(I am not saying all shippers!!!! Didn’t put the whole ship names to keep it out of their tags)

Can we talk about it?

Let’s talk about how fans of (mostly white) queer ships (usually ships with two men) will ignore the important women in one or both of their lives.

Let’s use an example: there are multiple fanfics/AUs that are created that forgets Linda Park, leaves her out, or even kills her off for the sake of B*rdflash. (I acknowledge Dick isn’t white in comics canon but there is still misogyny there).

Another example: J*yRoy shippers (not all) have taken over the Lian Harper tag so much that you can barely find a CheshRoy post or a post of them as a family or a you know a post of Lian and her mother?!

Mention for Halb*rry fans who forget Wally is Iris’ nephew before she met Barry and just has her dead or not in the picture.

Hmm. Seems like a pattern.

Yknow, if I’m on Tumblr, I may as well use it to shout my many thoughts into the void. Today’s topic is Nesting Instinct, my theoretical submission for Halbarry Week 2023 (if I finish it) and companion piece for Bluer Skies, which is topgun but like. Whatever!! TG characters don’t even show up in this one, just get referenced a couple of times. I do what I want, and what I want is to turn my favorite characters into birds.

For context, this is a Wing AU where those with wings are called avians. 98% of characters in NI will be avians. All avians have inherent magic since avians are inherently magical creatures, but one avian from each flock got extra magic powers that helped that flock escape human persecution a few hundred years ago, and that magic is passed down from one Protector to another.

Alright, let’s bullet point.

- Fun fact!! It’s hard to write two pieces in one world for different audiences!! How much do I worldbuild if Bluer Skies contains all of my worldbuilding but is also miles away from being finished!! Does it even matter if I don’t anticipate that much audience overlap!! Or maybe I should anticipate audience overlap and I shouldn’t spoil things too much? Decisions decisions. It is fun for my POV characters to learn the same things in different ways though. This is definitely the Less Crucial piece to read though.

- Because of The Way Things Are For Hal (he got born into Hell for Avians ((Project Angel)) and as such didn’t get a real name, watched his best friend get nearly killed by and escape from Satan for Avian ((Morningstar)) and had no idea what happened to him afterwards, and then lived as Morningstar’s replacement pet for the next ten years), he is decidedly written as according to these circumstances, which some will see as OOC. To that I say, this is an AU. There is not a Character to be In.

- My darling dearest Barry, on the other hand, got stuck as Protector of one of the last terrestrially migratory flocks, with his special super speed magic, and has to deal with the challenges of being practically in charge of keeping his flock on the move and safe from the many, many things that would do them harm. This is especially hard when the main anti-wild avian force is on the verge of war with the wild avians.

- Circumstances cause them to meet!! Wild!!

- Hal is a violet-green swallow. They’re incredibly aerial and acrobatic birds, which fits with his prowess in the air. Their wings are also green. I considered making him a green heron, since his power set kinda matched with heron’s tool usage, but decided flying was more important to Hal’s character.

- Barry is an Allen’s Hummingbird. I was always going to make him a hummingbird, it was just fortuitous that I stumbled across one that is the Allen’s and is also reddish orange. I’m hilarious, I know. Hummingbird since, while they’re not the fastest in stoop or horizontal flight, they’ve got mad BPM and can be made Faster with Fast Magic.

- Wally’s a white throated needletail and Iris is a treeswift. Swifts, treeswifts, and hummingbirds are all in the same order, which I thought was appropriate, since none of them are directly related but they’re a family anyways. It’s not confirmed, but allegedly needletails have the fastest horizontal flight speed, so shoutout to Kid Flash for that one.

- On the other hand, swifts and swallows are not that related, but had a bit of a convergent evolution moment, and I Do Intend on using that to influence the dynamic between Wally and Hal.

- In case it wan’t clear, each day will be a chapter, so it’s so cool of you guys to pick prompts that work really well with the story I wanted to tell. Also shoutout to all of the DC vs Vampires quotes! Barry and Hal had like five pages together before The Inevitable, and they were five very gay pages.

- It was also very cool of DC to make Hal a pilot, which means that he fit into my preexisting au where pilots are avians when I got into DC after I got into Top Gun. He’s even got a call sign, which is extra convenient since avians born in Project Angel only get their canon call sign as a name since they’re seen as tools and less than human and all that.

- The thing is. Barry is a Fundamentally Nice person. That’s why Earth 2’s Johnny Quick is the furthest thing from a direct parallel you can get; Barry is not allowed to ever be evil. This is very good for Highball, who has never received a kindness ever.

- On the other hand, Nesting Instinct Highball is a survivor and trauma-hardened, which gives him the ability to be Not A Nice Person. Barry needs somebody like that to balance out his Niceness, lest he be overrun by the many strong personalities in his flock. Highball is also skilled and adaptable, and there’s something about a person who will do anything you say without complaint, probably.

- Anyways I have many more Thoughts but I don’t want to spoil any of the good bits. Hopefully I’ll finish it in time for the Week, and hopefully you’ll then read it. Maybe then I’ll even finish Bluer Skies so that everything in Nesting Instinct will get put into context. Wouldn’t that just be wild?

