My Top DC Comics Couples!❤️

(Not in particular order)

Have a top ten request? (Submit Here)

[empire-of-the-words]

I'm 10 and a half episodes into Young Justice (the TV show), and I feel like I should record my feelings for posterity's sake, so here we go (under the cut because it got too long 😅)

(Also I will be using superhero names for the most part since I don't want to look up how to spell Miss Martian or Aqualad's name)

Spoilers: I already know the Red Arrow thing. I'm also pretty confident I know Artemis's backstory. This doesn't bug me, because I love storytelling. A lot. So I keep looking at it from the writers' POV and it's honestly very fun. I also know a piece of Miss Martian's backstop, and the same as above applies

Investment in the characters: Honestly the show is doing a great job at this. So far it's had an episode focusing mainly on every character except Robin (who I'll talk about in a sec). The show is doing a lot of one episode character arcs (which is a great way to get you invested in the characters). Superboy and Superman both have obvious season character arcs going on, but the others have enough stuff that I'm confident they can do stuff with them

Robin: He is so competent in this, and I love it. Him being too competent to lead the team is both funny and adds another layer to both him and Aqualad. He actually hasn't had an episode really focused on him yet, just side plots. But this kind of works, since everyone knows Robin and there's less of a need to make sure people like him. (And this works. I didn't need to get as invested in Dick and Roy (and Bruce and Clark) since I'm already invested in their comic versions)

I also love that he hasn't revealed his identity yet. The little things about it (like in that episode the League of Shadows was trying to hack Wayne Enterprises). Especially with Artemis heading to Gotham Academy, I'm really hoping she has some fun interactions with Dick

Ships: Miss Martian/Superboy is pretty cute. I passively ship it. Just hoping they have real relationships with other members of the team. Kid Flash/Artemis (does she have a hero name?) is a bit more interesting. The amnesia episode did a good job selling it to me, as it shows they don’t necessarily hate each other at a basic level. Also I hate Kid Flash's crush on Miss Martian (or at least how he acts because of it), and rooting for another ship is the same as rooting for it to die. No real love triangle stuff for now, and hoping it stays that way. There's also the ship getting its own category:

JadeRoy: Starting very different from the comics (where they basically started as Enemy Lovers), but, uh, I Don't Care. I love this ship, both in comics and here. They're entirely enemies right now, but they've started to attach extra emotions to each other (not good ones, don't get me wrong, but they're singling each other out). And I know Lian will exist in this universe (thanks dc wiki), so I'm happily excited for Slow Burn (with the back of my mind preparing for disappointment, just in case). Not sure if this is going Enemies to Enemy Lovers or just straight up Enemies to Lovers (since it's a kids show they might give them a happy ending) but either way I'm down for it

(I'm actually horrible at watching shows in their entirety (instead of dropping them after a few episodes) , and the way I actually got myself to push forward and get invested was the knowledge that Cheshire appears in episode 6, and I really wanted to see her)

I'm super invested in the Superman/Superboy plotline. Also, Martian Manhunter giving Connor the last name Kent was just hilarious. The whole League is just like, "you will parent this kid, clark" and I love it. It's also got me thinking about how comic writers indirectly said Bruce wouldn't be great in this situation despite this version of him pushing for it, but that's an essay for another time (possibly never since it might involve reading Morrison!Talia which I desperately do not want to do 😭)

Speaking of Talia. I am dreading it. I know Damian’s just a cameo and it's a kids show, so it can't get as bad as the DCAU (knock on wood), but this is 2011. This is peak Morrison!Talia, and I do not want to see my favorite character's characterization get spit on

Moving on the nicer things, Batman is Peak Batman. He is a dad, and he’s trying his best, and they better not ruin him

The Light: I guess it makes sense that all these secret organizations are secretly all 1 secret organization, but I'm not quite invested yet. Also finding it hard to believe Ra's al Ghul would join an organization where he's not in charge

Also! I have figured out the usual formula. They start the episode with both a mission usually, and give one character a personal conflict. Things get to their worst at about the 16 minute mark, resolve at about 20/21 minutes, have a final scene with the team and a final final scene reveal the bad guys were actually part of the Light conspiracy thing. Honestly it's kind of comforting having a formula

Overall, pretty good. Can't say how quickly I'll watch it, or how often I'll post about it, but I'm going to keep watching it, which is pretty good, particularly for a kids show

