The Fox's Den

roxanneritchi:

Normally I steer away from picspams highlighting a woman’s vulnerability and a dude’s subsequent outrage on her behalf, as often the source material is problematic in such a way that I don’t feel comfortable condoning, even tacitly, the message conveyed. But one of the many ways in which Young Justice has excelled—and one of the reasons why I love M’gann and Conner’s relationship so, so much—is that M’gann and Conner are explicitly and repeatedly established as equals. They respect each other; they listen to each other; they care for and support and protect each other. And notably, for all the fandom’s complaints, M’gann is the one who has rescued him more often than not.

But! Anyway— It isn’t terribly healthy, I think, but I do love how Conner has centered so much of his life around M’gann and it makes sense that he has done so, too—he lives with her, she’s the singlemost consistent and consistently supportive presence in his life, and he loves her—and maybe the reason I love it so much is that it does make sense, that the fastest way to piss off Conner (who has, now that he’s had time to settle and adjust, proven to be fairly laconic) is to upset M’gann. Not even threaten her! Just make her upset. And he knows now, because she took him to task for it (ahhhhhhhasjkd I love this pairing, you guys), that M’gann can take care of herself, but damn, y’all, he still doesn’t like seeing her cry and if he can, and if you do make her cry, he will beat the absolute shit out of you—because he loves her but also because she loves him, and Conner has so few people who care for him.

LOL MY SUPERBOY FEELINGS. :(

Can I just eyeheart this meta forever and ever?
