#theres So many good fics

[eastons-creations]

why you smiling today

Oh no reason. No reason at all. Not like I just finished one of the best fics I’ve ever read and want to cry and also like scream at how happy I am. So yeah. No no reason.

Honestly one of my favorite ship dynamics that I never see folks talk about is where they're just... Orbiting each other like satellites. A deep closeness, but not quite something explicitly romantic. Everyone around them has conflicting opinions on their relationship, but they never label it. Heartfelt declarations of trust, love, and friendship are non negotiable

#gopher rambles #ship dynamics #so many ships fit this imo #superbat #k/s #or if you'd rather call it #spirk #and i personally see #subscorp #that way. feel free to talk about your own faves like this #because its great. it always makes me feel so good. theres something about that deep affection and fondness #that trumps any regular 'falling in love' fics. more than friends but not in a romance centric way #they're best friends your honor. they are of one soul your honor. their love is deeper and more complex than you could understand your honor

The problem with duke centric fics is that it will say it’s Duke centric but when you open it up it’s actually just Duke reacting mildly to the dumb shit the batfam does without ever actually exploring who is is at his own character which makes him serve no other purpose than simply an outsider. Half of Duke centric fics are ones that could have easily been made into oc fics but people got cold feet.

no bc ur so right. duke is used so much as basically an outsider pov on batfam shenanigans or just another kid in the family and it subtracts so much from his character. duke is such an interesting character and i love seeing him portrayed as such

#and on that oc thing #theres so many aus that so violently change the character themselves that theyre barely recognizable #like theyd give a character a completely different background #motives #relationship w themselves and friends/family #or the genderbent ones #im not saying these fics cant be done or that theyre bad bc ive read some good ones that involve these #but at that point the character is so unrecognizable and so far off from their canon self that its basically an oc at that point #sorry i was thinking about this recently #duke thomas #ashbox

Would anyone be interested in a simplified version of the Jason reading carrd with this format? Rather than putting every single issue it's a list of comics from each era (pre-crisis, post-crisis, new 52, etc) that highlights his origin/personality at the time, and issues with his dynamic with different batfam members/his friends for fics research. I've been working on it on and off for a few weeks but if anyone finds it useful I will try to finish it sooner ^^

#like since theres a lot of contradictory info on jason thought this might be good for people who are just starting off #ive seen so many fics written by people who guide themselves with fanom and its like w/e at this point you know but #they might enjoy the actual comics if they knew where to start/what to read ^^ #jason todd

making of a feathered thing

#sk8 the infinity #kyan reki #hasegawa langa #renga #tagging ship like a power word kill here #hi. linked there is a fic I wrote in uhhh. three hours? something like that #literally have no idea how to explain it to you at all. feel free to read if u wanna. mostly its like damn I keep puttings pictures into thi #s literary piece. #gonna cool down soon. oh boy is it hot here. probably why I wrote that #that took place in like november but the vibe is. summer. or something like that I really need to sleep #new ink arrived! its kinda watery! line still feathering! not into this! #I'll try to see if thats more my paper. dont enjoy that #but yeah Ive just been testing the ink and stuff out with these #doing these like. less than an hour each. no brain just go #man I wanna fly a kite... theres an open plot of land right next to me. I should try doing that #go out and hang out with so many bugs and fly a kite #gods. I need to sleep. idk not much to say here I simply think reki is a growing boy and he'll become great and awesome #thats all folks! have a good night. well good day. its 5am #sleep well! run so fast

The palms of his hands stung. The world felt impossibly, insurmountably big.

A comic excerpt from Chapter 3 of Frequency, specifically the scene that made me laugh while writing it.

