Going to go on a massive ramble about the absolutely wild dynamic with the Welsh OCs.
It's not very difficult to discern why Jones and Nite are attracted to each other. Nite sees someone who clearly enjoys spending time with him, pays him attention, seems to care about what he's interested in, or at least hearing about it. Moreover, he's a source of stability, a rock where the rest of his life feels like a wild current. He seems to have answers, in a situation where Nite seems to have so few, willing to teach him a language he only half remembers, tell him about a place he has no memories of. Jones, on the other hand admires how passionate Nite is about things. That he'll take a bet out of the blue, or try something completely new just to see what happens. It reminds him of the idealism he once had, back when he wasn't afraid to take risks, before prison had beaten him down. He's a spark in a cave, and that light is infectious, making Jones feel things he hasn't in years.
Nite and Roberts are fundamentally the same person, albeit with a lot of the context missing from the former. Which makes it wild to me how much Roberts and Jones would absolutely hate each other.
Jones came from a middle class merchant family, primarily exporting coal and minerals to England in one of the most populous locations in Wales. He was educated (and radicalised) in England. The fact that he sounds Welsh was a conscious and deliberate decision. His interest in politics, in changing the structures in which they live made him something of the black sheep of his family. Why are they sending all of their resources in one direction? Why are they still following policy set by London, when London's sunken into the earth? Such discussions never got him much further than a handful of heated debates after dinner with his brothers, but as the youngest son he was hardly in a position to affect the family business, so it was mostly overlooked. Nobody in his family knew quite how serious he was until the riot, where he was tried for sedition, and they cast him into the wind without a second thought.
Roberts, on the other hand, grew up working class in a village where the only industry was the mines. Its inhabitants were mostly homogeneous, save for the English managers. Unlike Jones' belief that the system can and should be changed, Roberts only saw an out in joining that seemingly-unchangeable system and trying to get the best life he's able. When his father died prematurely of a respiratory infection from the work in the mines, Roberts could only see a dark and bleak future ahead of him, and ran.
Of course the two of them would fight. From Roberts’ perspective, he had no future and no choice without abandoning everything Welsh about himself. He’d always be seen as a second class citizen, particularly because of his working class background in a village whose only jobs promise an early and miserable death. Meanwhile Jones had money. In fact, he got his money by taking those resources that people like Roberts’ father died extracting and shipping it to England. And Jones can go and put on an accent and act like he’s a patriot, but to Roberts he’ll never experience the actual consequences of that discrimination. He's shielded by his money and class.
Meanwhile, Jones sees a man who would abandon everything, including his own family in their moment of greatest need, who would contort and mutilate himself to fit into the standards that would grant him the most personal power (until the moment it no longer does), who would lick the boots of the very people Jones had once destroyed his entire life fighting.
What I'm saying is that the second anything about Jones not knowing what actual consequences are comes out of Roberts' mouth he's getting a fist to the face, and this will devolve into an all out brawl.

All-Star Squadron #7
Warning, Spoilers Ahead…
“Carnage For Christmas” by Roy Thomas, Adrian Gonzales, and Jerry Ordway.
The December 22, 1941 edition of the Washington World’s headline states “JSA Disbands”, “Decision Rumored Since Dec. 9 Confirmed”, and “Statement Reveals Eight Current Members Have Enlisted In Armed Services Under Real Names!”
Private Al Pratt (Atom) strolls the streets of Washington DC and bumps into a giant of a man.  Al goes his own way as we follow the giant.  The giant’s revealed to be Baron Blitzkrieg. The Baron and his henchmen plan to assassinate Winston Churchill, scheduled to visit the United States, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Blitzkrieg first debuted in World’s Finest Comics #246, published in 1977.
Al is suspicious of the rude foreigner but puts them aside as he doesn’t want to be like “the paranoids who’re finding Axis spies under every bed, since Pearl Harbor”.
Al, now dressed in his Atom costume, visits FDR at the White House.  FDR asks about the other members of the Justice Society. 
“I’m in training to be a tank-corpsman myself, stationed in Virginia but then, you already know that, don’t you, or else Pvt. Al Pratt wouldn’t have gotten a special leave to report here tonight.  Hawkman’s a Tyro – a ‘Dodo” I think they call ‘em in the Army Air Force on the west coast while Sandman’s looking forward to handling the 37-mm. anti-aircraft cannon. And Dr. Fate, who’s spanned the gaps between the worlds, will soon be practicing to be a parachute trooper. Though he���s technically blind…in a way…Dr. Mid-Nite’s alter ego has been commissioned a captain in the medical corps. He and his assistant Myra are in the Pacific war zone right not, working on a crash cure for tropical fever.  Starman’s other self is in flight training, too…at Fort Randolph, near San Antonio, while Johnny Thunder’s joined the Navy, heaven help it!  The Spectre’s keeping busy here at home but the last I heard, even Green Lantern had enlisted!  I’m not sure about our other honorary JSA’ers…”
Props to Myra for following Dr. Mid-Nite into the war.  That is love and loyalty.  If you’ve read Geoff John’s JSA, you know that poor Myra suffers a violent end. Yes, it’s due to her association with Dr. Mid-Nite.  People theorize that Charles was gay and if so, I feel sorry for Myra.  Charles would have loved her but not in the romantic sense. I feel Myra would have been willing to be his “beard” in the less enlightened times of the mid-20th century.  It’s surprising the duo never married – as romantic partners or platonic partners.  Neither Charles or Myra married anyone else.  Of course, Wesley Dodds and Dian Belmont never married.  The Justice Society was filled with individuals rebelling against society’s expectations!
The Flash and Hourman are the members of the JSA not mentioned by the Atom. Unbeknown to the JSA or the Squadron, Hourman is a prisoner of war in Japan but the Flash’s whereabouts are a mystery.
The honorary members are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, possibly Robin?  Ma Hunkel, the original Red Tornado, was later revealed to be an honorary member.
Ma Hunkel wouldn’t have been active.  I haven’t read much Golden Age Wonder Woman but I assume Diana was involved with the U.S. army in some capacity given her connection to Steve Trevor and Etta Candy.
Superman wouldn’t join the military as he needs to stay far away from the Spear of Destiny’s influence.
Robin is underage so he wouldn’t be eligible for the military.  Batman is a surprise.  The rest of the non-superhuman members joined the various military branches but Bruce decided staying home and punching robbers in the face was more important. Maybe he felt he was needed at home to run Wayne Enterprises?  Of course, Green Lantern runs his own company, and it didn’t stop him from enlisting.
FDR ushers the Atom into the next room where Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, Johnny Quick, Robotman, Firebrand II and the Shining Knight are waiting.
Atom questions FDR: “But what about Plastic Man?  If it’s old home week, shouldn’t our FBI liaison be here?”
FDR informs the Atom that Plastic Man is “on special assignment, alas…but he sends his regards.”
FDR tells the heroes about a suspected plot to assassinate Winston Churchill.  FRD orders the heroes to escort Churchill to the White House.
Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, and Sir Justin patrol the sky.  Liberty hitches a ride on Winged Victory.  Hawkgirl complains about the cold.  Well, you are the one wearing a bikini top in December.
Firebrand and Johnny Quick patrol the roads.  Johnny reveals he’s bought a Christmas gift for Liberty Belle.
Robotman and the Atom are at the piers waiting for Churchill’s ship.  Robotman and Atom continue their mutual admiration-inferiority contest. Atom wishes he was built like a tank and Robotman would love to be human.
The ship arrives at the pier but is bombarded by German torpedos.  The All-Stars work together to save the ship and crew.  They also capture the German U-boat.  Baron Blitzkrieg switches out the real Churchill with a robot duplicate during the chaos.
Liberty Belle realizes Churchill isn’t the real one when he doesn’t recognize her despite meeting her months ago.  Churchill approaches FDR and explodes!  Everything’s okay as FDR was Plastic Man in disguise: “The FBI – and the Secret Service, natch – were afraid something like this might happen so I took his place.”
The All-Stars rescue Churchill but Baron Blitzkrieg escapes.
The issue ends with Churchill and FDR addressing the crowds on Christmas Eve.
An average issue. Most Nazi comic book villains are boring and one-dimensional to me – Red Skull, Baron Blitzkrieg, etc. In real life, Nazis are terrifying and repulsive. In comics, they’re boring. Highlights of the issue were the Libby-Johnny romance and the Atom-Robotman mutual inferiority-admiration society.