Also if someone's reading this and really curious about what I think about something specific, feel free to send an ask, it'll be fun :)

My Top 10 Young Justice Ships

Hey y’all! Here’s a new little series I’m doing, where I give you my top ships from series that I’m a fan of! I’ll drop a poll sometime soon of which fandom you want me to do next! @imsparky2002 @artzychic27

1. SPITFIRE. Forever and always. Wally and Artemis were such an amazing couple, and the ending of season 2 will always make me cry like a baby. They complimented each other so well and balanced one another out. Don’t get me wrong, I like Artemis’ new BF, he seems nice, but…he’s not Wally…

2. Blue13. We may not get to see much of them, but damn it they made Jaime and Traci’s dynamic so cute and I wanted to see more!!! They had this easy rapport that was so sweet and funny! (Also we were ROBBED when they didn’t show us Jaime reacting to Traci taking part in the Dr. Fate deal. I mean, how similar is that situation to him being put on mode?!)

3. Zetaflash. I. Love. These. Two. And I hate that Greg wasn’t allowed to confirm them in the show. (Though I respect the hell out of him for the fact that he made Atlantis as queer as possible in rumored retaliation. 😂) I just loved the exchanges they had in the episodes they were shown, and I’m a sucker for the Straight Man-Zany One dynamic.

4. Kaldur+Wyynde. These two may have been unexpected, but damn if they weren’t beautiful. I love how Wyynde supports Kaldur but also worries for him and tries to get him to slow down a bit before he burns out. Love these two!

5. Forager Squared. Cuteness personified. 10/10. Every moment these two were together was adorable. 🥰 🥰🥰

6. La’Gaan and his partners. Not only do I love the polyamory representation, they have such a wholesome dynamic, and La’Gaan deserved happiness! (Screw you, I’ve always liked him.)

7. WonderStatic. Cassie and Virgil have such a fun dynamic and I loved the hints he had a crush on her. She deserves better after the crap Tim pulled.

8. Zatanna+Rocket. Don’t judge me. They have an awesome dynamic and give off kickass Gf vibes.

9. Gardita. They were sweet together and really seemed happy. Wish they had stayed together.

10. Supermartian. They were adorable in Season 1, and I was happy to see them married at the end of Season 4, but all that mess significantly downgraded them for me.

Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

we just got through 1x09 Bereft and it has become clear to me that Megan and Conner are soon to become the exact couple that we here on tumblr once celebrated with the following meme:

(◡‿◡✿)

(ʘ‿ʘ✿) “What you say 'bout me?”

(ʘ‿ʘ)／✿ “Hold my flower”

✿＼(｡-_-｡) “Kick his ass, baby. I got yo flower”

[bloopulse]

Curious to see what ship people prefer from the early seasons

[mamawasatesttube]

I don't know that much about superboy so forgive me if this is a silly question but what's the deal with Magdalene Visaggio?

not a silly question, dw!! if you haven't read many kon comics it probably doesn't look particularly noteworthy but OOF. OOF.

the tl;dr of it: despite being paid to write him once, she also hasn't read kon comics and it really, really, really shows. i'm talking geoff johns levels of flagrant disregard for the existing character - maybe even worse than geoff? which i say only because i know geoff did read sb94 even if he didn't act like it. but that's off topic; this isn't a geoff hatepost. this is a magdalene hate post.

under a cut for length, lets goooo!

so we start out with her canonizing supermartian. already off on the wrong foot - that's a ship out of yja the tv show which is a completely separate continuity from main comics and a completely different kon than main continuity kon. despite supposedly knowing that, she still shoves them into a relationship in main continuity, despite them never having actually interacted on page in main continuity.

she then goes on to characterize kon as angry and entitled and uncaring, and also in high school again. not only does she directly contradict all of his preboot existing characterization (which is important because kon-el never got reset during flashpoint - he was in another universe and thus dodged that bullet. current kon-el is canonically the same kon-el as pre-flashpoint/postcrisis kon-el.), but also she directly contradicts both young justice (2019) and superboy: man of tomorrow, which are in current continuity, leading one to really wonder if she has read a single comic kon appeared in at all. it's also worth noting that the asshole with anger issues characterization is, once again, much truer to the young justice animated tv show than any comic kon.

also worth noting is that the infamous red hair dye streak? well, uh...

yeah..............

