Since people have submitted TRC characters: smash or pass Kavinsky.

Unfortunately yes I would smash especially in the era of my life when I first read the books. I am not immune to someone dangerous who disregards most of the world wanting to smash me, it's like the same reason why people read mafia romances. Like I know the sex won't be good and I know there's a nonzero chance he'll make me put a bag over my head and call me Ronan and I know he'll act like a sexist twat and give me no aftercare except for drugs but I will smash. It'll make my life worse in the long run but my legs will open for him.

I like my comics Jay hairy, but for some reason I always picture AK Jay as waxed (probably has something to do with vulnerability). BUT imagine mostly hairless AK Jay with a dark black happy trail and bushy black pubes........

(This post was inspired by @thenaphorism and @roysmilkers's hairy Jason discussion on Twitter 🔥🔥🔥)

WIP game

Tagged by @flower-sniffing-friend, thinks for thanking of me <3

word: TITAN

T -

There are other people in his life.

Between Bruce and Babs and Molly, he’s been rebuilding a lot of bridges in the aftermath of the Scarecrow attacks.

Except maybe that’s the problem, because wading through the wreckage of those relationships is exhausting. The dust might have settled, but the foundations are shaky. The bricks don’t fit quite the same way anymore. Every step is slow and measured and painfully careful.

It’s hasn’t been like that with Tim. (Titans!JayTim, Groomer Bernard)

I -

It’s been a long time since Jason sold himself as a commodity, and the setup is very different to how he remembers it. For one, the venue is a lot nicer. And he’s wearing significantly more clothes. (Brujay, post-utrh Bruce memory loss)

T -

There are house rules to living at the Dawkins Centre.

Not that there weren’t rules to crashing at Wayne Manor. Or surviving on the streets. Or getting through juvie. Or anywhere else, either, Jason guesses. But this feels different.

Mostly because this is... not a second chance, exactly – he thought he’d had that with Bruce, he thought he’d had it again with the Titans.

No, this time it’s different because it feels like maybe it’s a last chance. (Titans fix it, chapter 14)

A -

“And you’re just bitter that I’m better at this game than you,” Gar sniffs, but he loads up the Grannies level Jason wanted anyway.

“I’m not the one that keeps fuckin’ dying!”

“You just did, you lying bastard!” (Titans demi-JayGar)

N-

“Not looking so hot yourself,” Jason jokes, unbothered.

He slithers into the kitchen and fixes their cups of coffee. Adds milk to both, sugar to one, and then casually slides that second mug across the counter. 

Dick is irrationally annoyed that Jason apparently remembers how he takes his coffee, but doesn’t remember it’s gauche to steal another cape’s identity and fucking kill people in it. (JayDick BiB fic)

20 questions for fic writers

I was tagged by @ladytauria! Thank you, bb ❤️

How many works do you have on AO3?

46 total, with 1 of them being @generatorcat way more than mine!

What’s your total A03 word count?

276,196.

What fandoms do you write for?

DC only on this account! I keep my obsessions separate haha

What are your top five fics by kudos?

Pretty (3,335 kudos) -> My beloved first long child that I'm hoping to post the next chapter of some time in January! Aka dysmorphic JayTim mutual pining feat accidental bonding

Whiskers and Wonder Boys (2,993 kudos) -> Adorable baby boyfriends! Or the story of Robin Jason saving Selkie Tim from starvation

The Best Taste in Omegas (2,713 kudos) -> The one in which omega hormones are catnip for children, and Jason keeps finding stray kids in his nests.

The House Always Wins (2,622 kudos) -> Top Dom Tim Wrecks Jason's Ass After Winning a Bet: The Story.

Mother Knows Best  (2,107 kudos) -> The reason why I will never beat the mommy kink allegations, aka Jason overcoming his kink shame with Dom Tim's help.

Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

As much as I'm able to! I love to receive comments so I try my best to answer, but sometimes time just runs from me and it's either answering comments or writing.

