Hey, hey, I have a question, DC lore knowers
Do you have any canon material/headcanons about color associations in Martian culture? If not, would you like to treat this post as a long discussion to figure it out?
I got a sudden urge to know it and I don't feel like I know enough about the Martian culture in general to make it up. Plus, I have only my European perspective to aid me and I know it varies between cultures on Earth alone so it probably be better if more people worked on it.
But, you know. I think this topic has potential to be fascinating.
Alright, tried to think off something, here are my ideas. Please share your thoughts on it, yell if 'm spewing utter bullshiit
rusty red is associated with death, because it's the color of the inhabitable surface. Same thing with yellowish-browns and more pinkish hues of red, because these are colors of Martian sky. Btw, sunrises and sunsets on Mars are blue, aparently
saturated red is the color of elegance and 'looks high-tech' because of Red Martians and bioships
saturated yellow is color of sacred stuff and neutrality, because of apolitical Yellow Martian priests and priestesses
Dark, cool colors are considered safe, calming
Warm, light colors are the sign of danger
Green is considered "normal"/bland
There is something actually artsy and lowkey magical about blueish-purples (see the sacred river and the crystal cave, I don't remember its name)
There are probably very few positive associations with white, probably. Sun on Mars appears just white, and its obviously visible only from the inhabitable surface. Idk, maybe I'm pushing this angle too hard
That's all I've got for a moment, please help me. I'm basing most of it on really life Mars or Young Justice Cartoon version (I know it from wiki and random clips on YouTube, I haven't seen this season where it's discussed more in depht yet)

random dc headcanons go!
most of them are batfam sorry lol
every time beast boy changes form he has to active stay alert as not to completely adopt its nature and stay focused on the fight not the rapid change of chemicals flowing through him
pink kryptonite makes jon aroace
martha wayne was native french and did the one parent one language thing so when bruce thinks about his mom a hint of french slips into his voice
following the last one, bruce learned two different types of english (american and british) so his natural speaking voice is a bit of an abomination (his fathers new jersey accent and alfred’s british + the french it’s a nightmare)
and frequently switches between american and british spelling bc alfred helped with his homework after thomas and martha died
billy still has some enhanced elements to him when he’s not shazam ie; he’s a lil too strong, is randomly a lil bit more insightful than usual etc., not enough for anyone he knows or even himself to notice but it catches  adult strangers of guard when a random 12 yo gives really relationship advice that they just have to take bc they know he’s right
before bruce was born martha and thomas had 3 cats they named snap crackle and pop (they were orange (ginger snap) black (with a distinct white pattern that looked like lightning) and white (pop corn))
the cats died when bruce was in highschool (they were close in age and went one right after the other) and he took it just as hard as his parents death bc he lost one of the last things he had left of them
when bruce learned how much jason loved to read he took him to a) the five story barns & noble and b) the book store in oregon that is legitimately a block and just let him lose resulting in the manners library
kara doesn’t like the chunks of garlic in food so she makes her own sauce and uses garlic powder
conner may have clark’s hair and eye brows but is smooth literally everywhere else, not even peach fuzz on his face, no leg or arm hair, everyone he meets in civilian form thinks he gets waxed
barry can find his way anywhere if you give him street names (he’s on callahan going towards cherry) but cannot tell the difference between his left and rights (he turned right! *heavy sigh* your other right,man)
martian man hunter can’t read bruce’s mind, not bc of some moral standpoint he just… can’t. it stresses him out
knowing this bruce will give him a smile when he know j’onn is trying to get in his head it always chills his bones
after they got married selina “found” a few pictures of bruce with the cats ( baby to teen) and cried for a good 2 hrs about it and when bruce say her crying and asked her what was wrong she just said he looked so sweet in every picture
tim and bruce did (and still do just not as often) escape rooms every weekend when bruce made tim robin he said it was to sharpen his skills but really he just liked seeing how excited tim got when he solved one of the puzzles
tim’s comfort games are ace attorney and professor layton (bruce got him the first games of both and a ds one christmas and he instantly fell in love with them) he’s also played dangonrompa (which bruce got him a ps vita for)
after he found out tim had a ds jason gets him a stupidly easy and shallow shovel ware game as a gag gift for his stocking
oliver and bruce were super close before oliver’s cruise ship crashed and they both still have eachother as their emergency contacts
So they’ve fused before,,,,mind blown
Mistaken identities

Danny can’t believe his luck. He’s been a half ghost for a few years now and he’s still getting stuck in walls. What’s worse is that he’s not even Amity park so if someone sees him they won’t just shrug it off as Fenton weirdness. He was checking out colleges in Star City when he decided to take a short cut and faze through a wall. Maybe this is due to him not sleeping for the last two days. Maybe this is Clockwork fucking with him. Danny doesn’t know how but he’s gotta blame someone. He was silently cursing out all known entities and gods when he heard someone walking by. “Uhhhh… hi?”
