Konbart Is Real

🦣🌌✨ Call me Orla. She/Her. I'm 30+, and queer 🏳️‍🌈 Autistic.

This blog is 21+ and there will be occasional mature/adult content or themes.

This is a Bart Allen, Kon El, Superman, Fourth World and Legion of Super-Heroes centric blog. This is a COMIC blog. Whenever I talk about comic characters, unless I am specifying otherwise, I am referring to the comics. I am critical of the bat-fandom and fair in character criticism. Any criticism I talk about will be citable.

I have no BYF/DNI criteria, both are performative and functionally useless. I will instead block you if I find you annoying. I do block HP blogs on site.

KonBart Shipping Manifesto and Friendship Deep-Dive

Fanon vs Canon nuanced statement - I just want my non-Bat faves to stop getting mischaracterized in fanworks just to glaze and prop up Bats, because I cannot filter these types of content out because it is so widespread, and no such universal fanon tag exists, this is heartbreaking to me as I love comics for their depth and nuance. Additionally, much of fanon is largely based around misogyny, racism, classism, sexism, queerphobia and xenophobia; all of which make fandom NOT FUN. I am tired of having to see posts all the time from non-comic readers saying how much my favorite characters SUCK, the comics suck, or that certain events happened when they didn't.

Don't want to hear me complaining and criticizing the Batfam? Blacklist: batman critical, batfam critical, anti batman, anti batfam, anti fanon, fandumb

Comics that I blog about frequently:

Impulse

Superboy

Young Justice

Legion of Super-Heroes

L.E.G.I.O.N. and R.E.B.E.L.S.

The medical staff thought that was very unusual, but the Norgs were politicians and did say they might be busy, but what they had never seen before was when Lyle was fully developed and ready to be "born" the Norgs.... didn't show up.

They were late to their own child's birth 😂

Yes. I think all three would want children eventually one day and this is canon. Garth and Ayla have children and Rokk as well. I do not see anything about them that screams to me they would be hesitant to have children and their own non-traditional relationship doesn't really lead me to being childfree either.

For some ships and their overarching narrative DO lead me towards them being more childfree (like Konbart), but others just don't have this for me.

With the technology of the future there are so many ways for them to have children too; they could have children that are all biologically theirs so there is no "who is the dad/mom?" question, and ngl I think Garth should be pregnant. He certainly would be able to give birth in relative peace on Winath and Imra and Rokk would be glad he's safe there.

So yes, for them I do think they would want to be parents.

Answered!

In general I keep all my favorites my favorite and things shift around, but always keep my ultimate favorites my favorites.

Everything Tom King made him be and do.

13.) What's a character or ship you haven't written/drawn yet but would like to some day?

Answered but I would love to also write Lyle/Condo. Some tragedy. Bc I think that boy died in the PZH reboot.

5.) Out of all your fanworks that include [character], which is your favourite?

Well, I love them all but I REALLY like

Dark Crisis: Impulse because it has everything I love.

12.) What's the funniest or craziest AU idea you've ever come up with?

Hmm.

Maybe the Black Zero/Impulse thing... or maybe what I'm working on now with Bart as a Legionnaire. Maybe my Time Trapper Iris nonsense.

I think it would depend on who you ask, really.

I think the most ambitious one would be a Lyle/Querl Pacific Rim AU that may or may not ever see the light of day.

23.) Has your favourite character/ship changed over time?

All my faves stay my faves, and other things sort of morph around them but I generally keep coming back to them. How I approach them might change a lot though. Kon to me will always be Bart's lightning rod, the ultimate one. Even if I explore Bart with Querl or other characters Kon is the one.

2.) OT3?

I don't really have any OT3s for this team in any serious capacity. The most popular poly ship for this team also is wretchedly handled in fandom so I stay away from it (you all know what it is).

I do however think there should be more exploration of Cassie/Cissie/Anita because each do have something that can be contrasted and balanced between all 3, even if it is brief and doesn't last through adulthood. Maybe it is a teen romance and that's fine. Not all ships need to last forever.