#my art #dc #frequency fic #too many thads au #thad thawne #thaddeus thawne #inertia #my comics #grawlix's my beloved #i love that comics have their own visual censor for swear words #since im trying to keep with canon there aren't any written swears in the fic #but typing out grawlix's in the written word just doesn't have the same effect #so far theres only one singular swear word in frequency #which is pretty good coming from me lmao

lord its so dark in here the sahara desert of tsaritsa content you are like a shining oasis. your characterisation of her compels me & mihoyo would be hard pressed to top it imo.!! caaaaan i humbly request yr thoughts on her first meeting w a reader of any kind, or maybe even multiple kinds (sagau, sagau god au, isekai, etc) if you so desire...

it really is like a desert here. being the fan of a character we aren't getting until the last damn nation is driving me up a wall but i will persevere bc if nothing else i support morally bankrupt women in media. we r in a severe drought over here but i do my best. unfortunately nothing i say is ever coherent so pull out your translation notes its abt 2 be messy

also this got out of hand but thats bc first meetings w the tsaritsa are tricky to write + a LOT of her characterization lies in deeper exploration then just surface level yknow...NOT A DIG AT YOU this is just my excuse for rambling. gently pats the tsaritsa she can hold so much complexity i do not have the word count to delve into it completely :]

gonna talk cult au for a bit here though because that's 99% of my content. and honestly? she thrives in sub au's of the cult au like villain au + imposter au. it's basically made for her. i mean, early days, the imposter au had been going around for a little while but one of the first few ideas was the Fatui taking reader in so like. it kinda technically actually was. pretty sure cult au Tsaritsa popped up because of the imposter au. a lot of it's writers kinda left though which. man am i getting old or.

anyway.

there isn't much of a chance her first impression is all that positive. at best it's usually neutral, imo, but rarely if ever positive. specifically because i view the Tsaritsa as someone who isn't as fanatical as most of the acolytes typically are towards the creator. she's not exactly going to worship the ground you walk on unlike a certain geo lizard. which is partially why i think she thrives in the sub au's i mentioned.

imposter au, for example. she meets you at your lowest. there's no gaudy extravagance or pampering from the acolytes waiting for you because your own acolytes have turned on you. for all intents and purposes you aren't a "god" at all. which is why i don't think she meshes well with normal cult au reader. the Fatui are made up of outcasts, basically, and imposter au slots right in just perfectly. you're weak, at your lowest, when you meet the Fatui in the imposter au. and the Fatui can help you, too.

a mutual exchange, really. the Tsaritsa sees a tool she can use to one up the rest of the nations and especially Archons, and she has no qualms about you using her and the Fatui in turn. you both want something out of it, after all. whether you just want to be safe from the rest of the acolytes, or you want revenge, or whatever else..she'll give you the power to fulfill it, and she gains the strongest piece on the chessboard when all is said and done.

the best way i can describe the first meeting is "practical", i suppose. she sees an opportunity in you. the ultimate gamble. because if she "saves" you, and you dont trust anyone else because they tried to kill you, well..she holds all the cards, doesn't she?

but the Tsaritsa, imo, is just as capable of being just as fanatical towards you as anyone else. she just won't worship you as the creator. but as yourself? clawing your way back to your divine power and taking back what belongs to you? the Tsaritsa is, to me, a character who's character flourishes in long-term fics more because she changes a LOT between "just met reader" and after having been with reader for some time. she's practically apathetic at the beginning but a lot of her character, in my characterization, shines through LONG after the first meeting.

#asks #Anonymous #sagau #tsaritsa #like. am i explaining this coherently?? first meetings r GOOD and i could go on a tangent of like. first meetings w zl and make it work #but first meetings w the tsaritsa is like. you just cooked a 5 course meal. took one bite. called it a day. #so much of my characterization lies in the “after” of the first meeting #because her first meetings are generally the same. she's apathetic at best!! she does not gaf abt the creator in the SLIGHTEST #but show that you are more then the creator? that you do not cling to the title like a shield? that you do not rely on it? #youve got the worst person youve ever known ready to kill a man for you. #tsaritsa is very like. EXTREMELY hard to earn the trust of but when you do she will kill someone for you no hesitation no question #which is why she works SO WELL in villain au and imposter au!!!!!!!!! #esp if theres a fake “creator” calling you the imposter. she hates their ass and was .5 seconds from dethroning them anyway #you just made it 10x easier #also cant do just first meetings bc i am incapable of not shoving themes of love into every fic w her SORRY #tsaritsa going on a full multiple month long mental breakdown bc she is not in love with you but she would destroy everything for u.. #(shes in denial) #tsaritsa and complex themes of love and what it means for the god of love to be incapable of feeling it + what it means when reader shows u #LIKE UGHHHHHH okay. i guess ill write another tsaritsa fic and put it in my vault #aka my drafts #i hold so many fics hostage there its crazy #this answered like 0 of ur questions sorry i see tsaritsa and black out and this happens #i just think first meetings dont let her character really come thru but my response got out of hand so uhhhhh everyone look away. please #putting tape over my mouth now so i shut up before this gets worse #basically tsaritsa gravitates more towards outcast reader rather then one who has already become accustomed to the adoration of the acolyte #does that make sense........ #i havent slept in forever and im running on nothing but spite and dreams atp dont expect coherency when it comes 2 the tsaritsa from me #head in hands someone please stop me i keep rambling abt the tsaritsa it makes me go NUTS #lays down. explodes

