Blue Lantern Duke Thomas - Tumblr Posts
Batfam Lantern AU:
Some of my hcs for Lantern!batfam and how they came to be.
Jason: Fuck, I hate you guys so much... All high and mighty, pretending like you give a shit when you keep enforcing a system that's not fucking working...
Tim: hey what's that in the sky?
Dick: God you're such a fucking asshole, if you hate us so much why are you even here?
Jason: Well because some poor fucker has to make sure-
Duke: Jason, watch out!
Jason: *gets knocked out by the sheer extreme speed at which the violet ring flung itself at him.*
****
Tim: Hey Dick, how are you? We heard about that argument you had with Bruce, and reopening old wounds and everything...
Dick: That's sweet, but I'm doing great, don't worry! Punched a bunch of criminals, hung out with friends, now I feel amazing. Of course, if it gets me an excuse to hang out with my little brother...
Tim: Cool, because I'm already breaking into your apartment and I'm -woah, what the fuck is that?
Dick: Oh, you like my new suit?
Tim: what the fuck holy shit is that a red lantern ring? Can you take it off?
Dick: I mean, I think I'll die? It's fine, it's fine, totally cool. Probably someone will have an idea how to fix it if I need to. I'm perfectly calm!

Izzy: Hey Duke, you feeling good about physics?
Duke: Wait what's in physics?
Izzy: The test...? That's gonna count for like half our grade...?
Duke, who meant to study this weekend but spent it sleeping off opioids after Croc nearly entirely gnawed off his foot: Ah, right, the test. It's going to be fine! I've figured stuff out with worse odds.
Izzy: If you say so! Hey what's that hovering ominously around you?
Duke, absent-mindedly pocketing a blue ring: hold on a second, gotta dip, Dick is texting me he needs help. You'll never guess what stupid shit he's gotten himself into.

Damian: Jordan! I challenge you in combat for the right to your ring!
Hal: Eh, kid... You really need a green lantern ring?
Damian: I shall prove I am as worthy of this honour as the rest of my fami- will you quit gazing off? What are you staring at?
Hal: *wordlessly points at the indigo ring floating behind him*
Damian: oh.
More Lantern!Bats shenanigans
Blue Lantern Duke: *jumps off a building to dodge an attack*
Blue Lantern Duke: *creates a grapple construct made of pure hope*
Villain of the week: "such a fickle and fragile thing, Imma cut his line with my evil sword of power..."
Villain, after shattering his sword and all the bones in his wrist on the line: what the fuck
*****
Bludhaven Goon #1 (BG1): Dude, run! Nightwing's powered have tripled over night!
Bludhaven Goon #2 (BG2): Oh no, what happened? Did something happen in Gotham? Someone gone after Robin?
BG1: I don't know, but we need to- wait what is he doing
BG1: he's straight up glowing I-
BG2: he's lighting up the nightsky-
BG2: ohmygod we're gonna die
Meanwhile Red Lantern! Dick, ranting to Wally on the comms: yeah so Cass took all the hot water while showering then told me to 'deal with it', someone kept hiding pig whoopee cushions that go "oink" in my seats and I can't figure out who, Jasont told everybody my most embarrassing Nightwing debut stories with photographed evidence, Damian tried to kidnap Bitewing thrice and Tim skipped out to go to a party using a stratagem so needlessly elaborate it looked like Jason had designed it, and we all thought someone had kidnapped him! But no, yeah, the visit went well, manor's fine. You know how it is, siblings...

Rose: Hey Jason, how the fuck did you bag Kyle Rayner?
Star Sapphire Jason, whisper-shouting: I don't know what the fuck is going on, he popped in with yellow roses and offered to teach me how to make constructs, don't talk so loud I'm afraid that'll make him realise.
