I love hearing about fun facts and research, so 7, for the writing ask game!

Hi!!! And hell yeah!!! <3 <3 <3

7. what is a fun fact about a thing you need to research?

Okay, so most of the actual research I currently do for fics is... if it's accurate to the source material, checking worldbuilding maps, and trying to understand how military ranks (*eugh*) work.

BUT

since I think that is somewhat boring (who cares about the highest rank of staff officers???) I can tell you about actual real life academic research that often unintentionally influences my writing!

Because I am a cultural and social anthropologist! And I can be annoying about that! For example in stories and settings in which you have a strict in-/ and out-group, I like to imagine how the Muted Group Theory by Ardener(s) would affect the way these two (or more) groups talk about each other and what kind of language each group would have. Diaspora studies (Safran 1991 and Cohen 2008) and Othering are also heavy themes in my work - in fantasy settings more so than in my "real" world fics. But you might notice that I did incorporate some of that in my Batfam fics about Dick and Damian and the loss of culture - partially aided by the amazing @geminibabyhere . The fic that is probably the heaviest with all my raging thoughts is "objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear", a - believe it or not - Dark Artifices/Shadowhunger fic that I wrote because I reread the books out of boredom this year and my brain just wouldn't stop shouting at me to WRITE SOMETHING ABOUT MARK FUCKING BLACKTHORN.

um.

yeah, so there's that 😂

Thanks to fanfic writing and research, I know also know how close Dixon is to San Francisco (66 miles).

Thank you SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!!! Even if my answer is somewhat chaotic :D

(ask me about my stuck writing projects)

THANK U SO MUCH FOR THE ASK!

🌗 fluff or angst?

why it is always fluff or angst but never hurt/comfort????? i want my hurt/comfort guys that's all i ask,

(angst)

💕 favorite ship to write?

iorhfui honestly i don't think I have a favorite ship to write?? like, in general i like writing ship and i find them all interesting to write odifh it depends how much i like this particular ship i guess????

🌍fave type of au to write?

uuuuuh... any au? no but really, they all can be interesting as long as i have the ideas to go with it odfih

BUT in general i like modern au/no capes au (depending on the fandom), i also like fantasy au veeery much. I recently discovered my love for some fairy tales au (wait, not so recently actually now that i think about that)... like all of that is so much fun to write. AND!!! the worldbuilding!!! i love the worldbuilding!!

so, yeah. i'm staying with these one!

... except if canon divergence works..... i do like writing about it....

🎤fave line in a fic you wrote?

oh seriously i had to go find a fic and a line odufhu

SINCE IT'S LIKE THAT HERE I'LL PUT MORE THAN ONE

“So,” said Ashley, swallowing hardly on her breath. “You have two moms, and a dad. It's nice.” Not what she expected, but not unheard of.

“Five,” corrected Lian.

“... Five?”

“Yes. Five dads.”

I just really like this one bc it's very funny to me. It's from one of my WIP called "titans' babies vs the world", and in this one you have Lian talking about her parents lmao. Talking about that, here's Bobby talking about their parents as well:

“Yeah. The one who was with dad before, the dad who's Mar'i's dad dad and kind of mom's twin – or, well, they tell everyone they are even if they aren't really, I don't know, it's complicated – and now mom is with mom and they love each other very much. Like dad love mom and mom but in another way, you know?”

If it's extra confusing, it's the point LMAO. I just love these kids so much.

Stephanie flourishes on the road, cheeks reds from the wind and smiling, hands calloused under the work, her bag still light on her hips. This curse is turning into a blessing, even if she doesn’t say it out loud, even if she barely allow herself the thought.

But, for the first time since her mother’s death and what she feels is forever, Stephanie is truly happy.

This one is from another WIP!! A Fairy Tale AU with Steph as the main character :D idk, i just really like the way it flows, maybe it's just me lmao

Dick led the way toward the gardens, keeping Kori’s hand in his. The moon reflected on Kori’s hair in a bright, eerie way. He loved it.

