I don’t think it’s obvious yet but I’m extremely attached to both Artemis and Jade in the Young Justice animated series. They’re such tragic characters who end up taking polar opposite paths and although for some time it seems like Jade settles with Will to help raise Lian with him, she lets her insecurities (and possibly that contract the shadows had on her and that nuclear option the Light had on her, my god) get the better of her and she runs back to her old life while Artemis is over here taking blows and still managing not to let it turn her into the person she was always told she was going to be. The series did such a great job developing their characters and stories. And don’t even get me started on how funny it is that they both had ginger love interests at one point, but that’s besides the point.

They both could’ve fallen down a dark path similar to how they both could’ve went down a better one. Throughout the series, especially in season 4, the narrative shows us that both sisters always had the chance to be a person outside of their family’s criminal history it all just came down to belief. I love it when narratives do this because it shows the audience that yes a character can be tragic and still have some control of their life and who they end up as a person.

The fact that they always still cared about eachother too no matter how they turned out makes me love them even more. We have Artemis chasing her sister and wanting to pull her to a better life and Jade either saving Artemis from dying or pushing her away so she can keep her better life (after those episodes in season 4 I find it so hard to believe she genuinely wanted Artemis to join her no matter how much she seemed to just try and get under her skin in season 1). Siblings that still care about eachother and aren’t on completely horrible terms despite circumstances seems underrated and overlooked to me. Getting to see them hug btw (AND SEEING JADE CRY) was the best thing ever.

If there ever is a season 5 I absolutely NEED to see how they’re doing even if it’s for a couple episodes and that’s it. I’ll even take a comic or anything after they finally were able to get on better terms with eachother.

I’ll go more into depth about their individual characters and what I find so appealing about them in another post because there’s just so much and they both deserve their own posts on that but they are extremely important to me that is just going to be very important to know especially if you’re following me for yja art cause you’re probably going to see them a lot.

I don’t ever recall there ever being any mention on how everyone (mainly Artemis, Paula, Lawrence, Ollie, and Dinah) reacted to finding out about Will (still Roy at the time) and Jade’s relationship and them having a child and it’s something I just need to know. I have my own interpretations on how it went down and I might draw it some time. If Young Justice ever continues with a 5th season or has any other comics related to the animated series I would love to at least see someone mention how any of this went down because there’s just no way it was taken normally. Especially considering for all we know Jade and Will’s previous relationship wasn’t something a lot of people seemed to know about so Jade just appearing with a child to anyone had to have been one of the most surprising things to have witnessed.

If there is any canon content about this that I just haven’t seemed to come across yet I would love to know because this is eating me up inside. There’s just no way it was taken calmly.

For when it’s time for art fight. I needed some icon for my yj cats

Basically the end of Salvage. Roy is thrown a child and magically starts to fix himself. To this day I wonder how that transition from being mentally unstable and having an identity crisis to becoming father of the year went down. I need more of them

Had this sketched out around a couple months ago and went ahead and colored it

Hi!! I love your art.

Did you have a Warrior Cats phase

Thank you!!💫🫶🫶

LMAO was it that obvious? Warrior Cats was my childhood. I still occasionally draw characters from the book series every so often. My YouTube channel has a few old Warrior Cats MAP parts I did years ago.
