Some of the best fanfics I ever read were a gobbled-up mess of gibberish and nonsense. Things that are so unhinged that no publisher would ever dare to make money off of it.

Professional writing is so strict, fanfic CAN be good as 'professional' writings but I prefer the ones that feel like a five year old grazed their pudgy little hands on the keyboard and somehow found the post button. Just doesn't feel the same if the writer had to change/alter things for it to be 'proper'.

At some point "fanfic can be as good as professional writing" became "fanfic should be as good as professional writing" and that's caused major damage to fandom spaces.

NightcrawlerWeek Day 3 The Silver Screen/Shadows

Movie night with the boys.

Event hosted by @amazing-nightcrawler

Back when I worked at a restaurant, we would have this one DoorDash guy who had honest to God the worst timing ever. I never learned his name but he looked like a Mark and he had a special talent for showing up as something was happening. One time he came to pick up an order as the police were escorting someone from the bar for trying to assault the bartender and Mark was just standing in the middle of the entryway like🧍‍♂️asking about a burger that hadn't been started yet. Another time, he showed up as the kitchen was on fire and didn't understand why he couldn't pick up his order anyway even after my boss explained it to him three times. There was also the time he showed up and twenty seconds later, our POS system spontaneously imploded and our boss—the only person who could fix it—was out that day. Mark was an omen. Every time we saw his car pull up, there would be a collective sense of exhaustion mixed with dread.

Anyway, I think every piece of superhero media needs a civilian background character like Mark whose sole purpose is to get in the way and Fuck Shit Up by simply existing.

That's twisted.

My worst trait is that I definitely assume that people are far more familiar with comic book creator drama than they are. Makes for very interesting conversations with people.

Thinking about how in the Archie Ninja Turtle comics Hitler's brain traveled back in time to team up his WW2 self. The Turtles go back in time to retrieve his brain but WW2 Hitler holds them at gunpoint and accuses them of being demons who've come for his soul. Leo says they only came for his brain. WW2 Hitler misinterprets this as being his brain rather than his brain in the future and kills himself to stop the turtles from getting his brain.

Tldr: The Ninja Turtles killed Hitler.

I see tons of BatFamily fanworks (fanfiction, fanart, ect) featuring the four robins-Dick, Jason, Tim and Damian-and (sometimes) with Babs as Batgirl. For the record, I think these characters and the fanworks are brilliant. Yet, deep down, I always keep asking "Where is Cass, Steph and Duke?" Especially considering: .Cass, as Batgirl, had one of the best-selling, long-running comic series to star a disabled woman of colour superhero. .Cass predated Damian and the resurracted Jason Todd, appearing in 1999, Jason was resurrected as Red Hood in 2005 and Damian first appearing in 2006. .Steph, as Spoiler, appeared in 1992 as an ally of Batman and Robin (Tim Drake) and a love interest of Tim but would develop as a hero in her own right. .Steph had a very short but unforgettable stint as Robin. .While not as long or commercially successful as Cass's Batgirl run, Steph's turn as Batgirl was still widely acclaimed. .As a young kid, Duke's intelligence and puzzle-solving inspired Batman to defeat the Riddler during Year One, .Duke would join the antifascist vigilante youth known as "The Robins", helping strike a blow against criminal gangs and play apart in taking down the Court Of Owls. .Duke eventually became the Signal, staring alongside Batman in several acclaimed storylines from All-Star Batman, Detective Comics and Batman And The Outsiders.

I still don't understand. Why does the BatFam fandom know very little about Cass, Steph and Duke?

It's always fun making edits of Lego comic covers.

This time with variants!

I should probably post a dump with the previous covers I've made.

Would that be cool?

Eventually...
