panel edits by me :D because the native people in this comic (Aquaman 1994) are bright fucking red

I think they should bring Koryak back, and I think everyone needs to get more Koryakpilled. I don't care how many hoops they need to jump through to bring him back I miss him and his water mind beam

originals under the cut. be warned

Yes, I know you have to xD Your damp boys 🫶

So I was playing around with Arranged Marriage and what could push Garth and Koryak together mostly against their will, and thought about how Garth isn't truly part of the family. He's emotionally part of the family! But in fantasy worlds there is often things tied to the bloodline... and those things, Garth wouldn't have access to.

But Koryak would.

And you know, it wouldn't be unreasonable to consider the husbands and wives to be part of the family, magically speaking. So if there was, let's say, an old spellbook that used to belong to Shalako and was tied to his descents............. Garth's only real way of gaining access to it would be to marry one of them. His options are Arthur or Koryak, and Arthur is in the surface and also no. please no.

So when Atlanta (yes, she's here, of course she is I love her) proposes the spellbook as the only thing that can save Atlantis from doom, and Koryak doesn't know enough magic to use it... I mean they could wait for Atlan, but most of Poseidonis would be gone by then. So Garth and Koryak must marry ("he's already married! to me!" "oh in those times polyamory was accepted, dear, the book won't have a problem with it" "I have a problem with it!" "we ALL have problems with it, Dolphin" "I think--" "shut the fuck up Vulko"). It means nothing! Really! All of them know it's not real, it's just to save Atlantis, and it's not even legally binding and--

"Why isn't it working? I still can't read it."

"Oh."

"Grandma. Please."

"I think the book isn't considering the marriage valid."

"Because I'm married already?"

"No... Because... you haven't consummated it."

"... this is some bull--"

"WHAT."

And then it's PWP for world saving reasons! The book doesn't consider handjobs consummation either, by the way, Shalako's understanding of sex was quite reductive!
