Why does Gillie have those lines on her face in the court/work wear outfit?

Oh whups, that’s because I forgot to color in her makeup. It should be fixed now.

Elaborate makeup is part of standard court-wear/legal uniform in the region of space Gillie and Idrisah are from. There are lots of rules, but it’s gotten more and more abstract in recent generations.

So I was thinking about my charr today, (Amaya Tinkerboom specifically) and how I’ve made like 3/4 of them related through Amaya, either as her mate (Necrus) or her cubs. And I realized since other people use the father/sire part of their toon’s backstory as canon, a charr commander will have SO MANY alternate universe half-siblings.

Amaya Tinkerboom! I love her! :U; best charr mom!

and god you’re so right. Depending on how you view charr society that could range from like 5 siblings or something to like double digits for their father at least! 

and GOD EVERN JUST THE THREE DADS! So,so many half siblings, of all the colours of the rainbow....

Heck even the ones pseudo adopted by Rytlock double if not triple the numbers. Dad Legion rise up

I find the note that Tiana reincarnated into Titania out of spite and anger somewhat hilarious, considering Titania’s general disposition

Sadly Titania would’ve ended up the same way had she not been raised in a loving and supportive environment with friends and family to fall back on.

Tiana’s position as a noble and general icy demeanor made her fellow Ascalonians wary and intimidated, not leading to any real connections or friendships outside of Prince Rurik and Lady Althea (who knew her since they were children).

Real quick before I forget- Hal gets sunburn on his face everywhere but where his mask his. Has to come up with a non-shitty excuse as to why he looks like an inverted raccoon

Real talk his secret identity would probs be out to the world if not for the magic of Vintage Circular Shades™

(Kilowog laughs for hours)

Random thought before I forget it- Hal introduced the crew to mythbusters and immediately regrets it

heisfhogisihogsieog Razer would want to test all the shit they do himself, Aya would assist because a.) she wants to help and b.) curiosity, and Kilowog would go “They’re learning more about science by getting hands-on experience” and thus only interfere if something gets set on fire

Which happens

A lot

[orange-icebreaker]

In honor of all of the horror movie ads on YouTube scaring the living crap out of me, how do you think Hal introducing the crew to the horror genre would go?

Coughs loudly because I’m introducing the crew to horror in the form of an au I’ve been writing for like 4 years I think they’d all have the same reaction tbh.

They’d all question the protagonist(s)’s life choices.

Like?? Horror movie characters have a special talent for getting into Spectacularly Stupid Shit™ by way of terrible judgement calls, and then making things worse for themselves in their attempt to escape the situation any rational human would get themselves into. Hal finds this both relatable and hilarious, so he coaxes the crew into watching (read: mocking) bad horror movies with him

Kilowog would be in disbelief at the main characters making decisions like entering a haunted building they spent half the movie establishing as an inescapable death trap, but he’s used to Hal’s act-first-think-later attitude so he just chalks it up as a human thing. He still cracks jokes about it though

Razer is roasting the entire thing. Main characters bust out an Ouija board? “Oh, good, let’s chat with the malevolent spirits that want us dead. They definitely will not attack us with the many heavy pieces of furniture they can throw in this room.” In the event that the main characters respond to a Loud Human Noise in a house they’re alone in with “Hello??”, he will just give a drawn out, exasperated sigh

Aya is full of questions to the effect of “I do not understand. Why did he assume the wind knocked the telephone over? No windows are open. The telephone model he uses would be too heavy to be knocked over by non-storm-level winds.”; add this to her perfect robotic memory and you have a recipe for every inconsistency being pointed out (and summarily roasted by Razer, Hal and Kilowog)

[orange-icebreaker]

Do you think Hal and Razer knew/know that Kilowog was married w/ children? Hal didn't know that Bolovax Vik was destroyed so he probably didn't know about Kilowog's family either. Aya probably knows since she's likely able to access the GL's personal histories.

I’m going to go ahead and saymaybe for Hal, and probably not for Razer.

