[headcanon-everything]

Bodhi Windbreaker Headcanons

Part Two

Rainey and him have a cool older neighbour/cool aunt dynamic

she also gets him on a level most of the other objects don't

him and Zoey talk a lot about the 80s and it even helps her regain some of her memories

he's more than excited to share some of the things he's learned trying to catch up to the times

loves just sharing information tbh

loves smashing words together to fit their mood - has no shame in how cringe they get

(the Hanks start to pick up on some of his lingo since theirs is similar; it becomes a totally sick and tubular echo chamber) ((everyone else hates it))

loves tattoos, hates needles

WILL make someone hold his hand if he needs a shot or his blood drawn

nearly crushes their hand too

does not stop saying bitchin'. he loves it it

keeps playing with their hands when he's bored or observing

starts off with picking at their nails until you suggest a fidget. isn't quite sure what you mean until you give him one. takes a few tries to find something they like but you both settle on him fiddling with a rubiks cube. retro AND a good thing to play with

likes to hand it off to Barry to watch him solve it while rambling on about whatever new thing he's interested in

mesmorizes him - Barry doesn't even look at it as he moves it this way and that to solve it before handing it back and continuing "and then I found out that turtles breathe through their butts! can you believe that?? I- oh here you go it's done- I tried to tell Tyrell, because I know that's a shape that him and towel buddy have been working on, but he didn't believe me!!"

Bodhi didn't hear a word Barry said bc they were too busy watching him solve the cube, but it's okay bc he's cute <3

Also will let Barry do a cool makeup look on them!

Barry appreciates it, as not all of the masculine objects want to be used for more experimental or editorial makeup, but it reminds Bodhi of the flashy stage makeup Bowie would do so he's all for it

is incredibly bummed that music and video stores aren't really a thing anymore, let alone that they don't pay well if they are in an area

teams up with the other musical objects to have jam sessions once a week

memoria helps him come to terms with his feeling out of place and missing so many decades

loves the beach

doesn't even care that sand gets everywhere

tans beautifully. others are envious of them for it

has longer canines than average

Miranda finds out he can play guitar and immediately goes to him to play together

doesn't really talk a lot to Maggie or Dante even tho he's on the fireplace

likes when Maggie quizzes them on stuff from the 80s tho

MARAUDERAND WHAT I HC THEIR FAMILY LIFE AS (basically what's their familial trauma like):

Jame: Euphemia and Fleamont Potter. What more can I say. Very good childhood. Personally if we have trans James, I like Fleamont and Euphemia being a little wee bit transphobic, but only because they dont really understand, and they wnd up accepting him eventually (think very long tho, like, he comes out to them and 5 years later they start actually accepting him)

Sirsisus: Wallburger and Orion. Abusive both physically and emotionally, ruthless, very manipulative, might go into my flavours of abuse hcs evenyually but like... thats a bit too much to go into right now.

Remlulus: I like the TCoPTP characterization personally. But like, poor. So, Remus' mother died early-is in life, and his dad was just neglectful, and towards the end, when Remus stood up for himself, his dad was a bit abusive. OR Remus' dad was the sort of abusive drunk WHEN Remus' mum died, and then was neglectful/ignored remus.

Pete: Peter has his mom and dad, and it should be happy, but his mum is overinvolved in a super neglectful and controlling way, like, she lowk hates him but also wants control over everything, and his dad doesnt give a shit about him, and instead pays attention to all his siblings instead, because they outshine Pete in every way.

LIL: Lily is totally her parents favourite, and then she goes off to hogwarts and while she's gone (especially around 5th year) Petunia starts to sort of turn lily's parents against her. Petunia and Lily were really close until Lily got her letter, and then Petunia starts to shrink away from everything to do with Lily because she feels abandoned and outshone (see; Peter for what I think Petunia's situation is similar too)

Mary: Muggle-born, but her parents are both dead, so Mary lives with her (slightly bipolar) grandmother by the seaside. Her grandma is a BADASS, but I like the idea of Mary's nan dying when Mary's like 20 (Ignore voldemort, he doesn't exist in my world) so the dealing with greif is fun for Mary.

MARLEN: HAS ALL OF THE SIBLING!! ALL OF THEM!!! AND A SINGLE MOTHER OR FATHER WHO IS VERY BADASS BUT ALSO LOWK TRADITIONAL AND VERY LIKE "OH SHIT MY DAUGHTER IS GENDER-FUCK AND LESBEAN" AND THEY HAVE A LITTLE ARC AND IT DOES RESULT IN MARL LEAVING HOME BUT COMING BACK FOR FAMILY EVENTS MOSTLY FOR HER SIBLINGS BUT ALSO BECAUSE THEY STILL KINDA LOVE THEIR PARENTS DESPITE THE INTENSE DIFFERENCE IN OPINIONS TAHT THEY ALL COME TO TERMS WITH AND KINDA ACCEPT BUT DONT AGREE ON.

(D)Orca: Has one mother who is very um... Religious. ANd this makes teh lesbianism and transgenderism very difficult for dorks. BUT!! Dorcas' ends up managing the transgenderism because her mother is a leetol bit mentally ill and man hatey because her dad was abusive, and really didn't want a son, BUT THE LESBIANISM IS A SOURCE OF MUCH FIGHTING BETWEEN DORCAS AND HER MOM. And her mom uses the like "oh im mad at u so im not gonna say ur my daughter and start misgendering you now" tactic of abuse a lot.

Egg: Again, walburger and orion, but more on the emotional manipulation side of things. Yippee. His favourite cousin is Narcissa.

barry: CROUCH SR!!! LESSGOOO! Barry's mom is constantly drunk because, Bartemius sr, and so thats fun. Barty sr is deffo a lot more violent with Barry than anyone else, like its very angry and yelly and theres no intended emotional abuse, but its VERY physically abusive.

Evie and pandorf: NEGELECTFUL!!!!! DO NOT GIVE SHITS!!! IGNORED!!! Very like, be perfect, but idgaf about you.

Xeno: I love the malfoy concept, so with that HC he is very ignored and shi, BUT I also love the idea of Xeno having one mother or father who is very hippy and liberal and just lowk found xeno in the desert or some shit and just kept him, and deffo an asexual and maybe aro parent, who is full of conspiracies and shit and Xeno takes that from them.

[rosemaryentombed]

do you have any headcannons about meloni thawne?

yes! in no particular order:

- deeply mentally ill but good at hiding it

- has rage problems and a violent streak but good at hiding it

- is actually so hateful of herself that she could never take care of bart like a proper mom

- had owen with boomerang during one of her manic periods, which is why boomerang left with owen

- would kill thad on sight for what he’s done to bart

- would have killed max a long time ago for his treatment of her son if bart didn’t love him so much

- took care of carol with all her heart bc bart loved her so much, and whatever bart loves, meloni will learn to love

- is incredibly lonely and cannot form lasting romantic relationships with anyone due to don allen’s demise, hence why she and boomerang didn’t work out

- is not at all a “i love all my children equally” kind of woman. loves only bart, even tho she had owen later

- actually did love don allen deeply. goes back and forth in her head abt assuming a relationship with him bc without him, no bart and no short-lived happiness. with him, it’s tragedy after tragedy, even tho there is love

- her hatred for her father is eobard-to-barry level unhinged

[miss-eli-starfleet]

My critique of CW’S The Flash

The Flash is one of my absolute favourite shows, and I think it deserves one of these. Yes my favourite shows deserve critiques because there are changes I would’ve liked to see instead. This is all just my opinion on the show, not exactly hating it. Plus.. I saw someone else doing something similar to here goes.

Imma be clear at the start. I don’t hate WestAllen, just really really disappointed with how they were written in the latter seasons sometimes.

Props to every actor in the Flash who put all their effort into the show whether the script was cringe or not.

Season 1-2 was FIRE. No complaints. Loved the WestAllen.