I'm very excited for more content of your lights out au, I'm so eager to see just how good you can get at writing/creating angst!

oh babey. thats where i Shine.

#i have gotten many a fic comment where people curse me out and/or say that they cried #sometimes i get someone saying i made them sob #its a compliment every time and i strive for it! #i dont fuck around with my fics i Do Not Hold Back and that is a Warning #this is the only aspect of my creations that im confident in #and hopefully soon you'll all See! you will see. #just a little taste its nothing too intense really. #id label it more hurt/comfort than straight up angst #but yeah if people arent crying im doing it wrong #i rarely do it wrong. #JESTING JESTING im not That good. now im just exaggerating for a Humorous Touch #rambles from the bog #i might. miiiiiight. might might might maybe mayhaps might #write a certain scene from lights out that everyone already knows will happen #so... might as well dust off my hurt / no comfort skills #could be fun. i want to hurt people again #in a good safe 'you Chose to read this' way #theres a certain feeling that comes with being someone who enjoys writing angst #the happiness i get from people telling me my writing hurt them. Yes <3 #so so validating. so fulfilling. #just read through some old fic comments on my better works and mmmmm talk about an ego boost....

do you have a fave trigun fic…… or multiple faves 😳

good lord i have. so many trigun bookmarks on ao3 💀 over 100 for sure, but heres some of my absolute faves in no particular order

figure me out - one of the best vash characterizations ive ever read, truly a phenomenal fic and with a sequel that i think is currently one chapter away from being completed! i havent gotten to it yet personally but it shifts focus to wolfwood and im positive its just as amazing. theyre a very talented writer

i sought him whom my soul loved - reincarnation but with a sort of twist. the religious themes here..... my GOD. and the body horror. so fucking delectable i LOVE this fic sm

nobody said it was easy - this fic left me a sobbing mess on my bedroom floor /pos BUT FOR REAL, such a poignant depiction of grief and such a real journey of moving on, having to remind urself the love is still there and still matters but it cant chain u to the past it lived in. u have to move on. "this is a life worth living?" "it has to be. its what we have." GOD. GOD THIS FIC

impacts - so fucking sweet and heart wrenching at the same time. the way they write the experience of touch starvation is so fucking real, and everyone is SO in character. i love the dialogue, vashs thought processes even tho he is a Moron, the vashwood dynamic... Mwah

#trigun #i could go on. I Could Go On. theres so many good fics in the trigun fandom #like genuinely this gotta be one of the most talented fandoms ive ever been a part of its insane #but these are the fics that hold a special place in my heart in particular

[dotster001]

God, there's so many staff members 😭

#yes this is in reference to when you escape him #god theres so many of them #probably gonna post another spoiler on sunday #instead of a full fic #cause oh my goodness there's so many of them 😭

[dfortrafalgar]

I’m kinda scared to ask this but are there any good one piece discord servers out there that are like… small but friendly and like new people cus i’d love to talk to more fandom people but im like a sitting duck in online social situations 😭

#not a fic #ive been perusing tumblr because i saw a post with a server that looked interesting yesterday #but then i never clicked on it and cant find the post anymore #and theres so many servers so im like. which ones are good #as in… which ones are active and dont have children in them #pls send recommendations for a bag head to meet some fun new creative people

[dishsaop]

does anyone have recommendations for fictional media that has like. actual lesbians in it. not like supergirl Two White Skinny Girls, One Blonde and One Brunette Kiss media, or "its implied lesbianism!!!" but just regular fucking lesbians

