Ah my first ever >300 notes post 🥹. And on a post I gave a shit about making.

The fact that neurotypical and able-bodied people can’t comprehend that disabled people usually don’t like consistently being told “BEING DISABLED IS BAD!!! THE WAY YOU ARE IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG!!! YOU NEED TO BE CURED!!!” even in a ‘nice’ or ‘woke’ way shows how little they actually value our agency or even our worth as humans.

No, Stacy, I don’t want people fiddling with eugenics because they’re uncomfortable with me existing, I want you to. You know. Treat me like a person. Have help be there when I need it without treating me like I’m an invalid. Why is that apparently so much more difficult for you than telling me my existence is wrong and spending millions fiddling in a lab for unwanted “cures?” Whatever happened to listening to others and accepting them for who they are? Or do you only see disabled people as the poor, helpless invalids you can “help” cross the street without asking so you can get another Scouts badge?

naruto crack au where kakashi manages to successfully drill the "never abandon your comrades" thing into team seven's heads

so when sasuke deserts naruto and sakura immediately desert with him. like he gets to the village gates and they're just waiting for him bags packed like "what took u so long we doing this or what"

he tries to get them to go back bc of course he does. "no you losers this is about me i'm going to kill my brother. also i'll have to kill my best friend for the super sharingan and you two are like the only people i talk to". but they do not listen. teamwork sasuke we will defeat your brother (OUR brother #communism) with the power of teamwork. just like kakashi-sensei said

suddenly orochimaru has to deal with three horrible little goblins with an even more codependent relationship than his old team

I gave myself a writing challenge and I am fascinated by it

So basically I put the robins in a randomizer to give them a new order/role (because I just...kinda wanted to see what would happen + I like role-reversal AUs) and got results that are giving me a fucking brain blast.

Stephanie, the first sidekick who defines the role

Tim, the sidekick who dies and comes back wrong

Dick, the sidekick who saves Batman from himself

Damian, the sidekick who was never supposed to be a sidekick but would go on to prove everyone wrong

Jason, the youngest sidekick who is still the Kid Wonder

...So this is fucking wild. I've got some ideas and several of these fit perfectly (Dick's role is pretty similar to his one in canon), but some of these are fucking INCREDIBLE to explore (Steph being the first Robin is something I never even considered but tbh I kinda love it).

I probably won't write a fic or anything because tbh I don't like publishing my writing that much, but I might expand this into a full AU and post about it. I might randomize other stuff too (ie, stuff that I cannot change vs stuff that I cannot keep the same) but this fucking rules as a starting point.

i am so sorry to anyone who followed me for my writing and is getting stuck with 1d discussion rn. that was just my og fandom of my youth (amongst a few others) so it’s a big day for me to be annoying.

have you ever thought about publishing your fics with changed names

Oh CONSTANTLY. Who hasn’t had the daydream of like, selling a book and turning into the next JK Rowling (except, you know. NOT like JKR. I’m talking money-wise)

The thing is, that simply does not work with the type of story I’m writing. Most fics I’ve seen turned into books were AUs, with a strong individual premise that was different from the original piece of media. You can take an existing ship, change the names and plonk them in a different setting, and the results will automatically be very distinct from the thing that inspired you, to the point it might as well already be original fiction.

My stuff tends to be very, very tied into the canon Magic Dimension. I'm very good at exploring and fleshing out existing premises, and carving out details from soft systems, be they magical or political. I am TERRIBLE at coming up with those systems myself.

Also! I never have to put in the effort of introducing the characters! You know the characters, you know their dynamic and backstories, I can jump straight into the action and my fic is better for it. If I wanted to file off the serial numbers, I'd have to not only change the setting — which Valtor and Bloom and ValtorAndBloom are very tied into — I'd have to introduce their motivations, their personalities, their histories and relationships to other characters. These fics take place in season 3, there's a lot of stuff that makes them juicy that are ONLY juicy because they’ve been established to you in canon, way earlier. If I had to set everything up myself, the actual story I wrote would lose either a lot of momentum or a lot of impact.

So yes, I do think about that. But I don’t think it’s ever going to happen.

hi i saw your ask to applesauce and i just wanted to say im so proud of you for pulling yourself out of the radicalization pipeline, that takes true strength and bravery

thank you :) it’s tough because those spaces are excellent at conditioning people who have no involvement with the conflict whatsoever into a very absolutist “you must be thinking and talking about this issue at all times, otherwise you are a Bad Person who supports Bad Things and deserves to Die” mindset but really any “peace activist” whose “solution” relies on the complete demonization and dehumanization of another group of people does not care about peace or activism at all and i’m much happier now that i’ve stopped giving antisemitic bullshit any sway over my life. obviously does not absolve me from the harm i caused by being a part of it but i’m glad that i no longer am

my life has just been such fucking whiplash recently, like literally the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, i'm so dysregulated, i feel like time isn't moving at all and it's moving way way too fast, i don't have time for creative pursuits but then when i do have time i just sit there feeling the weight of the bad things that i'm failing to process, i have big professional and personal things coming up that i don't feel emotionally equipped to handle, my support system is fractured because of mental and physical health crises, fights, and other things that should be fixable but just Aren't for some reason, writing feels like all i have but it feels like i can never catch up, i'm always trying to catch up and it's too much, and i don't know when it will end or be normal again

[frogs-in3-hills]

anyways it’s funny that i say i prefer stories that work with themes on a bigger scale meanwhile my favorite piece of fiction in the entire world is nana by ai yazawa, which is so deeply embedded in its characters perspectives that it almost becomes apolitical. like i don’t know if ai yazawa fully realizes that nana k is a csa victim or that ren manipulates nana o with sex or that shin & reira’s relationship is unhealthy. she might or she might not.. it doesn’t matter what she thinks because she’s just fully uninterested in passing judgement on these things, instead focusing on portraying them and the characters’ experiences extremely authentically & leaving the viewer to interpret what it is and what it means. which counterintuitively makes them more compelling to me (the themes enjoyer…) only because she’s so fucking good at doing that. truly i have seen some very well-written characters but i have never seen anything like the characters in nana……..
