    Assuming he knows it's actually on the Earth.

    I'm now thinking of that scene in American Dad where Roger has sex with an alien and Klaus later describes it as like staring into the ass of God.

    Yeah, I mean can you imagine a super strong woman crushing a man's fingers and blaming him for her pain when she's giving birth.

    I think Kori would be willing to share.

    Kom too, at least as long as her personality is like this.

    I think she was just pleased at the party hat.

    It happened to Ben Tennyson when he was sick.

    Maybe it also happens to Tamaraneans, but during pregnancy they also change their personality.

    She hasn't been innocent in a long time.

    I'm imagining some ritual combat and heartfelt declarations of love.

    Might just be Earth that’s like this. Any sentient species can mate with any other sentient species due to the massive life embodiment.

    I know there are other types of hybrids in comics, between alien species that don't involve humanity. But I like to think that, in fictional universes, humans in general have the reproductive capabilities of Viltrumites from the Invincible comics, i.e. we can fuck and breed any other sapient species we seem to encounter. And I never have any problem with that, maybe because I have been in the internet long enough.

    Possibly limited to sapient species, rather than sentient species in general, but then again, centaurs exist on at least some of those Earths.

    I'd find it implausible that a Red Lantern could avoid making more enemies than he put down in the most peaceful of settings. In a DC universe, with crazies and monsters coming out of the woodwork?

    Just looked for a meme image relating to preventing children seeking revenge for the fate of their parents by killing them too at the same time and man did I see some depressing websites. Fiction, Google! Fiction!

    the amazing thing about being born and raised in a country founded by puritanical religious fundamentalists is that while this statement makes me uncomfortable, i have no problem expressing my wanton desire to set new hedonistic standards with Beulah Bleak. it's truly mind-bending sometimes.

    Yes, the actual explicit content is off-screen. Remember that tentacle-orgy-Grayven happened pre-QQ.

    So I take it that the doctor(or whatever she met on Tamaran) hadn't told her yet?
    Please tell me there is a link?
    I'd want to take the opportunity to make a remark that on any given day I can end up seeing over a hundred different events and things that don't make any kind of logical sense to me since the day I appeared in your crazy universe. Like your "T" Mansion never being so damaged that it loses enough mass to so much as an "I" let alone a standard skyscraper or less. And yet it always returns to a pristine "T" shape with out nary a blemish on the grassy island. Not to mention I've never once seen a repair or construction crew on this whole city save that one time I hired one to build my lair.
    Then hopefully get an explanation.

    Up to Chapter 42.

    I have to say, having had to deal with setting up accounts for my (USA-based) employer with the tax revenue offices of Canada and some of its provinces *glares at Quebec and Ontario in particular* for the past fourteen months, having to just travel to Ysmault and defeat Senior Lantern Kultonious in single combat in order to successfully submit forms sounds positively delightful.

    I had something of the reverse of this just before covid hit. A former employer of mine wanting me to go do a few months in Alaska, and then freezing up when I asked about a work visa and income tax. He of course was looking to work out of Ontario because his engineering stamp was taken away due to some rather threatening conversations he had with the local government here, which the fellow he was contracting for had to physically restrain him before it got beyond threatening.

    Of course the plans he tried to get me into before THAT involved Peru, and his idea to placate my worries of being stuck in the Andes (with him) was that he was gonna build an armory on site and stock it full of AK's of questionable providence.

    As for the tax folks themselves, dated one of the gals at the local center. Their favorite part of the day was getting a terribly written, horribly incorrect form, and saying "oops I know this person" and then handing it down the line to the next unfortunate soul so as not to have a 'conflict of interest'.

    Oh those were just the low hanging fruit, working for Mr [Redacted] was a real treat for crazy boss stories. I'm just glad I survived them.

    I have no issues with having firearms around for anti-critter use when doing field work (black bears on the job was something that just happens in these parts), but this joker had to go out and get his tacticool shotgun. A Short barrel, heat shield, Breaching muzzle thing all dolled up by RIA.

    And then he wished to mount it in the truck.

    Fine.

    I go to install the racks, but he stops me to bitch about it, and we argue. Mostly because he wanted it mounted (Loaded) in the side of the truck cab tool box....with the barrel pointing forwards....which if you follow that line, is directly at the back of the drivers head. I disagreed, loudly, and preferred to point it away from the driver, to the rear of the truck. This gets heated for a bit before his wife / fellow company employee came out to see what the noise was, and upon hearing about it called him an idiot on my behalf. Woman was a saint.

