There are only so many fanfics that use the entirety of DC as cardboard cutouts to prop up bat family characters that I can read before I go berserk.
I swear to god. Every character that has ever been shipped with a bat or coexists on the same team as a bat is owed an apology.
How many Young Justice fanfics that solely revolve around Tim must exist? How many Titans fanfics centered only on Dick? Why is it a herculean task to find a Justice League fanfic without Bruce as the main character?
And then even when you do find a fic that seems like it's balanced, everything still revolves around the bat. Like Kon, Cassie and Bart have nothing else going on in their lives except Tim and Tim's issues or thinking about Tim. Like Donna and Wally and Roy just cannot function if they aren't spending every waking moment thinking about Dick.
I'm... Guys. I'm at my limit. I swear to god. We need to make a Batman tag and surgically remove all these fics and quarantine them there. We'll keep the actual DC fics and they can do whatever the fuck they want in their own tag. It's getting ridiculous how hard it is to find fanfic that's actually DC related and isn't just 'The BatFam Show'.

the thing is. fic writers do what they can to ensure that nobody reads fic that they don't wanna read. we tag content, put things under readmores, some don't post whole works here, just links to ao3. if you read a fic, it's because you came to the fanworks site and CHOSE to read a fic. you didn't filter fic related tags, you didn't block writers, no. you found a fic, read it and had a sook about it. nobody is EVER going to cry enough that people will stop writing fics. that's just how fandom is. don't join a fan community if you don't wanna see people partaking in fannish activities.

dang the kafka companion quest is really neat. i wish i'd picked cooler answers, but thankfully the internet exists. this is like... major lore. and also just the vibes around fate and free will and choice. video games are so perfect for stuff like this <3

// venting weird fandom feelings
I feel like I must be the only person who gets stressed af when I see someone else post their headcanons/theories for something i already have a lot of headcanons/theories about. Like, “oh shit someone else already did it now I can’t :(. If I post mine I’m stomping on their turf” or like I feel like mine are now wrong because clearly this person knows more about the topic than me or knows something I don’t. Which is wild because I should be excited when I see people who like the same things I do, but instead I feel weirdly territorial. I just have an odd inferiority complex about it

Backstage shenanigans
(and before you ask: yes you can hit someone in the face by launching a shoe at them with your foot. I speak from personal experience) (also it is a fun game)

Have you thought about drawing AU versions for Liko and other Horizons characters?
(And to whoever left that last ask I do like the idea of Nessa x Misty:)
Nah. I haven't watched the new anime yet so I have no strong feelings for those kiddos. But more than that, I don't see any reason for them to meet Ash's gang.
None of the HZ kiddos have similar interests to anyone from the Ashnime, they don't have goals that could align with other folk's and allow any reasonable encounters so.. yeah. Unless the anime gives them something to do unrelated to Lucius in the upcoming years, nah, don't see myself touching any of the HZs original characters.
