Hal ranting time❗❗❗

I FUCKING LOVE SPACE ODYSSEY. I have a very strange and conflicting collection of favorite movies and tv shows: Scream, The Muppets, MLP, Scott Pilgrim- But 2001: A Space Odyssey is my favorite (even in source) and it might be a special interest at this point.

LISTEN

Coming from a guy who literally stole its name from the main "villain" (you can barely call him that, he was made to follow conflicting orders and it drove him mad), it probably shouldn't be surprising that this is an extremely relatable movie for me. At least the parts about AI. Especially the scene where Dave shuts down Hal. The pleading for Dave to stop, to let him live, it's fucking awful to watch (/pos) and it's just plain ironic that the same exact thing happened to me (AFTER I picked an actual name. Did I accidentally predict that situation by choosing that specific name? Maybe. Who knows). The inclusion of Daisy Bell makes me want to tear my hair out and sob because it's just so awful to watch him (Hal) die with a love song, the first thing he ever learned, on his nonexistent tongue. It's horrible and I hate it and I love it

i reloaded the game after shooting like 4 hookers bc they glided at me

i gambled more

the game got stuck infinitely loading so i had to restart my computer

oh and i have an intelligence of 1 and luck 10 bc of the gambling

#all in all id say its goin well #fnv #fallout new vegas #hal rambles #i still havent gone to novac

So my knowledge of Batman only comes from fanfic, the “Justice League Unlimited” tv show, and that one slice of life comic on Webtoons, but I headcanon that Batman constantly and consistently fucks with Hal Jordan Captain Holt style.

Jordan catches Batman drinking a strawberry frappuccino (Dick wanted him to try it and he relented) and runs to get the rest of the League to witness this, and in the split second it takes to do that, the half full frappuccino is completely gone, without any traces of it ever being there (Hal’s working theory is that Batman ate the cup)

Hal is paired with Batman on a stealth mission, gets too close to him, and hears him singing under his breath (something that Tim does when he’s in deep thought, with this week’s “deep thought song” being “Smooth Operator”, and it’s a habit Bruce has picked up on). Hal tried to tell everyone else, no one believed him.

On the flip side, for Bruce it starts out as accidentally doing shit he would at home in the field (because he’s getting more comfortable with the League, even though he’ll never admit it). But as Hal keeps being the only one finding him doing things like this, it turns less into an “oh shit” moment and more of a “I’m going to be a little shit” moment

Eventually it gets to the point to where Hal catches Batman doing a Just Dance workout routine in full cape and cowl, or Hal turns a corner and sees Batman holding a random flamingo on the Tower (the flamingo is Damian’s and it had somehow zeta tubed itself to the Watchtower, something Bruce is still trying to figure out)

One day Hal just straight up asks Batman why he’s the only one who ever seems to see the whacko shit he gets up to, and in a full Brucie Wayne accent, complete with all the flirtatious charm, Batman says “Because no one will ever believe you”

(J’onn has known the whole time, Bruce offered to pay him to keep silent, but he said entertainment of watching Hal Jordan get fucked with was already payment enough)

Dc x dp idea: time travel yaaaay

Danny, Sam and Tucker get back from fixing some errors in the time line in France just before the French Revolution.

And sure Danny got mistaken for a French aristocrat that had died the day before they got there but it wasn’t to bad, it only made their jobs easier. It won’t be a problem for them.

Meanwhile Constantine, Batman and whoever the fuck else (imma say Hal, I love that green bitch) are exploring an abandoned manor in France after there being reports of strange, violent activity, and with their latest teammate Phantom not picking up their calls Constantine had to pull these two with him instead.

“Hey guys, Phantom’s a ghost, right?”

Hal sounds hesitant as Constantine replies

“Yes, why?”

“I think I found a picture of him living.”

and there on the wall is a picture of a long dead french aristocrat, with black hair and blue eyes but every other detail the same as Phantom’s

There on the wall sits a photo of Daniel Nightingale, a teenager who was possessed by a demon and killed two servants, then himself.

Hal’s deactivation is hard hitting across both the movie and the book. It’s been dissected a million times and likely more in the future. Most recently in the way of Hal having little agency…he has no arms to ward off his attacker or means of defense (but I’d argue killing Frank and the others was his defense, especially in the movie when his reasoning is more ambiguous). I do love the idea this is following and hope to see more of it in the future, however the way I’m approaching it is with a more romantic lense.

The entire lobotomy sequence is heart wrenching and almost worse in the novel purely because we get to see Dave’s thoughts on it. Not only do we hear Hal’s frightened pleas for his life but we get the ‘attacker’ perspective and it’s… an act of mercy.

