Dismissing faults in characters isn’t the way to go; instead, acknowledging those faults and dealing with them is absolutely is the better way to go from a story perspective.

From a discussion of me arguing that dc should bring back some of the morally incorrect/no longer politically accurate actions some heroes and villains made back in the 80s-90s & that they wiped under the rug during resets instead of dealing with them and making it an interesting story.

Thank you for the tag!

Last sentence tag game

RULES: Post the last sentence you wrote (fanfic / original / anything) and tag as many people as there are words in the sentence.

Tagged by @lurkingshan and I haven't really written anything in a bit, so have a little peak at the latest entry into my always growing notes app

And in the end, heroes and villains don't matter, because only the strongest survive.

Tagging @dimplesandfierceeyes, @waitmyturtles, and @anixknowsnothin to play, no pressure of course!

#seeing heroes suddenly lose their womanizer troupes #or past writers’ racist characterizations (joker #like the joker being the Iranian ambassador to the UN and the extremely islamaphobic depictions of ppl as them just kinda..#going along with him. KEEP JOKER BEING AN AMBASSADOR AND JUST REWRITE HOW THE IRANIAN PPL ARE DEPICTED!#YOU CAN KEEP SOME OF THE BAD SHIT! THATS OKAY!#Show heroes in flashbacks that were depicted by past writers as treating drug users as villains themselves #and have them go through an experience that makes them realize they are the victims and not the villains!#Have womanizer characters get the sense knocked into them and grow and learn from their mistakes!#bones replies #bones rants in the tags #have characters grow from mistakes. don’t wipe characterizations clean of bad traits that defined their character for so long #have the characters grow and learn to THEN become the newer version of the character #keep character growth from past runs by not resetting them from a past run and have them deal with character flaws instead of going #the ‘sudden new characterization’ route many reboots of characters fall for #also. also #I desperately NEED a comic run dealing with the fact that booster gold stopped the asassination of Ronald Regan.#because we point a good chunk of current issues in the US to that bitch. they didn’t know that when the comic was written #it was simply who the US president was at the time.#but now that the future has progressed we can go ‘uh oh. that actually was an awful idea in hindsight.’#and DONT CHANGE THAT! MAKE THAT DECISION MAKE SENSE!#booster have a minirun where he sees what happens if he DIDNT stop that asassination and how it was the actual worse option #anyways I accidentally wrote an essay in the tags. my b. I’ll quit while im ahead #(also they should deal with Superboy being essentially a child star and being taken advantage by many important ppl in his life like tana #knockout and his fucking manager. also reverse the TT03 making him Luthor’s clone too. Paul Westfield was a good antagonist bring him back)
