The thing that kills me the most about Green Lanterns in DC is that by all means and technicalities they should be a bigger threat than Superman or Wonder Woman -- as long as they keep that ring in their possession, that is, and even then it's really damn hard for a GL to lose control of their ring.

Even if they somehow get the body part with the ring (as long as it's not a vital one like the head) chopped off, they SHOULD still be able to control it because the ring answers to the wearer's willpower.

And you get these things in the actual Green Lantern comics, where they are allowed to be cosmic horror levels of powerful and unstoppable. As soon as they're placed in a comic where any other character, but mostly Batman, is the main focus, the writers immediately put all kinds of power blockers on the Lanterns to the point that it's contradictory.

They are more than cosmic level threats, and they also face cosmic level threats on the daily. But if they (along with Flash, tbh) were allowed to be as powerful as they really are outside their main comics, the other writers wouldn't really have much of a story to tell where Batman somehow defeats everyone with the power of prep time and deus ex machina.

And this kills me because if you don't actually engage with the source material that is Green Lantern comics, you end up with a wild misrepresentation of how powerful they truly are, and how in control they must remain at all times underneath the witty comebacks, the sexy poses, the homoeroticism and the jokes.

RoboticNebula's DC fics Masterpost

(1) I greatly enjoy lists, and I now have enough DC fics to do this; (2) today is my birthday! If you haven't yet, drop a little comment to celebrate (and if you already commented, please know I re-read it today, and I love you forever).

Short and sweet: (less than 5 k)

Iris West Isn't Dead Yet: Patty Spivot/Iris West (comics). Patty gets dragged into one Iris West’s life when she’s recruited to help investigate a murder. The twist? It’s Iris own murder and it hasn’t happened yet.

In Another Time, Will You Remember Me?: Eobarry (comics). Eobard drags Barry back from the dead. It's nothing they haven't done before, but this time Barry comes back wrong.

Summer Escapade: HalBarryIris (comics). Hal always thought he was the wild card of their throuple. He’s forced to reassess when Barry and Iris recruit him to help with Wally’s kidnapping.

Your Years and Mine: HalBarryOllie (comics). Barry's fifty-fifth birthday is fast approaching and his feelings about it are… complicated. Thankfully, Hal knows how to make him feel better about it.

Three Tiered Cake (5k to 10k):

Who Grieves the Devil when it Dies: Halbarry (comics). Eobard Thawne's body is found at the scene of a robbery on a Wednesday morning in June. Barry waits for the other shoe to drop.

Tomorrow Will Wait: Halbarry (comics). It’s an emotionally complicated day for Hal and really not an ideal time to get stuck in a time loop.

Come Along and Grow Old With Me; the Best is Yet to be: Halbarry (Comics). Three stories for Halbarry Week 2024.

Something Monstrous This Way Comes: Romantic Halbarry and uhhhh mutual parasitism Eobarry (comics). Being a Black Lantern has kept Hal pretty busy, and pretty tired and also on the brink of death - but that doesn't mean he's stopped paying attention to his best friend. And there's definitely something strange going on with Barry.

Three Course Meal (10k and more):

Entropy (Has Got Nothing on Us): Halbarry (comics). Stories for Halbarry week 2023.

Trisolar System: HalBarryOllie (comics). Hal goes MIA during a Green Lantern Corp mission on the other side of the Galaxy. It changes things between Barry and Oliver. (If Oliver ever hears that Hal did this on purpose, he’s throwing him back out in space.)

Both Hands Against the Throat of the World: Halbarry (comics). In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, Hal finds himself in deep trouble when he gets captured and sold to Eobard Thawne's citadel. Yet, opportunity for escape presents itself when Imperator Jay Garrick runs off with two of the citadel's prisoners, sweeping Hal up in a wild chase across the desert. A Mad Max: Fury Road AU.

Oldies (but goodies?) - or: the two I almost forgot because they date all the way back to 2016.

The Benefits of Partnership: ColdWave (CW Legends of Tomorrow/ The Flash). 4 times Len got them out of trouble + 1 time Mick did.

The Dragon and the Thief: ColdWave (CW Legends of Tomorrow/ The Flash). One day, Mick's lonely dragon routine is interrupted by a kid showing up and demanding he go kidnap her brother.

Will continue to update this as I write more. Thanks again to all of you for reading and I hope you enjoy!

urgent help!

as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he's starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don't know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can't afford it, in México the situation it's just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I'm forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I'm very sure I won't be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here's the link! 💕 thank you sm

dc vs vampires is so annoying because none of the gls are well written. hal would NOT have followed orders from (didio voice) dick grayson (/end of didio voice), hal would NOT have killed barry, john and kyle would NOT have been killed so stupidly because they don't get overwhelmed so fucking easily, guy would've gone insane yeah but for unrelated reasons. also alfred does not deserve the fucking green lantern ring. are you fucking kidding me. GIVE THAT TO OLLIE. OR WALLY. WHO WAS GREEN LANTERN ONCE. OR DINAH. LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE

[briarmoon1015]

im never gonna finish this, take it away from me.

[ID: unfinished halbarry fanart of hal floating up from barry’s embrace, both in costume (except for barry’s mask). off to the side is a colored thumbnail of an abstract galaxy behind them. hal says, “you’re gonna have to let go of me at some point,” cupping barry’s face in his hand. barry looks up at him wistfully but manages sarcasm in his response: “when you just got back? i thought you missed me, hal.”]

If I see another tiktok clearly about comics mentioning Wally being dead I’m going to cry

barry losing his powers feels to me the same as when someone tries to get a diagnosis for smth they KNOW they feel and are affected by, only to be told they have nothing wrong w them. barry is so defined by his themes of otherness, long before he was ever struck by lightning, that getting his powers felt like getting the answer to a question he always had. only NOW can he start living. only NOW does he feel like he has friends that finally understand him, a community to belong to, a purpose to serve and make sense of. he didn’t lose those things when he lost his powers necessarily, and barry, being barry, just tries to be grateful that smth so impermanent was able to enter his life and change it so deeply at all. sure, being the flash was alienating in its own way too, but wasn’t his entire life to begin with? and yet, a loss is felt here—if not in friendship and understanding, then in identity

[Secret Origins (1986) Annual #2]

i think that’s why reading abt what’s happening to him rn feels sm more devastating than how it’s portrayed on the immediate surface. it doesn’t just feel like barry’s lost smth, it feels like smth was taken away from him. it would be one thing if he was rly getting his life back like he claims, but after all that he’s learned and experienced, there is no old life to return to. there’s only new paths to forge ahead. the fact the he’s currently obsessing over what he’s able to do in his retirement by archiving the multiverse, literally stating that the malleable, unstructured nature of the universe makes him “uncomfortable,” feels like he’s doing everything he can to gain some sense of control over this loss. he won’t even let the ppl around him grieve for him, much less allow that of himself. in his absolute, unquestioning acceptance of his powerlessness, barry drives himself deeper in denial. even the very nature of documenting history is in itself an act of living in the past

[New History of the DC Universe #1]

and just like history repeating itself, he grieves alone

i wasn’t sure if this would develop as anything more than ambiguous crumbs of a trauma response (if it would even be treated as trauma), but between this and the “survivor’s guilt” conversation w wally, it seems to be intentional. denial, control, self-isolation: the barry allen stages of grief. on a meta level, maybe dc is struggling w barry’s identity too, so for his sake (and ours), i truly hope it all accumulates to smth. even if he doesn’t have speed powers anymore, barry allen will always be a speedster at heart
