#wonderbat hate

"Free her" <— me every time I see anything wonderbat related

Serious question for batjokes shippers:

How does this ship work with BatDad. Like legitimate healthy batdad? Specifically batdad with Jason. Or Pseudo BatDad with Barbara. Like…I used to like “ha gaaaay” ship it as a joke back when I was in my marvel phase. Now that I’ve jumped into the deep end of dc, I hate Joker. Like, Joker literally broke Bruce’s family. Sure I can see that out of love some twisted love from Joker. But love from Bruce? I don’t see it.

So like genuine question: how does Jason and Barbara or Duke (or Tim from BMB/BMAU) work in the universe of BatJokes? For example, SuperBat or WonderBat, I see Jason and Barbara and Duke conversing and being with the family and having dinner with Bruce’s SO. Joker as the SO?

I don’t see anyone but Bruce at that dinner table.

(This doesn’t even cover the universe where joker’s the one that kills the Waynes)

"How'd you do it?" How'd you get him to marry you and stay that way?"

"Oh, it's easy. I wasn't a pussy like you".

"..."

Look, I don't have anything against BatCat. It was my first Batship alongside WonderBat but Gotham War really didn't do their relationship any favors. If the failed wedding was bad enough, this arc almost 'Pauled' their relationship. I hope the next writer finds a way to rewrite write the main continuitiy Bruce to not be a black and white viewing self righteous deranged prick and Selina as less of a hypocritical gaslighting crime lord.

I don't hate Selina and Bruce together, I hate the way they're written right now because seeing them bicker like divorced parents rather an old married couple and act out of character ruins the appeal of their relationship.

Wolverine x Storm has every right to be canon in live action and future animation.

As someone who loves the wonderbat ship, yeah you could say there are similar reasons to like the feral former soldier dating the demi goddess mutant. I'm super embarrassed for not noticing this ship much earlier in my life. I feel like shooting myself.

But this ship works, Logan has a temper and isn't exactly one of the friendliest x men characters but fans love him anyways. If I didn't know the character's backstory I would've hated him but I respect the guy.

Storm seems kinda opposite. She's kind, approachable but didn't live a normal life either. I won't argue with her being pared with black panther. Wait actually I want to because to me it feels like she's with T'challa because he's a king and no other reason.

I see more potential in her relationship with the animalistic rage bomb. What I said in the previous post about wonderbat can have similarities with RoLo ship. It can be funny, cute and a little steamy or spicy depending on the fanfic. To all the fanfic writers shipping this: Keep writing the ship!

Unlike the Miles x Gwen pairing, RoLo doesn't seem like a ship created to cover marvel's homophobic reputation. It feels natural and that it has every right to be canon. These two have had both romantic and sexual chemistry.

Not to mention the bad boy x goodie two shoes dynamic. Love those tropes! I actually like the animated stuff where Ororo is tall and Logan is short.

[sad-outsider]

I like ships with interesting dynamics, where both characters influence each other, teach each other something and simply complement each other (Darklina, Wonderbat). I may not like shipp for several reasons, such as it being incredibly toxic (Brutalia) or boring (Superwonder). Sometimes both (Batcat). But there are ships that I hate fiercely - those that lack the main thing that, in my humble opinion, is needed to build a relationship (any relationship, not just romantic) - acceptance. I believe that if a person cannot accept you for who you are, then you should do yourself a favor and tell that person to go to hell. It cannot be a choice of “should I be myself” or “should I be with someone”. You can’t build a relationship (any kind) on the foundation of denying your true self (yes, I’m talking about you, Mal, go to hell).

