I'M DONE

I have spent the last three hours looking for fanfiction on Scarebat that wasn't Nolanverse or Suckerpunch (I love it btw, it's so good, checking everyday for updates🙏🙏)

I didn't only look on Ao3 as you might think, I have looked on Tumblr, Wattpad, Fanfiction.net, Quotev, Deviantart, FUCKING FICWAD, and some others...😔😔 I BARELY MANAGED TO FIND SOME SCRAPS OF CONTENT ON ONLY A FEW OF THEM AND THERE WERE LIKE 3-4 FICS IN TOTAL, MAYBE LESS, DON'T REMEMBER EXACTLY

I need to write my own atp but I'm only half-decent at writing (planning to start practicing writing on Tumblr in the future) and I suck at writing two canon characters interacting with each other.... I would be unstoppable if I had the ability to do so

sorry for ranting in your asks, forgive me, but I think you're the only person who can understand this

-🐓

honestly, it’s kinda odd how over so many years, scarebat barely made rounds on the internet. despite how their whole personas an’ things that surround them as characters make a perfect set-up for a gothic romance. yet, somehow it keeps getting overlooked. batman’s most ideally tailored fuel just never gets enough fanon attention.

an’ like, i wish that i could somehow share with you a link to some alt dimension, where scarebat was given all the attention it deserved. but as it is, we only have like yeah 3 fics an’ prob the same amount of arts.

on the one hand, it does suck. i admit. but on other, it leaves a way larger fields to explore. way more opportunities to do smth new an’ different with those characters. i’d also go as far as to state, that when a ship is rare, it has a chance to stay somewhat true to source material or have more of different an’ individual approaches. when a ship is super popular, it’s usually slowly, but surely gets flanderized into the ground. after certain point all that you would see is a low-key copypasta of a fic, that you’ve already read about that pair, but from a different author. i had a couple of popular ships back in the day, an’ it had happened with every single one of them.

so, in a way, i’m glad that those few scarebat fics are all at least different enough, even if i do say, that i kinda felt down by how it was labeled scarebat with it often being barely about the ship. or it was coming off as one-sided. different strokes for different folks, but it’s part of why i sat down an’ began writing my own fic, that would satisfy my own needs an’ my own vision. i just wanted scarebat romance times with some grittiness in between. which is why i do think, that you really should try to write your own story for them too! or even drabbles. anything that might tailor their dynamic in a way you see it.

an', well, i do get the anxiety of not ‘being good enough’, or feeling insecure about how well you would be able to capture the ‘canon’ feel. or say, just generally thinking like your skill is not on the level you wish it was. i won’t bore you with details about my own uh, writing / art journey. but i will say, that due to a few reasons of my own, i also felt like i could never write an english fic *i'm a non-english speaker*, an’ even more so, i honestly thought that i could never ever draw anything, bc i simply had no idea how to draw at all. but i do kinda know how to draw now lol. an’ i can actually write things in english too. an’ the point of it not me being super good at it or even reaching some unknown highm no. the point is that i can do it an’ i can do it in my own ways. i can create smth, that prob would have never existed otherwise, an’ in the end of the day, it’s pretty cool. quality can be not top notch, but it's like...hey, it exists now. i've given smth back to my otp, that makes me happy an' have fun.

so as someone who was where you are, when it comes to feeling like you can’t do those things, i’d say, you sure can! anyone can! it might take some lil practice an’ a bit of ‘hmm, not what i wanted exactly, but close’, until you get to the level you might have wanted, but i promise, you'd be amazed at what you can truly do, once you get on 'wave'. it won’t be instant leap, but as someone who dealt *still does to a degree* with what i call ‘toxic perfectionism’, i’d say that you just let things go at their own pace. just have fun with the process. in the end, fan stuff should be existing for your own pleasure an' perhaps, it can also be this for some other people, which is always nice. you don't have to be 'professional' about it, if you don't want to.

either way, i’m fine with rants! i mean, i've just ranted back as well lol. i know, that the main theme of this message was being kinda well, dissapointed with lack of content, but i do think, that it's not all that gloom an' doom in the end of the day. it can't be helped, that we sometimes have to basically provide for ourselves in fandoms, but it also gives us chance to 'shine' too, i think.

an’ i also wanted to say, that i’m glad you liked my fic! suckerpunch is one of those works, that i’ve started on impulse an’ till 3th chapter actually had a very vague idea, where to take afterwards, but i was surprised to see way more people interested in this ship, than i thought. so really, for a rare ship, scarebat actually does have at least some audience. an’ that audience is pretty rad an’ cool one too, so it’s not all that bad!

i do get the pain tho. sometimes, i also wanna read an' look at arts of my otps, that aren't mine. but perhaps, with time scarebat will gain more active fans. maybe, one day, we will click on ao3 an' feel like we had walked into a candy store.