From what we see in Beware My Power and Fear Itself, Kilowog is suffering heavy trauma from Bolovax Vik’s destruction -- I mean, of course he is, his planet blew up. Plus, in multiple episodes, it’s shown that Kilowog only talks about Personal Stuff™ if someone else breaches the subject. With this context in mind, we can draw two conclusions:

Hal would only know that Kilowog lost his wife and children if he knows that they existed in the first place -- and chances are good he doesn’t. Again, Kilowog only talks about things that are personal when someone brings it up. Given Hal’s own family situation (recap: dead dad, big brother blamed him for his mom getting cancer) I doubt he’d bring up family unless he’s avoiding someone’s question about his own.

Razer... Probably wouldn’t know about any of Kilowog’s issues unless someone who knew about it told him outright. While even Rev’s people in frontier space knew about the destruction of Bolovax Vik, Razer was either on his planet (which likely isn’t space-faring, let alone apprised of the situation in Guardian Space) or in the Red Lantern corps.

Aya is the most likely to know, and the least likely to bring it up. She never brings up Razer’s Tragic Past™ on screen -- if she brought up Kilowog’s, it would likely be in an effort to console him if he was reminded of it by other events.

[orange-icebreaker]

I feel like Kilowog never got as much love from the fandom as the other characters. What are some of your personal headcanons about him?

I am so glad you asked.

- Hal wasn’t exactly wrong when he thanked Kilowog’s OCD. It’s not quite the same but it’s impressively close considering that he’s from a very different species

- Fond of some human foods. Like, not pork, for obvious reasons, but he likes foods like kale and crab. And, oddly, chocolate malt balls.

- In fact he likes a lot of human things? Books, movies, music, etc. He still doesn’t understand baseball, though.

- Hates Dumbledore??? Like he was on the prologue of the first book and he was like “You’re leaving an infant outside? In the cold?? WITH ONE BLANKET???” and never really saw anything that changed his mind. He forgave McGonagall and Hagrid tho

- His species has better vision than most. He can see a lot of colors that Razer and Hal cannot; this leads to him trying to explain colors that they’ve never even seen without any way to give a reference.

- Feels much the same about Aya’s supposed death as he does about the death of his biological children which. Kind of scares him? He didn’t think he had the capacity to care that much about anyone anymore

- Beloved by most domesticated animals. Even Krypto likes him. Krypto doesn’t even like Supergirl.

- It’s a really good thing he isn’t evil, because if he tried to go up against Superman, he might actually win. He’s durable enough to take at least one solid hit, and his physical strength, when enhanced by the ring, could potentially a lot of damage. Luckily, he’s too nice

- Has an exact tone of voice when he says “Jordan” that immediately makes Hal think he’s in for a lecture. It’s like. Pavlovian at this point

- Claustrophobic bc when he was a rookie, he ended up on a lifeless desert planet in his system... and got trapped, isolated, for three days without food or ring power. It’s also why he’s so insistent on regulations; if he’d been stingy with his energy as the guidebooks recommend, he wouldn’t have gotten in that situation.

- Cannot stand coffee in any form. Like. He haaaaaates it.

- Hal will occasionally have group bonding moments where they like. Watch movies together n shit. Hal usually picks a shitty movie intentionally because Kilowog is very fond of picking out bad acting, awful set design, plot points that don’t make sense, etc. Razer likes to mock lazy writing, so the two of them often team up to roast movies

- Interested in tabletop games like D&D but Hal prefers video games, Razer is too busy building things/Angsting™and Aya asks 400000+ questions if she’s not the GM and isn’t good at coming up with stories if she IS the GM

[orange-icebreaker]

I sent this to you a while ago but I think tumblr are it so in sending it to you again. In "The Little Problem" what if it was Hal that got turned into a kid instead of Razer

It must have?? Weird

But yeah Tiny Hal would adorable but have the attention span of a gnat. I hc him as ADHD bc he’s essentially the ADHD poster child as an adult, never mind as a kid before his symptoms calm down a bit

Aya and Kilowog are great at dealing with him when he’s This Way. Aya’s got limitless energy and full awareness of the ship at all times, so if he gets too close to something he shouldn’t deal with when he’s tiny Aya can get him out of there. Kilowog has a lot of really interesting stories to tell, even if Hal sometimes gets distracted midway through

Razer is. Not great. He’s not the most patient person in the world and he’s furious at himself for letting this happen -- he’s blaming himself bc Of Course He Is -- and Razer, as we all know, tends to explode at others when he’s upset or frustrated so he’d likely yell at Tiny Hal at least once

(And then Papa Kilowog would serve his spiky ass on a plate)

[orange-icebreaker]

I haven't gotten to see Wonder Woman yet, but I can't help but think how stoked Aya would be to meet her.

