update

A bit of an update, we will be delaying the zine, for how long we aren’t sure. Its best for the zine & for everyone. It will give us a chance to regroup and get a bigger & stronger mod team on board to help with the work load behind the scenes to make this zine run smoothly.

We will be reopening mod applications to get a team to help not only run the zine but help sort & organize what is happening. If you are interested or know someone who is willing to lend a hand it will be a great help to us.

The link to applications can be found in the link tree

getting a new hyperfixation is hilarious when it starts feeding one of your old hyperfixations like some kind of feedback loop. i read the aubrey-maturin books in a little over a month, I can barely think about anything else, and now i’m using them to inspire star wars fanfiction. if you see me stealing scenes from The Surgeon’s Mate for my fics no you don’t

#mostly it’s given me a loose mental frame of reference for naval warfare lmao #major thanks to patrick obrian for copying down real-life naval actions almost shot-for-shot in the early books and making them less boring #also shoutout to Stephen Maturin for being the Character Of All Time #‘Irish-Catalan physician-naturalist-spy who’s also catholic and extremely sensitive’ truly iconic character concept #he has nothing to do with my fics i’m just deeply enamored

reading the aubrey-maturin books has transformed how i approach writing and outlining (mostly by making me realize that there are so many more tools in my toolbox than i knew) but now the sense of total freedom is in itself a little intimidating

#thank god for fanfic #i always feel way more free to fuck around and find out with fic #and i think my writing really needed that #thanks to patrick obrian i too will show major events only in reported speech #and pick and choose very carefully what we do and don't see of character's actions #and describe what the light looks like a whole lot #ideally while using the word 'nacreous'#really not sure why it took the aubrey-maturin books specifically to make a lot of this stuff click tho loll #i've seen all these techniques used before #i just haven't been able to see so clearly WHY they're being used #or at least i think that's what's happening

um could I request Conner Kent with a male reader who is just like him. Reader is a clone of another hero made by Cadmus, but the reader is a year or two older. When Conner and their first meet is during his initial escape and him coming apart from the team, and them bonding over them being clones. What would their relationship be like.

Conner Kent x Plastic Man Clone Male Reader

Headcanons

Reader is a clone of Plastic Man, cuz I love him.

Heyo my Hatchlings, how has everyone been doing? I finally finished up my assignment and I’m finally back. Did you guys miss me?

As a clone of Plastic Man, you put a good amount of people on edge when you appeared. Seeing as Plastic Man is very much immortal and unbeatable in the long game, they feared if you were good or evil, as there wouldn’t really be any way to defeat you if you turned out to be bad.

Luckily for them, you turned out to be as good of a guy as a clone of Plastic Man could be. You weren’t completely black and white, and sure you stole sometimes, and had a habit out of causing problems for corrupt people in power, but who were they to blame you.

You lived with Patrick Obrian, since he’s the closest thing you have to a family, and he never even had the thought of rejecting you because of your clone status. If anybody knows what its like to be judged and struggling to exist, its him.

Patrick plays an active supportive role in your life, and he teaches you how to use your powers. You end up being very skilled at the shapeshifting part of your shared powers. Sure, you still stretched, grew or shrank in size, anything Plastic Man could do, but you enjoyed shapeshifting the most. You even got a hang on switching colors, something Patrick struggled with.

When Young Justice was cooked up, you were one of the first they placed on the team. Mainly because of how powerful you were, and since part of them wanted to keep an eye on you, just in case.

You never took anything too seriously, it just came with the territory of being a clone of Plastic Man. Live life and all that. You did get into some arguments with different members of the team when it comes to morals, but that’s to be expected of a team.

When the team finds and rescues Conner, you immediately feel a level of kinship with him. Your clone status isn’t known outside of the league, so the knowledge Conner was born with doesn’t let him know you are a clone too.

As everyone tries to figure out what to do with Conner, you just settle down beside him, your stretched limbs dragging closer to you until they’re the normal length, where you offer him a snack or something to drink.

“Youd think they’d be better at dealing with clones, huh?” you joke, chewing on your own snack as he just looks at you, still confused and on edge about everything.

At his questioning glance, you lift your goggles and wink at him, pointing a thumb at yourself as you almost proudly declare yourself a clone of the best member of the justice league, if you were to be asked anyways.

As the league tries to figure it all out, you sit with Conner and just talk his ear off, never letting him wallow to far and making it harder for him to overhear the negative things said about him. Only Patrick knew, but the League fearing that you’d turn evil still weighed on you, and you didn’t want Conner to deal with the same thing.

