So... I found this and now it keeps coming to mind. You hear about "life-changing writing advice" all the time and usually its really not—but honestly this is it man.

I'm going to try it.

[bleusarcellewrites]

I am. So fucking tired of Batman being portrayed as a bad parent and a toxic person. And it’s so goddamn widespread. Fuck, it might be as bad as the whole “Superman being a kindhearted Boy Scout is boring” take.

I get it, the man’s not exactly stable, he watched his parents get murdered in front of him and spent years of his life training to fight crime dressed like a giant scary bat, of course he’s not perfect.

But to say that Bruce Wayne isn’t caring, isn’t empathetic, to call him abusive…it just misses the point of who the character is to me.

Why do you think he fights crime? Yes, part of it is because he’s bitter and sad because his parents were cruelly ripped from him as a child, and he’s lashing out against the corruption of his city. It’s arguably the focus of his earlier years. But he learns to become more than that. He learns to bring hope, a chance to be better.

Harleen Quinzel is the Joker’s right hand lady, but she’s also a victim of an abusive relationship and a woman with a surprisingly strong moral compass and a love for animals, and wants to get better.

Harvey Dent is a man who will decide someone’s fate on a coin toss(and a pretty inaccurate depiction of DID), but he’s also Bruce’s close friend who clearly needs help learning to live with his condition, rather than try to get rid of it, and someone who he still goes out of his way to visit, even after everything.

Victor Fries is a cold, emotionless man who will callously discard allies and blame them for being careless, but he’s also a man who’s either lashing out because he had the love of his life taken from him, or just desperate to make sure she isn’t taken from him, and is willing to do anything just to guarantee her survival.

Even the Joker, arguably one of the most morally bankrupt characters in all of fiction, is someone that Batman has offered a chance to. After the guy shoots the daughter of his friend, a girl he cared for like she was his own kid, and paralyzes her from the waist down, he tells the Joker that he doesn’t want to hurt him. He wants to get him help. He looks at this monster who has taken countless lives and says “You don’t have to be alone.”

For fuck’s sake, he sat with Joe Chill in his last moments so that he wouldn’t be alone. Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents, who took so much from him, the person responsible for all of the misery and suffering he’s gone through. And he sits with the man to comfort him while dies.

And you’re gonna tell me the man who did that would abuse his kids?

That he’d hold up the young man whose death was his greatest failure, the boy he grieved, and say this?

That he’d look his goddamn son in the eyes and say this to him?

Why the FUCK do you think he took in Dick Grayson in the first place? It wasn’t because he saw the kid and thought “Ah. A potential soldier.”, it was because he saw a boy experiencing the same heartbreaking loss he had so many years ago, and wanted to make sure he didn’t end up as bitter and miserable as he was.

Why do you think he smiled when Tim Drake presented him a broken watch for Father’s Day? Because he was just happy to see the boy alive and safe.

DAMIAN LITERALLY POINTED AT A COW AND SAID “I’m keeping her. She’s Bat-Cow.” AND BRUCE JUST WENT WITH IT. DIDN’T EVEN NEED TO ARGUE WHY BRUCE SHOULD LET HIM KEEP HER. HE SAID “this cow is my pet now” AND BRUCE SAID “alright, bet”.

The thing about Batman is that he wants to make sure nobody else ends up feeling the way he does. That’s not just about stopping a mugger so a boy’s parents aren’t gunned down. It’s about giving his loved ones the support and care that he couldn’t have, because it was taken from him. It’s about comforting someone who just went through a traumatic experience and letting them know that they’re going to be okay. It’s about going to someone locked away in a cell who thinks that they’re a lost cause and a burden to society and telling them that he wants to help them get better. It’s about EMPATHY.

That’s what makes him a HERO. He’s meant to inspire us, to show us that we can have that same empathy for others around us, that we can turn our suffering into hope for a better future.

I just wish more people at DC would start recognizing that. But I might as well follow that example myself. Maybe through this struggle of having to see this hero mistreat the people around him and act like a grade-A jackass, people will start to recognize that missing empathy, and slowly but surely, it might come back. After all, what is this post, if not trying to bring attention to the matter in the hopes of fixing it?

'dreams', for linktober.. I think these two would both have their fair share of nightmares post-canon, but especially Zelda, after being stuck in some magical void battling Ganon for literally one hundred years. that girl needs a hug

Wild steps out of the portal, looking both exhausted and victorious at the same time through all the grime and dirt that sticks to his body, and he only beams brighter once he spots them just a few feet away from him.

