Fuck Top and Bottom

Who wears the cardigans and is epitome of honey-in-tea, sarcastic bastard with parental issues & who is the leather jacket wearing, coffee drinking done-with-life little shit with parental issues

[incorrect-green-lantern-quotes]

"The Justice League get bodyswapped and have to figure out how to use each other's powers" but whoever ends up in the resident Green Lantern's body just can't get the ring to work. Like at best they get a little spark or glow.

The Green Lantern takes the ring, puts on their new body's finger, and immediately starts making constructs as usual. Because it's not the physical body that makes the ring work, it's the will and imagination of the user.

Bonus: The GL got swapped with Batman, who's like "No weird powers I need to adjust to? Perfect. Hand over my utility belt."

Carry On Countdown Day 19: Fluff

(Eight snakes, does Simon Snow have a thing for rabbits?) (What about vampires in rabbit suits?)  ~Excerpt from Chapter 1 of Wayward Bun

For those not in the know, my dearest friend @bookish-bogwitch is a genius. She has written TWO magickal mishap fics that turn Baz into an adorable bun---a bunBaz.

The other fic, Basil Pitch's Diary, is a masterpiece not only of narrative form, but it masterfully blends humor and angst and pining.

My love for bunBaz (and Em!) knows no bounds, so I could not resist dedicating some fanart to the fluffiest of all Bazzes for the third time this year ❤️.

If you have been watching my videos on mute, stop it immediately. Today's is a gem.

Today's pocket surprise: bunBaz

hc of mine: simon can handle spicy food but baz can’t for the life of him

OKAY SO BAZS LIST IN WAYWARD SON RIGHT. WHERE HES COMPLAINING ABOUT ILLINOIS AND THE SUN

he says something something something “I wish I could cast a happiness spell on him but there’s no fixing him” AND THEN THE IMMEDIATE NEXT ITEM ON THE LIST IS “the mage” (may he rest in pain). ‼️‼️‼️ WHAT WAS THE MAGE ALWAYS ON ABOUT FIXING SIMON. (Even thought he wasn’t broken to begin with) BUT LIKE. IDK IF THAT WAS DONE ON PURPOSE. BUT IT SURE IS A CONNECTION I MADE!!! Because idk how Baz would have known about that??? Like it doesn’t make sense for Simon’s character to. remember that the mage was very focused on fixing him, except subconsciously. So it’s not something he could like. Parrot back to Baz for Baz to make that connection is his list

mayhaps I am reading into this too much 💀💀

I just had a thought that another nickname that Captain Crybaby could have given to Kyle was Mistofolees (like the character from the Cats Musical) because in the Musical Mistofolees is the one who brings the cats' leader back and Kyle was the one who brings the corps back

Granted, that's assuming your version of Hal would even know enough about theater to make that comparison.

Hehehe this made me giggle. I love this thank you for sharing!

My Hal might not know the reference on his own, but he likes to learn about his neices and nephews interests so he can talk to them about it, especially when they were younger so maybe he learned through one of them (we can blame Helen)!

I'm gonna add this to my Kyle nicnames list tbh. For those of you that don't know, in my fic Fear and What Follows, I mention that each Earth Green Lantern has a nickname because if multiple of them are on the same mission they can't all go by Green Lantern and useing their names would reveal their identites and i do NOT like how DC handles secret identies (WHY ARE THEY YELLING EAROTHERS NAMES IN THE STREETS????). It also based off of military nicknames, which you usually get for silly reasons.

Other names I was thinking of for Kyle's nickname were

Colors

because he's an artist! would've been given to him by Dinah while he is on the League instead of Hal and just something that everyone calls him before the id reveal, and is also a cool nod to him becoming a White Lantern later!

Pretty Boy

bc he's a pretty boy! not much to say here!

Rat

he's my rat guys. and alley and his ring and- didn't end up useing it because Sinestro calls him ally rat.