There is no way that Hal didn’t talk her up. He probably talked about How Cool the League Is at least a few times -- prompting Aya to ask him for more stories and do her own research into the matter.

Now, Aya is not exactly short on good role models... But one more -- a woman who Hal has claimed “Could bench press Kilowog for 100 reps without breaking a sweat” and strives to spread love and peace -- really can’t hurt anything.

And then Aya actually meets her.

Diana is delighted. A tiny friend of Green Lantern? Excellent! A strong, capable, and intelligent woman who never gives up? She’s like a robotic Amazon.

When Diana says as much, Aya spends about five minutes processing.

(And Hal was half right about the bench pressing thing. Diana misheard and went for 200 reps. Without breaking a sweat. She might have continued for a while, but Kilowog was Not Having It)

[orange-icebreaker]

I saw the "singing is the human equivalent of purring post" and was like what if Hal broke out into song during mission or something and kilowog and Razer think he's finally lost it.

I think Guy would be more of a nervous singer tbh? Like Hal might do it if the mission goes full Silent Hill but before that I think he’d be more of a nervous laughter kinda guy

(Now I have an idea for a gltas Silent Hill au... why is my brain This Way)

Something jumpscares him? Shaky, octave-higher than normal laugh. Probably would scare Kilowog and Razer worse than the jumpscare tbh. They talk about different species’ coping methods to distract themselves from the horrible crap happening

Bolovaxians tend to fight, flee, or freeze like humans. Kilowog’s personal nervous twitch is to cover his eyes, have a conversation, etc to pretend This Isn’t Happening Nope Nope No thanks

Volkregans (Volkregi? Volklings? I could swear that someone clarified this), however, have a mostly fight based reaction, because the predators and prey on their planet while they were evolving were fast, but fragile. A Volkregan who is startled drops to a crouch, looks for openings for an attack. When Razer cannot respond to something terrifying with violence, he instead opts for cracking his knuckles, rolling his shoulders, and trying to look intimidating

Aya doesn’t really have a Fear Reaction like the others but she does go “Curious.” or “Fascinating” and tries to analyze anything Out Of The Ordinary

[orange-icebreaker]

Continuing on from my previous asks, how do you think Hal's brothers would react to finding out that he was GL? (Also his nephews/nieces reactions, if you feel like it.) Also, how would they react to meeting the interceptor crew?

Ok this started out pretty short and ended. Not Pretty Short so I’m just gonna slap it under a read more

Now, Jim is a father of 3. Back when they were kids, he stayed out of trouble, never took sides, etc etc. He’s the one who kept contact after Hal was disowned. Hal tells Jim about 4 years after getting the ring, because this secret feels like it’s going to eat him from the inside out, and he trusts his little brother. And telling Jim means telling Jim’s wife, Susan, too.

Jim wouldn’t believe it if Hal wasn’t floating a foot in the air and glowing. His jaw drops as Sue hops to her feet and has an absolute conniption, because she thought that Jim was Green Lantern, what kind of reporter doesn’t see that her brother in law is a superhero come on

Their kids are Howie, Arthur, and Jane. Hal tells each of them on their respective 8th birthdays, because by then they’re old enough to understand that it’s A Huge Secret, but young enough for people not to take them seriously if they slip. They’re all delighted, because their uncle is in the Justice League, and he flies them around whenever he can get away with it.

Jack, however... Hooooo boy. Hal had planned on Jack never finding out that he gallivants around saving the day, because if his big brother could find a way to blame Hal for their mother contracting cancer, there’s no way he wouldn’t subscribe to the anti-hero rhetoric that heroes somehow create villains.