All of them are able to share a relieved smile with their missing champion before he’s swallowed up by the stone hard ground beneath his feet. The portal that had brought their missing brother back closes shortly after and the group is left in silence. One that was never meant to last long.

“Seriously?!” Wind shrieks and spats out every curse known in his Hyrule and the others’ Hyrules he has learned throughout their quest as he glares at the cobble stones that have stolen both his face and brother. “You wanna go, bridge? You wanna go!?”

(Or the one where the Chain is able to reunite with the brother that got taken away for another quest only for said brother to get eaten by a bridge out of nowhere. It takes them a while to make sense of it through all the panic and screaming.)

Writing Advice From Experience 1 - Blood loss

1. When you first lose blood, it doesn't feel that bad immediately, you won't actually notice it.

2. After 10 minutes and with you moving around, you will start to feel cold like you're sweating and your muscles ache.

3. Your face feels cold and you might get something akin to a headache. This is when you feel like you want to sit down.

4. Your vision will blur before going black at the edges and your limbs start tingling.

5. With the impaired vision your body will have a hard time balancing so any attempt you make is overcompensated, making you move more than you intended or crash into wall.

6. Your pulse will increase, like you can hear the heart pounding away along with some static noise in your ears as if you're standing next to a waterfall but directly in your ears.

7. You will later feel hot and then cold again. It will be like a roller coaster.

8. Trying to move without properly resting first will make your symptoms come back twice as bad!

9. It can affect you hours after initial blood loss event!

This information has been brought to you by me donating blood and not preparing properly. Fun stuff 11/10 would recommend for the experience alone, free snacks is a win along with learning your blood type.

“We’re gonna die in this Hyrule!” Wind whines, falling to his knees. “The Heroes of Courage! Defeated for lack of civilization and in the middle of fucking nowhere!”

“Come on, where’s your sense of adventure, Sailor?” The captain asks, reaching out to ruffle Wind’s hair and looking unfazed when his hand is slapped away by the grumpy teen.

“Back where I left the last fucks I had to give: at the bottom of the river we were spat out days ago.” Wind replies, ignoring Sky’s exasperated ‘Wind’ along with Time’s own warning glare.

“Same,” Legend says dryly from the side.

Wind jumps at the validation. “See!!”

(Or the one where the chain ends up in a new Hyrule and, while they’re yet to find the last Link to their chain, they keep meeting up with a hylian named Champ in the oddest ways. All of them except for Twilight. Spoilder alert: all of them need to learn how to ask the right questions.)

you ever like… forget that you like your own writing? like yeah sometimes reading old fic is hard bc u see all the mistakes n what u could’ve done better but sometimes i’m reading through my own fic and i realize that it entertains me, i enjoy reading my own writing because i like writing because this stuff came out of my brain and i loved it enough to pour it out somewhere and keep it and it’s beautiful and no one else could have written it because these were my thoughts my ideas my imagination my creation…. anyway folks loving and cherishing your writing is a form of self love and we should all embrace rereading bits and pieces of our own fic every now and then

Um hello can u direct me to the other parts of brown sugar?

Hey, I’m trying to find your Drabble called “Secrets” that seems to be about Keith and Lance as princes who love each other but have to marry girls? I’m not really sure, but the art I saw of it was beautiful! They were dancing in a ballroom and gazing across at each other. I’d really like to read it 😊

Aaaaaaaah, I remember that one!!! Oh, man, that was so fun to write and I loved every second.

I was like, ‘yaaaaaaass, yaaaaaaaaass be angsty’ because honestly, ain’t just the fucking worst to KNOW that the one your heart desires is within some feet from you and YET you can’t reach them? Isn’t it the fucking worst to live through ‘so close and yet so far’ ?

I swear the ‘so close and yet so far’ is my favorite bittersweet scenario anywhere. It’s just heartbreaking.

ANyway, to answer to your ask!! Apologies for the ramble, I’m in a fair mood. That drabble was on my Intagram account @bleusarcelle BUT a while back I archived a lot of my drabbles there, those that were more than a single drabble and had more than one part on their story.

Though, if you’re interested, I did add it to the collection where all of my drabbles from intagram can be found! It’s on a pdf format ebook I sell at my online store! 

Thanks for the ask!! :D
