Gen obsessed with how.. *dead* your Jason's color pallete is. Like, that's corpse pale right there. Not a spec of blood left flowing in there (also father Todd's skin being full of color in comparison is a nice touch)

THANK YOU I love making him look a bit ghoulish. Guy who's not supposed to be alive but yes he is. no he isn't <3

my Stephanie Brown hot take is that she should get mad bitches now that she's single in comics. Yes yes shipping BUT the one time she had sex she was punished by the narrative via teen pregnancy. I think she should be allowed to have as much sex as she wants with zero consequences. Could be a lot of sex, could be a little. Point is she should get to do it without getting narratively baby trapped this time. she should get them pregnant, actually.

aldo bellini who loves giulio sabbadin in a pragmatic fashion, he's in rome for the weekends, coffee in bed in the afterglow. he's there, he admires how much giulio cares, giulio gives him so much and aldo is sure giulio loves him though he doesn't think he deserves it or knows what to do with it. giulio on the other hand doesn't believe aldo loves him, just accepts that getting to be in his company intimately is a privilege no one else has and sleeps better than ever in his arms. aldo bellini who loves thomas lawrence as a friend and daydreams about the idea of thomas lawrence as a partner, lost in a few "what ifs" in the maze of his mind, not that the friendship isn't valuable but precisely because it could be such a strong foundation for something else. aldo bellini who despises goffredo tedesco and all he stands for, who knows where he came from, knows their backgrounds are too similar and thus feels personally betrayed by him, without him having a clue of this personal animosity, because in one of his hypothetical scenarios tedesco could be on the same side as him and what bond would they have if that was the case, what bond indeed. aldo bellini, cold and aloof intellectual, who would likely be diagnosed with anxiety and ocd, filled with love, loving in his own quiet ways.

I’ll never forgive yjtv for making the wests….nice.

Wally should be running away from home. Wally should be fascinated with the flash because if he had super speed he run away and never go back to Nebraska. Wally getting shoved with iris for summers at a time, iris being his best friend (actual mother) who when she was only a child herself decided she wouldn’t let Wally down, and then the weird boyfriend of his aunt who STEPPED THE FUCK UP, if they wanted to be realistic the thing about Rudy and Mary’s abuse of Wally is that it wasn’t exaggerated comic book abuse like making child soldiers or something they were just narcissistic selfish people who punished their kid for random things and made them feel unloved and took advantage of him that he wanted to run and never look back. You could have easily have a thread where when you live like that surrounded by people with comic book levels of shitty lives you think you don’t have it that bad that you accept things. That this is what normal life must be only to have people like Barry iris Jay to prove otherwise.

And then when you finally hear about your parents divorce your friends don’t know why your celebrating or why your aunt and uncle badger the court for custody, full custody.

Like. Idk pisses me off man. It’s such a big part of why Wally is like that, ya know.

100% agreed lol

but like yeah I just. it’s a big part of him. I want a version of yjtv where it’s like that summer was great, everything’s the same, but once the school year starts, the team dances around the subject of how Wally’s become a little more withdrawn, a little more antsy, a little more hesitant to go home. wally who always kinda talked around the topic of his family and it wasn’t something anybody really picked up on until suddenly school starts and all he talks about are his aunt and uncle. wally who was at the mountain on thanksgiving and m’gann asks why he isn’t home with his family and he says “dad’ll kill me if I’m late” and leaves but she and zatanna just don’t know him well enough to know he wasn’t totally joking, and man, that’s the first time he’s mentioned either of his parents, ever. wally who needs this. wally who uses kid flash as an escape.

