dick chose damian to be robinβ¦ damian is the only one to have been chosen by the originalβ¦ is it because he saw himself in damianβs anger? saw an isolated boy who had lost everything he knew and was wrought with rage because it was the only emotion he knew to handle? saw himself, ten, eleven, twelve, willing to get blood on his hands to enact justice, and said, i see you
and what if i said that, in return, damian is too much like bruce. naturally this is why he finds solace in dick graysonβs stability.

If you get this, answer w/ three random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifs. Anon or not, doesn't matter, let's get to know the person behind the blog!
(p.s. hello, my sometimes-nemesis :3)
i have an annotated copy of the spider-man: homecoming script
i am allergic to carrots
iβm currently level 1351 on tetris
Am I allowed to ask for encouragement for a fic Iβm writing?? π I wonβt get into details but it is in the Marvel universe, but I donβt post fics anywhere and none of my friends are interested in what I write so Iβm just writing for myself own enjoyment at this point :( your a BIG inspo but every time I think of continuing my fic I canβt help but compare to all of the ones Iβve read from you! Any advice on possibly feeling more secure about the way I write? And maybe on how to compare less? I need help π nobody even knows I write aside from close friends π₯
you absolutely are allowed to ask for encouragement. art cannot exist within an echo chamber! it needs artists and writers uplifting and inspiring eachother to improve and create.
i think that writing for your own enjoyment is incredibly important. if you are writing something that you would want to read, something that youβre passionate about, a trope you love, a character you loveβ the right people will see that passion! thatβs what art is all about, baybee! as my close personal friend mia dolan from the hit movie la la land says, βpeople love what other people are passionate about.β
at the end of the day, itβs important to remember that writing is a skill. like all skills, it requires practice, and working muscles in new ways that will often feel awkward: especially if youβre new to it, or havenβt done it in a while. the best possible thing you could do is just do it. write it. even if itβs βshittyβ. even if you hate it when itβs done.
after you write, and you find yourself thinking negatively about the work, give your brain a little break. go watch a movie or read a book, or something else that inspires you and encourages you to do something creative. when you come back to the writing you did, you will either (a) know how to improve it, or (b) realize it isnβt actually as bad as you thought. (at least thatβs how it works out in my experience.)
lastly, I donβt think itβs bad to take inspiration from the writers that you look up to. especially when youβre starting out! a good way that I got comfortable with my own βwriting voiceβ was by rewriting my favourite scenes from movies. I would have to describe in words what each character was doing, what they were thinking, and it gave me a lot of insight on how my brain translated ideas into a written narrative. maybe that would be an exercise you could benefit from. let me know if you try it, Iβd love to know if it helps :-)

I love love love your mama red and the ducks of park row fic!!! it'ss so fucking cute and funny!! I love this characterization of jason, itβs so sweet! I was wondering if you were comfortable with podfics being made of your works? I would only post here on ao3, with credit, and with only my real human voice (fuck ai). no shade at all if you aren't comfortable with it, but if you are I would love to make a podfic for this story! let me know :) either way, thank you for writing such a cute story!!!
(also, I commented on ao3, but figured you might not have seen it! sorry if you have and this is pushy, but I thought it might be worth a shot to reach out on here )

kinda wanna see peter's letterboxd
βif loving me means letting go and wishing me the bestβ¦ I wish, i wish i wish i wish you loved me less.β but itβs pepper trying her very best in those last few days to help tony fall less in love with her so that he stays longer. She knows his love is self destructive and she knows he only knows how to love something if it means giving himself for it. She pulled away from him, she encouraged him to avoid the news, tried to make sure that he sees only the day to day life and now humanity as a whole.
But tony stark loves humanity and thereβs nothing anybody can do about that, even if it would save his life. She couldnβt persuade him to feel anger towards the world for the life of her.
She wishes he loved them all less. But he doesnβt and canβt. He loves humanity so much that he cannot consider himself as an art of it long term.
fotibrit.
willing and able by noah kahan but itβs tony stalking to JARVIS and trying hard to see it as Jarvis but knowing that every response, tony coded himself. Tony wishes he could know Jarvis. and JARVIS wishes he could know Tony much more sometimes. But when Jarvis was alive, tony wasnβt willing. And now, Jarvis isnβt able. So tony has JARVIS and tries to pretend itβs the same thing
at the dinner table when I got this notif and audibly went βoh god.β
this is what happened when peter came out to tony btw

i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.
past a certain note threshold on tumblr posts you unlock a bloodborne-esque insight and the strange lives of this site's users become visible to you
(x)
we fucking found them?
Ok I know we joke about this but I just went to the settings and first clicked "adjust for best performance" and then re-checked only 1 box:
"Smooth edges of screen fonts"
My computer was running hot before I turned everything off; the office I'm in is very warm, I could feel the heat of my CPU through the keyboard. The fans were going, not as loud as they usually get, but they were still blasting.
Y'all.
I can barely feel the warmth through the keyboard now. It's been like 2 minutes. The fan is nearly silent.
Click the Windows key and start typing "System settings", and "View Advanced system settings" will pop up. Then click "Settings" under Performance:
Then you'll see this:
TURN IT ALL OFF.
I turned "Show window contents while dragging" and then turned that off again. It's up to you.
My computer is so quiet and reasonably-temperatured now and I barely notice a difference in utility, why is windows like this
maybe I can even play computer games again
The second best thing you can do for a Win10 computer is turn off whatever unnecessary services it's decided it needs to run in the background always. Some services it does need, but others are useless. Here's an article that goes into step by steps.
10AppsManager lets you uninstall bloatware. Winaero Tweaker lets you disable crap like Cortana/Copilot, ads, telemetry, internet search results when you search from the taskbar, and all kinds of other stuff, plus it gives you lots of other little options that are just nice to have (like, it can restore the old MS Paint program in place of Paint 3D). Both are totally free.
Oh, and check your startup programs in the Task Manager tab to make sure your computer isn't automatically starting eight million programs every time it boots. But I think people mostly know about that. (Unless this is me going "they only know one or two feldspars... and quartz of course.")
The first best thing you can do for a Windows computer is install Linux Mint. But some of us do need a few pesky Windows-specific programs. Bleh. Still, if you're up for a project, you can have both (and it's awesome). Here's an article about setting up a dual boot Windows/Mint system.