“Hello there.”
J’onn was taking a walk when he notice a young man stuck in a wall. He looked like how the young martians with little control of their powers would get stuck.
Is this another martian from mars?

Danny teaches an Astronomy & Alien Culture class in Gotham University. He knows far more about said cultures than the average professor should know. Almost as if he has first hand experiences on the planets he talks about.

Enjoy my 2 A.M bullshit, a woman cant always sleep
I know they dont make sense but they had to be gone from my mind
How my first interaction would go with meeting: The Justice League (in my opinion)
Clark: he'd be overly polite and cautious around me bc I am a literal short king with no superpowers or training and tbh I think he'd just find me weird (my heart rate is usually really fast bc of anxiety, do you think he'd comment on that????)
Diana: she'd greet me normally and I'd get all starry eyed bc holy shit badass woman being friendly to me, and she'd try to teach me different fighting/warrior techniques that I'd ultimately fuck up
Bruce: he'd either get super annoyed at how many questions I ask about what he's doing, or he'd be super into explaining everything. We'd probably bond over a small non-chalant crime/mystery, and hopefully he'd adopt me and take me home to Gotham (let's be real I would NOT survive in Gotham)
Barry: we'd have so much fun talking about forensic work and stuffing our faces. He'd tell me his funniest story of bruce while I show him that one funny norwegian commercial about cod and it'd be great
Hal: id talk to him about planes but I'd probably talk to much and give him a headache, he wouldn't dislike me but he'd think I was "a bit much to handle"
J'onn: I don't know what we'd talk about??? He'd probably just say hello and keep working or whatever
Victor: id just stare at the metal and wires and get lost in my head and he'd think my staring is weird so he'd slowly back away and avoid me
Ollie: I love archery but he'd probably take it to his ego too much and I'd get bored and steal his bow
Dinah: we both like singing but there's no way I'd sing in front of her, she's very cool tho and she'd probably be very polite
Arthur: he's like a very cool kinda egotistical uncle and I think I would get along with him but we'd have clashing moments. He'd probably get offended when I say I don't like swimming
I think Wally and J'onn should bond over having unpalatable diets
Another drawing with a limited palette color probably my favorite of this challenge
Tim realizing the best ways to hide your secret identity is to either be in love with them or to hate them, and since he already has a crush on an actual person he decides to go the hating Robin route
He can’t go about like Bruce does, him and Batman having a weird exes that weren’t ever dating thing, and he can’t do Clark’s I-disagree-with-Superman’s-methods thing because he has to be original and he refuses to go the easy route of having an actual excuse to avoid his secret identity
What Tim decides on is this:
They have beef. The beef will not be explained but there will be twitter wars. When asked they will only respond with “they know what they did”. They are fighting in a Denny’s parking lot. Bets are placed. There is video evidence. Surprisingly Tim wins. This is not explained. It becomes a running meme in Gotham.
Young Justice finds out- they don’t know Robin’s identity- they make fun of him. He kicks their asses in training. They are left questioning if Tim Drake could kick their asses. They belive Tim Drake is an upcoming Rouge. They do not know why Robin has been laughing his head off for the last ten minutes. Then they see a video of Tim face planting while skateboarding. They are no longer concerned. Robin is still laughing. They realize that Robin just really hates Tim and the hatred seems requited. They make their own memes.
Jason comes back to life. He sees the memes. He is confused. If Bruce is Batman, and Tim Drake, Bruce’s son (??? He has parents?), is not Robin, then who is? And does this mean that Bruce did not replace him?
Bruce has no clue this is happening.
Tim is having the time of his life.
J’onn is questioning how he got blackmailed by a 15 year old. (He thinks it’s hilarious)
They don't outright ask Danny if his a Martian. So, they see this very likely Martian kid ask thousands of questions about how Mars use to be to J'onn and assume he's like Clark. A Martian raised on earth, one that's eager to learn about his lost culture. And so the misunderstanding extends.
They don't think he's Kryptonian, or a Meta.
When Phantom makes an appearance everyone comes to the same conclusion.
He can fly, turn intangible and invisible, he knows things he shouldn't be able to know. All that and plus the frequent stargazing?
Everyone assumes Phantom is a Martian.
Gotham News @ 9
Can you IMAGINE the Gotham newscasters? No, not CNN, NBC, or CBS style with money and sets.
They're local news in Gotham City.
They have their chairs duct taped under their desks and old books making sure their desk doesn't wobble when they stand up to do weather.
Their graphics are mediocre at best; they're the mid-nineties ones that made you cringe, even at the time. They have a special sound effect and graphic for Mr. Freeze, one for Poison Ivey, and another for the Joker and Harley Quinn.
There are two main newscasters.
One grew up in the narrows. She's saw a newslady in the window of a department store when she was eight and immediately connected with the strength the well-dressed woman radiated through the screen. That was when people called her James. Now, the name that everyone calls her by and shows up on Gotham's public network is Julianne McLeod.
