The Shade In A Far Off Future Sitting And Telling Stories Of Long Past Heroes, Keeping Their Legacies

The Shade in a far off future sitting and telling stories of long past heroes, keeping their legacies alive forever makes me sob uncontrollably

@garrus’s (very correct) tags:

#remember when he held an airport hostage #todd rice #alan scott #but that last line is so funny bc this is the same peepaw lantern #who told his upset daughter who was (correctly) worried about her boyfriend "no one's dead kiddo ur fine" #like yeah he'll beat people up for them he doesn't need much motivation punching people is his favorite hobby #but he'll be telling todd to man up while he does it

Enough with all the dramatics like “ooh~ Todd is out of control again… much angst… what will ALAN and poor JENNY do NOW??! Shadow powers and mental illness!!!” Like bruh Alan’s the one who slept with their mom, he’s gone insane/committed horrible crimes multiple times (institutionalizing his former teammate’s nephew for sleeping with his daughter more or less???). The man Is Not Sane either.

Next time comics have Todd ~struggling with his demons~ I want ppl to be all like ‘Yeah he gets this from Alan. Young man take this edible and go chill in a corner like your daddy did back then.’ And then the other half of the room hyperventilating because they made Todd cry and are genuinely terrified about what peepaw Green Lantern might do if he finds out.

Here she is, part1/?

IDK, I'd really appreciate this kind of thing. But I'm not really criticizing previous depictions, I just want to add this on top of everything. ⭐❤️

As a kid, you love Transformers for the big robots shooting at eachother and transforming into sport cars;

As an adult, you love Transformers because of the tragedy of the fallen civilazation of scholars and explorers now having been forced to fight in an endless war just to survive while being stranded on an alien planet but finding friendship and love with the natives and discovering how much they have in common thus creating hope for the rebuilding of their home.

I'm reading through golden age Green Lantern comics and increasingly unable to believe Doiby and Alan were not meant to be a couple. Not even in like a tumblrina always reads things that way, way, like

Like, this is just the most in your face part. The entirety of their early relationship is hinged on "Alan must feign interest in a woman to maintain the Alan Scott identity, while only Doiby, his companion he sought out of admiration, can be privy to his full self and it's secrets".

And now that it's just CANON that Alan was gay but closeted and frequented gay bars? Which like. Doiby MUST have been driving him to?
