#fic: why if not for nothing

It’s very humbling when you’re reading a book —part of a trilogy, very acclaimed— and the only thing you can think of is ‘the fanfic I read the other day was better’
#like#nothing against the book of course#but I figured out the plot twist about 20 pages in#the chemistry between the MC and the love interest just wasn’t being very chemistry-y#and the plot wasn’t even that great when I compared it to the absolute MASTERPIECE I found on ao3 the other day#yes it was a sterek fic#of course there are books that are very good. this just wasn’t one of them and I struggled understanding why it’s so popular#on reading#patolemus speaks#ao3#fanfic

Prompt 162
“So,” Danny drawled from where he was sitting, legs kicking slightly. Really, what a fun reincarnation. A world with heroes and villains where he didn’t have to do shit in and could just vibe with Ellie.
“So,” Tim responded from where he was typing on his computer, mostly in civilian clothes save for his gauntlets and boots. The Red Robin outfit was haphazardly dropped across the couch and his pole leaning against the end.
“Technically there’s proper procedures for clones…” Danny motioned to both himself and Ellie from where they sat on the counter, snacking on a plateful of scones. From Alfred, he was certain.
“Technically, yes… but do we want to actually do that?”
All three of them smiled, something almost feral in the motion. Of course not. They all had the same memories after all, and Bruce had just returned from the past, from exactly where and when Tim had said he was. Despite no one believing him, hence why they were in his boathouse, and not in the apartment or manor.
“Think we can pull it off?” Ellie took a sip of tea, mischief swirling in her eyes.
“Of course we can.” Both Danny and Tim spoke at once, one pulling up a new doc and the other pulling the whiteboard out from under a curtain.
#dcxdp#dpxdc#prompts#danny fenton#ellie fenton#tim drake#Ras: *Makes Tim Clones*#Danny & Ellie: Lmao we’re gonna blow up this place and go- buh-bye now~#All three of them are salty about the whole time-travelling thing#Tim: Why is one of my clones a girl?#Ellie: Idk man but I’m not changing#Tim: Fair enough do u want me to make you guys proper IDs#They’re going to do mischief and make the Batfam think they’ve always been triplets#They have the paper trail to prove that the Drakes had triplets#Neither Danny or Ellie have powers but that isn’t going to stop them#Nothing can go wrong ever they’re sure#Why yes this is inspired by the Ao3 fic Twincognito Mode#Why YES Bruce does in fact think he somehow adjusted the timeline#And Yes Clockwork does do a little nudge to make their IDs & history *pretty* solid#He's back in Long Now eating popcorn and watching his new favorite show

The absolute hilarious thing (not really) is that I genuinely think they tried to make it so we’d feel bad for Buck and be pissed at Tommy. But they screwed that up so badly by making Tommy incredibly likable and flawed and sad and lonely, and making Buck so he kinda worships Tommy and the ground he walks on without ever seeing beneath the “cool” exterior. So you’re left understanding Tommy’s reasoning a little bit (even through flawed writing) and you’re desperate to see how it impacts him.
Maybe it’s just how much Lou put into every single fucking scene he did throughout his run, maybe his little micro expressions and unscripted touches added to all of it, I don’t know. All I know is, I’ve seen Buck’s circle of emotions so many times, and I’m far more interested in seeing things through Tommy’s eyes, whether they ever got back together or not.
#bucktommy#911#tommy kinard#evan buckley#lou ferrigno jr#that’s what my fic is for I guess#I’ll never understand why tv shows create side characters that are far more interesting than mains#and then treat them like nothing

