#especially Batman villains 👀

[maryasmorevna]

so, folks. you're probably wondering why i changed my pfp and mobile theme and why tf is the joker's clown face in it. well! it's because i may be in my batjokes era (again)

You write unhinged Leo so well, and I really like how you write him. I was wondering if you had tips on unhinged characters 😂, or do you just get inspro from existing characters 👀

aksdakjsdh thank you so much ;w;

And honestly???? I’m not totally sure how to give tips— but I love, love, love unhinged characters in media, so I’ll use them as examples

(long rant below lol)

I’ve always been a big fan of silly, ‘crazy’ characters in animated movies and cartoons. I grew up on Batman the Animated Series and the original Teen Titans, which were full of silly, fun tragic characters.

Don’t get me wrong, i love a good edge-lord— but as a tot i thought the colorful, theatrical, insane bad guys were more fun to watch than the big scary serious ones (ESPECIALLY if they had a good villain song. A+ good shit)

(From left to right: Ratigan from Great Mouse Detective, Joker from Batman the Animated Series, Mumbo Jumbo from Teen Titans, Martin from Secret of Nimh 2, Bill Cypher from Gravity Falls, and Spinel from the Steven Universe movie)

And not just bad guys!! There are a ton of unhinged good/neutral characters that i absolutely adore.

(From left to right: King Bumi from ATLA, Clara from Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun, and, of course, our silly 2018 turtle boys)

((There are many more characters in both categories, but I’ll slide these examples in here for now))

My personal brand of “Unhinged” or “Crazy” characters definitely leans on comedy. That’s what i enjoy seeing and reading! I personally like it because it can help keep a story fresh and interesting. There’s an element of surprise and unpredictability with what a character might do, and i love that!!

I also really enjoy a touch of feral behavior in my unhinged characters. The lack of clarity and the danger that imposes can be a very fun tool to use, no matter the character’s moral compass. (I’m feral for feral behavior lol)

And impulses. Whether a character has a few screws loose or is generally a goober, they like to act on impulses. This often goes hand-in-hand with comedy, and that’s something I enjoy!! We get a lot of moments like that in Rise, and that was one of my favorite parts of that TMNT iteration.

But as far as writing goes, it’s been tricky for me. All of the characters I grew up or love have been visual— trying to find a good balance for reading has been a puzzle I’ve been figuring out as I go.

I read a lot manga (lol nerd) and comics, and I love how thoughts/dialog are depicted. Especially the really dramatic or impactful moments. (I’d add examples but I’m already at the Tumblr image limit LAME)

As strange as it sounds, I try to capture that “impactful visual” style in my writing. If I had ANY advice on writing unhinged characters, pay attention to pacing—

Short. Fast. A calculating thought. Perhaps a run on sentence that lacks punctuation to represent the rushing and disorganized thought process. A question? An answer with little thought. Is this moment amusing; describe how. Is it upsetting; describe how. Are the thoughts starting to scatter? M aybe s o…

Big moment statement.

Action or plan of next big move. Flow should never seem too uniform. Even in normal writing. Don’t be afraid of accentuating— but don’t overdo it. Remember, unhinged characters are impulsive. Have fun with that.

Just as a quick and dirty summary— when it comes to unhinged characters, I like to use comedy, feral behavior, and acting on impulses. I also like to keep it as visually appealing as possible for characters to give the eyes a little treat after reading walls of text. I like to use fun text formatting to help with the fun too (But don’t overdo it! Don’t make it feel like a chore to read) (<- says the girl who goes into way too much details sometimes lmao whoops)

But ultimately— have FUN!!! Unhinged characters are fun, so make sure you have fun writing/drawing/creating them!!

hello!!

I saw you in the tags of a Rose Wilson post saying you’d read all her comics and could give recs/talk about her dynamics with the bats and titans👀👀👀

(I know very little about her but would 100% like to know more,,,,, so, no pressure to answer this, but if you do— what d’you think are some of her most interesting dynamics/relationships with the bats?)

she intrigues me :)

She intrigues me!