Season 3 was good,

but I think they could’ve done Savitar better. Still liked him as the big bad being depressed/emo!Barry. I’ll say that I got really attached to Harry in S2 which made me wonder why they have HR there at all? The dude grew on me, and he added humour to the team, but honestly between him and Harry, it could’ve easily been Harry. Though it means he would die at the end.. so I’m glad Season 3 had HR Wells instead sorry not sorry.

The relationship between Julian Albert and Barry was so fun to watch. Which reminds me, LOVED Eobard’s appearance as Matt Letscher in 3x01. I have no idea why they continue to use Wells’ face like bruh. Your pretending as Wells is over so like why. GIMME MORE MATT!EOBARD.

I loved Frost???

Season 4 was also great.

I’d say more quality than season 3 because it was their first time against a big bad that WASN’T a speedster yet posed a more than adequate challenge to the team. The plot was nice and unique (I really loved Hazard!). I’ll say that DEVOE was kinda showing some red flags before becoming the Thinker in his relationship with Marlize, like he seemed kinda overly possessive of her. Glad that she switched to helping Team Flash after seeing what her husband had become. Loved her “Thinker’s first victim” line.

I felt like they started focusing on Cecile too much? Her role was vital to the plot at the end with helping Barry hop into Devoe’s mind to retrieve Ralph. And speaking of Ralph, I was neutral towards the character at first, but he grew on me. Also why fire him for sometning he did like 10yrs ago. That made no sense. I’d rather Ralph than more Cecile or Allegra.

LOVED ALL THE BANTER BETWEEN HARRY AND CISCO. And FROST FROST FROST!!! I liked her S4 outfit. I also think Barry’s supersuit was the best in this season.

One of my favourite episodes was “Flashtime”. Awesome awesome filler episode.

Season 5 was also great.

Barry’s supersuit was trash tho imo. He just looks like a weird deformed strawberry.

Above average but not quite as good as S4. LOVED NORA WORKING WITH THAWNE then Barry finding out and tossing her into the pipeline cell lol. Just the betrayal, and then dumping her in the middle of a random street in the future. Loved all the father-daughter moments she had with Barry. Cool to see the writers creativity in “meta-tech”.

However Iris.. bro in 5x19 she has some issues bringing up the fact Barry NEEDED to go into the Speedforce TWICE. And then her telling Barry to his face that she didn’t care that Nora was working with Thawne. Like bro, he murdered your husband’s mother and caused sm problems. And you don’t care about that?? Good to see that Barry called her out in the end.

Imma complain about freaking Sherloque again. Why not Harry? Even after what happened to him in S4, I think he could’ve figured out that Nora is secretly working with Thawne. Like dude’s still smart af.

Nora getting erased from existence at the very end.. sad :( I miss S5 Nora

Season 6.

I feel like this is when everything started going downhill. I didn’t care for Mirror Monarch. The mirror!Iris storyline was interesting to see. Idk what happened the rest of the season. That’s how much I didn’t care for this season lol. I think the other half was about Ramsey and how he wanted to make everyone zombies. Man I HATED Sue Dearborn or however you spell her name. She just took up too much screentime. This is when it started feeling like “Iris & Friends” instead of “The Flash”.

Liked to see how Barry dealt with slowly losing his speed bc he was killing the speedforce lol. Liked how the Caitlin/Frost duo became separate people. It was cool. At least we got that lol.

I think this is when Allegra comes in. I honestly can’t stand her. Like the whole her and her sister trope? Why.

The one thing I did like was Barry’s artificial speedforce gave him speed thinking. Awesome episode to watch. EXCEPT NASH. WHY. His sacrifice is useless in the end because of the whole “Iris is Barry’s lightning rod” thing. Have nothing about a speedster’s lightning rods in the comics, just didn’t like how that was written into the show. It eventually got really annoying.

Season 7.

Where do I even begin. This is when Barry’s “children” became a thing, and then suddenly speedforce!Nora wanting to kill all of them? Like what??? Where did that come from? Dion’s storyline was interesting. The rest were just.. Meh. And the CGI was so cringe.

I loved Abra Kadabra??? Why they gotta kill him off in one episode.

Does Chillblaine start coming in this season? I dislike him in general.

Season 8.

THIS IS WHEN BARRY’S ACTUAL CHILDREN COME BACK.

Now with Nora getting erased in S5, I really would’ve preferred if they gave us Tornado Twins instead. Like you can even use the same actors, but I honestly don’t really like the new Nora. I did like seeing her interaction between her and her family.

Also. Bart. I. Have. Major. Problems. I LOVE Bart but he is supposed to be Barry’s GRANDSON. Give us Don Allen instead. I did like the episode where they messed up the timeline, went back to 2013 and then accidentally reset Jay into the timeline. Also loved the episode with the whole Barry and the gamma radiation making him age hella fast. Bro was basically a zombie at the end and still overloaded the machine with the speedforce.

The. Stupid. Power Rangers godspeed arc was shit and them being Bart’s Thawne-like arch nemesis. Like boy, don’t compare Thawne with your godspeed problems. Don’t even start. Also what is with the “Negative Forces” and “Positive Forces” Power Rangers thing and then Iris’ time sickness? At this point, The Flash just started to feel like a soap opera.

I liked Chester even though he was a “replacement” for Cisco. He was unique. But the whole Allegra/Chester budding relationship where did that come from?? It just seemed very cringe and didn’t do much for the plot besides drama I guess. Khione was meh. Like just give us Caitlin with Frost in some way. I don’t care about Khione and her arc. Pls give us more Barry and not so much Cecile and Allegra.

Season 9

The show should just be renamed “Power Rangers: Iris & Friends” at this point. They made an entire episode without Barry?? Like if I pick up a Flash comic book, I expect it to be about THE FLASH. Not his random friends. Like yes, his friends can make appearances but don’t give me a whole dang episode without Barry THE MAIN CHARACTER. Also how the hell did Cecile become that OP, where is the character development.

Idk where Chillblaine comes in but I just don’t like him, not to mention that I don’t like the relationship between him and Frost. Like what.

Eddie’s Cobalt Blue arc and Red Death arc could’ve been done WAY better. I didn’t see any plot relevance in any way. It was written so poorly. Red Death was just like evil speedster!Batman or something. Please don’t bring our beloved Eddie back if you gonna write him all just jealous of Barry and him somehow becoming the new avatar of the Negative Speedforce. And what does Batwoman have anything to do with this (I believe she appears in the finale villains arc)l

There is legit only one episode I like in S9. The one that comes “full circle”. The one where Barry gets stuck in 2000, gets to chill with his parents for one day, and then comes full circle with Matt!Eobard killing Nora. SEASON 1 QUALITY. They even use the same bg music which awwww. And the “If I can spend one more day with my parents, then what would I say to them?” Line? Chef’s kiss.

Did not like the finale. His final run speech was okay about sharing his gift. Definitely would’ve preferred if Barry became the lightning bolt that struck him in S1 like in the comics.

Idk which episodes: Loved all the Amunet & Frost storyline, and then Goldface time to time appearances. Especially “Officer Chemist” lol.

[shrinkthisviolet]

Savitar and Cisco for the character ask game please? <3

Oooh fun choices!

Savitar

How I feel about this character: Unfortunately, I am obsessed with him. Not because he's a good character in canon (he really isn't, aside from like...the few scenes he's unmasked), but because the idea of him is so, so intriguing. And MAN Grant could really pull off suave manipulator when Savitar was allowed to be out of the suit

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Iris, Cisco, Reverb, and Mirror Iris! Which is just Barrisco and Westallen in various fonts 😅 Saverb and Savimiris in particular have my heart because...evil Barrisco/Westallen!!

