So I had a funny green lantern Hal thought. How often he probably spreads existential dread unintentionally or obliviously!
I mean, the man’s entire job model involves traveling the far reaches of the galaxy and meeting everyone and anything. Sure, the bat family has seen some shit and the league has aliens, but nobody travels as often or as far as Hal. Have you ever thought of writing something funny where Hal is just living life obliviously and other people are processing in the wake of whatever knowledge he dropped? Or something where people SEE hal on duty with aliens and realize that he’s super knowledgeable and talking about stuff they might not even know about because it’s so irrelevant to earth? Could be shippy or not, but I’m sure the wreckage would he hilariously either way!
I do actually really like this idea and I might hold onto it if you don't mind 🤔🤔
This works perfectly, 'cause it’s so easy to forget that Hal is actually a really clever guy, especially when the fandom likes to paint him as a dumbass who gets dunked on by the Batfam. (Barry gets this treatment too and that hurts me emotionally I love them)
I like the idea of Hal just telling everyone about his wild weekend in space, but he’s like dropping some of the most insane, existential, completely unhinged shit. All of it’s said with the same energy as a man telling you about his fishing trip with the boys. And the boys are the other Lanterns who are nodding along because they’ve seen his shit in real time.