#i say lesbians but i guess i mean sapphic #im just like. tired of gnawing #and of men also. sorry men in my life i love you but on god if i have to pretend one more man is butch just to get #content that isnt m/m or m/f im going to turn into a horse and run into the wilderness until im saved from the glue factory by a plucky #young woman except instead of letting her have her formative summer where she trains me and bonds w me and wins a competition w me #im going to commit horse suicide in front of her & change her life forever. just because im so tired of bland CW-marketable women kissing & #digging for scraps in a refuse bin while brushing aside 7002993829292929939292929399394 gay and het romances #m text #i will also take nonfictional lesbians if its like a story #not to be whiny on main but one of the hardest hurdles i had to jump wasnt realizing i was a lesbian. i came out to myself and to friends a #lesbian multiple times. but i would always walk it back when a friend would express doubt or a male friend would ask me out #bc i dont and especially then didnt know very many lesbians in person. and so i had to turn to examples #and all i fucking had were fictional women who liked men. or fictional lesbians who were so cleaned and sanitized and prettified #(you all know what i mean right. the 2 skinny white girls one blonde one brunette. im not crazy right) #and i would be like. i dont feel things when i look at these fictional lesbians so i guess i belong back here #(this is also bc my gender ended up being fuckier than i realized but shhhhh) #I WAS GOING SOMEWHERE WITH THESE TAGS but theyre too long and im lost. #anyway the point is if people werent so fucking weird abt fictional or onscreen lesbians maybe thered be a lot more people comfortable bein #out as lesbian #like sorry but this awful ouroboros of 'all lesbians onscreen have to be cute and sanitized' meaning that people write and believe wlw has #to be cute and pure and sanitized (OR a 'badge of honor' bc good for u u doodled two women together or had it as a background in ur fic) #meaning that therefore all portrayals of lesbianism continue to be like this. is just #and im also gonna be honest theres probably a lot of good sapphic media im just in the wrong circles to have stumbled into lol. so #yknow. personal viewer bias here #but i still like swing wildly between overly brandishing my dykeness as a badge to feel like im proving im lesbian #and like. backing up under a blanket bc i dont wanna be weird or annoying or freak people out #but if people just Saw Normal Ass Lesbians. aough. #im going to watch revolutionary girl utena one of these days even if i struggled w the writing style the first few episodes #I JUST WANNA SEE AN OLD BUTCH ONSCREEN GET SOME PUSSY. #like it also doesnt help im mostly femme4butch so seeing 2 femmes on screen is like. okay cool so what. but only femmes are 'marketable'

i totally get being annoyed/frustrated w x reader writers not adding read mores or tagging properly but hating on them Just Because they write x reader is craazyyy to me like what is inherently wrong w that. u can say u think a lot is written poorly but that has nothing to do w the basic act of writing x reader fics

#💬nia.rambles #x reader #// Rant !!!! #im doing my best to use the 'x reader' tag now / keeping off other tags etc etc but like #JUST for the Act of writing x reader . as if that is such a horrible stupid baffling thing #also. the thing abt being poorly written #like . theres a lot of writing out there that u can consider poorly written. #and in basically any other circumstance id see way more support for beginner writers / writing what makes u happy / etc #just. not here i guess. #like i GET the read mores and tagging. every time i see someone not add a read more i get annoyed #i used to use the main tags btw so My Bad srsly. i get it. its understandable #but like. mannn. u guys hold a lot of illogical levels of hatred in ur hearts i simply dont see the point of #esp if ur fine w ocs or play dating sims/done an optional romance route or have daydreamed abt a fictional chara etc #u r One Maybe Two steps away from the x reader community. at some point u have Understood/Stepped inside. some of u are LITERALLY in it #smth as simple as making hcs abt how a chara would react to smth is literally x reader behaviour like. jesus. let people be happy #also theres so many genuinely good x reader fics. like theres so many skilled creative ppl in this community #sorry if u never experienced nor will experience that. 2nd person pov can b difficult but pays off if done well imo #i dont usually take the aggression towards x reader to heart but it has definitely ruined my day before LOL
