ignoring the rest of this. Dani knows how smart and sweet and attractive Rahne is.

Hey, check out this new essay I wrote on Dani Moonstar and Rahne Sinclair! I haven't been this proud of a piece in a while.

I re-read every single comic with them together while writing this, and can without a doubt say that these two should be first in line to come out in Marvel Comics.

[Related: Dani Moonstar should come out as Two-Spirit]

[i-am-trying-my-best-okay]

I'd like to think Dani, upon learning how to better control her fear powers, likes to tell Rahne about fears she thinks are interesting, to which Rahne categorizes.

[slightlycomicobsessed]

literally when future!dani snapped at rahne and screamed how she died in her arms… 😭😭 and yet she still loves her so deeply to call rahne her heart. despite everything, despite all the pain and the grief, she still gets to say goodbye one last time to her, even if she’s not the same rahne who she cradled in her arms when she died

exCUSE ME????? :sob:

Something something "lesbians who flip how we think of hair in terms of relationship roles"

[lesbianmarrow]

was reading a negative review of the new mutants movie and the reviewer said that the movie tries to cover ground already covered better by buffy the vampire slayer and i was like. THEY DONT KNOW that btvs was itself inspired by the new mutants… very sad that a movie that had canonically gay dani sucked so much

they don't even knowwww!!!! ive never seen that movie but oh how i wish it was good. canon moonclair was exactly what we needed in 2020. and yet 😔

[slightlycomicobsessed]

so i found this absolutely gorgeous picrew. so obviously i had to make my fav ship and fav qpr

[parchmentleaves]

She had some fun moments in 1990s X-Factor, mostly bonding with Guido, and she was written ok but mostly in the background in Warren Ellis’ Excalibur run with a high point of her dealing with Rev. Craig and growing as a person by moving last his shadow over her. Of course that got retconned :(

Less said about Raab’s mess and shoving her and Douglock into a relationship after her explicitly seeing him as a friend and distinct from both Doug and Warlock. At least PAD’s torments were well written and had good drama to them.

No one seems to know how to write her, ignoring the really obvious allegories that her upbringing provides - overcoming religious intolerance and cPTSD with found family, queer awakening, feminism vs patriarchy, etc. One of the few good things that the Fox Film got was understanding that.

catching up on rahne content lately, and oh my god?? she deserves so much better than what the writers are giving her like jfc give this girl a break

[lovecatsys]

literally see no reason why Dani and Rahne can't be canon girlfriends at this point

[i-am-trying-my-best-okay]

They're in a hurry.

[parchmentleaves]

Very very gay. They always have been and it’s about time the comics let them be together!

how the FUCK are these two not canon in the comics???

[tepkunset]

Who are Dani's girlfriends?

Dani's first girlfriend: Wolfsbane

(Very shippable in New Mutants vol 1 and New Mutants vol 4)

Dani's second girlfriend: Karma

(Very shippable in New Mutants vol 2, New X-Men vol 2, New Mutants vol 3, and New Mutants vol 4)

Other less popular girlfriends but just as valid are Magik and Blink

[alicepooryorick]

1. How many works on AO3?

3. Top 5 fics by Kudos:

the fire in your heart is beginning to fade I'm Not Perfect, But I'm Here For You Five Times Peter Almost Called Natasha 'Mom', and The One Time He Did The Wet Cat And The Golden Retriever Three's a Crowd

Yeah... all of these are MCU/mama spider because I had a super intense mamaspider hyperfixation for like years lol. Not linking them because I'm lowkey kinda embarrassed of them now lol.

4. What fandoms do you write for?

Mostly MCU, but since getting into comics it's just generally been Marvel 616 stuff, but I have a handful of DC fics as well from way back.

5. Do you respond to comments?

I say I do most of the time, but only for WIPs I'm actively working on or excited about lol.

6. Angstiest Ending?

I'd say my fic the day dani moonstar died. the ending is really the beginning because it's basically just a fic about if dani commited suicide lmao.

7. Fic with the Happiest Ending?

Hm I'd say most of my fics have happy endings because I like hurt/comfort the most.

8. Do you get hate?

Once, when I was starting out, but not really!

9. Do you write smut?

I've written smut, actually my favourite fic ever started as me wanting to write a smut fic

10. Do you write crossovers?

Not typically

11. Ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

No :(

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

14. All time favourite ship?

You can't do this to me.... daniyana.... moonclair for romantic tho.

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

⁠holding it together with one loose string, which is my "what if fem!peter was raised in the red room"

No pressure tags: not tagging anyone it's ending here bitch <3

Fic Writer Asks

Thank you for the tag, @missmorwen 🥰

1. How many works on AO3?

87 across my accounts, plus something like maybe 5-10 anonymous works that I won't go list after list to count exactly 😅 and another 10-20 that I've orphaned throughout the years

2. Total AO3 Word Count?

290K

3. Top 5 fics by Kudos:

motionless ruin

Self-fulfilling Prophecy

neither serving in hell, nor reigning in hell

if you look at us, maybe something survived

And Maybe a New Day Begins

Unsurprisingly, all of them are for DC/Marvel. My most kudo-ed fics in small fandoms reach probably the least kudo-ed DC/Marvel fics (except for the experimental stuff).

