Hal also gets stuck on JL duty fairly often bc "you helped make the team, you better take responsibility for it!"

Guy would get punched in the face by so many people and the man does not need more brain damage

Kyle gets annoyed because the League still treats him like a rookie bc he's part of the same generation as the Titans. Similar thing with Simon and Jessica, but in their case it's kind of warranted, they still have the new kid vibes

Jo hasn't been put on JL duty yet but is dreading it bc she's a bisexual disaster and knows she's gonna get distracted by Wonder Woman's triceps. Also she can't face Superman or Batman after all the Superbat smut she's read

(they're all secretly relieved that there's another Lantern they can assign JL duty to now)

Once, when I was young, we camped out at Russian Gulch and learned the names of all the grasses, the tide pool animals the creatures of the redwoods, properly identifying seemed more important than science, more like creation. With each new name, the world expanded.