and every time flash comes to mount justice wally’s bouncing off the walls, like the version of him they met back in the summer is there again, at his peak. he smiles bigger, talks more. and it’s not like he’s stopped doing any of that, but once he started school, it began to feel just the slightest bit more forced, or like some kind of mask. and sometimes flash comes by and wally attaches himself to his mentor’s hip and they’ll overhear wally ask if he can come stay with him for the weekend and sometimes flash’ll say “sure, kid” and sometimes he’ll just give a sad smile and say “i’ll talk to your parents, see what i can do.” and wally won’t fully visibly deflate but it’s there, and those are the days that his attempts at flirting with m’gann are more out of nowhere and harder to watch, and those are the days he’s a little angrier and easily irritated, and those are the days he runs home from mount justice instead of taking the zeta tubes—he’s gotta clear his head. he’s got to pull himself together, force his hopes and dreams down into a place his parents can’t find. that they can’t rip away from him and tear apart until there’s nothing left but a blank slate for them to ruin.

because when he’s that young, at his core, wally west is a dreamer… and blue valley is where dreamers go to die.

Okay I’m going to say it, some of y’all treat the KOTLC tag like it’s a tumblr community instead of an organization system that gathers together everything people post and tag as KOTLC

the fact that eddie and maddie have never interacted outside a group setting is so funny actually. you cannot tell me those two wouldnt get on like a house on fire. i fear the day we get a solo maddie and eddie scene is the day we get buddie canon

[shoot-i-messed-up]

fav ships for the other gls? (besides hal)

oooooh super fun question tysm anon <33333

John Stewart -

the DCAU was basically my big introduction to DC as a whole, so I love him with Shayera, even though I know that's not really accurate to comics canon (as much as DC seems to pretend it is, which is lowkey giving "peaked in high school" vibes tbh).

Other than Shayera, I do like John with both Guy and Hal. There's decent canon evidence for both: when John thinks of who he can trust implicitly, he thinks of Guy, but when he picks Hal for a GL mission, Guy grumbles about "the brass" always picking favorites. I think John balances both of them out well in different ways. I think guyjohn and johnhal might be tied for me. Guyjohn would probably usually take the edge for me, but I just recently talked to an oomfie about this johnhal moment in a fic and.....well.

I'm waiting with bated breath to see Katma in my read of Green Lantern: Silver Age. I've heard so much about her. Possibly when I meet her, John/Katma will shoot up to the top of my fave John ships.

Guy Gardner -

I've read a decent chunk of JLI just so I could see some Guytora. I didn't even get far enough to see some real Guytora tbh, I'll have to return to JLI some day. So while i LOVE seeing guytora fanart and stuff, I don't actually know this ship that well

Other than guytora, I like Guy with any of the other Four Corpsmen tbh, he has great chemistry with all three. Guy and Hal have very interesting parallels, though I think their personalities are very aggressive and would clash long-term; Guy and Kyle seem very sweet; and Guy and John are complementary in kind of a red oni, blue oni way. Out of these three, I think guyjohn takes my fave for Guy.

Kyle Rayner -

I still haven't read Kyle's run of GL tbh (SORRY KYLE but I'm trying to get thru all of GL: Silver Age and moving forward with that)

which means that the only prominent ship I have seen with Kyle is Kyle and Soranik Natu, and I have to be honest...I actually think they work really well together. I think they're complementary in that Kyle gets Soranik to open up and Soranik help balances Kyle. Plus, the artist x doctor thing? IDK!! it works! (until it doesn't, but u get my point)

Jessica Cruz and Simon Baz - I haven't read their run either SORRY GUYS. But as far as I have seen of these two, I see them as best friends.

Jo Mullein - currently, Syzn of the Cliffs no question (the other guy is a bit of an ass, even if he is a more loveable one by the end of Far Sector). Would absolutely be open-minded to new Jo ships, however, now that she's been outside the City Enduring and with the main GLs for a while. Would love to see her get with more alien gals.

Alan Scott - I read Alan Scott: The Green Lantern (2023) as my big introduction to the character, and I do know now that Vladimir Sokov didn't really exist before that and that it was kind of a huge retcon when they could've used Jimmy... but yeah I have to say Alan and Vladimir is my favorite Alan ship. Alan and Jay Garrick interest me, but I haven't seen them together as much as I have seen Vladimir and Alan and....well. it's doomed yaoi. they knew what they were doing.

