saw your post on peter in gotham and am begging for fic recs!
this might be my moment.
Disclaimer: I am more of a spiderman gal than a dc girlie, so I can't judge how in character the DC Characters are. All the fics I rec had them as interesting characters that I enjoy despite not knowing anything about them. Additionally, all my recs are from ao3 Let's go 😌
Fics Under The Cut
Peter the Pizza Guy by Irisen
Peter needs money to survive in Gotham and picks up a pizza delivery job. Post-NoWayHome
39/?Chapters, 197k (currently)
- genuninely one of my favorite Peter and Jason Todd characterizations I've ever seen, also the BAMF Peter here is actually amazing. the author knows what they're dealing with in regards to Peter's powers. also the fight scenes?! actual chefs kiss. many chapters had me at the edge of my seat. This fic really shows how connected Peter is to Spider-Man on a mental health level. Peter loves being Spider-Man, but his failure in NHW makes him feel like he doesn't deserve being him. URGH, IT'S SO GOOD. from what I know, a sequel is already in the works, and honestly I'm almost as excited for that as I am for that new spiderman animated show coming out this month LMFAO
_____
Dark Matter by mysterycyclone
The last thing Peter sees is Tony's horrified, heartbroken expression leaning over him. The guilt in his eyes is almost worse than the burning pain that's taking Peter apart piece by piece. The world starts to go dark. Post-InfinityWar
46/46Chapters, 241k words
- how can I ever make a peter goes to gotham fic rec list without including Dark Matter? for those that don't know, this is THEEEEEEEEE og Peter in Gotham fic. I don't know if it was the first, but I can tell you finding a Peter in Gotham fic NOT inspired by DM is almost impossible. This one gets points all across the board. It has an amazing mix of Peter Whump while also staying truthful to the hope his character encompasses. Amazing Peter introspection, and I love the way it handles Tim Drake, Stephanie Brown and Duke Thomas.
_____
The Ones Burnt by This_is_lovin
Spider-man in gotham, just with identity. Post-NoWayHome
35/35Chapters, 199k
- okay guys. I have not yet finished reading this fully because of how emotionally compromised I was after finishing the first Act 😭 I never thought a fic could make me care this much about side characters. While in Gotham, the setting is very reminiscent of "little guy" stuff with Peter having to live day-to-day life, and the author manages to make this atmosphere known so, so well. Peter also has to act without his spider powers here, which is such an interesting thing I haven't read before. Very good Peter Whump that doesn't get overbearing though. He's sad, but he's still Peter fucking Parker yk
-----
Leap of Faith by alighterwood,ErinWantsToWrite
Peter’s heart swells at the thought. He needs heroes! They’ll be able to help him! The first thing that pops up is a website- JusticeLeague.Org. NoCorrelationToCanonTimeline
18/?Chapters, 460k
- OKAY. In this one, the authors took the canon mcu timeline and decided to do whatever the hell they want with it. which I have massive respect for, mind you. Peter is fourteen years old here, which means he's a little more immature but I enjoyed the way he pushes himself through gotham. one of the few fics where he actually wants to return home, too. my favorite point in this fic, however, is a certain tag. if you dont look at tags, and dont want to be spoilered, look away NOW. Okay so, we all know Nightwing is Richard Dick Grayson, right?! And like, Peter's dads name is RICHARD Parker, so some authors like to utilize this and say that they are the SAME person but different timelines/universes. And I am in love with that idea. The amount of drama it brings to the table? Guys this is what I read fanfiction for. Genuinenly the amount of plot you can get from just that idea alone is insane. The fix utilizes this very well, and I also like a lot of the action it has :D
-----
That's it for now! I'm currently slightly fixated on these types fanfictions, and there's a LOT more I can rec you if you want. So, if you want more recs, feel free to send me another ask lol

Hello. I know this might sound dramatic, but I want you to know that you probably save my life tonight.
I was having a really bad day. My family doesn't understand me enough to care, and maybe my issue with my family is the reason why I found comfort in Batfam fics. Today, everything just got worse. My father yelled at me for something he didn't even know, I don't know why he even had the audacity to speak when he doesn't even know the matter, and now I can't speak and yell at his face that he's wrong because I am a child and not a parent, I would be considered "disrespectful" if I wanted to speak what is right and true.
I was really begging any Gods at that point to take me. I was thinking of ways to execute myself tonight. I was planning to starve myself tomorrow and ignore today's dinner. I was planning on searching what's "Metoprolol" is because growing up as a kid, I always think that "concern" is a form of love, and maybe if they saw my dead body tonight, maybe they'll cry because they love me. I know this is bad. I know this is inappropriate to say, but when I tried to atleast make myself feel better and decided to read Batfam fics again, I saw your new chapter of From Gold to Mold and it genuinely makes everything better. I didn't want to read Chapter 3 because I saw the comments that you left it with a cliffhanger, and I hate that, and decided to wait for the next chapter instead. Ever since I saw the new chapter, I actually ate dinner, because atleast I know there's still things in this world that makes me happy. When I saw your new chapter, I asked God, "Is this your way of comforting me?", and I want you to know that your work is a form of blessing for me. I started thanking God at that moment, and told myself that I also want to thank you.
I actually don't read Batman comics, or watch Batman. I never read or watch any DC movies before, but Batfam fics is about a family that I will always desire yet never really grasp. I wish for all Batfam authors to live the life they wanted.
I am very sorry for saying this, and straight up said that I was actually considering doing it. I am very aware that this is inappropriate but I really, really, really want to tell you that you save me. I know saying that a "fanfiction" save my life sounds ridiculous, but that's where I found my comfort in, and I would be willing to be ridicule at if it means showing what genuinely makes me happy. I will always love your works even if it means showing my lack of redamancy for my family, or even hatred if I have to admit. This doesn't mean that you are a start of my rebellion. I am only stating that you are a light in my times of darkness.
Thank you.
Wow, ok, wasn’t expecting my work to have such an impact. Good to know.
First of all, I’m glad you’re enjoying the series! When this idea popped into my head, I wasn’t sure if there would be many who’d actually enjoy it. With people like you, I’m inspired to put all that I have into From Gold to Mold! I hope my future work meets and exceeds all your expectations!
