(This is part 2 to my previous ask, very important!) Do you think it’s ever possible for Jill to be seen as her own character? Not to discredit your involvement, but to disconnect her from her toxic roots? Especially since we can’t use the queen. I’ve seen lots of fanart and maintained a thread of dozens of pieces of it throughout this last week or so, and I just don’t know if I can feel comfortable continuing without knowing if JUST Jill is okay to spread around? I don’t exactly know what I’m trying to say in all honesty, I’ve been extremely stressed thinking about how to handle all of this and if anything I’ve said came off as rude or abrasive I really didn’t mean for it. Please send me an ask with your response, I don’t think cohost has private messaging?
My sincerest apologies for all that you’ve been through and the memories that have been brought back via the resurgence of MJO. (2/2)
i hope you dont mind if i leave part one of your ask out, I have a private response for you too but I can never shut up
it is completely out of my control. if it were up to me id have all fanart with her come with a disclaimer that THIS IS BASED ON AN ABUSIVE DYNAMIC THAT RUINED JILLS LIFE
maybe making something about jill breaking away from her shitty relationship (without showing the queen would be tricky)
the other thing that bothers me is like james harvey put a lot of work into that character design, like its pretty much his character, but he gets no credit for it. AA just wanted bomb jack as a sturdy dyke (me). i guess anna techincally designed jill and HJ designed the queen and thats why ppl cant use her
itd be cool to repurpose the character but as it stands this resurgence is just giving the designer clout without context, and i mean its my biggest wish that she says something about how the relationship wasnt healthy and shouldnt be emulated. the power to change the narrative is in her hands since she has her name on the project
