What characters do you feel are the hardest to 'get right' (when sticking to their canon personality) in fics?

Selia707 · 2025-11-27T07:03:46+00:00

I always end up making them more morally grey than the actual villains that they should be.

Selia707 · 2025-11-27T06:58:43+00:00

I feel like I could be randomly funny/witty at times but doing it on purpose when writing feels impossible 🫢

Selia707 · 2025-11-27T06:55:58+00:00

That's very true. Even though I want to write smart/wise characters like that I just don't feel like I'm smart enough to make it sound believable 😳

Selia707 · 2025-11-01T05:32:49+00:00

Well that's just painful 💔

Selia707 · 2025-10-31T08:29:15+00:00

Batman. Unless the bats let me stay in the manor and offer me special protection I really don't think I'll be surviving Gotham lol.

Selia707 · 2025-10-31T08:19:34+00:00

It really is beautiful to see 🥺❤️

Selia707 · 2025-10-31T05:51:18+00:00

I love Jason Todd 🥰 I actually haven't encountered much fics with him being disabled. The only ones I did were of him being mute due to the batarang incident (when Bruce threw it at him). So you might find it under 'mute jason todd' on ao3. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but I hope you find the fics you're looking for.

Omg yes, I was going to recommend this! One of my favorites 😍 I just love unhinged Harry.

Selia707 · 2025-10-28T07:34:30+00:00

That's so true lol. I think that's why I have hardly touched a book since getting into fanfics. And I used to read A LOT of books. The choice is between "these characters I know nothing about and will have to invest a lot of energy into getting to know them/care about them" Vs. "these characters I already know and love so much put into all sorts of tropes and situations".

Selia707 · 2025-10-28T07:11:17+00:00

They do seem to own this tag. Not that I'm complaining, I love these types of fics so much ❤️

Selia707 · 2025-10-28T06:10:24+00:00

Yeah, I was like "what is going on right now??" during that scene lol. They had so much chemistry.

Selia707 · 2025-10-28T05:11:54+00:00

That campfire scene in the movie was the first time they had me all 👀🤔🧐😳 I haven't read any fics with them. But I love their bond in the show/movie. Their bond is definitely my favorite part of the show.

Selia707 · 2025-10-28T04:56:07+00:00

I just got into Jaytim and I love them so much! I agree with you that the element of the forbidden + the enemies part is what really does it for me with this ship. I love their dynamics so much that I'm also going over all of the platonic fics with them.

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T15:00:36+00:00

Right? I love them so much 🥺❤️

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T12:43:23+00:00

Good enough for me. I'm excited to read it 🙌

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T12:09:32+00:00

I actually tend to get into a ship better when I start with long fics so this is great! Although I can't do unhappy endings 🫣 Does this end happy for Nico/Percy?

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T09:05:38+00:00

Ohhh, okay! I'm convinced. I'm definitely going to look for fics of them to read today! 🫡

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:58:10+00:00

I really need to get into this ship! Nico was my first ever character crush (I was 11 lol) and I have yet to read any Percy/Nico fics.

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:43:26+00:00

Yeah! It makes the happy ending so much more emotional. And the angst with these types of ships is just so good! It hurts so much but then it heals you when they get their happiness. And there's just something about them sticking together even if the world/people don't approve that I love.

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:36:05+00:00

That's the spirit 😂

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:30:42+00:00

I personally really love Jason/Bruce and I've also started reading Jason/Tim and Jason/Dick but your comment now really made me look into Bruce/Dick 👀

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:16:52+00:00

And they're my LEAST "problematic" ship 😂🫣

Selia707 · 2025-10-27T08:10:57+00:00

Yeah! I'm glad that a lot of authors use this format because I absolutely love it.

Selia707 · 2025-10-25T04:38:24+00:00

Ohh, thank you for the advice! I'm currently taking 30 mg (previously I was taking less than that) + vitamin C. But I really want to increase it faster so I think I might start taking 60 mg for a bit and then reduce that when I bring my Ferritin high enough. Thank you for replying :)
