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

...That got me thinking. He should really get in touch with Wallace, ask how his side effects are going, and offer to try to get a consultation with a maltusian about it, since they seem to have at least some understanding of magic stuff, even if they have a very different approach to such things.
I feel really confused about what exactly the Controllers is a collaboration about. I mean, it explicitly isn't a collaboration about 'defeating the reach', and there definitely isn't anything clear that makes the Controllers working on something other than the reach war, and random other maltusians on maltus.

 

I don't know where you're from, but around here it's learner's permit at 14, full license at 16.

 

Kansas law is (or at least was)
Farmer's permit - 14, but your family had to own some farm ground (technically, we drove the back roads whenever the kids feet reached the peddles, but that was in the early 2000s)
Learner's permit - 16
Full - 18

Darn, joke would not work. Too much variance in the law across the nation.

 

You know, I actually forgot. How did Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes Paul manage to recharge his ring?

 

Huh. I'm from Kansas. It changed since I got my own license.

(Though I, too, drove the pickup to help lay irrigation pipe when I was big enough to control it. That was in the late 1980s.)

 

I think Zoat mentioned that he managed to get hold of a infinity stone, but that could also have been the MCU one.
Edit: I just looked it up, he used a Norn Stone, while MCU Paul used a infinity stone.

 

I only knew about the Farm permit being special because the local police had a thing about "underage driving" so I had very strict rules on only driving between school, farm, and home. Many of my friends were annoyed that I got to drive that early.

Though, now that I think about it. I do think they added the Learner's permit and Full license in the 90's. I recall some of my other friends complaining about just missing the cut-off and not getting their full license for 2 more years.

 

At this point I don't even care who Paul ends up with but I'm sorry, in this fic, give me AlanxDiana or give me death.

 

Is there an RP thread where I can duel you to the death? Because them are fighting words, and can only be meet with dice at high-noon.

 

I'm personally fond of Alan with Hinon, myself.

 

It can be a three-way death match, because unless Ganurath is trolling us, wars have been started for less.

 

That's basically pedophilia.

 

Common sense Paul probably didn't make many of the choices Grayven and Oh El did.

For example I am sure common sense Paul would have avoided Constantine like he was the plague and immediately get into getting Doctor Fate a new body, not leaving him in a shelf.

He would probably be looking into alternative superpowers to his greed ring just in case. And also discard all the dangerous ones.

What else?

Well, besides getting miss Martian a human telepath to talk with, get therapy for everyone and so on...

Darn, sounds too much like a fix fic.

Right, common sence means he would have contacted Mister Miracle (Scott Free) about the Sphere to avoid misunderstandings.

Also he would give the League a list of possible threats, or if he was paranoid, probably work on anti mind reading defences like Grayven.

Thinking about it, his knowledge of DC Comics would probably be the most he be worried about.

Think of what Luthor could do with something like that. And all that knowledge is just a guy the Light can hire away. Or just a mage using mind control.

 

They are both mature adults, in both the physical and mental senses in each case. Just how basic is the logic behind that assertion?

More making a joking reference to an in-setting conversation. It was established earlier that Hinon's desires, in their entirety, is to be as Hinon as possible. A romantic entanglement would make her less Hinon and more [Name]'s [Romantic Designation], as much as it would make [Name] less [Name] and more Hinon's [Romantic Designation].

 

The logic seems to be based on the assumption that there isn't necessarily a upper limit to mental maturity; that is, it's always possible to get wiser and more capable with age.

Whether or not this is true, it's usually not a huge difference in humans after a certain point. But Hinon is billions of years old. So she is tens of millions of times older than Alan, which is about the same as the age difference between Alan and a zygote which has been fertilized for a few seconds.

 

Increasing the upper bound on wisdom doesn't increase the minimum prerequisite for sexual intimacy, and even if it did for some reason I doubt that Hinon has that much more experience than Alan in the field.

 

YES. THIS.
Hinon is literally older than humanity itself, and the difference between their ages... well, by human standards, a romantic relationship with something that much older than you would be weird or daunting at best. But by Maltusian standards, it would probably be as weird for her to be dating a human (that isn't even a century old, that cradle-robber) as it would be like a human being in a romantic relationship with a dog. Sure, they may have the capacity for the same general emotions, but there is an ENORMOUS GAP of intelligence, experience and emotional maturity between the two.

It would make much better sense for her to pursue one of Earth's gods, except A; I don't think she's looking for romance right now, and B; there's still the same issues of age, intelligence, experience, and emotional maturity she would have from a human.

Anyone from Earth, period, is going to be too young for her.

 

Why not pair Alan with both Diana and Paula?

 

Or, it was a joke?

Well, I thought it was funny.

 

Seems I was right about Paula's hookup.

 

Ooo... Murder mystery time.

 

I was looking through your past comments trying to figure out who it was Paula hooked up with. I thought you were saying it was Lantern Xalitan Xor for a moment. If that were the case Paula would be surprisingly open minded, and in desperate need of a purple healing ray afterwards. He's a big fella.

 

Power rings are awesome, and Grayven demonstrated proficiency in using them to overcome that limitation.

Speaking of, I'm curious what happened to Xor in Grayven's continuity.

 

Paul is a good boss.

 

So, the OLC is going with more personalised oaths. Most suitable.

Spoiler: Commentary spoilered for length

"Propiety Unlocked."

I like that explanation. Exactly how a soldier-for-life would understand it.

In addition to healing him, No doubt?

I owe those I injured or slew no debt, but nor do I bear then malice.

Good idea.

I was happy with a life of honourable service...

And as an Orange Lantern, doing so would critically weaken him.

Tale as old as time...

Wait, what?

Even 'alien culture' only goes so far. Methinks we have our plot!

Curiouser and curiouser...

If he had gone straight for revenge, he'd have made a better Red Lantern than Orange.

Yup, road trip!

Well, we have a plot, bets on how it'll play out?

 

I've got five Likes on it being a Reach plot.

 

I like this guy.

He's got a real code, and he lives it.

Awesome.

 

Thank you, corrected.

 

No, his evil twin did it.
