I Want Roy To Be Grant's Dad And I Want Al To Meet His Son And Dote On Him Are Two Thoughts That Can

I want Roy to be Grant's dad and I want Al to meet his son and dote on him are two thoughts that can and do coexist in my head

I really think everyone needs to truly internalize this:

Fictional characters are objects.

They are not people. You cannot "objectify" them, because they have no personhood to be deprived of. They have no humanity to be erased. You cannot "disrespect" them, because they are not real.

romance is lame and overrated i love mentor/mentee relationships in fiction and especially when theyre sort of fucked up

Jay Garrick is everyone's grandfather example #372:

That time he chased Captain Marvel down to give him a talking to because Captain Marvel went on a date with Stargirl, a teenager and minor, and no one knew that Billy was actually also a teenager.

Perpetual Dad and Grandfather ™ Jay Garrick to the rescue. Jay "Courtney has only been in the JSA for a few months but she is now my responsibility and child" Garrick. Mr. "I will threaten a literal god in his home town if I need to"

Anyway I love this man and rip Billy for trying to have a social life

Michael I know your villain arc was a phase caused by idiot homophobes accidentally shooting each other. I realize you might have some feelings regarding the fact that your mother left you to be raised by your unnamed grandmother to play lavender footsie with the GL, only to later take a motherly role to his long- lost adult children.

Why are you shooting your (ex?) stepbrother with a psychic attack ukulele??

Thinking about how Harlequin’s Son / Michael Maybe was conceived of as having been on Obsidian rogue at some point or another- queer themes and family ties aside, I think it would be really funny if DC used this to canonize humor as Obsidian’s primary weakness.

No, I’m not joking.

His powers are deeply tied to his emotions, and his ability to torment people with their own soul/sins/fears/traumas is one of the most terrifying in the DC universe. How hilarious would it be if the best way to keep him from doing so…was to make him laugh?

(As I’m sure the Harlequin’s Son would attest, easier said than done)