The other, Kendall Johnson, recently saw his already ramshackle apartment building collapse when they were on air. His mom didn't make it. He stayed on because there were other casualties and their families deserved to know. The next day, he came back because, "The Batman isn't the only one who can investigate Ggats Metalworks, you know."
The weatherman, Carl Lewis, is almost seventy and living on mostly social security. He got a degree in meteorology at Gotham University back before he lost one of his legs fighting for a war he didn't want any part of.
Their cameraman goes by John Jones, he's a quiet guy who mostly nods and smiles. They don't know much about the guys' past, they don't ask.
You'd never suspect any of it if you didn't know them. On air, off, and during collaborations with their sister network in BlĂĽdhaven, they genuinely laugh at each other's jokes, missteps, and the general insanity of their hometown.
Although they're loved by thousands, the only things keeping them afloat are a meager cut of taxes, kind remarks on the street, and economizing wherever they can.
They were there before The Batman, back when Gotham Police Commissioners were ousted every month or so for corruption charges. Their scathing remarks towards City leaders that looked the other way when gangs ran rampant scared off any possible sponsors. It was a miracle Julianne's sarcasm alone hadn't gotten them sued yet.
During the day, when they're not briefing Gotham citizens about the crimes in their area, they play reruns of Full House and Friends.
This was back before Bruce stayed home with Dick, who had sprained his ankle trying to cartwheel away from one of Nygma's traps.
He figured he'd let his ward, who was grouchy from missing patrol, flip channels until he fell asleep. Except Bruce hadn't remembered his need to sleep, so he ended up groggily waking to Dick shaking his arm and starting intently at the screen.
"B, look, they're talking about us!" Although he had only the light from the TV to see, Dicks smile was plain as day.
Pivoting his head, he saw a man and woman reporting on their latest attempt to stop The Riddler from destroying Gotham's nuclear plant. It wasn't the story that caught his attention, though.
"Chum," he turned face him, "where'd you find this?" He'd been in Gotham for the past four years now and in all that time he never once remembered seeing a local news channel.
"What, the channel?"
He nodded.
"Oh," the boy looked down and fumbled with the remote that was clearly too big for his ten-year-old hands, and pulled up the TV menu, "it's Gotham channel eleven! They're on, it says here, at nine every morning, evening, and day of the week."
Bruce was taken aback, but the young acrobat to his right plucked the words right from him.
"Wow, B can you imagine working every day, twice a day?"
Well, not his exact words.
"Don't give me that look," he chided, "I know you do it, but most normal people don't." He paused for a moment, "When do they get the time to do laundry? Or feed their pets? If they have pets... You know, speaking of pets, do you think we could get an-"
"You know the answer, Dick, Alfred won't take care of an elephant while you're at school."
"Quite so, Master Bruce." As if on cue, Alfred breezed through the doorway.
"But Alfie-"
"Nothing more, Master Dick, I do believe it's a school night and Master Bruce had kept you up long enough."
Had he? Looking at the clock, it was half an hour past Dick's bedtime. Damnit, Bruce.
"That's right, Dickster," he stood up, his back bones cracking and old injuries protesting, picked his surrogate son up, and held him as one would a baby, careful to avoid the boy's sprain.
He harrumphed and crossed his arms, getting ready to make a point, "Only if you go to sleep now, too." He was staring down Bruce with the same intensity as he did towards Nygma just last night. He wasn't giving this up easy.
Well that surely wasn't going to happen, he had to figure out which shell company was connected to Simon Stagg, how to prove it, then hack into and locate the plans for the business's headquarters. Not to mention that tomorrow he needed to talk to Clark about Lexcorp's latest moves into Star City and how to best anonymously fund a public broadcasting station he didn't realize existed until just now.
Turning around, he saw Alfred, one eyebrow raised, arms crossed, and one hand holding a polished silver tray. There was no winning, this was the same man who had literally tried to give him sleep drugs in his coffee earlier that day.
"Alright, kiddo, just this once." After all, it'd the first time in the weeks he'd go to sleep at night and without being drugged by Alfred, a rogue, or after being knocked out.
Dick smiled and raised his arms in victory, "Onwards!" he pointed towards the stairs.
Although all of his actions were oriented towards getting him and his ward to sleep, he couldn't stop thinking about the dedicated news service operating under his nose for the past four years.
He'd have to push back that WayneTech meeting and his investigation into possible aliens in Gotham (which was a far fetched idea in the first place) in order to talk to Clark and get Lucius on the phone. After all, he had no clue what local news stations needed.
"You should talk to Ms. Lane, too," came a tuft of black curls masquerading as a head barely sticking out underneath several quilts.
Had he been thinking aloud again? Shit, he really did need to go to sleep.
"Maybe I will, Chum," he assured the young acrobat as he flicked off the lights and headed down the hall to his Egyptian cotton sheets and silk pillowcases.
time to cry
