ok but what do you think of demiromantic hal?? someone mentioned that he's aro coded and it's something I didn't knew but needed it 😭

As someone who is on the ace spectrum (demiromantic and asexual), I really like when people write about some of my favorite characters having the same sexualities as me.

I do headcanon him as demiromantic, and also pansexual.

(Down below is me explaining him being demiromantic when it comes to his feelings and also Barry + Carol...)

HOWEVER, he is... as Ollie says a space tomcat, he takes on emotions much more seriously in my hc. He can do whatever, but when it comes to how he feels romantically it became a lot harder for him to express himself romantically too. <- Trouble with love genuinely but with trying to tell people anything related with love has been a topic for him. Which is also an explaination of the acts that he does for the people he cares about because it REPLACES him trying to explain his feelngs. When you think about it, the way Hal shows his love towards people or showing that he cares comes into a lot of wild acts or making sure that he'll come to the ends of the Earth when it comes to someone. (Like in your post, which I forgot to reblog and add to it :3, in DC vs Vampires, how Hal wanted to rule the world with Barry....) ------ Unrelated but related-- While yes, he does save people, Hal is deepened through emotional bonds both platonically and romantically... (I like to take this literal, as a form of being bonded by lantern ring emotion such as Carol with holding to Star Sapphire and Barry with being expressed by HAL to hold the mantle of hope, because it took years with these two for Hal to be linked with them in some type of way -> Sorry, I'm kinda normal about the bond Carol and Hal have, there's many levels of a relationship that these two have -- Including Barry and Hal together. There's a lot of things to talk about these two.)

This first occurs with Carol. As they grew older (Teen years to Adulthood <- Before JL), it gave Hal time of falling for her. Whether it was those long talks out on drives or opening up to each other about the deeper things. Plus, bringing in the things they face together and the collaborations these two agree on or disagree or OVERALL the way they communicate through different forms when it came to both in suit and out of suit. One of my thoughts for my Demiromantic Hal hc. Not only this but they also have a deep connection together later when it comes the Star Sapphire Possessions + Hal being Reborn in Spectre while Carol has presumably moved on. Although it took a bit to figure himself out, he both cares and loves Carol in impossible ways that could be explained. Which leads me to the next case...

(I had to ramble about them... They are like the best friends ever + including Barry and Iris when they come along.)

Sharing to add on for your post... But this is ALSO an idea I've been having for a fic... But I don't have time to write it ALL because I want to make it to many chapters. Be Prepared because I like when you mention HalBarry to me, I get happy because I don't talk about it to people. I also love to hear HalBarry thoughts because I project things that people don't get much like what I'm about to write..

The way Hal feels when it comes to being in love, is partially dumbfounded, it's something that sets him back when he realizes that there's an elephant in the room. One he describes as longing in a way where he didn't know he felt this fast. When in reality it has been years since this friendship. Yes, feelings for one of his best friends. One that he's been friends with since the beginning of the Justice League formation. Which was long... His hair is grey and the smile that was once without wrinkles now forms lines whenever he smiles or laughs.. In his mind, it feels that the feelings that are coming into play feel dangerous. How it makes his palms sweat just being near Barry. How when he isn't being occupied by anything busy, he's thinking about a fond memory with Barry. How Barry makes him smile, the way everything about his friend just makes him giddy like some teenage puppy love. Something he never got to experience but god, when he's with Barry, he feels so young. That even imagining them growing old together is just one step to keeping Hal feeling so young. It's like being awkward when you have no idea where to put your hands. Especially with a friend you've had for many years. A friend who's been there by his side that Hal now begins to think an eye for god knows how many minutes. The friendship teasing between the two and the playful chases that they would take on those evenings when everything just seemed perfect. How standing on that cliff when they were younger, the intimacy of the stare they held. Their deep connection that brings Hal to appreciate every moment he's had with him. How they're practically linked in color. How hope filled the willpower that settled in his personality. That when it came to Barry, it felt like he might have something to lose. Something and someone he's lost before. He knows what it felt to lose Barry. Which one proved his love for Barry to be a lot stronger than what he first thought when it came to the last glimpse of friendship. How that bond turned into a strong form for what Hal should keep fighting for. It was so unexpected. So unexpected to be in love with your best friend.