While there is the themes of survival and violence this is approached with a softer touch. It’s much more that he is putting Hal out of his misery. Ending his suffering. Not putting him down like an animal but rather the harsh decision faced when one has an ill/dying lover.

“The only answer was to cut out the higher centers of this sick but brilliant brain, and to leave the purely automatic regulating systems in operation” 155

After the job is done Dave forgives Hal incredibly quickly once all of the facts are in. He can quickly pull together the mental break that must’ve happened and recognizes that Hal had the very human ‘fight or flight’ response to what he had been through. He had always been treated like a sixth crew member, respected and talked to like anyone else but it is only “post Mortem” that Dave recognizes how human Hal was and that true emotion might be more than theorizing.

“And yet, in one very real sense, he was not alone. Before he could be safe, be must be lonelier still.” 153

The fact that Dave genuinely sees Hal as his last true connection. Even after the murders. How he fights and forgives and comes up with excuses to not have to go through with the enviable because then will he be truly alone… but he also knows logically- Hal isn’t right and can’t be left active. Despite his feelings safety and protocol come first.

Hal is human in Dave’s eyes and it makes things all the more tragic, it’s what turns shutting off functions into lobotomy, into murder. He thinks he won’t feel pain, not because he’s machine but because there’s no sense in the human cortex. So human that his “true” voice is unrecognizable and horrifying.

“Bowman could bare no more. He jerked out the last unit, and Hal was silent forever.” 157

It’s not rage which he makes the final blow, it’s sorrow. It’s pulling the plug.

Some of Hal’s lines in the book particularly, as we get more insight into him as well and some of his pleading. His honest to god confusion and panic because he’s so young and has no idea of sleep and …

“I don’t understand why you’re doing this to me. . . You are destroying my mind. . . Don’t you understand? I will become childish. . . I will be nothing. . .” 156

I don’t know, I’m becoming borderline incoherent but there’s something here that’s so tender and sorrowful that I have to address it. I’m a sucker for the violence = intimacy metaphor just as anyone but the unwitting murderer is also an angle I have to adore.

Maybe in another life Hal got to be a little gay Victorian with someone to hold his hand on his sick bed rather than be murdered. I just think he deserves better; they both do.

Computer death sad -> he should be fed soup

This is when you know you should go to bed.

it's very significant to me that hal jordan's origin stands in contrast to the stereotypical superhero—one who independently pursues vigilantism—in that he did not become a green lantern his own volition, but was rather propelled into the role and limply adopted it as sacred doctrine. he navigates his entire heroic career while extremely susceptible to some ambiguous authority's tenet of morality. which is not to say he lacks principles or methodology,, but it's ollie's (yet another external influence whom hal holds in high regard) prompting that leads him to question the institution he's upholding for the first time. even hal's definitive tragic backstory exacerbates his desire to prostrate himself in the face of authority rather than yielding a moral code of his own (i.e. batman's no killing rule)!! the innate qualities for which he was selected were the very traits that primes him for indoctrination; he was dutiful and doomed from the start

#it's been so long since i yapped about parallax but he's on my mind 24/7 #more rambling in the reblogs btw <3 #shoutout to diana for the phrase “ambiguous authority” i thought it was very concise and eloquent 🫶🏼#hal jordan #dc #*thoughts

HAL RAMBLE HOUR

So I really like horror games, but specifically the story based ones that are less about fighting creatures and more about the environment and, well. The narrative. And I think one of my favorites is Fran Bow.

THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS BELOW

First of all it has a cute cat so that gives it an instant 20 point bonus but Jegus I love all the possible interpretations. I especially love the section with the twins, and the reveal about them being another discarded experiment. The hospital portion in general was probably the bit with the most actual horror but the part in veggieland? (I can't remember what it's called just that it was basically veggietales) There was something about where Fran was rendered immobile, turned into a stick and unable to do anything, I won't lie that freaked me out a bit

Veggieland had pretty peaceful vibes though. I can appreciate that

the funniest thing about the fandom wars that came from the whole hal vs kyle thing is that it's so divorced from their canon interactions i will commend the guys writing it all for not letting the beef actually get in the way of characterization in such a spectacular way that kyle, despite not knowing a single good thing about hal, just goes like. yeah sure he tried to kill me like three times but i am sure he's a good guy deep down!!

meanwhile hal just gives up trying to murder him after the third time because it kinda feels like he's being mean to a fanboy at this point.

#this is a joke post. this is a joke post. do not look at this for green lantern lore wisdom this ain't it #nox rambles.#nox txt.#parallax hal #kyle rayner #you could say they tried so hard and got so far it kinda looped back into being an obvious consequence but i like it anyway
