friendly reminder that my fic is gonna continue to be riddled with em dashes and not because I use fucking AI :)
I need Dick Grayson to be number 1 victim again please, let him be tortured, he should be shaking after and blame himself. Let him go to Bruce seconds away from telling him what happend but he sees him injured and decides his torture doesnt compare to how awful Bruce must be feeling right now. I want him to bubble up , wanting to tell anyone, but he never does. And this happening amillion times please.
does anyone else think of their fav characters as real people sometimes? bc i was listening to the hadestown musical and halfway thru i was like ‘omg jason would loveee this’
sigh.
i really liked dark knights of steel but bruce being clark’s half brother really threw me off. like i know that it was supposed to be medieval and stuff so it didn’t rlly matter if ‘batman’ had powers but it feels like it goes against his character??
like he’s literally supposed to be this unnaturally powerful person DESPITE not having powers amongst all these god like beings of creation and strength. that’s what makes him stand out and what makes him ten times scarier!!
i also didn’t rlly like how the robins were written :( i hate hate HATEEEEE when they’re written to be his employees. its such a watered down version of their purpose but wtv nothings perfect.
y’all ever read a fanfiction that’s going nowhere? like the summary was good, tags were good, writings good, they just won’t get to the point?? like why are we reading a whole ass obituary before the plot 😭
the start of the sassy man apocalypse can be tracked all the way back to 2005 when sam winchester first heard the words, ‘dad’s on a hunting trip and he hasn’t been home in a few days’
don’t get me wrong i think hcs and different interpretations of fiction and characters are cool asf and just as important for writing as the actual literature but fuck do i lowkey hate the whole ‘pit madness’ hc for jason.
one. it’s not rlly how the pit works. (which makes sense cuz it’s a hc) but the pit just heals things. like that is quite literally it. it can’t even bring people back to life. it just healed his brain damage yall.
two. it waters down his character. this is the bigger problem i have with it, when people write these fics or treat canon jason as this insane psychopath that has magical anger issues caused by the green goo it highkey invalidates his feelings and reasons for acting the way he does. we could debate forever abt if he’s right or not but the idea that his anger is fabricated or not his just goes against his writing completely. like let jason todd be mad normally!! let the man feel his feels!!
i will say, i do genuinely enjoy the hc that his eyes turned green after his deep dive. now THAT is a cutesy little quirk that i could see happening.
there’s two wolves inside of me !! one, doesn’t want canon to turn into fanon. i need the batfam to stay disfunctional, emo, angsty, and standoffish for the sake of consistency and realism. the other is wondering why there’s a new trend of writing batman as an inhumane pos that wants to kill his children.
is everyone else living from one big impulsive decision to the next or is that just me ?
the jason todd music debate is so funny cuz like what time do you think he had to listen to music??
