Potential trolling purposes? She did get him pretty good on the "tiny mask" thing, so it's not too OOC for this version of her.

Or to save some time, punch himself in the dick two or three times, then call it a day.
Dating sites are not really recommended. As my family jokes "They (Uncle and his now ex wife) clicked, the mothers didn't."

There's the Red Lantern skeletal-bat-lady. Sure, the Red Lanterns don't exist yet, but I'm sure that can be worked around via time travel.

Skeletal-bat-lady? You mean Bleez??
*shrug* She works too, though I think he'd be better with someone a bit saner.
edit: Wait, where was it said Reds don't exist yet? Link please?
But, but, Starfire needs her Dick!
:lol

I dunno, the Star Sapphires are creepier than the Sinestro Corp, the Sinestro corp select on the ability to be a breath-takingly huge asshole at all times, Larfleeze is out, and the Indigo Corps probably doesn't allow conjugal visits...
A Blue lantern is a possibility, but they tend to be ultra busy as the whole 'living saint' thing is in demand
And female Green lanterns have the life expectancy of happy relationships near Joss Whedon...
Not a very fertile field alas...

Hm, true, but there is always a possibility that some of them aren't like that. Just because majority of a certain group is a certain way, doesn't mean all members of a group are.

If I had to guess, Zoat probably hadn't decided Diana needed the ability to do that yet at that point in his story.

Because he was telling the truth about have finished his primary education, and she made assumptions about why someone with his appearance would lie about his age in that situation.
And lets face it, people lie about their age all the time for various reasons; by now she's used to it. With her dislike of lying no doubt she finds it irritating, but if she made a big deal of every minor lie people tell she'd get nothing done.
And yes; she probably assumed that he was lying about being older, adding a few years.

Therefore, Paul/Arisia. She lies about her age too. The fact that this would require him to cockblock Hal is just bonus points.

Poor Hal.

No, replacing Paul/Zatanna creepiness with Paul/Arisa creepiness is not an improvement, and is just as likely to bring down the wrath of the mods. Let's not go there.
OK, just finished reading all the new chapters here in SV.
So far so brilliant. Take your time but keep up the good work, Mr Zoat
Now the following is mainly addressed to Blight, but I think everyone should be clear about such things too in the future:
@Blight :
Let's get some things straight.
Do you really not understand why OL lied about his age? Or do you simply disapprove of lying about one's age even if it's for the reasons that OL had?
Do you really think Mr Zoat should have written this differently? Or are you simply saying that if you were in OL's position, you would have chosen to act differently?
Another suggestion:
An important part of understanding why Worm (or any work) is so popular as a story, is to go read it,
just as I'm sure you'd agree that an important part of understanding why so many people are devoted to the Catholic faith, is to go read the Bible (and perhaps get involved in Catholic activities).
Once again, understanding need not entail approval.
...
Regarding OL's motivation for his recent attempts at flirting:
No, he's not really out for sex. Otherwise, he could have simply said, "Remember that threesome thing? Let's do it !" to Karen & Holly.
For that matter, he doesn't actually have a strong personal motivation to get a girlfriend.
After having read the new chapters practically back-to-back,
the impression I get is this:
OL sees signs that his previous obliviousness/non-chalance/ignorance etc about romance was making him incomplete in terms of personal development,
so he figured, "why don't I give this a try now?"
I can relate because I've had a similar kind of experience.
And frankly speaking, even as someone who tends to gets annoyed at romantic scenes,
I don't find OL's recent attempts at flirting annoying at all (in terms of plot flow), because they are just that : brief attempts at flirting.
They stand out only because up till recently, Paragon OL had practically never flirted for real before.
I believe the real reason some people are annoyed with the "ship teasing" is NOT that there's "too much" of it,
but rather another angle: OL's flirting is so weak it doesn't seem worth it.
He's being overly rational and cautious about it at this moment,
but that's precisely how Mr Zoat wants to portray OL.
Since the scenes have achieved what Mr Zoat set them out to achieve,
I would not call them examples of poor writing or plot flow.
(once again, this is a different issue from whether I think OL is doing things right.)

Yes, he's very "analytical", to use his own term for it. I recall how he was while fighting that mob guy:
Even in a fight he's analyzing things and picking them apart. Good for creative power ring use, not so good for fistfights and romance.
OK, I don't know much about Arisia's backstory.
Does she pretend to be younger or older than her actual age?

Yes to all of these things. I don't understand the reason in-universe, I disapprove of it, I think Mr. Zoat's story would have been better if he had told them the truth earlier on, and I would told the truth from the beginning if I was in OL's place. Then again, I would do just about anything to get back home if I were in OL's place. So no story there.
But this conversation is done already. Everyone has already decided that I am some horrible person who should stop going onto this website.

The Arissa events are something I got told as a 'reason DC is creepy' rant example so accept that this may be biased.
She becomes a lantern young, like, teen titans young. Works well with the other lanterns, and eventually falls for Hal, he's pretty uncomfortable with it, everyone else thinks it's cute, but trust Hal not to be an asshole. Eventually he sits her down and explains that in his mind and culture the age gap is too extreme, and it can't happen. Super awkward.
She wills herself into her physical maturity subconciously; because therapists for flying godmode police with thought controlled WMD's were deemed unneeded apparently.
Hal bangs her, because by "You're too young" he apparently meant, "no titties is a dealbreaker." Everyone else is oddly ok with this. Or GL's have just maxed out the weird shit filter after a while...

I can sort of understand this for most members of the GL Corp. They are aliens after all, human social norms mean nothing to them. Why the DC writers wrote it and thought "Yes, this is a good idea." is rather more questionable.
I thought the writers retconned it so she actually was Hal's age but her species lives longer and physically matures slower or something?
No idea, I just looked her up.
It's already mentioned in the story and many times by people trying to explain it to you: he wants to stay with the Team.
All you need to do is read it. No complex reasoning required.
not a big deal. I've not seen you aggressively complain about the other decisions that the characters in this fanfic have made, some even more cringe-worthy (morally and also in terms of plot) than OL not telling his actual age.
for e.g., Renegade Paul continuing to impersonate a New God, even in front of his friends. Is that really necessary?
character flaws are just that: character flaws
in what way? and what can Mr Zoat do to improve?
if you don't want to be eventually seen as "some horrible person who should stop going into this website", that's the way.
Make your criticism constructive.
Huh, good point.
Why did you read past the first few chapters in the first place, if it's not a premise that you find meaningful?
Have you even read most of the chapters?
Actually, noone's really said that. At most, it's been said that you're "likely a troll".
Be glad that this is SV, where civility does matter.
On the other hand, maybe taking a break from online forums in general for a while is a good idea as well.

Yes. He doesn't dare let the facade slip, since his acknowledgement as the son of Darkseid is what keeps Apokolips off Earth. He made that point once to them as a hypothetical, that "even if" he wasn't the real Grayven, it was best for everyone to go along with the ruse the sake of Earth.
EDIT: Actually, it's the same problem that OL is having on a grander scale; they both lied for what seemed like good reasons at the time, and are now invested in keeping up the facade despite any problems it poses them.
