Coldflash, Married.

"Honestly, Lenny." Barry's lips turned down into a pout  as he eyed his husband. God, he loved saying that, thinking it. Loved that he got to call this wonderful man his forever. "How the hell do you always look like you're just stepping off a modeling shoot?"

"Really, Scarlet?" Len shot his husband an unimpressed look before going back to his book.

Top Ten Topics

I’m assuming you mean like… to discuss? to learn about? immerse myself in? Let’s go with, in no particular order: 

Sexuality and Gender

Sex (as in the having of it and the ways which people chose to do so)

Religion

Morality/Ethics

The supernatural (ie “are ghosts/demons/witches/merfolk/etc real”)

Makeup and fashion

Body positivity and societal beauty standards

Feminism in all it’s intersectional glory

Culture/race/ethnicity stuff (from both a political advocacy standpoint and a “learning new things” standpoint) 

that would be an intense story.

Yes, i’d write it. if we’re talking legal rights of metas and a fic that truly digs deep into that, i honestly think the place to start would be writing a story that looks at a court case of a metahuman who something bad happened to, like they lost their job or living situation because they were outed as a meta, or else were discriminated against in the medical or penal system, and then they sue over that, and the case goes all the way up to the supreme court where it makes precedence as protecting the fundamental rights of metahumans.

“meta rights are human rights”

the global scale would be a totally different thing though. i mean there are so many places that violate human rights on the daily (including the western world, to be clear here) and exploring this in the world court would require honestly a probably much heavier fic. it’s also a little unwieldly, like that’s almost too much to try to explore in a single fic, how all these perceptions might vary across the globe and how different nations are dealing with it.

so if i wrote it, it would be a lot more localized, honestly. it would be a specifically societal storyline. and there’s no way to get around the fact that it’s highly allegorical, so it would probably involve not just a ton of research on the legal system and how things like this are argued and play out, but also research into real peoples experiences in movements like this.

so... i would write it. but i probably won’t write it. not in such a way as that’s the main focus. there’s a decent write more fics that explore the social perception of metahumans in Central City in the world of The Flash, but that’s probably about it?
