Well. At the very least, Mrs. Yat doesn’t seem to believe her son would be terrified of her - not that delusional abusers aren’t a thing, but it means less planned malice and a bit of distance for me. More importantly, Arisia is - for whatever reason - much less interested in making assumptions...
It’s nice to see that she really loves him, but this bit on Paul’s part is an important reminder for an Orange Wielder.
Not that I wouldn’t cheer if she did it, but it would definitely make her look like the villain.
No. But they could have dropped the'kidnapping' narrative and the barely concealed rage, because it's clearly not a kidnapping. He showed up, gave the 'kid' a device that lets him travel the universe and contact people across the galaxy, and offered him a job. The 'kid' in question is old enough...
Paul has had to defend his actions before - he's also been bopped with a newspaper/squirted with water by Artemis (No Evil!).
He's also been asked completely reasonable questions, like "Genocide?" or "Why did you overthrow that planet's government/religion?" and come up with perfectly...
They are talking to him - and ignoring him. He's already made it perfectly clear that Lantern Yat does not want to see his mother. They don't care.
I'm trying not to project here - I've had bad experiences with going for help, including one extremely stupid one where I went to a woman who's...
No, that was Paragon. He also ignored Paul’s warning regarding Karsta - whereas Renegade Superman met Karsta when she was finally in command of a Kryptonian resurgence, and got off with a telling-off.
Paul just informed them that Sodom Yat has the ability to go home at any time, and that he hasn't. He just informed them that he wanted to escape, that his parents murdered a shipwrecked, friendly alien in front of him - that he doesn't want to be near them, and that unlike Robin, Yat isn't even...
Yeah... and there's honestly...
How do I put this? There's a whole spectrum between 'trains like a motherfucker on the bow and arrow, and fights crime and has a life and Nothing Else,' and 'Orange Lantern, who had to rework his brain for the ring and because he internalized the Ophidian that...
Also, Zatanna's 16, Paul's 30. I'd love to see more Zatanna (and I'm always up for more Magic), but there's no way that they're dating.
Well. Not unless Paul decides to give up on rather important moral convictions, and Zatanna takes leave of her senses. After the Star Sapphire incident in...
This sums up my perspective on Highfather.
I will say that this fic has the best presentation of Darkseid, as both a threat and a character, that I've ever seen. And Highfather is... polite. Nice.
I have a new question: In the WTR multiverse, are there any versions of Darkseid that are...
I understand that - but the Old God wasn’t present, he was still bound. And Highfather drove him Back Into The Dark easily enough.
I was criticizing Highfather - because again, unlike Darkseid (who he’s supposedly equal to), he’s taken out with regularity so protagonists can’t rely on him...
UUUUUUUUUUUUGH. On the one hand, Fate Worse Than Death averted, which is good, but it's frustrating that OL seems to be allergic to comparatively minor power-ups based on his powers- the powers that are the premises of the story. Worse still, I'm genuinely Not Confident that Highfather will keep...
Huh. If Kaahuite causes problems, I'd expect him to use some more angel feather rounds immediately after. Power of the Void Before Time removes energies, Powers of Creation to add them back.
Still, his use of Orange seems to be working. Let's see him fight what energies Sivvy can poke through...
So I watched the Sandman a while back, and I’ve been meaning to ask this question (and forgetting to) - the Endless. “Is the reason things are different that Destruction didn't fuck off? Is that why Dream hasn't been replaced by Daniel Hall, despite Daniel being born?”
Not necessarily accurate...
Lovely. It’s good to see him focusing on the why again - it’s been, what, since Teekl? - and noting that A) They need a Fate Worse than Death to keep them out, B) Apokalyptian, and C) Their danger if left around. He’s still not going Eat The Universe, but in the right circumstances…
Well. He...
