everyone is so validdd I’m a writer of specifically the batfamily right now (x reader) and recently got into the batfamily. It’s truly helpful to hear everyone’s thoughts and opinions.
And I’m not even gonna lie, when I read all the neglected! reader for the first time 😭 all of them truly are a rinse and repeat. And this doesn’t also apply to neglected! reader too, but having a civilian! reader (that somehow knows how to stitch wounds or wrap injuries) x character.
Like yall?!?!!?? EXPLOREE
we can have a vigilante!reader, nurse/healer/doctor! reader, firefighter! reader, meta!reader, or whatever!!! it genuinely frustrates me as a writer that doesn’t see a lot of variety in the fandom like cmonnn yallll
I genuinely would die for a truly good BAMF! reader. The only one that I’ve so far liked is spider!reader where her circumstances are a bit different? like she read her alt’s diary and they experienced neglect— which made spider! reader don’t like they’re now trying to connect with spider!reader or now apologizing when they should apologize to the other reader (alt) when they get back if that makes sense? And another I like is that reader is already dead and an entity is taking over reader’s body and doing abnormal things (inspired by: the summer hikaru died)
I can’t remember the authors, but another author that is something related to moon(?) is making a Maze Runner Tim Drake x reader series like IS THAT NOT COOL???? Like from writer to writer, we gotta stop with like repeating the same stories of the reader of not having a backbone or (soon develops one but for some reason can’t leave the manor??)
And there’s another author that is doing a bungo stray dogs x batfamily x neglected! reader (mouthful lol) but they’re a healer that is genuinely so interesting to read. I can’t wait to see how they develop their fic, but it definitely stands out compared to others. — 💫
When the ‘civilian’ reader has skill that no normal civ should have with the most bs explanation that came out of no where and was never mentioned before
If was into actual romance id read the maze runner tim