But Saviris is a very compelling tragedy (if only the writers took advantage of that more), and Savisco is sooo interesting. Like...Cisco is one of the people Savitar lists as someone he hates for shunning him, and yet he never hurts Cisco directly. Triggers his trauma, threatens his best friend, yes, and neither of those are harmless, but...Savitar never directly goes after Cisco himself. He always makes Killer Frost do it. And yeah, sure, Killer Frost has to be the one to freeze off Cisco's hands, but Savitar could absolutely hurt Cisco himself too, and yet...he repeatedly puts it on Killer Frost. Interesting indeed...

Neither of these (Saviris and Savisco) are healthy relationships ofc, but both still speak volume about how Barry-like Savitar is: he has soft spots for the same two people that Barry does!

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Barry, simply because doppelgänger platonic relationships are sooo endlessly compelling to me. Would've also been Killer Frost, but like...they're not even toxic in an interesting way. He's just flat-out abusive to her for no reason. To this day, I have no idea why people love them so much (honestly I might’ve even been intrigued by them as a ship if not for this, but I def would’ve loved their platonic dynamic. As canon stands tho…nah)

(Morgan fits into this category, though a) Savitar is a more compelling villain in all versions of the Morgan AU and b) I cannot elaborate, you just have to trust the process 🙏)

My unpopular opinion about this character: the fact that I don't consider Savitar a good villain in canon. In his unmasked scenes? Absolutely! But those scenes are like...2-3 out of so many, and unfortunately, they still can't make up for how incoherent he is as a villain, how his motives make no sense...and how he really could've been anyone else and the season would've changed very little. Like. Seriously. Other than 3x21, can you think of any episode that would've actually been super different if Savitar had been, say, Wally instead? Because I sure can't! And that's not good!

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Get rid of the scar (ever since I learned it was only included to mark him as "damaged"/"broken", and especially since it's never explained, I've been so pissed it was included at all), let him impersonate Barry and mess with his life. Honestly, you can even keep the scar if you really want to (for some reason), but let him then use HR's device to impersonate Barry! Mess up his life...not in big ways, but in small ways:

A conversation with Cisco that Barry doesn't remember (because Savitar had it), a date with Iris that Barry missed (because Savitar set it up), Caitlin being secretive around him (because Savitar "subtly" excluded her and sowed distrust for her within the Team...maybe this could even lend to why she keeps a piece of the Stone hidden). Stuff like that.

AND and!! Explore how he's Barry's dark side! Show Barry making a ruthless choice, and maybe Team Flash is wary and/or Savitar commends him for it. And Barry's blood runs cold. Ex: Savitar directly calls out his time manipulation in 3x22, where he snatched Snart out of the timeline for the sole purpose of saving Iris, not caring about the consequences. "I would've done the same thing," says Savitar, "maybe we're not so different after all," and Barry feels sick to his stomach. Stuff like that!

(Also, Savitar and Mirror Iris playing the happy couple would've been SOOOO compelling. I realize there was no plausible way to bring Savitar back after s3, but like...they brought him back in s5 even tho it made no sense. They could find a way for s6)

Cisco Ramon

How I feel about this character: I love him! Like...genuinely, what's not to love. He's protective of the ones he loves, he's compassionate, he's funny, he gives his all to everything, he's a badass (even if the show forgot that. Often)...I just love him sm and he deserves nice things

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Barry, Kamilla! Also sometimes Caitlin, Kendra, and Lisa. Also Iris in a Barriscowest way

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Iris and Harry! I also really love his and Caitlin's friendship (I go back and forth on shipping them lol)

My unpopular opinion about this character: He was valid in his anger towards Barry in early s3. Like...listen. Did Barry have valid reasons not to want to time-travel again? Absolutely. Did Cisco have valid reasons to be pissed at him anyway? ABSOLUTELY!

I mean...consider that Barry learned the lesson of time-travel being timeline-altering and dangerous in season 1. That's the reason he ran his choice (to save his mom) by everyone in 1x23 - he knew it would affect all of them! He wanted everyone to be okay with it! And he did the same in 2x17 - making sure his Team was all onboard. But then...in 2x23, he's faced with the SAME choice as 1x23. And I get that he was in grief because he'd just lost his dad. But then why does 3x01 act like Barry is just now realizing how dangerous time travel is? It's just bizarre. He been knew!!

And my gripes about Flashpoint aside...Cisco is still valid to be mad at him. Dante (for some reason) died as collateral damage of Barry's time travel*, and this is when Barry sets the boundary of "no, I can't time travel anymore." And we, the audience, understand why! But Cisco? He's grief-ridden, and so angry, because from his POV, Barry is willing to time travel to save his own family, but not Cisco's. It feels personal, even though it's not. More importantly, it feels like Barry's being a hypocrite...and the thing is? Cisco's not totally wrong to feel that way. I mean...look at what Barry does in 3x22! He manipulates time again, to save Iris! That should've resulted in another Flashpoint. Can you imagine? Cisco is a saint for not getting pissed at Barry again after that because...wtf dude.

*listen I still think Eobard Thawne killed Dante himself - it would explain his whole "everything is back to normal...well, for me, anyway. For you..." thing, and he knows about Cisco's family life, so you just know this mf would bring it up to Cisco, expecting a "thank you" (because if you take a cue from the comics, as I do, Thawne has a very messed-up concept of family. Of love in general, really, but especially family). This might become a fic one day, who knows 👀

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: He should've kept his powers, and he and Kamilla should've stayed in Central. I get that they wrote him off because Carlos wanted to leave, and I respect that! But it was so bizarre for Cisco as a character (and for Kamilla too, really, but this is a Cisco-focused ask)

character ask game!

[half-a-brain-cell]

Posting my obx season 3 thoughts that have been sitting in my drafts for ages just bc season 4 is here lol

- jjpope arguing about going into the elevator shaft and then being like ok we go at the same time? Chaos boyfriends (I will always be a jjpope truther sorrayyy and i hate every single jiara moment wow they are chaos siblings ok)

- Pope immediately asking JJ what to do when things go sideways?? Like he knows?? Bro 😭😭😭

- The convo between pope and jj after pope almost caught jj and kie kissing........istg it sounds like pope is jealous of kie getting to kiss jj you can't change my mind

- I feel like ppl are quick to be like oh rafe has chemistry with kie or barry but i feel like drew starkey just plays rafe as a very intense character (which he is) and that's that; also the buzz cut 🥰 curtain bangs rafe you will always be famous tho

- kiara is such a queen (mean lesbian who cares about the environment) and she is SO pretty i wish they would give her better writing

- Big John is annoying ngl

- Sarah telling Topper "you're just such a giver" has me cackling

- Pope going along with JJs plans (no matter how insane they are) 🤧

- Pope hugging JJ immediately after they find out he's alive 🥹🥹🥹

- "i love you dude" b y e

- cleo x pope are actually cute tho!! I love how she is welcomed into his family!!!!!

- jj telling pope i just want you to be there 🩷

- obsessed with jjs and john bs dynamic.....not a single brain cell in sight, reminds me of the "gig economy" scene in season 1 (or 2?) - speaking of, - Sarah has the brain cell in her and john bs relationship my god he's just vibing

- I would never find el dorado bc i wouldn't dive through that fucking cave are you kidding me that looks HORRIBLE

[carriecarriecatgirl]

OKAY YK WHAT THONKING ABOUT ARO CARRIE NOWW... I think shed reach a point in her adult life where she realises 'wait im an adult.. The few civillian friends i have are moving out of their parents homes and getting into relationships.. Hmmm' and she brushes the thought aside cos shes batman.. Whyd she have time to move out.. Her and boss got goons to take down yk?? But then she thinks more on it and she realises the idea is so completely unappealing. Move in with some random guy?? But the idea of living alone also feels alien because shes grown up surrounded by the batboys and boss.

