What are your examples of good, healthy long term relationships depicted in fiction?
>>82527167
Arthur and Mera. Oliver and Dinah, maybe? Didn't read much of GA stuff.
What counts as "healthy"?
Gomez and Morticia, pretty much the ideal healthy romantic relationship. Loving each other's strangeness and faults as much as each other's fine qualities.

Thanks reddit.
>>82528045
Healthy as in, they have some problems, but are for the most part happy, mutually supportive, and monogamous for a long period of time.
>>82527167
Empowered wasn't bad in this area. They were both kind of idiots, but the relationship was healthy.
Joker and Harley

That comic looks like borderline porn. Is it any good?
>>82528774
Yeah, it's silly lightweight stuff that ostensibly mocks hypersexualized female characters in comics...with an endless parade of hypersexual depcitions of its main character. You could say it has its cheesecake and eats it too.
>>82528874
That sounds like something I could be into...sweet. Got another item for the backlog
>>82527167
There are none. You can't sell stories of people in happy, loving relationships. People are fucked up, and want to see other fucked up people go through fucked up things to feel better or related. I may be jaded, but I root for people who are in good, loving relationships, fighting the good fight.
Apollo and Midnighter were, until they decided to justify their break up saying that the couple wasn't healthy.
Th-thanks, Marvel.

I'm convinced that most writers in both Hollywood and in comics are miserable, lonely people who have no idea what it's like to be in a fun, healthy, and loving relationship, and that is why they're seemingly incapable of writing one.
>>82529872
Agreed :(
>>82528543
Gomez and Morticia are a great romantic couple though.
bout it.

Who is the lesbian in the jumpsuit watching them?
Dear DC:
Go fuck yourselves.
Love, the Dibnys.

Another day at work is nearly over,
You must've seen the whole thing on T.V.
Seventeen more city blocks and I can almost smell you
Waiting at the windowsill for me.
It's our forty-first anniversary,
But we don't look a day over twenty-three.
Not in this life.
Not in this universe.
And we were still in high school when I met you,
If you believe the continuity.
I rescued you from robots and untied you from the tracks,
And you pretended not to know that it was me.
We didn't even kiss until issue twenty-six,
And this world still feels like 1963.
I love this life.
I love this universe.
And you'll keep my identity a secret,
And you will know the touch beneath my glove,
And I may go out every night and risk my life for strangers,
But you're the only girl I'll ever love.
And Gwen Stacy isn't dead, she's only sleeping,
And Elektra isn't evil or insane,
And those bastards in the Pentagon can't really kill Sue Dibny,
No more than they could kill off Lois Lane.
And I swear to god there'll be hell to pay,
If anybody tries to take you away.
Forget this life.
Forget this universe.
You're everything I need.
You are my life.
You are my universe.
And they'll have to go through me.

Hell, Animal Man's family died because the writer's cat died.
Remember this?
>>82530205
Hey, they're back together now. And alive.

She's a big girl.

Hilarious.
>>82530465
Wasn't this the time they got mind-controlled and forced to make a porno? I don't think that rape counts as cheating.
>>82530164
>Who is the lesbian in the jumpsuit watching them?
I'm thinking Alicia Masters, but she isn't exactly watching them.
>>82530075
>Gomez and Morticia are a great romantic couple though.
They are probably the best /co/ related couple there is.
Really, the way how the entire Addams Family is devoted to and supportive of each other, it should be exemplary.
>>82530733
I think that was the point of the whole thing, at least with the TV series and movies. They were weird, but happy, even if the neighbors didn't approve.
>>82528119
This.
>>82530936
There was a bit of a bizarro logic to it in some versions though. Gomez worrying about the kids being so well adjusted.
Speaking of which, the Bizarros have a pretty good marriage going.

As far as comics go, that's really all you can hope for.
>>82532897
Is one of them being a bad parent a deal breaker?
>>82533363
Nah. Their relatiomship with each other is great, even if Aangs a shitty dad.
>>82527210
>Oliver and Dinah, maybe? Didn't read much of GA stuff.
nah, they weren't really healthy
Ollie tends towards self destructiveness and it drags down the people around him. also he cheated on her at least once
Grace and Thunder.
Moondragon and Phyla(before DnA made Phyla go full retard)
Hazmat and Mettle
...yes I'm still bitter
Really, really good until Barry made them stop existing.
>>82530164
Carol Danvers.

The pain never goes away
>>82527167
I'm assuming they don't even exist in current DC continuity, which is actually fine with me as eventually some hack writer would have torn them apart for no other reason than he could.
>>82530465
Well since somebody on /co/ mentions it at least once a week in either a Superdickery or Bryne hate threads its hard to forget about...
