So this morning I dreamed I got a Green Lantern ring :-)
Yes!
Am best on planet!
Am... really emphatically not without fear, but very experienced in ignoring it and doing the thing anyway!
*zooms around, green*

And then this guy turns up who was GL before, and he says that I got the ring because
I was pregnant
and
the baby
needed the protection.

*rage*

Like, even my subconscious can't superhero without some dude trying to take it away and make it gendered.

Next they'll be saying the baby is secretly the GL and I'll get written out entirely.



Sod that.



So obviously, given the interstellar nature of the GL corps, we can do this story, but we need more seahorse.
Male space seahorse got a pouch full of baby, ring goes there, baby girl is GL and the dad is just the mobile life support system.

Could be comedy gold.



Actually it's still reducing someone to their reproductive system so no that still sucks, but, defamiliarisation through inversion would maybe highlight why.



Last time I dreamed I got the GL ring I also dreamed I shared it out to as many people as possible for five minutes. Because what battle couldn't you win in five minutes with 288 GLs on it? Much better.



I'm still feeling stabby, it's very annoying.
