JSA FANDOM!!! ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!

I am polling the fandom because I have opinions but other people may disagree

[ufonaut]

Alan Scott’s various breakdowns are by now relatively common knowledge in fan spaces but lately I’ve been reading a lot about one of my favourite JSA eras, their revival in All-Star Comics (1976), and I realised something that’s often forgotten is the fact that the consequences of what I’ve colloquially referred to as ‘the airport incident’ followed Alan around for very nearly a decade.

After GBC went bankrupt, Alan -- encouraged by the Psycho Pirate -- took his frustration out on the Gotham International Airport and landed himself & the JSA in some major trouble with the law (March 1978). After the loss of his livelihood, he proceeded to live in Jay Garrick’s guest room for almost a year until he was offered a job with Universal Broadcasting (November 1978). It would be another seven years until he’d run a broadcasting station again (December 1985), initially in LA and then once again in Gotham (of course, not without a couple other mishaps and rampages along the way, but that’s another story). 

Here, I offer a quick illustrated history of that period.

I gave my best to this city -- fought for its safety in all corners of the globe! And I was rewarded by being driven into bankruptcy while I was saving lives! // You don’t understand, do you? None of you understand! Don’t you see -- they’ll take it all away from you too! Everything you’ve worked for -- cared about -- built! That’s the price they charge for being a hero-- and it just isn’t fair! || All-Star Comics (1976) #68

That solves the world’s problem, Fate, but not mine! Now that you freed me from the Psycho Pirate’s controls, I’m taking my first clear look at myself in a while -- and I don’t like what I see. There isn’t much future for a bankrupt broadcasting magnate... and I’m too old to go back to engineering. || All-Star Comics (1976) #69

With Gotham Broadcasting gone for good, Alan Scott needs a new job-- and I don’t mind presuming on our old friendship to get one! // I’m through forgetting about my life! From now on, Green Lantern is taking a backseat to Alan Scott’s happiness! || All-Star Comics (1976) #70

You know, Jay, I think you saved my life by giving me this job. For the first time in months, I feel like a human being again -- and not just a part of the power ring! || All-Star Comics (1976) #71

There he is... outside his prestigious research laboratory. And the man with him bears an extraordinary resemblance to Green Lantern! || Showcase (1956) #98

It was really great of Jay Garrick to get me that new job at his Keystone City lab... but I miss my old Gotham! I’ve lived here too long-- know it too well... I just had to come back for a visit! // I haven’t really committed myself to finding a place of my own since Jay and Joan have been letting me use this guest room... || Green Lantern (1960) #108

Still haven’t gotten to open this letter from Universal Broadcasting... || Green Lantern (1960) #109

My confidence has been shaken since I lost my position at Gotham Broadcasting. Well, it’s time to put an end to that! I’ve been putting off opening this letter... knowing that it would force me into a decision-- but now... whatever it is... I’m ready to face it! || Green Lantern (1960) #110

Enough suspense, it’s no secret I’ve been pretty low since I lost control of my Gotham City TV station a while back. Well, I’ve asked you all here tonight to celebrate my re-entry into the field of broadcasting! You see, yesterday I completed financial arrangements for the purchase of a new station -- and what’s more, it’s located right here in the City of Angels! || Infinity Inc. (1984) Annual #1

TGS MEDIEVAL AU :0

Is this Historically accurate? no. Does that matter? no.

Alright, This is gonna be a lot, so thou shalt be warned

In the Au, Robert is a prince and Lanyon Sr. is the King, they rule over a small kindom somewhere in England - name TBA (so not like real monarchies which rule over entire countries etc.) The premise is basically; The Lanyon's personal/private doctor recently passed away so they call in a new doctor/chemist from Scotland - did you guess? yep, It's Jekyll. Hyde exists before Henry/Edward meets Robert (I haven't worked out the exact logistics about it yet, but I will) Jekyll/Hyde are more Chemists/Alchemists than Doctors but they are both still very good doctors regardless (so they don't really wear the 'plague mask' thing) I aged only Jekyll, Hyde and Lanyon down to about their early 20's so it matches around the original timing of when J&H met Robert in TGS. There are other smaller reasons but they aren't to important, all you need to know is that it doesn't really change anything

Lanyon is betrothed to Everly from a neighbouring kingdom -this is where it differs slightly from TGS, it's a political marriage not a lavender marriage. Neither Robert nor Everly are happy about this however, they are both only children in royalty so they don't really have an option.

Hyde is essentially the local gremlin that has in-built eyebags and a sense to sell you things not very discreetly that he probably shouldn't be selling. His Cape is comedically large and has a very extensive collection of illegal powders, drugs, and other nefarious items. Almost everybody knows Hyde becasue at some point they have all needed some rare item from him. - this is where the blackfog comes in (yes it exists!) the Blackfog is basically the same but Hyde really wants to go so he can buy/sell lots of items for his little side-business he has going on, however Lanyon Sr. is opposed to it and it's existence because well... illegal.

*Hyde also goes by: The Spirit of [insert Kingdom's name] at night (soooooo original, ik)

Jekyll stays pretty much the same, He really cares about his reputation so he can move up on the social ladder and create his own Science business at some point, and I mean he doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the King of all people, that wouldn't be a very good look, would it?

In this universe, The lodgers are all citizens of the small kingdom and they all sort of have different occupations/roles in the town. They can't all be scientists, but do not fear because they still as equally crazy and chaotic as before. Rachel is the Lanyon's personal chef but she also helps run the bakery in town with Mr. Doddle. Jasper looks after most of the animals and creatures in the kingdom, he used to be a farmer but moved to get away from home. I am yet to work out how Jekyll and Jaspers relationship dynamic stays the same in this universe but I will figure something out.

There is A LOT of Jekyon and Lanyde going on here, so I've got something for everyone, (there may or may not be a masquerade at some point...) and it's not just centred around romance, there is lots of other plot stuff happening so do not fear my ace/aro friends (or just people who aren't a fan of romance)!

That's most of it for now... I'll draw some more stuff at some point and give some extra details, If you have any questions please ask (my asks are open) I'd love to hear from you all!!! Don't be afraid to offer any suggestions or other criticisms. Maybe I'll write a fanfic one day who knows, we will see.

Thanks for listening to my rant (*^▽^*)

*Footnote - I don't think you guys realise how hard it was to make hyde not look like either A.) a fucking elf or B.) Link. Did I succeed? not sure.