Origin story/Villain arc (Teen Titans 7-12): Rose under her father's influence as an antagonist

Dick Grayson (Nightwing 112-117): Dick helps Rose get to a point where she can leave her father's influence, I think this is arguably the most influential relationship in her life because he's the person who got her out of her abusive family dynamic, he's the one who helped her, this comes up again in Deathstroke 2016 where she brags about being trained by Nightwing. He continues to mean a lot to her although she'll never admit the full extent

Cass Cain: Rose's first interaction with Cass is indirect - she and her father impersonate Batman and Batgirl in Teen Titans 22-23, they meet in Batgirl 63-64 when Rose under Slade's influence fights Cass and Cass notes explicit parallels between herself and Rose, both in their parental dynamics and in the similarities between Rose's immediate precognition and Cass's body language reading, Rose is then involved in the fallout from the "evil Cass" arc where Cass was taken by Deathstroke, drugged, and manipulated in a similar way to Rose's own trauma. This arc concludes in Batgirl 2008. They are narrative foils, they are tentative allies turned hesitant friends, they've even stabbed each other. In conclusion I ship it but they haven't interacted much outside of Elseworlds in 15 years

Jason: Jason and Rose meet in issue 47 of Teen Titans, she flirts the way she does with everyone in the run, it develops into a consistent dynamic, they'll meet again post-reboot in Red Hood and the Outlaws 38-40 which establishes that some part of that dynamic remains intact, she's working as a mercenary and he's doing his outlaw thing, they fight, they flirt, she's in contact with him as of Robin 2021, helps him out in Man Who Stopped Laughing and offers further assistance in Gotham War Red Hood. I tend to think of them as somewhere between platonic life partners and mlm wlw solidarity/hostility but they're very commonly shipped including by canon writers

Tim: in this household we do not acknowledge Teen Titans 35, we skip over it completely, Rose and Tim have a relationship built on him distrusting but tolerating her presence on the Titans, although they eventually build a good dynamic as teammates over the course of Robin/Teen Titans/Red Robin. This hasn't really been followed up on since the reboot, as Rose hasn't been on the Titans since then.

Damian: Rose meets Damian in Teen Titans 2003 88-92, when Dick sends the new Robin to the Titans to make friends, she adopts a sibling dynamic with him early on, something that is picked back up in Robin 2021, where she looks after him during the Lazarus Tournament, they also interact in Deathstroke 2016 and Shadow War. They've pretty consistently been written as understanding each other and having a sibling-ish dynamic

Steph: they've only interacted in Man Who Stopped Laughing 9-12 but it's a fun interaction and I think they should be written as friends more often.

Bruce: he primarily interacts with her in Deathstroke 2016, and all around his fairly condescending in this, but he does encourage her to choose a different life path and get away from Slade.

Selina: The Rose issue of Catwoman (62) is not great, but it does establish that Selina cares enough about Rose to check up on her after Gotham War, something no one else has done in canon.

Rose has no real canon dynamics with any of the other Bats, although she's been in issues with Oracle.

Elseworlds

Future State: Dead or Alive story, Rose and Jason are partners and sometimes lovers. Some fun moments especially for Rose's precognitive powers but shaky characterization where she's concerned.

DCeased: in post-zombie apocalypse earth, Rose, Jason, Cass, and others are teamed up to survive and protect a group of children. This series has one of my all-time favorite Cass moments, plus Jason and Rose are married and tragic. Rose gets a few good lines and her precognition shines but she and Cass don't interact as much despite sharing panels which loses some points for me.

Bonus

Roy Harper: Rose lived with Roy, Lian, and the Titans and acted as Lian's nanny in the pre-Ravager days (Titans 26-39). This is actually how she met the Titans.

Some replies about both TWST and other fandoms.

unofficialwheatdog asked:

Deuce got two hands, he can hold Jack's and Ace's hands! That's what you meant, right?

Right?

Yes, this is exactly what I meant!

Even though with how Ace acts sometimes, there is this inkling to say that both of Deuce’s hands should be used to hug Jack tighter lol But nah, we love ADeuce a lot <3

Thoughts on DC media or Batman?

We used to kind of like it for a period of time 10+ years ago! We still prefer DC over Marvel overall, but we haven’t watched or read anything related to either for a very long time. Superheroes just aren’t our cup of tea.

But back when we were into it, we liked Batman and Robins, especially Tim Drake.

Important question not related to TWST.

