#its not a bad story

[hubble-bubble]

So I'm rereading an unfinished but far along fanfic, whose last update was on rewriting the whole thing before continuing, which is fine. However, this is the first time I revisited it in a while, and the change is noticeable. They talked about doubling the length of their chapters from all the rework, but it feels overloaded with details. Every action is described to death and it feels clunky.

I'm a bit sad they didn't just leave it to rewrite a new story, but I ultimately know it's the author's story and I have no say in it.

I'll never say anything to them about it, but it feels like I'm mourning what the story used to be. It's so much harder to read now.

I'll get over myself in like an hour, but I just needed to get this off of my chest.

DC x DP Prompt: Bruce is bad at emoting but at least ghosts are empathic (too bad bat kids are not)

Was reading Twincognito on AO3 when I stumbled across this gem again:

~

" “Danny, Tim. I was just…checking in. Is everything alright?” Curse his inability to make meaningful conversation when it wasn’t a life or death situation.

They glanced at each other and shrugged.

Then Danny hauled himself out of the bed and walked over to Bruce.

Bruce tried not to let too much excitement show on his face. "

~

Now I really want to read a story where Bruce adopts Danny post Meta trafficking and is being his usual emotionally constipated self. His kids keep getting mad at him because he's treating their new meta brother who was trafficked poorly (generally being stilted in conversation with him, walking away hurriedly mid-conversation, avoiding Danny when he's feeling really awkward, etc). They think Bruce is discriminating against Danny for being a civilian, meta, dealer's pick, but really it's just Bruce being horribly socially awkward. Danny knows this because of ghost empathy and find the whole thing hilarious. The whole thing comes to a head with the Bat Kids staging an intervention in the Bat Cave.

Read Chapter 12 Here!

The group is reunited, though tensions are a little high and trust has been worn thin. Everyone wants answers, but when the Daycare Attendant returns from Moon’s patrol, all they bring with them are more questions. Protocol. Programming. If the puzzle doesn’t make sense, are you sure you have the right pieces?

Ouugh, it's finally done! I sketched out this cover about a year ago, but their clasped hands gave me a ton of trouble and I shelved it-- until a couple of months ago, when I just banged out the hands and then kept rolling from there!

There's a decent bit of symbolism related to the chapter worked in here, as well as a lot of me learning how water works. Detail shots + textless versions below!

Rex, a few weeks after Anaxes: Hey, guys.

Hunter: Plan 87! Keep Away!

Crosshair and Tech: *turn into bodyguards*

Wrecker: *snatches Echo off his feet and holds him in the air*

Echo: *completely unfazed* Hi, Rex.

Rex: What on earth are you doing?

Wrecker: No backsies! You gave him away so he’s ours now!

Echo: They think you’re gonna repossess me or something.

Rex:

Rex: Echo, are you okay? Do you need help? Blink twice if you need help.

Echo: I’m loved, Rex. Slightly squished, but very loved.

(This is actually it's own fic now.... Plan 87: Keep Away.)

I love you albums. I love you songs connected by similar themes. I love you listening to songs in a specific order picked by the artist. I love you reoccurring motifs throughout the same album. I love you album covers. I love you albums with extended editions. I love you songs that reference each other.

why do we bash "kingslayer" jaime lannister for the regicide but we never question if the mad king had bad vibes? Or if he was just unpleasant to be around

something something the main cargo of the tulbar being mouthwash and its main advertising slogan being 'kills 99% of germs without leaving a bad taste'

something something Jimmy desperate to remove the rest of the crew and his mistakes, so far as to try and crash the ship so he doesn't have to face what he did to Anya, killing 99% of germs and bacteria everyone and himself so he won't have to face the bad taste in his mouth consequences of it all

something something eating curly to survive, feeding curly to himself to survive, the fact that human cannabalism infects you in a way you can't heal (prion disease), something something mouthwash will rinse it out, something something have your terrible actions and the consequences they bring without feeling guilty if you just wash it down with delusions mouthwash

something along those lines

i really can not stand the “fandom is so fun we’re all just projecting and making shit up” thing. because no i actually deeply admire the canon of my favorite media and all the intention and care and craft put into it. we are not the same.

I see a post about how JK Rowling's goblins are antisemitic. I click on the person's blog. Their blog is filled with Holocaust inversion, MENA Jewish genocide denial, Hamas support, political "takes" from Twitter bitches with the red triangle in their usernames. I click out and block.