on her twitter, she once said something about kon-el not being a good name because it's "still a name someone else gave him", called him "the jason todd of the superfamily", and insisted that the meaning of a trans narrative is "burning down your life and reevaluating your place within it":

kon-el is a name gifted to him to signify his acceptance into his family (superboy (1994) #59) and he was so overjoyed to receive it that he cried. overall, the superfam are very supportive and loving, and introducing strife just to make him run off and live with jinny hex instead of them just because she thinks one can't transition and retain previous relationships is... not it, lol.

her pitch also contained some outrageously egregious christianity bullshit, like villains named "saint", "shepherd", and "savior", as well as direct comparisons between clark and jesus christ. this is... sorry i really just have to say this is Fucking Cringe. i guess the more polite way to put it would be "incredible gauche" (considering the jewish origins of the superfam) but i just can't call it anything else. This Fucking Sucks Dude. i won't even get into the weirdness about genetic bullshit she leans into by introducing kon's "brother" who's also part luthor, part superman, but "luthor-dominant" (lol?) (do you know how genes work even a little bit).

she has quoted the one panel from reign of the supermen where kon says "don't ever call me superboy" a few times, claiming it's the first thing he ever said and no one listened. to me this essentially reads as her going "i've read one of his appearances and i would like to throw out the like 200 issues of character development he had since then in favor of making him my own self-insert to explore MY transition and religious trauma".

basically she doesn't seem to know how to write a story that's not about herself. as a trans person with a positive relationship with my given name (because as a first-gen kid of two diasporic immigrants, it provides an important tie to my family's cultures, to me) and with trans friends who involved their parents in picking new names and so on and so forth, i honestly find it very reductive and white to insist there's only one trans narrative and only one good way for trans characters to be named. i also find her putting her own christian religious trauma into a superfam story off-putting and . well. fucking cringe. i understand and respect that that is her story, but it sure ain't universal and i won't be able to respect her as a writer until it becomes clear she gets that.

[theyneedhelplol]

idk if this fandom is dead or not but pleassssee to the bottom of my heart recommend some Young Justice (Cartoon) to me.

Preferably anything ao3 works

Anything canon original team ships work (Spitfire, Supermartian, etc). Also I’ve also been getting into Zetaflash fics so literally anything works for me

[missbrunettebarbie]

Dear DC comics writers, I have 2 things to say regarding the latest Supermartian news:

1. The lil I've seen so far of them seems cute, but different enough from their show YJ version to not invite direct comparasion from me. But if you write the ship in an interesting way, I might have to read comics (*ugh, why?!*). Anyway, all in all, good for you for trying something new(-ish) in comics.

2. If you wanted to get inspo for a ship from the Young Justice TV show, why couldn't that ship be Chalant????? Supermartian already has/had its time in the sun in the comics, while Chalant was abandoned by its own creators like an unwanted baby! Surely among the ten thousand five hundred versions of Zatanna and Dick out there, you could create one more version that has them together (preferably a limited run so I can read it without having to make too big of a commitment).

[bludmd23]

I love your J'onn art so much! Also, your SuperMartian stuff is adorable <3 I'm more of a MartianBat shipper, but I feel solidarity with SuperMaritan shippers, yk?

ahusfhsagjhga point is I love your art <3

Awwwww thanku so much!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I’m glad you enjoy my work!!! Martianbat is a nice ship too!!

[lirxtix]

Mueseum Heist is ( Rob × Artemis × KF ) idk why i put zatanna lol

[jesncin]

being a Ma'alefa'ak fan is so tragic because you want to watch all the adaptations with him in it, and it's either:

a) he appears in this movie as a side character

b) he shows up as a villain in season 4-5 of a show long past its prime

[clambuoyance]

I know that you are a stalwart TimKon Shipper

But what are your opinions on other Kon ships?