Fandom: Give us healthy straight relationships, please!

Creators: *Procedes to give the fandom a healthy, happy, in love relationship with kids*

Fandom: UGH! WHY ARE ALL THESE RELATIONSHIPS SO STRAIGHT! IT'S CLEAR THAT SHE/HE ARE GAY! WHY ARE YOU FORCING THEM TO BE TOGETHER!

Fandom: Give us male rivalry! Why don't we ever get that!

Creators: *Procedes to give the fandom a toxic ass rivarly where one guy thinks that one guy is a terrorist for an entire year and another guy decides to kill the other guys son and torture him for years on end*

Fandom: Oh my god! They're so in love and are so gay for the other! Don't worry my gay bby's. I'll save you!

Fandom: Give us a strong black female character who can show her emotions as well!

Creators: * Procedes to give the fandom a black woman as a lead character and have her cry when she should be crying and also have her be strong both physically, mentally and emotionally and giving her a realistic background*

Fandom: Ugh! All she does is bitch! Why can't she just understand that the world doesn't revolve around her! And her background is so unrealistic!

Fandom: Give us a strong female friendship!

Creators: *Procedes to give the fandom a female friendship with ups and downs but those two staying loyal as fuck to the other*

Fandom: Yeah but if you make that girl go at it at that girls lover then we can finally have some drama on this fandom!

Fandom: Give us 2 male best friends from childhood!

Creators: *Procedes to give the fandom two best friends from childhood who went to each others weddings as best man's and only see each other as brothers.*

Fandom: Oh my God! Why won't you make them gay! They're so cute together, you heartless monsters.

I can honestly go on but it's too early in the morning. Message me if you want more.

i’m honestly done with halbarry i hate it i’m so sick of it

#anti halbarry #i won't say barry deserves better or hal isn't even like that etc it's not even fucking canon #but i'm done yall #it's just me i just don't feel it anymore #but it's not without fandom influence either #but i'm saving that for a rant lmfaodjfwojg

[fastestloseralive]

anyways halbarry was real in the flashpoint paradox animated movie and you can’t change my mind

#I dunno the general opinion on that movie I think it’s fucked up but also I don’t take cartoon movies seriously enough to care #anyway. someone ask me to elaborate #ALSO THIS IS NOT ANTI-WESTALLEN BC I SHIP BOTH LMAO #bc I know Barry and Iris are together in that movie! and I love it #hal jordan #barry allen #the flash #green lantern #halbarry #my post

[frozenrose20]

So I'm not fully up to date on the whole storyline of DC vs vampires but I know Nightwing is the vampire king so that must mean he was the one that told Hal to murder Barry because of his powers and what not but that begs the question since we got angsty Halbarry will we also get birdflash angst? Because if so I might become a DC anti cuz my heart can't take it

[flashfuture]

DC seems a lot more willing to have girls kiss girls than boys kiss boys and it pisses me off

Yep or it’s John Constantine who they don’t take seriously even though I would die for him and he deserves a boyfriend that’s not a joke.

Or Jason- Diana’s twin who’s just not in the main universe anymore he’s in the dark multiverse and we just got a glimpse of his boyfriend

Midnighter/Apollo who are on and off faster than Hal and Carol

Plus let’s not forget that Hank/Ray obviously a Halbarry tease that ended with a good ol bury your gay

Todd Rice of course Alan Scott’s son. He and Damon were quite cute but Todd was erased from existence till recently.

And of course Hartley Rathaway who they made date a cop??????

So it’s just it’s not done well. And there always feels like a catch with these relationships even with the girls.

Harley and Ivy take the be gay do crimes thing to the next level and out the window sprawling to the ground. Anti-heroes? Really? They’re both villains don’t sugar coat them cause you want them to be your gay rep.

Kate is just all kinds of bad so I’m gonna ignore Ellen of the DC universe

Harper Row is like they googled lesbian and made the first image that popped up lol. I don’t mind her really it’s just you know they did.

Yeah so there is a lot to wonder about from DC because it’s clear they are not as invested in their characters as the fans are lol

[animocity]

The main problem I have w ‘The Flash’ is: it should be more gay

#no but seriously #what's with all these cw shows being hella anti not straight #the most popular queer ship flash has was coldflash #but now my boy's dead #they should bring in a good love interest for barry #like hmm idk green lantern??? #halbarry should be popular #or just give cisco the boyfriend he deserves #or caitlin a girlfriend #make wally bi in the show like how he is in the comics???? #just bring in some more queer relationships bc having only straight ships is so fucking annoying #maybe the reason why the fanbase is trash #is bc their mainstream ships are too??? #like c'mon guys #snowb*rry ain't gonna happen #and west*llen isn't that good #the show is turning/is shit now #maybe salvage it by not having shitty writing #mostly around love interests

What are your top/bottom preferences?