Anyway point being: carrie literally just lives with her kinda-dad (bruce) her whole life and bruce never brings it up that it is atypical out of fear that carrie will move out when he does

YES UES YES YOU GET IT. carrie ABSOLUTELY lives w bruce n the batboys. in bruces mind it's just like. dick lived w him jason lived w him why wouldn't carrie live w him? ofc we don't know what happened 2 dick 2 cause the rift btw him n bruce n we know jason died well before he was at moving out age and carrie. she like has a civilian life but it's more just to fill time btw training n detective work n patrol. her friends who aren't even slightly in the know she just says that she has a really demanding night job.

we think she probably keeps an appt in the city just 2 sleep + eat in 2 lessen her commute and that's where she takes friends. in the eyes of her friends she isn't weird for not having moved out bc they think she already has. n accounting for the amount of time she would be on the phone/comm. link for info drops + other work stuff, it wouldn't be hard 2 assume that she's actually texting a partner instead of scheduling an ambush w the flash.

we don't think she'd mind being alone, given her bio parents, but she definitely prefers company. she would HATE dating though. the idea is so far from her mind it's unreal.

we don't think it would be bruce who brings the subject up 2 her tho. it would be like clark or barry, maybe even lara if they're close enough at this point. it would absolutely catch her off guard and she wouldn't know how 2 respond (which she would be ashamed of, bruce taught her better than this)

we're of the opinion that she only thinks of sex and romance in the abstract. she knows that bruce used to play the part of seductive playboy, and she knows that clark and diana didn't will lara into existence, but she doesn't really think about it any further than that. she doesn't give nudity a second thought either. she's seen bruce naked, and bruce has seen her naked, nothing more to it. (she's also seen barry and ray palmer, and she doesn't make a peep abt either) she doesn't really get why people make such a fuss about it.

we also headcanon bruce 2 b aroace as well, so that only reaffirms her worldview. he kissed selina bc that's Just What People Do, and carrie wasn't squeamish abt that either bc that's just Normal Affection. whenever any of the batboys fall for someone she's just like "yeah ok cool did you complete your drills." she knows, logically, that clark and diana are In Love, and that's why they cling to each other so much, but beyond that she doesn't think about it.

HOWEVER. if the conversation of moving out ever came up between them carrie would spiral. she would start to read malcontent in actions that were previously just neutral. bruce doesn't want 2 talk 2day? before, it's just cuz he was tired or overstimulated or was working on a hard case and needed the quiet. now, there's a reason for her to think it's because she's dissatisfied or frustrated with her. it would definitely end in sobbing and bruce having to explain that he obv never valued what was normal anyways, and no he does not want her gone. he is, however, famously bad at communicating so this would take awhile

[louissatturi]

Would this character be invited in a paulkins wedding? (I'm ignoring forever and always just because)

Tom Houston and Tim Houston - they are what rested of emma's family (Jane) so even if they warent in the best terms she would invite them

Emma's parents- she would NOT invite them, because they are probably dead or abusive since she dosen't talk about them AT ALL

Ziggy - Emma probably would already have her pot farm and this is basicly the only canon Emma friend we ever get in the whole Hatchetfield verse series

Professor Hidgens- i think she would get super close to him and invite him out of pity

Linda Monroe- "this dosent make sanse, Emma would 1000% hate linda" well do you think linda Monroe would simplily NOT attend the wedding of the sister of her dead friend? Also she would give some nice gift since she is rich and stuff

Overall Emma would have a very small guest section and she wouldn’t invite a lot of people

PAUL IN THE OTHER HAND!

Paul's family - Paul is a avarege men, he would 100% invite all his biológical family even tho he dosen't like all his family menbers

Bill and Alice WoodWard - that is his BestFriendForever out here! Not only that but Bill is also his best men (Alice was also invited because Bill wanted her there)

Charlotte Sweetly - he thought it would be a nice way to make her more chill and he took pity on her talking about her wedding and she would help them with the preperations

Ted Spankoffski - he did't wanted to invite him but the ted confronted him about it and then he was invited

General McNamara: i think they would be besties in every timeline they meet and i think he would LOVE weddings

Barry Swifty - i just think it's funny that he is there in forever and always and i like to think that he is besties with paukins for some random reason

Mr Davidson- he is 100% scared of his boss and invited him just to keep face

Melissa - i just think it's funny Melissa being there because she canonicly has a crush on him and HATES Emma

Characters that warent invited but are there because they are the + 2 of the people invited

Becky Barnes- Defenily not tom's girlfriend

Deb - bill was NOT happy to having to deal with deb but their relationship is better

Sylvia - she is his girlfriend in forever and always and i want a bill with a good romantic love life sorry

Frank - i shipp him with Barry sorry (jeff and corey have INSANE quimistry)

Pete Spankoffski - he was dragged along because ted wanted to show him how to pick up woman in weddings

The random peep agent that joey played in tgwdlm - okay this is basicly a saf-Hatchetfield oc because of the headcannon that actor joey ritcher have that his character is MacNamara son and i loved it so much so yeah he is there and his name is Owen MacNamara and he has a boyfriend named Agent Curt Mega, sorry

[ubtendo]

In the mean time while I'm cooking up something.

Whats Nicole’s and Astrid’s Pokemon team?

Also I looked into their names just now.

Nicole means “Victory of the people”

Astrid means “Beautiful God” or “Divinely Beautiful”

And I know you mentioned that you were looking for names that fit their lore(?)

What are you cooking up over there 🤨? /silly

So now that I'm up and it's not 1 am anymore I can answer this coherently

First of for the names of the twins:

As Nicole is the one mainly doing the Gym Challenge (aka my actual In-Game team) I thought that a name meaning "Victory" of some sorts fitted her as a character.

For Astrid, while yeah, the name mainly means something about "Godly Beauty", I've also read that it can be interpreted as "Godly Strength", mimicking her sister with a name meaning something of power and success.

Alright now for the teams!

First of, since I've talked about them already, here's Nicole's team:

Alex (Cinderace - he/him): The leader and Nicole's first pokemon. Strong, determined, calm, with just a hint of cockiness. He trusts his trainer with his life and sees the team as his family. Also Danielle's older brother (adopted).

Xaver (Corviknight - he/him): The team member tha thas been on the team the longest (next to Alex). On the outside he seems very collected, but he gets hot hotheaded in battle and gets rained back in by his teammates. Otherwise friendly.

Sabrina (Galarian Rapidash - She/her): A bit of a Diva. She was very aloof when she first joined the team and didn't follow orders. Her temper settled once she evolved. Doesn't like to battle as much but is still on the team.

Barry (Appltun - he/him): (the name got cut from the drawing when I had to resize, ignore that💀) The sweetest boy you could ever imagine. Playful in an innocent way and doesn't realise when he's actually doing damage. The definition of "light's on but no ones home". Loves hugs and cuddles. Very dog like, even tho he's a dragon.

Alba (Frosmoth - she/her): Sweet baby girl! Needs to be carried around when she's outside of the pokeball, because her legs are just little stubbles. Loves the team very much and is just as cuddly as Barry. Those two do in fact snuggle some times. Makes light bell noises when shes walking on the ground.

Theressa (Runerigus - they/them): The "problem child" of the group. Imagine you'd be an ancient old entity stuck on a little kids team beating up rodents on the ground. Not a threat to the team (anymore) bit still ver uncontrollable. If "Schadenfreude" was a pokemon, it be them.

And here we finally have Astrid's team:

Danielle (Lopunny - she/her): We know her, we love her: Dani! The unofficial leader of the team. She needed time to warm up to Astrid, but it all worked out in the end. A very good cheerleader to her team who can aslo dish out damage if needs be. Alex's little sister (adopted).

Kingpin (Gallade - he/him): So done with everyone. He feels like he ended up in a daycare. Apathetic to most things and just wants to take a nap. Don't be to harsh on him tho, he actually likes everyone on the team and they love to get on his nerves. The best fighter of the squad.