[unfortunately-obsessed]

Saying that I hate Nolan's Batman in a room full of man just to feel something

But here's a random list of my rating of different Batman that nobody asked because I love giving my opinion

The Dark Knight Trilogy: Solid Batman, hate the Bruce Wayne. Brucie, the public persona, is supposed to be a bimbo that cares for the city, not a rude arrogant prick that sinks the Wayne name. It completely butchered his relationship with Harvey too for... *checks notes* Rachel? Nahhh 2/10, a male fantasy movie but it gets one point for showing his training years and another for some cool one-liners

The Batman (2022) – I love the movie and that's top Batman to me, especially the last scene. Batman is a symbol of hope, compassion. I had the same problem as the Nolan's one for the larger portion of the movie: instead of using the Wayne Inc. to do good, he doesn't care about his parent's heirloom and drowns into being Batman. HOWEVER, it's pretty clear how raw and wounded he still is, and after the whole Riddler deal, I can see him turning this around and doing good as Bruce Wayne too. My fav live action movie but it gets a 8.5/10 on characterization

The Long Halloween, Comic – classic Batman, I like his personality and how he lets Batman and Bruce work together to do better to the city. A inspiration for the 2022 movie too. 9/10

The Long Halloween, Tomorrowverse – butchered the storyline and I shit you not Bruce says "I never thought I would need to do detective work to be Batman". Made him all muscle and no brain. Cool art but it doesn't even get a point for it, couldn't bring myself to watch more than 20 minutes of the part two. I kinda liked how he acts with Selina though. Yet, keeps it at -10/0

The Arkham Games – I watched the Arkham Knight gameplay like it was a movie and then watched scenes from other games on yt. That's the ideal way Batman operates to me. Thing dreams are made of. Also balanced on his public facade. 9/10

Batman The Animated Series, Timmverse – can't ask for better. Always offering rehabilitation to villains? Showing empathy for freeze and ivy and Harley!? and his friendship with Harvey? 10/10

Justice League: Unlimited – The timmverse gets him right and I love to notice how he progressed as a character. Love how they write Bruce's friendship with Clark and true partnership with other Leaguers. Also love his relationship with Diana, wonderbat forever. 10/10

Batman, Tv animation (2004) – The story is tailored to be palatable to kids so they changed some elements. It's fun to watch tho, 7/10

Batman Vs. Superman – guilt-ridden, PTSD older Batman? Pretty solid on the premise and I could see any Batman acting that way with enough groundwork. I just don't like the whole marking criminal and sending them to prison to die. Bruce wouldn't, doesn't matter how grief stricken he is. 8.8/10

Gotham (Tv Series) – Eh. Young chaotic Bruce. The focus of the series is on the villains and I didn't even pay too much attention to him tbh. I love a disaster teenager Bruce tho, 7.6/10

Young Justice – Gets points for bonding with Dick earlier in the series and for later showing him operating with a larger Batfam. Also accurate on the way Batman operates. He would leave the League because he's not about being part of a society or the status that come with it. The League had a purpose, which was facilitating saving people. Than he couldn't save people with it? He left. 9/10

Superhero Girls – exploring him being Kardashian-level celebrity?? Hilarious. But I don't like the other implications the show makes about him as Batman. 3/10

The Killing Joke, animated movie – something about how he acts throws me off. Older Batman but done badly. I think they don't work enough to drive him to murder. Should have left him kill Joker when Jason died. 2/10

Ninja Batman – The writers had LSD to write it. Insane. Hilarious. Didn't like that he was "oooh I don't have tech what will I do? :(" Batman is a survivalist so be for real. 4/10

Year Zero (comic) – hate that buzz cut. He wouldn't. Otherwise solid. Also another inspo to 2022 movie. 6/10

Year One (comic) – classic backstory, can't ask for anything else on personality matter. The fact he hallucinated a bat while he was concussed and thus made himself Batman because he thought it was rad? Peak characterization. 10/10

Harleen (comic) – He's not the focus of the story but I do love when they show how much sheer power the Wayne name carries. He has a steady hand over Gotham, a background influence constant and unwavering. Also that dialogue on the end where he's blaming himself for everything that happened even though it's not his fault? Yeah, it tracks. 9/10

Turning Points (comic) – the way he acts... He's such a theater kid. Also accurate on how Robin happened and I love he doesn't try to fight Gordon but humbly accepts Jim is going to hunt him if something happens to Robin. 9/10

There's a black and white one shot comic that Dan Mora made that I can't rember the name but?? Bruce adopting Jason, Dick and Tim in one go?? Can't go wrong for me. I am also not immune to how Mr. Mora draws Bruce. 100/10

The goal of this year is to watch more timmverse and read more comics with the batkids

20 questions for fic writers

Okay so hopefully I found all the people who tagged me in this game, thank you to @fleur-de-violette @goldenraeofsun and @wildsofmarch for the tag! (If you tagged me and I didn't see it, thanks to you too!)

