With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Those aren't hats, they're fancy dress. Which isn't bad, it's just less simplistic.

 

Wow, Paul's doing good and Vaermina disapproves, it must be a day that ends in Y.

 

Honestly you might be right that it's not what Kara needs, but I still think it might help, and at least shouldn't make it particularly worse.

And personally, my response would be "suppression is a bad coping mechanism... if you do it poorly." Properly and permanently suppressing things works quite well, though it might make some people see you as a bit cold.

Of course, that's quite hard to do sometimes, especially with something as significant as losing your entire planet. Really makes me annoyed that none of these advanced civilizations have any proper sophotech to use. Where are the Thought-Lathes, Addiction-B-Gone pills, and Trauma-Suppressors? Seriously, a little bit of memory suppression would do wonders here; not like she has to forget Krypton, just make it a little less prominent.

Sitting in a room talking to people is only the best way to handle psychological problems if you have no idea how to treat the source of the problem. Namely, the brain. Resorting to it when you have such advanced technology and knowledge at your disposal is like having all of medical science at your fingertips and deciding to try homeopathy.

 

Yeah, she doesn't have a criminal past, I doubt the SI is even attracted to her.

 

She's a Kryptonian, and not just a regular Kryptonian, but a Kryptonian under a yellow sun.

Meaning she has a photographic memory as a standard feature and anything other then her own natural healing or magic is likely to be undone via her own biology acting against it.

 

Neither Melinoë nor Donna have a criminal past, and the SI hit on both of them.

 

Earth 16 kryptonians are different though (weaker at the very least).

 

Donna sort of does - her birth is due to a titan and therefore potentially “illegal” per the rules of Mount Olympus.

 

Melinoë basically tortured a guy in front of him(in Poseidonis where stuff like that is a crime) and it was a Prince Pavlos of Themyscira who hit on Donna and he had an entire different set of memories .

I was mostly joking, but an more fitting example of a non non-criminal he hit on would be M’gann in Bialya after he lost his memories before he build that giant naked statue of himself.

 

Yeah, but she's the goddess of nightmares, and he insulted her. Pretty sure it's legal for her to respond however she wants. And if not, will retroactively be legal the moment Orin has his first nightmare.

 

He didn't insult her, he just told them he was busy and that he is going to talk about it with Sephtian. She basically tortured him for not immidatly doing what they want. Also she is a greek nymph, religious Atlanteans follow the roman gods. Allowing some nymph from a foreign pantheon to torture one of his people would basically goes against Orin's obligation as king and as superhero. I just assume that Onesimus told nobody about it out of fear of Melinoë.

 

Given that she's a Greek Goddess, she let him off about as easy as an Olympian has EVER let someone off.

 

She's not middle management of arbys. She's not a member of parliament, or a diplomat. She's a Goddess, Princess of Hades, and he treated her dismissively. That is insulting.

Not to mention suicidally stupid, as he found out.

 

It wasn't stupid because he had no idea who he was dealing with, he didn't even believe that gods have blood, he most certainly didn't expect one to be standing next to him. And he didn't treat them that rude for a group of people basically expecting that he drops his duties and immediately does what they want .

Yeah but they usually do that to greek people, its like when Hades was pissed that the angels send stole the soul of the SI from him, I assume that if the SI hadn't pissed of the Greek God of justice the whole thing with the angels would also have been handled better.

 

If you ask me, anyone is better than Jade.
I mean for real. You have all these amazing potential love interests and SI chooses Jade..
Granted, he obviously feels attracted to other people, and has even had sex and flirted with some of them. But when it comes to real love or romance, Jade seems like the weakest option. But what do I know?
We all know OL has superior tastes than the rest of us puny mortals.

 

Well, yeah. Given that in the Greek myths, just like every other set of mythology, their country/nation/whatever WAS the center of the world.

 

Wat.

 

The giant spider is the true waifu.

 

He gave that one a thorough fisting before Jade ever came along.

 

Well he certainly knows which button to push.

Amusing how it went from just her, to her and Katar, but of course she realizes that OL doesn't need to sleep and they'll need to watch him in shifts.

 

Excellent manipulation tactics Paul, ten out of ten.

 

Ah, he's a people person. He really is.

 

HA! Oh yeah, there we go.

 

Seems like a suitable reaction on the part of Hawkwoman here.

Leaving Paul unsupervised is a bad idea.

 

He can see emotions and can scan what their brains are doing at that exact moment. Of course he knows what buttons to push.

 

Kara had no idea what she was doing to herself? Should Paul inform Batman at least of the effects of all Kryptonite variants so this doesn't happen again? I am especially curious about how he would take the effect of Black Kryptonite, or how Paul could explain him knowing its effects.

 

I have a feeling Paul is going to be arrested or detained for that one time he made Nth metal while high on Ophidian.

 

I feel like Oh El has been switched over by certain Startrek DataSI. This is good.

Of course that would mean Oh El would be actually competent with woman and would have got Catwoman and Batman together but eh...

 

Yeah, not such a smart idea now, was it, Kara?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Seriously, OL? Matchmaking? Or is this part of your therapy plan?

Unnecessary plural here.

...Okay, that's fair. These things tend to happen in his wake.

"...Oops?"

I love how that's a viable threat these days.

Oh, this has potential to be such a trainwreck. What's the over/under on Thanagar getting some regime change by the time OL leaves?
