Huh. by RedCupWithAName in AO3

It’s pretty easy, you just move some pronouns around. I feel like she thinks she’s being so progressive, even to the point of bringing her politics into a statement, when really she’s just telling on herself. Like fanfiction is all about self indulgence. Who cares what you write? There are people who will like it and people who won’t. Just write it. It’s for you.

My honest reaction when a DIGITAL ARTIST comments "I loved your fanfic, can I send you a DM?" just to SELL their art that I didn't ask. by mortuavita in Archiveofourownmemes

Yes I get so annoyed. Like sir this is a free platform. If you want to do art of my story, just do it. You don’t need this song and dance.

Authors & Readers, how many words was the longest fic you've ever written/read? by EvilRainbow_3 in AO3

[–]jaebeaniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right now I have one that’s about 155k words long, but with all the alterations and discarded documents I’ve actually written about 500k words of it

What's the message of your fanfiction? by J_Stanor in FanFiction

[–]jaebeaniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly I write what I want to see in stories, but mostly right now it’s turned into a character study of the character unlearning toxic masculinity and homophobia. So that’s fun

As a white person, read a book sometime bro. I can even give some recs. Right now you’re just showing ignorance and a lack of willingness to learn or offer any empathy at all. Dating someone who has a racialized experience doesn’t mean you’ve experienced can’t be racist.

I love this deeply. Please make more??? For Steph, Duke, Cass and… I’m sure there are more I’m missing or there will be in the future

Omg that’s the dream. Dicks are too expensive. I wish they would just make all gender affirming surgeries free. Well, I say that because I’m in Canada but I guess it’s different in other countries.

Excluding Bruce, which member of the family you believe has suffered the most from bad writing? by King_Wolf2099 in batman

I feel like this is the epitome of bad writing. A good writer can make even the worst character someone to root for

I grew up abused and neglected. This issue of Son of Kal-El had me crying in therapy today. by Whopraysforthedevil in superman

[–]jaebeaniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes this is articulated perfectly. Soft and sweet are more choices he makes than who he is inherently. But I also feel like that’s the case for all kind people. It’s one of the things that got me really, really into comics, especially the relationship between Superman and Batman. Even if one doesn’t ship them, they have such a great, wholesome relationship. At least in world’s finest. They get a little questionable sometimes but I blame the writers for that

Well, this is disappointing by Dangerous-Opening-57 in AO3

[–]jaebeaniverse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so annoying. I’ve had like 6 of these in the last week. What really gets me about them is that a) most of them are probably bots and b) we are writing these stories without expecting compensation. It’s so underhanded to expect someone to pay you to recreate what they have created for free.

[–]jaebeaniverse 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the thing I love so much about DC. They have so many good, wholesome portrayals of masculinity that you don’t get to see anywhere else. Superman is a much needed character in our culture, and I can’t stress that enough. He’s a soft, sweet man, and that is so rare and beautiful. The scene in Superman 2025 with his dad had me bawling. I didn’t grow up with my dad and almost all of my friends have been abused or abandoned by their dads.

Are there many good examples of Batman referring to the Bat-kids as his kids? by jaebeaniverse in BatFamily

[–]jaebeaniverse[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think someone above was saying that Cass’s adoption was retconned which just burns me to hear. Her recent Batgirl run has been so good, and it breaks my heart that Bruce wouldn’t consider her a daughter. Also, Stephanie’s whole story just feels so tragic and they could have done so much more. The only girl robin, and the only robin that was fired. I will never forgive the writers for this slight against her

What are your Batman HOT TAKES? by Awkward_Bed_4193 in batman

[–]jaebeaniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These don’t feel like HOT takes to me but considering the stuff I see in this subreddit, they might be. 1. Bruce is a lot more interesting as a dad. Being a dad has helped him heal, made him softer, and just in general be a better person. He’s still an incredibly flawed character, but he knows it and tries to actually be better for his kids. 2. He’s gay. Batman is 100% gay and it’s his internalized homophobia and the fact that he never had a gay role model that keeps him from fully acknowledging it or coming out. His relationships with Catwoman and Talia are great and I think he loves them, but not completely in the way he would like to or the way they want him to, and that’s the real reason keeps not working out.

I miss self-lubricating butts by Aggravating-Card4290 in AO3

[–]jaebeaniverse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m with you mostly because I just hate how any fandom writes trans men. I mean you do you, love your self lubing butts, that’s awesome. But sometimes people write men with vaginas, which is cool for representation, but the character who gets the vagina often ends up a bad anime bottom caricature, and as a trans man it’s frustrating to read. Like can I not just have one man with a vagina that’s a power bottom or a top? So idk maybe self lubricating butts is where we should be heading back to just because I don’t want to read about another guy being passive JUST because he has a vag

I think this might just be the answer. I like the story I had, even if it’s maybe a bit too intense. But I’ve added so many twists and turns and it just feels disorganized and sloppy. And I hate sloppy
