everytime batlantern gets a new shipper, an angel is born

[liedownquisition]

Every time someone writes anything re: the Arrows (esp Ollie) and treat it like they have these like Bat-level strict morals or just otherwise being really "strictly principled"???? it drives me crazy. Like I don't wanna be "you haven't read the comics" but... They haven't.

Ollie, very famously, killed not only Parallax (something which was very difficult for him bcs Hal was his friend, for all their fighting), but also the Electrocutioner (for killing Lian, maiming Roy, and destroying most of his city). There was that whole thing in Crossroads when he worked with Huntress, Catwoman, and Deathstroke, and was killing criminals with guns! Killed a man torturing Dinah! Hell, even further, at least once he helped someone who he considered to have been justified in killing someone escape the law!

I'm pretty sure literally all of his proteges have harder lines than he does (Jason criticizes Mia for limiting her angles to non-lethal in Seeing Red, Oliver being shown to use more brutal methods in a team up with Roy in comic I admittedly don't remember the exact name of & Connor disapproved of Ollie training with the guy who trained Deathstroke to learn the "killing arts" re: 1YL, tho idr if that was more of a killing disapproval or a "dad, really, this guy is awful tho???" kinda deal. Uhhh... Emiko might be an exception to this probably, at least inasmuch as you can consider those two his proteges given I don't think Ollie really trained them that much/they mostly came to him like that). Hell, when Mia killed someone he wasn't mad about her killing so much as that it was her (an innocent kid) that did it!

In the marriage comic, Dinah had apparently killed Ollie in self-defense! (Before concluding that it hadn't been him despite all evidence to the contrary, ect., ect., ect.)

Roy worked for the gov't and definitely killed for them when it was called for. Fell in love with an assassin and walked away instead of turning her in or killing her like he was probably supposed to do despite knowing she'd likely go on to keep killing more people (You could call this a statement on his love for her, which on some level, yeah, but on the other level shows that his lines aren't so well-defined.) The only reason he hadn't killed the Electrocutioner himself is bcs Ollie got there first. For all the complaints re: RHATO/RH&A they are still considered current canon (to an extent, I think some specific things around it might be retconned?) & he has killed in there too.

Emiko as a former assassin/being trained & raised to be a "perfect killer" by Shado I feel is rather self-explanatory.

There's probably more but I'm runnin' out of steam here. Anyways. My point is that while they're not exactly actively murderous vigilantes, they FAR from have some kind of no-kill rule. They'll typically try something else first, but when lines are crossed (like their family) or there doesn't appear to be a better solution that would actually work, they're plenty willing. They're not "Batfam 2.0 but lamer and not as powerful," which seems to be the predominant interpretation most of the time.

Complaining abt Suicide Squad yet again but the fact that they have Waller exposing the alien community to space racist attacks and talking abt how she got to her position through deceit and being a terrible person and stuff is just. Ahsfiwueh JUST SAY YOU DONT KNOW WALLER.

Anyways literally the 3rd mission of the Squad ever (and the first framed as smth Waller picked and not orders from above) was the Squad discrediting and stopping a rogue vigilante who was only arresting POC and funneling white people into white supremacy groups (of which he was the most prominent member) in SUICIDE SQUAD #4. and it's explicitly framed as this mission being personal for Waller that she's hiding from the government bc its illegal like. Guys. Please why are we having her incite (space bc comics) racist attacks now

Also the whole "Amanda got her position through deceit and being a terrible person" NO. she KEPT her position through being shitty and playing complicated political games!!! She wasn't always that way like there is a difference and it is IMPORTANT ppl PLEASEEEE. In Secret Origins #14 we learn Amanda's backstory and she used to be a normal, caring person! Like even after she entered into working in government and politics she wasn't automatically morally bankrupt like please people. She was originally given control of the Squad by Reagan (*sigh* 80s comics...) to distract and get rid of her because she was so successful at pushing progressive social policy in Congress. Acting like she's this static pillar of evil is such a waste of her character and so fucking uninteresting and disrespectful to her arc it drives me MAD.

Like I am NOT saying Waller is all sunshine and rainbows, she fucking SUCKS (said w love <3) but like there's a human being there. It's a progression, she has a character arc like please, DC, please!!! They've fucked up Waller so bad and made her so opaque and uninteresting she can't even be the protagonist of her own story for fucks sake!

Like I don't know how many times I have to scream it until DC hears me or remembers but WALLER IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF SUICIDE SQUAD. ITS HER BOOK. yet right now she's a cutout to be used as the villain wherever the writers please. Even in her book we get none of her perspective really displayed, no exploration of her thoughts with any kind of understanding of the role she traditionally has played and was made to play in the story.

[shoot-i-messed-up]

Ahhh so this is pre-Parallax Hal. Gotcha.

[dramatisperscnae]

how many shots for kyle to sleep with sinestro? with sodam yat? with parallax?

[How Many Shots To Bed The Boys?]

"...Really? Those three? I don't think I could get drunk enough to let Sinestro into my bed even if he wanted to be there, which is as unlikely as Darkseid suddenly deciding to live peacefully and breed unicorns for a hobby. Sodam...I mean, I don't hate the guy, but I don't really actually know him either, so it'd...probably take a few? And as for the last one..."

"The amount of alcohol necessary for me to let that bug anywhere near me again would be lethal. Which is just as well, honestly."

