in a spectacular rendition of Not Dealing With Things

um. So, Roy.

Bless, he went off to *find himself*? Because Grace said he was an actual hero and not a crazyperson?

Awww, I love him and his fucked up issue-having self! This is largely helped by what appears to be his lack of self-delusions! He knows he is fucked up! He has accepted it! He loves his daughter! And his not-brother! And his not-sister! And his really-not-a-dad! He beans people in the head with soup cans! This makes him *awesome*.

Possibly I should go eat something as I am all shaky and vaguely lightheaded.

ROY LOVE. SO MUCH LOVE. <3<3<3<3

(I was worried the manpain would get to you in some of his things, so I am a happy bunny that you adore him, too. Bwee!)

You know, it must be pointed out that despite the frequent voicing of angst by the younger generation, they basically usually do get their shit done, which to me is the ultimate distinction between the brooders and the manpain addicts. Unlike certain first-generation people I could mention!

I will say this for reading DCU: it has helped me figure out where my lines regarding excessive manpain and my own tolerance lie. Existence of manpain = okay! Excessive wallowing in and asshattedness as a result of said manpain = works my last nerve! It is a good thing to know about myself.

I will not lie, there was a brief, dark time when I blanched at the manpain and found my love wavering. But then he took Connor to a strip club and explained how he understood his own issues and was okay with them and I was like, "Oh! See! I can deal with self-aware manpain!" It should also be noted that this took all of like, an evening.

He is like season 2 Wesley! Only more of a ho. Er, and not British. And, I admit, the whole thing where Roy is not an entirely native speaker of English is totally a turn on.