#❓#also i've finished next chapter #will post it in two days #i hope folks will like some bat an' crow detective bit

Hi. 💙 Anyway, I hate when my class ends early bc I have to wait around for a bit. Yeah, I read it too. I think she's stopped writing now. I didn't take archery in school. 😊 I took cooking and had to take drama and hated it so badly because of my teacher. So, yeah we had a few grades in the same building, but each group was small and separate. You island area sounds cool it kind of reminds of the Jersey Devil folktale in the States, which I think involved the 13th child (pt 1)--

(pt 2) –being an evil monster thing? I don’t remember exactly how it went. I think the pictures may be creepy,😑 so I don’t feel like googling it rn. It’s interesting how they dealt with twins. I don’t think we have any cool folktales were I’m at now. 😅 I think I would like history too. Maybe charms? Also, I bought a pack of those beans, but was always saving them so never ate them. I like your flavor choices, especially marshmallow. I gtg. I’ll send more asks later so this is TBC, please. 💙 (part 3/5) I’m back! Apologies for breaking off like that. Uh, we were talking about jelly beans? I like to eat the coating and then the center, when I’m really patient or really bored. 😅 As for my classes, I believe I already said history, but I’d also love to duel. Sooo, that would be defense against the dark arts (unless Durmstrang would let me take summer school there for the dark arts too? Not the unforgivable stuff, but there’s practicality in learning what could be used against you. 💙🗡 (4/5) I mean, the kids could likely learn the dark arts in their own, so why bit safely teach some (not all) of them? Idk. Did you know Salazar Slytherin built the Chamber of Secrets to partially serve as a place to teach the Dark Arts? 💚🐍 I don’t know my patronus. I need to do that test. I’m glad you liked my factoids about Pompeii. 🌋😊 So, would you rather live in the romanticized ancient past (Greek, Roman, Egyptian etc.)or the idealistic future (like a happy sci Fi show)? 💙 (final pt. 5) I just realized my question may be a bit unclear. I meant mainly considering the positives. Let’s ask a different one: Do you think the kids in 2.18 has Lena under the influence of nano bots or she’s just responding? I thought it was the nano bots, but then Katie’s “the gave me a hot man to play with for an episode” (loosely quoted) makes me wonder if it’s consenting. Idk. I headcanon her one way, so…Yeah. 😐 I’m excited for the cuddle. 😊 Hope u have a great day or night. 💙😸

Hey! I just spent most of the day lying to myself and wasting time writing. 😊

I didn’t take cooking, but I sold crepes in 8th grade as a business project, it was a whole year thing. It was gross, I haven’t eaten a crepe since then. But it was nice to stay in the school so late, it was weird; my best friend and I would usually close up, so we were there until almost 8 pm… we had ice fights in the downstairs kitchen. The kids that sold milkshake were assholes that threw their entire bags of ice in the sink so we had to find a way to wash the dishes, and the kitchen was open and it gave to the preschool playground (so the teachers can watch the kids and make food) and yeah, we threw chunks of ice at each other. It was a blast. 😜

I love how rich the culture here is, and there are so many people who come from all around the state and the country and they never care to get to know it, so a lot of things are sort of being forgotten, it’s a little sad.

I was given a bacon one by the mean rich girls from my school, I think it was 6th grade, back when they started selling on Disney or something. It was awful. I do that of eating the coating first with these blackberry-gummy thingies, they have like sprinkles and I take them off first, also a chocolate with caramel inside that I forgot the name.

Okay, but like, I’d probably be full on Hermione, loving every single class and trying to get as many as possible, because I just like knowing things. Like, I’m terrible at actually studying and I hated school, mostly for the system and the environment, but I love knowledge. 😇

And yeah, I think you should teach kids that some things can be used to hurt them, it’s basically self-defense but “who will want to attack children?” Bad people, that’s who. And like, those children will become adults so you should give them a safe space to get the knowledge instead of just forbidding kids to even think about it but immediately expect them to know when they become adults. It’s a bit like sex-ed, you giving information that could save someone from pain and embarrassment and a lot of dangerous situations, but people think it’s ‘inciting them to start doing what they shouldn’t’.

I probably knew about the Chamber, but it’s not something I would remember to tell someone.

Well, romanticized ancient past is great, but I would probably get bored, also how would I communicate with people without the internet? I’d have to rely on my memory and no meds… I wouldn’t be able to function. So def idealistic SciFi future.

Okay, I think you meant the kiss, right? 😜 So, what Katie said “they gave me a hot man to play with,” I think she means mostly as an actor, like play as in act alongside and have fun with. Consenting or not, from the bts pictures we’ve seen and Rahul’s tweets, I’m assuming they had fun doing the episode. That being said, my personal theory is that the kiss was after the dinner date Kara and her ‘trusted’ sidekick crashed and Kara annoyed Jack a lot and Lena took him to her office and is like, trying to calm him down or something. I think Lena is actually playing him to get information, whether it’s with or without Kara knowing that. But even so she might really care for him, or cherish what they had before, and the cuddle is her being sad that everyone in her life turns evil(?) 😢(poor bby Lena)

Hope you have an excellent evening 💚🌹🐧 (penguin, because why not)