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

Thirty-eight! I didn't realize there were so many.

2. What's your total AO3 word count?

50,029. A respectable number, but could be better

3. What fandoms do you write for?

DC Comics, but mostly Batman. I pretty much exclusively write fics for DC Comics, with the majority being Batman and Batfam-related comics. I have one single fic for another fandom, and that fandom is Avatar: The Last Airbender.

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

Tim Drake (Doesn't) Drink Coffee, which is also my first fic! It currently has 990 kudos

Do You Need Another Box of Tissues? which beats the next fic by 1 kudo, sitting at 242 kudos

Hypnogogic Jerks and Other Body Quirks is still one of my favorite titles! It has 241 kudos (update: I double checked before posting this and it now has 242 kudos, tying it for second place

Batman vs. Bridezilla has an even 200 kudos

And number five is Isern, which I'm a little shocked by considering it's currently my most recent fic. It has 156 kudos

5. Do you respond to comments?

I try to! I don't get a lot of comments, so it doesn't usually take me long to get through them, but I do tend to let them build up a bit before I answer them.

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Uhh good question. You're Just A Baby, You Can Not Fly is angst the whole way through, so maybe that one

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Realizing now that a lot of my fics are either angst or smut, soooo there's happy endings in most of the smut fics teehee. But also this one, Soda Pop, is sweet the whole way through.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

I'm fortunate enough that so far, I have not! I don't feel like I'm big enough to get hate

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

I do! Not sure how to describe what kind, but I've touched on a lot of smut things. This may be TMI, but I really like writing sex that also involves pain, I think it works so well with the Batfams gestures wildly everything.

10. Do you write crossovers?

No. I'm not opposed to the idea but it sounds too complicated for my writing tastes

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I've noticed or been told about

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Not that I know of! I would love to have it happen though

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Nope! I think it sounds fun but collaboration scares me sometimes because what if. what if I'm actually stupid. and my co-writer hates everything I come up with. Horrible thought

14. What's your all-time favorite ship?

My all-time favorite is a tough one to choose butttt I really like Wonderbat from Justice League Unlimited. Niche, I know, but it was my childhood ship and holds a special place in my heart. Never actually written something for it though!

15. What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you will?

Hoooooo-boy, I recently abandoned a buuuuunch of wips in my wip folder because I had named them random, unimaginative stuff, and simply didn't have the mental energy to go through them and see what was in them and rename them so I just put them all in a folder and started fresh. However, in that folder was another folder where I had a series planned based around Jason and a bunch of members of the Batfam. Each fic would have chapters from Jason's POV and another character. The first fic was Jason and Tim solving a missing persons case. I think Barbara's was them, like, getting trapped in a mall by the Joker, and I vaguely remember that Dick's took place in New York City.

16. What are your writing strengths?

I have no idea. Maybe my descriptions of stuff? I really like describing things in unexpected ways and trying to pull emotion into them. No idea if other people like it though!

17: What are your writing weaknesses?

I always feel like my flow is really bad. Like some places feel really slow and some places feel too rushed, if that makes sense. I also think that when I'm writing a character I always make the character feel a bit too distant, like I'm just describing what's happening to them instead of making the reader feel what's happening to them.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

Well you see, I have this bad habit of thinking I can just learn an entire language in an afternoon, which means that no writing actually gets done. So unless it's something I can a. easily translate from a dictionary (so a single word or a simple, common phrase) or b. ask one of my international friends to translate for me, I usually find another way to say it without using the actual language. Maybe sticking the words in italics, or the old classic "he said something in Russian".

