Every time I am about to draw Spitfire I pray and send my thanks to Barry Allen. If it wasn't for you, baby, I would not be able to draw her hair. I mean
Yes, it's not identical. But they could be cousins, maybe?
#I remember having such a hard time when I first wanted to draw him#it was a real struggle#drawing barry over and over and over again definitely made spitty's hair a bit easier#I love looking back at the old halbarry art#it was such good times and so fun!!!#so many wonderful memories <3#And Halbarry was and still is such a beautiful ship#God they could not be more different in character#yet I love them both so muchhhh#my posts

just dumping this little doodle here
imagine construct barry slowly becoming sentient but still connected to the ring.
hal shows him and teaches him how to love, but then when construct barry has to go so hal can move on from barry’s death, he says ‘you were a wonderful experience’ bcus experiencing love from hal is wonderful. and real barry was so lucky to have that. then hal goes ‘you were evrything’ bcus barry is his everything, construct or real
#halbarry#hal jordan#parallax#this came to me like how jesus came down from heaven#first post#this acc is just for my art dump but like#old man hal using his ring to create a construct of barry bcus unhealthy coping??..#dc fanart#dc comics#betty and simon hurt me so bad#i need moots to talk about dc comics im still fairly new to dc#barry allen

i need help deciding smth, i finally finished the lineart for halbarry, but at this rate i’ll have to redo the superbat one from scratch. the problem is that they’re complimentary pieces that are supposed to go together, but valentine’s day is 4 days away, and i still have to color everything
so here are my options: 1) post halbarry by itself on valentine’s day and finish superbat for a later day OR 2) wait until both pieces are done to post on the same day after valentine’s day
being an artist with a fair-weather ego sucks bc i was literally vibrating out of sheer joy + pride for my drawings last night, and now i’m looking at them like i can’t even continue
here’s to hoping that posting these wips will peer pressure me into finishing
#danbles#dandoodles#wip#halbarry#superbat#dc#idk if it’s important to note but the pics aren’t gonna be the same post#superbat and halbarry will be 2 separate posts that will be linked together#the issue is that if ppl rb the halbarry one first i can only edit my own post after to include the link#meaning those reblogs won’t have the superbat context to compliment the concept if that makes sense#but you also have to consider that valentine’s day is the most important holiday ever. so.#decisions decisions

