lmao rouxls thinking he finally got a boyfriend/partner when klieg is interested in him but finds out klieg only is interested in having a fun time, not a relationship. it's like almost the exact same situation a friend of mine got into, he's aro too, and poor guy thinking he found people who understood he just wanted quick flings kept having to cut contact because they developed feelings he couldnt respond back to. he finds it funny too tho lol

Yeah, I definitely want to create more Arospec characters, as well as ones in relationships because it's just so fun to explore!

Aroallo people are demonized enough as it is, but they can still be in relationships and being aromantic doesn't mean you're suddenly a jerk to your partners, fling or not :')

It varies from person to person, and I definitely empathize with your friend over people just developing feelings for us that we just can't even begin to reciprocate, followed by losing those people from our life because they got rejected 😭 feels bad

I'm AroAce, not AroAllo, so I could have some blind spots in my interpretations and I'm always open to learning more and being accurate! I care a lot about that kind of representation and having fun writing characters who are like that!

Klieg and Rouxls is still a jokey crack ship, so I get a bit embarrassed talking about it since I don't usually do OC x Canon content ;v; They just work together for a while in my CH3 and Klieg feels VERY STRONGLY about him LOL They're not romantic feelings, he mainly kind of sees Rouxls as his muse and definitely feels some form of attraction to him haha

If anything, Rouxls is the one who doesn't reciprocate whatever is going on there hahaha Like yeah, he wants to serve an "evil ruler" and for a while, Klieg gladly fills that role for him pfff Klieg may not have romantic feelings like that, but he's incredibly intense in every other feeling he has :'D I get the sense that Rouxls got just a bit intimidated

#Jay Asks #Anonymous #Klieg #Rouxls Kaard #Rouxls #I'm surprised people care about this crack ship at all LOL #It's super self-indulgent

I love your writing but I don't read any batman comics or watch any batman shows or seen a single batman movie except like, two and a half episodes of teen titans go. I mean I do know some basics from internet osmosis but that only covers Wayne family adventures pretty much. So ummm who were all those people with dick lol

Oh yes! I like writing stuff that's really widely accessible because I like beating out my own tunes, but I've been on a big comic kick again and sometimes I will write stuff that's less accessible. The new stupid long story will also not be as accessible, sorry! I try to explain stuff for people unfamiliar with the canon plotline.

Without going into a ton of spoilers for the main plotline of the fic, but covering what I stated in the fic:

Dick Grayson AKA Nightwing is the leader of the Teen Titans, a superhero team that (in this universe) he joined when he was 18. In actual canon he was a founder with Wally and Donna (and Garth but who cares). Out of universe, the Teen Titans were invented in the 1960s. The Teen Titans listed are from the slightly later stages of the 1980s comic. The team is formed out of:

Three members from the original 1960s team: the Flash's sidekick Wally West (Kid Flash), Wonder Woman's sidekick Donna Troy (Wonder Girl, later Troia), and Dick Grayson (Robin, later Nightwing). They've all always been friends since the 60s and Donna and Dick especially are best friends, something I think people should mention more! Guy/Girl BFFs, cowards!!!

In the 1980s they were joined by the other, arguably most famous members of the cast. They're most famous because they were the cast members from the 2005 Teen Titans show, which was the cast from the Teen Titans Go show you saw. They would be Victor Stone (Cyborg, who has a serious personality in the comics), Garfield Logan (Beast Boy, jokey and fun in any incarnation), Koriand'r (Starfire, warrior alien princess), and Raven (Raven, hellspawn and #gothgirl).

More obscure dudes also listed (AKA not major characters in the TV show or around since the 60s) would be Joey Wilson (Jericho, who is Slade's son and mute, so he uses ASL). He's not that obscure. More obscure is Panthera (panther lady?) and Danny Chase (deeply fucking annoying). I admit I only know Panthera and Danny Chase from osmosis, I've only read a few comics from this run. There were other guys too but they looked boring.

All that you really needed to know is that they're his friends, Kori is his girlfriend, Dick leads the team, that they're a #ragtagbunchofmisfits, that Joey is Slade's son, and that Dick has a guilt complex. Kind of.

Slade Wilson AKA Deathstroke is like Dick's Arch Nemesis and was the first real antagonist for the series, as well as the antagonist for the most famous arc The Judas Contract (whereupon Slade planted Terra in the team as a #spy). He's probably most famous for being the main bad guy in the cartoon, and who uh kinda fucked as a bad guy. He's always canonically the "COME JOIN ME" bad guy and is always after Dick as an apprentice. There's an arc in both the comics and the show where he kidnaps Dick and forces him to work for him, which causes some pretty lasting trauma in him in both incarnations. He's also a terrible dad and a failhusband. I don't read him too much in the comics so I can't say for sure how interesting the comics get with him, but his relationship with Dick is always very fraught and complex and has a lot of history. He has a lot of respect for Dick and he takes him seriously as an adversary no matter his age but he thinks Batman is lame and that Dick should kill people and stuff and JOIN HIMMMM.

In this AU, basically because Dick's life before Nightwing was kept under absolute wraps, and Slade was so obsessed with the apprentice stuff, I think Slade thought it was funny/satisfying to make up this whole shared backstory between them that Dick just couldn't disagree with jkalsdjf. Because Dick is much more of a spy than in canon he also has a lot of juicy blackmail (from his ex-wife, I think lol) on him. So they have bother a closer relationship and a more M.A.D. one than in canon. I think Slade finds it delightful that Dick isn't as good of a person as he pretends, and I think Dick lost most of his family at once, including his very drill sergeant and hard-edged father and must have, even unwillingly, reacted to somebody who was actually trying to parent him. Well. "Parent".

