why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?

I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

One of my favourite fic tropes is “drugged and loopy on truth serum”.

Normally-stoic characters acting wildly out of character and professing the innermost feelings that canon has implied but is too chickenshit to address? Or fixing toxic canon dynamics because fuck it, fanfic is for dreamers?

Chef’s. Kiss. Mwah mwah mwah, mutherfucker.

Eg:

Bruce Wayne: “I love my sons so much. Even the large murdery one. He was just my tiny little guy, and now he’s so big and problematic but that’s just more to love.”

Or characters dropping absolutely horrific bombshells about canon traumas and giggling like a teenager drinking their first Bacardi.

Eg:

Tim Drake: “I’m so glad I made all those League Of Assassins bases go kablooey. It prolly killed hundreds of people but pssssh I wasn’t ready to be a dad to Ra’s babies.”

Drunk-seeming, loopy, hilariously honest and oblivious character rambles are my jam.

If anyone has any recs, throw them my way.

"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.

Can you imagine being there when famous english poet W.B Yates kicked Alistair Crowley down a flight of stairs? Just knowing it happened in real life brings joy to my heart.

I have said this before and I will say it again: right wing freaks do not care about the details of your trans identity — they just want us all dead. Your AGAB or life story does not matter to them. Your sexuality doesn’t matter to them. It doesn’t even matter if you’re not actually trans and just gender nonconforming. They want all of us dead.

That’s why internet infighting drives me up a wall. You’re doing their work for them. Get your heads out of your asses and be kind to your fellow trans and queer people.

We are all more similar than we are different.

To a homophobe, even the most chaste kiss on the cheek between gay people is exactly as disgusting and degenerate as a hardcore BDSM orgy hosted in the town square, so you may as well ally with the BDSM orgy enthusiasts to throw bricks at the cops who are going to try and arrest all of you together anyway.

Batlantern: Blondie

*Steph angrily entering the Cave*

Steph: Never again, you hear me? Never again. I'm D-O-N-E.

Dick: What on earth happened?? I thought you said earlier that the mission with you, Batman, and Green Lantern went well?

Steph: Oh, the mission went fine.

Dick:???

Steph: It was the post-mission celebration afterwards

Dick:

Dick: what.

Dick: wait what happened to B.

Steph: Probably still on the West Coast. I left him there after I had to watch him seduce Hal by singing Blondie's "Call Me" in a white tee and acid wash jeans at this karaoke dive bar.

Dick:

Dick:

Jason: Oh, that pic you sent me makes more sense now, lol.

Dick: *blood pressure rising* goddamnit Bruce...
