ok but what if Johnny became withdrawn and overly emotional and struggled with understanding and trusting people but Janae became hyper-aware of his surroundings and peoples feelings and poured all his time into learning seismology as a distraction from their parents neglect and forcing them to play football-

like let’s say those qualities were always there but their parents just made it stronger-

i love when sibling characters are fucked up from the same event but in opposite ways

Why is it so hard to find ppl that actually understand bruce? I am tired of either finding ppl that see him as an abuser or others that only love wfa version of him I am really tired of this like really I can't even join a Fandom without getting my favorite character not getting mischaracterized left and right 😔

I'm going to rant a little bit here, and I apologize in advance. This isn't really directed at you. But I'm kind of tired of this flavor of ask. I get it a lot -- half of these asks are praising me for having a "good" interpretation of canon, and the other half are blasting me for being too "fanon" and bending too much to fandom tropes in my posts and writing. And of course the nonstop WFA hatred in my inbox is tiring.

Be the change you want to see in the world. If you don't like what the fandom is doing to your blorbo, write him your way. But sitting at the edge of the playpen complaining about how someone else is playing with their toys isn't useful. And it's really getting annoying to me, as a content creator.

I'm also tired of the superiority some canon-adherents have over those who write/draw more fanon tropes. So many of you are SO bitter over the idea that fandom is "ruining" Bruce or your other Batfamily blorbo because how DARE they write your blorbo in that way that is so OOC. How DARE they! And yet, you sit on the sidelines and create bitchy tumblr posts about how those fandom participants are stupid, or ill-informed, or simply don't have the higher thinking ability to understand your blorbo like you do.

And yet. You don't write Bruce the way you "enjoy." You don't create content or share posts or promote those canon characteristics you so highly value. Instead, you write posts complaining about the others in this fandom and deride them for being stupid like adhering to canon strictly somehow makes you better than anyone else. You mock their acceptance of fanon tropes as canon as if there is required reading in this fandom, entirely dismissing the idea that the line between DC fanon/canon is confusing as hell on a good day, and ignoring that the natural progression of engaging in fandom is finding out -- sometimes on your own timeline -- what actually happened in canon. Especially when canon is so vast.

And guess what? At the end of the day, we are all on the fandom website(s). You're still reading fanfiction at the end of the day. Canon or fanon or some blend of the in-between, you are still a fan participating in fandom content in some way or another. And we are all equal in that respect.

We are all here to enjoy these characters. Fanfiction is a medium that allows us to further explore canon, yes, But it is also a way to explore the OOC, the what-if's, the out of character but fandom-fave ideas and tropes people want. The fact that OTHER people enjoy those things should never impact your enjoyment of fandom.

If you cannot handle someone else playing with the same toys as you, but playing with them in a way you don't like, you need to go back to preschool. And if someone won't give you your toy back, find another one. Write the story. Create the post. Build your own engagement from the ground up, finding likeminded people if you can. They are definitely on here.

But I get the impression that when people complain about fanon "ruining" fandom, what they're actually saying is "I'm upset that canon content isn't as popular as fanon content." And that, I can't help you with. We can't always change what other people love or want to engage with.

I'm sorry that this rant is blunt, but it's been simmering inside me for a while. I'm really tired of getting and deleting this ask 15 times a day. You will not find much sympathy on this blog for canon purism and the derision of fanon/fandom, and for that I apologize. But it's the truth.

I enjoy consuming content about both "fanon" and canon Bruce. I like the contrast and complexities. But I have seriously had to stop following a ton of blogs in the last year who don't create "canon" content anymore and instead spend their time complaining about other people in the fandom who are just enjoying themselves and creating their own content. It's incredibly disheartening and frustrating.

Reason? Sorry, there isn't any. But actually just imagine. Post canon. They somehow managed to take Dukat out of Fire Caves with his mind fully recovered. What does he do? Or course, he immediately starts to flirt with the doctor who helped him to recover and treated him...

Happy Olivia & Yunan anniversary!! Hey wait a minute what the fuck is in my drafts

Stan never meant for it to get out. He never wanted Ford to get even the tiniest bit close to finding out this information. Not when they worked so hard to be where they were—on the Stan O’ War II, going on adventures and searching for anomalies together, well over a year now. A life of bliss for the two of them. Both of them, together, till the end of time. The point was, everything about Ford and Stan’s dynamic was about to change, and all because of a dumb fucking meddling elf. ~ After Stan tries to steal something from some mythological creatures, they put him under a truth spell so he and Ford can communicate. It doesn't go too well.

THE NISSE FIC IS COMPLETE!!! collapses.

Why I'm too terrified to post anything I've not finished already, after leaving people with forever-unfinished fanfics 15 years ago

Some of us really need to be doing “Finish That Fanfic We Haven’t Updated in a Year November” 💀
