The weirdly competent Doctor

So! The Watchtower's Medical Bay is a hub of constant Activity. With the number of Heroes who work under the Justice League, there are always injuries, health check-Ups, and illnesses that need healing.

But with the amount of Variant Biologies that those Heroes have, it's always a guessing game as to how to help them best. Some Metahumans react positively to penicillin, but others react like it's their Kryptonite. Some Aliens have anatomy similar to Humans, others are so different you can't tell the Stomach from the Bladder.

So when they hired a New Doctor for the Medical Bay, they had to run him through an entire Course on Variant Biologies and how best to treat specific Heroes. It was long and difficult to remember fully, but it was necessary for him to know.

But then the new Doctor started correcting Them.

"Actually, Martian's react better to the Syrup of Eucalyptus Plants better than Penicillin, since Eucalyptus is very similar to a medicinal plant from Mars which they used in many of their antibiotics."

"I don't think just pumping double doses of sedative is the best way to calm down a Speedster, that could have adverse effects on their body. Perhaps try Psychic Intervention? Their minds move a Mile a Second, but if you can calm them down their bodies will follow suit."

"Of course you use Micro-Doses of Kryptonite to operate on Superman! What else would you do?! I don't know, maybe ask JLD to enchant your Equipment to make use of Kryptonian suseptiblity to Magic? The Kryptonite is just gonna give him Cancer!"

Of course the Doctors didn't take kindly to being rudely corrected by a newbie, and Fired him on his first day.

Then a few days later their usual Treatments don't work, and they decide to give those strategies the Quack Doctor gave them out of desperation.

And Lo and Behold, they work! Martian Manhunter is fully healed and feels much better than the previous times he has needed surgery. Apparently they used a different Antibiotic that worked better with his Biology. Which was incredible, how had they figured it out?

Another Doctor you say? One who was experienced on Martian Biology and Medicinal History? He would very much like to meet with the man!

...

What do you mean you fired him for talking back?!

First have a Chris as a glowy confused secretary bird. I just think he's neat. X3

Next, have a MerMartin. I dreamed a villain wanted to use the creature power suits to show off at their freakshow with other "weird" animals, so they went to Zach for his disruptors and Martin got turned into half a goldfish by accident and became an instant hit being a cryptid and all. Too late for mermay I suppose. Might play around with this one.....

i love hot jon but specifically the part where he’s not appealing to anyone and yet he’s appealing to. everyone . like season one is the most put together he looks and even that’s a stretch because she’s prematurely graying and wears little grandma glasses and big sweaters that make him look stick skinny (he is). and then season two hits him like a bullet train and he s so stressed out of his mind that he doesn’t even comb his hair . veins popping in his eyes wearing the same cardigan that he wore three days ago because he’s been sleeping in his office carrying a tape recorder everywhere and he has this odd little creature magnetism about her. her brown eyes turn green in season three and nobody knows what to say to him about that. he grows out his hair to mad scientist unbrushed length most of her shirts have been stained three times over LIKE THIS IS NOT AN APPEALING LOOK. but by god is he wanted by the masses

is martin ever shy about initiating sex with his sphinx husband? like, it's one thing if jon starts sniffing and nuzzling around on his own, but like...working up the nerve to reach out and touch archivist beast sheathe...

communicating consent is a bit more difficult for sphinx jon, so most of the time, martin initiates sex in a way that is easy for jon to decline if he is not feeling in the mood! That being said, jon isnt really immune to begging either...

I think Jmart would work really well in a Pride and Prejudice au bc I think Jon proposing to Martin while insulting him would be funny.

What if Alys Rivers represents the gods of the riverlands (or is a god herself) sent to watch over the land and protect it and it’s people and she ends up leading daemon and aemond to their own destruction to pay for the pain and destruction they inflicted on the riverlands?

ive been trying for 30 mins to write a post about why the Web's plan is still confusing, but I think I should face the truth and admit to myself that it's not that it makes no sense, it's just... so convoluted

We need to talk about the anchovy scene in Goncharov and how brilliant it truly is.

Anchovies are not your typical aphrodisiac, in fact, I would say they are viewed in quite the opposite way. But what Goncharov (1973) does brilliantly, in the infamous homoerotic anchovy scene, subverts our expectations about cinematic depictions of romantic love. By doing so in a homoerotic context, the scene becomes inherently queer-coded within the text as the viewer’s expectations are subverted. The anchovies aren’t just anchovies, they are a larger symbol of what the film as a whole attempts to achieve: the subversion of Russian media tropes, the mafia genre as a whole, and the inherent queerness of men who wield weapons. When Andrey feeds Goncharov the fish out of a cold can, he declares that they will not play into traditional heteronormative relationship structures. They choose their own path.

It’s truly one of the most brilliant pieces of symbolism in the film as a whole, and really goes to show the amount of care and attention which went into crafting each scene. Props to the writing team for showing us that the largest ally of queer love has, and always will be, anchovies.

the dw socials are subtley doing a countdown by posting the doctors in descending order every day 🤨 perhaps we may be getting some sort of announcement soon

there is indeed something darkly amusing that in this modern era where people will genderflip established characters for remakes or for SF Plot Reasons we at last have multiple tests of the old fandom lament that "It's just that none of the women in anything are interesting characters. i'd LOVE it if this fave character of mine was a woman! he's not and he never will be but in that hypothetical scenario that nobody will ever actually confront me with I would LOVE that woman! SO MUCH! But conveniently alas it shall never be!"