Second of all, I’m so sorry that you’re going through such a rough time in your life right now. Since you were brave to share a part of you for all to see, I’ll share something, too. About five years ago, my mother was a major junkie. With that, plus her narcissism, led her to divorcing my stepdad (who brought me out of my shell and made me a better version of myself) and moved us to my grandmother’s house after my grandfather died after battling lung cancer. Living with her was a nightmare, constantly walking around eggshells for fear of pissing her off, her stealing money from my grandmother, and yelling at everyone. She was always riding my ass to get a job just so she could take money from me. Early 2020, she was finally evicted and it’s just my grandmother and I living together.
She’s actually cleaned herself up and we enjoy a decent relationship.
So, while things look horrible and it may take a while, things do get better. I’m rooting for you.

You. Person. You like. Batman. How does one that exists in a country where comic books r ridiculously unaffordable understand the Batman world enough to read fanfiction of it.
…..i’m going to be so brave and vulnerable with you guys for a second here: i read fanfiction before i read the comics.
do i recommend? not really, however i had the same problem where it was too expensive to buy every single volume i needed to read to get into them, i didn’t have ANY idea of where to start, and i actually stumbled across the fanfiction before i really realized what i was getting into. initially i watched like,,, so many youtube’s on the chronological order of batman comics and very quickly realized there was so much i didn’t even know where to begin. however, now i either read them online through, ahem, illegal means, or i use the DC universe app and just read through the individual volumes! i know i’m going to be the worst batman fan ever when i say this, but since you’re so right and comics are ridiculously expensive and unattainable (seriously tracking down the issue where tim and kon meet for the first time was a pain in my ass), i say just read the fanfiction?? like it’s hella confusing at first, but it’s so worth it because the found family and the tropes are just so good. and a lot of fics are so AU they can be read with no knowledge of the DCU. i’m not saying DONT read the comics, but it can take AWHILE to catch up on all the content of the past like 80 years to understand every character and their story, and personally i was way too impatient to stop reading fics and start reading every comic connected to the batfam. but also, again, i did not realize what i was getting into until i was already hooked and confused as fuck, so maybe take it with a grain of salt :)
but for sure if you’re wanting to read the comics first (good choice, but lots of content and WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU START) i say read that shit online lol. if anyone has an easier way of accessing them, i am begging to hear it, but what i typically do is go to twitter or here and search what i’m looking for (like chronological order of young justice comics, or chronological reading order for tim drake, whatever i’m wanting to find) and then usually people have blessedly compiled a list of all the issues by name and number and i can find them online that way! figuring out where to start and what’s canon and what’s old stuff that they’ve decided doesn’t count anymore is,,,, rough. i still don’t always know what’s going on with what’s new 52 and what’s pre :’)
if you’re just wanting to know enough to get by with reading the fanfics, i say either just jump in and have a sink or swim moment where you just figure out what you don’t know and look it up on fandomwiki, or you can also like watch youtube’s of the characters entire story arcs?? i don’t know if that’s normal but i do that a lot for fandoms lol. i did the full sink or swim where i just completely figured things out through osmosis and was very confused for a BIT. ummm otherwise i’d say read a few comics that are central to the characters and? maybe read some wikis??? depends on how confused you wanna be lmfao
but it’s worth it!!! 100% the vibes are so good and i don’t think i’ve ever consumed more content for a fandom in like ever :D the characters and the tropes and the angst and the found family 🤌 it’s all very good and very worthwhile
#asks#i might not be very qualified to answer this and for SURE am just fucking around and finding out#but i love batman!! so i’m at least that qualified…#anyways do what you want anyone who tells you there’s a right way is wrong :) fuck around and have fun#i’m here for a good time and i’m having it <3#batfam#batman comics#batman

What are your fav fanfictions?
Who is your OTP?
What's your 3 biggest pet peeves about reading fanfiction?
What is your fav fic that you've written?
What fandom and pairing was your first uploaded story?
What is your most hated and most loved genre to read/write?
Any tips on how a non-writer can write their first fic?
I’m so terrible at recs! My fave ever is “skies of couple colour” by Betty. My fave footy one was a Kylian Mbappe / Hakimi which the author think made private. Sad. But I get not wanting to link yourself to Hakimi.
I have vexed people for what might be decades now (I have dipped in and out of fandoms since far too young now far too old. It’s great. I have a long streak if DGAF) by not having OTP’s. I have characters I like so I’ll try an Anthony Gordon fic and anything with one of my NUFC guys but I’ll try them with whoever. Even in like. Sherlock Holmes fandom I would have read Sherlock with John or Irene or that cop.
Anthony/ Kieran or Frank or DC-L or Bruno G? I’ll believe in anything.
I don’t mind spelling or where you put capitals (if you like capitals) the only think I literally cannot read is wall of text. I beg you: paragraphs.
I am not a fan of women being fridged or some evil harpy that has trapped a man. I also don’t like the “accidentally got her pregnant so now me and my actual love have a baby” but I’ll read anything. ABO? Sure more? Why not. AU? Teeny bit bored of coffee shops.
Of wait anything with young kids when the author has clearly never been around young kids? Pet peeve kids who go to bed and stay asleep.
Mind the warnings but my fave of mine:
A fun one first:
I did fall in love with sexy wolffish Bruno.
Not even losing lasts forever
My first posted story included Marty McSorely. He was an enforcer in ice hockey so like the hard man, literally his job was to fight. And it was my favourite way to write a hard man, good giving and game.
Absolutely wiling to go down, get fucked, fuck someone. The hard man with a core of marshmallow for those he loves? An eternal fave trope.
Fandom is fun and community for me. I don’t read things I don’t like! I just stop. I frown if they are shitty to women but I just close the tab.
I love a rookie/ mentor fic.
I love a hard man taking care of those he loves. I love a twisty threesome where one is on the outside. Porn and yearning.
