Zari: Okay, boys, I'll be gone for a few hours for this interview. While I'm out, Gary's in charge.
John: He bloody well isn't-
Zari: Gary's. In. Charge.
Gary: :D
John: D:
John: I'm the one with the trousers in this relationship, and I-
Gary: Who needs The Pants when you have The Socks?
Gary: (pulls up pants leg to reveal knee-high argyle socks)
John:
Zari:
Zari: Hmm.
Zari: Very stylish, and a total Power Move. Gary's definitely in charge. Toodles!

“Master? Master!” Gary’s voice ricocheted down the hall over the sound of his shoes slapping the ground as he launched himself across the decadent foyer and into the overly large dining area of Constantine’s chateau. He stopped abruptly, jerking his head left and right in search of his mentor, before barreling into the kitchen.
John sat at the island with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, eyes on a newspaper in front of him. It’d be a cold day in Hell before John Constantine moved to electronic media to pass the time. As Gary came streaking into view, John’s eyes lazily rose to meet him. The cigarette shifted position as he considered the disheveled man before him.
“Gary, what did we say about running in the house?”
“Sorry, Master-”
“And cut it out with the ‘Master’ stuff, would ya? It’s great when the Legends are here - makes ‘em remember who’s in charge around here - but I’m not your master and you’re not some damned apprentice.”
Gary swallowed hard, his glasses still slightly askew. “Uh, right. Well, I could use a master’s touch about now.”
The warlock sighed. “What did you do?”
Gary cleared his throat and fiddled with his fingers. He was nervous. Embarrassed. It was adorable. “I let loose a shade upstairs. It, uh, brought a friend.”
He was no longer cute.

LET JOHN AND GARY BONE 2020!
Fuck that - Let John and Gary have a stable, visible m/m relationship despite Constantine’s...issues...2020.
Nate: Thanks, man, for helping me save Ray.
Constantine: No problem, mate, just doing what any good teammate would do.
Nate: You know what you did, though?
Constantine: What's that?
Nate: You totally wore a costume. Of me.
Constantine:
Constantine: Sod off.
Constantine: *wearing a period costume* Why do I feel like Laverne?
Nora: Oh, no. I'M Laverne. You're Shirley.
Constantine: I am SO not Shirley.
Nora: Come along, Shirley!
Zari: Someone has to keep the portal open. Keep cycling.
Constantine: Really? You're just going to leave me here?
Zari: Ride with your ass, not your legs.
Constantine: Always do, luv.

Constangreen. "Never met a girl as pretty as you."
(In which Gary is a drag queen and can this please happen on the show?)
“Never met a girl as pretty as you.”
Gary whirled around, but relaxed as soon as he saw John. “What are you doing here? I thought Sara told you to scout the audience.”
“Eh, decided to switch with Rory on watching the backstage,” John replied as he leaned against the wall of the stage. “You’ve been hiding this on me, sunshine. Does Raymond look as good?”
Gary smirked. “He passes. I had to give him a hand. First drag show’s the hardest.”
“Oh, Gary, I sense there’s a story there.”
“Maybe,” he shrugged. “But on stage, it’s Barb. Barb Mitzvah.”

Happy Pride Month!
John Constantine. Honestly, until doing research for pride month, I had no clue he was bisexual. Making his debut in The Saga of Swamp Thing #37 in 1985, it wasnt until 1992 that his bisexuality was even mentioned. While he has shown up in many movies, TV series, and cartoons, most times his bisexuality is erased. Thankfully CW’s Legends Of Tomorrw did mention and even explored his bisexuality in an episode early last year.

Legends Thoughts
Did anyone else feel like there was a big shift between the first half of season 4 and the second half? Did the showrunners get notes?
With John in particular, one of the things I really loved about the first half was how the show really embraced his sexuality as part of his personality, but the second half it felt super dialed back. He stopped flirting with Ray, his relationship with Gary felt kind of awkward and was mostly off screen, he didn’t really pursue anyone else. I dunno. Like last night’s episode it felt like Gary was going to kiss him and it was going to be this cute bookend to last season when John spontaneously kissed Gary but then they just…awkwardly hugged? I get that John has Des angst, but he had Des angst before (it was just a secret) and that didn’t stop his flirty ways?
And it wasn’t just John. Charlie seemed dialed way back, we had some great Avalance domestic moments but way less PDA, there was the big Nate/Zari relationship push… It just felt like one of the fun things in the first half was how much the show seemed to unabashedly let it’s queer characters be sexual beings and the second half felt like someone said “Hey! Tone that shit down!” And…they did?
I dunno. I guess we’ll see where next season goes. Batwoman looks like they going full HAM so…maybe we can get some crossover? Maybe if they free up some show slots post CRISIS we can finally get that Constantine show that is clearly happening in the background? And let John go back to being his aggressively flirty self? *SHRUG*
If you take note of the finale scene of the season, there are no less than 12 people vying for story placements on Legends.
Charlie, Ava, and John suffered the most from this overcrowding, with Nora, Mona, and Gary taking more important roles due to central plot points. I almost wonder why they even bothered asking Maisie back, considering how little Charlie was utilized.
In 4A, things were still being established. John’s flirtatious nature was easier to explore when there weren’t sixteen thousand plot lines flying around.
Basically, 4B had more emphasis on story than relationships - and yes, I consider the Nate/Zari romance integral to the plot going forward, especially into S5. They had to make it front and center in order to build it up naturally from friends to lovers, which took a lot of time and focus.
Season 5 promises to feel more grounded, and Nate and Zari/Behrad will probably be moved to supporting plot line to make way for others. Legends is proving to move like a pendulum of sorts - characters are going to get a lot more focus in shifting amounts because of the large number of people involved. There’s not much to do about that as long as the cast stays the way it is.
Hope this helped.

Nick Zano knows what John Constantine’s about.
Okay, but Hellsteel when?
The Floor is Lava (Legends of Tomorrow)
Called by Nate or Ray
This game is only ever called by Nate or Ray, and only whenever they are in the same room.
If Nate calls it, he leaps into Ray’s arms to be safe, kicking and screaming until they’re on furniture somewhere. If Ray calls it, he leaps into Nate’s.
If Sara feels like playing, there may be some back handsprings onto a chair or table. Or maybe she just sits in an armchair with her legs splayed over one side.
Mick grumbles about how “I’ll give you lava.” If Amaya is around, he’ll climb up onto something, but he won’t be happy about it.
Gary climbs onto the nearest object or person - once, it was Mick. That probably won’t happen again.
Ava doesn’t play along. In public. Sometimes Sara can get her to play when it’s just the two of them.
Amaya wasn’t sure what the point of the game was until she saw Nate and Ray jumping from chair to chair with big grins on their faces as they came to sit next to her. Since, she has jumped up onto whatever she can find with an excited shout.
Zari is the first one up off the floor, no matter where she is. She’s only used her totem to survive maybe twice. Ok, three times.
Constantine takes a swig of whatever he’s got in his hand at the time and mock-cries about how much pain he’s in, then collapses onto the nearest chair, not playing anymore.
Charlie rolls her eyes until she sees Nate and Ray jumping around and having a good time, then usually joins in with some overly loud hoots and hollers.