Bello (Umbreon - he/him): A bit of an underdog on the team. Whenever Dani or King don't manage to finish off an opponent, he's the one to do it. Very charismatic and loyal to the bone, even if he's a bit clingy. Peak dog behaviour, floppy ear and everything.

Sahnna (Alcremie - she/her): What started as a depressed little Milcery, ended up being a shy, anxious Alcremie. Oh, well. The first pokemon Astrid actually caught (rather accidentally stepped on). She didn't care about anything before she met Astrid an the others. Evolved out of love for them. Also has a crush on Bello.

Gus (Heatmor - he/him): Grumpy and hotheaded, but also clumsy and curious. Sometimes acts as a mount for Sahnna and Bello as sorts. Everyone cuddles up to him on cold nights and he hates that. Very determined to fight, but ends up losing more than winning.

Edelweiss (Arctozolt - They/them) Poor, sweet baby, who is always cold. Always seeks to be close to someone and very nosey and clingy, like Bello. Loves a good chin scratch. They play around with Barry a lot, but they have to be very careful not to hurt him.

Yup and that's about everyone. Well I mean there are some pokemon that aren't on the team anymore, but I think this post is long enough as it is. Here have a doodle of the twins as a end note

☣️~RE: REVELATIONS 1+2 (REVEIW)

🧪‼️~SO!! I recently beat both Resident Evil Revelations games.. and I wanted to drop my thoughts on them!! Just Brief little summaries of the games,, plus my silly thoughts and a pinch of rambling🎀

🧨‼️~ CW/TW: uhm,, mentions of Violence / Gore, Typical Resident Evil shite,, AND!! SPOILERS!! FOR RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS AND RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2!!! DON'T READ IF YOU NONO WANT SPOILERS!!

💙‼️RESIDENT EVIL: REVELATIONS.

For starters,, As someone who has only played the OG RE4 and has a very brief understanding of RE lore,, THIS GAME WAS PEAK!! I fucking LOVED the story,, The idea of switching between story lines was so cool, in both games! I loved playing as Jill and Parker, and I loved playing as Chris and Jessica. I ALSO LOVED THE BITS WITH KEITH AND QUINT!! I liked their relationship,, the friendly banter was a nice break from the tough shit on the Queen Zinobia... (I say as if I didn't curse the game out during the last bit with them bc I fucking HATE the hunters/Farfarello's sm I hope they FUCKING EXPLO--💥💥💥) I liked how well Jill and Parker got along too! It was lowk sweet,, My divas :33

JESSICA THO. HATEHATEHATEHATE!!!!!!! I liked her b4 she shot my divas. (Raymond and Parker..) Chris was right too not trust her right away... FUCK THAT BITCH!!!! I liked her design and all, but her personality kinda threw me off,, she seemed far too whiney in my opinion but minus that she was a baddie,, THE BIT WITH HER AND RAYMOND IN THE POST CREDITS BIT THREW ME OFF SO HARD??? LIKE UHM???? WHATTTT!!!

Speaking of Raymond,, DID HE EVER FIND OUT ABOUT RACHEL??? DID JILL AND PARKER FILL HIM IN????? OR WAS HE LIKE 'oh.. she gone ig??' THE ENTIRETY OF THE REST OF THE GAME???? I really wish she got more screen time,, she seemed so cool.. HER ZOMBIE FORM THO??? WOWZA!! SHE MADE ME SO MAD.... But she looked BADASS!! I felt so bad for her while listening to her lines when she became an Ooze.. Like when she starts screaming about being in pain and shit.. It made me lowk feel bad about shooting her.....

A few B.O.W's I didn't like fighting were the Scagdead/Communications officer guy, Farfarello/Hunters, and the Malacoda Final Boss.... I hope you guys know that I had to look up how to beat the first Boss,, Aka the Communications officer.. HE WAS A BITCH OKAY!! I seen people say he was a obnoxiously difficult boss for being a FIRST boss... and they right... I died like 10 times before I figured out how to kill his ass💔💔💔

BUT OVERALL!! It was a really good game!! I beat it in like,, 6 and a half hours :3 I wasn't a big fan of the Raid mode.. but I think that's bc I was used to how the second games Raid mode looked.. since I used my Dads Xbox account to play the Demo + Raid Mode :3

❤️‼️RESIDENT EVIL: REVELATIONS 2.

I LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH MORE!!!! GOD I LOVED IT!! As someone who got stuck only playing episode one at first,, I LOVE YOU NINTENDO FOR HAVING THE FULL GAME FOR ONLY 7.99!!!! Best money spent EVER!! Also the best 7 hrs and 23 mins spent :3

I liked how this game also did the switch up in story lines, It was a bit difficult to follow with the time shifts, but I liked it! I liked the Bits with Claire and Moira, and the Bits with Barry and Natalia! Claire and Moira give me sister vibes.. Which I liked, same with Moira and Natalia! The bond between Barry and Moira healing was such a sweet moment, like when Moira calls Barry 'dad' during the Final boss bit with Alex,, that was so sweet. I WAS SO GLAD THEY GOT NATALIA OFF THE ISLAND AND TOOK HER HOME!! That post credits bit tho... MY BABY!!! ALEX WESKER FUCK YOU!! LEAVE MY DAUGHTER ALONE!!!! Her story was so sad,, My baby didn't deserve all that Bullshit :((

There was a lot of Plot twists I didn't see coming,, Like Neil working with Wesker?? I WAS LIKE HUH??? YOU STUPID BITCH!!! Neil's boss form tho?? That was cool.. a bit difficult to fight,, but really fucking cool... Same with Pedro's Boss form! I liked everyone's Boss forms in this game.. SIGH even Alex.. I GUESS... (fr though hers was super fucking cool.. weird spine lady..🎀)

underrated BUT!! I really liked Gina.. Even though she barely got a minute of screen time.. I liked that She and Rachel had the same last name.. so Silly :3 I think I just like characters with barely any screen time...... I also really liked how both of them got skins in Raid Mode! I use them both as my Mains.. Plus Hunk and Lady Hunk :3

Like I did for the first game,, B.O.W's I did NOT fw.... any returning bitches I didn't like,, the FUCKING Revenants, Those BITCHASS glasps, the Vulcan Blubber, and FUCKASS ALEX WESKER AND HER BITCHASS!!! I did fw IronHead tho...😻

OVERALL!! The story was good!! I enjoyed it a lot! It was difficult at parts and I almost gave up a few times.. but I locked in and beat it! I liked how everything played out, especially with all the plot twists!! :3

That's all my thoughts!! Feel free to ask me any questions!! I'd love to yap some more!! :33 These were fun games to play and even more fun to yap about!! >0<

[jaxxsoxxn]

Do you have any Flasharang art

or Headcannons

Henlo Anon! With art amma be slow bc I hurt my hand slightly at work yesterday :') but expect it!

Flasharang hc tho? I have few:

- Boomer pouts, like I love him dearly, but he can be pretty childish, but he fully on has to bite his lip to not pout when he's deeply unhappy at smth. Flash, when not Brainiaced, absolutely adores it. After few months of a relationship, he learns to notice the signs of it being hidden and can't help but smile at it. If Boomer will catch him smiling at it, he'll have to fight the need to pout even more.

- Flash, normally, would be pretty affectionate with Boomer. He's not one to hold back with physical or verbal PDA, and while Boomer might be pretty crude and loud, his ginger genes betray him whenever the other decides to give him a quick peck in front of his team or any other hero/villain, and his face turns red in seconds. He tries to act angry about it - he fails.

- Flash would be way sweeter at the start of the relationship, just to be a horrible tease later. No-one would believe Digger when he'd say that, above GL(Hal Jordan ver.) or other people that know Flash enough to be aware of it.

- Digger takes somewhat the most beautiful pictures of Barry and he hates it. He wants an ugly photo for his contact pic! Give him one!