    Same Shotgun, same Wife a few weeks later. He sticks me with doing some MET station assembly (and baby sitting his damned springer spaniel, which is damned hard to do from 3 stories in the air) while they go to the creek a klick or so down the trail. Now...when he was picking out shotguns, it was suggested to him strongly to get a cross bolt safety, vs a tang safety, because, as he was about to learn, a tang safety can get knocked around when you are bush whacking. I KNOW he's had issues with a negligent discharge in the past, and considering how he ran the company, and handled his tools, I was leery of being around him when he was carrying.

    He came out of the bush, with a loaded, and thanks to a few branches, unsafe shotgun, pointed directly at his Wife. Because of course she was breaking trail and because muzzle control is for other people. Now Fortunately nothing goes off, except possibly his blood pressure once he and she both spotted the issue of him waving a loaded weapon at her.

    A while later he sells the thing (which is a story of it's own) and picks out his new field gun.

    A Mare's Leg.

    For those that don't know what that is, think of your average western lever gun, but shorten the barrel and stock way down to something you could tuck in your coat. Legally it's a bit of an oddball case, in the States it'd be classified as a Pistol, but up here it's a Long Gun Legally Speaking. Problem is the 'Legally speaking' part is that if it's Built and Sold that short it's fine, but if you cut a full sized rifle down to those same spec's it's a Prohibited Weapon, same as making a sawed off shotgun would be.

    The problem is that Conservation Officers aren't particularly well educated on this nuanced legal issue. And they can't tell the difference from a distance. They also do not give a fuck about debating said issue when they find you have the thing in the field out of season. They also don't take well to shit talk, nor threats. Only thing that saved him from court was having all his paperwork handy to back himself up and some very patient folks paying for him to be there.

    If Komand'r is preggo I wonder if Koriand'r will want her own little bundle of joy.

    Queenie is clearly into the OG Fairy Tales, the ones the Brother Grim had to edit for public consumption before they were edited AGAIN because they were still to dark for most people.

    Was he secretly trying to booby-trap his truck against theft or just being dense? He's dumb either way, but he sounds like they type to do that.

    "…contracts in place." I nod as on the other side of the screen Prime Minister Geoffrey Talbot continues reading through his summary. "We'd put it out to tender… But LexCorp doesn't have significant competition in the field, does it?"

    I nod. "He isn't stopping other market participants competing. And the patents are publically available information."

    "Oh, I'm not complaining. I used to be against 'green power'. I didn't think it was economically viable. Now that it is, my government will be making moves to switch over all of our infrastructure as quickly as possible."

    I glance down at my copy of the report.

    "I'm just astonished that the situation was allowed to get this bad. How hard is it to build a new power plant?"

    He smiles wryly.

    "About as hard as building a new airport runway. The greenies don't want anything that causes pollution and the conservatives don't want anything inefficient. It was always easier to put it off than take the hit to their popularity."

    "Was it related to..?"

    "No, nothing to do with those people as far as I can tell. Just normal political cowardice and malfeasance. Until we started getting brown outs no one was going to do anything."

    "People would rather vote for a sweet shop owner than a doctor."

    "All too true." He shakes his head. "I can still barely credit the fact that Boris wasn't involved."

    "Would you invite him into a secret conspiracy?" He huffs and shakes his head. "What's he doing with himself now?"

    "He got elected head of the Conservative and Unionist Party. Mostly by virtue of being the only Conservative left standing that anyone had heard of."

    "He didn't jump ship? I'd have thought that the Reform Party would be right up his street."

    "He said he thought about it, but decided that someone needed to work as the official Opposition."

    "Was that before or after someone pointed out that he'd have to quit being mayor to become an MP?"

    "Oh, he's not in Parliament. Technically speaking, the Conservative and Unionist Party is a new political party, and their rules don't demand that the party leader be a sitting MP."

    "I suppose that -given how many MPs they're likely to have to the foreseeable future- that makes sense."

    "Makes debating with the man a bit awkward. And it means that the senior opposition MP in Parliament is my constituency MP. I can debate with him by banging on the wall."

    I smile at him.

    "Sounds like a stitch-up to me-. Oh, that reminds me: Myand'r told me that Weaponer Lysis wants to give you a check up. Will there be a problem with her visiting?"

    He gives me a mild frown.

