#amethyst of gemworld

[cyanbeetle]

Dcoodles! Thank you for the requests :)

[fantastic-nonsense]

DC needs to just hand me the keys to Gemworld because this? This is not it.

Amy I swear I can fix what Bendis did to you and your lore, I promise!

[aboutzatanna]

My ideal Justice League Dark Sentinels of Magic line up:

Wonder Woman/Diana of Themyscira (leader)

Zatanna Zatara (co-leader)

Blue Devil/Dan Cassidy (muscle)

Nightshade/Eve Eden (transport)

Amethyst of Gemworld (Gemworld rep, also muscle)

Aqualad/Garth of Shayeris (Atlantean rep, mystic knowledge)

The seventh spot would be a rotating spot that could be filled with someone like say, Enchantress/June Moon, Captain Marvel/Billy Batson, Deadman/Boston Brand, Zachary Zatara, Etrigan the Demon/Jason Blood or Zauriel.

Phantom Stranger, Madame Xanadu and Doctor Occult will do their usual exposition thing.

Dr/Fate Khalid Nassour will be a part of the JLA or JSA as their primary magical ally. (My larger DC plan is for each member of the Trinity to have their own signature team and this would be WW's).

As for the team itself, there is a lot of potential here with Diana and Zee with their warrior and magician dynamic. Diana is familiar with the Greek side of the magical world but Zatanna would have a better understanding of the bigger picture. Blue Devil and Zatanna are both performers so there is an interesting dynamic there, at the same time Dan and Even are both hardcore Catholics meanwhile by all indication Zee was likely raised Catholic but isn't that into the religion. Amethyst and Eve both have such extreme contrasts in both appearance, personality and history, any interaction between them will likely be hilarious.

Garth is such an underrated, under appreciated character. He's one of those DC characters that seemingly floundering with no direction to go in. However, Obsidian Age really endeared me to the character and also the idea of Zee being a second mentor to him.

Just as WW would have more specialised knowledge about Greek mythology, I imagine Garth would have more esoteric knowledge about Atlantis which even characters like Zatanna wouldn't be privy to.

He would be the team's second sorcerer and also his youth, vulnerability and sense of uncertainty makes him ideal for being the heart of the team.

That's it. Let me know what you think.

Time to pick a new Queen

Vote in this highly scientific poll:

The way I figure it, is Royalty is a highly outdated concept that needs to die. But if there's going to be a queen, lets at least make it an honest popularity contest.

So here's 16 different Queens and Princesses, mostly from fiction, who I think we can all agree would be a better option than the inbred offspring of a dead colonial power.

Each round will run about 24 hours over the next few days. Round one ends Noon Tuesday, etc... So come back each day for the next match.

The starting lineup for head-to-head contests are:

Marceline the Vampire Queen vs

Sailor Moon, Guardian of Love and Justice

Mia Thermopolis from "The Princess Diaries" vs

Bai Ling, B-Movie Queen

The Borg Queen (Star Trek) vs

Mothra, Queen of Monsters

Bianca Del Rio, Drag Race Winner Season 6 vs

Miss Elizabeth, First Lady of Wrestling

Queen of Swords vs

Persephone, Queen of the Dead

Tina Turner, Queen of Rock (retired) vs

Madonna, Queen of Pop

Princess Peach, Mushroom Kingdom vs

Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld (DC comics)

Dejah Thoris, Queen of Mars vs

Princess Leia of Alderaan/Rebel Scum

House-ad for Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld (1983).

[protytwo]

An ad from Amazing Heroes for one of the strangest Legion of Super-Heroes tie-ins -- The 1987 Amethyst mini-series. The completely unasked for origin of Mordru on Gemworld with a surprise appearance by the White Witch on the last two panels of the last issue. Does this story make Mordru a more interesting character? No. But does this story add to the richness of the Gemworld setting? Also no.

[haveyoureadthiscomic-poll]

I wish Amethyst was a more popular DC property because it just adds something interesting to general DC lore, and is basically the first western Magical Girl property, although possibly they didn't know what that was in 1983.

[trucywright]

It’s wild to me how YJ 2019 and Amethyst 2020 actually made Amethyst more child friendly than the 80s comics, which by all accounts you would assume would’ve been sparkly and glittery and kinda talking down to girls with little actual plot or real themes.

Do you know how often they show Amethyst or her friends killing people in the 80s comics? The horror from the Varn, Opal, and Carnelian’s death scene? The fantasy world politics? One lady being poisoned so her daughter could take the throne, Granch being strangled to death, volume 2 is one giant dark fantasy story.

It’s like they stripped away everything except “magic gem princess” and it’s really disappointing. The 80s comics treated it seriously and yeah volume 2 probably went too far off track, but I much prefer volume 1 and 2 to this watered down version.

The only good change is getting rid of the whole Shazam transformation because ick.

[fantastic-nonsense]

I've asked this question before elsewhere, but I'm super curious: If you could make, cast, write and release your own DC movie, what would you do? Would you give Cass her own flick, do a proper Birds of Prey, or something else like the origin of Darkseid? Very curious!

I have four separate movies that I personally would die to do if I was ever given the chance and infinite money:

a proper Birds of Prey movie that's the comic-accurate lineup vs. Shiva and Cheshire (plus maybe the Ravens). Shiva gets to be the secondary antagonist, specifically for Dinah, and ends up fighting on the BoP's side against the Ravens in the final act.

an Amethyst/Gemworld movie that leans into both the sword & sorcery and magical girl aspects of the lore

a wuxia-style Cassandra Cain Batgirl movie that adapts the "medicore for a lifetime or perfect for a year" arc

No Man's Land as a Disaster Movie™

That being said....did I once plan out my personal vision for a coherent and connected DC Cinematic Universe because I was so immensely frustrated at WB, complete with a full 3 movie+8-season show story treatment for how the Batfamily would be handled? Yes. Yes I did.

[radioactive-earthshine]

It's not quite how things work on Gemworld but it's comics and thus anything can and will happen but if Kon stayed there he could have become a magical girl in the literal sense.

The New Queen: Final Round Voting

Persephone, Queen of the Dead!

VS

Mothra, Queen of Monsters!

the final round!

This is is! Once this final campaign of voting is done it's winner takes all! Will we be subjects of the Queen of the Underworld from ancient mythology? Or will the flying Kaiju of modern Japan be our lifelong protector?

Your votes will decide!

Again, below here are tags of people who've previously shared this event, in hope they will once again for the final time.

Thank you all so much for having fun with this along with me!
