”halcarol is toxic!!!” “halcarol should just be friends!!!” well first of all l + ratio and you don’t even understand that the circumstances keeping them apart have nothing to do with their influence on nor feelings for each other… they dance in a constant choreography of interchanging power dynamics because deep down they’re the same. and they’re soulmates who fuck nasty <3

#“if anyone would’ve made me settle down it would’ve been you” worst line in history maybe #firsT of all bold of u to presume that their dynamic can be easily shoehorned into the institution of marriage #second of all that’s??? a blatant misrepresentation of hal’s character #he HAS chosen carol before #(read predator arc it will blow your mind)#neither of them have commitment issues. they just happen to be committed to different things #ferris air is to carol what being green lantern is to hal and vice versa #it’s duty but also POWER #their values are the same which keeps them apart which brings them together etc etc #anyway i hate that quote sm <3 #it killed romance for me a little because the appeal of halcarol has never been that of a traditional conformist heterosexual relationship #it was always a little fucked up liiike #maybe their canon dynamic of being at odds (whether it be ss/gl or otherwise) is there for a reason #it’s kinda misogynistic to presume that being with hal = no agency for carol when the opposite #aka the current trend of giving her a disposable love interest in lieu of character development #leaves her no autonomy in the story at all #it’s not romance that’s in the wrong here it’s the utter lack of authority carol’s actions have within the narrative itself #her actions used to mean something #she used to be batshit insane #halcarol #dc #i’m sorry it’s midnight and this makes no sense #🌃.txt