I genuinely think you should just put it down on paper (as it were, type on the screen). If you are thinking of the story you are already a writer! You already have the hard bit out of the way, so just write the first image that comes to mind and then tell me so I can read it. :)

Hi Green! 9, 12, 15 and 17 for the Fanfic/Author Ask Game but you don't have to answer all of them if you don't want to. Oh! and 8 specifically for "The Bird and The Hood." :)
OOoooo I love these questions! Thank you for asking! 8. What is your favorite line/section from The Bird and The Hood --This is tough! I've never really thought about it! But I admit. that I loved this chapter, and particularly this little argument--
“Where the hell do you get off acting like you’re dispensable? Like no one needs you, too? Did I miss you?!” he shouted, latching on to Jason’s earlier question, not realizing how much it bothered him until now. “What the hell kind of a sick question is that?” As if Jason had simply��left for a little while. As if Tim had ever once thought that he might be coming back.
It was like asking a frozen world lost in orbit if it mourned for its Sun.
His hand fell limply to his side. “Replacement?” he echoed bitterly as he pinned Jason with a glare, “When are you going to wake up and realize that You’re. Not. Replaceable. Jason. You never were!”
Not to him. Never to him."
9. How did you get into writing fanfiction? Honestly, it was a eureka moment! One minute I'm sitting and enjoying my show, and the next I'm concocting an entire storyline in my head from beginning to end. Some scribbled outlines on a handful of papers and an official AO3 account later and suddenly I'm posting chapter after chapter of a story that wouldn't get out of my head. 12. What was the first fandom you wrote for? The DC universe is the first and only! I've come up with some thoughts and potential story ideas for other fandoms like (ATLA, Kyoshi, or some BeefLeaf angst) But DCU and particularly the YJTV fandom has been the only one I've ever actually put those thoughts to paper. 15. Does anyone in your real life know you write fanfiction? Two people exactly! My husband and my sibling. My husband is very peripherally supportive and he gets a kick out of it when I ask him questions about particular DCU fandoms that I'm not familiar with. But he's never read fanfiction before, so he's never read my work! My younger sibling, however, they know all the idea spirals I've ever descended and they've read chapters here and there.. but they also know absolutely nothing about DCU! Haha! So quite the opposite. But they are the two people dearest to me so they're the only two people that I invite into this little world I've created, and I like to keep it that way because it feels like something just for me. 17. What is something that you recently felt proud of in your writing? Okay, real talk, but I am quite Ace. And while I know there are plenty of a-spec individuals out there who are masters of the romance realm, that has never been me!! I've written quite a few stories but they've all followed either Aro characters or had no romantic subplot. All of this is to say that I have really been enjoying the fun new challenge of exploring romance in my writing. And what I've found is that I really love exploring sensuality and touch. And I don't know, but I have felt proud of it, and I hope readers are enjoying it as much as I certainly am!
I think those were all the questions! Thank you thank you for asking! They were so much fun to think through - Green 💚

jason 7,14,23,25
[character ask game]
thanks for the ask!!
7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?
The protector of Crime Alley thing :) particularly how much he cares about kids and sex workers. Sometimes it can come across a little goofy/unrealistic but that's okay. I'm very fond of it. The Goonion jokes. Delightful.
14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.
I'm pretty sure I have negative knowledge on fashion aesthetics but uh. Whatever Black Mask calls him in UtH. Some gladiator biker?
23. Favorite picture of this character?
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
Oh. Oh boy. Okay. I'd been bouncing around reading Marvel x DC crossover fic before then, but my first real impression was from this fic called The Ghosts of the Gotham Opera house, which I uhh... never actually finished. I don't quite remember what about Jason caught my attention at that point, probably something to do with the dying, the fanon Lazarus Pit Madness, or just the whole being 19 and a crime lord thing.
I hit the chapter that was an adaptation of his attack on Titan's Tower and went down a rabbit hole reading fics in the Canon Divergence -- Jason Todd's Attack on Titan's Tower tag. So my first impression of Jason was that Jason: hopped on on magic rage juice, a hater towards the kid that replaced him to the point of a dramatic murder attempt. At some point during this I watched the movie (Under the Red Hood) and went hunting for reconciliation fics. In general, my understanding of him and his conflict with Bruce was about as fanon as you can get.
There's one fic I wrote that I know for sure was from before I read any comics at all: rust red, bruised purple, lazarus green. I do think it's quite interesting that it includes absolutely zero Tim and doesn't actually feature any real reconciliation, considering that was the bulk of what I was reading at the time. Seems like I was already getting tired of those tropes at that point lol.
Anyway then I got into the comics <3
I don't really know how to compress my thoughts about Jason into something short, but I'll give it a shot. My "one true canon" for Jason is post-crisis, in particular Winick's writings. Under the Hood (the comic) and Red Hood: Lost Days are my favorite comics regarding his characterization. Yes, he did do all those crimes, but I support him and am actively cheering him on. I hope that one day he'll finally find fulfillment and peace but I think it'll be very very hard for him, and also good lord he needs to get away from Bruce (he will never do this).
Also I cannot overstate how extreme a hyperfixation he is. Since October I've posted over 100k words of fanfiction specifically about him on Ao3. That's half a NaNoWriMo per month. I could talk about him forever and ever and ever.

Fandoms masterpost!
This list will range from the fandoms I interact with and make content for the most to the ones I occasionally check in with.
Genshin Impact - I'm incredibly active in this fandom, I've made art of it before and have 4 ongoing fanfictions for it
Boku No Hero Academia - The memes are really great and I haven't finished the actual anime yet, and despite a few of my grievances its still a wonderful watch
Marvel - My opinions are constantly fluctuating with every new movie and series they release, but I'd like to keep an open mind! One of my favourite shows are, unpopular opinions apparently, Ultimate spiderman (the animated series) and X-men evolution. I also have quite a few comics as well! (Two of Nadia Van Dyne as the Wasp and One of the Kate Bishop Hawkeye, both of which I adore)
DC - I mostly like the memes and fanarts! I'm currently reading the bat-fam webtoon, and watching Young justice! I'm currently starting the second season but I need to finish MHA first (shhhhh) also MADOHAMU STYLE DOOMED YAOI UINCKMENIJD
Puella Magi Madoka Magica - It's literally one of the best things I've ever watched. The characters are so perfectly well written, the designs and animation is amazing, and it gives me such Grimm fairytale vibes. I need to know what kind of crack Madohamu artists are consuming for research purposes. DOOMED YURI SUPREMACY!
