I like writing about pain. · 1:00am Sep 13th, 2019
For me, it's much easier to visualize and express pain because you experience pain more than joy, and everyone reading it can relate to it better. Not everyone experiences joy, but everyone has felt pain. Humiliation, loss, guilt, sickness, horror. And once you know bad things, it's much easier to appreciate love and beauty and acceptance and smiling like an idiot for days on end.
The most emotional moments in my stories have to deal with pain. Butter Bloom's longing to be rid of his cerebral palsy. Ironheart's backstory and ultimate death. Freedom Fighter's madness and depression. Firestorm's hate and drive to protect because he's afraid of the deaths of those he loves. Noble Blade's constant thoughts of never being good enough. Scorpan's separation from Tirek. Blueblood's betrayal of Celestia. You name it.
Pain and joy are universal languages. Two sides of the same coin. So those with a complete understanding of pain will also know a complete understanding of joy.
I agree completely.
