"That Really Happened?!" DC Comics Tournament Entry #20
So I Married a Protean and No One Told Me
Tumblr media
[ID: A series of comic panels showing Garth and Ayla talking in the woods. Garth is walking with a group of proteans that look like small white bipedal blobs. One of them says, "Garth you are not. A protean you are. Human body. Without protean powers, yes... But with Proty-1 mind. Ever since resurrection..." From behind a bush Ayla exclaims, "What?!"
Garth says, "No! I've been living as Garth for twenty years! And I finally realize the... life I've built... my family... is the only thing that really matters. I can't risk losing them. Not even for Kid Quantum." The proteans ask, "Are sure? Won't come with us?" To which he responds, "I can't I'm sorry." /END ID]
What Happened?
In the Golden and Silver Age, the death of a hero was a big deal. The cycle of cynical events based around the death or return of a beloved character hadn't started yet. So it was rare and shocking when Garth "Lightning Lad" Ranzz, one of the founders of the 30th century Legion of Super-Heroes perished in battle with Zaryan the Conqueror. He stayed dead for about a year (in publishing time) until he was returned to life by the sacrifice of Chameleon Boy's pet, a shapechanging blob named Proty, by transfering its life energy to Lightning Lad's corpse by means of a lightning rod (it's 30th century science, you wouldn't get it). Chameleon Boy would later adopt another Protean pet (named Proty-II, natch) and Garth would return to active service, lose and regain an arm, and marry his sweetheart, Imra "Saturn Girl" Ardeen.
Following the very successful Paul Levitz/Keith Giffen run on the title, the DC launched volume 4 of The Legion of Super-Heroes in 1989, which would become known as the "Five Years Later" run, due to the in-universe time skip between volumes. This run was co-written by Giffen and husband and wife superfans Tom and Mary Bierbaum, who slowly started incorporating fan theories into the run. The series already had to deal with having to fix Legion continuity following Crisis on Infinite Earths, and while some of these retcons were successful (Mon-El replacing Superboy), many were controversial (Shvaughn Erin, who I will also be submitting).
Late in the run, it is revealed that the lightning rod ceremony did revive the body, but not the mind of Lightning Lad. Instead, it transferred Proty's mind into Garth's body, meaning every Lightning Lad story since 1963 had actually been a Proty story! This information is revealed to Garth's sister Ayla (Light/Lightning Lass) but, unless I am forgetting anything, not to his wife Saturn Girl! This, along with other controversial plot developments (like the destruction both the moon and the Earth) would eventually lead to DC rebooting the Legion during the Zero Hour crossover event in the mid-90s.

@mondscheinprinzessin I know you don't listen to JO, but are those ballet moves? Or are they both just doing 💃🕺🩰 something?
Well, the person in white is doing a somewhat good spin, with a bit of trying he could make two rounds in one. Good posture. The one in black...I don't know what he's doing, but now I want to see them couple dance.
The one in white is Kris aka @morbid-things's lesbian wife or something, and I think he'd be very happy to hear you say he has good posture (although I don't understand how you can make two spins in one jump, how high do you have to jump for that or how fast do you have to spin? Anyway I wouldn't be surprised if he said he used to dance as a kid or something). The other one is Jan aka the one seemingly always with his head in the clouds, mit den Gedanken wo anders und in seiner eigenen Welt versunken und so, and somehow it looks like that's what he's doing here too, isn't it? He also has the most beautiful cat, behold, Igor the cat:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
knocking over a phone to be in the spotlight
Tumblr media Tumblr media
sleepy baby <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
frequently used in concert + new song promo
Tumblr media Tumblr media
has his own uquiz and helps with the songwriting process
anyway, I agree, they should do a couple's dance. any specific suggestions? I know you said learning ballet as an adult is very hard to impossible but there has to be something they can do? @ alistair, thoughts on kris & jan couple dancing?

beseda dne: mikica (frotirna majica z dolgimi ali kratkimi rokavi)
etimologija: iz pogovorne nemščine: Nicki, Nickihemd, Nickipullover. Nicki mogoče izpeljano iz imena Nikolaus, ki je pri nas Miklavž - pod vplivom Miklavža torej prehod iz n v m.
glede pomena mikice: hvala vsem, ki ste glasovali! zaenkrat prav nihče, ki je oddal glas, mikice ne razume, kot jo fran, kar bi deskriptivistom lahko pomenilo, da je treba razmisliti o možnosti dodajanja sekundarnega, manj specifičnega, pomena v slovar. fascinantne reči!

