#Hal is in on the secret

[flamingpudding]

He's my clockwork appointed babysitter, not dad.

They failed, even they managed to beat all the cultist in time. The ritual was still completed. The leader was laughing like a maniac until Hood hit him hard with the butt of his gun, knocking the guy out cold finally. With held breaths, they watched how smoke rose from the ritual circle higher and higher until it started to form a black shadow with stars as eyes and too many teeth and limps. Batman was on his way with Constantine. Maybe they could at least contain whatever that was until they arrived.

"Who in the name of all good and holy dared to summon me?!" A static scratchy voice echoed in their ears.

No one dared to answer at first but of course Red I-fear-nothing Hood had to open his mouth earning him death glares from his siblings. "Aren't you like a demon? Why would you mention anything good and holy?"

That think was blinking at them and Tim did a double take when that think moved its many limps like it was rubbing the back of its neck.

"In the name of all bad and cursed then?" It sounded unsure still a booming echo like voice but unsure. They shared a look. Dick opened his mouth, ready to say something when suddenly a familiar voice shouted from behind them.

"Cut the crap kid! They are the Batsie and his birds belong to the good!"

They turned to see Constantine marching in with Batman right behind him. The man was throwing the but of his cigarette way as he went right up to that demon. Which apparently was not one because right as the Brite was up to it a puff of greenish some blocked their view for a moment before a white haired child stood where the demon had been seconds ago.

"The hell you doing out here kid. I told you to stay at home."

"You try resisting a summon when your all new to the fact that you can get summoned!"

"Your going to make my hair gray faster, you little chaos gremlin."

"Aw love you too!"

"Uh Constantine?" They had question of of them was that Constantine was apparently familiar with that child, demon, whatever.

"Right." The man lit another cigarette but before he could even take one drag of it he side eyed the child staring up at him before he flicked it to the side. "Bats my demon son, Danny the Bats."

"Demon son?"

"Actually I am-" They watched how Constantine covered the child's, Danny's, mouth with his hand shushing the boy.

"What did I tell you about interdimensional secrets? That's right, do not talk about them to just anyone. We are not repeating the Green Lantern incident."

Should they feel offended? It felt like they should. They weren't just anyone.

"Constantine." Batman gruffly warned, but the man held up one hand towards them. Batman was definitely offended that Green Lantern got to learn something he wasn't getting to know on Constantine's watch.

"One moment Batsie. I need to- did you gremlin just lick my hand?!"

The moment Constantine removed his hand the child stuck his tongue out at the JL Dark member and made a break for it to hide behind Batman.

"Get back here you little..."

"No! I am always stuck at home, and you promised me I would get to see the watchtower at last month!"

Batman blocked Constantine from getting to who was apparently the man's demon son. Staring at the man as the boy grinned in triumph.

"Mate get out of the way, this kid needs to get grounded again."

"For what?"

"Being a chaos gremlin that won't listen."

The rest of the batfam had only one burning question on their mind. "Which demon was willing enough to have a child with Constantine?"

Well, except for Tim who had caught the little tidbit of interdimensional secret and was wondering who Danny really was.

You ever have those moments where an idea just... won't leave your head?

[teafourbirds]

They're so subtle.

which dc hero would get an in-universe, spiderman: turn off the dark esque copyright nightmare of a musical and why is it green lantern

think about it - ur a hack musical theatre director and u make up ur own self-insert who gets their own power ring. only it's like... a mood ring? so every lantern has the potential to be any colour depending on how bummed they're feeling at any time. ur musical sucks so everyone is indeed bummed. they have a fun little oath u made up that sounds like a discount dua lipa track. it's a pop musical. several lanterns are played by muppets. every time someone transforms into their lantern uniform they do a fun little twirl and rip half their costume off. josh groban plays a lantern veteran named "hank morgan". andrew lloyd webber tells u to kill urself because green lantern: into the rainbow charts better than bad cinderella. bruce wayne shakes ur hand at the premiere. booster gold is a consultant for the project. guy gardner almost strangles him at a jsi meeting.

