Hello Hello

I come in search of thoughts on what makes a good angst, in your opinion - Percy

Hellooo! So to answer this I’m gonna be all over the place in terms of where we’re talking about making angst.

The Connection and History:

So one thing is for certain the connections the characters have with each other but also the reader's connection to the characters! That's what really makes it hit, and original pieces that harder to do than with fanfiction in most cases.

(great example why we read and write so much of it)

Original pieces need more layers to bring the readers to the level where you will affect them, while with fanfiction we already care, that's why we’re there. (and for the dopamine that floods us when reading)

Being able to convey that history without explaining it as an info dump is important, and not just for angst, that's just for any type of story!

Attention to Details:

Now this one is heavily a “my opinion” one. The attention to details and how that attention is brought.

Now details when making a story can be anything, from a theme to symbolism. Or sometimes it’s just that one character remembered something that's so small about them but jesus christ you remembered that one thing I have to remind everyone else or no one has ever seemed to notice.

One great example that has made me emotional 😒 is @starry-bi-sky Clone^2 AU, she has talked about it a lot, but the significance of Danny’s hands, the scars on them. (Spoilers, I suppose I should mention)

What they mean, yeah in the moment, in every moment, it’s Danny kinda being a dumbass and catching this tiny Dami’s blade in his hands. But down the line, it shows how he didn't give up, how he wasn't fighting the small child but fighting for him. Fighting for his future.

There’s plenty of posts written by Starry about the hands and other moments between them. The significance of the hands is already emotional, now add in connection and history.

For that AU the Damian and Danny we follow are clones of Damian Wayne and Bruce Wayne (DC), so we have that, but Danny is still Danny Fenton (Danny Phantom).

There are layers to the connections the reader has to these characters, Bruce and Damian being characters that have thousands of hours worth of content for you to somehow grow connected. Damian has been cloned before in Cannon and killed by that clone, so the drama of that is enough to make you want to hold your breath.

Now Danny Phantom has history with clones, Dani Phantom. You already have Danny’s experience with them and the idea of them. But then Starry makes Danny a clone of B, and he has to come to terms with that, and soon following that is a clone of the guy’s kid??

There's a quite a bit going here, and it works. We have established care for the characters, now we add a few layers of cannon fuckery, then something to focus on: Danny’s dilemma of taking in his reality (which I didn't get into), and Danny’s hands representing his immediate dedication to Damian.

Another example of his dedication is him learning Arabic and teaching Damian English, lord I love them helpp😭

So conclusion,

It doesn't matter what you choose to do, it's how you focus on it. How is it significant to the story or characters? What are the possible lasting effects? And of course, does this make sense?

Just ask how it fits with the characters or story, whether its a one-shot or multi-chapter.

Thank you for the ask, I loved this, it made me think ^-^

Oh wow you really want to put Jason through it with that first one lol 🥲

I love The Flash!! I’ve never finished it but keep trying. That would be such a cute one-shot/two-shot to do! Those Flash vs Arrow are always some of my favorites from the universe.

That sounds like such a fun fix to make, I can also see it being more cracky if you ignore the murders. Make it a mix of crack and angst.

Thank you for sharing!! <3

Have you ever imagined Alley Cat in the scenarios of other movies and shows?

*Wheeze* Have I ever *trails off* Oh. Serious question.

SPOILERS FOR (in order): - Criminal Minds season Eight - The Flash season One - Disturbing Behavior

Lets start with episode twelve of season eight of Criminal Minds: Zugzwang Quick summary of the episode/following episodes: Spencer Reid, a Behavioral Analyst for the FBI. He is slightly paranoid that he may have schizophrenia (like his mother) and so he frequently calls in to talk about his symptoms. He finds out that Maeve Donovan, the doctor/specialist he's been talking to has been being stalked for a long time. Blah blah blah, stalker kidnaps her, Reid freaks, solves puzzles to save her, SHE GETS KILLED BECAUSE STALKER KILLED THEMSELVES AND HER TOO, and Reid has a vicious mourn session.

