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

Yeah so I never really looked up what Georgia looked like. I vaguely recall it being mentioned she looked like a female version of her dad and... after googling it that seems not too far from the truth.

Spoiler

But when I googled her I saw this version of her come up first and repeatedly.... so yeah seems safe to say she made some drastic changes at some point

Spoiler

 

I think the second pictures are of her when she and her family got Captain Marvel/Shazam like powers.

She has the lightning bolt symbol on her clothes.

When someone transforms their looks change, often times to an idealised form.

Billy's form changes to be like his idealised version of his father and Theo Adams form changed into that of a bodybuilder when he stole Teths powers, symbolising his desire to be seen as powerful.

 

Jovium, the one Paul reacted to so thoroughly they thought he’d had sex with the amazon blacksmith

 

We can always ask Mr Zoat because regardless of what he wrote in the past, his current intentions in regards to the limitations and advantages of Jovium are what truly matter and we don't even know if this weapon uses Jovium (I don't think it does).

Also like I said, for a weapon system a few magic runes being added/imprinted to the physical frames/parts are probably significantly more effective than using meta materials for their designs, with the only drawback being that the weapon won't work outside earth's arcane field.

 

Does dream owe OL a solid in this, or is that some other fic? Because finding a hopeful nerd who just read The Silmarillion and grabbing whoever's playing Celebrimbor might do the trick for getting a blue ring

 

I think you're talking about 'We Are Legion' by RagnarokAscendant.

The MC in that story rescues Dream from his imprisonment.

I don't think that any of the versions of Paul have so far met Dream.

I could see Dream being capable of making a Blue Ring though.

As for where he could find some hope, well there was that Firmament of Hopes and Dreams from the Dreaming comic.

 

Paul has only ever interacted with Desire of the Endless, when he and the Ophidian were fused together and the Green Lanterns denied their desire despite wanting to help them, and was on the moon in the toilet stall he created for Tuppence cradling the star sapphire.

And most of the interaction involved Desire observing Paul until the team showed up to save him, commenting on his mental state, and briefly brought up as blur when Paul tried to remember his time fused with the Ophidian.

Out of all the Endless Paul should try contacting is Destruction who left his realm in order to discover himself as a being and wanting create things rather than destroy, as mostly of humanity and possible other species have gotten very well at destruction themselves.

 

He also, well, sampled something Morpheus left behind, a bit of himself I think, in his prison, that time he had Hinon come with him to Earth.

 

He did. Paul told Zatanna after their trip to Earth -14.

Well 20% told, 80% she figured it out and asked.

And now their relationship as friends is much better. With Overgirl (age 39) now on the team, Paul could probably just tell everyone his "big" secrete.

 

And Jade.

 

Probably, but it still may end at least a bit badly.

Nothing too serious, but finding out that he's been lying about his age all this time may make some people upset.

Overgirl at least didn't lie about how old she was.

Any of you think that Giovanni is going to be all that happy to find out his little girl was trying to initiate a romantic, and sexual during the dragon thing, relationship with someone twice her age and said guy didn't tell her how old he was?

I'm guessing no.

 

Ya, but this is a comic universe. I think that he would be more reasonable. Heck, he knows Paul's character and knows that he rebuffed every one of her advances.........

Or we get a comedy bit of Giovanni chasing Paul with a Magical Orange Laser Rifle that he created but never sold to the public. That would please Eris greatly.

 

There is still the whole giving massages to girls in their mid-teens while pretending to be a teenager, I imagine other people would react more like Eros Zatanna.

 

I'm getting an image of Giovanni just looking at Paul and Paul not trying to see Giovannis emotions because he doesn't want to see all the red there.

One viewer once posted an omake in which Zatanna tells her dad, who's still being possessed by Nabu, that she's going to date Constantine.

Giovanni takes control and goes on to kill John.

 

It is, she was the Captain Marvel Jr of her family, she was defeated by Freddy tricking her into saying her own name.

I felt sympathy for her, really.

All she wanted to do with this stolen magical power given to her by her father? Enjoy being pretty for once.

So if she had her druthers, her villainous career apparently would have consisted of getting guys to buy her drinks at bars and what not. Oh, the humanity!

 

I. Need. To. Read. That. Omake. I laughed way too hard.

I only started reading just before the transition to QQ, so I never got to see many of those.

If anyone can find a link, I would be very grateful.

 

The first post in the thread has an omake index, but here you go.

 

Change "is" to "in".

 

Should probably drop the 'been'. Or maybe make it something like 'been experienced with'.

 

Think maybe it should be 'of human'

Zagreus is a God of the Hunt?

There isn't exactly a whole lot of info about him, aside from that he may also be Dyonisis.

 

This whole update is adorable.

Edit: Well, except for the rape part.

 

Wait, Persephone is worried her daughter will be kidnapped? Kind of ironic.

 

Yes! Melinoë is back on!

 

Potential friendship with Kori there?

Ravens not here yet, but there is another grey skinned, moody, magic girl around.

 

This is only the second time I've ever seen Zagreus mentioned anywhere. The other one is in the Hades game.

I like how you portray the Tamaranians consistently as actually alien instead of just Humans with different skin colour.

 

That is a completely and utterly fair fear.

After all, nobody should want Paul as a Son in law.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

I totally read all his lines in the voice of the version from that game.

 

Ah, the Amazons getting a little clingy? The drawback of bringing a gorgeous orange space babe to a country of mostly-lesbians.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

I mean, the rest of humanity isn't generally unattractive, but having Kori around makes it just a bit harder...

And there aren't exactly a lot of visitors, after all. So female guests get a lot of attention in particular. Yay.

For reference, Okaaran females tend to be over six feet tall, and built like male bodybuilders. Imagine the classic 'buff female orc' meme. By those standards, Tamaraneans like Kori would look like skinny children.

Ooof. yeah, I think most of us forgot that little detail of her history...

There's no little twitch in here eyebrow, is there? No trace of repressed anger? Because that sort of thing tends to come out at just the wrong moment, according to Narrative Causality...

Well... There is Robin. I know, he's all of fifteen, but she's only about seventeen. Not that squicky...

Good thing they're in a tunnel, that kind of thing might have ended up with him face-first in a building anywhere else.

Uh... Do Tamaraneans have the 'Half Plus Seven' rule back home?

Dang, he must be looking good by now. Mid forties?

And if her empathic sight is even half as good as his, she'd pick up on the Love. Even without it, you'd be hard pressed not to notice how much he loved Rose...

Because it's just... No. Just no. I don't think anyone ever considered that idea. Except maybe some particularly pervy folks.

Zagreus, greek god of the Hunt. Quite a confused and varied background there.

The Dreams of the Star Mother, eh? He's still plugging away at that one, I see.

And looking at your outfit, you've been occupied with other matters.

Eh, Morpheus was called the Oneiromancer. But given the ever-shifting nature of myth, who knows how it mutated?

Her business is her business. I doubt she'd enjoy prying.

He probably finds them quite enjoyable indeed.

Really? I would have expected Hades to be the overprotective one.

The lady is hardly unprotected. Even if she didn't protect herself, the spirits and shades dwelling in Erebos would overhear any shenanigans.

...How ironic, indeed.

Hells, he may even have some interesting input. After all, they weren't called 'Star Hunters' for nothing.

An interesting conversation. And hopefully tomorrow, we get to see that little interpretation session. Persephone's concerns are amusing. But given her love life's course, she probably would be expecting something of an 'elopement'...

...human cultural norms than you currently have?"