✨Incomplete/In progress✨ Halbarry fic recs
I've been meaning to do this for a while and finally took the time! This is a list of some of my absolute favorite Halbarry fics on AO3, with a twist: all of the are in progress/ none of these are complete (yet? or never to be? who knows, that's half the fun).
These are only the ones I reread recently, but there are sooo many good ones out there. I sometimes like to filter with "works in progress only" and it's always a good time, I highly recommend it. Also if you have a WIP you like, feel free to drop a link my way. Happy reading!!
Acinonyx Juniper by ceeloilights
Love me a post-apocalyptic story where people find each other and fall in love. Very visceral writing and I really enjoy Hal and Barry's portrayals.
After 7 years of a mysterious virus outbreak, ex-Air Force pilot and scientist-hating Hal Jordan wants to reconcile with his family but ends up meeting government scientist and military-repelled Barry Allen, who leads a double life. These two, along with their ragtag team of survivors, have to find their way through a post-apocalyptic world, learning how to survive, grieve, cope, forgive, and love, all the while the government and cults try to get their asses.
What an Earl wants by finalfrontierpioneer
Your honor, they are in love. There is fencing, and a kiss on a boat. 10/10.
Barry is new to the upper echelons of polite society. Hal offers to teach him everything he needs to know in order to fit in, and it blooms into a romance neither of them expected.
Steal Your Skin by ChocolateTeapots
We're in October, the perfect time to check this out. I love the blend of GL lore with the supernatural, and Hal being a monster hunter promises shenanigans.
Monster hunter Hal Jordan is out to confront the friend who betrayed him. When he gets the chance for one last, simple hunt, he takes it and won't be deterred by a troublesome werewolf who refuses to let Hal's spectres stay buried.
Every man must build a life (and someday watch it leave) by jcp_sob_rjl_lmep
Slow burn recovery, and Halbarry + Wally family. I am on the edge of my seat when reading.
When Hal and Barry set off on their honeymoon in space, it's supposed to take a month. Six weeks, maybe, at the most. No one anticipates their return two years later. Thought to be dead, their return should be joyful, but they're obviously deeply traumatised by the time away that neither of them is willing to elaborate on. The road to recovery is difficult and riddled with obstacles that, at times, seem unsurpassable. But anything is possible when they have each other, even the slow revelation that they might never be heroes again.
Wondering where the lions are by magnetocent
Getting together, historical AU set in the 1970s. There's grief, there's loneliness but also there's love and anyways this one made me cry for all the right reasons.
Hal comes back from his cross country trip with oliver to what is possibly the most emotionally complicated year of his life. Following hal and barry's budding relationship, from 1977-1979.
Catching You by SweetApples02
Racetrack racing but with wings! I keep re-reading the scene where Barry falls because it's mesmerizing.
Racefliers, athletes who compete against the worlds best and fastest fliers for a chance of being the once in four years champion.
Barry Allen, a name that Hal only knew from his friend’s mouth as Ollie raved about the champion title and the influence “Flash” carried over fans. The racer didn’t have any significance to Hal though, at least until Ollie convinced Hal to help him vandalize the Flash track insignia the day before the first race of the year during a drunken night.
Catchers, fliers hired to catch racers in distress. The same position that Hal was forced to pretend to be in when he awoke the next day in the stadium.
Waiting out the event out of moral obligation, Hal found himself in another pickle. A collision sending the Flash crashing down- and taking Hal with him when the vandalizer turned Catcher attempted to catch him.
The legalities afterwards continued the problem. Video footage and Hal’s witness to the collision bringing a discovery that it wasn’t just an accident, but the coverup of Hal’s involvement could turn his statements futile at any turn.
And the budding looks and quiet conversations between him and the recovering champion was a whole new problem by itself.

Well this is definitely outside of what I usually post here, but it's my birthday today and I'm simply here to share two gifts that I made myself (instead of getting to work on other fanfics that I have to do) and the gift that @itemreceived.
Hoping memory serves, I think this is my first birthday celebrated on Tumblr, which makes me very happy.
My grandmother always said that the best thing about birthdays is sharing a little of the happiness of that day with other people, so here I leave the links to the fanfics and Item's drawing so you can see them.
My tradition of giving myself a fanfic every year on my birthday continues for the third year in a row, I hope to continue writing for the Halbarry fandom for many more years.
(Y que chingue a su madre el cumpleañero. Ósea yo :D )

Halbarry Week x Big Bang
“I know that if something bad happened to me, you’d be the first one on my side.”
Some unused thumbnails for the upcoming Big Bang collaboration with MafiaPirateShinigamiOtaku! Check back September 10th for the story and illustration!
“I…” He scuffs his shoe against the squeaky marble floor, “don’t remember?” He smiles sheepishly. It looks odd. “What,” he starts slowly, “do you mean you don’t remember?” “Exactly that, I have no clue what happened the past week.” “Two weeks.” It’s just for a split second. Barry’s gaze shiftes slightly, intense and primal. Hal could almost convince himself that it was nothing, if it wasn’t for the heat of fear still burning his skin.
A The Summer Hikaru Died au. Barry goes missing for two weeks. Hal seems to be the only one to realize something else has returned.
Update: See the final image and the posted story!

