Te wanted rambling character love

Kon

because he has issues, and he's a hero and he's kind of, healthily sexual and still cpaable of having platonic friendships and is canonically not-homophobic and turns otherwise straight-boys (and gay girls, I reckon), but only for him,a nd then they're confused and try to be his friend, even if they were only getting close to wreak vengence, because they don't understand why they like him so much.

Because he has issues for good reasons and they are, by and large, not self-inficted. Because he picks friendship over romance or sex, even though he loves romance and sex, and goes for women that are *cool*, ambitious, strong, clever...

Because he's trying to find out who he is, trying to establish who he is, and he's got no clue and less practise than *Bart* at it, and things just keep happening.

Because he's big and pretty and has good instincts, mostly, and knows where the line is. And he's got superpowers that lend themselves to sex (*tactile* TK) and can be paired with *anyone*, and is getting all kinds of cool new powers that we can play around with. Because he automatically goe sto shield Robin with his body, is honest sometimes, and covers it up the rest, and makes families and loses them and...

Because Kon is love.

Yes. YES HE IS.

Yes. Yes, Kon IS love. He's wonderful and snuggly and he has great taste in both women and men. And? He needs a hug.

Was looking for fics you've written that I haven't already read (and re-read, etc.) and found this.

1--completely agree. And because he's incredibly loyal to his friends, and because he made Tim like him, *love* him when Tim originally didn't even want to be around him, and because he's freaking adorable while still being so very much a teenage boy. Kon is love. And DC had damn well better bring him back.

2--WHERE is Kon shown as being canonically not-homophobic?!? I have not read this anywhere, so now I'm picturing something like Nick Lachey's commercial for Axe Body spray (unless the writer pulled a Devin Grayson).

2- In Superboy and the Ravers (which I am far too fond of) Sparks reacts badly to finding out that Hero is gay, Kon calls her on and makes it clear that he thinks she's acting badly (not in the "You're going to hell! Die, evil thing!" way, more in the "What you are is wrong, and will never be normal, you will never have a real, genuine relationship (marriage), and as long as you are like thism I will view you as doing something wrong.") and she needs to stop. His friendship with Hero is the same before and after Hero comes out, but his friendship with Sparks does seem to cool (though not completely disintergrate) after she acts homophobic. She sort of gets over it, but not... hmm. Not comfortably.

Awesome! Thanks, I'll look around for it.