Do you know what listening to The Village People for two days straight does to the human psyche? Don’t worry about it, come to Grand Geode. Nothing bad will happen to you.
Thank you to @capn-twitchery, @half-life-citizen, @calamity-calliope, and @zeebreezin for letting me put your blorbos into situations (and all the support bringing this shitpost into reality).

B proceeded to lose 6 games of billiards consecutively and got absolutely nothing out of it otherwise. RIP. Otherwise mostly just practice, I’m still getting used to painting clothes.
Answers to the picture cameos below the cut! Feel free to guess >:)
Mirror - Within the mirror shine is the Merry Gentleman’s initial card design! Shaw will never get a single good night as long as I draw breath.
Landscape painting - Literally just a thumbnail of a painting I wanna do of Mt. Palmerston.
Round Painting #1 - a very very tiny Lt. Grace ( from @capn-twitchery ) gets to watch the northern lights during The Arctic Bad Times
Ovals 1 & 2 on each side of the Mirror - The Curiously Paired Paintings of Lt. Roberts and Mister Nite ( from @viric-dreams )
Round Painting #2 - Literally just the vibes @thedeafprophet ‘s Jamie has in my mind. There’s nothing else up with this one.

🏺 for any of my OCs, if you don't mind. (This is such a cool concept and I'm trying to figure out how the music and emojis tie in with the characters)
Power of the Sun by Charming Disaster for Roberts/Nite!

the sun/darkness imagery is perfect for them, and the chorus literally repeats “what have we done” over and over.

hello! 24, F here looking to do fandom roleplays. no minors allowed. 18+ only! i am an advanced literate to novella literate writer who can write up to ten paragraphs at a time if we're deeply immersed in plot. that being said, i work a full time job and i'm there most days of the week. at work my responses and response times may be limited, just bear with me! i also may only give two to three paragraphs while i am working, please do not pressure me for more. if i don't get back to you within three days, please feel free to send me a message, just do not spam me all the time, that will only result in me getting frustrated and not wanting to write anymore.
all of that being said, let me get into what i am after! so when doing fandom roleplays, i will ONLY do double ups! this way it is fair on both ends. i prefer to do oc x canon for my side of things but i am not opposed to doing canon x canon for your end if you want it. i also love to talk and try to make friends outside of roleplay! i enjoy chatting about our characters and ships. i make headcanons and will go on and on all day about our writes if you'll let me. I also want to offer the warning that i cannot write a slowburn to save my life. i get far too impatient and it sometimes offsets the mood. I adore hurt/comfort, angst, romance and fluff. i am also totally fine with NSFW! darker themes are also alright, but talk things over with me first!
please please please no text talk in the writing. be punctual and use proper grammar when we are writing. no use of “u, urs, tho, nite,” or any variety when we are roleplaying. that will make me want to quit writing with you. other than that i promise i am not intimidating! my fandom list will be below. DISCORD ONLY!
Lord of the Rings/The Hobbit
Twilight (seeking edward cullen)
Harry Potter (golden or marauders)
DC (seeking robert pattison’s batman)
