When I see Jason and Bruce acting like the stereotypical "prodigal son and gruff but loving father" (in canon!) my blood boils.
Jason died. Bruce did not avenge him, not even "playing by the rules", so not even by arresting the Joker. He didn't do JACK SHIT after his boy was murdered. And once Jason came back, Bruce slit his throat in order to save the life of the man who murdered him, and then left him to die in a burning building.
They should be unable to coexist in the same room let alone speak let alone have a "difficult but ultimately loving relationship". I hate you DC I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE

no joke but what I really want for Buddy Daddies as a fandom is to make fanart and fanfic post present time ep12 where Rei wears an arm orthosis when working.
I think varied disability aids being represented would be fantastic, and personally would write Rei as someone being deeply proud of something he's done for his family, but also understanding with time that using an orthosis also helps him at work and in raising Miri. with a giant portion of mobility/motorics aids being represented by prosthetics, seeing more variety and exploring it in fiction would also help making a step in normalising disability treatments.

I think it's really telling that people see two people as devoted to each other as Sirius and James are and immediately call their relationship unhinged, deranged, and toxic lmao.

New Ask Game to Hype Up Fic Writers!!
This is intended to be geared towards other people's work, not that of the person opening their Ask Box. There are plenty of Ask Games for people who are promoting their own writing, and while that is wonderful, I wanted to make one specifically for complimenting other writers!
Really good OC a writer has come up with
Terrible OC (In terms of, like, villains. We're being positive today!)
Headcanon you've adopted from a writer
Great Angst Fic
Great Fluff Piece
Interesting AU
Specific Line that has stuck with you
Specific Scene that has stuck with you
Amazing Title/Chapter Title
Fic(s) you would/did create fanart for
Memorable Ending
Memorable Beginning
A detail from canon that was expanded upon
Fic(s) you reread a LOT
Fic(s) that inspired you to write
Author you give the most unhinged comments to and why
Author you give sweet/sincere comments to and why
Fic(s) that keep you up at night (Either reading or thinking about)
Fic(s) you bookmarked (Maybe forgot about) and then were really happy you saved
Fic(s) you used to reward yourself (ie: "When I finish this chore/homework/task then I can read that")
Fic(s) you would/have forced someone else to read
Fic(s) you could do a whole PowerPoint Presentation on
An unfinished/updating fic that is totally worth the wait
An older fic that you still commented on/saved
A fun writer quirk you've noticed (Specific word(s) they repeat, detailed setting description, a lot of adjectives, trope they write really well, etc.)
Feel free to use, if you'd like! I hope you have a good day :)

I swear I was only going to write a few notes of ideas that I could come back to later.
5 hours and 4 thousand words later, I’ve got 3 chapters (fully edited and complete, I really wish I knew how so I could do it again) of a chronic pain take on Werewolf!Merlin with a healthy dose of Merthur hurt/comfort

I wonder if the reason why I tend to get overlooked as an LU writer is because I tend to write for Wild and Hyrule and not the "cool" Links like Legend, Warriors, Time or Four.

sometimes i forget that is aaron hotchNER. i'm like who? oh, yeah, he's not just hotch. but isn't it so sweet that all of them call him hotch? a loving, caringly (and professional enough) nickname! it suits him just right.

sometimes it drives me literally insane to see romance requests that are like
--I want a romance wherein it's basically the happy epilogue throughout the book
--I want a romance that has great communication and they never withhold anything from each other ever
--no "miscommunication trope"
The last thing is just a general gripe about how so many of the things people say are tropes are not tropes, and it's pedantic and snobby but like. Miscommunication is so broad. It's not a trope. People are miscommunicating. WHAT are they miscommunicating about? Is one of them keeping a secret identity from their partner? Because a secret identity romance iS a trope. Is one of them withholding their feelings out of fear of rejection?
Because people DO miscommunicate. Often writers do write it clumsily. If people miscommunicate for no reason, sure, whatever. But if they miscommunicate BECAUSE of a REASON--like, often it's not even miscommunication lol. It's the hero keeping his dire supernatural secret from his wife because she'll die if she finds out (honestly, valid to me, but whatever). It's the heroine finding it difficult to trust the hero with her heart because her dad left when she was young (maybe cliche in theory, but actually a very real thing that happens).
If all you want is plotless nothing wherein everyone is happy and nobody makes mistakes, I personally have a hard time thinking of it as a book, because there is no story. It's just vibes. And essentially EVERY time, people have to mess up and make mistakes in order for there to be a plot.
I just don't understand the point.
#romance novel blogging#if all you want is pure vibes what you want is a short form story or fanfic sorry#you don't want a book#and i'm not saying every writer does miscommunication right--romance has a lot of clumsy writers who just shove it in#(lmao)#but miscommunication is often a backbone in its most broad form of conflict#'i cannot tell you this thing because i am scared for you'#'i cannot tell you this thing because i'm scared of what you'll think of me'#'i can't tell you how i really feel bc i frankly need therapy'#these are all forms of miscommunication and the thing is that when a writer does it well you don't even call it 'miscommunication trope'#but you'll still dismiss miscommunication as bad#the long game by rachel reid is a great example#generally a really well-received book!#ilya gets distant with shane and shane doesn't take ilya's feelings as much as he should#bc ilya has depression and is not telling shane about it#and there is NO REASON for ilya to do this other than internalized shame and a tendency to hide his pain to keep others happy#this is miscommunication!!! they are not communicating well!!! and people still like the book bc rachel reid is a good writer#who knows how to convey this in a way that isn't annoying and is relatable#lol ofc all of this is also symptomatic of the fact that people can't read nuance anymore apparently#and 'character behaves badly = book bad'#(for the record ilya and shane miscommunicate a lot in both books but those books are widely loved bc again rachel is a good writer)

Love is stored in the new story idea, which in turn is stored in the brain, which in turn is stored in the clown with the bad memory who never remembers to store said story idea in an actual physical thing like a notebook or a computer

i've been trying to stay positive about yjs all season because i desperately wanted to keep loving it but after last night's ep i just cannot pretend it's well-written anymore. that was the most nothing, poorly-paced episode i think we've gotten, at least for an ep that should be a CRUCIAL turning point. there was virtually zero exploration of the worst choice the teens make in 96 (the ritual discussion should have been a fucking bottle episode, tbh, with all that should have gone into it), and too much time spent recapping what we already knew in 21 (without it actually meaning anything/changing the characters when they learned). oof. just truly disappointing tbh.

I think that people who say stupid shit like "their love doesn't require kisses and sex! They can be in a romantic relationship without it" should enter a relationship with someone who never wants to kiss them or have sex with them and tell me if they still feel the same afterwards.

Do you think Aleksander actually liked Alina apart from the whole sun summoner thing?
That's kinda the heart of the issue with him- he caught feelings, when he needed to keep his head clear.
I've answered similar questions before, but to keep it short he DID have genuine feelings for her, but both his versions had trouble to see her true selfish, short-sighted self and while one grew to love an idea of what she could become, the other became (due to incredibly shitty writing) straight-up delusional about her goals and personality, whipped to the point he kept crawling back to her for more hatred and abuse.
