Something I never realised until recently is that by writing a fic about the scenarios I want with the characters I like, I end up with a story to read that I really love š and thatās worth a lot to me!
You should write the most niche, indulgent fiction that appeals to you specifically, because it will be much more artistically authentic and valuable than corporate slop that has been focus tested to death to appeal to the widest audience possible.
Write for yourself and you will always be making authentic art that has an uncompromised vision, and you will gain an audience that appreciates that.
I canāt be normal about this man
Do yāall ever wonder if post-pit Jason gets phantom pain - not in the sense that missing a limb or anything but in that he was severely tortured and died and spent years being malnourished and his brain still remembers that pain, but the pit wiped it clean from his body. But his brain remembers. And sometimes his brain misfires and forgets for a second that his body been changed, thatās heās not still that malnourished kid who got beat with a crowbar. Do you ever think his bones ache, or he bumps into to things because his mind thinks heās still 4 foot 6 and not some hulk of a man, or heāll get random hunger pains that make him double over despite being well-nourished and eating regularly? Do you ever wonder if Jason gets days of dysphoria, where he canāt even stand to look at himself because he canāt recognize the person staring back at him?
You need to draw and make art or else all the images will stay in your head and you'll get sick

I gotta add this to a fic š
Jason having his priorities straight fr
The most based character of all time
ooh interesting idea
I need more people to acknowledge that bruce is not gonna be a great parent, but i'll be damned if he doesn't try
His parents are dead, and as far as I've seen, the only real, not-explicitly-toxic relationship he has is with Alfred, his butler
and remember that, at least for a long while, as much as Alfred cared, he still drew a very clear (sometimes limiting) line between them as butler-and-master
so no Bruce does not know what he is doing with any of his relationships, familial or romantical
and no he probably will never really learn
he's going to make absoulutely horrible, relationship-ending choices, but can you truly look me in the eye and say that any batman does not truly love and value every single relationship he is in (asides from when dc butchers everyone's personalities)
so I need to see more fics like this,
a bruce who tries and fails,
who does not know how to deal with any of this,
and so hides behind a mask or a doof smile, uses his persona to try to deal with it, to try to cope
a broken batman who doesn't know what's wrong with him but desperately wants to fix it, only, if only, just to maintain whatever semblance of love he gets from his friends, his kids
maybe that's why he has so many, desperately searching for any warmth in the innocent's child eyes
fanfic writers where you at?
A non-comprehensive list of wrong words I've seen in fics:
Rogue and Rouge - very common in superhero fics
Offal and awful - only seen this twice, both in Harry Potter fics
Weary and Wary - to be WEARY is to be tired, worn out. To be WARY is to treat with suspicion.
Definitely and defiantly - I do this all the time and have to go back to fix it
Bare and bear - The character probably doesn't have a bear chest. Probably.
Passed and past - Also guilty of this one
Manner and manor - lots of Batman fics have this one
Bubble, bauble, bobble - I can't remember the fic but I saw all three of these used in a paragraph to describe Christmas ornaments
Dual and duel - Another common one for Harry Potter
Chord and cord - also weirdly common?
Scalding and scolding - Scalding hot, scolding voice
Loosing and losing - You can loose a knot but you lose a fight
Threesome and trio - I KNOW what the fic writer was trying to say but these days the two have very different connotations
Cryptid and cryptic - So often. SO OFTEN. Especially in Danny Phantom fics
Waste and waist - This always shows up in character descriptions and it transcends fandom
We all make mistakes but some of these are so common I actually googled to see if I was wrong XD
BEGGING Batman/Batfam ff authors to learn the difference between rouge and rogue. For my sake. Please. (I use a screen reader and it switches it into French half the time)
god's tiniest dickbin (batman & robin: year one #1)
I am not normal about these two
after my brotherās death, i reflect on the illiad // secret files and origins: nightwing // batman #416 // nightwing #62
I dont understand how people think ābut they killed people!ā Is everrrr going to convince me to hate a fictional character. I actually like them more because they killed people. In fact, its the main thing I like about them. I would cheer with pom-poms at the mere implication of them killing again.
