"they talked about everything and nothing" is my biggest pet peeve. It's so much worse than a fade to black before a sex scene. Even in the sexiest lustiest pining-est fic, fade to black is still better than they talked about everything and nothing. Like. I am the biggest proponent of 'your sex scene should be unique to you! And your fic!' out there, but in the end I still know what probably happens in a sex scene and if you're fading to black then I definitely know. They orgasmed; it was good; it didn't move the plot along; fine; no one cares.
But everything and nothing. Boy, everything and nothing, let me tell you; this is the worst because I do care and I don't know; I don't know what happened; tell me what happened; WHAT DID THEY TALK ABOUT??? You set up your nice meet-cute and a couple conversations and somehow they are going from acquaintances to friends but how? HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN? This is the mystery of our lives right here!!! When you do make a friend, you are like how did that happen? It's magic; it's unique; it's better than sex, and it's literally different for everyone. It's the most unique beautiful and hot experience and you're reducing it to this little phrase that has no meaning, when the point of the phrase is that the conversation has all the meaning, even though it's not always about big things! Show me the banter! Show me the little jokes! Show me the contemplation of the universe! Show me the disagreements! Show me the agreements! Show me the real porn!
Like do not tease me with all this slow burn this, pining that, acquaintances-to-friends-to-lovers TEASING and don't give me THE GOOD STUFF, the stuff that I need, the stuff that I crave, by which I mean dialogue. Dialogue is the new smut pass it on

as a certified Diagnosed Autist(TM) i cannot stress enough that i am not only pro- self-diagnosis, but also pretty anti- legal medical diagnosis. it is, at best, a cruel hoop we have to jump through so privileged people will deign to give us what we need. don't fucking do that shit unless you have to, it was disgustingly expensive, fucking humiliating, infantilizing, and dehumanizing, and would probably actively cause problems in my life if i didn't have some really good allistic (-passing) people in my corner and also wasn't so fucking disabled that it mostly doesn't matter.
literally get that diagnosis if you need it for job/school accessibility shit or SSI or whatever, and otherwise dont tell the government SHIT about yourself. there is zero good reason for them to want that information. that's between you and the people you want in your life.

do you think there's a reason why the justice league pretty much abandoned hal when he's trying seeking for help (heck even ollie says to him that he should fuck off 😭😭) like their the main build up why hal becomes a supervillain
but I guess that's just how the league was written in the silver age, like if the emerald twilight was written today I don't think the league would treat hal that way
I honestly think there are reasons for everyone to tell Hal to hell, I don't think they're valid reasons, but they are reasons.
I guess it plays a big role that everyone was too busy dealing with their own to also pay attention to Hal's problems and the best thing they could think of to do was minimize Hal's pain. Tell him to get over the death of his best friend, the destruction of his coastal city, his age crises, among other things.
Personally, whenever I read "Emerald Twilight" and remember everything in the background, it pains me to remember that all of that was a product of how lonely and neglected Hal was.
"His friends" invalidate him and tell him to move on with his life, when Hal can barely stand up.
I think that the attitude that they have is also something that I have seen many times in real life with several friends.
It is difficult and tiring to deal with a person who has mental problems.
It takes patience and empathy to understand what's going on, and a lot of times that's not even enough.
When you are so used to seeing a person you love and know perfectly well be so happy, and just months later you must see how they slowly fall into an abyss and how the smile and attitude you were used to disappears and becomes a blur dead in life, it is difficult to deal with and many people tend to leave.
Am I trying to justify what the league did to Hal in the 1980s by leaving him alone and minimizing his feelings and then looking at him as scum when he became a callous and depressive villain?
No, of course not.
But I think I can understand why they acted the way they did.
Still, he didn't justify them, and it still hurts me to realize that Hal was left alone when he needed someone most.
(Parallax would never have happened if Barry had been alive, because Barry wouldn't have pressured him like that and tried to help him, and no one's going to be able to change my mindset about it.)

Why don’t they teach mathematical logic earlier? It’s present in literally all the books you have to read anyway. Some algebra author is going to be like for vs real numbers a,b ≠ 0 there exists a ratio a/b that is also a real number. And most people can’t even read that. Like half of the book is completely inaccessible because logic is fucking wild and requires actual practice with.
I’m not saying that this stuff is incredibly hard; it’s not. However logic just isn’t taught even though it is clearly foundational.
Sets especially seem to trigger me. Like I think a lot of people struggle with trig specifically because this aspect of functions is just not taught well. Like of course the arcsin(x) isn’t defined for -pi/2 > x < pi/2. It would be so much better if we actually taught this stuff.

ghost AU!!
I didn't want to show this because, you know, this kind of theme doesn't really fit this game. but I think some people might like it, so why not post it at least here
Mothiva acsidentally died, but her ghost got stuck in this world for some reason. only Vi can see her and Mothiva's somehow connected to the bee so she can't just fly away from Vi. they both hate this
I really like the idea that these two stuck together and they can't do anything about it. now Vi have to endure Mothiva 24/7, and Mothiva have to be around 'the worst team'.
sorry if it sounds dark and depressing. for me this AU is... comical a bit? I imagine so many fun situations with Vi and Mothiva. I'd draw this au more
(also it's kinda old drawings, I drew them in january or february, so when I said I didn't want to show them, I really meant it lol)
