Yeah, I'm just Legends Fan Girl Trash
Oct. 25th, 2018 04:41 pmI was laying in bed last night thinking about Constantine and his feelings about Gary. Also, I think Gary may be demi-sexual. Yes, Gary has been portrayed as a bit of a dufus, but he’s also super cute, super sweet, and, while gullible, he’s not actually an idiot. Not to mention, he’s brave as hell and you can fucking fight me on that. Sure, he’s a bit of a dork. He loves his Dungeons and Dragons enough that he’s a Dungeon Master for his group of friends. But being pantsed by a Speedster or being naive enough to be stolen from by the most thieving group of people on television since the Leverage doesn’t make you an idiot. I’m hoping that Gary will get a little better treatment.
I want to write a story about Gary and JC (yeah, I’m calling him that still because his first name is too generic and his last name is too long and honestly, it makes me giggle) and their moment of “whatever” that Gary asks about when they have the “is he a virgin” discussion because I just feel there is such a goldmine there for both characters. But I also know if I write it now, it’s gonna get Jossed next week.
Granted I could just say “eff it” and just go for it anyway. It’s likely that even if I can sort of make it fit with canon that it’s still gonna get Jossed eventually. I guess there’s just always going to be part of me that wants my stories to at least fit as headcanon.
Speaking of headcanons, I really hope that Helen of Troy is back again this season. I’d really like to see more of her with the Legends. I think she’d be a great person to team up with them now and then. Part of me wants her to show up with a girlfriend from Themyscira, but my headcanon is that she’s an asexual aromantic. I may have written about this previously, but if you’ve watched the episodes she’s in, she portrays zero interest in any of the men coming onto her and no interest in the women besides loving that they are warriors. When she becomes a warrior herself, her admiration shifts some, but it never seems romantic or sexual in nature. I really want them to make that part of her character. And not in a “men have scarred me for life” kind of way, though men certainly have been the cause of a great deal of her suffering. I want part of the reason that she’s suffered so much to have been because she has never and will never return any of the (weird and creepy, tbh) romantic and sexual interest men have shown her over the course of her life.
Helen gets transported to a new millennium and she’s like, “well, at least there isn’t an actual war going on over me.” She’s just so done with everyone and everything. I love her transformation when they’re able to take her somewhere safe for her. Man, I just really love her and want her to be happy and to see her all the time.
