People have spent so much time fleshing out random background male characters and so for feminism I am going to give one of DC's under appreciated female characters this treatment . I am absolutely fascinated by Joan Garrick as a character. DC is not. But who am I to let that stop me.
So what are some things we know about Joan Garrick (née Williams). One is that she met Jay Garrick when they were both students at college. More potential context was given by Millar and Morrison in the iconic Jay focused Flash (vol 2) #134. Here we learn that at the present time she is teaching microbiology and based on the fact that in my experience a specific microbiology subject is more common in university and she's heading in for specific classes not the school day I can infer she is a lecturer/professor. These few facts paint a picture of an awesome and boundary breaking woman in her own right.
We can assume she was in college in the 1930s. This makes sense. After all the 30s was the first generation where (almost entirely white and middle class) women attended colleges in greater numbers and with more social acceptance then before. They became symbols of newfound female independence and education. But at the same time they faced a lot of obstacles , particularly in co-ed institutions like Midwestern University. She still had to navigate her way through a very male dominated institution that did not take her seriously if they wanted her to be there at all. Along with the change in female education came cultural backlash both within and outside the academy. Misogynistic (and racist) detractors viewed female higher education as frivolous, unsuitable for women's 'fragile physiology' and even saw it as the 'suicide' of the middle-class white American family. Yeah these people were the fucking worst. Anyway, being a female student at a university in that era meant dealing with and overcoming all kinds of bullshit from exclusion to outright harassment (even more than it does now).
And then there is the fact that she apparently studied biology (or microbiology more specially) in a time where most women pursued degrees in teaching or nursing (if they planned to use it vocationally) or liberal arts (if they did not). Women were actively discouraged from taking science courses and Joan would have been trying to enter an even more hostile boys club whilst fighting against even greater social pressure. But despite it all she seemingly did succeed and presumably help break barriers for women in science which is awesome.
And we can see this refusal to back down in her personality. Joan's kindness is matched by her tenacity and her 'do first, ask for permission later' personality, which whether forged through her experiences in academic or before-hand helped her persevere overcome the many obstacles she would have faced. She's an absolute badass.
Now this is not strictly relevant but she also knew Jay was the flash the whole time which is really sweet. I personally like to think she figured it out because he kept asking her really specific questions about human metabolism and the like (biology seemingly is Jay's scientific blindspot) and she put two and two together. Also he just innately trusts her with his secret which is cute considering how much secret identity drama silver age couples went through.

Hank puts donuts on his dick and then Al can eat them and suck him off
I'm not usually into food but I just watched a video of a guy seeing how man donuts he could stack on his erect dick. He got 4 on himself and I literally drooled.
Do you think Al would approve?
I think Al could get more than 4 on his

in terms of wild breakup sex I feel like
guyhal would be insane 💖 they have more breakup sex than makeup sex. they break up in the middle of sex and then make up in the middle of sex and it lasts approx 2 days before they're screaming and throwing things at each other. they are a toxic het couple.
halkyle would not have breakup sex. when they break up they will cry and mope separately. their makeup sex is insane though. furniture gets destroyed. both of them are lowkey hoping the other one kills them or like, permanently maims them, but in a romantic way. they'll say stuff like "I'm going to carve my name into your chest with a knife and tie you to the bed so you can never leave me again" and the other person will be genuinely touched by this
johnkyle would not have breakup sex because they would never break up
johnhal would also not have breakup sex because if hal breaks john's heart he'll just exile himself from the corps and become a villain again because he's not worthy of being on the same side as john after he broke john's heart
guyjohn deal with their breakup like mature adults. well. current guyjohn would deal with it like mature adults. pre-kyle guyjohn would not have breakup sex because they're too busy fighting for hal's attention like """lesbians"""" fighting for the man's attention in a corny porno
guykyle also have makeup sex. they break up for approximately one day and the next day they are back sobbing about how they're so sorry and they've made a mistake and it'll never ever ever happen again. and then they fuck tenderly for hours.
alan would never have breakup sex because he is insane enough that if someone breaks up with him he'll just kill them.