Dandadan - I'm here for the girls and is praying for Okarun to get his balls back. (oh and turbo granny)
VOCALOID - MIKUMIKUMIKU AND GUMIIIIIIIIIIII
Project Sekai - I was kind of in it before for the fanart, then got more into it after Mizu5! I can't play the game though because I'm banned.
Saiki K - I'm deep in the Kubokai brainrot and Saiki K is just too shit funny XD I may rewatch it later!
Jentry Chau vs. the underworld - TOP TIER ANIMATION TOP TIER VOICE ACTING AND TOP TIER INTRO! The story itself has its kinks and the characters could be better but I still love it!
Honkai Star Rail - The ships. That's literally all I'm here for.
Alien stage - This was supposed to be higher I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOR MENTIONING THIS!!! The music is amazing, I adore the artstyle, Vivinos art is god tier, and Sua is so pretty its unreal.
Disney Descendents - NO i do not support disney, but I loved this series to the core (and yes, even the fourth movie)
And that's all folks! This list is definitely subject to updates!
I bought a donut, but it had a hole in it :(
#genshin impact#honkai star rail#saiki k#project sekai#mha#bnha#marvel#dcu#dc comics#dc universe#jentry chau vs the underworld#alien stage#puella magi madoka magica#mahou shoujo madoka magica#pmmm#dandadan#descendants#vocaloid#vocal synth#THE RASCAL#TheBetterRascal

2, 3, 7, 9, and 20 for the ask meme 🤠
HIIIII HAVEN <3<3 thank you for the ask!!!!!!
(the ask meme in question)
2. a headcanon you weren't sure about at first but have come to like!
i actually have like nothing for this LMAOOO. i do actually regularly read fics or consume content that have headcanons that i'm either meh about or that i outright disagree with because i'm still interested in seeing how they're explored. for me it doesn't really matter if i'm "not sure" about a headcanon--i still wanna see what all the fuss is about. does that make any sense??
3. a character that fandom has helped you appreciate
i guess bruce!! before i got into dc stuff my only real exposure to him was like pop culture osmosis and also the lego batman movie. so my reckoning of him was very dark/angsty/brooding emo guy who broods. and all of this is true!! but now hes also a tired and trying single father with an almost comical amount of mental illnesses and when i see him i go whoa!! it's the guy!!
7. your favorite tropes to read/write/draw
well sibling dynamics. first and foremost always and forever. i will also say that my first instinct as a creative is to be funny, which means a lot of my stuff ends up being very goofy (by design). i also do very much enjoy outsider povs and fics where people are having a lot emotionally thorny conversations
9. a ship that isn't your OTP but that you enjoy
i'm going to say ghostbat, mostly because i know vv little about ghostmaker. but what i do know about ghostmaker makes their dynamic extremely fun!!
20. your very first fandom!
oh boy. literally every answer i could give to this is embarrassing as hell (cringeisdeadcringeisdeadcringeis--) but im prettyyyy sure the first thing i was ever reading and writing (by hand in my little journal) fanfiction for was princess tutu. which is an anime about a ballerina magical girl who is also a duck. theres something about a heartless prince shes in love with and there are a bunch of ravens and cool dance sequences, but i was mostly invested in the emo edge boy who was like stupid in love with her. (fakirxduck5evr)

Fixation Central
Anyone who follows my blog knows I am auDHD and I fixate extremely fast. I am constantly frothing at the mouth with how much I adore certain fandoms. Most of what I'm into right now is superhero cartoons, but my journey with two of my first ever fandoms: Scooby Doo and Harry Potter.
I've 'left' Harry Potter, but that's because I made my own canon lmao. Or attempted to, at least-
It has long since branched off and my honorary fixations include Gravity Falls, Warrior Cats, PJO, and Doctor Who. And yes, I did also have problematic fixations - let yourself be cringe; if you want to enjoy DSMP, Homestuck, ATLA, or anything in between - do it. I was only part of one of these though. All fandoms have their toxicity, and in the end... make your own fucking canon. Problem solved.
Though, now... it's time to talk about what I like now and the ones I never truly left so without much further ado - let's get on with it!
Read below the cut for the rest!
The Fixations That Just Stayed
Gravity Falls (joined the fandom late, ended up being the creator of multiple original AU's and adored the Pines family dynamics; would've wanted to see something actually used with the Cipher/Zodiac Wheel)
Warrior Cats (never finished the books, unapologetic Firestar fan - first fandom I ever roleplayed and had an OC named Dawnheart of all things)
Doctor Who (adore New Who, loved all companions and thought more could've been done with Martha; huge Riverdoc fan, Donna is my favorite companion - was obsessed with the Pandorica arc for literally no reason; actually enjoyed the Timeless Child reveal)
Scooby Doo (on-off fixation, made up Scooby Doo AU's and crossovers for a lot of my fandoms-)
Current Fixations
Danny Phantom (literally what started my superhero cartoon fixation; adores Everlasting Trio - Sam bashing is irritating I'm ngl, also platonic Badger Cereal is one of my favorite things; has made ghost king and TUE AU's, among other things)
RC9GN (Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja) (never watched it as a kid afaik; huge Randy Cunningham kin, kickstarted my Secret Trio fixation - multishipper for the fandom)
Wordgirl (nostalgia fixation, watched few episodes as a kid but came to love it as an adult; adoptive villains apologist, obsessed with the Rise of Miss Power episodes; Becky Botsford and Tobey McCallister kin, a lot more thoughts but I can't list them all down-)
K-Dramas (kind of picky with them, anything high-drive/action are my favorites; adores Vincenzo and Descendants of the Sun. Taxi Driver was also a fun ride, among others)
AU's and Crossovers Hoard
Secret Trio/Quartet (American Dragon: Jake Long, Randy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja, and Danny Phantom + bonus appearances from Miraculous Ladybug) (massive fixation, currently being worked on as a fanfiction series on Ao3 - post canon/future au timelines, darker depictions than their given canon)
Superwholock and Co (Supernatural, Doctor Who, and Sherlock) (original crossover I ever got into; adores crossovers with Merlin)
Mystery Kids (crossover between Coraline, Paranorman, Gravity Falls, and Danny Phantom - as I've never seen/played Psychonauts) (first of the crossovers as well, was a casual fan in the beginning - currently also being worked on as a fanfiction)
Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons (Rise of the Guardians, Brave, Tangled, and How to Train Your Dragon) (the OG, attempted to make an LPS series for it as a kid; adored any plotlines with Pitch Black - the four being New Guardians of the Seasons? chef's kiss)
DP x DC (personal favorite, i like the Vibes)
Personal Hoard
Totally Spies/Glitch Techs (made it up like Right Now; very behind on Glitch Techs but still-)
RC9GN/Wordgirl
C:KND/RC9GN (Codename: Kids Next Door/Randy Cunningham) (original creator; former KND operative Randy Cunningham becomes the Ninja, what could possibly go wrong?)