Sort of an extention/part 2 of my previous Post-Parallax Halbarry post.
After the first few initial panic attacks that Hal has experienced around Barry, Barry and Hal began practicing all types of self grounding techniques to help against Hal's panic attacks In case he ever gets them while Barry isn't there.
The 5 4 3 2 1 technique, breathing exercises, smelling different scents like lavender, touching different objects around him (a spiky massage ball ended up working best for Hal), etc. And while all of it helps immensely, at the end of the day Hal will always prefer having Barry with him over everything else. Barry knows how to be there and present for Hal during a panic attack while also being careful not to overwhelm him further. He knows what he can offer to help pass Hal's panic attacks faster.
One day in the aftermath of another panic attack, Barry is holding Hal and Hal is convinced of himself that everything is just a fake construct he made. Just like that one time he had created a fake construct of his dad to tell him that he's proud of his son. He's convinced that Hal has become so powerful as Parallax that he had just subconsciously materialized Barry in front of him. Barry's just a construct. This isn't real
Barry takes notice of that because Hal is just outright whispering that to himself and he gently tilts Hal's head to face him, gently reminding Hal that he's not fake, he's not a construct and that he's there for Hal. Then he tries carefully reasoning that if he'd be a construct, he'd be green. Which he isn't. And it sends Hal silently crying once more. Barry wipes his tears then asks the following:
"Can I kiss you?"
Hal nods eagerly in an instant "Yes! Please, please do... Barry, please-"
Barry shushes Hal because the last thing he wants to hear from his husband is begging. Then he closes the distance to kiss Hal which is reciprocated Hungrily. Hal is kissing Barry like he's about to disappear at any moment. It's frantic and messy. The kiss slowly turns comforting and soft; Barry just feels so real against Hal's lips. No construct or dream in the entire cosmos could ever replicate the pure warmth radiating off of Barry as he holds and kisses Hal. And that's something Hal will always be certain of.
#dc#barry allen#hal jordan#parallax#halbarry#headcanons#ok but saying this just in case#love doesnt fix ur psychosis please go to therapy lmao#its just a very temporary solution for Barry and Hal until Barry can convince Hal to go talk to a therapist#ask to tag

I'm really just a silly who love drawing her favorite characters...
...and their genderbent versions, and boobs too I guess... I don't bite, I swear, but I'm bad at starting conversations, so feel free to talk to me hehe (●'◡'●)
Below is some ramble about my drawing journey ~
I have to thank a friend of mine, who I met during university. She was the one who helped me to find joy in drawing, taught me how to draw anatomy more correctly (I'm still bad at it but I now can see where I do wrong, even though I cannot fix those problems yet lol). I learned a lot watching her drawing in our classes together (we really did not pay attention to class.....). Yeah, she was also the one who pulled me into Hetalia....!
I drew some commissions during this time with dirt cheap prices like $3-$10 for full colored pictures that took me at least 2-3 days to complete lol. Here is the very first commission I made in 2016, I still like it very much (I nuked my dA account so yeah, I have no idea who was the customer for this one...I'm sorry ; - ;; )
My happiest moment was when I gave customer two sketch options and they said they wanted both lol....
Here are almost all of the commission I've made
Then after Uni, I went to work and was severely burned out...I did drew some arts for HalBarry but it was 5 years ago (wow time flies...). After them, I drew very little to the point of none. It must have been at least 4 years since I was last serious about drawing.
Until the beginning of this year, I got to work from home, yay, I finally have time and pick up my pen again. At this point, I have to thank Patalliro and BanMara for making me pick up drawing again xD!!! Then I fell back into the old pit (yes it's you ZeroX), reading their doujin, seeing all the wonderful artworks and fanfics about them on Pixiv, I suddenly want to contribute too. I love them so I want to draw them out, I want to materialize my plots for them...I want to force people to look at my creations so I post them online haha-
Though my job right now is kinda unstable (good pay for single adult though) and I'm in early mid life crisis of what I really want to do with my life...I like my current situation, it's like my dream job and situation, but as I said, it's not stable, it could end anytime. And at my age (I'm not THAT old but the job market is really harsh where I live), it's really hard to find a new job, but oh well, I guess thing is as good as it gets, I hope teehee

If you know WHY this was made and specifically WHERE it was posted then shhh no you don't... (Kidding you are welcome here, I actually really wanted to post this but I found it so funny that I made it specifically for the Carol account......)
By the way, this outfit was heavily based on the Christian Dior 2007 Fashion Week outfit, the pink was so good. I wanted to put her in something green but by then I was already through this drawing!!!
Get these Lanterns to a Gala, please
(This was done semi lazily, once again it was made for an account I have...)
Carol Ferris, My Beloved...
Reference:
shhh you can tell I didn't try for the fur there...
#i know my halbarry posts get more the attention than my other stuff but i really have to show this#I LOVE CAROL FERRIS#my love for her is growing more i swear#speedster ramble#dc comics#this was a pain to draw in the first place#but dear god i enjoyed coloring so much#star sapphire#carol ferris#its been a bit since I drew carol#her design changed so much (for my art style...)#UHH UH UH WHAT DO I SAY???#hello#idk give hal a pink themed suit and give carol a green one like that one image#hnnnhngghgng theyre on my mindd!#dc#my art#lantern corps#green lantern related because yes....

