Thinking about that series on TikTok where canon batfamily characters meet their fanon counterparts and I think all canon characters would have a sort of disdain to borderline hate for their fanon versions EXCEPT BRUCE. Canon Bruce would be seething with jealousy

Canon Bruce: so you’re saying… most of them live with you. In Wayne manor. And it’s not burned down every week.

Fanon Bruce: yup! All of them except Jason, he and I don’t get along very well you see… he’s always angry with me so the weekly family dinners are always tense ://

Canon Bruce, through gritted teeth: you see him regularly? Must be nice.

Fanon Bruce: it is! The kids can get a bit rambunctious at times but thankfully their older brother Dick is always there being the good responsible mentally stable older brother he is so there’s not much damage except the broken vase or two

Canon Bruce, glaring daggers: is that so.

Fanon Bruce: there’s also Tim, he can’t get enough of his coffee, sometimes I have to replace it with decaf just to get him to sleep!

Canon Bruce, who has found Tim napping in places he didn’t think was humanely possible to sleep in: hnn

Hey Lamp! Was wondering if you could do smth with Luffys childhood trauma? 👀

Like the crew's gotta figure out he was tortured by porchemy, or that the dude has a massive fear of fire from Grey Terminal/Sabo's death/Ace's death. Or maybe just that he's got some funky behaviors from being raised alone by his brother in a Jungle and dump

Theres like nothing on ao3 and I'm DYING for something 😭

The first time Luffy sees his brother again, three years after Ace set sail, he is consumed by flames. It takes him back, all too easily, to the night the Terminal burned. To smoke stinging his eyes like tears and the smell of burning hair and flesh and too-hot air burning in his lungs and the surety that Ace and Dadan had died. The knowledge that Sabo had. To years of clear nights where he jerked awake, panting, from sights not too different from the one before him now. But Ace is grinning, and the flames dance across his fingers like he is controlling them, and Luffy understands all at once. Ace is wearing his aren't I cool aren't you impressed did I do good face, and this must be a devil fruit. So Luffy grins and laughs and applauds when he is expected to. Zoro keeps glancing at him, and Luffy knows he's worried, but he says nothing. When Ace leaves again, Zoro drops it. Luffy is grateful. The fire is part of his brother now, so he's determined to love it too.

---

On Marineford, his crew isn't there to play the part for. On Marineford, Luffy is a little brother before he is a captain. On Marineford, he is a desperate child stumbling after a retreating back on Mount Corvo all over again, except this time it's Ace that needs saving. Ace that is alone. This time, Luffy saves him for once. Luffy breaks him free of the platform and San makes a key, and he has his brother back. Luffy is a captain again for one triumphant moment, ready to fight their way back out, victorious. Then, Ace's power returns. He pulls Luffy through the fire, and it brings him back to that night again, to being seven and small and weak, still too weak, and needing his big brother to protect him. He still finds himself wondering, sometimes, if he could have held out longer—run farther—if he hadn't remembered that. If he hadn't been so exhausted and hurt and then remembered being seven and protected. Maybe part of him had thought it would be okay to rest, just for a bit. He'd never know for sure.

---

Luffy is in Dressrosa and the man before his is achingly familiar, but he can't be. The person he reminds Luffy of is long gone, and he is alone. The last brother standing. But Luffy is still looking at him, and he can't tear his eyes away, and he'd never been good at denying things he wanted. He launches himself, sobbing, at Sabo—at who must be Sabo because even a decade later he still looks at Luffy the same way he always did. Sabo, who has a burn scar spanning half his face. Sabo, who Luffy believed had burned to death for years rather than days. Sabo who is real and solid and here. Who wants to help. Who wants just as badly as Luffy does to preserve what they can of Ace's legacy. Luffy is in Dressrosa and Zoro is giving him that look again as they run through the streets. He's still sobbing, and Zoro is worried and yelling at him, and a weight he's been shouldering alone for years is once again split between two. He'll tell his crew everything after.

---

He hadn't thought about it, at the time. Sabo being the one to inherit Ace's fruit had seemed fitting, had seemed perfect, even. The best possible outcome. But then Luffy sees him again and he is made of fire, and everything hits him all at once. The night of the fire, Dogra telling them that Sabo had been shot down, Akainu's searing fist piercing through Ace's chest, fire and magma dripping from his wound like blood. Any time Sabo uses his fruit, Luffy flinches before he can catch himself. Guilt gnaws at his chest. Zoro knocks their shoulders together when he sees, or Sanji slides him a snack, or Robin squeezes his hand, or someone else will notice and try to help, and he loves them for it but he hates that he needs it at all. This is his brother and that fire is all that they have left of Ace, so Luffy can't help but be ashamed for the slightest fear of it.

Prompts!

Okay, so. I think I'm going to start taking writing "prompts." You can send me an ask with a greeting and a fandom or character(s) and I'll write up a quick little something about them. If I'm not super familiar with a fandom, I may either try my best or ask you to prompt something else. I'm planning to model these after @shanastoryteller's three sentence prompt fills, and as with her, they may end up longer, but that is in no way a guarantee. I'm not expecting to get a lot, and I'm pretty busy at the moment, so I think for now I'll aim for finishing around 10 a month? Not a hard and fast rule—sometimes I may fill a bunch and sometimes I may not do any at all. When we get to the point where it's possible, you are welcome to ask for continuations of previous prompts. You can also ask for bits about fics I've written previously.

Anyway, that's everything I can think of for now: happy prompting!

That infamous prison escape.

[thedoctor91011]

Full offense and pun fully intended, but I genuinely think the very existence of "dead dove, do not eat" was a fucking canary in the mines, and no one really paid attention.

