Hal Jordan as a character just makes me incredibly sad. He watched his father die in flight jet crash and yet he still wanted to touch the stars and his mother disowned him for it up until her death. His older brother never understood him and his younger brother chased after Hal’s love the same way Hal chased for his father’s love for his entire life. Hal is filled with such love and admiration and adoration for the JLA and Corps and his family and friends that it drips through the page and stains his footsteps and every decision he makes. He’s sick to his stomach with guilt so acidic it dissolves his teeth because he let fear rot him from the inside out and yet he pushes past it because what does his guilt mean in the grand scheme of things? What does his own pain mean in the face of evil when he can be good and push past it and be better and help? Hal is good and is stained forever by what he did and everything he ever does is to make up for it. He’s the man without fear. Fear is his phantom limb. He loves and loves and loves and it’s never enough.

Porn fic that takes fifty thousand words to get to the fucking and it's not even a slow burn, it just takes that much worldbuilding to properly contextualise the author's incredibly specific kink.

if you're writing and find yourself thinking 'this is too weird/gross/offputting/esoteric/ambitious/catered to my specific interests + sure to push away a broader audience' that is the devil speaking and it is a lie. you are already firmly on the right path and you need to double down

People can handle evil characters(for the most part--usually they twist their behavior and water it down) but people really can't handle good characters that lose their head or lose themselves and have a moment of fallen grace. Fandom has shown this time and time again. They really look at them as worse than the initial evil.

i like the phrases "it's not for me," "it's not my thing," and "i'm not the target audience" because they're the most concise way to express "this thing that you enjoy has merits but idgaf about it" without being aggressive

It turns out that actually standing by "men and women are not inherently very different" is a reliable way to bother absolutely everyone. Left or right, cis or trans, feminist or misogynist, all cling to the binary for dear life.