What’s the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Little Do You Know! This is a dark gaslighting fic, feat Bruce bitching Robin Jason without his knowledge or consent.

What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Probably Thicker than Water? JayTim end up happily married with children, both of them immortal vampires.

Do you get hate on your fic?

Not really? I've gotten some "I wish you'd write this", or some misguided comments but not hate.

Do you write smut?

Yeah.

Do you write crossovers?

Nope. I am Not A Fan.

Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yes! Several times! Podfics too. It never stops blowing me away 💕💕

Have you ever co-written a fic?

Yep! Speaking of, I really need to get to editing Trust Fall again. Sorry @themandylion

What‘s your all-time favorite ship?

I have SO MANY ships across too many fandoms, but if I have to pick a ship in DC... It would actually be BruJay. Sorry JayTim nation, I'm a sham 😂

What’s the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

I genuinely want to finish Dead to Rights, but I paused it indefinitely when I got pregnant, and I won't pick it back up until the topic of difficult pregnancies/risk of miscarriage stops squicking me out. I love it a lot, and there's a lot I want to say there, but the Creature will need to grow a bit bigger before I'm comfy writing it again.

What’s your writing strengths?

Uh. No idea, actually. I feel like I struggle with everything haha. Possibly writing banter? Not sure...

What’s your writing weaknesses?

EVERYTHING, if you ask me. Though the thing I struggle with the most is endings. It is SO HARD to find a good stopping point that doesn't ring hollow.

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

Not a full dialogue. A couple of sentences at most. I mean, I'm a native French speaker, so I could do a full conversation, but honestly I find it so unpleasant to read I wouldn't put it in my works.

First fandom you wrote for?

The Untamed 😊

Favorite fic you’ve ever written?

Oh God, that's such a hard question. I love all of my babies for different reasons. But I guess it's a toss up between Pretty and... Well. The unposted steampunk t4t JayTim WIP.

I am tagging anyone who wants to do this, as well as (no pressure) @bi-bats, @skalidra, @thenaphorism, and @beemotionpicture

[bloodyentrails]

You said we should talk about Jason but how can 3 of us talk on here? Group chats aren't a thing, right? We could just talk by reblogging/commenting, i guess.

Thoughts?

referring to this post

we could just make a post and reply to it ad infinitum. i'm only not reblogging your post because i try not to have that much bitching on my blog.

but there are a few fans of jason in titans specifically, and we are kinda loosely connected and used to have a discord server as well but alas.

paging @disniq, @marsupialmenace, @stvlti, @thenaphorism if they have any cool ideas too, i've been absent from discord for a while and have only discussed titans in dm really.

i hope this helps! i'm happy to chat 😁😁

WIP ask game

I was tagged by the wonderful @thenaphorism to do this so let's take a dive with yours truly and see what we can find in the depths of my WIP repository

I don't have a WIP folder so much as a bunch of loosely categorised notes in my notes app because I don't use my Google Drive or OneDrive folder like a normal, organised person anymore lol. But here's what I've been able to cobble together from my loose files:

JayRoy - "Anxiety", translation

DickRoy Weekend idea

DC Vs Vampires x Priest Jason

Fem Jay Week 2021 JayRoyDonna

SladeRa's Creutzfeldt-Jakob x Lazarus Pit

Jason's Fast Food Cannibalism

Titans Dark Academia au

Tentatodd Week 2020 / Kraken Jason (this is 2 separate files that's been scattered in 2 different folders 😭 but they're part of the same au)

(This isn't all of them but I can't find the rest so consider them discontinued for good lmao)

And I shall tag @shhhenanigans @kiseiakhun @pluckyredhead @consistenthero @silenthillmutual @fantomn @reaperlight + anyone else who are actively writing fics atm (my memory is swiss cheese and I don't know everyone's urls now but if we're friends on discord please respond, love you)

[kiseiakhun]

Smash or pass: the Riddler. Any variant.