4. What fandoms do you write for?

Currently mostly writing DC, with a side of Marvel. I'm also always writing for Blade Runner 2049, even if it's just a little (it's my obsession that burns not brightly but for a long time, to paraphrase the original Blade Runner hehe). Also have some Detroit: Become Human projects that I haven't given up on yet. Theoretically, I also have an Ex Machina/Companion crossover. I've written for many other fandoms, too, but I don't consider that I write for them anymore (but I never say never etc).

5. Do you respond to comments?

Yeah, but I'm not consistent about it, because sometimes I just really have low energy. I have more than 190 comments unanswered and I'm sorry 😭 but I lost control over the replies at one point and now I don't know how to recover. I've been trying to keep up with the comments in my most recent fics, though. But I read and cherish every comment I get ❤️❤️

6. Angstiest Ending?

Okay, so, I usually only talk about DC and Marvel fics on this blog, to keep it on theme, but I love my fics for other fandoms, so I'm gonna mention them too. It's hard to elect the one angstiest ending, because I write a lot of sad and downer endings, so I'm picking 3:

not a name at all, though taken for one, because it is canon compliant, and the reader knows that everything the MC tells herself will happen, actually won't. She'll die a dehumanized thing who doesn't even know she's alive :/

Children of the Integrated Circuit, because... Well. The implications of the last line :3

The Habit of Discontentment, this one was depressing all around, and the ending makes everything else worse (maybe?)

7. Fic with the Happiest Ending?

Uhhhh. I kind of don't really have endings that I'd classify as "happy", because all those happy endings are in WIPs I haven't finished lmaaaao. I have a few hopeful endings, best I can do right now...

8. Do you get hate?

Always got nice comments and interactions :)

9. Do you write smut?

Yeah. And it's a curious thing, because there were two turning points in the writing smut thing for me. The first one was DBH. I had the eventual WIP with some suggestive stuff before getting into DBH, but it was DBH that made me really start writing smut (all of it is still in my drafts). Then there was DC. DC, where every other fic is a smutfest (affectionate), which made me start publishing the smut I write. It was a bit daunting, but now I'm glad it happened. Maybe I'll go back and edit all my DBH smut and post it 🤔

10. Do you write crossovers?

I do, but most of them are not posted. I have a bunch of WIPs that I don't know if I'll finish for Blade Runner/DBH, a DBH/Ex-Machina one, Ex-Machina/Companion, a few others for miscellaneous sci-fi fandoms. The only one that I can remember that I have posted is neither serving in heaven, nor reigning in hell, a DC/Marvel crossover... Which I'm not sure I'll finish, because I don't like very much anymore how I was writing both Natasha and Jason in this. I have other ideas for Nat & Jason, though, and I'll probably use parts of that fic in a new, revamped crossover.

11. Ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yeah. There was once a guy offering to translate fics into Dutch, and I took up his offer. Someone also once translated a fic of mine into French, and they didn't even leave kudos on the original (I'm salty about this to this day, can you tell?)

13. Have you ever co-written a fic?

Not yet, but I have a few ideas and projects with some people :)

14. All time favourite ship?

Idk... I'd say it's Masriel from His Dark Materials, but I probably won't ever write fic for them (the source material is perfect imo).

15. WIPs you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

There are so so many of these... But the one I wish the most I could finish is Honest Promise to a Degree, which is a fic I had SUCH grand plans for, but I just... Am not that interested in the characters and fandom anymore. I'm also a bit embarrassed about this fandom (the source material is really mediocre lmao, but it gave me a short obsession) and I'm forcing yo mention it here, in the hopes it will help me get over that and maybe even rekindle my passion for this fic. Who knows? ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

16. Writing strengths?

I think writing emotion, and certain kinds of dialogue (I can't write banter to save my life, but I think I do okay with tense interactions).

17. Writing Weaknesses?

Physical descriptions. My writing has the white room syndrome problem, I am aware of that.

18. Thoughts on mixed language dialogue?

It really depends. I think a few words and a sentence here and there is okay and can even be good (in general), but much more than that, I think it makes things confusing.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

The Matrix and Narnia crossover, before I even knew the concept of fanfic (I think I was like... 9?). First fandom I was aware I was writing fic for was Twilight.

20. Favourite fic you’ve ever written?

How dare you make me choose 😭 out of the finished fics, it's probably Rubatosis. From my WIPs, I am really really in love with you'll be my sin eater and my damnation (I've been having just so much fun writing it, Dick is sooo unwell lmao) and An Emergent Property, which is the fic of my heart, and I have suuuuch grand plans for it, and even a bit of hesitancy about posting the chapters I have already written because it has to be perfect!!!