Project Zero: Heroes United (expanded Secret Trio/Quartet universe) ("Heroes Cinematic Universe" multi-fandom au where superheroes of different cartoons are selected to be an elite team against evil)
Once Upon in Camelot (OUAT/Once Upon a Time and Merlin) (abandoned project, might return to it; crossover/au where BBC! Arthurian cast are reincarnated following the S4 finale - exception being Merlin, shenanigans ensue; post-canon arc, Merthur storyline)

i know that this is such a random question, but...
for the Titans show, do you think all of the cast for the show fit their characters? or do you think there could've been someone else to play their role?
(tbh I love random questions like this omg. I love any chance to discuss Titans at length)
And genuinely, I wouldn't change any of the casting.
It's actually so interesting, because Titans is the first piece of live action DC media that I have gotten really sentimentally attached to. I was always a bigger fan of DC than Marvel because I always enjoyed the Batman films, and I did watch episodes of the Justice League cartoon in passing, or I watched other random animated Batman movies or Justice League movies and really enjoyed them - and I have always enjoyed how DC has so many different styles and tones across each piece of media, rather than the homogeneous boring schlock that Marvel puts out.
Young Justice was the first piece of DC media in general that I got really, really personally attached to, because @nctzenkane is a huge DC fan (and when we first met, it was one of the first things we ever talked about that made me start falling for him) - and he really sparked my interest in certain things and caused me to convert my casual enjoyment of it to a very hardcore nerdom. And him encouragining me to watch Young Justice was definitely the first step in me becoming a full blown DC nerd.
And he also encouraged me to watch Titans - just because Ryan Potter is hot in it - and it's so funny because Jaycen is not even the biggest Titans fan, but I developed such a distinct emotional attachment to it. So in my mind, all of the actors for those characters in Titans - they just are the live action versions. Whenever I am reading fanfiction of those characters, no matter what version the writing is talking about - I always picture the Titans cast in my head.
I know there has been a lot of (idk how to phrase it) controversy? Around Curran Walters as Jason Todd because people think that he's not bulky enough to be Jason and people think he somehow should have shredded and bulked up to become Red Hood?
Honestly, I am fucking relieved that the show didn't pressure him to make major changes to his body just because in the comic books he magically went from a skinny fifteen year old kid to the hulking body of a 6.4" shredded pro wrestler (for those of you who don't know, I have described it as: The Pit makes comic Jason go from looking like Titans Jericho to looking like Titans Hank in five minutes) - like there is already so many gross unrealistic body standards when it comes to men in superhero roles. There doesn't need to be more
And in terms of emotions, and the actual acting, Curran is literally the best fit for Jason possible in my opinion. He brings so much power and depth to Jason's scenes, he makes the character eager and excitable yet worn and jaded at the same time, and he makes Jason's mental illness and struggles so layered and relatable.
One thing about Titans, is that they have some of the most phenomenal actors ever. They might not have the best special effects, or storylines/writing that makes the most sense - but the actors take the material and elevate it so fucking much.
Ryan Potter brought so much depth to Gar (which is something I could rant about for hours), Brenton balances Dick's hardened outer shell and his tender moments so fucking well, Anna makes Kory such a pensive and thoughtful character beyond being just intensely powerful and 'badass' (not to mention, casting a black woman in that role was a risk with whiny fanboys complaining about POC on screen and I am sure she puts up with way too much bullying and hate because of it), and Tegan was so young when she started as Rachel, but she brought an intensity and professionalism that carried Rachel so well (especially during the first season, where her character was the focus) that not many other young actors could have pulled off.
And that is just the core four - I could also go into how Joshua Orpin balances Conner's anger, inner turmoil, and troubled mind with his naive optimism of seeing the world for the first time so well.
And genuinely, I don't think Hawk and Dove could have been played by anyone else than who was cast.
And not only that, but from what we do see of the behind the scenes, it feels like Titans is a true passion project for all of them, and that's why they put so much care into these characters (even if the writers sometimes neglect the details). I think the actors bring so much to the show.
I think possibly my only 'what if' - would have been Tim Drake being an Asian character as originally planned?
And this is absolutely no hate to Jay Lycurgo, I think he did end up being fantastic in the role. He plays the character wonderfully, balancing Tim's bright optimism, gentle fears/insecurities and heroic confidence well.
But I think a visibly Asian character who is clearly connected to their heritage would have been really great to have on screen, and it would have only added to the amazing array of representation in the show. And as far as Asian actors go, I don't know who I would replace him with. (Especially because I think it's interesting when lesser known/up and coming actors play these roles, and all the ones I can think of are popular from other things, or too old to play this role???)
But I do think that it's really cool how he was also in The Batman, so there could be headcanons of him also being Tim Drake in that universe (which I haven't seen anyone mention?)
But overall, I wouldn't change anything fundamental about the cast of Titans. I think they are amazing and I think they did their job so well. They made the show what it truly is for me. They made it close to my heart.

