if you're stuck on a chapter there are a few reasons:

-your set up to the scene you're writing is not working. go back and check it

-you are not in the right POV. think about who would be the most interesting or the most entertaining or the most informative in that scene, depending on what impact you want the scene to have

-you're at the beginning of the chapter and the words aren't coming to you even though you have it planned out already? the solution is simple: you don't like what you have planned out as much as you think you do. do not force it

-solution to a lot of problems comes from a single question I ask myself: Do I choose the kind option, or the mean option? (Your readers will eat up either one)

-You find the dialogue lacking? Act it out

-Your scene feels boring or something just "ain't right" but you can't tell what it is? Try making yourself feel the emotion you want your readers to feel. If you didn't cry while writing a scene meant to make your readers bawl their eyes out, then you might not have connected to your character as well as you wanted to. Put yourself in their shoes, pretend you ARE them.

(And afterwards, please practice putting yourself back in your own shoes and taking care of your mental health. Sometimes the fucked up stuff might get to you. Healthy minds create healthy lives, and in turn, you get to keep creating.)

-Your environment might be bothering you. Take a look around you and see what's nagging you. Is your workspace not clean? Are your notes out of order? A clean/orderly workspace can help you organize your thoughts or get you into a more productive mood. (Trust me, I get it, sometimes it's really hard to keep it tidy.)

-Try white/brown/pink noise. Try listening to music, or to videos that create background noise you feel most productive with.

-Jumping jacks. Squats. Stretches. Wiggle around your room. That one scene in High School Musical where Sharpay and Ryan are warming up. It sounds ridiculous, but this is good for you, your body, and your mind. Release pent up energy, get yourself awake and focused. If you aren't able to do this, try something silly to wake your brain up. Do some puzzles, sing some songs, etc.

-Most importantly:

Did you do your laundry? Did you get enough sun? Did you drink enough water? Did you eat enough today? Did you get your favorite snack? Did you smile? Did you run in your yard like you did as a kid? Did you laugh with your friend? Did you see the way their eyes crinkle when they smile at you? Did you play with your dog? Your cat? Did you look at the flowers in the field near your house? Did you meet someone new? Did you learn something you didn't before? Did you try something you were scared of? Did it go well? Did you enjoy being yourself? Did you explore the world today? Did you live? Did you love? Did you feel? Did you breathe, and relax, and feel that everything is gonna be okay?

It might seem insignificant, but we write from the heart, not just the mind. Let your story sit in the back of your mind when you truly feel stuck. Take care of yourself, try getting out of your head. Notice the details around you, commit them to memory. Your story will wait for you. It might take a day, or days, or a week, or a month, months, or a year or years. But the story sits with you and you'll be thinking about it without actually thinking about it. When you come to your story again, it will be happy that you've grown, no matter how big or small

Jason Todd and Bruce Wayne’s relationship is awful in canon because dc never wants the story to end!

That’s the whole reason, they can’t kill the plot point of Jason hating Batman cause it would resolve a major plot point.

It’s ok for them to do this because it really does matter to the characters and comics progress extremely slowly but if your writing a fanfic and you want them to not hate each other, write that they did the things! Fanfic is an isolated story away from the canon and you have control over the manner in which the characters act and progress, so writing that the characters had character growth is completely acceptable

I know I have brainrot of redroom/hydra Peter Parker but imagine a red room Peter Parker as Tim drakes personal assistant (this is isolated from the “Richard Parker is dick Grayson” tag so Peter’s kind of just some guy)

Like Peter is Tim’s version of pepper mixed with Natasha in iron man 2 and the Batfam doesn’t know what’s going on

*peter and Tim arguing over WE things and Peter wins and also corrects Tim on bio engineering/ mechanical science/ computer programming*

Jason: what in the fuck was that

Tim: that was a Peter, so far he knows 10 martial art speaks twelve languages and has corrected and redesigned 12 of my projects, he’s terrifying and. Gorgeous

Jason and Batfam: 😟 we have to make sure that guy doesn’t become evil

[idiot-h00ker]

God I need him

[idiot-h00ker]

Instead of tim drake getting pissed off abt Jason calling him “replacement” he leans into it and renames himself vulture and bases his look on the bearded vulture

