I just spent like twenty minutes rambling about 80s-90s Booster Gold, and then I accidentally deleted the draft.

Anyway, to summarize, he’s such a fascinating and complex character who’s just constantly suffering. Please please please look into Booster Gold and his goddamn life support mech suit. He lost a whole arm and is constantly at the edge of the death. Even before, he’s just a ball of anxiousness and imposter syndrome buried in spades of Charisma.

Also, his characterization in Blue & Gold feels kind of flat, and I know it’s because it’s like sitcom and comedy and all that. I also know it’s a disservice to Ted Kord to kill him for the sake of Booster’s character development, but his death does renew my interest in Booster’s character. From the moment Booster embraces being the Greatest Hero You’ve Never Heard Of, he is my favorite.

#personal #dc #booster gold #he is so fascinating #WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE FANFICS OF HIS 90S CHARACTERIZATION #you don’t understand how much contempt I have for the animated series #for being the primary source of characterization for so many gd DC characters #I’m fucking looking at YOU YJ and your impact on the Batfamily #I HAVE THIS URGE TO SHAKE TOM KING WITH MY TEETH #look I’m an avid member of shipping culture and I have been since I was a little bean reading KH fics on ffn in 2006 #but ISTG #the sheer number of boostle fics that are based on Blue & Gold #both pre-N52 and Rebirth #make me want to scream #why can’t you write boostle fics based on the 90s?????#there’s so much angst potential #that stupid and aggressively 90s mech suit
