I see your angst-filled x-fic, and raise you this: magical were-unicorn fic!

Everything’s Magic, by foxxcub

Author Summary: “Eames is a were-unicorn, and Arthur is the architect unknowingly out to destroy Eames’ home. The rest is just a fairytale love story.”

Eames never believes fairy predictions, as they’re mostly rubbish. But he can’t exactly call a half dozen yellow bulldozers and a fleet of contractors rubbish.

I think this may actually be my boss’ management style. (Worse — or possibly better — it may sort of be working for him.)

Movie Review: Green Lantern

I thought Green Hornet was overall a better thought-out, more complex movie. (Which, wow — would not have predicted that at the start of the year.) On the other, there is some fun stuff out their once you start wiki-ing the Green Lantern mythos.

from Green Lantern

Each Green Lantern has his own oath. However, some are more common than others.

Apparently this includes Kermit the Frog.

In 2011, around the release of the Green Lantern movie, a trailer for The Muppets featured Kermit reciting a parody of the oath:

In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight.
Let those who laugh at my lack of height
Beware my banjo…Green Froggie’s light!

And then there’s the Emotional Spectrum.

In DC Comics, the Emotional Spectrum is divided into the seven colors of the rainbow, with each color corresponding to a different emotion: rage (red), avarice (orange), fear (yellow), willpower (green), hope (blue), compassion (indigo), and love (violet).

from Geoff Johns at Comic Con 2009:

The two emotions on the far ends of the emotional spectrum (rage and love), have a much stronger influence over their users. Johns explains that rage is an emotion that’s closely related to the primal instincts one needs in order to survive. In instances of fight-or-flight response, rage would embody “fight.”

Johns elaborates that love is the most pure emotion, but also “powerful and just as distorting as rage.” Though these emotions are overwhelming, they are not negative if used correctly.

While describing interaction between the different emotions, Johns describes willpower (the emotion central to the spectrum) as being the ability to maintain control over one’s emotions and grow as an individual. Hope embodies a spiritual quality that emerges from that awareness, and compassion (according to Johns) is an even more difficult emotion to explain that is more rare in today’s society.

The movie itself — not that deep. But the conceptual universe — very, very cool.