EXPLAINING KRYPTONITE WITH SUPERGIRL AND POWER GIRL
PART 2
Part 1 here
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3077a9e5aa6e705af9998c160947bd1f/9dc0ffd7393987ca-cf/s540x810/8417cbaa31e65811fbd49b4e966b1eabe1904d03.jpg)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f95a0807c5da9e9b7a35f0046d13ecd9/9dc0ffd7393987ca-dd/s640x960/c90c6275436744e88d74344769c5e2f9ef002fd3.jpg)
"I-ahahahaha...." Kara laughed nervously as the Supergirl flouted in the air, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly "So we kinda... well... got a bit over the top there at the end, huh?"
"A bit?!" Karen frowned, the Power Girl resting her hands on her hips "If I described all the shit we did to each other under Black K, the reader's would be reading a fanfiction instead of out informative blog piece!"
"Alright! Alright! I get it!" Kara groaned "Sorry for the wait guys. We had to... well... wait for the Black K to wear off before continuing. And considering how I am with Black K once I'm on it? It is kinda tough to get it all off me and then give me enough time to 'detox'. With earings, a necklace, the nipple piercings, the butt plug, the-"
"I think they get it. I think they get it." Karen groaned "And that's another thing before we go into detail today. Kryptonite's effects are temperoary, but take time to wear off. Longer the exposure, longer it takes to wear off."
"Now, on to the sexy fun!" Supergirl cheered "What's the first Kryptonite today?"
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/38eae550cbfec4e2e6c8f9ef6ab68bb2/9dc0ffd7393987ca-2f/s400x600/c4665f373bf53a0870cca04878af79e18f839420.jpg)
"White Kryptonite." Power Girl commented as she suddenly held up her hand, showing off the glowing white stone
Several members of the audience screamed and hid away
"Oh, don't worry. It's harmelss." Power Girl waved dismissively "But it's also time to clear something up I think wasn't too clear the first time. Only Green K's causes pain of any kind to Kryptonian's they effect."
"Now, as for what White K does." Supergirl continued "It kills plant life. That's... Kinda it. It's bad for plants and bacteria. Superman, our cousin Clark, actually has a White K laser up at the Fortress of Solitude that acts as a sanatiser. Has destroyed multiple parasitic life forms."
"So, arguably, this is the best type of Kryptonite. It is actually useful." Power Girl nodded as she put the white rock away
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/11b9223695b24b30d941016cabc34b0e/9dc0ffd7393987ca-94/s540x810/295cdbf0732e888a1e92023b55c06b0c4634ee1d.jpg)
"Platinum Kryptonite is next." Supergirl said as she held up a near identical rock, only a bit closer to silver in colour "As you can see above, this gives Kryptonian powers. To any humanoid being."
"So humans, Tameranians, Thanagarians, Martians, all of them automatically become as powerful as Kryptonian's." Power Girl nodded ... "Well, Martians where already like that, but there are only so many commonly known DC alien species."
"And yes, fan boys. Give this to Goku, he gets Superman's powers." Supergirl rolled her eyes "So.... What's next?"
"Next is another white/silver Kryptonite.... Silver Kryponite." Karen explained
"And we have no pic for it!" Supergirl called dramatically
"Silver K is exclusive to Smallville and looks just like mercury." Karen sighed, shuddering in fear at the idea of said fear "Even a tiny bit enters the blood steam and it makes Kryptonian super paranoid. To a scary level."
"Indeed." Kara nodded before grinning "You know, I think we are in luck. We haven't had one weird Kryptonite yet."
"Yeah, you're right." Karen realised "And we only have two types left. I wonder what the next one is."
Suddenly a pink glow washed over both heroines, making them gasp out and cover their heads
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ca794b30acf632b329242d87188c4938/9dc0ffd7393987ca-fb/s540x810/a346c91df4ff491d0283ee306a999b8fb43937ce.jpg)
"Pink K, of course." Kara mumbled as she blushed, looking at Karen... And getting lost in her breasts, unable to look away from her counterparts chest
"Pink Kryptonite... It is a bit of a meme, as some of you may know." Power Girl mumbled as she tried not to look at Supergirl. Mumbling under her breath as she bit her lip, small words like 'why is she so cute?' coming out under her breath "It... It makes Kryptonian's gay."
"Yeah." Supergirl nodded as she tried to look away from the other attractive blonde "Not-Not much has been explored about this. Like how it effects bi Kryptonian's, how 'real' it is, and things like that. It's mostly up to writers interpretation."
"But it only ever appeared as a throw away background joke in one Super Girl comic." Power Girl further explained "At least until it got a.... Revamp in recently years."
"In a-In Justice League Action, a newer Justice League cartoon for kids, it did gender swapping instead. Turning Superman into a Superwoman." Kara laughed nervously "So I guess it depends on what kinks you and your RP partner are into."
"Remember. Always ask before doing such a thing." Karen nodded, blushing "And also remember, suddenly being lesbian or gay doesn't mean you're automatically all over your partner. It changes what-what you're attracted to, not who you are or how horny you are."
"Yeah, what she said." Kara nodded before a second light covered them, a purple glow.....
(the next segment is 18+ only)
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7cec77b00afd2a08ae4d66ebee2ddc04/9dc0ffd7393987ca-98/s540x810/39a9f50ad0351f5338924b1f09ad8516fb965f5d.jpg)
"Aaaahh~!" Both moaned, falling to their knees as their juices flowed down their thighs
"If you're-you're here for canon, this is-is where you can get off." Kara panted as she hugged herself, shaking "Bye now. And... And remember, this is an 18+ RP blog so.... Oh fuck~!"
"Our-our final Kryptonite today is.. is Purple Kryptonite. B-Basically an OC type of Kryptonite created by-by this blog's writer." Power Girl moaned, finding it almost impossible to keep her hands off her large breasts as she rubbed her own tits "Mmmm~!"
"Purple K, as-as you've guessed makes-fuck! Horny! Horny! Makes us horny!" Supergirl moaned deeply, a hand under her skirt pumping "This is-isn't real! It is-is made up for this blog! Fuck! Karen! I need!"
