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

Pro tip: The quote mechanism on XenForo (so both SV and QQ) works across threads. Highlight the area needing correction and click the "+ Quote" link that pops up. This will queue the quote up for posting, and an "Insert Quotes..." button appears below the quick reply box. Next time you're going to reply to the thread anyway (or if you need to unload the stored quotes so you can post in a different thread) you can come to this thread and push that button. The quotes that it creates include links back to the posts they're from, so Zoat can click on the up-arrow icon in the quote box to jump to the post that needs fixed.

If you've got a lot of them, some of us proofreaders have developed a habit of putting historical corrections in a suitably-labeled spoiler.

 

I was thinking the fact that I count at least 3 time machines that don't actually go with the time traveller - one of which only ever time travels via almost impossible set of coinciding occurrences or by leveraging future knowledge to create such a coincidence - invalidated it.

There's a plausible chance he already has. Consider that there have only been around 105 billion humans EVER. Now consider that the SIlver City is based on the Abrahamic religions, none of which is more than 4000 years old, barely a blip on the 100,000 year history of the human race, and all of which hold that only their people are allowed into heaven. Plus most Christian teachers will tell you that not everyone who goes to church every week will make the cut, so the number is even lower.

So realistically the number of people in the Silver City isn't going to be all that high. And Paul handed over billions of souls who died on Mother of Mercy.

Dove was always at peace. It was kinda his whole schtick. Not too many people would live up to that standard.

 

I mean, living up to that standard kinda isn't the point here. Dying up to that standard? That's what counts.

 

And Hades went orange for a sec when he considered all those unclaimed alien souls...

 

Random question: anyone know what happened to Graak, Lantern Xal’s lawyer? Last I heard he was dropped off with Xal on the ice fortress and then never mentioned again.

 

Last time we saw him, he was in Icon's civilian identity's office, and he was listed as Xor's former lawyer at that point.

 

Hades will probably be kind of irritated as well, think of all the extra work that's being dumped on him...involving souls that have zero clue about how they're going to be handled post death.

 

Oh no. Hades loves the work, regarding it as a validation of his existence.

Link is broken

 

Dove's successor was also shown to cut through Black Lanterns with her light which definitely implies that Dove's patronage by a Lord of Order ties Dove to the White Light of Life.

Creating a superpowered zombie when that superpower provides a direct pipeline to the zombie disintegrating force that banished Nekron out of the universe in the first place is kind of a losing proposition.

 

Replaced. Though amusingly I've learned that that didn't actually kill him.

 

Second link is broken, sadly. Kind of wish I'd begun paying attention to these before this point in the story; I actually began at the beginning and I'm doing a full read-through.

Also thanks for the tip about the quotes.

 

Spoiler: Corrections: Broken Links

Hokai, I'm gonna go take a nap and stop reading for a bit. Cheers!~

 

Thank you, updated.

 

I feel like something horrible, hilarious, and/or awkward is about to happen.

 

The gap is a little awkwardly worded. Usual spelling is 'takeover' or perhaps 'conquest' would suffice?

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

Well, at least the fellow is honorable. Can you trust his lowest subordinates to be the same, though?

"What'd you do this time, kid?"

is trying to retake Karna and I'm trying to bring about a negotiated settlement."

You know, Karna. Come for the catgirls, stay for the brutal world-spanning war."

'Outta' and a Missing Quotation mark.

Missing Quotation mark. Again.

It would end up in some atrocities, I suspect.

Huh, I jumped the gun on my previous comments on Vega's off-limit status, didn't I?

I detect some unspoken teasing here. Something about the spider queen's spiracles...

On pain of death, after all.

The joy of diplomancy speccing.

Hm. I wonder if any of the people who read my book will make decent candidates?

A quick look around didn't show anyone with the desire-channelling instinct required.

Heh. Juggling allegiances. always fun.

Famous last words!

Well, this should be entertaining. Wonder if the Queen has had any work done...

 

"I didn't have to brainwash anyone this time."

Of course, that almost always makes me think of the reason why Paul failed to convince Lex Luthor to leave the Light. Which is a shame. I liked their interactions and wish it hadn't suddenly dead ended like that.

And for the forgetful among you . . . Lex knew about Paul's ability to rewrite the desires of others and, in his paranoia, assumed that was the reason he was considering going straight.

 

Was that a thing that early on? He learned how to brand after merging with the Ophidian, but I thought that his development of subtle manipulation was much more gradual.

 

No, Paul, one task after the other! Shouldn't a power ring fix ADHD?

What I would really like to see, purely for self-indulgence mind you, would be an earth politician and/or JL members accompanying Paul to the wider galaxy one day.

"We are from earth"

"Never heard of i...wait. Isn't that the Place where the Illustres of the Orange Lantern Corps is from? DO YOU KNOW HIM? CAN I GET AN AUTOGRAPH?!?!"

 

Spider Queen: "Perhaps his contact information? Reestablishing a line of dialogue has been difficult, and I'd like to renew intercourse with him."

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

He's gonna need some additional staff though. Maybe get a computer system to keep track.

 

I think I remember a thing ago where Zoat said Paul would meet with the Spider Queen only to find she changed her appearance and now looked like a drider, bottom half spider, waist and up female humanoid looking.

I wonder if this will be that time.

 

Paul should Really know better than to tempt fate like that.

I sense mass slaughter ahead.

 

I have no recollection of saying that.

 

He might even meet fate at some point (Destiny of the Endless or the Kindly Ones would both probably qualify).

Paragon and Renegade generally deal with the aftermath of conventional superheroes, either in Earth-16 or beyond. It’s nice to see them dealing with the repercussions of their own actions too.

On another note, can anyone explain the abundance of randomly voiceless characters in sporadic episodes of season 3? I’m not sure if it’s some budgetary issue or not, but it’s quite jarring.

 

It helps when you've actually killed Fate, a lot less intimidating that way

 

Random question Mr Zoat, but when Savitr finally makes his debut, when he makes the claim of being the God of Speed, will Renegade!KF make the counterclaim of being the New God of Speed?
