#and that completes the interactions folks!

[brucewaynehater101]

As someone who is partly deaf, I love that deaf Tim stuff. But hear me out for something that could work for either of them. What if on complete accident when both the Bats and Rouges hear about Tim's disability, the Rouges are the ones who do a better job with not looking down on Tim. Yes they add things to help him, like for Deaf Tim Joker would also use ASL as he monologs to make sure that Tim can understand him or with Blind Tim Riddler makes puzzle rooms themed around telling the difference in textures or he reads all the riddles out loud.

Meanwhile the Bats are. They *tried* ok? But they keep over compensating because they worry about Tim. Unlike the Rouges who don't pull their punches, during training the Bats do start pulling punches and going a little easier on Tim. Dick keeps trying to do things for Tim that Tim knows he can do. Bruce keeps taking him off cases that involve in person investigation. Damian keeps saying things about how all tasks should be left to him because clearly he's the superior one (if it's early Damian, later on when they're on better terms he wouldn't be as assholish about it but also keeps trying to take over tasks for Tim)

I'm really really glad that you vibed with the AU.

As far as your additions, I 100% agree. Having "good intentions" for people can still be harmful and frustrating. That's why, in these AUs, Tim tries to hide his disability until he's able to prove his efficiency. It's dealer's choice whether the Bats choose to acknowledge the evidence or are still doubting his capabilities.

I think the fic from the OG post has a scene where Babs, Cass, and Tim meet up to discuss the microaggressions they face from the Bats due to their respective disabilities. The sequel definitely has cute interactions between Damian and Tim. Damian refuses for anyone to treat his "rival" as weak or incapable. Peak siblings energy.

The funny part I find about this would be the Rogues accommodating Tim's disabilities just so they can defeat him. If Joker learned ASL for Tim, he'd probably research the hell out of how to look intimidating and scary while doing it (since, depending on Tim's hearing loss, Joker can't effectively utilize the vocal tone skills he's trained to be terrifying). Riddler would treat it as another puzzle and mental exercise (his Riddles would likely increase in accessibility for multiple disabilities as time progresses. He wants to challenge folks by their thinking abilities, not by their ability to test within the constraints placed on them. Perhaps, after his research and new implementations, he even starts targeting schools that unfairly places confines on their students [from both a socioeconomic standpoint and from improper accommodations]).

Anyways, I would love a fic that highlights some of the Bats' treatment of Tim and how not to interact with folks of different disabilities. Stuff like infantilizing, doing tasks for the person without permission, assuming what someone can handle, and disregarding them. It'd be cool to watch Tim try open communication (asking boundaries and what level of assistance the person desires) with all of them. For some, that's all that's needed. They have a clear guideline of "that shit was not okay" and the lines of communication are open for them to ask clarification in the future. For others, they listen to Tim, agree to change, and still pull that shit. I personally vote for Tim getting petty.

I feel like Babs and Cass would be the ones to understand the most that Tim can do anything he sets his mind to (he's so incredibly stubborn that he'd probably even be able to steal LexCorp from Luthor if he was motivated enough. He most likely even has plans already drawn for it ready to implement at any point). Duke would probably understand how others' perceptions of Tim affect him.

I also kill for Tim utilizing WE resources to bring aid and accommodations based on more specific audiences (such as how kids in the foster system, LGBT youth, and those with disabilities [both mental and physical] disportionately make up the homeless population).

I'm rambling a bit because sociology is a passion of mine. I'd get a higher education on the subject if I had the money.

Anyways, I love considering such perspectives in fanfiction. Let me know if there's other stuff I should add to this AU!