Ah hah! The best friend and boyfriend? Also I can send images in asks? did not know this
[ID: Four pride icons of Michael Holt and Pieter Cross, Pieter is sitting while Michael is standing. The first background is the gay men pride flag, the second one is the 9-stripe Gilbert Baker flag. The last two are alternate version where both of them have empty speech bubbles above them. The image in the ask above is the same, except the background is some kind of room and the speech bubbles are filled. Pieter says "Probably?" and Michael says "We have no idea." End ID]

reading the Terrifics... I want to give Michael a little kissy on the cheek. tbh.
[ID: Two transparent images of Mister Terrific surrounded by his T-Spheres. The first image is very detailed and shows him from the chest up, the second image is very simplified and small, and shows his full body. End ID]

When do you think you will get around to updating We Didn’t Start the Fire? Because I really love the two chapters you posted, and I think it’s a shame that a well written story with such a fascinating concept hasn’t been updated for five years.
To answer this question I need you to imagine my brain as a person trying to put out an oil fire by throwing water on it.
#i would also love for me to finish a fic#but don't hold your breath#i haven't really been... writing...#so I guess maybe I'll get around to it when/if I get deep into Star Wars again..?#i'm currently obsessed with lotr. sorry everyone#anonymous#asks

Do you think John or Kyle gets more into the scenario when they try to do sexy roleplay
It's John, without question. John gets so into the roleplay he fully forgets the sexy part because he needs it to be realistic, and it makes Kyle cry.
#johnkyke#asks#kiseiakhun#we all know kyle will ignore facts for sexy times#but not john. john needs realism

We also have to keep in mind the treatment Guy got when he first woke up. The Guardians could have fully magic healed him, but chose not to - they literally say he's more useful this way.
Then, they give him a task to save the universe - a few of them literally die to make it possible for Guy to do it!!!! Only it turns out they were full of shit, and he would have destroyed the universe. And everyone blames Guy for it?
I would be a jerk too!!!! They make him do space community service for things they did to him and told him to do! No wonder Guy has issues with authority after! So would I! Add to that the lack of impulse control brain injuries tend to cause and his actions make so much sense.
It's 4:49 in the AM and I'm having Guy Gardner thoughts again............
It's just, like— I feel like people don't acknowledge how debilitating his brain damage must've been, at least psychologically, enough. He spent so much time in his life trying to be kind, actually being kind, kinder than anyone ever was to him. He worked his ass off and he made a good life for himself!! He loved teaching, he loved kids, he loved his fiancée— he filled his life with so much love because that was what he'd always wanted. What he'd aspired to do— love.
Fast forward not so much time later, and he's waking up from a coma, staring the woman he loves in the face and feeling nothing. Colours don't seem as vibrant, everything feels dull, and achy, and muddled, and he's so jumbled up— so confused and upset and angry. Maybe he feels like he's just as angry and destructive as his father was. He can't get his normal life back, he can't think straight. It's not easy to rebound from knocking your head around that hard— especially when it's not the first time. He struggles with everyday tasks— walking, slurring his speech, the simplest motor and cognitive skills.
He's incapacitated, unable to get back to his job, the job he worked so hard to get. He didn't even have the patience to deal with kids anymore, always losing control of what used to be his carefully maintained temper. He's furious, he's mean, his fingers in a fist and his teeth clenched so hard they might break. All the anger that had once been directed at him was seeping out and he was nearly helpless to stop it. He's irritating, a jerk, a nuisance, a burden to everyone he meets. He hurts everyone around him, people who he loved so much more than he could ever show them, people who never got to know him when he was kind.
#me going on my soap box banging pots and pans together:#GUY DID NOTHING WRONG#Hal had that murder attempt coming.#Guy needed help and understanding. Not everyone being really really mean to him#Tora is the only one who gets him#if no one's got Guy I know Tora's got Guy#etc#sorry for rambling on your post op you said the magic words#Guy Gardner
