There are only so many fanfics that use the entirety of DC as cardboard cutouts to prop up bat family characters that I can read before I go berserk.
I swear to god. Every character that has ever been shipped with a bat or coexists on the same team as a bat is owed an apology.
How many Young Justice fanfics that solely revolve around Tim must exist? How many Titans fanfics centered only on Dick? Why is it a herculean task to find a Justice League fanfic without Bruce as the main character?
And then even when you do find a fic that seems like it's balanced, everything still revolves around the bat. Like Kon, Cassie and Bart have nothing else going on in their lives except Tim and Tim's issues or thinking about Tim. Like Donna and Wally and Roy just cannot function if they aren't spending every waking moment thinking about Dick.
I'm... Guys. I'm at my limit. I swear to god. We need to make a Batman tag and surgically remove all these fics and quarantine them there. We'll keep the actual DC fics and they can do whatever the fuck they want in their own tag. It's getting ridiculous how hard it is to find fanfic that's actually DC related and isn't just 'The BatFam Show'.

Phullo it is I again!
I am very glad that you actually responded and given me an actual advice since I was worried about the question I sent you.
Though besides that I have another question for you (hoorayyy)!
So, about the reading books earlier- I’m fortunately a bookworm too! It’s just that I notice I prefer reading the genre science fiction/psychological horror more than… anything else!
And while the books I am currently reading, ‘Flowers For Algernon’ and ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ (these books are seriously so wonderfully made they make want to tear my walls), DO have romantic aspects of it- it’s not really the main plot of the story..
‘Flowers For Algernon’ has amazing storytelling and is very unique- though I’m not sure if you’ve read it before but, it’s actually just the main character taking notes. Hence why there was a lot misspellings which honestly makes it a great touch if you know the context behind it.
On the other hand, ‘I’m Thinking Of Ending Things’ too shares the same uniqueness as the other, possibly even more unique if I must say so myself. Though I REALLY don’t want to make my story similar to them since I want to make it more heart warming than fucked up..
Which is why I feel like I have the need to borrow or buy at least one romantic book because, I lack of it. I mean I accidentally borrowed it one time but it was kind of disappointing.
I don’t know if its a good idea and if I should do it or not since does it really matter of the genre, or just the writing?
Still, if you have any good books that are in the romance genre. Feel free to recommend some to me!
-lots of love, from another bookworm
welcome back! happy to hear you're a bookworm as well <3 im writing those titles down since i read a criminal lack of sci-fi despite loving it
i actually don't have any straight up romance recs - i don't actively search it out (outside of fanfic), so any romance i read just comes with whatever book i've picked up. just straight up romance bores me, unless its a fic with a pairing i actively like. and even then, i need to take breaks from it unless the romance is interspersed with an actual plot. im not a romantically-geared person! i dont have single Main Plot Is Romance book on my shelves!
but imo its really just the quality of writing that helps. ive never been in a romance, im the child of two different divorces, and yet ive been told that i write romance fairly well. go fuckin figure lmao.
so actually my advice on romance is to just like. wow idk what i do is pick apart the romances i see on tv / in writing. what makes them good together, how do they act around each other, what are their love languages, what's their dynamic, what traditional romance things do they partake in, what dont they partake in, do they have anything nontraditional, do they work and why do / they dont they - does that make their relationship more interesting or is it flat. are they a good match.
you don't have to have every answer, but ive found that at least understanding their characters / dynamics, and having them interact in a way that suits them will help your romance feel natural. dont conform to tropes or tradition, that will just make the relationship flat and unrealistic. and you can always sprinkle in little things that you like / would like, which will help ground the romance and get you into the groove
tldr with romance, i think it's better to observe real life (whether that's paying attention to couples or reading reddit threads) & analyze in-love or in-a-relationship characters instead of just reading romance novels. bc honestly, and from what i can tell, they can tend to be over the top or cookie cutter
just realized you did not explicitly ask for romance advice! Oopsie! i got a little carried away here....

Bo-Katan asking Din where he was when Mandalore fell cause she has no idea how old he is opens the door for some golden mandolorian comedy/crack.
Like how many times do people completely misplace how old someone is? Like we have oh no they're hot memes when mandos take off their helmets BUT what about:
"Oh gods you're a child! Isn't it past your bed time! Go home! Here's some choccy milk!"
"Oh my ..you're like much older...I um thought you were my age...oh it's definitely not a deal breaker!!"
"A bAbY!!???"
"A MILF??!!!"
"Hmm..." "What?" "You're so annoying I just assumed you were a really skilled 17 year old" "IM 37!!!!!!!"
So many possibilities for nonsense!

My classification of “normal” vs “magic” beings is based on the effects of the Dreambeats from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The Dreambeats affected everyone except Dreambert, Starlow, and Antasma. And Dreambert says
(Mario is affected too, it’s just that Starlow successfully woke him up temporarily, unlike Luigi here)
Now, it could just be that he means that the Dreambeats have no effect specifically on Pi’illos and Stars, but I interpreted this to mean that they wouldn’t affect any being that isn’t considered “normal”. And while normal itself is a rather subjective word, I think it’s safe for me to assume that ghosts aren’t normal, so they wouldn’t be affected by the Dreambeats either. Thus, Stars, Pi’illos, and Ghosts are classified under “magical beings”.
I am defining magical beings as beings who are, in a sense, made of magic. That is to say, they don’t have organic bodies, rather their bodies are made of magic. This doesn’t mean their bodies aren’t real. It just means that they don’t have organs or a need for sustenance, and they can’t reproduce by any normal means. You know, all the stuff that makes living things living.
Questioning now whether this makes rock beings like Thwomps normal or not. I’d like to say that they are normal, but I am unsure whether they require sustenance or can reproduce…
