Questions that keep me up at night:
Okay, background info: Watched the Hellblazer movie adaptation, called Constantine. Not bad, a little too monotonous and predictable at points. Some bits were badly written, but IMO the best performance was by the big cheese from below, even if it only lasted a few minutes.
Ahem. Anyways, I was surfing the net for web comics. Got directed to fanfiction and ended up reading movie-verse fics (old habits die kicking and screaming). Stumbled over yet another pairing fic -Constantine and the snot-faced taxi brat (there are way too many of these things on the net -they're starting to take over the Mary-Sues)
In short the thing was the usual Romeo-and-Juliet-Angst-pls-don't-flame-cuz-its-not-a-Mary-Sue .
There was something about one of the chars going to hell because he was in love with a seventeen-year-old. Apparently, this constitutes as paedophilic.
Now, don't get me wrong. I was just thinking about how our standerds change through time... in the past girls were married off at 10, or 11, maybe younger. Now, in those days it wasn't considered wrong. In the past, having sex out of wedlock was oh so wrong. Today?
Well, it's all been discussed before and thoroughly aired.
Never can get the ideas to look right on paper...
"You could have just shot me, John!"
Ps: If each and everyone of us realised, truly realised we were all going to die one day and it wouldn't make much of a difference, what would the world be like? Maybe it'd be a lot less crazy and frightening... but then again it might'n be so interesting.