19. First fandom you wrote for? 

Batman! As I said above, my first fic was Tim Drake (Doesn't) Drink Coffee. Before that I only wrote original stories.

20. Favourite fic you've written?

All these questions about fics when I don't remember anything about any fic I've ever written XD.

Probably either Gotham Roulette or Clock-Beat, Heart-Beat. Based off of popularity, Gotham Roulette is one of my least popular, but I still like it, it was so dramatic. And Clock-Beat was really fun to write, it's about the Batfam from the perspective of a clock.

And that's that!

Tagging @cephalog0d, @adelfie, @nelson-and-murdock, and whoever else wants to play!

Selina wrote a letter to Bruce to tell him why they can never last...

As I write these lines, we're around DC Comics's Batman(2016) Issue 135 and Catwoman(2018) Issue 55 and things between the Bat and the Cat have gone rather bad lately. We are far from the glamorous wedding most of the BatCat fans dreamed about before Batman Issue 50.

I cannot really understand the hate some writers get because of the way they write both characters drifting more and more apart... I remember back then, several Issues after the "WonderBat Issues" (Batman #39 and #40), how I tried to cool down some of those shippers with some hard facts scattered all over the earlier Issues.. They were deaf to any argument.. now some of those same shippers start to hate BatCat ...

I agree teasing the romance the way it was done was not really fair but it wasn't as if the readers weren't warned.

With what happens lately between Bruce and Selina I wondered at what point Tom King tried first to show that BatCat was a dead end.. and I didn't honestly expect it to be this early ...

The first time Selina appears in TK's Run is in the very last panel of Batman's Issue 9.. Nothing there...

But then in the next Issue ... DC Comics Batman(2016) #10 written by Tom King and Pencilled by Mikel Janin ... I wasn't expecting anything either ... but I was wrong.

Once reading Selina's arguments I couldn’t help but to wonder why Tom King sent Bruce and Diana into Gehenna ... and teased them as a couple again.

(Edited from DC Comics Batman(2016) Issue #40 and #50)

To get TK's message from Issue 10 about the fate of the upcoming romance you needed to read Selina's letter to Bruce ...

There are handwritten sentences, I suspect intently scattered all over the 10th Issue, picture after picture, panel after panel, .. In a way you get either bored about the stuff and just ignore it for the real action, or you mix it up with the rest of the story and get a little confused.. You need to read Selina's sentences in one row and ignore the rest to understand easier her letter.

You'll find the first part of the letter at the end of the post. It is about Selina's youth and explains the reason why she supposedly killed 237 people.

So lets skip that first part and go directly to where Selina talks about "them" ... the Bat and the Cat ..

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

Sure there are some undeniable similarities ...

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

OK, that was a better argument than the animal costumes, and I can get the feeling, the idea, but Selina immediately points out that it is only a fleeting moment, “a second, just that second.. “… Seems rather thin to marry someone and Selina doesn't get fooled either by that fact because ...

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

There it is ! ... in the important, good ways, ... we are not the same at all... and that's why the kiss never lasts ... "the kiss" being a metaphor for their relationship ... Selina knows they don't really fit together and can't make it work because in things were it really matters, where it matters as a couple, they are too different ... she even explains ... where those differences find their roots : He wants to make a better world, while She doesn't care about changing the world for the better, she just want to destroy those who hurt her and those she loves...

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

Here Selina tries to explain why she is the way she is and why Bruce is so different from herself.. She seems to consider that she had it worse because she never had that "first paradise".. Maybe, maybe not.. I can't decide if it is worse to have known “Paradise” only to loose it, or to never have known what you would have to loose ... was it easier to be alone in a giant Manor with an old Butler for only company or to live in an Orphanage with other kids to play even if it ended badly a little later.. hard to say but both resulting personalities seem understandable..