[wallylinda]

Listen Hal has blue eyes which I don’t like but he’s still a dilf and that’s what matters to me

this is rock bottom behavior anon that is an bootlicker in his mid-twenties the motherfucker doesn't even have gray hair anymore.

[johnbottoms]

I was looking for context for that justice league video you reblogged and I can't find any 😭 what is it about please?

it's referencing how hal jordan the green guy was one of the worst cases of a superhero becoming evil and destroying the world fjjdfjsbfksbfksjfkdjkd

me: i got an itch for a carrd template ...

me @ me: but dont you have one already in progress u need to finish ..

me:

me: how about i do anyway--

[kelpgull]

THIS IS THE LAST TIME IM ANIMATING SPYRO PROBABLY???? this and the other one were for a MAP, i'm finished w it now.

Trying to get the hang of using the camera tool in clip studio, might've gone a little overboard lmao. I SHOULD have set the first background up for a parallax, didnt think of it until afterward. i found a neat way to do that w 2 camera folders though, i'll be using it for a future animation.

[tvheadfalls]

Do you have any method you found regarding how to make assets/tiles in RPGmaker?? I had a few attempts at making a game but making them always made me quit. And you seem to be onto smth with sketching a room over a screenshot

yes!! im not touching tilesets they killed my family!!!! parallax is my new best friend. u can lit just Draw A Picture and use smth like the yanfly region restriction plugin to make them work as maps. guys u dont even need pixel art

https://youtu.be/mNwrFZdlW2E?si=PO5MdwjrmNwnZhsj

(jk tilesets absolutely have their uses for bigger maps or similar repeating environments. but, well. i am not doing thart)

i actually assembled a playlist for my friends so they dont have to sift thru all the battle mechanic tutorials etc if they ever wanna try. im still fiddling w it but if anyone else is interested!!

[donnies-bostaff]

I made a base so now I can draw outfits on Hal (the 3 right here are his civi, gl, and parallax outfits) but now I wanna draw him in something different bc I have all the base ones(unless I'm missing one) so pls give suggestions on what to draw him in w/the base

My first suggestion was the armored Green lantern suit

Which doesn't really look very good but it's whatever I'm looking for more suggestions because I am really bored 😔🙏

[shalmonsgamedev]

So I'm psure the way I did this may not be viable long-term but 👀👀👀 I am excited to share this highly compressed alpha/wip gif of henri, strolling around in my own parallax scene with some overlay action! my little chkn is growing up and walking behind things 😭😭 but yea this is still that map w/the grand total of, like 5 passable tiles lol will be embiggening the floor area & rearranging accordingly (and still various things needing textured of course)

[themyscirah]

Saw a meme post and started doodling and somehow spawned this???????

[halkyles]

oh god the orgasm metaphor. personally i dont think they had sex on that plane, i think the plane ride WAS the sex!! anyways that aside [sticks my leggy in] hiiiii my hal knowledge is limited and the only kyle comic ive ever read was the one where his gay friend (not hal) gets hate crimed but even still i kneel before their power. like wtf how are they not the face of DC Pride w how they act about each other?? -lazaruspiss

The plane ride was the sex. Yeah. Hal literally made them get on the plane with no protection and thrusted the plane into the atmosphere and made Kyle scream in joy at the climax of the flight just like how he would scream in orgasm. He nutted. He nutted on the plane. Like it's a metaphorical nut but also he literally nutted on that plane. Kyle is Hal's true successor because danger makes his dick hard and Hal is the one to show him this, continuing with the fatherly metaphor where Hal takes Kyle's hand and guides him through his tangled psyche, just like how when he broke into Kyle's apartment and beat him. Like you can't tell me Kyle didn't come to some personal revelations after that, especially after Hal's fuck-me eyes to the lead up to that fight.

I'm sure I can come up with a sex metaphor for that time Hal dove into Kyle's mind and momentarily merged with his consciousness and gave Kyle the strength to fight back against Parallax's possession. Which is a thing that happened btw, for the people watching. This is canon. Hal dove into Kyle's head and waded through his memories and tumultuous feelings and pulled Kyle out from the depths of his despair and gave him enough strength to keep fighting. And they were both naked. AND they stepped out of Parallax's weird belly mouth thing that had a billion fangs on the desecrated husk of Kyle's body. It was hot.

Or how about the time Kyle became god and rifled through Hal's past and memories to understand who he was?

Or the time Hal gave Kyle his ring and Kyle was Overcome By The Essence Of Hal and he kept saying plane puns.

There's intimacy and then there's whatever the fuck they have going on. What is the point of physical touch when they already know each other beyond how normal people can know each other. They've been in each other's minds. Kyle has literally brought Hal back from the dead. They've grabbed each other's frozen, shattered corpse and said: no. You don't get to rest. You don't get to sit idle while I still suffer this world. My time is not up, and neither is yours, and you WILL come back to this body, back to me.

Like Kyle LITERALLY wore Hal's ring. Hal was dead and Kyle wore his ring and Kyle made it so that no one BUT him could ever wear that ring again. What more do you want?? They literally keep having sex on page without having sex.

@1rstflight [Darkness Haunts Your Narrative]

"one day your empathy will get you killed."

"Maybe." Kyle meets that eerie yellow gaze steadily, arms folded over his chest. Is there such a thing as being too caring? Probably; caring too much opens you up to all kinds of heartbreak, after all. But if it's a choice between caring too much or not at all Kyle knows which one he'd choose.

Hell, it's not even a choice.

"But it won't be today."