Wow, that was long and I didn't even digress. I'm always stunned by how y'all will read something no matter the fandom if it's by me, thank you so much! It makes me very happy to give you guys stuff like the Steph thing, where I love the idea of it being an introduction to Batman. Unfortunately internet Batman and comics Batman have. uhhhhh. drifted. apart. and. harder to click into if you aren't as into the comics, but thank you brave soldiers!

#people who are very attached to good dad!bruce aren't going to like this upcoming fic very much I think #that's fine! it's all for me <3 #my writing #wait oh my god ugh am I actually gonna get pushback on that one #yeah i will. welp. hm don't care never will peace and love on planet earth

For the ask box game: fmk Matt, Wade, Peter. Would you rather be spoiled about something you're looking forward to, or not be able to ever watch it. Tell me something no one ever gets right about a character you love. Tell me a head canon you love that everyone else seems to hate. What are you most looking forward to doing this week? Last, non food related, thing you treated yourself to? A movie you wish were remade,or made for the first time, and who would you cast in the main roles?

fmk Matt, Wade, Peter.:

Gosh, I think I have to contextualize this in which means the least gruesome fate for me, don't I? I love them all and they have their bright points, but comic books gonna comic book. I think I have to fuck Matt, because a one-night fling leaves me with the highest chance of survival although I guess I'll have to give him a pep talk after if he's crying. XD Peter I think I could marry. Even if otherworldly shenanigans erase our marriage, if we actually tie the knot, it seems like I will be fine? As far as I know it's only ever been MJ and Gwen (in Mexico lol) and that seemed to go fine. Plus, I can handle being the wife of a singleminded science guy, I've got that down. And, gosh, poor Wade. While I think being married to him would be great *while it lasted* there's no way I make it out of that in one piece. I think if I explained the context to him he would understand, agree with me, and when he came back to life I could buy him a burger and there'd be no hard feelings.

Would you rather be spoiled about something you're looking forward to, or not be able to ever watch it.

Spoiled. I mean, it's great when a big twist really lands, but I don't think that actually happens all that often (do you hear me, Marvel?) and the movies where a big twist or revelation has the most impact is one that laid the seeds the whole time, so it makes it worth rewatching over and over so you can pick up all the little breadcrumbs. A good piece of media should be just as much (or more!) about the journey as the destination.

Tell me something no one ever gets right about a character you love.

I've had a lot of Nightcrawler on the brain lately as I've been revisiting some older media, and I guess my issue with his characterization is that people tend to make him one note. He's either "the religious moral compass" or "the jokey bestie" or "idk pirates?" but once in a while you get a writer who understands that he's all of these things and even though he is most often a side characters while the more dramatic lead actors are driving the major plots- he's multilayered and complicated and thoughtful. As much as the current X-Men titles are hurting my heart, I think they are doing something new with the character (even when he's unable to be on the page) and reminding readers who Kurt is at his core and why he is essential to the team.

Tell me a head canon you love that everyone else seems to hate.

Hummm.... I am always bad at HC questions because I think I fold my HCs into my understanding of the character, and I'm not really one to just come up with "I think so and so's favorite cheese is gruyere" kind of ideas most of the time. XD I guess returning to Kurt, while I think he is a very loving and romantic and sexual person... I kind of see him ending up unmarried at the end of things. I mean, right now, it's clear that all societal norms are up in the air for the mutants. What is a marriage, what is a religion, what are life and death even? But after reading the character for years, there's never been a romantic interest that seemed to have the staying power and the ability to go toe to toe with him. (Except Ororo and then I think she's too good to settle down neatly either lol) I kind of see him as the type to view all the younger mutants as his "children" (hell, there might even be some biological ones floating around, like I said, current mutant island is crazy) but I think his true love is the cause and the dream of a prosperous future for humans and mutants full of joy and acceptance. The spark, if you will. Now please excuse me while all the Logurt shippers come for my head....

What are you most looking forward to doing this week?

Before the pandemic, my friends and I had a multi-year tradition of visiting all the sister restaurants of our favorite Japanese place in town. There was a general Japanese place, a ramen place, a Japanese style cafe etc etc. This was a whole day/weekend affair. We made shirts. The pandemic put a halt on that, but we've gotten creative and are making use of some outdoor seating and catering trays to bring the tradition back this year, shirts included. It will be great to see my friends knowing that we're all testing/taking precautions/keeping our activities as safe as possible, but still getting to enjoy a little socialization. And I will play Rock Band with people if it KILLS me.

Last, non food related, thing you treated yourself to?

I managed to score an art commission from Chris Samnee and I am HYPE.

A movie you wish were remade,or made for the first time, and who would you cast in the main roles?

Gosh, this is a tough one! I guess I think a lot about a Spider-Gwen movie set in Earth-65 but she features so heavily in ITSV and ATSV it's hard for me to separate her actress there from any other options. I guess I'll just need to wait and see who from her universe pops up, I guess. But other than that... Ugh, I'm so bad at this, I don't know a lot of actors and actresses. XDD I'm just gonna cop out and say that I would be please as punch if Alan Tudyk took on the role of Murderdock in said Spider-Gwen film. Honestly animated or live action, I don't care. He has the RANGE.

#thanks for the ask!
