John Constantine was made to represent the common man. However he was later stripped of said humanity because comic writers couldn’t handle relating to a bi, mentally ill, homeless British guy.

I think a reason why many Hellblazer fans relate to John is because he IS them. Some Bloke who struggles. Who represents the average working class man. Friends struggling with addiction that consumes him like a monster. Ghost of past relationships that eats away at him and ruin his interpersonal relationship. Stigmatised mental health that makes it impossible for him to keep a job (an essay I am almost down btw) he’s so funny or relatable in a horror situation because he just wants to survive. A base urge all humanity can relate to. When he sees a monster he doesn’t go to slay it out of some heroism. He goes “fuck no” and sods off.

But.

Noticeably later writers chose to remove aspects about him that made him relatable. Kind. Like his love. Such a core feature of him removed and replaced with this overly cynical view of the world. I don’t think this was done out of malicious intent. While his character largely changes in newer comics to fit a narrative (and steal characters like Zatanna’s spotlight. Which is weird cus it kinda just feels like they wanted a man to take his role) I think it was instead new writers being uncomfortable about what he represents. How he was close to them. In an attempt to make John before “consumable” they villainised the very groups that read his comics.

Or something idk.

Consumerism killing the common man. Funny. Exactly what John protests about.

It’s so hard to be normal talking about my John like I don’t draw him with a deer tail and antlers. I need to lock in.

Hellblazer fans, looking at wings an nesting habits: GIVE ME 50 RN

[muzzleguppy]

Trust he can do his makeup while a certain angel of yours is doing his 32 step skin care routine .

If anyone’s wondering: my John wears eyeliner. His eyes look too soft without it so he does it to give himself that extra intimidating edge. Loser.

[ It's been three months. Why haven't I done anything? I burned all the evidence, I didn't go to the police — I haven't even consciously thought about him since. Why? Because I'm scared. Why am I scared — because he's old and he's been killing people for years? No, it's because I liked him. Before I knew, something that he said, perhaps, a gesture? Just for a second I thought I saw myself behind those eyes, trapped, old in a ruined fantasy. I have to find him, don't I? The poison must be drawn, analyzed — an antidote discovered. Murder may be a virus carried by us all, just waiting for one mutating photon to goad it into life. ]