- On the other hand, Bar takes the worst pics of Boomer ever and he really doesn't want to! But somehow his every pic looks like those blurry, chaotic pics of orange or black cats that do smth they shouldn't be doing.

- Flash loves cuddling Digger from behind. He needs to be the big spoon, he needs to count every little freckle and just keep Boomer safe, even if Boomer doesn't need the protection. It's just something small comforting him.

- The first person in the squad who knows about them isn't Harvey, surprisingly, it's Floyd! He's actually so deep in denial about it for first few days he knows, he shoots Digger looks like he killed his dog. Zoey, on the other hand, adores the fact that her silly uncle Boomer has a superhero bf. Boomerang disappeares from the face of earth for two weeks after learning she knows because he doesn't want to talk about it to her. Flash loves little Zoe.

- Hal isn't even in top 10 first people to learn about the relationship, but he absolutely hates it and for first two months or so, he shoots Digger dirty looks and steps in-between the two when he can. Barry is deeply embarrassed and amused at the same time.

- Boomer usually uses Barry's name in a silly, half annoyed half petty way, but when they cuddle in front of TV and Digger falls asleep to his fave cartoon, he sometimes mumbles it in his sleep, softly and wanting, and all Bar can do is fall in love again.

- Hal and Zoey, when they meet on a hang out caused by these two, are the most chaotic duo ever. She deems him her favourite and only likeable Green Lantern. He fights the tears for the whole day out. Floyd still doesn't trust him much, but his daughter trusts him so he'll give him the benefit of doubt.

- Squad and the other closer coworkers, above Shark and Toyboy, make disgusted sounds or kissy sounds at Boomer every time he mentions Flash. One time a random guard tries to give him shit too, but Flag knocks him out right then and there. Only few people can make fun of him, thank you very much.

So that's about all for now! Oh Lords it's a lil more than I planned, but well

Also, don't fear to send more asks! I thrive off them :P

[sparklecareforrealjustice]

Mod Carrie, Uni, Doom or any other mods, do you perhaps have anything to say about the Kisswas comic? (Personally Caroom feels forced there + another crit blog pointed out how Uni said wrong things, so I just wanted to know what you think /gen)

i just finished reading the kissmas and what the shit throughout this entire comic uni pressures carrie into inviting over doom (who remember) was an abuser to carrie and carrie abused him back (vomit bucket scene) and carrie being uncomfortable for the entire comic is framed as them being jealous and trying to isolate uni from being polyamorous and at one point uni goes "Why is it ok for you To be with other people like Jay or Kiki but I'm not allowed to be with Doom?" but the polyamory isnt the fucking issue the issue was (by the comics logic of metaphors) doom being an abuser and uni is a bitch throughout this entire thing calling carrie jealous telling doom that 'carrie just need to get over herself' and appearantly forgot to mention that this kissmas party only had carrie and doom the most troublesome pair and then when she starts fucking flirting and hugging carries abuser and carries upset uni acts all fucking surprised and in the end it all works out for this fucking 'precious cinnamon roll bun' uni even tho she made both her partners uncomfortable mocked carrie and then the comic ends with a fucking kiss between carrie and doom with the bs 'oh ive always cared for and like you' bitch does throwing vomit on your crush scream 'i love you take me away in a fucking bridal carry and make out with me sloppy style then fuck me in bed' cuz it sure as shit doesnt scream that to me and over all it felt really rushed for the relationship going straight from hate to kissing and blaming it all on carrie for being a jealous witch - uni

talking from someone who kindof connected and has Carrie as a small comfort character, kissmas did NOT feel right at the slightest. for example how Uni was constantly mocking Carrie for being uncomfortable with their abuser like wtaf??? and the fact that caroom was all just "oohhh I always loved you!" no the fuck you didn't. (at least carrie didn't.) does lashing out and throwing a whole bucket of Barry's vomit scream "I LOVE YOU"??? it really doesn't the whole idea of all the relationships between all the characters just feels so unorganized and so, SO messy. like why the FUCK does it end with Carrie always going "oh uni is precious she does no wrong!!!" wasn't there a whole volume where Uni literally did so much shit wrong? even including the entirety of Uni's dialogue towards Carrie and how Uni even made Carrie's current partners uncomfortable. (this is mostly agreeing with Mod Uni) - 📎

I think the events in Kisswas happened choppily and honestly Carrie was VERY reasonable to not want their girlfriend talking to their abuser or inviting him over??!?!!🙀 also the fact that Uni had to push Carrie to even agree with Doom coming over is a RED FLAG pushing is not a staple in consent!! very weird? -🧁

uni is the biggest idiot in the entire comic. forcing caroline who clearly didn't want to be around doom to interact with skull is one of the worst things she could've done. and of COURSE there was a sex joke shoehorned in; it wouldn't be a sparklecare original without it, right? not to mention how rushed it feels. -mod hemera UNI ABSOLUTELY WOULD NOT GUILTTRIP CAROLINE THE WAY SHE DID IN KISSWAS. YOU'D THINK FROM HER TIME WITH BARRY SHE'D START TO UNDERSTAND WHAT BOUNDARIES ARE BUT NNNNOOOO!!! "SORRY CAROLINE BUT I NEED TO DISRESPECT YOUR BOUNDARIES AND LET DOOM COME OVER ANYWAYS DESPITE BOTH OF YOU GUYS DISCOMFORT!!!" YOU SEE HOW MUCH OF A DICK MOVE THAT SOUNDS?? ALSO NO WAY IN HELL WAS CAROLINE IN LOVE WITH DOOM THIS ENTIRE FUCKING TIME SHE'D LITTERALLY BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF THEM BACK AT THE HOSPITAL!!! -🐁🩸

[bugcartoons]

HEADCANNON FOR DNDADS SEASON 1!!!!!

(I will draw these eventually, but art college is just kicking my butt really hard rn, like my classes are fucking me up fr fr)

The longer the Oak boys are in the forgotten realms the pointer their ears get cause they are half elf and it starts to come through the more they learn about magic

Mercedes is also from the forgotten realms. It was an arranged marriage that Barry Oak still somehow managed to force but jokes on him, they are literally perfect together

Lark gets his spells from his dad and Sparrow gets his spells from his mom. Its like a genetic thing for what spell types you are inherently best at

Samantha and Mercades are like besties, both boho vibes with their arsthetics. Henry also (platonically) loves Samantha because Henry is a crystal girly at heart because of his wife but he wont admit it

The children all start the series in the same fit, aka their soccer uniform, but as soon as they get sold off they get different fits that match with where they end up in the world

Morgan is RIPPED. Like, biker girl, all leather, spikes, big red hair.

Glenn gets in a lot of fights at his mall gigs but Morgan would end them

Samantha will happily pick up Ron and he LOVES it. It makes him feel cared for and loved

Lark and Sparrow teach spanish to the other kids so they can yell cuss words on the field when there was a bad move or a bs ref call and not get in as much trouble

The kids are all actually really good friends but Grant and Terry Jr are def the closest

Everyone knew Grant liked boys years before Grant knew

Carol is such a business woman it isnt even funny. Slick back platnum pony, the blazers and pencil skirts with the office heals and a pair of really hot glasses??? Yeah 100%. She also had bright red lipstick and the sharpest eyeliner with those laminated eyebrows AND she also has pointy acrylics that are done every other week. She ALWAYS looks perfect and genuienly commands so much respect in the office she works in

Carol is a huge stickler for no shoes in the house BUT you also have to wear house slippers if you walk anywhere inside

Carol would be vegan if Darryl wasnt the main person that cooked meals but she loves him and knows he loves his smoker and grill so she happily goes along with it cause she likes seeing her husband happy

I know there are so many Carol ones rn but one more, she never cheated on Darryl. It was so heavily implied that she did with Darnel(?) but she never went through with it because she realized she loved her husband more then she thought right as she was about to cheat

