What a sight to wake up to

As much as what can be inferred about a fictional culture while also understanding that human influence will be projected. We can take a guess for the association of at least 4 colours.

Green, white, red, and yellow. These being the colours of martians that have popped up in dc comics.

Green is obviously a well known being the colour of the main and most well known Martian. I imagine green still holds the symbolism life and prosperity as it does in a lot of earth culture

White however is not looked up in a positive sense due to the destruction the white martians. It likely doesn’t have any of the positive connotations that it does on earth ie purity, cleanliness, light, but it def has the negative connotations that earth has about “white” and “whiteness” (I say as a white person, we highkey suck)

Yellow as martians have one notable characteristic in which they tried to invade earth, otherwise there’s not much to infer.

Red being the colour of the entire planet definitely has similar symbolism to what earth has to green and blue. That being it’s common and in abundance, it may have symbolized prosperity as well before the war and disease wiped out a lot martian kind.

Then as for other colours

Orange is the most common colour of fire so I think itd be the colour rooted in fear and aversion

Blue is a rare colour for martians to find in nature, hence why it makes up a lot of Mmh suit. Also the Martian sunset appears blue (this is actual real life fact btw) so it my also be associated with renewal

Indigo likely has similar connotations that blue has if it’s a shade close to blue rather than red that is.

Violet is barely a colour on earth, humans fill in the gaps of light and boom purple. It is fully possible that the Martian comprehend violet light in a way humans can’t.

Black would be whites opposite, as it is on earth, but take on the positive connotations to whites negative connotations. It would be associated with calm and curiosity.

Hey, hey, I have a question, DC lore knowers

Do you have any canon material/headcanons about color associations in Martian culture? If not, would you like to treat this post as a long discussion to figure it out?

I got a sudden urge to know it and I don't feel like I know enough about the Martian culture in general to make it up. Plus, I have only my European perspective to aid me and I know it varies between cultures on Earth alone so it probably be better if more people worked on it.

But, you know. I think this topic has potential to be fascinating.

Rise fans, reblog this and put in the tags what position you are in your family (oldest, middle, youngest, only child) and who your favorite turtle is. I'm curious if there's a trend.

as a society, we should think about this movie more

IM LATE BUT I LIVE.

mARTch 2022, days 7 and 12 since I'm doing the slow version but Messed Up By A Day 💀

LoVED the voted for option of Hardcase in a popcolor style and OUGH how it hurt my brain to do that funky pose???

And I saw monochrome and went FERAL because I HAD to draw Fox?? Was originally gonna be a portrait but You Know Me and I Can't Do That. 😭🤣 So instead, enjoy Sith!Fox after having un-alived our dear friend Palpatine. 😈

Bloody version under the cut!

absolutely obsessed with the fact that tsukki works in a museum + is still in university post timeskip because it highly indicates that he absolutely will end up living a double life. personally I am of the persuasian that tsukki goes on to get a masters / eventual doctorate in history (and/or an adjacent field, like archeology, paleontology, anthropology, you get the vibes)

but like I imagine the fucking Sendai Frogs (or any of his volleyball friends) dont exactly enjoy chatting about 9th century kings or 12th century architecture so it just never comes up. except for when tsukki tells them he's going to be missing practice because he's flying to China to a few small villages with local churches and temples to study old medical records and put together a timeline of the opiod wars in less documented places and the rest of the Frogs are just like !!!!!!!!!!! you're doing what now????? and he's just like yeah its a government grant :/ but it'll be nice to get published in this journal and then all of his teammates go home and google him and find the half dozen articles he's published that high school students are citing in their research papers

but then when he's working in the archives and reading through old newspapers a coworker of his comes down and is like "hey kei would you be able to fill in for a docent that called in sick tomorrow? we just need someone to lead a few tours" and tsukki is like "sorry, I booked that time off. the d2 volleyball league starts tomorrow." and the coworker is just like. what?

managed to defeat art block once more

Beside is actual wife this is who he’s had a relationship with thus far.

In comics:

Fire (Beatriz da Costa), Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), Scorch (Aubrey Sparks), and (possibly?) Black Canary (Dinah Lance).

All of these have been short term so far. Fire and Scorch I believe have been mostly physical relationships and MM has been using it to try overcome his fear of fire.

In shows/movies:

Rose Wilson (alt universe), an unnamed human wife (jl unlimited).

As far as non-canon ships go I haven’t seen much.

so i can probably google this but does J'onn - Martian Manhunter - have any love interests? Like I usually write/read him as aro ace but like is there anyone he is shipped with in and out of canon? Doesn't matter if they are human or not, I just want to know

I kinda have the hc that the only regs the Bad Batch tolerate/like are the Coruscant Guards.

Even though they are very different in how they function (must follow the rules ALL THE TIME vs "what are rules? lmao")

They have bonded over the shared differences from the rest of the GAR (no Jedi general, too different from the rest of the clones but too clone-y¿? to be accepted by the nat borns, etc.)

IDK I just think they could get along in the most unexpected way.
