constance+viviane plays on the polar opposite twins trope ( which makes their switcheroo even less believable -acting exists, but they barely pretend in-text ) so making them gay+straight is the obvious maximum trope conclusion. viviane is the outgoing one. constance is the repressed one. constance is not her own person at all. constance replicates viviane in-real-life, as viviane is the shared plublic identity. constance replicates viviane in-costume, as she’s the one who’s taken up most of the mantle and unintentionally dictated how they should be. constance lets viviane have all the superhero identity at some point. this is layers upon layers of repression and lack of sense that doesn’t get addressed because this is par for course, but the psychological impact of being constantly depersoned… it’s not malicious, just that ‘take it seriously’ or ‘have a conversation’ are generally absent from the jl/i’s phrasebook. constance thinks it’s fine, so viviane thinks its fine; but this is a woman that faked her death to never again be herself in public, so her metric is skewed.

which is what i think constance and rex’s non-relationship was: constance trying to become viviane in every way, shape, and form after her death. viviane is the acceptable, public facing sister: sociable, likable, and very, very cishet. comstance feels pressured to be that sister, including establishing a romance with someone she hasn’t had an extended conversation with in ~40 issues (this is difficult to verify: the lack of pretense above is meant to signify who is who to the Reader, but it’s not like that is always followed, either ) and who responded to viviane’s reveal that she was dating rex was “girl good for you. i wish i had your problems” (abridged). rex doesn’t want this relationship; constance doesn’t know why she wants this relationship. it being an extension of viewing herself as her sister is the most compelling argument to me. we haven’t gotten to the gay part but that is not happening until she develops even a smidgeon of a sense of self. it’s not just about rex, either; i think it’s a shame the charade hadn’t gone on longer than 3 pages for the rest of the team because constance Should be able to pretend to be her sister. we no longer need that lack of pretense. this is mostly because the whole identity messiness was semi-retconned.

JUSTICE LEAGUE QUARTERLY (1990) #12: ON THE ROAD.

TORA want to take a vacation to explore the American Southwest, but no one wants to go with her ( and she definitely needs a buddy - she can't drive ... ). Finally, Doctor Hoshi goes along with Tora to attend a conference in New Mexico. They agree to use their powers as little as possible. ROAD TRIP!

Their car ( well, Beatriz's red convertible she oh-so helpfully lent ) breaks down after an unfortunate offroad swerve involving a gopher. After dealing with a frustrating mechanic, Kimiyo manages to repair it well enough to get it back on the road.

❝ I'M A PHYSICIST; I know quantum mechanics, not auto-mechanics ...

Along the way, they are accosted by a gang of bikers. Tora relents and uses her powers to freeze the leader of the bike gang into place, but miscalculates, and the situation deteriorates. Suddenly on the run, they drive their way across rocky cliffs, and find themselves in a dead end next to a sheer drop. Kimiyo doesn't want to escalate the confrontation any further, so Tora comes up with a brilliant idea :

SHE TAKES THE WHEEL,¹ PUTS THE PEDAL TO THE METAL,² AND RECREATES HER FAVORITE MOVIE OF LAST YEAR.³

The previous statement was a small lie; Tora is forklift certified.

Beatriz is going to be so, so mad they drove her car into a ravine.

Kiss included, of course.

( ... Kimiyo, after a brief moment of disorientation, remembers they can fly. )
