shadows have more to say

never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.

Fuuuuck dude I got drunk last night and tried to take down the villain on my own and now he’s texting me some ‘I’m the only one allowed to defeat you’ shit bro what do I do

Man he just yelled ‘I want him alive’ to his goons, it’s so over.

it's always funny to me when ppl act like it's somehow incestuous for characters who consider each other found family/chosen family/whatever u wanna call the trope to date each other, and it's funny for many reasons, but most specifically it's funny because irl when you meet a person and get really attached and decide that you want to be family with them, there's a very popular legally recognized way of doing that & it's called marriage

Marriage promotes incest because then you end up having sex with a family member

ideally jason should be at any moment really close to saying some really cringe shit like "woe betide any who would cross my path"

Man, Batfam fans will just straight up give Hal the opposite of his canon personality if it will help them shit on him. I guess it's easy to make shit up if you refuse to engage with canon. Thanks for putting this in the Hal Jordan tag! It has been about two seconds since the last batspammer dropped a deuce in here.

Still working my way through Marjorie Liu's X-23 and having a really good time. I also gotta say...maybe if I'd read more of their interactions previous to this book I'd feel differently, but it was a blessing for Laura to get the hell away from Julian. I keep seeing people arguing his case and hating on Liu for his writing, but I'm not seeing it. It can be true that a young character can be working through some heavy shit and also be a toxic asshole to people around him, especially the girl he's clearly decided is his to pin all his personal expectations on. He clearly cared about Laura, but most of his interactions with her was 50% being a massive, self-centered tool to her and 50% apologizing for being a massive, self-centered tool to her. After a while, the apologies don't at all make up for what came before them. People also bag a LOT on Gambit for getting threatening with him while kind of glossing over the fact that that was in response to his getting angry and physical with Laura a few seconds before when all she was trying to do was walk away from him.

and of COURSE this person obviously never read NXM 🙄

OP blocking everyone who disagreed with their uninformed take, yeeting most of the comments off the post and thus perpetuating mischaracterization unchallenged, is truly sublime

joker is the biggest industry plant in the WORLD, main batman villain should be two-face.

Within the Bat clique Bruce telling someone "take Cass with you" is perceived to be a mark of great shame. It's how you know he's expecting you to screw this up and need babysitting. Cass has never been more insulted in her life than that one time when he accidentally told her to take Cass with her.

Hi, I noticed your story has conflict in it, and I was wondering why you didn't just write people who are right doing everything correctly with a note saying "I enthusiastically co-sign everything in this story"? Must be some kind of mistake haha

If you do this with my fics, or anyone's fics, please know I HATE you. I hate you more than every troll comment, every "your writing sucks kys" comment, every "update soon" comment. I hate you. Other authors hate you. If you want my fic, you either WAIT for it or you pay me for it. And if you won't do one of those things, you don't deserve my fic or anyone else's.