ANON YOU HAVE ENTERED A RABBIT HOLE

Ahem. Mouse's unconventional top/bottom preferences. Mostly inspired by the fact that I, a baby-faced shy and awkward dork, am a top and want to acknowledge shy and awkward top rights. A lot of these were a bigger deal in older fandom, but some still are relevant.

In pre-2016 SPN fandom, it was hard as hell to find bottom!Dean. DEAN IS A BOTTOM. CAS TOPS. SAM IS A SWITCH. fight me.

I remember 2013!Sherlock fandom insisting that top!Sherlock was too gross and abusive to John. (huh. sounds like antis.) SORRY Y'ALL BUT THAT'S BS.

Bakugou is a bottom. I don't make the rules

Loki is a top

LET STILES STILINSKI TOP 2K19

Bruce Wayne is a switch, but he absolutely tops Clark Kent, dammit. He bottoms for Diana, Joker, and most of his other villains.

Barry Allen is a top. Especially in Halbarry. Hal is DEFINITELY a bottom.

Charles Xavier tops the hell out of bratty bottom Erik. Nobody can change my mind on this.

Bucky is a switch. He can top too dammit! Let Steve bottom. For that matter, let Tony top.

Let Hank Anderson bottom for once y'all oh my goooooooooood, or at least bottom from the top

I still have gripes with the HBO War fandom for insisting Brad tops in Bradnate or Bradray ships. Not that anyone is even in that fandom anymore. ;a; come back

UK tops in USUK, god dammit. Enough you can't spell uke without uk. HE TOPS ;AAAAAA;

Kyle tops in every South Park ship, I don't make the rules.

Dratchet fandom doesn't have enough top!Ratchet and this pains me

HANZO TOPS

Red tops Green!!

Silver tops Gold, for that matter!!

GrimmUlqui with Top!Ulquiorra when

I'm pretty sure Sasunaru fandom is evenly split, but I subscribe to Naruto is a complete bottom

Kakashi bottoms too 👀👀👀

I'll probably remember more later, but this is definitely too rambly already

hey I want to say you and chim are really good people. I hate most of crazy fandoms in tumblr,(you know, harassment, bullying, anti other chatacters) but you are nice and kind. It's really rare to see calm and nice people in tumblr these days. Halbarry fandom is blessed by you two of exsistence. So thank you and please keep your love for halbarry!

That is really sweet of you, thank you I’m glad that people feel comfortable around me and I agree, tumblr fandoms can be very exhausting. I guess the best you can do is find like minded people and just stick to those. I’m really fortunate to have chim, since we talk together a lot and share most of our fandoms.

If there was going to be a God of Light and God of Death Halbarry teamup issue, what kind of things would you like to see?

i think my biggest gripe with barry in the darkseid wars was that no one helped him ever. he was so distressed when he got possessed by “death” and literally no1 tried to help him at all. he said he couldn’t control himself and was desperately looking for some way to keep a lid on this huge power inside of him but just?? ended up being shoved to background shots and not actually doing that much.. and the “climax” of that arc was really lame and anti-climactic so

god of light hal was just so?? like the manifestation of being able to see the beauty in the universe (which death is a part of) and it would have been incredible to have hal help barry through the turmoil he was dealing with and to have his back like they did in the Old days.. like they had hal go help bruce just bc dc gotta suck batman’s dick as much as possible but i’d argue that barry needed help more.. and hal would have been better suited to helping him than anyone else

you have the most optimistic and ball-of-sunshine dude in the world get possessed by death and being constantly terrified and distraught and take the guy who’s the best at overcoming fear and literally holds all the light of the universe in the palm of his hand and?? hal could have helped barry deal with the terror he was feeling and get him to be calm so they can think this through together and figure out a way to get death outta him like.. they were just opposites in the story arc (light/dark, life/death) and it would have been an amazing one-shot honestly.. just think of like?? manapul doing that art... oh Boy

#i would die honesty... manapul's GoL hal was honestly so incredible #i want to get a big posted of that cover but i can't find it anywhere qq #anyways.......... #i should write a fic about this one day.. hum.. #imagine hal tugging barry close and the little death mask of barry's face just slowly fading away #like hal's light burns away the darkness #B') wtf i want it #morcey

CAN WE START A SHORT HAL JORDAN CLUB!?

#bottom hal jordan #Hal Jordan #Halsin #Bruhal #Batlantern #Anti halbarry #green lanter corps #green lanterns #green lantern #Short Hal Jordan #This is giving me such a good fic idea to do #Imagine Bruce being a smug bastard about it though

[zayray030]

Quick reminder!

Any Hal Jordan fic idea is either Batlantern or Hal Jordan just being a badass without other people. Carol can also be used but please don't. HalBarry or Hal Clark or anything else is off the table. I dislike any ship that has Hal with anyone other than Bruce or Carol.

[zayray030]

I would like to kindly remind everyone that Wally is Iris's nephew and he and Barry would have absolutely no connection if she hadn't met Barry and married him later on so please, if you're going to write any fic with Barry and Wally don't make it to look like that Barry and Wally have known each other since Wally was in diapers and have him adopt him with Hal or whatever.

Iris is amazing and kick started Kid Flash so kindly don't write her off.