I've seen a lot of different takes on Fear Toxin/other fear causing stuff (Yellow Lanterns Ring or something)(later just called Fear Toxin cause I'm lazy) but here is another one.
Danny seems like he isn't affected by Fear Toxin because his biggest fear is that his accident changed him so much he is no longer human, he can no longer truly experience human things.
So when he gets lungful of fear Toxin, he feels normal. He was antsy before, because c'mon, it's a rogue attack but it's not worse. Or so he thought. Because the anxiety lingers. Not enough to register as abnormal just this slight hypervigilance that makes you see things about yourself and your surroundings that you'd never realize otherwise. He'd realize he doesn't blink as often. He'd realize that if he doesn't consciously focus, he sometimes seems to not touch the ground. Forgets to breathe. He can't feel his own pulse at time. He'd realize people will miss him when he's walking down the street as if he was invisible (people just don't care about everyone they pass by). When he'd look straight into his reflection, he'd look slightly to the left. Not enough to actually name anything that was wrong but just stretched enough to fall on the wrong side of the uncanny valley. If he just caught his reflection in the peripheral vision, it'd be vaguely shadowy creature with glowing green eyes and white smoke instead of hair. Overall he'd be just wrong enough to be distinctly not human.
For everyone else, he'd be just a dude. Literally couldn't find more normal dude than this dude. Will pass as absolutely normal human unless someone is specifically looking for ecto-ghost stuff. Even most magic users wouldn't clock him at the glance
Tldr: Fear Toxin makes Danny perceive himself as some sort of eldritch horror but not enough to make him believe he'd actually be affected, while from outside perspective he's Just A Dude™
#dpxdc#dc x dp#dp x dc#dcxdp#fear toxin#please no Ghost King#nothing against this au but i don't think it'll mesh well woth this idea#probably works best with danny soon after accident#maybe still believing all of his parents anti-ghost propaganda#that'd add to angst for sure#idk why he is somewhere where he could be affected#idk who would realize something is wrong#up to whoever wants to do expand on this prompt#he'd cry when someone tells him he's been in fact affected by fear causing thing#because this means he *is* human and while he was fundamentally changed by his death#it didn't fully get rid of his humanity#but he won't tell that too busy being relieved so whoever delivered the news would be in for the ride#actually it'd be cool if it was someone who has superpowers but they showed up later in their life#parallels y'know#... i may still not be normal about “i wonder what could lie beyond infinity” by Numinous_Scribe on ao3...#top notch fic go read it great Clark characterization#anyway because plot kinda escaped me#hope this idea scratches someone's creative braincell or something#im curious what y'all will make out of it#yellow lantern#have a nice day dear stranger who got to this part

So it's kinda interesting how Jinx is basically Caitlyn's own extremely malevolent genie. Every desire she has, Jinx fulfills, but with such a cruel twist that it almost defeats the point.
Want something new and exciting in your sheltered life? Well, one might say nearly getting blown up is pretty exciting. Looking for a real job to undertake? Here's a convenient pile of evidence leading you straight to the heart of a criminal empire. Good luck getting out of this mess though. Coworkers making you feel excluded? They can't do that now; they're dead. Longing to see Vi again? Don't worry. You will be taken to her, like it or not. Mum being too restrictive? Never again!
It's no wonder Jinx is associated with monkeys when her role in the show is ensuring a monkey's paw curls any time Caitlyn has a vague inclination towards something.
#Cait: man I could really go for some ice cream right now#Jinx: *rams an ice cream truck into her house‚ killing six people*#tbh I'd love to read a crack fic where Jinx genuinely adores Cait and is doing everything she can to please her#but it changes nothing about her actions or the plot at all#she's just really bad at helping people#and of course it's pretty much certain this pattern will continue into Season Two#with Cait's revenge quest completed at a much higher price than it was worth#probably her relationship with Vi or her humanity. or both! why not both#Arcane#Caitlyn#Jinx

can we as a society please stop calling Dazai the “demon prodigy” like it’s canon??? IM BEGGING
his canon nickname is so underused too… i mean c’mon, the “black wraith of the Port Mafia??” idk if i’ve ever even seen it used in a fic 😭
#ok sorry just had to get this off my chest bc a piece of me dies every time i hear him called the demon prodigy#this is /lh but PLEASE#ofc if that’s the characterization you’re going for in a fic or something that’s totally different#thats why the demon prodigy Dazai tag on ao3 exists#people hear demon prodigy and think Dazai was a demon. like the demonest demon. when in reality the mafia is referred to as a den of demons#Dazai was not worse than everyone else. he was just propped up to LOOK that way and did nothing to fight the allegations#bc if everyone’s already convinced why try to change their minds???#but if you’re gonna call him something at least use his canon nickname 😭#the wraith nickname fits his reputation so much better anyway. a doorman of death. eerie & almost otherworldly in others’ eyes#rambling about bsd again#bsd#bungou stray dogs#bsd dazai#dazai osamu#bsd meta#bsd analysis

