It’s… his kid? Like, you can not like your ex and still feel responsible for your kid? I mean, I know this is some scifi nonsense untethered to real life, but Jason has a ton of justified hangups around his own childhood and his father, I don’t know why Sal thinks she is anything but peripheral to all of this.
I mean, admittedly several years of Head Alien nonsense has firmly ensconced the twins as the cynosure of the universe, but still.
But … it’s not, though. It’s the kid of some other guy who’s very similar to him, with some woman who’s very similar to Sal, but neither his nor this Sal’s.
The point I think you’re missing is that he’s only going after the child of himself and Sal. There were other Jason kids in HAII’s army, but he’s not going after, say, the Jason/Anti-Joyce kid. If a Jason/Sal kid is more “real” to Jason than any of the other children of his alternate selves, that probably implies some things.
“It’s RATHER CREEPY when YOU call him Uncle Walky”
“Maybe it’s just that they’re the child of some other me and I feel responsible for their wellbeing?”
… Yeah I’m not unpacking that.
ANY of that.
I mean, I’ve called my wife “you foul child” before.
It doesn’t matter that I was DMing at the time, it still counts dammit!
Sal is both foul and acts like a child when she wants to, and Jason is the kind of posh snob who’d look for a way to describe her like that.
It fits!

Good point.
I feel like if Sal and Jason got back together their relationship could very easily be really unhealthy, and yet I still ship them.
I mean that’s basically how I am with DoA!Ruth and Jennifer, so
can’t really fault you for that