25.3.2024
Na internetech koluje fotka cis plavkyně s nápisem: „not a dude“ na plavkách přímo v rozkroku. Je to transfobní protest proti Lie Thomas, protože ten kus masa, co máme mezi nohama přeci zcela určuje naší osobnost. V komentářích pod fotkou to vře, ale velice vtipným způsobem, protože tam transfobící pálí do vlastních řad. 80% si myslí, že jde o trans ženu a tak nešetří urážkami a tvrdě tomu "zmýlenýmu chalpovi" ukazujou, zač je toho loket. Dalších 19% utlačovaných bílých cishet mužů by rádo obdrželo více fotografií intimních partií pokud možno bez plavek a do toho 1% TERFS s hořkým pláčem vykřikuje: „Friendly fire! Friendly fire!!“ Takže asi tolik k "you can always tell".

JO SONGS BATTLE ROYALE - LYRICS EDITION (Round 1 - Summary)
Hi everyone, welcome to the first-round summary! Here are our battles (more info about the next round under the cut)
Battle 1: Gola vs Katrina Winner: Katrina Battle 2: Nisam ti još priznao vs Umazane Misli Winner: Nisam ti još priznao Battle 3: Ne bi Smel vs Carpe Diem - Slovene version Winner: Ne Bi Smel Battle 4: Vem da Greš vs Plastika Winner: Plastika Battle 5: Carpe Diem - English version vs Proti Toku Winner: Proti Toku Battle 6: Demoni vs New wave Winner: Demoni Battle 7: Dopamin vs Padam Winner: Padam Battle 8: Sunny Side of London vs Barve Oceana Winner: Barve Oceana Battle 9: Vse Kar Vem vs Kot Scre, Ki Kri Poganja Winner: Vse Kar Vem Battle 10: Metulji vs Ona Winner: Metulji Battle 11: Everybody's Waiting vs A sem ti povedal Winner: A sem ti povedal Battle 12: Tokio vs Bluza Winner: Bluza Battle 13: Bele Sanje vs Ngvot Winner: Ngvot Battle 14: Šta bih Ja vs Omamljeno Telo Winner: Šta bih Ja Battle 15: Novi Val vs Behind Those Eyes Winner: Novi Val
We have 15 songs participating in the next round, so... we have to save one more song. Since I'll have to do two different polls, I put some data on Excel and I figured the best way to do the next battles will be based on the percentual gap between the winner and the loser of each battle:
Tumblr media
But, instead of trying to put all the strongest songs in one poll and the weaker ones in another, I decided to interchange the songs (one weaker, one strong, one weaker, etc...).
This is our order:
Tumblr media
The winner of each poll will "fight" in another poll to come back for the next round!
Part 16 | Special Round 1

How to be normal about Nace Jordan, a guide by @da-proti-toku-grem:
1. Get home from uni and open tumblr after not checking your phone for almost 5 hours.
2. Open tumblr and immediately gets attacked by this pic.
3. Bite your arm to hold back a scream so your family doesn't think you have completely lost your mind.
4. Stare at the pic for the next 30 minutes with your mouth wide open, blushing aggressively and with your heart beating like crazy.
5. Try to calm down and look away from your phone screen.
6. Turn off your phone screen to force yourself to stop staring.
7. Realize that you have been looking at the pic for so long that you have completely forgotten to like and reblog it and you don't know who posted it.
8. Freak out and rush back to tumblr to search for the pic once again and trying (and failing) to reblog it before getting distracted once again.
9. Realize that it's an impossible mission and you will never be able to be normal about Nace Jordan.
10. Embrace the chaos.
Hope this helps someone out there struggling with the same issue!