Gromit

my friends idea! Bc he fights with Wally a lot (before they become friends ofc) and Wally is Wallace so Kyle gets to be Gromit. He's gonna be jokingly called this in my au but its not like an official nickname

Four

the fourth green lantern! Originally in my au they were gonna be differentiated by number but the nicknames are cooler and sillier

Spaceboy

he was gonna get this one from Donna and it would just kinda stick.

Trouble

This was the top contender because he is a trouble magnet! Went with Torchie in the end, but i got to use Trouble in a different Au so im happy bc I really like this one!

Guy was gonna be Souless (because he's a red head) before I went with One Hit and Hal was almost Highball (his airforce call sign) or Captian Weepy (the double C sounded better so I changed it), but everyone else I went with the first thoughts cz i did like them (Braincell for Jess, Vroom for Simon, Teeny Bopper/Teeny for Keli) but John it took me a long time to come up with Problem Child/pc. Still trying to think of Jo's (I rlly have to read far sector i'm a failure).

Thank you for reading and for your ask!

Hey everyone would be cool if I gave Baz-l a fucking jaguar sized bounty hunter as a friend, right. Would it help if I said he's from a predator species and fucking loves the thrill of the hunt more than the bounty itself. i just need that piece of shit to be humbled SO hard.

Unhinged Fic Rec Wednesday

This weekend I had the pleasure of inhaling Do As You're Told (50k, T) by @roomwithanopenfire. I somehow missed it when it came out a year and a half ago, and I decided to binge-listen with TTS while finishing a quilt. Bad call, because I spent half the time gaping unseeing at the sewing machine, completely enthralled.

This fic disguises itself as a fun little Watford-era magickal mishap. Simon accidentally casts a compulsion spell that makes Baz obey everything he's told. While maintaining a light tone, the story takes the implications of that seriously.

You know how in some fics, the real antagonist isn't a character, but trauma, or lack of communication? Well, here the antagonist is the human capacity for cruelty. It's not torture porn or anything; there's no violence, no gore. But the fic reminds us again and again of how everyone--good people--can be selfish, even sadistic.

It's uncomfortable, and challenging. There's this devastating moment near the end that felt like the author holding up a mirror to the reader who's telling themselves "but I would never..."

And it's a sweet, cute get-together. @roomwithanopenfire is some kind of magician for pulling this off. It's a lot more fun than I'm making it sound.

Do As You're Told (50k, T)

[incorrect-green-lantern-quotes]

it's so awesome to meet a fellow keli fan :0 i love her soooo much. i just caught up with all of her GL '23 appearances and... man that girl can just never catch a break Ever. she deserves like. 5 millions hugs and writers who actually know what to do with her.

praying to anyone who's listening that DC will take a chance and give her a solo series that actually does something with her half-assed origin story from YJ and Jessica's mind-reading from Thorne's run

Like, who created her gauntlet? I seriously doubt it was Iorl (the dying alien who Keli took it from) bc he clearly didn't know how to use it to defend himself. Presumably he was trying to impersonate an officer of the Green Lantern Corps but why?

And oh my god can we please get an actually cohesive backstory for Keli? DC did her no favors by marketing her as some genius who hacked into the Central Power Battery to get her powers and then turning around and making it the complete opposite. She was an orphan with no family barely surviving by scavenging machine parts from junkyards! She could have used that gauntlet for selfish gain like Iorl seemed to be telling her to but instead her first instinct was to seek out other heroes to learn from them and become one herself aauughhh

ahem-

High key, DC could easily do a limited 12-issue miniseries where Keli goes back and investigates who Iorl was and where the gauntlet came from. Make it a character-driven story that actually gets into the nitty gritty of who Keli is and why she's a hero that is worthy of the Green Lantern legacy. Probably with actual Green Lanterns to bounce off of.

I think Simon would make the most sense, since he's already friendly with Keli and is good with kids. Plus, he's a gearhead like her and DC doesn't really seem to have anything better for him to do. Only issue I can see is that he's not exactly the detective type, so maybe include Jo as well?

Tho if we're being honest, this hypothetical story would have the maximum chance of success if it was Hal. Y'know, since he is the most recognizable GL? Honestly I think it could work, Hal excels at being an uncle and I'd like to see him actually have a conversation with Keli.