#THANK YOU FOR THE ASK UHMM #I LOVE DEMIROMANTIC HAL I THINK ITS MY FAVORITE EVER :(( he is so relatable I get him #also don't mind me going insane on the halbarry part...#guys he is so distance by christina perri coded...#i was listening to the halbarry playlist do you get me #UGHHH I COULD GO ON FOREVER BUT IM SEEING LINES ON MY COMPUTER #hope you enjoy this because I so need to write more to the ending #thats like a summary for this #barry fell first but god hal fell harder for him #hal jordan #barry allen #halbarry #and a bit of halcarol in here guys #speedster ramble #if we ever collab cessmaga tthis this #we need to make them halbarry real #i mean it is in one universe but maybe another guys do you get me #I LOVE HAL JORDAN #i would like to say the way hal shows love is really special to me like he cares for people no other

Giving theme songs to a bunch of Hal ships because I can and I’m in the mood but I try to keep it short.

(they all can be read as platonic too if you love gen content as much as me)

Hal x Carol - If I Can’t Have You (og by Shawn Mendes but I’m talking very specifically about the Skylar Astin cover he did on the show, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist. It’s because the angst of not being able to be on the right time with each other comes through on that. Also because I find it more pure and more meaningful than the original version.)

Hal x Barry - Cotton Candy Skies (by Esthie. It’s a pretty short song but the repetetiveness is meaningful. It’s kind of sad for a Halbarry song, but listen to it and tell me it’s not the euphoria they feel when they’re with each other and how their superhero business keeps them apart just as much as it brings them together.)

Hal x Bruce - Michelangelo (by Alberto Rosende, performed in the TV show ‘Shadowhunters’. One thing I’ve noticed a LOT in halbruce stuff is colours, and I really think this song captures the sort of secret world these two make with each other, away from the public and everyone else. Also it has angst but somehow makes you feel high in a good way!)

Hal x Ollie - Skyway Avenue (by We The Kings. I don’t think people would think of this song as particularly matching but I really feel it fits. It has a little aspect of challenging each other and pushing each other to be better which really encapsulates Hal and Ollie especially because they come from such different backgrounds. But the song also details the joy they feel at seeing each other, how hyped they get, how they just want to run with each other till their feet get too tired to even walk. They’re both really impulsive together too.)

Hal x Diana - She’s So High (by Tal Bachman. Okay, this is kind of a one-sided perspective song but it still counts. Hal always feels like Diana can do better than him but she still keeps reaching out to him and she keeps taking the first step and he just can’t even believe it’s happening.)

Hal x Clark - Middle of Somewhere (by The Neighbourhood. This is so them, I can’t. They don’t even know how they connected, because somehow the strings of their lives just wove together and now they’re here with each other and both are thinking ‘oh, this maybe isn’t so bad’. They’re in their own galaxy but it doesn’t even matter, because all they can see is each other for the first time and the setting is only stars everywhere because they're starting to understand each other’s figurative solar systems.)

Hal x John - Hold Back The River (by James Bay. They’re so often caught up in action because of their jobs, but it helps them understand each other and they truly see each other. Those tiny moments really make them want to take a step back and just gaze at each other for a little while, and even though they may go a long time without talking, they’ll always hold a place for each other because in the end, they find their way back.)

Hal x Guy - Rock Me (by One Direction (it’s their best song btw). Not only does this song have the fiery energy they have together, but it also shows the ups and downs of their interactions. How they’ve had all these moments in the past, and they really miss those and regret things they’ve said/felt about each other in the adrenaline of some particularly angsty moments. They found each other as a temporary safe space but they maybe feel like it shouldn’t be temporary.)

Hal x Jess Cruz (is this a thing?) - Dancing Shoes (by The Score. They just never thought that they could fit together because they thought each other’s values were too different. But there was something there and they wanted to try it at least, and it wasn’t easy, they hurt each other a lot accidentally at first, but they persevered because that’s how much they care about each other.)

Hal x Sinestro (for yokes lol) - Bob Dylan (by Fall Out Boy. Idk it’s just very funny to think of this song as embodying them because at the end, the essence of them is just obsession and attention,)