I wanna see Jason crying over Adrien's dead body because Marinette or Chloe or some other person was so obsessed over him. I wanna see Tim hugging Jason because he knew that Jason doesn't love just anyone, and that Jason was hard to love back. I want Bruce to be supportive of his son dating a guy he only met because he made a few calls to the hospital. Yes, I want Adrien to work as a Neurologist. Has my dude ever said what he wanted to do? No. He's a neurologist. I want to see Jason mournfully informing everyone Adrien knew of his death and then beating Gabriel up for not caring. I want to see Jason struggle past drug use. I want to see Jason pull himself from the field because he can't save everyone, and while he knew that, it hurts so much more, because he thought he could. I want to see him BEG Talia to throw Adrien's attacker into the Lazarus Pit so that he himself can kill them brutally. I want to see autistic anxious mess chess lover Jason mourn a love he never really got to see. Because yes, Jason's first time ever seeing Adrien's face was when it was at gunpoint for the final time.

Secondly, episode eight of season one of The Flash: Flash vs. Arrow

This one's mostly just crack. I want to see Jason have magical rage and try to beat Adrien's Red Hood Hater of a friend up. Does it work? Nah, Chat Noir stops him, happy ending, maybe some cuddles. I don't have near as much thoughts as I do with the first one, unfortunately.

Lets try our hand at a movie, Disturbing Behavior Our little summary is this: New girl at isolated school, cliques and stuff, suddenly everyone's a stickler for the rules. Why? Implants. Why? MCR Explained it well enough. Here's the thing. Teenagers are horny. When the implanted kids have any sexual impulses, they murder the object of their affections. The island becomes a death trap for this girl, her new friend, and her other new friend. Other new friend 100% gets implanted because writers are predictable. They get off the island, other new friend somehow escapes, but we don't get a sequel.

I want to see Adrien move to a Gotham school and watch it lose it's shit. I want Hatter to somehow worm his way into teaching at Gotham Academy because he's... I'm not going to go there, and kids starting to RANDOMELY turn around on their heels from delinquent to teacher's pet to murderer overnight. I want to see Tim (skipped a few grades) be Adrien's friend (Insert Jason as love interest because I loooove a good protective older bro Jason), and Bernard, Mr. Conspiracy theorist, is other friend. Yes, other friend, the one who does weed and then gets implanted. I want to see them struggle to fight their friends in costume until they find out what's going on. I want to see a few of them kidnapped by Hatter (who was experimenting alongside Hugo Strange in Arkham) and narrowly escape. I want to see. Them. Get. Mind. Controlled. Kinda. Because I want the angst.

It's something AM, I'll reblog more when brain works.

YOU!!! 🫵 YOU’RE THE ONE PUTTING JELSA ON MY DASH!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🎉

all the way back when all those disney crossovers were happening i only ever saw glimpses of them because i didn’t really have an online presence, but they intrigued me to no end. so getting to see some of the wonderful content i’ve missed (for a thing i forgot that i loved) is very wonderful and nostalgia inducing (in the best way) <3

HELLO, IM HAPPY YOUR HAPPY ABOUT MY SUDDEN JELSA HIGH! AND IM SO GLAD TO BE OF SERVICE 🫶

I see you in my notifications, and it makes me happy to see. It’s even fun to see the speed at which you’ve done it. That fic, “more than you know” by callimara and therentyoupay is wonderful 10/10, I was just crying over the update from tonight??? But before that watch callimara’s video because it has the first two acts, and her art and designs mdnfhhfjd that was the catalyst to all these jesla reblogs! (also they link the fanart made for the fic in the notess…..) (I just really wanted to share that)

I really get that, I didn't have accounts and was very young when the most active of it was happening. When I did find out properly about it I was just looking through google images until I went on youtube via the links of those images when I was older.

I'm happy to bring it to you!

HEeeeeeelp me, my WIPs are rising up. They've gotten their pitchforks and torches and are threatening to kill me. Unfortunately, they feel forgotten. All 94 of them.

I advice trying to negotiate with the WIPs. Here’s a sword just in case things get out of hand: 🗡
