Zarys: You would make an enemy of the Zhentarims, the most powerful and dangerous mercenaries network of all Faerun, to save one man?
Me: You don't have all the facts
Zarys: Which are?
Me: I love him 😔

What are your top 10 DC characters & why? Maybe favorite fcs/hcs for them too?
ok so! i did this in alphabetical order bc i just can't do them as favorites from one to ten
bruce wayne, aka the batman
why: im gonna be real with you, i ignore 95% of his canon bc my bruce isn't as much as a dick, go away. he's a really interesting, complicated character, and i like writing about his trauma and the different ways he copes with it bc they're all so fucked up. so fucked up. man needs a therapist
fc: david castañeda
hc: he's bi, but not out to Anyone At All bc it took him a long time to come to terms with it and it's very personal to him
bonus! what verse: comics
dinah lance, aka the black canary
why: i want to BE her. she's a badass with a big heart and honestly deserves the entire world. also im generally a fan of strong women who are soft and kind but also take no shit from anyone ever and WILL fuck you up if you mess with their family
fc: jurnee smollett-bell (im really excited to see her take on dinah!)
hc: she's in love w barbara gordon & also mentored stephanie brown you CANNOT take this from me
bonus! what verse: COMICS
donna troy, aka troia
why: im weak for strong women! she's interesting to me bc she's like diana but she doesn't seem to be as untouchable or perfect yknow? she's amazing but still very human n i love that
fc: madeleine madden, laura harrier, conor leslie
hc: diana was always a lovely, supportive mom/sister/whatever relationship they have in dcs current continuity (THEY NEED TO MAKE UP THEIR FUCKING MINDS), but sometimes donna struggles with living up to someone who was just so fucking perfect all the time, which is part of why she quit being wonder girl
bonus! what verse: the titans tv show,,ik it's incredibly edgy but i love it ok. ive also been looking into her comics
hank hall, aka hawk
why: look i. really did not like him at first and then we got to 'hank and dawn' and s2 and jesus CHRIST. JESUS CHRIST. his trauma is very compellingly written and he's like, a white man but with depth?? DEPTH????? his heart is in the right place and he's been through a lot and i love him
fc: alan ritchson
hc: he's been hit so hard so many times that he's starting to reach the point where he physically can't be a vigilante anymore
bonus! what verse: the titans tv show
harvey dent, aka two-face
why: he's actually got, like, a genuinely interesting backstory when it's written properly. and the idea of gotham's savior, "apollo," the perfect, beautiful, good guy becoming a villain is just. poetic cinema. i adore it. @dc hire me to write a two-face movie hes the only male batman rogue i want to see one for. riddler u can stay but you're on thin fucking ice
fc: riz ahmed, austin stowell (specifically his look as larry king in battle of the sexes)
hc: him and bruce are in love and it was soft and then sad and then sadder. it's practically canon leave me alone
bonus! what verse: comics
john constantine, occasionally aka the hellblazer
why: bastard man!!!! bastard!!!!! he's not your typical comics protagonist, & he's an antihero without just being like, a broody murderous dick? hes reflective and self centered but also like. funny. and relatable. and interesting. he fucks up and fails a lot and it's okay. he's the comics representation of the everyman and relies on his wits more than his power and his og comics are SO fucked up and have a lot of political commentary and i Love Them. also hes been canonically bi since the 90s so that's a bonus
fc: riz ahmed (listen,,,), matt ryan
hc: he lets people lie to him too often. he lets them say "i'll be okay, i know what i'm getting into," lets them love him even when he knows he shouldn't. he wants to love & be loved so badly that he always tricks himself into thinking that maybe this time it'll be different, maybe this time it'll end okay. it never does.
bonus! what verse: comics & legends of tomorrow & the constantine tv show
kendra saunders, aka hawkgirl
why: in season one she was very much like, seen as the storybook princess who was so perfect and sweet and needed to be saved, but then she said 'i can handle myself' and slayed her OWN dragon and goddammit it was beautiful
fc: ciara renee
hc: there are some days where she cannot get the feeling of vandal savage off of her skin and she scrubs her arms raw but she just feels his hands and it's a living nightmare for her
bonus! what verse: legends of tomorrow
leonard snart, aka captain cold
why: he's very cold and ruthless and calculating but he'd do anything for his sister and his friends and he cannot live with the thought of anyone controlling him. he makes his own fate, he has to, he has to be able to be more than what he was made to be. he became one of the good guys while still retaining his character and ice and danger and he is also Hilariously snarky at all times
fc: wentworth miller
hc: he's not dead he's just trapped in the time stream seeing thousands of possible futures for all of the people he cares about and not able to do anything about it and it it his own personal hell
bonus! what verse: cw's dctv, but i've been looking into his comics too
stephanie brown, aka the spoiler
why: god. GOD. steph refuses to let anyone define her or stop her from reaching her goals and she has been through so much and stays bright and kind as an act of defiance and she is so quiet and so strong that sometimes you can forget she is hurting but the shit she's been through has given her a steel core and god she just shines, she's so perfect
fc: sydney park
hc: im not sure if this is actually canon or just a frequently used hc but she's a pre-med student
bonus! what verse: comics
zari tomaz
why: snarky hacker babe!! she's been through a lot and isn't afraid to let herself be hurting and angry but at the same time she's so so good and has a kind heart and she's usually the voice of reason and im gay for her
fc: tala ashe
hc: she's a lesbian and still in love with amaya
bonus! what verse: legends of tomorrow