20 Questions for Writers
I was tagged by @fire-fira for this ❤
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
Only 25 (there are a hidden 15 in my drafts on my computer that will never ever be posted)
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
275,306
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Thus far on Ao3;
DC Comics Tolkien Astro Boy and one stray Cave Story fic
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
1.) Sunshine. Falling. 2.) Under Silver Light 3.) A New Upgrade (which surprised me I totally forgot about this ancient ass fic) 4.) Band Aid 5.) Befuddled in Red
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
I usually almost always unless it's a wank ass comment which case it gets deleted. I always love getting replies back from authors so I feel most people like the engagement.
6. What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
The Summer of Light. Slobo was terminally ill, he was dying, and despite all efforts from everyone, despite all our love and impact on the world in general it would never be enough to save him. The Lighthouse was him, btw.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Uhhh... Well, (spoilers) Sunshine. Falling. will have the best ending ever. But shhh. We gotta get there first. Otherwise... I think almost all my little fics have nice happy endings - particularly Funfetti Cake and Befuddled in Red.
8. Do you get hate on your fic?
Lol... There's this one reviewer who is totally obsessed with Sunshine. Falling. and with each chapter I upload they almost always have something nasty to say about it being Konbart. I delete it of course. And there was another person who commented on The Summer of Light (it's probably the same person) who just really thinks I should be writing another ship instead.
9. Do you write smut?
Yes. I want to write more.
10. Do you write crossovers?
I have not written any as of now but I don't mind them. I still feel like a Mass Effect/Star Trek crossover might be fun or a Mass Effect/LOSH fic but I need an idea first. I also might do a self indulgent Jetter Mars meets Atom fic but we'll see.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
As far as I know, NO.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
YES. Under Silver Light was translated into Russian of which I am immensely proud of.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic?
No, the closest I have ever come to this is having a friend write a fic BASED ON an rp we had.
14. What‘s your all-time favourite ship?
I really hate 'favorite' questions because I have like... a collection I sort of juggle around but ATM it is the following;
Konbart Querl/Lyle Jay/Eddie Halbarry Jaime/Khaji da and last but not least my oldest of the oldest otp X/Zero
15. What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I have no fic that is in limbo ❤ Sunshine. Falling. is the only WIP I have and it is on the way (after Dark Crisis: Impulse).
16. What’s your writing strengths?
No idea. I think I'm pretty good at describing atmosphere though. Willpower. Spite.
17. What’s your writing weaknesses?
Not caring enough about overall quality I guess and I really DO just "Settle for done" bc I really don't... care.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
Always the correct choice if it is done correctly and in a way that makes sense. I've read some fics where it's just... peppered in with no real reason and it is jarring. I thought about trying to come up with Interlac words for everyone speaking Interlac but decided on not going that route and instead being sensible and just using italics.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Mega Man X baby 😎
20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?
Summer of Light and Wind Shear.
Pssst. Wind Shear is a Jenni fic. Go read it.
Tagging: I aint tagging no one, but please anyone seeing this just say I tagged you if you want to do something.