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

In that last part Selina finally tells us what would be needed for the two of them to get a chance to make a relationship work ... Bruce needs to give up his dream of a better future, to give up his fight for a better world, he needs to give up hope, ... he needs to forget about the lost love of his Parent ... and surely Alfred's love as well ... then, and only then, Selina tells us ... "the kiss" will finally last.

This pretty much means Bruce needs to quit being himself, quit being Batman .... Does anyone see this happening anytime soon ? ... never ? yeah that's what I thought too.. and Selina knows this just as well as anyone else. Selina doesn’t even consider changing herself to make it work.

Unlike Selina, Diana shares Bruce's dream of making a better world, she wouldn't want him to forget about the love of his parents, Diana wouldn't want him to feel left behind ... According to Selina's own words, Bruce and Diana are alike in the important, good ways, and that means their “kiss" if it ever happened would last...

Now you understand why Tom King mischievously added WonderBat in his run, then sent Bruce and Diana to Gehenna and made them say:

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 40)

Tom King didn’t include Steve Trevor in the “Double Date” like he did with Lois and Clark. He intentionally excluded Steve and Selina from the picture to tease about Diana and Bruce as a couple. Unlike the "BatCat kiss" the "WonderBat kiss" can never happen ... because unlike BatCat, who will break up every time as Selina explained it, WonderBat is bound to last against all odds...

Diana and Bruce’s refrained love already lasts for decades even without a real relationship...

For those who want the whole letter ...

In the first, longer part of the letter, Selina is writing about her own youth and why she was supposed to have killed all those 237 people... The killing is not really important because we'll learn later that someone else did it : Holly Robinson, and Selina just took the blame ... so that part of the letter is a lie... but Holly and Selina shared that youth, shared the life in the orphanage and the bombing, the burning, the horror ... so when she talks about anything aside the killing, she talks about herself.

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

Sad story indeed for a little girl... You can't help but to want to support the little Selina, help her, love her ...Selina hardly talks about Holly's perspective here. What would be the point ?... But Holly surely shared Selina's trauma from the orphanage's tragedy.

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

Both Selina and Holly had to be present and survive that bombing.. The emotional description of the burning horror, especially the burning picture of the Waynes only makes sense from Selina's POV, imo... it feels too personal to be someone else's POV.

(Edited from DC Comics Batman (2016) Issue 10)

Like I said the killing is a Lie from Selina to protect someone that she love enough to sacrifice her own life for... and it is not Bruce. In most Catwoman runs from the past Selina had always some female character that she cared more about than Bruce.

enabling your hater behavior…top 3 least favorite ships and why? can be from any fandom or all the same fandom. the only requirement is that you hate and drag them as much as you want

ive been a bit of a hater recently and man, i think its actually good for my skin, the fandom uses everything i like as a punching bag so its a healing thing for me

number 1. jonjay, character assassination, problematic and boring. the worst combination, i could go on and on about why i hate it but who cares. i hate it strong enough to put it in my bio though

number 2. timkon. i hate this ship sooooo much omfg i hate timkon so bad. KEEP TIM AWAY FROM CONNER.

so actually scrap this, any tim ship but especially timkon AUGH

superbat is 3. omg i hate this ship so bad. its the straightest gay ship and I HATE HOW THE SHIPPERS TALK ABOUT DAMIJON. go away

number 4. dickbabs. tom taylor i will find you.

number 5. twobat. the shippers are just insufferable omg but im sure the ship is good

number 6. i dont hate it but dickroy got ruined for me because the shippers are toxic asf.

number 7. damijay. for obvious reasons, i can actually mentally understand some jay ships because i believe jay shouldnt have ever been in the batfam so i understand people who walk about it like hes not although ALSO at least make it not a literal child, thats all to ask. also timdami. please please kill yourself if you ship that omg

number 8. sladick. or any slade ship. hes nasty and a r*pist. stop it.

number 9. wonderbat or wondersuper. pls kys STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT

number 10. bluepulse. just weird. its like gay damirae. its so damirae but people don’t realize it because its gay. it also screams that you dont care about these characters in actuality

number 11 and 12. not hating it but jayeddie or damilin. like they interacted a handful of times and never will. let it go. a lot of the people who ship this dont actually care abour jason or damian… its weird…

[littlestfallenangel]

Okay, scattered thoughts on the Justice League x RWBY movie:

This is some of the best characterization of Blake out of anything in RWBY. The fact that she would have grown up around anti-Faunus violence was something that never got brought up in the actual show. This movie gave me a whole new appreciation for her just with that one conversation.