"Coming! I'm coming!" The other blonde panted, crawling towards her counterpart. Almost drooling as she approached her
"I-I need to be cumming soon or I'm gonna go insane!" The younger counterpart moaned, her blonde hair flowing around her like a halo as she threw her head back
"You lot..." Power Girl panted "Fuck off! We're gonna be busy!" And with that she pounced, pulling Kara into a deep kiss
The two moaning as they wrapped their arms around each other and began to make out, their hands gliding across each others bodies
And that is it for the Kryptonite Explains two partners. Hope you all enjoyed.
If you want another thing like this, I could do it for Lantern Rings. Or leave suggestes based off my other Muses.

Sanvers fans know her from her amazing contributions of art and fic to the Big Bang, but @morganastorm24 is also a multi-talented writer and artist for multiple ships in the DC universe. She also has love of everything Lois Lane. In honor of the Planet's star reporter, we've asked her to share a glimpse into her writing process. Thanks, Morgana!
Tell us a little about yourself. How did you get started writing fic? Have you written for other fandoms? What are your favorite tropes?
I've been writing for as long as I can remember - even longer according to my mum. I've always loved creating stories and would sit with my teddies and toy horses, reading them stories (even before I could read, because that's what pictures are for, right? Telling a thousand words and all that). For my 6th or 7th birthday, I apparently asked for a "really nice writing set and an even nicer book to write in". I was given a ring binder with plastic pockets, a notebook and a pencil case full of stationery. I still have that ring binder to this day, though it's not filled with all my random childish scribbles like it once was.
I started writing fanfiction not long after Star Wars: Attack of the Clones came out. That's the earliest fanfic I can remember writing, anyway. I wrote Anakin and Padme's adventures after they got married, and then when rumours started flying about what was going to happen in Episode 3, I wrote my very first "fix it fic" by finding a way to keep Padme alive (as I couldn't bear the thought of my favourite character dying). Most of those very early fics never left the pages of the notebooks they were scrawled in and nobody else ever saw them (thank god!), but it wasn't until I started reading fanfiction online that I realised I could actually do that too - share my ideas with the world. I dabbled a little in fanfic for the tv show Casualty (a British medical drama), had more success with Doctor Who, wrote some more Star Wars, then Merlin and eventually (and most recently) Supergirl (with a dash of other DC).
What were your inspirations for this particular story? What was it about this/these ships that grabbed you?
This fic was born of a single image - namely Chyler first revealing that she was going to wear a black and blue super suit and become Supergirl for one episode. That image alone was enough to get my mind racing with possibilities and ideas of how it might come to pass. I have to be honest and say I stopped watching the show after the Crisis stuff, so I've never actually seen her episode as Supergirl, but maybe that's a good thing? At least this way I know that my version of her is different and unique.
I am and always will be a huge Sanvers stan, but there's something so appealing about AgentCorp as well, and the show really dropped the ball when they wouldn't let Alex and Lena be together. They're an interesting and dynamic pairing - they share interests, are both huge science nerds and yet so completely different that its great fun writing them both together.
As for Lois and Kara - that one literally came out of nowhere and took me by surprise. I'd never intended for it to happen, and yet now that it has, I'm wondering why I never thought of it sooner!
Has the time spent away from your story changed your outlook or approach to any of the storylines or themes? Have you had any new inspirations or breakthroughs/revelations in the meantime?
Absolutely. I got to a point with the fic where it had grown stale, and I was constantly hitting up against a wall with no idea how to get around it, or to power through it. So, I walked away from the fic and decided to focus on other WIPs and new creations instead. Coming back to it now, I've been able to see everything with fresh eyes, and I can see not only where I was going wrong before, but also a way to fix it. Changing the villain, adding characters, getting rid of redundant plot threads and adding more relevant pieces has really helped to get this work to a place where finally, I can see the finish line and I know I'm going to make it. That's a huge relief, considering where I was 2 years ago when I first started writing it.
Any advice for new or aspiring fic writers?
Never give up. No matter how hard it might be, just put words on a page. It doesn't matter how rubbish they are, as my BFF always says, "You can't edit a blank page." Let yourself suck, let yourself write horrendously. It's all good practice. Even if those words never leave your notebook or the document on your computer, they've taught you something, they've helped you to improve, so be proud of them.
Writing is also a bit like a painting. Not even Da Vinci or Van Gogh sat at his easel and created a masterpiece on his first try. There's the initial sketches to plan out the idea. That's your plot or summary. Then you add basic blocks of colours. That's your first draft. From then on, you work away slowly, adding details, shading, contouring...those are your second, third, fourth drafts. Keep revising and editing as much as you need - there's no right or wrong number of times you should be doing it. Because each time you do, you're adding more detail to your masterpiece. And what you end up with is a work of art.
One final piece of advice... writing is not a solo event. All those times a writer is depicted sitting along, tapping away at a keyboard or scribbling in a notebook, it's so misleading. Get yourself a writing buddy. DKGwrites and I are best friends, we met through fanfiction (and I'm eternally grateful for that everyday). We have regular writing sessions together, and ok it's 90% messing around, distracting one another, talking utter nonsense or throwing random videos and links to each other, but that 10% when we do actually behave and get down to the task at hand, it's so much more fun writing together than it ever is when we try to write alone. Silliness aside, we help one another, bounce ideas off one another, motivate and encourage one another, and it's the best thing ever. So find yourself a writing buddy, and have a blast!
If you were going to promote this fic with a single line, what would it be?
What if Supergirl was a badass redhead called Alex Danvers?
We'll have more about her artwork in the coming weeks, but in the meantime, check out her work on A03!

Green! I've been wanting to ask you this for a few days, but I'm too shy. Today is the day. When did you start shipping Jason with Tim, and what dynamic do you like the most between the two of them? Also, how did you come up with the idea of taking advantage of the YJ series to write about them?
Have a nice week!
Ahhhhh! Oh my goodness, I am SO glad you woke up and decided today was the day! Seeing this message in my inbox gave me all the fuzzies and happy feelings🥺💕! But I also completely get it; there are so many cool people in this space that I want to send asks to, but I am also shy and have yet to. This may be the thing that encourages me to do so!