Every now and again Grant will leave his videogames to help Darryl cook dinner. It is such a special thing to Darryl and those moments are usually when they both open up to each other

Terry Jr does a lot of different styles with his hair. Grant has asked about it before since he has curly hair and Terry Jr tried to teach him how to take care of twists, cornrows, dreads or literally just whatever style he has in the moment but since Grant doesnt have the same type of hair he just ends up getting confused

Grant tries really really hard to learn tho because he can see that Terry really trusts him with it and he wants to make his friend proud/happy cause it would make him feel proud/happy too

Funny enough Samantha also tries to teach Ron how to do her hair (Terry Jr learned that letting someone else do your hair is a sign of trust from his mom). Ron actually is a quick learner and eventually it just becomes their daily routien where he helps her with her hair

Darryl has curly hair

This might just be an opinion but Glenn is the most caring dad of the group by a lot

Rom cried when he found out he was gonna have a grandaughter

Glenn happily chills with Jodie in hell when Nick is with his mom

Glenn and Jodie dont really hate each other anymore. They pretend to hate each other a lot but are perfectly fine hanging out together considering how much they do it

One more lol, Glenn and Jodie are so dramatic for no reason. Literal theater kids without being theater kids

December Comics Round-Up

We're hitting the DC Explosion, and then right after that, the DC Implosion!

Action Comics (444-479) (1975-1978)

We're getting into longer storylines, which is fun! And I'm also enjoying all the little mundane "day in the life" backup shorts, they're better snapshots of characterization than most of the main storylines.

Superman (284-322) (1975-1978)

Starting to exam the balance of Clark vs Superman, and it's tipping more towards even these days when before it was pretty firmly 1:9 Clark to Superman. I'm very much not a fan of rehabilitated villians falling back into old ways. There's pretty much never a good reason for it beyond "the writer thought it'd be cool to have this guy be evil again" and it really exemplifies the worst trait of comics: status quo is king. Any development can and will be deleted at any time. And guess what! That shitty story was exactly when Martin Pasko (my enemy) took over as the writer! And then he continues to pound out the stupidest stories like he's competing with Bob Haney (my enemy) for the title of "the worst. And now it's the end of 1977 and we are bringing back kryptonite into the world. I guess some writers got tired of not having an easy out.

Superman Family (175-187) (1976-1978)

Lucy Lane has showed back up, once again only in Jimmy's story. This time superman got to meet her and see what's up, but still we have no idea if Lois even knows she's alive, I'm chewing the drywall folks. Out of the collection of stories I'm enjoying Kara's and Krypto's the most, loving Krypto's time as a movie star complete with a romance with his costar (tho that seems pretty over now, rip Krypto one day I'm sure you'll be able to keep a girlfriend)

Black Lightning (1-6) (1977-1978)

Rereading this as a part of the superman mythos instead of a stand alone is pretty neat, and I agree with all the folks who wrote in asking about a Rose\Thorn cameo, that would be great (I do not remember if this happened or not). It was interesting to see Talia with ties in suicide slums thru Peter Gambi, the first time I read I was just excited to see her (still am) but wasn't thinking at all about her future activity in Metropolis.

1st Issue Special (13) (1977) | The Return of the New Gods (12-19) (1977-1978)

Between this run, Cosmic Odyssey, New Gods 89, and Mr Miracle 77 and 89, this run is the most Kirby-esque. It does a really good job of picking up that torch. I did forget how very thoroughly they killed Darkseid at the end of it, tho it certainly didn't stick.

Mister Miracle (19-25) (1977-1978)

Of the Steve's I absolutely prefer Gerber to Engelhardt. I just do not like Steve E. But Steve G introduced Ethos who is rad and wrote a Much better Barda, and I would have been interested to see where he went with Alianna. I had forgotten about Scott's sort of merging/becoming a motherbox, and I'm sad that it seems like future Mr Miracle authors also forgot about this because it was one of the neatest things to come out of this run.

Super-Team Family (1-15) (1975-1978)

I picked up this run as a team-up mag, not a reprint mag, and deffo Not a Challengers of the Unknown save Henry Kissinger from the bermuda triangle and pretend he's some sort of angel of peace and goodwill towards man. We get back to team-ups about halfway through, but I'm going to need dc to leave Jean Loring alone, they cannot fucking be trusted with her. The last issue is fun tho! New Gods and Flash team up! Once again Barry has been nerfed for the sake of a team up (these authors just do Not understand how fast he is) but not too terribly and it was still v enjoyable.

World's Finest Comics (228-246) (1975-1977)

It is sort of impressive how much I hate every part of issue 228's main story. Every. Little. Part. I meant to finish this up to 1978 by the end of the year but it's wild how Bob Haney (my enemy) saps my will to read comics. What even was the Kor-el storyline? It's turned into an anthology, so I do get to cleanse my palate with Green Arrow and Black Canary stories at least.

Superboy (207-235) (1975-1978)

I understand that the story's that they write will always reflect the values of the times, but does a universe set 1,000 years in the future have to have the exact same values? Its just unimaginative. Also bls save me from reverse racism stories. ...hey.. I think it's pretty messed up to send Infinity Man back to spinning thru the tortures Infinity of time that broke him in the first place. Just saying. This comic (all comics) has such an awfully punitive bent.

Karate Kid (1-15) (1976-1978)/Kamandi (58) (1978)

Not so much a fan of this one.... they nerfed Val, he's having trouble with basic stuff and its especiallyobvious reading it side by side the superboy/Legion title where he is his usual badass self, and i'm sorta annoyed that they axed his flightring in the first issue, and it's orientalist as hell, like. These villians. This art. Whats wrong with you?

Adventure Comics (438-455) (1975-1978)

Sad the the Spectre's run seems to have ended, happy that aquaman's has started! The 70s Spectre was sooo much fun he's just murdering everyone in increasingly creative ways (turned a guy into glass and shattered him, brought a guy's taxidermy bears to life to eat him, turned a guy into wood then took the time to slice him up at a table saw) 60s and 80s Spectre could never. Wrt aquaman, 444 confirms that both aqualad and aquababy are nameless, then as of 446 aquababy gets his name! Let's see how long he lasts. 452 and he's outta here! Aquababy down, and I'm gonna make sure that Arthur follows him, what a dipshit, and Aqualad still doesn't have a name. Aqualad's backup feels a little out of character for me, like, he learns a group of pacifists killed his father so he immediately decides to fuck up their whole town? Implied to be willing to kill them? That's not my boy. I was a little disappointed to go back to superboy in smallville stories, but the first one was tiny babs w superpowers! So everything is forgiven.

Flash GL backups (217-243) (1972-1976)/Green Lantern (90-100) (1976-1978)

Forgot that Green Lantern had a back up feature in Flash! So I went back and read all these! Fun to have Hal back in space, tho i did enjoy all of his green arrow team ups, and also yay, Itty's here!

Aquaman (57-63) (1977-1978)

This was just none stop let's beat on Arthur fest and I'm not gonna lie, he so deserved it but even i was feeling a bit bad for him at the end. Mera's adventure to try and save Arthur Jr was badass and heartbreaking, and it ended with the trip reunited, and Aqualad said he found his name but while he found his parents names (also Thar and Berra? Really? Compared to Arthur and Mera?) in his adventure backup he sure didn't find his. Also they never actually say what name he found sooo.....

The Brave and the Bold (117-132) (1975-1977)

Okay I'm gonna need Haney to stop writing about any indigenous person ever. For real. He needs to shut his mouth. Then issue 124 was the most bewildering 4th wall breaking, author insert issue I've read in a while. Deffo implied that the writers/artists are in the same universe but still controlling everything that happens around them.