It wasn’t too warm outside despite the summer night; a light breeze was creeping around and chilling the air in a pleasant way. The stars were shining.

Dick still had a ring in his pocket.

listen i'm a romantic at heart... i just really like this part. AND YES it's also for another one of my WIP. Well technically not WIP since it's finished but on its way to be betaed lmao

The last time Tim had seen him was years ago, when Jason was still Robin and Tim a stalker following the Batman and his allies. In his death, he somehow managed to grow up to be tall and bulky, towering close to Bruce’s height - and weight. All in all, Jason was terrifying, extremely competent, and there was no way for Tim to beat him in a fight.

After all, Tim knew that fighting wasn’t his strong suit, despite - or in spite - of all the training he had been put through. But, well, everyone said he had one thing for himself, and it was his brain. Or making wonderful plans on the spot, just like Kon told him two hours ago during their tag game. (That they won, for the record.)

Now was the perfect time to discover if Tim Drake could outsmart Jason Todd.

i just love it because it screams that Tim is about to do something very stupid lmao. AND!! this one is actually from a published fic, aka Checkmate :fingerguns:

“Because you’re Robin.” [...] “And Robin was me. My family colors. My name. I created it to honor my family - and by putting on this costume, you became a part of my family. You became mine, Jase. Not Bruce’s. Not anyone else’s. And you still are, will always be. Robins are a family, and Bruce has no say in that.”

Jason - Jason’s heart was breaking and healing at the same time, full of tiny shards of glass and soft bandages.

[...]

Jason never realized the consequences of being Robin, but this - being part of Dick’s family - was probably the best of all. It was worth it - worth everything else.

listen i'm extremely emotional about Jason and Dick and especially this fic. Anyway, it's from A Nest of Love and Robins, this one is posted too!

Wally missed it, sometimes. Missed the thrill of being Kid Flash, of being a Titan, of fighting and having movie nights with his best friends. When he looked at Bart, at Conner, at Cassie, at Cissie, at Tim – Wally wondered whose legacy they're carrying on. Of course, people automatically thought it was the Justice League's ; but Wally watched them and remembered and thought, 'Maybe they got it from us, maybe they're our legacy'. And that was a weird thought – because the Titans had never been about having a legacy or being one, but always been about being a group of friends and becoming a family in between two punches and a slice of pizza.

this one make me emotional too. I honestly don't have anything better to say, i just... really love the whole things. It comes from Watch Your Past!

Okay now last one but i'm really in love with this whole fic and yes i know i'm the one who wrote it and????

But- It was nice, too, in it's own way. They grew up together, faced death and life together. They knew each other so much they couldn't really hide anything, and sometimes it felt like they were an extension of his own soul.

He had thought, once upon a time, that maybe he was a tiny bit in love with his best friends. He loved them more than anything, after all; that didn't really change, he just added more people to this category. Their children. His siblings.

It hadn't been true, though – not entirely. Because if his interest in them wasn't romantic, it didn't mean he couldn't be in love with them. There are a lot of ways to be in love with people. Maybe it was just another one.

It didn't really matter, in the end, as long as they could stay together – in this life and the next.

[...]

They laughed, loud and clear – like all those years ago in Titans Tower or in the middle of a fight or standing proud against their enemies, mentors, whoever would try to go against them. They laughed, freely and with not a care for the world around them, like they still owned it after all these years. They laughed like they were young and innocent, ancient and tired, alive and free.

They laughed, loud and clear, in the same heartbeat and soul.

[...]

(Maybe they were all a little tiny bit in love, in the end.)

idk it's kind of poetic and full of feelz for me, so, yeah. It's from the fic home is where the heart settle, about the Fab Five!

