Sometimes I feel frustrated seeing fans boil down Cassandra to JUST her "no one dies" mentality. Yes, Cass embodies it in a way that's even more obsessive than Bruce, but I feel like what most people leave out of posts (especially ones where they talk about how much she would hate Jason) is her compassion. Cass sees herself as every murderer she comes across. Almost her entire life, she spends trying to atone for one murder she committed as an 8 year old and to do that she stops murders from happening, but she also has a deep rooted belief that the people who commit these crimes are capable of changing who they are. Or, in the very least, understand why what they do/done is 'wrong'.
I read posts about how she would hate Jason and while I agree in some ways, I feel like there's something missing. What's missing is that why wouldn't Cass understand how Jason came to be the way he is? Someone who felt abandoned by their father's choice in allowing a murderer to run free—one who certainly isn't changing anytime soon. What's stopping Cass from knowing Jason's feelings in a way most other characters can't see because they haven't experienced it in a way that both Cass and Jason have?
Obviously this doesn't mean she is giving up on her moral code, I don't get why fandom thinks character foils can't interact together without losing some integral part of themself—the beauty of fiction is being able to create scenarios where that is possible. If you truly believe its impossible, I honestly think you might just have a really closed mindset or negate character growth as bad characterization.
Maybe its because no depiction of Cass is beaten by Batgirl 2000 and maybe because Jason's characterization is a spinning pendulum of nonsense half the time, but reducing either character to just their morality on killing alone is tasteless. People (and fictional characters by extension) are so much more complex than that.

Lol. I rarely check Facebook comments and just found out some guy has been doing some serious trolling under one of my posts (the words 'I want you to suffer' may have been typed), including getting increasingly pissed about how I wasn't responding to said trolling.
Also, somebody has been reporting all my current Instagram posts for stuff, which is fine as I wasn't breaking any rules and the content moderators agree, but now I'm wondering whether this is connected.
And then I'm wondering if this is an emotionally abusive ex-client having a meltdown. If so, I'm sorry dude, you've already thickened my skin. This can't shake me anymore.
(also going semi-viral on Twitter. Best way of realizing people's behaviour is mostly about them and not about you)

LORD I'M SOBBING. I just finished the rough draft of the yan!Kaveh vs yan!Ratio fic. However, I got curious about how many words was their raw dialogue of just. Pure arguing. (Note: separate instances, not just 1 big argument) And it's.
715.
THESE TWO.
THEY HATE EACH OTHER THAT MUCH.
LORD HELP ME HAHAHAHAHHAHA
The total word count is around 5k. Lets just round the numbers up a bit and say they have been arguing @ each other's throats over a phcking statue for 14% of the fic.
Brosch. Mei. This is on you.

I talk a lot about the joys of transitioning, but I want people to know that I think transitioning and detransitioning are inherently morally neutral. Just like I should be able to choose to transition, somebody should be able to choose to cease transitioning - for any reason.
Detransitioning doesn't mean that somebody stops identifying as trans (there's a separate term for that, I believe). Detransitioning doesn't have a political leaning, and it isn't proof that transition doesn't work at all. Those who detransitioned used their autonomy to decide what they wanted. There is nothing wrong with that. There is no shame in that.

I know I don’t need their validation but that doesn’t mean I don’t want it. I too sometimes want to feel that someone believes in me. I too want to feel wanted. I’m their child too, why is it so hard to accept it?
