The Justice League Queer. We formed when Eclipso attacked a Pride Parade.

I suppose our group isn’t an official team. But we do occasionally get together and support each other. And we team up to defend each other.

We are actually called the JLQ. But my husband thinks the name could use some work

“If a corpse could wheeze? I believe that’s quite common for the undead.”

“If you’re a wizard and you don’t know any spells to dry yourself, then you should hit the books again.

You’d be shocked how early hygiene is addressed in spell books.”

“Ah is that young Ivette?”

he waved at @themightyjaguar.bsky.social

“¡Quiero hablar contigo!”

#LenasWinterGala

“It’s the most wonderful time of the year!”

he casts a spell that causes his glass to be refilled by itself

“I keep myself regular”

“Very well. I eat a lot of fibre.”

“Because I am free to choose to be.”

“I always encourage the pursuit of knowledge. What may seem like a pointless question from one person’s perspective may be genuine for another.”

“There is no such thing as a pointless question”

“My point being, please do not go to Hell for the intention of having a good time. You will not have a good time.”

“As much as a Princess of Hell may try to tell you, as well meaning as she may be, Hell is still Hell. Even if there is a good hotel there for you to get better and try to redeem yourself…it is still Hell. It is not a broadway musical.”

“I’m always around. When I am needed. Or when my child isn’t being a handful.”

“I like to spread the holiday cheer. And the holiday queer.”

“Please do not warm up the sodas.”

“And for the last time, I am not Doctor Strange. Stop sending me his mail.”

“Thanksgiving is coming up soon. If you celebrate and wish to have a nice meal, I am always willing to conjure up a plate.

And the doors to The Sacrarium are always open”

Pondering my crystal skull

“On occasion, yes. They can help focus one’s magic. They aren’t necessary, but then again, there are days where one is just…tired.”

“My husband and I spend many hours pondering our orbs”

“Ah yes. His limo. I’ve seen it at his LA nightclub.”

“I suppose you could. Although my guess is, it wouldn’t be as precise. Or it would be messier.

For example, Hell. One does not simply walk through the gates.

And some worlds operate by very different rules of their own. Rules where your talents won’t work.”

“There are many worlds out there only accessible through mysticism. I’ve visited a few. Most of them are friendly.”

“Oh I trust you. It’s just your methods tend to be a little messier than others. But I won’t deny your effectiveness.

Regardless, I do fear one day you may get a bite to to the ass. And no John. Not the fun kind.”

“Again, John?”

he sighs

“Sometimes you worry me.”

“As I said. Depends. I don’t know the vampires involved. Aren’t you supposed to be the child of the master detective?”

“Count Berlin. Temporal blood magic. The bones of the lover of Achilles.

…In the end, he failed.”

“He planned on using the bones and the magic to change him and Achilles into cousins rather than lovers.

…But as you said. It was not a well thought out plan.”

“The kind of vampires. To source of blood. And the skill of the vampire, of course.

They may be bloodthirsty, but not all vampires are monsters. Unfortunately, many of them are. So as I stated. It depends.”