The Riddler is probably one of the best Gotham rogues to smash. I'd smash but if he makes me do riddles in bed I'm out. I feel like he's the type to have a nervous breakdown mid sex though. Like I don't know anything about Ed but he just strikes me as that type. Pussy so good you start crying but your dick is still hard.

Writing patterns

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

Tagged by @deepwithintheabyss forever ago, sorry it took so long!

You're going down (on me) [Titans JayGar]

“I’m gonna get you next time.”

Maybe, Maybe [BruJay]

Jason is upset when he storms up to his room, slamming the door as loudly as possible and throwing himself onto the bed.

Protocol [BruJay, BruJayDick]

Later, Jason won’t even remember how he got a drugged, uncoordinated, and fucking heavy Batman into the Batmobile.

Sometimes you bleed just to know you're alive [BruJay]

Bruce tries to fight it.

What Would You Trade the Pain For? (I'm Not Sure) [BruJay]

It’s always a warehouse.

A Very Good Bad Thing [JaySlaDick]

Dick is coming off the back of a suspicious few weeks of relative peace in Bludhaven when he catches word that Red Hood is lurking around the Southside Dockyards.

Lessons Learned [BruJay]

The first time, Jason is pretty sure it’s an accident.

What Happened Doesn't Change Anything [BruJay]

When Bruce wakes, the sheets are still warm.

Redemption Lies Plainly In Truth [Titans Jason & Tim]

It was obvious that Jason was struggling with this case from the moment Tim pulled up in Gotham, but Tim somehow still doesn't clock the building panic attack until after they've found the missing kid.

Don't Take the Fast Road [Titans Jason & Tim]

When Dick first suggested Jason break the new Robin in, Jason was understandably a little dubious.

I don't know if I see any patterns, really! Throwing readers in mid-scenario, maybe? 😆

Gonna no-pressure tag @marsupialmenace @thenaphorism @bonerot19 @ladytauria and @sunlitlemonade 💖

@thenaphorism

Hello Deadpool and Wolverine fandom

I'd like to bring this golden post back in light of the Honda Odyssey scene

[kieran-granola]

I was tagged by @bi-bats in the WIP Title Tag Game (and oooh can you tell us more about your WIP called Petty? 👀)! That one is evil to me as a person because it forces me to confront my WIP drawer 😂

Rules: reveal the titles of the documents in your WIP folder and tag as many people as there are documents. Let others ask questions about the ones that interest them and post snippets or explain the contents as you see fit!

There are the obvious:

- Pretty

- Dead to Rights

- To My Amorous Heart

And then we have the fully unposted but titled (pending changes of heart):

- Wind Up My Heart

- Pavasarį gėlės žydės (sorry @generatorcat, this is the WIP you entrusted to me and I swear that it will be finished!!! Please don't judge the renaming of the doc, it makes sense to me 😂)

- Sun's Out

- The Scarf

- Unwitting

- Brine

And the untitled, just described:

- Dom Drop

- JayDick A/A

- Maid Jason

I have more that I'm not actively working on but they're in a different "random/waiting" folder so they don't count. And oh God that is already waaaay too many, I, uh... I'm definitely tagging anyone who wants to join in on the fun, along with @themandylion @glaciya @thenaphorism and @frogwithapen

[stvlti]

WIPs challenge

I was tagged by @reaperlight , thank you!

Rules: Pick a bunch of your WIPs and summarize them as badly as possible, then ask your followers to vote on which one they'd be most likely to read. Multiple/none/all options are completely optional.

I'll be honest I haven't worked on my WIPs in 7 months 😭 but I'm gonna give this a go either way. You already know what it is, DCU fics galore...

And I'm tagging @thenaphorism @silenthillmutual @shhhenanigans and any mutuals who are interested in this challenge 😁

[thesandsofelsweyr]

WIP Poll Tag Game

Thanks for tagging me @elusive-honeydew! I've been slacking on my writing these past few weeks so this is a fantastic exercise 😁