Lots of things the Justice Leaguers said or did seemed really stupid and needlessly mean but the way it comes together in the end is actually really clever.

Jessica is ours now, sorry DC nerds

Jaune is amazing

Even knowing where it goes, I still hate the weird jealousy thing with Renora and cyborg

Last minute Wonderbat and Weiss love triangle was also weird and out of nowhere and was so little a thing that I almost wanted to overlook it but also what was the point?

Supes and Ruby talking about leadership was a bit shallow for my liking. I'm not too upset about this since Ruby questioning herself is like the whole plot of Volume 9, anyway.

Bees were cute

Blake got to say a swear, now let Ruby say fuck

Piano dude knows exactly what show he's in

Seriously DC if you don't treat Jessica right I'm calling child protective services and the FNDM is taking custody

[uhhhyaenbyjade]

@mimbotomy tagged me in a fun tag game for fanfic writers, so here's my answers!!!!

How many works do you have on AO3? I have 62 total works, and I am so disappointed in a lot of them 😅

What's your total AO3 word count? 339,839 words!

What fandoms do you write for? Lately I've been working a lot on fics with AC: Odyssey, Monsterverse, and VicTORIous. However, I did recently do a fic for Mean Girls (2024) and I used to write a lot for BNHA/MHA, when I was very big on that fandom, but all those fics are really bad and cringe so I try to pretend they don't exist. I also have some batfamily fics, and a few for Dynasty. A few oneshots here and there with that fic being my only work in the fandom. And how could I forget, Horizon!

What are your top 5 fics by kudos? Confidence - What a Hero Needs - this annoys me so much, it was my first fic, EVER. I wrote it 4 years ago, and it's still my most popular, I've written much better stuff. I've even REWRITTEN THIS ONE AND THE OG IS STILL MORE POPULARR GKHDGHJHWJHK Apects Unknown - or are they? - a fun batfamily and wonderbat based fic off of my own mini-universe. Very cute, and very proud of this fic Perseverance - What a Hero Needs - the immediate follow up to Confidence. Again, I've written a lot better stuff "What? I like hero merch!" - My favorite crack fic I've written. Also BNHA/MHA based, but this was just fun and cute Among (Us) the Villains - yet another BNHA/MHA fic, but this time it's based about Izuku being friends with the LoV. And gaming with them. Made around the time of Among Us, hence the title

Do you respond to comments? I try, especially once I post something new. But honestly, a lot of my responses end up being just hearts or "thank you's" and it personally makes me feel like I'm being disingenuine when i respond with them too much

What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I suppose Kumandra's Heart? But that was more sad than angst, I think?

What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Pretty Girls, my Mean Girls (2024) fic!!!! I love this one so much, it's one of the few I go back and reread often! Basically a rewrite of the movie to be a lot gayer.

Do you get hate on fics? Oh yeah, there was this one marvel fic I did, and this one commenter was really mad that I wasn't going exactly as canon dictated. Because of course

Do you write smut? If so, what kind? I have a few fics with smut, and it's mainly kink-based. Definitely love involved too, but very kink-based.

Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? Yes! I enjoy it a lot! My craziest one would probably have to be the one I'm currently writing, combining the Assassin's Creed universe and Legendary's Monsterverse. It's called Ancients Risen Anew, and based on Kassandra joining MONARCH after the G-Day event in 2014!

Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge! I made all my fics available only to registered users for the purpose of keeping them as safe as I can while still sharing them.

Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope! Would love to see it happen though!

Have you ever co-written a fic before? Nope! It sounds interesting to do though!

What's your all time favorite ship? I would have to say Jade West/Tori Vega. The good old classic gay couple from Nickelodeon, as much as we hate how that era of TV was behind the scenes. A close second would probably be Aloy/Seyka, from Horizon. I just love them so much, they're my little blorbos (i think i used that term right :D)

What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? I have a few, but I'll talk about Cascade for now. It's the marvel fic I mentioned earlier, and I kinda lost all interest in marvel recently. The last media I saw was The Marvels, and I enjoyed it a lot, but I kinda got oversaturated with too much Marvel stuff, and not enough of it was as amazing like Shang-Chi was to make me wanna stay interested. Will definitely watch the stuff I'm interested in though (anything with Kate Bishop and Yelena)

What are your writing strengths? Hmmmm, tough one. I would say lore. I love writing lore and explaining lore. I am also very good at writing outlines.

What are your writing weaknesses? Fight scenes. Especially fast paced ones. I love the choreography in movies, but how am I supposed to translate the fast-paced combat into writing in a way that feels natural????

Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? I have done this for a short story! Please go check it out, its non-fandom related so it didn't get traction, but oh my god i did so much research for it and I love it. It's called Children of Níðhǫggr!

First fandom you wrote for? Boku no Hero Academia / My Hero Academia. Please, end me

Favorite fic you've written? How the fuck am I supposed to choose just one?!??!?! I'll limit myself to five, to keep this short, lol Ink & Sparks - which is my favorite Jade West/Tori Vega fic. I rewrote it several times, and the version linked is the best one I've done. Please check it out, I love it so much! There's More To Life Than Surviving! - Honestly, this one is a contender for top fic. A crack fic, but for Ninjago! Loved it a lot The Titan of the Pearl - A very nice fic I wrote combining the Pirates of the Caribbean and Godzilla. Because I can Kumandra's Heart - A slight ending rewrite of Raya, the Last Dragon, which is my personal favorite Disney Princess movie Pretty Girls - the Mean Girls (2024) fic I mentioned earlier. I love this one so much, and like I said, I keep going back to reread it, that's how much I enjoy it Going to tag @aeide, @hartlesshart, @foibles-fables, and @spectres-n-knights for this! And if anyone else wants to, please go ahead!

/// Rant: Just a post detailing the things I didn't like in the Beyond comics that I remember or have seen since setting this blog up. I'll probably sandwich some things I did like in here too so it's not all negative. These are all just my opinions. If you like something from this list, cool. You do you, I'll do me.

Okay so starting with things that I read completely through a few years ago. Dick Grayson clones. Not sure why Amanda made these. But the only real thing I personally liked from Hush Beyond was the introduction of a new Catwoman. I also liked that she broke the trope of Catwoman/Batman, making her much more unique to herself. As much as I like Selina/Bruce (and I do), a new generation of something doesn't and shouldn't have to be a carbon copy of the original. Which I think is why I like the cartoon so much. They played with a lot of the same tropes, but they tackled them in different ways. Because Terry isn't Bruce and these villains and problems aren't the same. (except for Viktor)

Next, JLB... Well I have it in my rules and about... but, Zod/Superboy had a great initial backstory. He was the son of Jax-ur and was born in the Phantom zone. Superman and the gang rescue him and Supes adopts him. Would have been great to leave it there. However, they ruined it, the idea of what the Justice Lords actually are, and Wonder Woman all in one fell swoop. Before this arc, these comics were actually going pretty good imo. Please read them and stop as soon as you see Wonder Woman or "Lord" Superman. But then every other comic at the time suddenly was doing something with Earth 3... so I guess maybe they were pressured to as well? Either way this arc sucked. They decided to treat the Justice Lords like Earth 3 characters. Which doesn't work if you actually watched those episodes. Even if you ignore the fact that Luthor's device took their powers AWAY in their episode... The Justice Lords aren't """evil""" versions of the JL. They're versions that go to the extreme to keep people safe. There's a very big difference here in characterization. To add them into the plot and just have them be like --- generic evil superman??? doesn't work. You haven't comprehended anything if that's what you got from the Justice Lord's cartoon plotline.