    "Wouldn't it be easier for me to go to her?"

    "She wants to see you in your natural environment."

    He chuckles darkly.

    "I don't consider Number Ten to be my natural environment."

    "You might want to start, because you could be there a while."

    We expected for the left-leaning part of his coalition to drift away after the first General Election. But with the far left part going full socialist and joining the Socialist Labour Party, a surprisingly large portion of everyone else appears to have decided to remain with Reform for the time being because there isn't anywhere obvious for them to go to. So while Geoff is staying away from strongly partisan issues, he's using the surprising unity that his party still commands to deal with issues which -while divisive- don't divide along party lines.

    I think he's trying to leave the country a better place for his having occupied the office by the time he renders himself unelectable. I also think he's underestimated the appeal of having a conspiracy-busting retired police officer who definitely wins the 'my head of government could beat up your head of government' arguments in power.

    "Anything else we need to go over?"

    "The EU's finally getting its head out of its arse about Kahndaq. Which means that Teth Adom can nominate a UN ambassador."

    "Oh?"

    Given that Adom firmly believes that a country should focus its efforts on its internal affairs, he's been completely untroubled by the fact that other countries are hostile to his one-man conquest of his home country. Banks don't want to lend him money? Fine. Why would he want to borrow money? Imports and exports are expensive? Fine. That just encourages local farming and industry. His reaction to other countries not liking him was '"And?"'. I sometimes get the feeling that Adom would be happiest if the rest of the world just sort of disappeared.

    "France won't veto it, and the General Assembly won't try and block the appointment."

    "I'll let him know. Any chance they'll help with repatriation?"

    The government he slaughtered like the rabid dogs they used to be were heavily involved in slave trading. His government has tried sending as many people as possible back to their home countries, but there are a lot of unaccompanied or orphaned children and with Kahndaq currently uncountried various agencies who should be helping out aren't.

    "That's a bit more dubious. Given how poor most of their countries of origin are, you're probably better off getting Luthor on the job. Have him have a word with their business development people."

    A pleasant side effect of our work in Africa is that the 'supply' side of certain industries has dried up. There's enough honest work that for the first time in decades people aren't being driven to try to migrate to Europe for work. And that means that people traffickers and slavers are going out of business even if they manage to dodge the genomorphs.

    "I'll give him a nudge. Nothing else pertinent to report on my end."

    He nods.

    "Right then. I'll see you at the next meeting."

    "Prime Minister."

    "Don’t bloody remind me."

    He presses a button, and the screen goes dead. I check the clock. Hm. Yes, she's probably back by now.

    I get out of my chair.

    Mother Box, hush tube to Sunset's laboratory.

    Ping.

    I step through to see Sunset working on her arcane modelling program. She glances around.

    "Hey."

    Looks promising.

    "How'd it go with Celestia?"

    She looks back around.

    "It was… Informative? It was exactly the sort of lesson that if she'd given it to me before I left then I wouldn't have left. We didn't really… We just focused on the lesson. We didn't talk about anything else."

    "But you managed to spend productive time in one another's company?"

    "Yeah. I guess that's progress. Grayven, did you-" She swivels her chair around. "-suggest that to her?"

    "Yes, of course I did. But she managed to carry it out without making a mess of it."

    "By that low standard, good for her." She frowns. "But I thought you didn't want me to talk to her any more."

    "I don't think things between you can be fixed, but on the off chance I'm wrong I'm happy to coach her on how to relate to you. I don't think she's a bad person, I just don't think you're right for each other." … "So to speak."

    "Well… Thanks."

    "And in the strategic review I highlighted the lack of other ponies to take over the day/night cycle as a key weakness, so getting you up to speed is good for the planet."

    She looks unimpressed for a moment, but I see the rational side of her that I've tried to cultivate review the idea and realise that it's valid.

    "Well. Still. Thanks."

    I smile broadly. "You're welcome."

    'was thinking'

    Yeah, I imagine she'd like to see if his enlightenment can truly help him cope with the urge to slaughter his fellow politicians.

    It may stop him from being a berserker, or makes it more controllable, but politics can make even saints into berserkers.

    'surprising'

    Action politician anyone.

    Though Adom may be able to beat him.

    And maybe Hypolita, not sure if she has powers similar to Diana, but she is a demigod.

    'to his'

    I think he did that in his ending in a video game.

    As in, he covered Kahndaq in a magical forcefully and destroyed the rest of the planet.