The evil question is if youd draw vore

it was WHAT

#as much as this comical space has been fun genuinely no sweat this is not a hater space #but believe it or not i have an utterly bizarre completely buckass wild history with insane polycule situations related to vore #such that i never want to interact with it at all #unfortunately as much as describing the circumstances that lead to that context is a fucking bananas story #and the people involved did explicitly Not Awesome actions i still want to respect their privacy so i dont want to talk about it publicly #but just know that there is a deep well of theatrical level absolutely fucking insane context i have to carry with me in regards to that #what a beautiful world we live in folks

my favourite irony of the current shipping discussion is the folks who allege WolfWren enjoyers sent “threats” to people who enjoy cishet ships (I have asked for ANY examples or usernames of anyone doing this multiple times), have also been calling for Filoni to suffer & die if he doesn’t make their ship canon. but don’t forget, it’s definitely the sapphics and queers who like WolfWren that are the problem

#queer nbs & women get harassed for MONTHS by sabezra stans: [complete silence & all the major sabezra blogs still interact with those folks] #wolfwren gets a little love from the cast: “UMMM ACTUALLY THIS SHIP WAR IS SO TOXIC NOW AND THE WOLFWRENS ARE THE PEOPLE THREATENING OTHERS #are there wolfwren fans that suck? probably. & if you would like us to do something about it please give us examples and show us who #so we can make sure we aren’t supporting ANYONE sending threats and hate. #I’ve even seen wolfwren shippers giving sabezra shippers advice on blocking IPs + turning on stronger privacy settings #but where the fuck were Sabezra shippers when other Sabezra stans were talking about rape + murder + abuse in queer peoples posts? #I have about more than 20 examples of disgusting vile HATE (actual hate & not “haha RIP this ship) that I’ve been directly sent #multiple wolfwren fic writers have had to turn off their comments on fics because of homophobic hate #artists have been getting dumb shitty homophobic comments on their wolfwren art with “gay garbage!!! Sabezra of life!!!” #and I’m not seeing anyone calling out sabezras as a whole for being bad toxic people (which no one should because they aren’t) #do you understand & feel the hypocrisy now? #I have no doubt there are “mean” WolfWren fans that are saying silly shit like “hahah we won” and “our ship is better” #and yeah! That’s mean. HOWEVER it is not fucking harassment or the same as “fuck this LGBT shit” #and it’s wrong that queer sabezra stans are being harassed too- there is way too much biphobia & homophobia in this whole fucking fandom #but let’s not act like being called homophobic is the same as suffering under homophobia #and let’s not forget that queer people are capable of being homophobic themselves by perpetuating harm #thank you for coming to my TEDtalk #text

been fun getting back into the swing of things character design-wise lately. anyway heehoo craken

#cpu kerfuffle #cpuk corn #cpuk folk #*points at corn* do. do you- she has green thumbs. do you get- #also tangent but the way nccts have shown the cornthony dynamic to work is so very funny to me #danthony and corn hold hands. #danthony turns over every detail of the interaction in his head like he's analyzing battle footage like #'are my hands too sweaty. will she notice my hands are sweaty. we're both wearing gloves.' #'would it be weird to say she smells like fresh cornbread. is it weird that i noticed that when we hugged.' #meanwhile corn's just like 'Got Me One'a Them E-Boys' and is completely at peace with it being that simple

I’d respect Bridgette a lot more if it wasn’t used exclusively for the anime-styled short animation that doesn’t even show half of the concepts they were already considering at that time

#I like the PV itself a lot #it’s fun. has some awesome animation. and the few interactions the characters there have are pretty cute #but fandom treatment of it makes me resent it a bit. ngl #they act like the difference in style means it’s completely different world to everything else from pre-canon when– it fuckin’ isn’t #it’s literally just that #a difference in fuckin’ STYLE #that’s still Marinette folks

[lemony-snickers]

oof. seeing people excitedly discuss ai-generated fanfic is wholly disheartening in a way i truly did not anticipate.

#lemony snippets #idk y’all fanfic authors already have to scrape and beg for interaction so often (or maybe that is just me idk) but like #to just… consider the idea of cutting them out entirely makes me feel very old & very sad #writing is already so often considered something anyone can do (i am guilty of this) #and now it seems as if some folks would be content to erase writers (and writing as human skill) completely if it means they can get conten #made for them on demand #like writers put dozens or hundreds of hours into their work but i guess none of that love or dedication matters when an ai app can spit it #out for you immediately??? #fan works are a labor of love. always have been #sorry I am rambling just uuuuuggghhhh y’all #thank you for coming to my tag talk

Gonna rant a bit about fandoms, because I have some thoughts to share.