Kilowog - Hal no diff, not just because I actually really like Halowog but also because I don't really know if Kilowog has had any fleshed-out love interests? He's had his mate who afaik is unnamed, and he had that alien lady from GLTAS... but I also do really like Hal and Kilowog together. I used to be so-so about it, but I've basically done a 180 (especially after the whole Constructowog business omg). And as i've said before, I think my favorite dynamic is Hal x [stabilizing presence].

Soranik Natu -

my fave Soranik ship is a tie between Soranik/Kyle and Soranik/Iolande.

Soranik/Kyle has had more canon interactions, and they do complement each other out well, like I said earlier! HOWEVER! while I did say that Kyle got Soranik to open up, honestly Soranik chose that by herself, Kyle just made a safe space for her to do so. someone else could fulfill that role for her. And while I did say that Soranik let Kyle process his grief, what I was really thinking about was the moment where she suggests that he make a mural of all the deceased GLs.

Soranik/Iolande has a lot of potential!!!! I have talked to a moot about this recently, but they have UNTAPPED levels of tension and conflict. Like, Soranik chose Iolande to be her sector partner, but Iolande is a PRINCESS, and this has mostly manifested in the text as just "oh haha it's funny that she has to balance the bureaucracy of being a ruler with the resposibilities with being a GL, she's so busy all the time xD" when it is so odd and seems to go completely ignored that Soranik comes from a planet where their previous GL was the ruler (albeit a despot, which Soranik and Iolande both hate on principle), and that GL was depised SO MUCH that both Katma and Soranik had to deal with the lingering hatred so many years later. so WHY would soranik choose someone who she knew was going to inherit the throne and all the political power that entails as her fellow GL???

I think it could be a really interesting contrast between Iolande and Soranik if Iolande was super political and kind of an activist (she is canonically very interested in the socio-political aspects of the GL's role) whereas Soranik specifically tries to stay apolitical because she fears gaining any political power and meddling in politics or, God forbid, becoming a Sinestro-like figure, because of her planet's history

THEY COULD HAVE SO MANY PARALLELS TO SINHAL!!! OUGHHH SINHAL COULD HAUNT THE SORALANDE NARRATIVE!!!! u would think that obviously Sinestro = Soranik and Iolande = Hal in this parallel because of their respective color rings (at least, once Soranik is kidnapped by Sinestro and forced to be a Yellow Lantern), but I also think that this parallel could be way more complex than that. Iolande being the monarch of her planet might actually make Sinestro see more of himself in her than in Soranik. Also, Sinestro+Iolande and Hal+Soranik have more similarities in terms of personalities. IT COULD BE COMPLEX AND AND LAYERED AND IT COULD BE SO SO INTERESTING

(Plus, space wlw!!)

THEY COULD BE BUTCH4FEMME

actually no my favorite Soranik ship is Soranik x being in canon comics again. when will my wife return from the war.

Thaal Sinestro (I'm counting him because he used to be a GL + he is a prominent character of the GL franchise + AFAIK he is currently a GL in canon comics as of currently) - Hal, no diff. Although honestly I do think their dynamic is better in canon if sinhal isn't ever actually a thing because I think the romance might distract from how tragic their relationship is.

^ THIS QUOTE AND HAL'S FACE ALWAYS FUCKING GETS ME. "That's the tragedy of all of this, Jordan. Hal. We'll always be friends." so why don't you fucking shoot me actually.

Aya (I'M COUNTING HER TOO IDC IDCCCC SHE'S A GL TO ME) - Razer, no diff. I also have very normal feelings about Isaac and Claire Finn from The Orville, tysm for asking.

Am I forgetting anyone important? Eh, whatever this is long enough as is.
