*bracing myself on my knees and trying to breath, nursing a cramp*
I got here as fast as I can. I just wanted to point out that THIS…
Is one of the gayest fucking lines of television I’ve heard in my life.
Even if the presence of the song itself somehow wasn’t a flashing spotlight enough, the literal voice of God directly draws attention to it. Telling us that in universe, a nightingale really is in fact singing in Barkley square, and to know its music is sweet regardless of if we can hear it. Just like there are really in fact angels (one fallen but we’ll let it slide) dining at the ritz, and they’ve been falling in love regardless of if they’ve been allowed to openly pursue that feeling.
And hell, maybe it’s BECAUSE of the traffic that the nightingale finally sings. Perhaps it wasn’t ready until it was sure no one else could listen.
We don’t acknowledge it enough that Jason canonically went to heaven after he died. I don’t care if it was retconned or whatever he was in heaven. We also don’t talk about how Green Arrow was the one who saw him there.
I just really need a story where the JL and Gotham heroes are fighting off some demonic threat and at some point a demon comes before a battle to give a “You’ll fail and the world will end” speech and refers to Jason by some angelic title before vanishing.
And everyone is going “?!?!?!”, including Jason bc he doesn’t have memories of the afterlife and the Oliver “Bitchass” Queen goes “yeah that tracks” and every one turns to him like “wtf Green Arrow!?” And he goes “yeah I saw him in heaven while he was dead” all casual-like ignoring that he has just given most of the JL a major shock and Jason and existential and moral crisis (a quiet, stupid part of him mourns that he can’t make the “I’ve been to hell” anymore bc he apparently went to heaven!? What!?)