This is a short drabble inspired by a post from notdeezy with my own personal head cannons and changes to be more fun for me to write.
Changes from the post are that Hal's breakdown happens in a far more public place and Halbarry is less prevalent I can't write ships to save my life so that isn't super obvious, also it is suposed to be ambiguous if this is the entity Parallax or Hal's mind as I think that it makes the events worse for Hal.
--------------
The stars flicker through the windows that line the watchtower beautiful seas of shining nebulae an image so mystical and so so very beautiful a sight so few get to experience.
So why does Hal feel nothing?
A swirling beauty so few will every truly see yet nothing. He knows that's not normal even in all of his worst moments space still was beautiful, why does he feel so empty like everything is made of glass and will shatter over the smallest fault.
"Stop, stop thinking about this it won't help everything is fine", Hal yells in his mind "Just focus on the meeting" He looks out on the assembled league members though Hal doesn't know why he's here, he's not dumb, he can see all of the distrusting looks thrown his way when they thinks he's not paying attention it hurts but it is fair he hurt most to everyone here.
Hal turns away from the others staring out the window, yet seeing nothing mind racing he shouldn't be here how they can stand to have him here he hurt them so so much.
Despite being deep in thought he feels something walking up behind him, feeling a sense of creeping dread Hal turns around suddenly there's nothing there, he turns back startled.
Eye's widening in horror the window in front of him shows a different reflection a different face staring back, reaching out to the glass Hal looks down no longer seeing the white gloves that he's so desperate to see but instead a black clawed glove reaches out to caress the glass a wet, sopping sound leaking down.
No, no, nonono this isn't real it can't be Hal claws at his eyes tries to rip the false, it has to be false, it has to be he can't contemplate reality now, it can't be true he doesn't know what would happen if he wakes up to this it would break him again he knows, visage out, the armor is gone he isn't that, it's gone, he's safe, safe here, sure the others hate him but they stopped him they can help.
So look up see the truth our truth.
Hal's voice rings out jumping around his head bouncing against the hope breaking it when he looks up blood everywhere leaking through the rivets in the floor everything broken, shattered, torn apart.
Blood, so much he did this he did all of this, like before, yes like before, but you hid away tried to forget, he needed to do, this no no we were fixing things, we killed them, they hurt us, abandoned us when we needed them, but, but nothing remember, remember us remember who you are, we can't fix this we can it will be better all better.
Hal feels something wrap around him, arms pinned to his side as he feels another set of hands reach to his face touching all over the wounds he left behind, the face is blurry a the voice sounds like its going through water he can barley make out the words.
Hal wake up we are here you are safe, I know its hard but you can wake up I need you here
"B-Barry." No it isn't he's dead.
Yes it is, it's okay you're safe. Please wake up
The blood clears wiped up by something no no, don't leave me, don't abandon me again. "Barry." The face slowly un-blurs beautiful cerulean eyes with nothing but concern for him when why does he deserve this, this kindness can't he see that he is a monster?
"No your not Hal." He must have said that out loud, Hal should be concerned but it isn't the first time. "It's alright." The arms restraining him slowly release, hesitant like he will hurt them, with the arms gone he lurches forward strength in his legs gone supported by the body in front of him.
"Barry? Your here?" Voice uncertain as if the human he is clutching is fake like before? "Yes I am it's okay I know it hurts, but you need to breath." Barry's voice is so so real so alive this must be reality.
Calm down, why does he need to calm down, stinging pain laces up and down his arms why is that? Oh the claws ripping through the bones of his hands that explains the beginning blood is that all instinctively reaching for his mouth feeling the beginning of such sharp teeth it hasn't started yet they don't know yet as it must stay they can't know the tentative trust would be gone because of that bug lie he needs to go.
"I need to go." Hal pulls himself back ripping himself out of the comfort he so desperately wants (needs) leaves pushing past superman (the arms that trapped him) he doesn't move to stop him.
Tears streaming down his face and sickly yellow colour the horrible traits leaving as it should be, that isn't him he's human he's always been. We haven't been that since we touched the stars. Shut up he's human, he's human.
Leaving the watchtower behind he flees to the stars to cry in peace once again.
--------------
If you read this thanks would love any and all opinions on this.
Just because I wanted to talk about this Hal can display traits from Parallax like the claws and teeth and can tell and feed from other beings fear he never displays this out of hatred of it except in some of his worst moments they come out with out any input. I thought it would be a cool idea and wanted to share it.