Kind of sad to see that fandoms are starting to be viewed as a generally bad thing even by the fans lately... It is such a strange change to see, especially if you've been participating in fandom culture since the beginnings of the internet. Nowadays, the moment something becomes fairly popular and beloved by many, you can see hundreds of people feeling genuinely frustrated or upset that 'now the fandom is going to ruin it like it always does'. I see this take mainly on Twitter, but it's prominent on Tumblr and other platforms as well. I've been a part of fandoms both big and small, and, sure, smaller fandoms are generally more cozy and easy to interact with, but what happened with curating your own experience? It's so sad to see bigger fandoms be addressed as this disgusting and gross thing (both old and new, which is even more upsetting to see), when there are thousands of wonderful creators putting so much love and time into their art, fanfics, fan-projects, and so much more. Fandom is a community, first and foremost. Sure, consuming content is a big part of it, but why are we treating fandoms like it's some big assembly line that needs to be perfectly cut out for our needs? It's more like a fun fair, and it's up to you to choose which vendors to come up to, and what do you want to interact with. And yes, you should interact with creators. By no means is that a necessity (I was a silent viewer for a long time myself), but it is still encouraged. I feel like fandom is becoming less about interacting with people and more about consuming content. And, subsequently, fanmade content is starting to get viewed as product, and treated as such. And that's sad to see.

#mia babbles #might delete later #of course there is nuance to this - i am just complaining lol #it's just sad because i feel like by being so negative about fandom as a whole - you are invalidating so many wonderful people #no fandom is a bad fandom (unless we're talking about harmful media but that's a whole other can of worms) #i've been a part of many fandoms that get brought up as 'disgusting' and 'the worst ones' #and sure i won't deny a lot of very weird and sometimes downright gross stuff that got created out of them #but what about thousands of beautiful art that artists put hours of their lives creating? #what about all the amazing stories that writers worked tirelessly on out of nothing but their love for something? #and that's not mentioning everyone else - because fandoms are not complete without folks interacting with fanworks #it's a community not a product #i feel like a grumpy grandma complaining about the youth not getting it but... sigh

It's been a hot minute so, just for fun: sephiroth as a hogwarts professor? (I feel like he'd teach DA or potions)

I must admit, Anon, I've... never actually become familiar with the HP universe. Never got around to reading anything, but I did see the first movie. .............All I... remember is that I saw it... at some point. ...........My questionably void-like heart is simply slanted more toward the science fiction bits of things, I guess.

If there's an entire class on the art of stabbing, fire, and looking incredibly confidently cool while you are shaking apart on the inside and about 0.03 seconds away from having a full-on breakdown, then he would be the professor of said class. He'd even wait before all the students left before turning all the lights off and casually crawling beneath his desk.

I think the thing that made me realize that I’m probably most likely autistic is being told that other people don’t experience social interaction as a never ending game of minesweeper. Like everyone else just knows where the mines are apparently they don’t have to constantly solve puzzles or guess. And the only reason I made it this far #undetected is because I’ve developed enough skills to overcompensate by remembering Every rule of social interaction I come across and just observing people enough to accurately predict what they expect me to do even if I it doesn’t come organically from me

#like not to say that allistic folks won’t also be completely unaware of social faux pas sometimes #but there really is a difference in baseline level of awareness #i think that might be why autism is so often misdiagnosed as social anxiety #because the constant unpredictability of every interaction Creates intense anxiety

You guys ever start reading a fanfic, and it's literally everything you are looking for, everything you ever wanted is involved, and then misway thru reading the plot starts to go in a direction that you end up hating

#just happened to me and Im so heartbroken Dx 💔 #it was literally EVERYTHING man #the ship I wanted. a completed fic. 50k+ words. 50+ chapters. and what I thought was the perfect plot #it was sooo good the first 20 chapters #then the author started taking things in a new direction #and slowly added in new dynamics and character interactions and plot points that did not fit the vibes #and eventually it just became intolerable to continue #I almost had it all folks #gonna go mour about it and then daydream a better version of the fic/plot #I legit could write my own stuff and put what I want out there into the world but like. no #its not the same #and I've got enough projects and characters and plots to juggle as it is with characters I own #don't got time to start something new and also have to focus on keeping characters I don't even own in character #get what I mean #anyways brb crying #sam's rants about life
