Alan Scott should be more of a horrific fucking cunt again, I miss when I could pick up any comic Alan Scott was in and say "Jesus fucking Christ, Alan" multiple times before the story was over.

"Bruce Wayne collects orphans teehee"

I don't care about that anymore

Somebody make me memes for how many parents Grant Emerson is collecting.

Somebody give my boy more parents.

grant emerson is really the character of all time he could show up in pretty much any book and justify it by pointing to another character at random and being like “yep that’s my parent” and nine times out of time HE’D BE RIGHT

The Dick-Donna-Roy triangle is so so so important, but the problem is Dick and Donna are always picking each other, and Roy knows this, and it taps into Roy's deepest insecurity, this bone deep belief he has that no one will ever choose him first, he's always the second choice. Ollie chose Hal and a road trip across the universe over Roy, Connor becomes Green Arrow and Roy's not even in consideration. Dick will choose Donna, Donna will choose Dick.

It feeds into his belief that there's something wrong with him, why is he only chosen as a backup, why does everyone leave him for someone/something else.

in a lot of ways jay is the only member of this trio to achieve true freedom. the other two are constrained by expectation in a way jay just isn't, refuses to be. nia, bound by fate. jon, bound by destiny. jay with no ties, no legacy, the inheritor of nothing, the prince of nowhere. he will bend destiny as he pleases

fact: gamorra is described as "an outlaw asian pacific island nation in the western pacific ocean".

also fact: while we are by no means a monolith, there ARE a ton of commonalities shared between east and southeast asia (the regions which gamorra is presumably closest to), and considering that gamorra is derived from japanese influence, then realistically speaking here's what i think the lore breakdown of gamorra would be like (plus occasional jay headcanons!):

some basic holidays/holiday variations include: - lunar new year: self-explanatory - mid-autumn festival: also self-explanatory. probably some kind of pastry/baked good/sweet localized to gamorra for this one (e.g.: korea has songpyeon, a few countries have mooncakes/mooncake variants, etc.). it's probably one of the things that jay is homesick for most. - qixi festival variant: this one is more of a POSSIBLE holiday rather than something i actually think happens like lny and the mid-autumn festival, because it's not as common. it celebrates the story of the cowherd and the weaver girl, which is originally a chinese folk-tale with multiple versions across asia, so i think gamorra could also have their own version of it too! - ghost festival variant: another one that i think is a possible holiday, although with much higher chances than the qixi festival as it's more widely celebrated. there are multiple variants of it in asia and largely takes place in late summer.

pearl culture: this is once again a possibility, but some of the world's largest pearl producers are east and southeast asian countries. korea has a whole art around mother-of-pearl lacquerware (which actually largely uses abalone shells). i don't know what kind of gemstones gamorra might have, but it's a high chance pearls could be one of them, or at the very least, they find some value in mother-of-pearl art and other shellfish uses

climate: they definitely have a monsoon season. things are going to get hot, wet, and humid in the summer months—i bet you anything jay's got memories of wind and rain blowing in his face when a lot of the rest of the world has sunny skies

religion: whether gamorra has its own distinct/main/official religion or not, there is a very likely chance that buddhism is a close second. pretty much all the top countries that follow buddhism are in asia, and i'd love to know if there are any temples on the island. also, jay offering incense at his mother's grave . . .

performing arts: i'd LOVE it if gamorra had their own version of lion dance and/or drum culture. there are a lot of variants of it, and based on geography i'd assume that gamorran lions most closely resemble southern lions. i can very easily imagine little jay venturing out with his mom and being in total awe of the lion dancers bounding around

cuisine: i don't think enough people realize how much of the cuisine is steaming (zongzi and variants, fish, bao, etc) and pickling/preserving/fermenting (usually veggies of some sort). gamorra likely has a ton of local dishes that uses these methods, and i like to imagine that jay's fridge is probably stocked with pickled veggies and ready-to-steam stuff in his freezer.

myths/folklore: - the twelve animals of the zodiac, which i think gamorra is very likely to have. a ton of countries have their own versions aside from the original in chinese, and sometimes the animals change depending on what's more common to the country, which could be the case for gamorra. jay probably knew the zodiac for his birth year before he knew anything about the astrology sign for his month (speaking from experience of myself and many others i know LMAO) - a little less likely but still very much possible is their own version of a fox spirit. not every country has them, but japan, china, korea, and vietnam all have their own, so i don't think it's too far out of the park to think that gamorra could have one, too! - not to sound stereotypical but i do have to mention that if there are any dragons in gamorran folklore then they are NOT going to be angry fire-breathing dragons!!! especially since gamorra is an island nation!!! most east and southeast asian dragons are attributed to water and are believed to have control of thunderstorms. they're basically weather deities (a . . . wildstorm . . . you could call it . . .)

games: i can't speak for anything too specific or local, but mahjjong is widespread throughout east and southeast asia with variants, and japan has its own standard version with different rules and number of tiles used to play. there's a chance that gamorra could have its own version as well. the core components, however, pretty much don't change, which means jay could easily fall asleep to the sound of tiles click-clacking as they're being shuffled around in the next room

there was a lot more i wanted to include but honestly this was getting way too long, so maybe i'll just make a part two??? i'm just SO curious about how this would look, and if anyone was interested in some of gamorra's cultural aspects, i think these would make up some of the basics!!

With the way Dc has canonised that Kyle admires Hal, I really, really like the idea of Kyle originally admiring Superman like he did in canon, and then through the years learning more and more about this dead man who, yes, did massacre an entire corps and destroy himself in grief, but who was also a deeply, deeply kind and good man who loved with his entire heart, with John telling him that Hal helped me grieve my wife and not lose my mind and Guy going Yeah he was a dick but he never gave up on me even I was at my worst and Clark reminiscing that Hal was a good man, I miss him and Wally laughing that Uncle Hal used to sit with me for hours helping me with physics because I never understood it and Alan saying Hal was the best of us, even more than me and Bruce is silent but there’s clear grief for a friend and Kyle then deciding that, yes, this is the man I want to model myself after because who we are at our worst isn’t actually who we are, it’s what we become when we’re free to do what we want and Hal decided to do as much good as he could with his free will, and that’s who Kyle wants to be.

i really want jon and scandal to interact bc they’ve both been defined by their fathers for their entire lives but in different ways and i think they could parallel each other really nicely