And they set this up with Wonder Woman from the DCAU having decided to go back to the Justice Lord's universe to help fix things. She's apparently been there the WHOLE time. It's very in Wonder Woman's character to help those in need so I'm okay with her hopping over to set things straight. But she also feels responsibility to her own world, there's no way she'd stay that long EVEN with the romance sub-plot they gave her and Justice Lord's Batman. And any look around my blog should tell you WonderBat is my jam. I go for that in a plotline. Well it helps me hate that plotline more actually, because they had "Lord" Superman kill "Lord" Batman. To stop the fighting "Lord" Superman and Wonder Woman agree to have a baby. That's Zod apparently. Which was squirreled away to the Phantom Zone with Jax-Ur. None of that makes any sense at all ever. It made so little sense it actually makes me really angry. lol. Wonder Woman would never agree to something like that AND "Lord" Superman has never ever indicated that he wanted something like that. Nor do I think he would have killed "Lord" Batman. Considering, the reason they're all the way they are is because they failed to save Wally. HHHH Anyway. Later comic plots I remember hating. Terry is missing and for some reason past/current timeline Tim has the Beyond suit. NGL, if you put anyone besides Terry ( MAYBE Bruce) in the suit, you've lost the plot. You don't get it. Just leave please. I will not see it. Even worse, they made Terry the main villain of that plot line. Brainwashed, but still. :') Not a fan at all of any of this.

Oh there was also a little comic that took place in the past where Barbara revealed to Bruce that she was pregnant with his baby. And Bruce urged her to get an abortion that she didn't want. First off-- I never liked the Bruce/Babs stuff in the cartoon to start with. Second-- Bruce would never. He is so dad coded. :/

And now for things I've seen in passing.

Just getting this out of the way rn--- I assume they've killed Mary McGinnis off due to the boys living with Bruce now and the way Terry talks about her. I don't typically like when series fridge their female characters but, I feel kinda indifferent kinda "Well of course they did, why am I not surprised?" about it. We really didn't get much for Mary in the cartoon besides the fact that she's a normal, caring, single mother. There's not much there. Barely got any time on screen with Terry and most of it was just lecturing him or telling him about whatever chores he needed to do. So maybe that's why it doesn't quite bother me as much as other women's deaths in comics. I still don't particularly like the move, but there are worse things I've seen so far that make me more upset. Probably would have been fine to just have Mary living there with the boys and Bruce instead tbh.

Also weird, it FEELS like everyone and their mother knows Bruce is Batman, the way everyone talks to him. Which is also just weird to me.

Anyway, Damian... Damian.... Where do I start. This one feels like the Justice Lords problem. There's already a set up in the cartoon that would contradict what they did. They had Damian running the LOA from what I can tell. He still had Goliath. Which was nice I'll admit. But 1) Damian wouldn't WANT to run the LOA. 2) I highly doubt Damian would have been okay with what his grandpapa did to his mother. 3) They played it off like Bruce knew about Damian from what I saw. Bruce would never allow Damian to be raised by the LOA if he knew abt him. As I said earlier, Bruce is dad coded.

Then there's Matt. Well I like Robin Matt as a concept. I like the circumstances of it being an emergency as to why he took up the mantle, I like that Bruce recognized that if they didn't train Matt, Matt would try to do the hero stuff on his own. What I didn't like? JOKERS BACK AGAIN BABY, HERE TO BRAINWASH THE NEW ROBIN!!! Seriously, how are you gonna rehash a plotline that was already done LEAGUES better. Please let the clown stay dead!!!!!!!!! That's all I got in me to rant about today. On a nicer note, I still don't know how I feel abt Batwoman, but I like that her design is very Kate Kane but with Nightwing's color palette.