Review: Live From Arena Stožice
can you tell i’m on winter break and have nothing better to do?
1) Sunny Side of London
• What can I sayyyyy! we’ve had this live version out for a while now and it’s probably the only JO song that I 100% prefer live. It’s MADE for a live performance, for an audience that will have fun with it and participate. Great opening choice too! 9/10
2) Gola
• Felt much more energetic than the studio version! Gola isn’t my fave but I definitely like it more now that we have this live version! 8/10
3) Bele Sanje
• I think the best part about Bele Sanje are the little nuanced things like the “lalalala” and some of the electronics which I can’t really hear in the live version BUT I can’t complain….I loved it, especially the extended guitar part at the end (which im assuming is Jan lol) and the boys going absolutely CRAZY on backing vocals!
4) Plastika
• THE TRANSITION FROM BELE SANJE TO THIS?!?! HELLO?!?? MY SOUL ASCENDED!!! I can hear all of the electronics and all of the energy! I love that you can obviously tell that Plastika is a fan favorite! Bojan’s emotion in this live version (especially on “ne morem se odločit al se jočem al smejim) just took it to the next level imo. 10/10
5) Proti Toku
•Not much to say about it, I think it’s definitely more fun than the studio version but it just seems quiet to me??? idk?? 8/10 tho, it’s still a banger
6) Dopamin
• THIS!!!! I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOVE THIS!!! I see clips of Dopamine on tiktok or something and it sounds more aggressive than in the studio, and im SOOOOO glad it sounds that way here! It’s such a cute, happy song but it’s so…HARD! Guitars were going CRAAAAAAAAZY, but we could still hear some of the little electronic bits. Byfar some of the best sounds of the album. 20/10
7) Padam
• I cry, I cry every time. Love the audience in this one and Bojan’s voice?!?? angelic. 9/10
8) Demoni
• WE FINALLY HAVE THE DEMONI SCREAM ON STREAMING PLATFORMS! The ONLY thing I think you have been better was just volume, i don’t feel the impact as much in this song as i do in some of the others (which is not the case for the studio albums). Loved how they kind of slightly played around instrumentally with the beginning and the end. All my homies love Demoni. 10/10
9) Katrina
• Ok so…..Katrina is by far my favorite Joker Out song so by default, I think this version is great. There was a lot more tension this go around which, in my mind, fits nicely with the lyrics. HOWEVER…… I think I hyped this up too much in my mind. It was still very very VERY good (and the sheer quality of Jan’s solo was just impeccable, which is what I was hoping for), just missing something that I can’t really put my finger on. 10/10 tho, stream Katrina for clear skin.
10) A sem ti povedal
Ok ok ok hear me out . I am an A sem ti povedal binge streamer, the studio version is what I think musical perfection is. Every time i see a live performance of it, it’s always tweaked in some way, which hurts my little studio-loving heart. I’m not gonna lie and say the trumpet solo was bad or anything, in fact I thought it was quite beautiful, but I don’t think it should have taken the place of the heart-melting intro in the studio version. HOWEVER, I got over that pretty quickly, with the acapella introduction and the buildup into the A-MA-ZING bridge. Personally I think Bojan’s little changes to how sings this one really made a difference, especially since they went ahead and changed like….most of the song anyways. Still, i was transported to another dimension with this one even though I am still a pretty strict A sem ti povedal purist. 9/10
11) Omamljeno telo
Fun, Fun, Fun! One of my favorite JO songs! It almost felt too short! 9/10
12) Kot Srce, Ki Kri Poganja
Martin girlies WYA?!?! EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS WAS PERFECT! from ACTUALLY performing Kot Scre, to releasing it in the album, to the evergy, and ESPECIALLY to having Matic and Martin, who absolutely ATE THIS UP!!! Did anyone else become a Kot Srce, Ki Kri Poganja girlie after this? because I certainly did! 15/10
13) Metulji
• Upon seeing a 6 minute version of Metulji i was very excited. Figuring out that most of it was straight up guitar was definitely something that grew on me after a few listens. One of my favorite things about the studio version of this song is just HOW Bojan sings (it just scratches my brain) and it still does that in this album, and it’s even MORE emotional! Instrumentally, I LOOOOOVED the little tiny changes they made, it really was so beautiful, and also tense, and a little scary! it’s crazy what you can do with sounds. 10/10
14) Vse Kar Vem
•ALSKDSKDKFJ I LOVE THIS SONG!!!! I dont speak Slovene but I FELT EVERY SINGLE WORD!!! Ofc knowing the lyrics helps, and all of that just made me …FEEL! I WAS FEELING FEELINGS! I could feel the audience feeling feelings!!!! What I don’t see talked about enough is how Jure SLAYED that drum break like LORD HAVE MERCYYYYY. 10/10
15) Barve Oceana
• BRAVE Oceana absolutely killed me…but speaking of Jure absolutely eating the girlies up, the drum break in this was just PERFECT. Also I loooooved being able to hear Nace during the first few verses, I never realized the bass part was so fun! AND THE BACKING VOCALS? THE AAAAAAAA’s? PERFECTION! 10/10
mr. maček i love you
16) Ngvot
• KRIS GUŠTIN YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS! ALWAYS! We all knew he could throw down with the songwriting, and it’s just so nice to be able to hear him sing it too! Ngvot is a classic, nothing much to say about this live version! 8.5/10
17) Vem Da Greš
• also another OP fave here and another beautiful transition into this from Ngvot! Also not too much to say about this one other than I felt it wasn’t as impactful as the studio version, like the buildups were just for nothing because the actual hits were lacking power. Also the faint children’s choir-esque sound was throwing me off? I heard it it Metulji too and idk what it is! 8/10
18) Ne Bi Smel
• part 3 of Jure absolutely killing it. Now THIS was powerful! So much energy, especially compared to the already super-fast studio version. Bojan’s voice was definitely one of the highlights (it is in every song, but especially here!)!
19) Ona
• to be honest, i’m not rocking with this jazz band version of it. The sultry sax intro was a great addition, setting up the plot of the song and everything, but this big brass thing throughout the song was not it for me. I think what I love about the studio version is the angry electronic things we hear, and we do hear it here, but it’s almost cancelled out by the brass? idk man, it’s a song about crying your eyes out every night because of a girl and it just wasn’t feeling like that! 7/10, I still love Ona
20) Tokio
• The audience did their part in this one! Another great one, I have no complaints. 10/19
21) Umazane Misli
• God i love this one! I think this had the perfect amount of experimentation in it for the song to sound like itself while also feeling fresh. Personally i would have preferred if there were no mics or instruments on during the part with the girl’s voice and just had the whole audience sing the whole thing, but that’s just a stylistic, nitpicky thing lmao. 9.5/10
22) Novi Val
• I cried, i’m still crying. 15/10
23) Carpe Diem
• Carpe Diem NEVER fails! This was the absolute best song to close out with in EVERY way! It’s fun with a sappy ending that wraps up the album and the show perfectly. I would have sold all of my limbs to be there during that. 20/10

