Halbarry - Tumblr Posts
Barry pining so obviously about Hal that everytimes he is around him, he starts talking so fast that Hal has to put an hand on his mouth and asks him to say it again. slowly.
But Barry would be incredibly distracted by the touch and just stare at him, before trying to speak again. as slow as asked.
After they started dating, Barry would do it again from time to time. Calling Hal nicknames or petnames without him knowing until Hal would kiss him and ask to say it again.
“Sorry, were you saying something?”

IMAGE 1: Lovecore-themed Halbarry fanart of Barry Allen daydreaming about Hal Jordan. Barry is in a dress shirt with heart buttons and rolled up sleeves underneath a heart-patterned argyle sweater vest. In his Flash ring-adorned left hand, he fidgets with a heart-themed pen. He rests his chin in the other hand, wearing a FitBit with a beating heart on its screen, as his blushing cheek is pressed up into his bright, distracted eyes and obscures an obvious smile. He looks distantly to the corner as a thought bubble floats above him, playing out a montage of his favorite Hal traits as follows: his freckles and budding graying hairs, his smile revealing a chipped tooth gap, and his tummy showcasing lovehandles and a happy trail as his shirt lifts up.
IMAGE 2: Lovecore-themed Halbarry fanart of Hal Jordan daydreaming about Barry Allen. Hal is in a dress shirt and pilot jacket, decorated in various heart patches. He’s also wearing heart stud earrings and heart dog tags. He sits back casually with one arm resting on his stomach and the other leaning back on a couch. He turns his head to the side into the palm of his hand, squishing his face and obscuring a slight smile, playing off his bashfulness for nonchalance. His eyes are half-lidded, looking away to the side, as a thought bubble floats above him, playing out a montage of his favorite Barry traits as follows: his strong yet slender hands fidgeting with his Flash ring, his beaming eyes glancing in Hal’s direction, and a running shot accentuating his ass and thighs in gym shorts.

There’s something to all this something about Barry’s connection to Hal’s humanity. Hal’s bravery coming from him having nothing he’s afraid of losing.
kissing superheroes w/ flying powers yields mixed results
exhibit A: barry’s grounding technique for hal 💗
(see exhibit B)
i have my versions of the flash and green lantern for this movie dream of mine too and i self indulgently decided they are dating
It was at this moment that Hal realized, he was not straight
I got a new tablet for Christmas! My old one was, quite literally, falling apart so it had to be replaced. I bet it's happy in retirement :3
Blue Lantern Barry Allen my beloved 🥺 (Hal calls him BlueBarry :3)
Below the cut are the flats :3
Just reading some comics and saw a panel I thought you might like. :)
ah fuck, characters reminiscing always get to me ;__;
but i will never ever get over that fond way these two talk to and abt each other. especially when they’re poking fun, you can just hear the love in their voice it’s SICK.
the halbarry love language is annoying each other, but even more than that, it’s being each other’s exceptions
WHAT DID I JUST SAY
HALBARRY WHEN THEIR FAVORITE COLORS ARE EACH OTHER LETS FUCKING GOOOOO ❤️💚❤️💚❣️❣️❣️
Barry to Bruce: Hal and I bought tickets late and each wound up in middle seats on the same row.
Barry: I've already apologized to the people beside me 10 times. He's sharing beef jerky with his people and might be in someone's wedding.
Bruce to Barry: That's why I fly private.
one of my favorite, if not my favorite tropes in any media is the super dude-bro / man's man that could bag any woman and has multiple women throwing themselves at him but he ends up falling in love with some dude that nobody would've ever expected him to fall in love with
Halbarry Week Day 1: Hero/Civilian
Now Barry has to figure out how to explain to the rest of the CCPD why Green Lantern barged into the station and kissed their best scientist
i have had only halbarry on my brain for 3 days straight
Imagine JL about to celebrate Halloween, where no one knows each other's identity. Superman thinking to dress as Jack from Titanic just for kicks and thought it would be funny if Batman dressed up as Rose
Superman: Batman, would you like to be Rose to my Jack? *Winking aggressively with a rose in mouth*
Batman: *too busy arranging documents* Why? Do you wanna die like him?
Superman: *almost tearing up* n-no..I wanted to be love of your life
Batman: *dramatically turning* oh oh..
Rest of the JL looking at them with stoic face
Aquaman: Do they always have to do it?
Green Lantern: We get it you guys are dating!!! No need to make us feel more lonely!
Some time later...
Flash: Green Lantern are you dressing up as trash?
Green Lantern: excuse moi? Why the actual fck would I?
Flash: cause I wanna take you out *lip bites*
Green Lantern: you should stop spending time with supes
Flash: soo...can I take you out?
Green Lantern: trash talk again and I will throw you out for sure *walking away*
Green Lantern stopping mid way and glances at flash : and it's a yes, you can take me out
Rest JL looking at superbat and then green lantern with flash
Wonder woman: at this point I'm just dressing up as wonder woman
Arthur: I was thinking of dressing up as a clown, but since we already have four. I might just dress up as chucky 🔪
There are two types of couples
Flash: hey everyone! Me and Hal are officially dating
Wonder woman: congratulations!!
Clark: I knew it! See I wasn't lying when I told you guys that I saw them holding hands.
Diana: that's cute
Arthur: I also saw Barry trying to kiss Hal with hot Cheetos crumbs
Diana: ok now that's not cute
Bruce: me and Clark are going to get married tomorrow. You all are invited.
Diana: wow..straight up marriage? Still congratulations!!
Hal Jordan: wait, you guys were even dating?
Diana: what makes you question that?
Hal: I saw him punching supes with a Kryptonite ring
Arthur: even I saw them.
Diana: you also saw him punching?
Arthur: Yeah, I saw them punching each other with...their lips
Hal: ew..
the only way to escape batman is to confuse the hell out of him
(i couldn't stop thinking about this bit from psych - under the cut!)