Tim drake one day loses it on Jason and is all like “your death meant the fall of Batman , and if you don’t stop fucking with me I will toss out these borrowed morels and pick over your corpse as I claim my prizes like I did at 12”

The canon is a rough draft of what my fanfics will be

[idiot-h00ker]

Btw my red room Peter in dc gives his villains nightmares

Heartless hasn’t felt anything for years and then Peter injects him with a serum that make it a guarantee that if he tries anything again he will die

James Gordon jr. Tries to play “the most dangerous game” style with Peter and then Peter gives him a pheromone lock linked to James’ own scent, and Peter instills the same lack of free will the red room instilled in the widows

Blockbuster can’t match him in speed strength or intelligence and tries his hardest but knows he’ll lose everytimd

The Batfam forgets that he’s so scary until they face one of his enemies while Peter enters and the villain literally just freezes in terror

[idiot-h00ker]

Some more red room! Peter in dc but he’s on twitter and his public backstory is a little insane:

User1234: hey @grasyonsflyagain what would you say was the craziest thing Peter did while homeless in Russia?

There_2_now: one time while going between a towns in the mountainsides Peter had a large guard dog, when a blizzard suddenly occurred while he was alone, so Peter killed the dog and survived in its carcass for 37 hours while eating dry chia seeds and raw goats milk

User1234: oh!

"Alone in the city of stars, Autumn-Son was as sad as a forest with no deer. At night, he counted the stars outside his window in the language of the people, so that he would never forget. And he found other ways to comfort himself... dangerous ways, that, though maybe meant to wound Green-Man, in the end wounded no one but himself."

Now THIS is the best birthday present

In my head red room Peter Parker has beef with Damian Wayne cause of the difference in training and like moral codes

Damian:why would you snap a man’s neck in that manner??

Peter: because I’m not trash at my jobs

Damian: I was trained by the league of assassins, we are the best in the world

Peter: skewed data, I can almost guarantee

[idiot-h00ker]

Supernatural! Peter Parker where he’s a spider deity connected to the web of life and he has to talk to Danny phantom in Gotham for plot reasons

[idiot-h00ker]

Vampire! AU where vampirism is a curse where someone stops aging until they find true love, but the longer you live the more hardened your heart

[idiot-h00ker]

I came across the AU idea that Dick Grayson is Richard Parker, and thus, Peter Parker's biological father. There are a few fics where Peter dimension travels to the DC universe and gets to meet his dead father. It is a fun idea, but I have different one.

AU where Peter dimension travels to the DC universe, and the batfam realizes that he is Dick's son, but rather than think he is from another universe, they all come to the conclusion that he is from the future.

It makes sense, after all, the rules of time travel basically boil down to 'don't change anything.' So when Peter is avoiding them and "pretending" not to know them, they just think he is following the rules. (He isn't even really avoiding them, he just has no idea who they are.)

You know how once you have an idea in your head, it take a lot of convince you that your wrong? Same idea here, they are so convinced of their idea that all new info ends up making them surer. Confirmation bias.

So Peter is trying to find a way home while the batfam tries to subtly help him without getting involved in time travel. Hijinks ensue.

Peter once mentions his love of photography and how he used to take pictures of heroes for a newspaper. Everyone looks at Tim and thinks, 'Gee I wonder where he picked up that hobby.'

At one point Peter pulls an assassin move, and Damian is like, 'I taught him that for sure.' (In reality Peter just trained with Natasha and Bucky before.)

When dealing with some issue Peter says something like, "I know a guy with some green angry problems and he taught me a lot about staying calm when mad." Everyone looks at Jason??? (He just picked up some meditation advice from Bruce Banner)

At some point he goes to the manor and everyone is like, 'Hah! More proof! He knows his way around the building!' He doesn't know his way around, his spider sense just lead him to where people are and kept him from getting lost.

He mentions Black Cat once, and everyone comes to the "totally logical" conclusion that Catwoman had a daughter, and that Peter and Felicia also have a weird almost dating thing going on.

Peter has been forced to go to some fancy events with Tony before so he knows how to act at rich people galas, which of course just adds fuel to the time travel theory.

Peter keeps accidentally referencing things that don't exist/didn't happen. Everyone just assumes these things didn't happen/don't exist yet.