Simple Protection Powder Recipe
Sprinkle this along any doorways, across window sills, and outside directly in front of the main door to the house. While sprinkling recite Psalm 91 : 4 as you do it if you’re not opposed to using Biblical magick. As an alternative you could chant a barbarous mantra I’ve created for this purpose: “Protis horfro froneg demspee”. This is a spinning mantra. Place emphasis on every 2nd syllable and repeat quickly in a steady rhythm.
Recipe:
1 part sugar
1 part plain salt
1/4 part black salt
1/2 part cinnamon
Dash of pepper
Dash of used coffee grounds
Mix together in a designated container. Once mixed pray to St. Cyprian the patron saint of magic and sorcery to bless this mix and enchant it. If you like provide him a simple offering.
Store somewhere appropriate.
Sprinkle it once every full moon.

So I did the statistics according to that post
60 people participated
And with a score of 28 mentions, the "winning" song is... Demoni! (The hell Bojan's scream did to us?/j)
Second most mentioned is Novi Val with 19 mentions. We all feel the lyrics, don't we? (THE ENDING! WHEN THEY ALL SING TOGETHER!)
Next we have Vse Kar Vem (17 mentions), A sem ti povedal and Plastika (14 mentions)
Four songs were mentioned 11 times: Barve Oceana, Umazane Misli, Padam and Katrina
And four songs as well were mentioned 7 times: Dopamin, Bele Sanje, Ona and Carpe Diem
The one with least mentions is Kupid, which somehow ended here with 1 mention. Next is Ne Bi Smel, with only 3 mentions (damn, I love this song) and NGVOT with 4 mentions (Kris would've been proud XD)
The rest looks like this: Tokio, Omamljeno telo and Metulij 5, Proti toku 8, Vem da greš and Gola 6,
Yet again I'll say that I'm glad that Carpe Diem didn't "win". I love the song, it has such a happy vibe, but I love the fact that we stayed with those artists for their whole discography, not only Eurovision bangers. And your thoughts?
