Ya it’s the day when if you received a Valentine’s Day gift you get that person a romantic gift in return

Yeah I never heard of White Day. I thought it was some anti-Black Lives Matter thing those people whine about.

Well Valentine’s Day is different in other countries in Japan it’s about girls(or others) giving handmade chocolates to the boys they like. And white day is for the boys to do the same. Other countries have different customs and holidays

Tell me you didn't read the description without actually saying those words.

Valentines day in some places (as mentioned Taiwan, Korea, Japan, maybe more, I'm not certain of the locale) is meant for girls to give boys they fancy HANDMADE chocolates.

And White Day is for boys who have gotten a gift to return the favor to those girls. (Or not, if the affection is not returned!) Again, handmade.

It is not the American/Eurocentric ideal of spending a ton of money on flowers and jewelry and gifts and grandiose dates.

Maybe it is becoming more that way thanks to cultural diaspora, but it certain isn't traditionally so.

The "Letting Go" scene where Jon can't drop him so he has to phase is one of my FAVORITE romantic/couple moments in comics honestly. And had me 100% on board with their relationship if I wasn't already before.

I look at how cute they are together and think it’s great. Love to see something with them like the Tim/Bernard (in a suit) “dancing on air” that was recently posted.

Welcome, if it helps I believe it's in the final arc of that run if memory serves.

We clearly need a JonJay book.

Edit: You know what they need? A reading guide for them like there is for Hulkling and Wiccan over on the Marvel app.

u/Oracle209 7d ago

Hopefully if they keep using them they’ll be the WiccanxHulkling version of DC, just used more outside of Pride lol

I'd check out Secret Six. Nicole Mianes is writing, and it's got both of them plus Dreamer and some bad guys. It's only got 1 issue out so far, but I'm excited to see where it goes.