AND THAT'S IT. Thanks again for the ask, ask list here!

tell something about the Zsasz fic? 👀💚

how about I do you one better: give you the first little bit of it as a teaser!

cw: murder, blood, self-mutilation in Zsasz fashion, accidental outing (not to other people, but Roman finding out)

Roman’s never seen Victor carve a mark into himself. He knows he does it, sees the physical evidence of it after every kill when it’s on an arm or a leg or somewhere else not covered by those godawful turtlenecks he loves so much. But sitting and watching him do it? He’s never been privy to that ritual. Always let Victor shut himself up in a room on his own and do it, presumably while chanting to Satan or jerking himself off or some other weird shit like that.

But tonight, there’s a problem. Tonight, one of the faceless fucks lying on the floor of the warehouse isn’t dead. Roman notices when it gurgles and clutches for his ankle; he manages to swallow down his shriek, but quickly repurposes it into a loud, “Zsasz!”

No answer. Roman kicks the half-corpse’s hand away and storms back a few steps, heading for the door to the little side office where Zsasz has retreated to do his thing. The door is halfway open by the time the next “Zsasz” is out of his mouth.

“Zsasz, this one’s not dead—”

And he stops in his tracks, because Victor, shirtless, is carving a mark into one of his tits.

Tits that Roman was not aware he had.

They both freeze and stare at each other for a long few moments. Roman’s eyes dart from Victor’s face, to the blood rolling down the swell of his breast, to the abandoned ace bandages at his feet. Now, Roman had seen him with the bandages on before, but he’d always assumed — fuck, that the guy was in a perpetual state of healing from self-inflicted wounds there. Not that he was— Not this.

After what feels like several years, Roman’s brow pinches together. “Victor?”

“Boss, I—” Victor starts, his mouth gaping like a fish. “I—”

“I’ll… give you some time,” Roman says, stepping back and closing the door.

The man on the floor, he discovers after kicking him, is now thoroughly dead.

Hi! 20 and 9 with Jason? For the character hc ask 💙

Oh, fun ones.

9) Humiliating memories: That time Bruce found him right after some of Ras' people hopped him up on truth syrum. He pretends not to remember what he said because he's sure he'd rather die that have to acknowledge any of them, least of all being the part where he cried about Bruce never getting him a dog.

20) What-ifs/Alternate Timelines: In one alternate universe where Jason was found and raised by the All Caste from when he was barely old enough to remember anything else, one of his earliest solo missions was finding and neutralising Nerons future protégé. He and Eddie wound up becoming best friends instead, S'aru was a little peeved, but like, Jason didn't technically fail.

Mourning, a little voice whispering inside Jason's mind. It sends a sharp and sudden chill down his spine.  that little voice, Jason decides, is a liar.

Tim remembers first ascending the newly-instated obsidian dais of Gotham what feels like a lifetime ago, side by side with his siblings. Together, they’d sworn to defend and protect Gotham, to uphold her laws and to rule her fairly and justly as they were able- and sworn fealty and loyalty to one another as Gotham’s monarchs and as equals. They’d promised to guard one another’s backs,; to hold love for one another second only to the love for their kingdom; to always stand together for as long as they were able and to never abandon one another.

And yet, five of the six thrones of Gotham were now empty- one of them for good. Three of his siblings had gone far west, with no way for him to know if they were alive and well, or if their errand had proved fruitful. And his last sibling and newest sibling- Duke, who’d been adopted by their father scarcely a year before his passing- had ridden off to their northern borders a few days prior, with their aunt the Lady Kane and Tim’s old friend Knight Stephanie at his side and as much of their troops as Tim could spare without leaving Gotham grossly unprotected.

“It’s probably some Fell creature poking at the wards, Tim,” Duke had said, eyes wide at the amount of soldiers lined up in the courtyard to accompany him for what was probably just a routine border check. “You don’t have to worry.”

False. Tim had every reason and right to worry when he was the one left behind, because someone needed to make sure Gotham didn’t run herself into the ground in her monarchs’ absence.

He had every reason to worry when all of his siblings were gone, and it was just him and an empty throne room.