story reviews (1-5 of 10) under the cut - spoiler free!
Phil Jimenez's forward is really sweet ode to being gay having a good time - a good read, don't skip over it!
Love's Lightning Heart (Earth-36) On a speedster and his lantern... basically a Halbarry AU written by Grant Morrison; art by Hayden Sherman; colors by Marissa Louise; and lettering by Aditya Bidikar - very cute! a little adventure story through time and space about saving your boyfriend :) - about the trials (non-graphic) you'd go through to save your loved one - love love love the lineart - colors really added to the storytelling's tone - intriguing story with happy ending - however I wish they'd actually explain some of the start because I was confused as to the exigence of the story P.S. for anyone unfamiliar, Halbarry refers to a romantic relationship between Hal Jordan GL and Barry Allen Flash - I'm p sure it originated from some of the mid 2010s animated movies but honestly idk
And Baby Makes Three Crush crash lands into Harley and Ivy's honeymoon! written by Leah Williams; art by Paulina Ganucheau; and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic - your obligatory Harlivy story! as per usual they're adorable - I didn't know I needed my chill moms with a reluctant teen but here we are - they really uplift Crush's spirit and make her happy :#D - look out for the "uwu" emoticon it's EVERYWHERE - art is SO CUTE and the colors really add to the fun!
Hey, Stranger Connor Hawke and Tim Drake catch up... and work some things out written by Nadia Shammas; art by Bruka Jones; colors by Tamra Bonvillain; and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic - LOVE seeing the ace rep post coming out! glad they didn't let him fall by the wayside - to keep this spoiler free I'll just say they have a well-written conversation about being there for each other when you come out - high recommend honestly - plus the art and colors really match the down to earth tone (the lineart is so cleannn) - Damian is also here! he gets mentioned a bit and pops in at the end
Subspace Transmission Fast and slow work together so Julien can figure out what he wants >>no, this isn't about subspace in the dom/sub kink sense<;< art and writing by A. L. Kaplan and lettering by Aditya Bidikar - some background: Jess Chambers is Flash on Earth 11 and nonbinary; Julien "Jules" Jourdain is new hero who can use the Slow Force to drain people's abilities who's also a trans man - Julien is real freaked out that his power can hurt people so Jess tries to teach him to relax and use his powers well - the art's delicious and I like the coloring - but I don't really love how Jess and Jules were drawn (imo) to look more feminine - no real mention of their identities here but Jess oozes nonbinary and there are some mentions of general transness - high recommend again, I just really like the vibes of this story
Anniversary Midnighter and Apollo talk about the queerphobia recently and what they're going to do about it written by Josh Trujillo; art by Don Aguillo; and lettering by Lucas Gattoni - to be frank, this was my least favorite story and I love Midnighter and Apollo - the message, to me, is muddled by the poor writing - instead of letting him be more nuanced, they basically give Midnighter some angry tweets to say (I miss Steve Orlando) - and make Apollo be the "but violence isn't the answer!" guy - this couple is a part of queer comic history (confirmed couple in the 90s, kissed in 1999, married in 2002, adopted and raised a little girl not long after) and the way they've been pigeonholed into "young couple who're on-again-off-again and don't agree on how to be gay" is really not giving them justice - also the tone doesn't completely match since the most recent queerphobia is pretty heavily transphobic and less so homophobic
