I'm Just Having A Good Time Scribbling And Maybe I'll Find A Consistent Style, Maybe I Won't, But I Love

I'm painting a practice bat symbol for my Black Bat cosplay

Still got 2 or so layers to go and I didn't stretch out the fabric enough but it looks good so far 🦇

HAL JORDAN/GREEN LANTERN & OLIVER QUEEN/GREEN ARROW in SECRET ORIGINS (1985) #50

reactions to Batman coming up to the Watchtower for a JL meeting without his cowl just wearing a domino mask, in order of hilarity:

oh no he’s hot (Clark)

he’s older than I thought he was (Diana)

he’s younger than I thought he was (Hal)

he has hair??? (Barry)

why do I recognize that scar above his left eyebrow? (both Dinah and Ollie, simultaneously)

good lord how is he so hot (still Clark)

Master Dick Grayson and his wee Padawan Damian Wayne

Sick Cass who only agrees to stay in bc she gets to man comms

Bruce: *fighting*

Cass with the sorest throat: I wouldn't have done that

It's her favourite sick activity. Just reviewing his fights in real time and going "You missed an opening. Too slow. He's going to attack you get ready. Wow your reaction time has gotten worse. Move or you'll get stabbed. Oh the kids are safe by the way they ran away while you were failing to win against this scrub."

Bruce, through gritted teeth while seething with rage: This is good. This is important. I need to know my weaknesses so I can squash them.

Cass: Took you two minutes. I would have done it in ten seconds with that leg sweep you missed the chance to do.

Bruce: Thank you Batgirl.

Cass: I think your joint pain is slowing you down. Can you bend your knees properly or do they crack with age?

Bruce:... I think I need radio silence to concentrate for a minute.

Cass: Brain is slowing down too if you can't multitask anymore. Sad.

Bruce: You know what let's see if there's anyone else for me to punch. I need that right now.

i think its funny when one of my mutuals makes a post like "comics are pretty great, you should try reading comics!" and people start shitting their pants in the comments because their moms were killed by a pack of wild comics in front of them as a babe and they cant read comics now because of the trauma. or whatever. Like you could just keep not reading comics. nobody's forcing you. + they're always addicted to batcest or poolverine too its hysterical like youre in our house

but i never imagined a dot quite as pale or as blue

what gets me about the green lantern corps is that—in addition to being a space fascist nightmare that deforms individuals into agents of its unflinching doctrine and sublimates goodwill into reverence for the law—it's also just really fucking stupid. before critiquing any minutiae aspect of its conduct you have to understand that the glc operates based on a very rudimentary hierarchy of brute force. for all of the guardian's posturing, the only thing justifying their authority as the in-universe law enforcement hegemon is their possession of the most powerful weapon in the universe. and every major appearance of the guardians since the bronze age has demonstrated how utterly out of touch they are. it's not wisdom or even competence keeping the corps in charge, it's the goddamn power ring. the green lantern code of conduct is literally only relevant because the consequence of disobedience is lack of access to the all-powerful weapon, and even then that all depends on the guardians ability to enforce it. the whole institution is fucked as soon as someone (parallax, sinestro, krona, literally anyone, etc) with more material power challenges it—and the guardians know it. which is why they're primarily preoccupied with micromanaging the lanterns' conduct and only personally appear to combat "evil" when it threatens the sanctity of the institution (read: their authority). the yellow weakness only exists as a safeguard against potential abuse!! but like breeds like. what the corps' indoctrination ironically creates is the perfect conditions for developing authoritarian ideology. thus the respective "falls" of its greatest agents are not aberrations but a product of its design—refer to this post by @dctrfate. any difference of intent becomes irrelevant when everybody’s a fucking cop. there is no reason for the green lantern corps to exist outside of its own self-justification.

another redraw rhe colors are a bit off but i gave up🚬

Together.