The meeting between Razer and Jack was a fluke; he and Razer were testing out a device to disguise Razer as a human when Jack stopped by the apartment.

(Hal was, at this point, still technically Declared Missing. He’s a jerk, but Hal’s his little brother. He had to check.)

When Jack did find out, it’s because Hal ran out of ring charge in front of him. And he’s floored and like? Wants to point out how dangerous this is, how is this an improvement from the air force, mom would be so disappointed, but he can’t because Evil Star is blasting things and they Need to Run Like Right Now

It took a couple minutes for the Interceptor crew to show, but when they did, Evil Star didn’t know what hit him. Hal charges his ring as Razer gives Jack an absolutely withering glare.

“She’d hate this, you know.” He tries. “Mom, I mean.”

“I know.” Hal replies quietly. “But I’ve saved the galaxy a few times, so it balances out, right?”

Even Jack can’t argue that point.

Jack’s kids are Jason and Helen. They don’t see Hal much, but they’re pretty sure their funny, weird uncle Hal is secretly the funny, weird brown-haired Green Lantern. They got a Guy Gardner action figure, colored his hair brown with a marker, and make up space adventures for him. 

[orange-icebreaker]

Here's a bit of a weird prompt, though it's more of a scenario that's been floating around in my head for a while. Razer gets turned into a kid (detective Conan style) during the time they're fighting the red lanterns, and the crew has to find a way to turn him back, while trying to help him deal with "oh my grotz I'm a kid again" angst and keeping it a secret from the red lanterns. (You don't have to answer this one if it's too weird for you)

Buddy, pal, amiga, I’ve been lowkey making a crossover between the dcau and the World of Darkness tabletop game for years nothing is too weird at this point

(... if someone... wants to ask abt it... Maya is probs tired of being the only one who Knows abt my weird horror au)

Now, Razer being a kid would be. An Experience. The crew doesn’t coddle him, but the scientists they’re working with to Fix This Situation do? Bc like. They see a small child with Attitude Issues who coincidentally has the brain of an adult, not an adult stuck as a kid and getting more and more frustrated every time someone offers him candy

Kilowog is having a lot of Bittersweet Feelings about this situation bc... The kid... Is now the same size... as his kids were... When Bolovax Vik went up. But he’s so adorable when he sulks now. What do??

Aya is asking so many questions. “Are you feeling alright? Is it difficult to adjust to the height change? Do you require assistance reaching that high shelf?” She’s so curious about this previously undocumented phenomenon.

Hal’s kinda worried bc like. The kid doesn’t have the best survival instincts on his best day, plus he’s suddenly super tiny and hasn’t adjusted yet? Recipe for disaster. And not the fun kind of disaster, the dead teammate kind of disaster.

Razer, meanwhile, is an even less happy camper than usual. Like? He’s tiny, these weird science assholes aren’t taking anything he does seriously, whatever happened to him removed his facial and body tattoos, none of his normal clothes fit so he’s wearing this itchy dress thing that the scientists gave him, and he’s about ready to explode. When he finds his knives, so help him.

[orange-icebreaker]

You had me screaming into a pillow with how cute that last one was. TELL ME MORE.

Alright SO

The “Little Problem”, as Hal put it while grinning maniacally, was brought about by a device that reverted Razer to the physical form he had when he was the equivalent of eight years old for a human. His head is uncovered bc the scientists do not have hats, his white hair is long enough to reach his waist, and he’s got elf-like pointed ears that turn depending on his mood, like a cat’s.

(They’ve been swiveled down since the Problem started)

Since the attacker got away, they really don’t know? How to fix this? Like Razer can be as angry as he wants, he can mess with his hair with a distressed expression all day, but that won’t magically produce a cure. And they’ve got to work fast, because they’re one man down on an already tiny crew.

So, since the scientists won’t let Razer help beyond giving DNA samples (even though Kilowog and Aya are cleared to help), he occupies his time reading, building tiny robots, and playing video games with Hal.
