Since your post about J/asper x reader fics (which I 100% agree) I'd like to know what's your opinion about Jasper calling Alice darlin'
ughhhh. okay listen, I am a hater by nature. sometimes I can’t help it. and I KNOW and acknowledge and respect that people often use “darlin’” when they write jasper. it’s a harmless and common pet name and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it...
... however...... 🤢
and like!!! I know that I’m in the minority with this opinion! but picturing jasper saying 'darlin' (or 'baby' or 'honey' or most other pet names tbh) gives me the ick. it’s all personal preference, but I can not read fic where people emphasize his ~texan origins~ and interpret him as this bootleg country romeo. so it’s less that I hate him saying the word “darlin’” and more ‘a lot of people who write jasper write him as a straw-chewing thick-twanged casanova’ and it’s like…. in what world is this still jasper, yknow? I mean if it's for your personal fantasies or whatever, go off. but that is NOT the jasper I know and love and I need that man out of my house ASAP before snakes and demons start manifesting
but again: it's ALL personal preference. I just don’t want to read about a “southern gentleman” or whatever all these x r/eader people like. I want a quiet, low-key awkward war criminal. I want a slutty (retired) monster (also retired) whose current job is "hold wife's items and don't kill anyone". I want the man who has committed unforgivable atrocities in multiple lifetimes whose karmic punishment is a goddamn empathy superpower. I want the rabid dog that will go full scorched earth on someone for even daring to look at alice with any degree of contempt. the instant he starts talking like he does keg stands at ‘bama frat parties or is majoring in business at UT instead of someone who spent 80 years being a war machine, I’m instantly bored. that's why I can't stand most x r/eader stuff tbh, but I acknowledge that the reason there are jasper x r/eader fics on this site with thousands of notes is because there are some WHORES in this house (who just want self-insert OC jasper smut). and honestly, good for them.
to conclude, bc this is long enough; it's fine, it's valid, it's whatever, I just don't like it. but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't. remember kids: Your Kink is Not My Kink (And That's Okay!)
