#simon baz

Since you did the some of the lanterns’ designs earlier I was wondering if you’d be willing to do Kyle and Simon? I’d really like to see them along with Jess since you’ve said you’ll do a design for her.

Love ur art, and hope you have a good day/night! <3

thank you so much!! and ofc! :D i also added Jo bc i love her (ꈍ◡ꈍ)

this illustration is taking ages....I thought i'd be done by now haha!

hal: willpower as daring (he's always doing the bold thing, even if it ends up being a mistake, like parallax or scapegoating himself, but a lot of the time, bold is what they need)

guy: willpower as grit (he's rough and tumble, always getting knocked down but also always, always gets back up)

john: willpower as integrity (he tries so, so hard to do the right thing every time, and sometimes this results in hard decisions, but he at least tries to do what's right)

kyle: willpower as creativity (he's an artist, obviously, but beyond that, he also had to answer "what does it mean to be a Green Lantern?" without the help of a corps around him)

simon: willpower as faith (exclusive to him as a GL are healing and future vision, which i think are a nod to the miracles of Islamic prophets, and even in the text himself, he is able to do these things because he chooses not to believe in the limitations he is told, and rather to believe in himself; he also at first struggles to trust in his ring, as communicated through his carrying of a gun on his person, but he later overcomes this)

jessica: willpower as growth (i think it's fair to say that jessica, more than most GLs, has to overcome fear more than most, but i think it's also a really important part of her character that anxiety will always be with her and that her journey with mental health doesn't have to be linear to be significant)

jo: willpower as perseverance (she's incredibly driven, but she was also directionless, which is why she kept failing to find the right "system" through which to better the world--until she became a GL)

keli: willpower as survival (her backstory is all about how she had some very hard circumstances and had to work to survive, and as the youngest GL in mainline comics, she's also gone through it, but she always makes it out okay)

kim: willpower as resourcefulness (tai at first dismisses that his grandma could be "creative" as a GL because she didn't seem the type, but it's pointed out to him that it must take a lot of creativity to start over in a new country; i think it's fair to say that this creativity can be flavored as resourcefulness, especially since kim is shown to have been a leader in her community even after coming to the U.S. as an immigrant with nothing)

The justice league hurriedly responds to a call for backup at a little in the middle of nowhere place by the name of Amity Park. 

The situation had seemed so simple. 

A Star Sapphire had suddenly shown up on Earth which isn’t immediately cause for concern but she was unidentified, so a lantern was definitely going to have to look into it if only just to make sure that nothing bad was going on. There are two planet side green lanterns, Simon and Jessica. So they responded to handle the potential situation. 

Things rapidly spun out of control when they realized it wasn't just a Star Sapphire. 

"I hate to say this but we're gonna need backup" Simon tells Cyborg, "the Star Sapphire has brought something with her. My first guess was a white martian but..." The other one can do some manner of density shifting, and he can go invisible, but they know ways around that. Whatever this one is doing isn’t that though.

"Why isn't this working!?!" Comes Jessica's slightly panicked voice in the distance, "he keeps just going through my creations! dammit, think think Jess" She tried to contain him with a flamethrower construct but he just ignored it, like he’s seemingly ignoring everything else she’s throwing at him.

"Our constructs have zero effect on the other one, the alien, meta? man I don’t know he’s human shaped" 

"What is the situation other than the two hostiles?"

"Uh we got some government agents who are retreating because of the Star Sapphire wrecking their stuff. And the civilian people here seem to be falling under her influence, so she must be human. She's from here, she needs emotional connection to pull that stuff off."

The people are furious, the violet glow around them clearly indicates that the girl is using her ring to amp them up but if Simon didn’t know any better he’d say this was red lantern stuff.

Well there are more ways to whip people up into a frenzy, by hurting their loved ones for example.

There is a brief moment where it can be heard that Simon and Jessica try to get into a more advantageous position. 

Simon grunts, "dammit, those agents seemed to have weapons that actually worked on the other guy but the Star Sapphire used her violet constructs to shield him and destroy their guns and we've been struggling since" this whole situation stinks, he has a weird feeling about all of it.

"Simon this is really really bad, i can't keep restraining all these civilians, we're running out of energy fast!"

Cyborg tries to get a visual on the situation from his position in the Watchtower while he’s notifying any league affiliated heroes who are nearby and available. 

But all of a sudden he realizes there is just nothing, just a big lap of void where the two lanterns are supposed to be, there is no cctv footage, no cell towers, no internet connection. Just what the hell is going on here.

Then the audio transmission starts to violently crackle.

A new voice laced with static can suddenly be heard, "There you two are"

"Shit"

"Is the justice league coming yet? Are they finally going to do something?" the staticy voice continues.

"Stay back you-"

"Or maybe they still need more of a reason to act" 

The audio cuts out. 

"Jessica! Simon! Come in!" ... "Shit!" 

Cyborg finally gets a clear picture with the satellite cameras and now sees the entirety of Amity Park has been covered with a crystalized violet dome. It’s then that he remembers the story Hal told quite some time ago now about a Star Sapphire who managed to put a whole planet into love stasis.

They are gonna need more help with this one he thinks.

Meanwhile Jazz is still shakily trying to figure out how her new pink powers work, now that all the fighting is over (for now), the GIW forcefully expelled from Amity, and the two Justice league people captured and restrained.

Everything happened so fast, one moment the GIW had knocked out her brother and were forcefully taking him away and while she saw them drive off (she was pretty sure she was screaming) a pink thing just froze her in place, She was pretty sure someone said something about “great love in her heart” and then she was… well she was flying and- and there wasn’t really any time to question things then so she may have kinda gone and ripped into the van that had Danny.

She’s pretty sure she healed him, and then things just completely spiraled out of control from that point on. and now she’s here.

She’s pretty sure this is crazy villain behavior, she’s going to get put on some sort of watchlist and then she’ll never get to be a psychologist but it’s fine.
