Related to my last post, there was a action/romance fanfic I was reading this weekend and I was starting to grow frustrated with it but I couldn’t put my finger on why, until at the end of a chapter I drunkenly exclaimed “they’ve already had this fight”.
A couple disagreeing is basic conflict in a romantic genre stories, but I realized this weekend I have a 3 strikes rule, even in a longer story (500k+). The initial fight about a character keeping secrets, being careless, or whatever. 1st strike: there’s a 2nd fight about the same issues which isn’t necessarily a bad thing because now a driving conflict is a characters refusal/inability to change. The 3rd strike where I stop reading is when there’s a third fight and its still centered in the same issues and not about the lack of change or these characters discussing separating/breaking up.
This is absolutely something I notice more in longer stories especially when reading these stories over a few days vs the multiple years that chapters were serially released over.
Of all the posts Chris could have liked đź’€
I think it's very funny that there are multiple media fandoms I'm in where either the media itself has themes similar to Bryan Fuller's Hannibal or a significant fanbase overlap with the show, such as:
Dishonored, House MD, Necron Flayed Ones, Venom, Illithid character in BG3
but I just can't stand the cannabalism in Hannibal so the show and fanworks are a squick for me. No idea why that show is different, but it's probably regular people (not real monsters) serving other people as fancy meals. It's probably a similar overlap how I dislike in zombie media seeing the zombies eat people, but weirdly I'm a big fan of vampire media.
On of the downsides of being into characters who are traitors/betrayers/(their real identity is a spoiler) is that the most successful way for me to be recommended that work and follow through reading/watching it is to spoil just enough of the plot by telling me that character exists.
On the other hand if the work is really good than it doesn’t matter that I’ve been spoiled on that twist, there is enjoyment to be had in the difference between what I know and the characters don’t.

Yeah, Guy Gardner is probably the textbook definition of a problematic fave. He's a constant womanizer, and I don't want to make excuses but it definitely reads as being a product of his time. Even in more modern appearances like Jaime Reyes first volume of Blue Beetle, or pre-52 Green Lantern Corps. It's not plain misogyny, as he absolutely respects women, and clearly recognizes when they outclass him. Just in flirting/dating interactions he's a sleaze.Â
I like to think that a lot of what people read as Guy/Kyle comes from how that is one of the healthiest relationships Guy has. there are interactions that could be read as dates, without Guy acting like an ass.
But what I really like about Guy, is his personal growth, and I haven't read all his comics. He has his flaws, and he works on them.
For a great Guy Gardner story, with a great interaction with him and Kara, try Red Lanterns new52 after issue 20/1 or so. Kara is a teen in new52, not an adult like in Super Buddies, but it is a fun contrast to make.Â
