HIM
BTW, it’s one of those irony things that at least one of the things Jinx accused him of, that he knew all along that Vi was alive wasn’t true. He really wasn’t lying to her about that, Marcus had told him that Vi was dead. However, the other part of Jinx’s complaint that he tried to keep Vi and Jinx apart after he found out about Vi being alive is still true.
(note just because he really did love her in his own value system doesn’t change that he is still a pretty unhealthy individual about himself, ie clearly has deep insecurities about Jinx leaving him or getting hurt and very quickly falls back on fanning her insecurities)

Don’t mind me I’m just ill thinking about Dick getting so protective of Jason he started beating the shit out of someone with his bare hands until Tim has to pull him off.
Dick beating Bruce for drugging Jason with evil fear gas in Batman 138
Dick beating the Joker for Jason in Batman: Last Laugh
You just know he picked that up from Jason.
jason will always bring so much comfort to me, like the man canonically protects civilians, isn't afraid to show emotions, isn't afraid to show that he cares. he's incredibly clever and meticulous, dorky at times. in a family of pretenders, brought up by a man who would rather die than show emotions and an older brother figure fixated on perfection, jason still shows vulnerability. he chases justice and closure, he gives voice to victims and survivors. beneath the scary exterior and false rumors of mindless rage is a person who, without any doubt in my book, is good, is caring, and is deserving of having that care be returned.
"It's meaningless"

been thinking about them a lot lately
Wow, okay, I thought it was going to turn out that Zur was largely in control of Bruce's actions during Gotham War hence the whole Jason thing, but both Bruce and Zur confirmed Bruce's actions weren't Zur's doing.
DC cannot make him do something so incredibly unethical and then try to pass him off as this loving father who only wants what's best for Jason. I mean, sure, the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and Bruce obviously views what he did as an act of love, but if you play a card like that, you damn well better show the repercussions of it, which would be Jason cutting ties with Bruce completely and forever.
But nooo. You know what they made Jason do after all this? Offer Bruce emotional support after Selina "died." Get bent. They should've had Jason walk over to the pit looking distressed over Selina's fall, had Bruce try to put his hand on Jason's shoulder, and then had Jason smack Bruce's hand off with a, "Don't you ever touch me again you piece of shit."
Like fuck! Where's the lingering feeling of betrayal?! The lack of trust?! Don't give me this "you did a terrible thing to me, and I haven't had any time to process it, but I still care about you and love you, so I'm here for you" type of bullshit. Siiigh. I'm so tired.

I'm so fascinated (respectfully) by people who experience sexual attraction.
That's wild, you were just going about your business one day and what? The puberty fairy gave you an intense desire to kiss some thighs? You looked around and saw a bum and were like 'nothing would bring me greater pleasure than to grab that bum' It sounds made up.
Artemis: What is the point of other people if not to mock them?
Jason: You know Artie, I’m starting to see why people think you’re an asshole.
Artemis: People think I’m an asshole?
Artemis: Good...
