Something I’ve been thinking about lately is that small moment in “Air Turtle” where immediately after the Daves lose yet another game, Leo says how sorry he is and how he’s doing his best as the mascot. This moment is so short but it’s honestly jam-packed with a whole heap of characterization.
His need to apologize for things clearly not his fault - especially when it feels like he messes up the job he was given despite doing the best he can (the phrase “it’s not about you” takes a new meaning when this is one of the lessons to be learned from that - that he is not always solely responsible for things going wrong), his need to save face and make a connection with an older adult man in his life (something he consistently does throughout the series - he’s got a few daddy issues, always collecting potential father figures, it’s no wonder he jumps at the bit to keep rapport), and the way he sounds and looks and the words he chooses really pushes how he is just a kid (“Mr. the Dunk, I’m so sorry”).
Like I know it’s a one off moment that doesn’t truly mean much, but when put against the rest of the series it works really well with the rest of Leo’s established character and helps in solidifying later concepts as well.

I have seen you talking about Dick & Dami's relationship and Dick & Tim as well,but what are your takes on Dick and Jason actually?
Like how you wish their relationship should be portrayed today and where are them missing when it comes to making those two acting like siblings?
Do you think in the past their dynamic was better?
How Dick views Jason and how Jason views Dick?
This is difficult to answer because there are like 8 different stages to Dick and Jason's relationship with various dynamics. They also view each other a bit differently depending on which stage we're talking about.
The way I would like their relationship to be portrayed today isn’t necessarily possible thanks to Jason’s integration into the family and acceptance of the no killing moral code. For me, their ideal dynamic is portrayed in Outsiders #44-46. And I know people are gonna find that regressive as hell but, tbh, that dynamic is far more interesting than the kinda awkward thing they have going on now.
Although, I don't mind that they acknowledge their brotherhood in a serious manner now. Like before they'd kinda be like, "Eh... I mean... we were adopted from the same guy but... brothers? Eh..." And now they're more firmly in the, "We're brothers," camp. So that development is interesting.
Character progression wise, it wouldn't feel right for for them to be super close in the way that, say, Dick and Tim are (unless we saw a lot of trust and relationship building between them), but at the same time, there is part of me that kind of wants them to have that older sibling bond (except Jason is closer in age to Tim than he is to Dick sooo actually let's just leave older sibling things to Dick and Cass... not that Cass is much older than Jason though so LOL this is why Dick has to lone the oldest sibling thing by himself... which is funny because Dick is technically no longer the oldest sibling, he's a baby brother now... except Dick and Melinda's relationship really hasn't progressed much sooo you could say they share blood but don't consider each other family yet, in which case, Dick is still the oldest... I mean, regardless, Dick is the oldest sibling of the Waynes... god why did they have to make all of this so difficult 😫).

Funny idea:
sc tricks chosen into hanging out with Alan in the safety room, and chosen accidentally gets so stressed that they start sparking. They have to evacuate from there.
oh GOD lmao-- alan would be so upset with sc for doing that--
i can imagine chosen just getting jumpscared by him and accidentally exploding into flame

honestly the most life changing living advice i have ever gotten from this website is to have a manual toothbrush, an automatic toothbrush, floss, and mouthwash on your bathroom counter and you should try to use at least one at least once a day. i floss more than i brush now

△ (taking a risk because last time I did this Giliys almost killed me) Qweck, do you think you'll ever live up to what Irori expects of you?
Qweck's expression doesn't shift, but her right eye - the eye further from her bleached patch - twitches slightly. "Giliys will probably ask to shake your hand if you ask me something that genuinely upsets me, so you have nothing to fear on that front. As for Irori's expectations - I am a cleric. If I did not already meet my god's expectations, my prayers would not heal."
Her face is still, but there is an intensity in her gaze that makes you feel as if she is judging you. That somehow you failed a test you didn't even know you were taking. "I suppose if I weren't a cleric that would be an invasive question, but considering that answering questions about my faith was once literally my job...1/10."

Hi folks, I am now feeling a lot better and getting back into the swing of doing writeblr things again, so I'll kick it off with a question for you all.
What tropes or cliches do you like to write about? Why do you like them? Do you use them often in your own work, or are they things you prefer to read about?