Because the tag itself was created as a response to a fandom-wide tendency to disregard warnings and assume tagging was exaggerated. And then the same fucking idiots reading those tags describing things they found upsetting or disturbing or just not to their taste would STILL click into the stories and give the writer's grief about it.

And as a response writers began using the tag to signal "no, really, I MEAN the tags!"

But like.

If you really think about it, that's a solution to a different problem. The solution to "I know you tagged your story appropriately but I chose to disregard the tags and warnings by reading it anyway, even though I knew it would upset me, so now I'm upset and making it your problem" is frankly a block, a ban and wide-spread blacklisting. But fandom as a whole is fucking awful at handling bad faith, insidious arguments that appeal to community inclusion and weaponize the fact most people participating in fandom want to share the space with others, as opposed to hurting people.

So instead of upfront ridiculing this kind of maladaptive attempt to foster one's own emotional self-regulation onto random strangers on the internet, fandom compromised and came up with a redundant tag in a good faith attempt to address an imaginary nuance.

There is no nuance to this.

A writer's job is to tag their work correctly. It's not to tag it exhaustively. It's not even to tag it extensively. A writer's sole obligation, as far as AO3 and arguably fandom spaces are concerned, is to make damn sure that the tags they put on their story actually match whatever is going on in that story.

That's it.

That's all.

"But what if I don't want to read X?" Well, you don't read fic that's tagged X.

"But what if I read something that wasn't tagged X?" Well, that's very unfortunate for you, but if it is genuinely that upsetting, you have a responsibility to yourself to only browse things explicitly tagged to not include X.

"But that's not a lot of fic!" Hi, you must be new here, yes, welcome to fandom. Most of our spaces are built explicitly as a reaction to There's Not Enough Of The Thing I Want, both in canon and fandom.

"But there are things on the internet that I don't like!" Yeah, and they are also out there, offline. And, here's the thing, things existing even though we personally dislike or even hate or even flat out find offensive/gross/immoral/unspeakable existing is the price we pay to secure our right to exist as individuals and creators, regardless of who finds US personally unpleasant, hateful or flat out offensive/gross/immoral/unspeakable.

"But what about [illegal thing]?!" So the thing itself is illegal, because the thing itself has been deemed harmful. But your goddamn cop-poisoned authoritarian little heart needs to learn that sometimes things are illegal that aren't harmful, and defaulting to "but illegal!" is a surefire way to end up on the wrong side of the fascism pop quiz. You're not a figure of authority and the more you demand to control and exercise authority by command, rather than leadership, the less impressive you seem. You know how you make actual, genuine change in a community? You center harm and argue in good faith to find accommodations and spread awareness of real, actual problems.

But let's play your game. Let's pretend we're all brainwashed cop-abiding little cogs that do not own a single working brain cell to exercise critical thinking with. 99% of the time, when you cry about any given thing "being illegal!!!" you're correct only so far as the THING itself being illegal. The act or object is illegal. Depiction of it is not. You know why, dipshit? Because if depiction of the thing were illegal, you wouldn't be able to talk about it. You wouldn't be able to educate about it. You wouldn't be able to reexamine and discuss and understand the thing, how and why and where it happens and how to prevent it. And yeah, depiction being legal opens the door for people to make depictions that are in bad taste or probably not appropriate. Sure. But that's the price we pay, creating tools to demystify some of the most horrific things in the world and support the people who've survived them. The net good of those tools existing outweighs the harm of people misusing them.

"You're defending the indefensible!" No, you're clumsily stumbling into a conversation that's been going on for centuries, with your elementary school understanding of morality and your bone-deep police state rot filtering your perception of reality, and insisting you figured it out and everyone else at the table is an idiot for not agreeing with you. Shut the fuck up, sit the fuck down and read a goddamn book.

Happy bday! More Edward bartender?

a continuation of 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

It's not that he doesn't appreciate the sentiment behind his mother sending Ed to be his bodyguard, it's just that no matter how enticing the muscles along his back and arms are, Roy just doesn't see them doing a whole lot of good against anyone that he can't handle himself. Ed's used to dealing with drunken patrons and thugs, not trained military combatants.

"We could just go our separate ways and say we didn't?" he offers.

Ed scoffs. "Yeah, no. Chris could make my life very, very difficult if she wanted to. I'm staying on her good side." He gives him a grin, almost sly but a little too lopsided. "Besides, I'd rather you stay in one piece myself."

If this meeting weren't very, very important, he'd suggest they relocate so Ed could commence guarding his body in a more personal capacity. Their game of flirtation hasn't really led anywhere, but they're outside the bar together for the first time too.

Unfortunately, it really is that important.

"Alright," he sighs. "Be careful."

"I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be the one telling you that," he says, bumping their shoulders together as they had down the street.

I'm sick of internet negativity, so let's combat it: reblog this and saying something nice/pay a compliment to the prev in the tags.

guy who is seriously going through the horrors of being fifteen

[thedoctor91011]

Ace wakes up on a random island two years after his death as a ten-year-old. But he has no memory of his adult life. Sabo just died, and he has a little brother to look after. Or maybe an older brother?

There is a bit of time between Ace waking up and Luffy finding him.

Sorry this is so long I'm still trying to figure out how to do comic-y things.

Part two

[thedoctor91011]

Do people realize that Israel is so unrestrained that it’s now launching attacks in Lebanon and Syria as well. Do people realize how little Arab people mean to these genocidal maniacs that they are now killing people in three Arab countries. Can genocide apologists pause their pure hatred for Arabs to at the very least admit this. Or are we going to pretend that Israel has a reason to be intensifying attacks in Damascus right now

[thedoctor91011]

Israel has killed more children in Gaza since October than in four years of worldwide conflict
