*Beams at you* You have no idea how good it is to hear you're still reading! That delights me. Thank you.
*smile* Well. About that "HappyVerse" label, I don't think we ever intended to do some of the things we've done when we started.... but bringing Barry back changes everything. It alters so many dynamics, because well, when Clark's shamed to tell Barry what happened, when his sheer goodness is right there with them again, how can they not get some of that back?
I think I mentioned somewhere else that the DC Universe didn't used to be this sucking miasma of angst and pain that it is now--and there's no reason for it to be. Those are some of the most brilliant, loving, creative and exceptional characters ever created, they're better, "more" as Barry put it, than that. They just... (actually, it's the writers' faults, not my poor, beloved, abused characters) needed to be reminded of it, and Barry's perfect for that task--not that some of the others weren't trying, but... well. Barry's Barry.
(Or, translated, canon sucks and I/we reject it, replace it with our own, and give indignant looks towards anyone that tries to tell us we shouldn't.)