Have you seen an anime called Bobobo?

Nope, but I heard that it’s good. No idea about what it is about though.

Anonymous asked:

lol maybe Chenya is the one that helped Trey lose his virginity. He set him up with some random RSA classmate of his, "That way even you're bad at it, you won't have to see eachother everyday!"

You know, Anon, this sounds exactly like something Che’nya would do lol Trey would absolutely try to politely decline such a kind (weird) offer, but somehow would end up hooking up with that random RSA student and never contacting him again... Maybe he is a villain after all. 😔

Anonymous asked:

By certain Diasomnia boy, were you speaking about Lilia’s ? Where one eye was trying to run away from the other?

(related to a reply about bad anatomy on twst cards)

OH THAT ONE LOL I was actually speaking about Malleus, but yeah, the one you’re talking about is also kind of weak, at least in the face area... Such a bummer, honestly.

Anonymous asked:

I too would love to read a detective book written by Riddle 👀

He would be so stupidly good at writing these, I just know it. He just needs to let his creative juices flow...

Anonymous asked:

I was kind of surprised when you mentioned that some fans are angry for the Tweels having pecks + abs, so I scrolled through the tags and not even 1 minute of scrolling did I find posts  crying about how weird it is for some people to sexualize and/or lust over the new cards of the Tweels. In such moments, I just want to bash my head against the wall because sometimes I think  some fans tend to forget what kind of game they're playing! The game literally sexualizes itself! It's supposed to be fanservice!

....I can't do this anymore BIG SIGH

Yeah, it’s either that or they’re just baiting for attention, I honestly can’t believe people can be this stupid sometimes.

I feel like we keep coming back to this conversation over and over again, but still: harassing people over finding anime boys sexy isn’t the way to interact with a piece of media, especially if it’s specifically made for people to swoon over the boys (the fujo way or the yume way – doesn’t matter).

You know how Terry never got to meet Alfred in Batman Beyond? What if we could change that 💃✨️ how? Time travel shenanigans~

What if a villain wanted to play around with time travel and mess with the batman, choosing to do so by capturing Robin (Damian) in the present, and switching him with the future Robin, Matt (Terry's little brother or my personal OC, if you ever want to hear about her 👀). This causes a whole lot of drama and stress for both batfams of the past and future, but are determined to return things to normal asap.

Terry can't stand Damian when he was younger and full of angry smol energy, and Damian, while trying to find a way back home, is struggling to understand how Terry, a complete outsider to the batfam, became worthy of being batman above anyone else. This also becomes a brief hot topic of debate in the past with the other batfam and future Robin, who is making their existence there everyone else's problem.

Eventually, Terry gets along with young Damian, and Bruce works efficiently with future Robin (whoever they are), that they find their ways back to each other and beat up the bad guy. They all officially meet, and due to a time travel cool down, chill in the past inside Wayne Manor. Where they can all share Intel and some peace after the hectic event they went through. Terry answers vague questions about the future, and gets to meet Alfred for the first time, and he is happy that his Bruce had him in his life for so long. Near the end, I imagine he asks Alfred for a scone recipe that was lost, and makes it for his Bruce in the future. The end.

Aaah, I was typing and lost the main reason I was writing this ask in the first place, but here is my midnight rambling ✨️

I ADORE time travel shenanigans! And Terry is such a perfect person to travel through time to see these different, younger versions of the people he knows (and meet some people like Alfred that he had only ever heard about through stories).

I imagine Terry is a little weirded out by some of their younger counterpoints, and I definitely agree that Damian is probably the strangest for him to see, especially since Damian would be close to Matt's age.

I bet he is surprised by just how much Alfred does for the family and the influence he has on them (mainly Bruce). Terry and Alfred get along great, both stubborn with a take no shit attitude, though Terry cannot understand his need to stick to his butler role. Alfred for his part probably listens well. Terry might feel more comfortable talking about certain things (while talking around spoilers for the future) since it's a bit weird with the others. (it could be so sweet!)

And Terry making scones for future Bruce 😭😭😭

It would be such a good bonding experience for them. And it could be fun for Terry to realize that Bruce knows certain things due to the time travel mix ups. It would be so sweet!

Thanks for the ask! I love this!