As for your first question, I actually found out about the JayTim ship in kind of a roundabout way. I've been a DC fan for many years (particularly the animated movies and shows) but never really thought more about the other universe-wide ships than a casual "oh, that's nice" for most of them. But then, a few years ago, I came across a stunning fanart that was actually JayDick (If you can believe it!!), and my thoughts were, "OH! That's nice!!👀" Insert many Google searches later, a foray into Tumblr, and my first experience getting into Fandom spaces, and that's where I found a fanart for JayTim, and let's say my mind just spasmed "ahdfdfdsfsdf," and I was sold.
As for "what" exactly sold me on their dynamic? It's funny because I am not usually an enemies-to-lovers fan (friends-to-lovers is much more my jam). But for Tim and Jason?? It just works. I also am a sucker for angst, and pining, and good old fashion snarky banter. But honestly? I think what really got me was the absolute "ride or die" way that they care about each other when depicted in fandom and even platonically in canon. I know "ride or die" could be applied to a lot of ships, but I think that these two would go to far more extraordinary lengths to protect each other than, say, some other characters (particularly those of whom are hindered by their moral code). Both of these characters are consistently shown to be greyer than not, but just go about it in completely different ways. I've always been more attached to gray characters in fiction, so when there are TWO of them? It's just the chef's kiss. TL;DR They are both just MESSY and yet competent AF and I love it.
But even with my attachment to them, I never considered writing fanfiction! I've only ever written original stories. I don't even know why I didn't consider it because I've loved reading fanfiction since I was as old enough to navigate a computer (a LONG time😅). But suddenly, a little over a year ago, I was re-watching all of Young Justice while simultaneously watching the new season, and BAM! Two very specific scenes came up in my head (One that has already been written about in Part 1 and another that has yet to be shown in Part 2), and I could just Not. Stop. Thinking. About. It. I'm serious. Those two scenes kept me awake at night, the brain rot was all consuming, and I got that feeling that all writers have felt a time or two where if they didn't jot it down in that moment, they'd just implode!!
So, of course my totally normal person response was to immediately sign up for AO3, outline an entire ~40-chapter story around those two scenes right down to the nitty-gritty details, and start uploading.
100K words later and here we are! The rest was history!!! I know this is probably WAY longer than you ever anticipated 🤣 but THANK YOU for asking me! I hope I didn't scare you away with the essay. I have just loved these characters, the JayTim fandom, and my first experience writing fanfiction so much, and all it takes is a little question for me to go on a gush about it!!

I like writing and reading fanfiction cause frankly sometimes media is lightning in a bottle good when it’s long running.
Like idw transformers, I still need to start reading the current comics but I doubt if anything can really capture how much my brain latched onto it. Like even if the writing is objectively better in the current iteration, I do wonder if it’ll peak my interest the way idw transformers did.
Like with large media franchises, it really is me picking and choosing what I really like.
With dc comics I love all the cartoons. Some of the animated movies, none of the live action movies and none of the tv shows. But I still like the characters. So like fanfics can sorta capture what I’m looking for in a certain iteration of a character.
But also it kinda has to have this sense of imperfection or desire for more to make me actually search for fan works. Cause like I love you idw transformers but the ending was rushed/also the ending was open ended with one of the cut panels saying “over to you” instead of “the end” to signify that the fans could do what they wanted now with the lost light in the new universe. And like ever after high, I love it but it’s like objectively a bunch of interesting half baked ideas that just got cancelled out of nowhere.
Something tight and clean and satisfying like gravity falls for me does not make me desire to read fanfics. Like maybe a short fancomic n what not but I feel the story had a satisfying beginning middle n end so I feel like I can move on fully satisfied.
So there is something so nice about satisfying media. I think Hilda is also super satisfying, it got a bunch of seasons, a movie and got a finale that didn’t feel rushed. But also, there’s something so fun about being ravenous for more, for being not satisfied and looking for places to become satisfied.
First Aid will never be the main character for more than a chapter or episode. But hey, there were like almost one hundred fics I read where he was the main character. And plenty more if I wanted to read smut but I do not so almost one hundred first aid fics for me.
Like the reason why I’ve been so into Damian Wayne and Jonathan Kent stories is that the movie that featured both of them was good but also too short and doesn’t have a sequel. It planted the seeds that its short run time didn’t allow to fully grow.
Or similarly, I’ve heard that dc comics kinda aged up Jonathan to move him into a different comic series away from the super sons series but Damian is still a kid to keep with Batman continuity and it sounds convoluted and confusing and it sounds like the relationship of Damian and Jon was kinda thrown away to have Jon be an adult now because of space shenanigans. So people have been writing under the tag of “naturally aged Jon Kent” to have Damian and Jon grow up together.
But yeah side rant off of this side rant, even though I’ve never read the comics, a part of me definitely wonders if there is room for multiple different continuities to exist at the same time. But also I think crisis on infinite earth’s literally existed to merge all the ips into one universe and it’s cool and all but it does sorta create those odd situations where a character is thought to be better in a different series so they figure out a way for the character to leave the storyline of the current comic series they are a part of so they can go to a different one. Which is from my understanding what Superboy did by going from super sons to like legion of superheroes or something ?? I don’t know. I don’t read the comics.
Anyways so while I do really love shared universes, I do kinda like it when they have little to no impact on each other so they can stay in their lanes. Cause sometimes it really does feel like a crossover more than an integrated universe. And I don’t really like crossovers all that much. Thought I appreciate the creativity. I do filter out crossovers in ao3 HAHAHAH but that’s mainly cause in crossovers I usually have only interacted with one of the medias.
Like one time I wanted to find any fix it fics or extended fics on that movie Epic that came out in the 2010’s and like I found maybe three that fit my very strict filters hahahahahahha. A lot of the fics that used epic was crossover as I think it was lumped into Brave, how to train your dragon, and Frozen, rise of the guardians crossover stuff. Which I’m not a big fan of.
Anyways this post has ran wildly out of control.
The best kind of post.
But yeah love it when things hit the sweet spot of either, “so good that I desperately need more” (Baulder’s Gate 3, IDW transformers), and/or “I love this media with all my heart but I don’t think they did enough with it/it got cancelled/felt like it had a rushed conclusion” (IDW transformers, Damian Wayne and Jon Kent, Ever After High).