Its only after you’ve made him smile and laugh that you accept that you’ve done your duty. When its time to leave you give him a way to contact you, and give him another cheesy wink before pulling your goggles back on, telling him that you clones should stick together.

Over time you become one of the people Conner is closest too, especially when he isn’t as welcomes by the people around him as he had hoped. This angers you and by extension Patrick, but your father figure just rolls his eyes and says he isn’t surprised.

In the beginning Conner spends a lot of time with you and Patrick, but mainly you, since you are closer in age. To be someone to look up too, you even stop with your petty crime for a while, just so your bad reputation won’t rub off on Conner.

Seeing him mingle better with the team, you take a happy step back and let him build the relationships he craves. Because of your different opinions and looser morals, you never became much more than acquaintances with the team, but seeing your fellow clone happy is enough for you.

But even as Conner gets closer to the team, he still holds onto you, since you were the first person to show him casual kindness without any suspicion or wanting something in return. You also have a lot more life skill than he does, so going to you for advice is normal for him.

When the time comes, you were most likely the one to leave the young justice team first out of everyone. You just don’t fit into their dynamic, and you run best on your own or with your father figure. Its hard to be an immortal who would never get to experience true normal life on a team of people who could.

You don’t leave the league, but you become more of a contractor, someone they call in when they need the help. You keep beating up bad guys, but you also fall back on the familiar feeling of crime. You only steal from those that deserve it though, and use your shapeshifting to easily get away with it.

It becomes a bit of a running gag, as the league always sends the young justice team after you since you aren’t an actual lethal threat. It kinda becomes training for them, and since Meghan can’t ever find you through mind powers, they have to work hard to find you.

When Conner leaves the team you to go out for drinks. Who cares about your ages. Seeing your father figure, you could be thousands of years old and never age physically, so it didn’t matter to you.

If your relationship was romantic, this would most likely be where it developed further, since Conner would be less tied to the team, and he could spend more time with you.

If your relationship isn’t romantic, it would still develop from here, just become more brotherly. You always joke you’re the batman to his superman, always shapeshifting into batman when you do, much to Conners fake annoyance.

Honestly even if it became romantic, youd still transform into batman and make kissy faces at him, since superbat is probably a running gag in the league.

You guys go on dates, even if its platonic, just to spend time together, maybe travel the world a bit, or even travel space, since you could easily survive away from earth. Theres probably also some very deep conversations about existence and your worth, since being a clone and always being treated like one weigh heavy on anyone.

When it truly hits Conner how much you struggle with your own role as a clone, he’s a bit surprised. Hed never imagined you were just completely fine, but you had always seemed to let the comments and suspicion roll off your back.

All in all, you two have each other’s back, always. The bond you have is deep in the way only two people created the same place for the same purpose can have. So, no matter if its romantic or platonic, you two become a familiar sight on and off the battlefield.

some thoughts on diana villiers, perhaps?

YAY

First impression: i loved how smart she was but was a bit prejudiced because she didnt treat my favourite character that well. all who stand against maturin shall fall.

Impression now: i love her i think about her minimum once a week. i love how she seems like such a real character. while jack and stephen are off adventuring it always feels like diana is being a main character of her own story (we just dont get to read it). rip girl u would have loved fiona apple. she is so tragic and also nothing happened to her and she lived forever

Favourite moment: when stephen comes home and shes like get in babe i have so much to tell you. let me find it hang on

"He walked up the stairs and opened the door gently. As he had expected, Diana was still in bed, pink and sleepy. ‘Oh Stephen,’ she cried, sitting up and opening her arms. ‘What joy to see you – I was thinking of you not five seconds ago.’ They embraced: she looked at him tenderly. ‘You are surprisingly well,’ she said. ‘Have you had breakfast?’ Stephen nodded. ‘Then take off your clothes and come into my bed. I have countless things to tell you.'" (The Yellow Admiral)

Idea for a story: patrick obrian diana spinoff when. patrick obrian. listen to me patrick obrian i am speaking directly into your ear now. ouija board me the plot.

Unpopular opinion: If Diana Villiers has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Diana Villiers has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Diana Villiers has only one fan then that is me. If Diana Villiers has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Diana Villiers, then I am against the world.

Favourite relationship: hard to pick. i love her relationship with stephen of course. i talk about them so much that my friend (who has not read the books nor seen the movie) was trying to describe her relationship and she was like "were like stephen and diana"

Favourite headcanon: hm.... i like to think that she was eventually a good mother to brigid