KonCass

KonCassie

SuperMartian

KonBart

I am a firm KonCass Shipper through and through

even if i have my own personal hcs, i mean i don't mind any of these ships

koncass had a couple of cute issues and they very much feel like young teens trying to date kinda clumsily but i liked that they agreed to just be friends at the end of it T-T also given what cass says about how she's looked at and her relationships with other characters i cant really see her with a guy >_> they are definitely cute tho and glad you have a cute ship to enjoy!

i actually think koncassie are sweet to each other in tt03 but it's like very basic and surface level to me (that's just how johns wrote everyone there though so) and within canon, cassie had something of a celebrity crush for him at first, but there's the issue where cassie looks in the mirror and wishes she was beautiful and wishes kon would stop looking at her as if he only sees her as a sister and nothing more and then they kiss and i was like >_> okay i guess (if we had seen more of this romance from kon's pov i might have bought into it more) and later in tt03 johns writes cassie as if it was a flaw to act so boyish in her youth and while there's nothing wrong with characters growing up and changing it just felt cheap or whateverrr like at least write her realizing she doesn't need to be doing this for a man and only for herself. again, theyre okay to me as a ship on its own and are cute and i joke that kon got domesticated and learned to be a decentish boyfriend i guess (altho i think he was always going to be a loyal bf and the persona from his youth was more of an act). i could enjoy them more maybe in cases where they are presented in a way i find more interesting (such as both having similar journeys in exploring gender, making cassie's stories revolve less around kon or boy drama etc) or outside of canon but personally i also cannot see her with a man </3 koncassie really doesn't do it for me </3

supermartian really only exists within the yja show which i havent watched in over a decade so i can't say much except that i remember being obsessed with them in s1 and then i kinda lost interest and never finished s2

konbart is neat too even if i don't talk about them much either, they also have a lot of canon scenes showing their devotion and support to each other, not to mention the humor in all of yj and dynamic esp during the parts surrounding the apokolips-ish era(the guilt and worry kon felt, associating bart for a chick etc etc). they also have a lot in common origin/character wise (very sci-fi/experiment origins, inertia and match, interesting relationships with adult figures and expectations, both dying, being written off as stupid or immature, etc etc) so i can definitely see the appeal and think theyre also cute. honestly for me it probably just came down to preference and the order i read things in bc if i read yj2019 first or didn't tend towards tim drake/annabeth chase/rose lalonde coded characters i might've had a different main dc ship but theyre neat :)

ofc again these are just my personal opinions and hcs i have nothing against the people who like em (except maybe for the writers of some of these comics)

[kara-zor-els]

Ship Ask game :

3 superman ship : Clois; Clana; Clori (Lemaris)

3 supergirl ship : Karadox; Supercorp; KaraCassie

3 kon ship : TimKon; Supermartian; KonCass

Clark ships

Clois I already answered. Clana is a classic and I do enjoy them, but not as much as endgame. Clori could be compelling but a) I don't know Lori that well and b) I think that I'd prefer them as friends.

Kara ships

Karadox: makes sense and compels me. Something about falling for the same person over multiple incarnations and still being doomed to be separated by time/knowing that the person you love is destined to die and not being able to prevent it... oh they invented tragic lovers

Supercrop: I've only watched the first two seasons of CWSG and I did enjoy it then. Admittedly I do find trying to force show elements into the comics annoying so this is about only their show versions. But it's hard for me to say no to Katie McGrath (my og celebrity crush) kissing girls (especially Kara) even if their dynamic is basically clex yuri.

Karacassie: I know that people ship this due to them having actual chemistry (although I have not read their comics so like, idk) but I'm just not very big on that era/post-crisis Kara being on the same age group as Tim. Speaking of which, it feels to me like Kon is pretty much haunting the narrative in this relationship. Anyway, I just like other ships better for both of them.

Kon Ships

Timkon: I like them in theory but I haven't read many comics about them yet to actively ship it

Koncass: they are the world's most lavender situationship

Supermartian: I think that I'd find it more interesting if I didn't associate it with YJA as well as that awful AC backup (the one where kon gets the red hair streak)

[finitevoid]

bluepulse amvs: clips of bart smiling like a used car salesman at jaime attempting really unsubtly to manipulate him in various ways while silly music plays, during the bridge they will play clips of the two of them attacking each other and its not in a homoerotic sasunaru type of way its actually in a pure violence kind of way

birdflash amvs: dick is sad that wallys dead video #100000 while numb by linkin park plays and/or pop music from 2012 sung by a woman in which they larp heterosexual mating rituals

spitfire amvs: horny

supermartian amvs: pop music about insecure women being in love with a jock

roy/jade amvs (how the hell am i supposed to remember all the yj word ship names): britney spears

[ectonurites]

I thought Supermartian was the mlm guy over in Earth 32

i figured that ‘supermartian’ was a generic enough name it was used for more than one thing hence why i clarified what specific thing i was talking about. bc like it is a commonly used shipname for kon/m’gann even if it’s also used for other characters/ships too