Teen Titans (44-53) (1976-1978)

I've got mixed feelings about this run after the hiatus. Love Mal's tenure as the Hornblower, hate that it's so short with no explanation (he just "loses the horn??" Bullshit) V annoyed with how they handled aqualad (he's psychosomatically falling into comas because of his "inferiority complex" comparing himself to the other titans?? Bullshit) but I do enjoy the big three parter at the end that has just about every teen hero out there. Mostly, I can see why it got canceled again: it just meanders without any thought to what's going on, the stories aren't that interesting, and they randomly nerf characters all over the board.

The Phantom Stranger (35-41) (1975-1976)

Well at least we got Cassandra back for the last two issues. And it was fun to have a Deadman team up! Overall this definitely fell into the "too preachy" category in the later half. (I mean. Its the Phantom Stranger. His whole thing is preachy. But still, its more fun when he's hanging out with actual people like Cassandra (sorry Boston u don't count apparently))

Weird Western Tales (34-38) (1976-1977)

Whelp these last five issues of Jonah in Weird West were more of the same fun romp, and I will be excited to read him in his own mag in January!

Shazam! (17-35) (1975-1978)

The last couple of issues suddenly got a new artist who was all about the more modern 70s style rather than the traditional golden age that they were doing before. Very much enjoyed Freddy beating the shit out of captain nazi. Overall I'm honestly meh about the Marvels as a separate universe, I'm looking forward to what'll happen in new earth.

Ricard Dragon, Kung Fu Fighter (1-18) (1975-1977)

Woo-hoo Shiva's first appearance! Also Ben! (Sorry Richard ur a distant third) I'm really glad that there was never a hint of romance for Shiva, and everytime somebody ventured it she shut them down cold. And her love for really shitty puns, I liked that too. The whole thing was wildly Orientalist tho, like wow these authors do Not think there is a difference between China and Japan. Basically every minority gets the short end of the stick (sorry that u keep getting shot or grievous headwounds, Ben) but it is pretending to revere east Asian cultures so it's ridiculous that they don't actually know anything about them.

The Secret Society of Super-Villians (1-17) (1976-1978)

Finally an ensemble with a plan and a plot!! Its a little like a proto suicide squad if the squad had no one around to ride herd on them! And Darkseid is there! I enjoyed the first arc, but after Darkseid skipped town things got a little aimless. Lots of crossover activity with Super-Team then JSA then Freedom Fighters, and I know it got canceled and it's not their fault, but the last two unpublished issues are pretty much the Freedom Fighters show with nothing for the Secret Society.

Starfire (1-8) (1976-1977)

I will admit that i picked this up solely for the name of it. The first two issues are by Michelinie (one of my fave bronze age writers) and he sets up such a cool story! I think this Starfire and Kory would get along so well! Then some other asshole picks it up and it becomes 10x more uncomfortably sexual (nothing overt, SA just starts being a more prevalent trope) and all her lieutenants don't respect her and are only following her because they want to fuck her and are really gross about it.... why would they do this to me... the last issue had a new writer team and felt like it was gonna be fun but they deffo got unexpectedly canceled, so that's the last of her, rip.

Kobra (1-7) (1976-1977)

Oh God this motherfucker was written by Martin Pasko (my enemy) way to start on a bad note. I saw Kirby and got excited, but apparently this is right when he was leaving DC, so Pasko took it over and rewrote dialog and changed character designs. And another Jason B enters the ring! So far we have Jason Bard, Jason Blood, and now Jason Burr! Okay, it starts off retty good. The premise is pretty fun, and it's wild how the story beats follow Danny Temple's storyline in Robin 93 (not so surprising, given that he was supposed to get a run as Kid Kobra) but with like 500% less bio-essentialism. Like, we've got good twin\evil twin but it is strongly nurture over nature. Also I'm enjoying that good twin Jason just Does Not Like the cops, that's an unexpected dynamic. But then, of course, Martin Pasko (my enemy) starts off strong then flops when he has more than three issues to work with, i hate him what is this mess?? Double is so unnecessary! I mean I guess it's good to find out how Randu ended up blind, but at what cost?? Mel you did not deserve Pasko's bullshit I'm so sorry babe.

1st Issue Special (8) (1975)/The Warlord (1-10) (1976-1977)

I really like the combination of fantasy and sci-fi in Skartaris, but it does fall very much into the tropes and pitfalls of the time. Still pretty enjoyable, and I'm gonna have a good time reading it, I think.

Showcase (94-96) (1977)

New doom patrooool!! Love to meet Arani under different circumstances, wild that she fully did have a romance w Niles in this version. I can see why it didn't get extended, as it lost the "outsiders and weirdos" charm that the original had.

I did mean to get everything to 1978, but I ended up spending more time with friends and family than reading comics over the holidays (terrible I know)

Has your OC ever made (canon character) laugh? / What about cry? Which canon character doesn’t respect your OC whatsoever?Who does your OC love? (platonic)What is your OC’s ‘‘darkness moment’’ in the plot?

For Morgan and her semi-evil doppelganger

Has your OC ever made (Cisco Ramon) laugh? / What about cry?

Morgan and RF!Morgan have both made Cisco laugh, yeah! They’ve done so in similar ways—by teasing him in pre-s1 situations. Morgan continues doing this in s1 and beyond…meanwhile RF!Morgan isn’t really able to, because of Eowells tearing them apart 🥺

As for crying…RF!Morgan has definitely made Cisco cry more. Seeing the girl he once considered a little sister now emulating the Man in Yellow/Reverse Flash is gutting, Cisco cries every time he thinks about it. He wonders what happened to the sweet girl who used to play pranks on Caitlin with him and was always so thoughtful 🥺

Morgan’s made Cisco cry too, but usually for happy/prideful reasons. Though post-s1, Cisco and Morgan both cry for each other, about what Eowells has put them both through

Which canon character doesn’t respect your OC whatsoever?

Morgan: Hartley (at least for now 👀). Amunet later, and the feeling will very much be mutual

RF!Morgan: probably Barry tbh. He never gets a chance to really befriend her, by Eowells’s design, so he’s more inclined to see the worst in her

Who does your OC love? (platonic)

Morgan: Tina, Barry, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin! Also Eowells 😭 tragically

(also putting James here tentatively even tho they’re still together romantically at this point in time 🫣)

RF!Morgan: Tina, Iris, Cisco, Caitlin. Also a little bit Eowells (less so after she learns he killed her (god)mother, but…it still lingers. She hates it)

yes, ik a number of these are familial relationships, and that's a different prompt on this list, but idc, platonic encompasses familial so it counts

What is your OC’s “darkness moment” in the plot?

Morgan: As of right now…I guess threatening Hartley after he hurts Barry/wanting to truly kill him? She doesn’t say it outright, but Hartley clocks it. And it’s quite shocking coming from someone with a no-kill code.

RF!Morgan: Killing Eowells is the immediate answer I thought of, but there is something darker: when she’s rescuing Caitlin from Zoom, Morgan intentionally breaks Caitlin’s suppression necklace to forcibly unleash Killer Frost. Hey, at the end of the day, she’s still a villain 🤷‍♀️ and she wants Zoom dealt with quickly, and she’s not stupid enough to take on Zoom without a backup plan. Who better than an ice-wielder to defeat a speedster?

(In this fic, I mentioned that Caitlin’s powers manifest post-s1 in this AU, so s2 is when she’s having a ton of paranoia over it and trying to conceal it. Morgan saw Caitlin's frosty side* peak out at her when she begged Caitlin for help post-s1 (in this fic), so she knows Caitlin has ice powers…so she unleashes Caitlin's ice powers by force, dismissing Caitlin's fear as childish. Which...okay, at least Caitlin doesn't have to deal with having an alter, but still RF!Morgan, you can't just do that smh

It's okay tho, I support her wrongs 💞)

*KF is just Caitlin btw, in every (...or almost every, at least) fic I'll write about her. I personally find that more compelling