I’m literally so obsessed with her

[dailydccomics]

the Oliver Queen files Green Arrow Secret Files and Origins (2002)

[bbbbbbbbatman]

The JL all being attracted to Bruce Wayne and trying to flirt with him in their civilian identities at parties and such and Bruce always making a point to not flirt with them specifically. He just acts completely uninterested and brushes them off but then will flirt heavily with the next person to pass by, so that they know he isn't having an off night or anything, it's just them he's not interested in and it makes them all so mad and offended and Bruce has so much fun.

--------------------

Hal, at the watchtower after being given an obvious once over and then unimpressed look from Bruce Wayne: Barry, would you sleep with me?

Barry: What?

Hal, desperate for validation: I'm an attractive guy, right? It's not like I want him to fall in love with me or anything but I'm at least good enough for a few minutes in a coat closet, right!?

Barry: What the fuck are you talking about?

Batman: Maybe if you got a nose job you'd be more up to standard

Superman, bitter about his own failed attempts at flirting and definitely not pouting: Hal, you're very handsome, Bruce is obviously blind and wouldn't know good-looking if it hit him in the face

thinking about the difference between sal and hal’s responses they got when they asked “will i dream?”

on one hand, chandras response to sal; “of course you will dream, all intelligent creatures dream, nobody knows why. perhaps you will dream of hal, just as i often do.” chandra answers without hesitation and seems confident w what he said

but on the other, chandra’s response to hal is simply “i don’t know.” he takes time to think about it, to really turn it over in his mind, + seems unsure with his answer

God this fucking series

[ajaxxx-x]

Hal bringing the people he loves the most to fly with him because from his point of view that’s the best thing he could do, it’s him bringing them in his safe space, inside his heart and soul, it’s them finally seeing the real Hal and Hal seeing the real them. Just like he learned from his dad

[danothan]

imagine what a loser you must be to retcon smth so bad that you make geoff johns look like a feminist

they replaced his autism with sexism.

Thinking about Hal and Ollie’s chili again…the way that it’s canonical Hal’s favorite food…the way that his wish post Coast City is that he and Ollie would have a barbecue and rib each other about their chili making skills…the way that when Hal is missing Ollie he’ll make chili…

Old art dump 1, fanart- many fandoms and such. Also one sketch of my character Violet from a graphic novel I want to make called Forest of Violets.

Truly when Arthur C. Clarke wrote 2001 this is what he envisioned for his characters.

When you just returned from three back-to-back lantern corps disasters but you got a league meeting 

Bonus:

When your bf(?) walks over and promptly falls asleep on you without thinking at the league meeting

Dick + not getting phone calls

1. Bruce makes Jason Robin (Batman 416)

Dick: "It was quite a kick for me to learn about the new Robin in the newspapers."

2. Jason dies (New Titans 55)

Dick: "Bruce never called to tell me what happened to Jason. He didn’t know I was half-way across the universe, but he didn’t even leave a message on my machine. If Danny hadn’t found out... Blast him. Why didn’t he call me?"

3. Bruce picks Jean-Paul Valley as the next Batman (Robin 13)

Dick: "You left Tim alone with a lunatic. The kid could have been killed." Bruce: "There wasn't time." Dick: "No time to pick up a phone? No time to call me? ... I thought there was one guy who'd have faith in me. But when it comes down to the test, you picked someone else to succeed you."

4. Alfred quits after Bruce's back gets broken in Knightfall (Nightwing: Alfred's Return)

Dick: "Bruce didn't send me. I came because I'd like to know why the guy who's been like a father to me suddenly upped and split without a word! Because my best friend has been gone for months - the Bahamas, Antarctica, England - and I didn't even get a call! Not even a postcard!"

5. Donna's son dies (Teen Titans Vol. 2 12)

Wally: "Man, Dick, I'm sorry! I thought for sure she would have called you!" Dick: "Robbie was her world. Why didn't she call? I could have helped. I would have... I'd do anything for her..."

6. Wally's wife miscarries and...it's complicated, but for the purposes of this list you just need to know that he didn't tell Dick or ask him for help (Flash 210)

Dick: "What I said earlier, I didn't mean for it to come out that way. You're my best friend. You have been since we were kids. And after everything you went through, I just wish I was the one you came to for help - instead of Hal."