STFU about how people write their readers. damsels in distresses, hardasses, fighters, lovers, scaredy-cats—if you don’t like it, write it yourself, i’m sick of people getting angry about how a writer purposefully writes something.
#THATS WHAT THEY FUCKING WANTED TO DO !!!!!!!!!!#SO THE FIC ISNT FOR YOU THEN#like ????#i can write my reader however i want why are we debating how they SHOULD be written?#its FICTION#there’s no fucking rules#if i want to make my reader a damsel in distress getting saved every time#that’s my business and i can do what i want and there’s nothing wrong with that#GODDDDD when are you people gonna learn that fiction is what we want it to be? 🤠🔪#anyways

My favourite kind of Gendrya fic is either a reunion or post-reunion fic or a relationship reveal fic of any kind where Gendry and Arya obviously seem to know each other and Jon is just stood there watching them like:
#he’s always so confused why his favourite sister and his new blacksmith bestie are so familiar with each other#it’s usually sandor who reveals it too just because he finds it funny or tormund lmao#arya is like “uh I knew him first back off”#the gendrya ao3 tag mixed with the jon snow knows nothing ao3 tag is a gift#when the confusion turns to protectiveness it means the fic is amazing#game of thrones#a song of ice and fire#got#asoiaf#game of thrones memes#got memes#memes#jon snow#arya stark#gendry waters#gendry baratheon#gendrya#gendry x arya#arya x gendry

i'd like to think no matter where he's at in his life, dottore likes to ramble as he works.
no matter if he's prime, or the more ill-tempered scholar from the akademiya or even omega build, dottore quietly mumbles as a habit when he's working.
some things he says aloud are just to commit certain details to memory. in the grander scheme of his plans, the details seem small-- but they hold a crucial grip on the entire project. because of this, dottore reasons that the habit holds its merits.
sometimes, he makes sarcastic remarks when something doesn't go well. short, choppy words that mostly go unheard even by those in his general vicinity. when you first worked under him, he had mumbled to himself like usual (it was second nature at that point). what he hadn't expected though, were your responses.
"stupid thing tightly screwed--"
"do you need a wrench, sir?"
before he could respond, you had one held and ready to hand to him. from then on, you would help him out here and there in his more foul moods and dottore would be lying if he said the additional assistance wasn't helpful.
the mad scientist had found an adequate assistant.
work went by smoother, toning down a good portion of his irritation. it's almost as if having someone to support you (even if it was strictly for work purposes) provided more benefits than he had originally thought. of course, he would never admit that. the most he would do is thank you here and there when you proved to be extra useful.
work continues the same for a while. the interactions grow more frequent and so his musings change from your responses. instead of talking to himself, he talks to you. he asks you for your input, for you to pass him whatever he can't reach from his other desk, he asks for you.
that is, until you're gone one day.
dottore doesn't think anything of it. he's worked alone for his whole life, what's a few days without you? but his segments have been more irritable as of late, resulting in lackluster performance as a whole not only from his segments, but his troops. the fatui are fearful of the doctor, but even more so of an irritated one. you'll turn up eventually and everything will be back to normal, he reasons.
but as the days go on, you are still nowhere to be found in the cold, desolate laboratory. he finally pauses in his work to think about where you could be.
something must've happened. something outside of his jurisdiction. it's not like it's his problem. you might've proved a useful assistant to him, but his work holds utmost priority.
yes, work. back to work.
and dottore mumbles as usual, but it's not the same.
by habit, he calls out for you to hand him something--
but you're not there.
dottore is a scholar first and foremost. all it takes to find you is a little bit of research, so he does exactly that. he finds out you've been working somewhere else, somewhere closer to home to better support your family.
well, that's no problem. he'll have his assistant back as soon as possible, no matter the cost. all he needed to know was your whereabouts.
#dottore x reader#il dottore x reader#i am posting doctor doctor the doctor#dottore brainrot#the rot consumes me#i will begin to cough in 3 days#dottore save me (lobotomy for me!!!!!)#i need more dottore fics#the prideful arrogant mad scientest archetype#THAT is dottore#and he's a yandere#cue the hunt for reader!!!#except he does it all with his segments and no one else because why would he need anyone else's help#imagine him sending out his 10000 ruin guard drones or whatever like “SEIZE THEM”#pix rambles#drabble#not proofread#actually. sent that last sentence to my friend like “do i write was or were” and she said was BUT THAT'S IT!! nothing else