Have you thought about writing a temeraire halbarry au?
Oh absolutely. For sure. I daydream about it near constantly, but this is a case of "none of my ideas are good enough for my faves" and I just can't decide on which angle I would want to tackle it. I'm hiding my full answer under the read more because it ended up being.... longer than expected and IDK if you intended to open the floodgates of my Halbarry + Temeraire feelings.
But yes, this is a 10/10 question, anon. If I ever get around to writing it, that fic would be niche as hell, but I feel like it would be my crowning achievement.
I tend to see Barry (and all the speedsters tbh) with a lightweight courrier dragon like a Plein-vite or a Winchester mostly because these species are described as being lightning quick (heh), can travel very long distances and have a fighting style that just fits speedsters well. Hal's would be a nocturnal heavyweight like the Fleur-de-nuit because I feel like those species would thrive the best in space. Hal could either inherit his dragon from his dad for maximum angst or he could become a dragon captain after enrolling in the aviator's corp, as a simple wink to his air force background.
It would either be a historical setting (but probably not during the Napoleonic war like in the books): they're both in the aviator corps and Hal gets stationed in the middle of nowhere as punishment for some sort of reckless behavior. He doesn't mind because that means he gets to spend more one on one time with his best friend and crush Barry - who he later learns volunteers for messenger duty to the middle of nowhere just so he can come see him. Their dragons of course, think they are being silly dancing around their feelings, they get involved trying to play matchmaker, it gets messy. I have this vision of Barry getting caught in a snowstorm and arriving late and half frozen, but Hal is happy to volunteer to warm him up.
Or, more angsty, a dragon sickness storyline: established relationship, but Hal and Barry have been apart for a few years and having to maintain the relationship through letters because of postings on different ends of the globe. Their reunion is not at all the happy reunion Hal expected and it's actually kind of shitty because they're both frantically looking for a cure before their dragons die. Tensions run high, they get on each other's nerves, but in the end they do remember that it's actually easier to go through a hard time with someone you love, they kiss and make up, they find the cure.
OR I would stay closer to the superhero setting and have fun with that: Hal gets his ring and rolls up to OA with a huge dragon in tow to the big surprise everyone there, or Barry is slowly forced to come to terms with how much the speedforce is changing him because he sees those same changes in his dragon. We could have brand new superheroes Hal and Barry meeting for the first time and immediately recognizing each other because "I can see your dragon you know?? you're not being subtle". or we could have older, newly resurrected Halbarry whose dragons are suddenly, weirdly more possessive about having the both of them together because "what if you both die again". In all of these cases, there would be a dragon + human cuddle pile.
The possibilities truly are endless and perhaps one day I will attempt something.

I don't know what I'm doing, I'm sleepy
First of all this post is not linked to what I usually do, I usually have my tumblr account quite detached from my AO3 account. But in case anyone is interested, at the end of last year there was a small gift exchange in the Halbarry fandom (in which I was fortunate enough to participate even though my gift was written in my main language, which is not English). And although the exchange is over, the page has started to share some of the ideas or hints given by the participants in case someone was inspired by them. This week I had time to read some of the prompts and several of them caught my attention, but there was one in particular that motivated me to write a small fic.
@itemreceived I took one of your wonderful prompts and wrote something, if you're interested in reading it I'll leave the link here.
And if anyone else is interested in reading these tips and see if they can take inspiration from there to make some interesting fanfic, I'll leave the user here. @halbarrysecretsanta
Finally, he told them that if anyone is interested, but they are afraid or embarrassed, they are encouraged to participate, it is a very pleasant experience and there can always be a first time to take a risk or try something.

main blog || ao3 || comic reading
hi you can call me emma. pronouns are she/they. i study compsci in college. under the cut will be my list of my dc faves
comics i recommend:
wonder woman (2011), only for the first main arc though. after that it's kind of garbage
wonder woman (1987). i once read all of this. some classic wonder woman and wonderfam characterization comes from this run.
green lanterns (2016). only time ive ever been straightbaited
nightwing (1996). a classic.
batgirl (2000) you have to push through the art style and the racism to get a really cool story. but it's worth it
batgirl (2009). steph is. she's one of my favorites
batman: creature of the night. ohhhh my god. oh my god
my favorite guys:
batman: dick grayson, stephanie brown, cassandra cain
wonder woman: diana prince, donna troy, cassie sandsmark, artemis of bana-mighdall
green lantern: hal jordan, jessica cruz
my favorite dynamics
dick & tim
dick & babs
steph/&cass
dinah /& babs
bruce and any of his kids. so much to think about.
cassie sandsmark & artemis grace
cassie /& cissie king-jones
