I'm starting a collection of disaster Hal Jordan being clumsy (or unlucky) in the silver age... These are all from the first 5 issues of his solo series, which means that if you bought a Green Lantern magazine in the first couple of years from the 1960s there was 80% of chance to get a GL issue featuring a panel of a Hal Jordan knocking himself out in the middle of grave situations

(Later that percentage would drop, but the chance was always there as Hal Jordan kept falling, tripping or getting knocked out accidentally way into the 1970s)

From Green Lantern: The Silver Age Vol. 1

With all due respect, some of y'all are incapable of tagging. Like seriously, you guys are the absolute worst at it.

If you tag the characters, team or ship that has actually anything to do with the post, that's fine. People get annoyed with the annoying fanon on said post and not annoyed or less annoyed abt the tagging.

But if you tag every character including their grandma (even the ones that don't have anything to do with the post) for one ooc fanony take, then people tend to get very annoyed. Plus, it's technically spam.

what are your hobbies? 🐾

Writing is the thing that takes up the majority of my time, but I also do papercrafting and jewelry making. It's to the point where I generally take my tools to work with me bc I've become the go-to person for fixing jewelry!

Here are the two Barbie customs now in my friend's collection. I'm really proud of how they turned out as I think it's a fun blend of 1980s and late 2000s doll makeup. It does make me nostalgic for Barbie customs even if Barbie nowadays isn't much to talk about as a collector or customiser. But doing these really makes me happy since I think they turned out really well.

sometimes i wish the broader DC fandom would treat the Batman fandom the same way the Batman fandom treats the rest of us

[pastelplastic]

"the batkids have to spend time with Hal Jordan as punishment and Hal Jordan is soooo dumb and insensitive that they all treat him coldly and he cries and everyone claps and"

HAL JORDAN ISN'T DUMB OR INSENSITIVE OR WHATEVER THE HELL YOU INSIST ON MAKING HIM OUT TO BE JUST TO MAKE YOUR BLORBOS LOOK COOL.

IF YOU CAN'T LIFT UP YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS WITHOUT BASHING ON OTHERS THEN AT LEAST HAVE THE DECENCY OF *NOT* TAGGING THE CHARACTER YOU'RE ACTIVELY LOOKING DOWN ON.

IF THE ONLY WAY YOU FIND TO MAKE YOUR FAVES LOOK COOL IS TO BRING EVERYONE ELSE DOWN, THEN NEWSFLASH YOU EITHER DO NOT KNOW YOUR FAVES ENOUGH TO KNOW THEIR STRENGTHS OR MAYBE YOUR FAVES AREN'T THE HOT SHIT(TM) YOU THINK THEY ARE.

ANYWAY,

So lately I've seen a bunch of people complaining about others posting links to fics on Ao3 in the main characters' tags (aka the characters that form the ship). I have always been under the impression that as long as it's a link and/or under a read more, posting fics "on main" wasn't a big issue. So:

what happened to don't tag your hate. that used to be a thing. when did that stop being a thing?
