I'm writing a bit of High School AU for "Green Lantern Corps" where Guy and Kyle are in high school together, and Kyle is one of the art kids, and Guy's a jock, and some of his jock friends are homophobic assholes.
I feel like the "homophobic assholes who are jocks" thing is way played out, but at the same time, I could see teenaged Guy hanging out with douchebags like that, because Guy was a delinquent in school until his brother yanked him into line, but still, "jocks are homophobes" is one of those things that seems to get way too much play. Maybe he could hang with jocks and general delienquents.
Thoughts on this, flist? If thinking back to your own high school days doesn't wreck your brains, who were the assholes you remember?
