#idk how tova is ok

I love your borderline story!! It is so well crafted and I love Bruce’s point of view for this. Even though they are literally sharing a brain he still comes across as a limited pov, and like there definitely seems to be things going around he isn’t instantly aware of. I think it gives a very realistic feel to a story about magic and such. Also, it reminds me of sense8 which I love (tho different type of connection of course)!

It was also nice to read bruce being bisexual about clark and the kids making fun lol. It’s like, ok doesn’t matter clark is a man they have known this for years (on the older kids part) haha. Also the latest chapter was very distressing! Like in a good way! You build plots and tension so well and I can’t wait to see where this goes!

Also I like the imagery you use to describe the characters. You have a way of writing that let’s me picture things easily and get immersed into the characters. I like how the characters are influencing each other too. I hope that j’onn isn’t right that they will just be one person, but it’s cool to read them borrowing from each other. Tho that part does suck when it’s like unwanted feelings like dick’s attraction to Barbara affecting bruce. It’s cool to see both the positive and negative aspects of such a connection.

I like that you write the characters as human who don’t always do what’s best for themselves and/or others. These days a lot of people want characters that only do the right thing always and feel the right things and never say the wrong thing and talk like they are teaching therapy lessons. But I like here where you can see they care about each other, but there is a lot of complicated history and relationships. You have such a good grasp on writing people and aren’t afraid to give them flaws! It’s so great.

Also I’ve not caught everything in comics and stuff, but so often times stories are where Jason outright hates bruce or it’s Bruce vs all his kids and it’s nice to read that even tho there are definitely complex relationships going on and obviously people aren’t perfect, but there is still this loyalty and love there still. After everything, there is still love. Or idk I could be reading with rose coloured glasses, but I just mean it’s nice to see something more balanced.

Anyways idk how coherent this, but overall I’m really loving this story and also shana tova!

Thank you so much, anon! I'm so grateful for this comment. Thank you for reading <3 there should definitely be more soon.

Shanah Tovah!

hey, can i get some encouragement, one jew to another? idk i just want to know i'm not alone (l'shana tova by the way!!)

ok first, please dm me if u feel comfortable, i’d love to talk!! and second of all, i don’t know your situation, but i totally understand how alienating being jewish can feel. i spent the first 12 years of my life surrounded by other jewish people — i live in an area with a lot of jews, went to a jewish preschool and dayschool, went to jewish summer camp, the whole thing. i grew up going to synagogue, keeping kosher, celebrating all of the holidays, learning hebrew, and that was all completely normal to most of the people in my life. when i was 12 i graduated from my day school and switched to a public school. i still had connection to judaism because i was studying for my bat mitzvah, but after that it was like i was completely alone. there were jewish kids at my school, though i’m more observant than most of them (even though i’m only conservative, lots of people thought i was orthodox), and i felt really shocked. i was raised in an environment where i was completely understood, and had to confront the fact that most of world not only fundamentally misunderstands who i am and what i believe, many of them also don’t care to learn.

it’s been 4 years since my bat mitzvah (i’m 17 now) and i’ve been through a lot of ups and downs with my judaism. i don’t have very many jewish friends — i didn’t keep in touch with anyone i went to elementary school with, and i stopped going to my original summer camp because i hated it. i tried two different jewish youth groups (usy and bbyo if you were curious) and left both after being excluded bc i’m a lesbian. adding all of this to the normal struggles diaspora jews face — antisemitism, assimilation, living in a diaspora, and the sense of loss that i think almost all jewish people feel — i’ve really struggled.

the beautiful thing about judaism is that it allows you to create your own meaning. when i felt alienated from all of the traditional structures of judaism, i turned to the things i felt i could be connected to on my own — essentially my own family. i began researching my family history, and that’s what made me stop feeling alone. when you’re jewish, even if you’re the only jew in your family, in your school, your town or even your country, you’re not alone. every time you light candles on shabbat, give tzedakah, pray, fulfill a mitzvah or even simply live your life as a jew, you’re part of a tradition stretching back 3000 years. whether you’re a convert or you were born and raised in a jewish family, you’re part of a people that has survived everything the world has thrown at us, and you’re proof of that survival. everyone who came before us felt loneliness, and each of these people created their own meaning in order to combat that loneliness.

this got really long, but i encourage you to start looking for your own meaning. start learning the significance behind the traditions you follow, and if you don’t follow any and are looking to, pick ones that feel important to you. start taking part in the jewish tradition of asking questions and looking for answers. if you don’t like the answers you find, make new ones.

i’m not sure if this is what you were looking for, but i hope this helps, and i hope you have a wondering new year :)
