#vinelark asks

[vinelark]

i do relish digging into the angst of the various murder attempts between jason and tim, but i also enjoy the hilarity of them both being so completely over the emotional baggage of it to the point of using it in their brotherly spats. jason comes to ask tim a favor and tim's like "wow lots of audacity asking a favor from the guy you tried to MURDER" and jason says "I will finish the job right now don't fucking test me" and tim says "i wish you would then i wouldnt have to listen to your overblown dramatic monologues ever again" and jason immediately gets him into a headlock and tim starts shrieking and wailing that jason's trying to kill him again and jason's struggling to get a hand over his mouth becuz if he goes on too long kon will show up from wherever he is and jason will have to go on the run for a couple months. and everyone else just has to live with this

yeah once they’re out of Active Murder Zone tim has the upper hand every time because he’s got the kon trump card. even if jason has bizarro on speed dial it’s not the same because bizarro has no beef with tim and meanwhile kon is at all times one wrong look away from dropping jason into an active volcano

stephanie brown for the song association!

I have soooo many but i think the songs i associate most with her are:

Just a Girl by No Doubt: THE stephanie brown song ever. is it cliche? yes but that's where the fun comes in! it's camp, it's fun, and it suits her so well!!

2. Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan: my favorite character archetype is "girls who cry while listening to pink pony club"

3. Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks: no deep reasoning here i just think she'd like it

[hmslusitania]

for the ask meme! #6 for Putting both hands over my mouth, I can only hope nothing's gonna come out?

Which scenes were cut and which were added in?

Originally, Kon figured out he was being weird about Tim and Jon dating on account of being in love with Tim in chapter two, and so there was a bit of that scene that featured Cissie assuring him that watching Wendy the Werewolf Stalker was not going to help his big damn bi crisis, and she would know. But I did end up preferring the scene in chapter three where it’s Pa Kent instead.

As far as adding a scene, I don’t think I really did? Idk I tend to write pretty fast and edit as I go so I don’t always remember which things were later thoughts and which were there from the beginning

Thank you for asking!

[mammutblog]

Do you think Tim owns a pair of big red boots

this is my kind of ask thank you he absolutely has a pair of nine hundred dollar cartoon boots

also this gem from @cairoscene and @vinelark

[ifyoucandaniel]

exactly one person asked and i’ve been DYING to make this, so here are all of my favorite long batman fanfics in general and for new readers @twisted-tales-told :)

cards on the table by @wesslan ! 69k, completed. this is one of my all time favorite fanfictions, it’s so funny and tim is a mastermind genius and a little liar <3 he basically pretends to be a fortune teller and gives scarily good predictions and advice by stalking the upper class and eventually gets involved with the batfam and has to maintain his lies while dealing with his issues :) 10/10, very found family, good angst, so much lying

Dark Matter by @mysterycyclone , 221k, ongoing. this is a batman fanfic rec, of course my bbg dark matter is going to be here <3 this is a MCUxDCU crossover where after infinity war (spoilers for that if you haven’t seen it!) peter parker gets sent to the DCU dimension with part of the soul stone and basically is haunted by the ghosts of the avengers while trying to survive in gotham and get back to his dimension. this is so well written i’ve read it at least three times, it’s still ongoing but trust me it is SO GOOD. i can’t properly describe it, but if you like spider-man and you are interested in batman, you’ll love.

Red is the Color of Sinners by @bluelotuswrites , series, 120k, ongoing, M. i want you to look me in my eyes when i tell you this is my favorite series on ao3. it is set after under the red hood and daredevil 3 where jason and matt meet in a church after jason loses his ability to speak following the events of UTRH. they keep running into each other both as matt and daredevil and eventually jason begins helping matt out with injuries and tech. it’s not finished yet, but there is something so compelling about their dynamic in this series as well as jason’s overall character and how he is portrayed. i’m a sucker for mute jason after UTRH and this series does so well giving him a fresh start and a place away from gotham to heal and build relationships. i cannot recommend enough.

buy back the secrets by @vinelark , 71k, ongoing, T. THIS!!! oh my god, so this is a timkon fic where kon still doesn’t know tim’s civilian identity, but whenever he’s in trouble tim calls for superboy which leads to them meeting without kon knowing. shenanigans ensure when kon starts spending more time with tim! it’s still ongoing but the author is currently working on the next part and it is so so worth the wait. chapter 4 ends on a cliffhanger though so be warned :))

Sales People Know (listening is the most important part) by Mayhem10, 77k, completed, T. this has the coolest urban magical realism ever. tim basically runs this magic shop that shows up places and people who need something find it in his shop :) it’s kinda a slow burn found family fic with magic themes and a smidge of angst!

Retrograde Motion by Lysical, 112k, completed, T. this is best de-aged kid fic ever. jason gets turned into a 7 year old and basically the outlaws, artemis and biz, join forces with the batfam to take care of him. but trust me when i say this is worth your time, it might sound tropey but in the best way possible!! and jason’s relationship with artemis is sooo important to me in this!

Hand in Unloveable Hand (a chokehold) by britishparty, 54k, completed, M. this is one of the best psychological torture/grooming fics i’ve ever read. pretty much what if while our taking photos of batman and robin, little tim gets kidnapped and black mask gets his hands on him and decides he’s the perfect size for a protege. years of psychological abuse and insane mind games ensue. also tim is a Badass™️

If He Had Come by bronwe_iris, 45k, completed, T. so i’m a little freak and i love the angst of arkham knight jason, but more specifically the aus where bruce saves jason before he becomes the arkham knight! this is an au where bruce finds jason and saves him from the joker after 9 months of torture and brings him home. focuses on his healing mentally and physically and rebuilding his relationship with his family

Banshee in a Well by liverobinreaction (bugbee), 43k, completed, T. veeeery good angst. basically what if tim couldn’t die? 43k of tim drake whump where he just dies a bajillion times and eventually his family notices <3

The Birds: Hatching a Family by Oceanera12, 81k, completed, T. this is like “what if the batkids weren’t adopted by bruce, but instead they were all foster siblings who can’t seem to stay out of gotham at night and batman happens to find them and decides obviously he can’t leave these kids to their own business, he has to stick his nose in it” and there’s some angst and heaps of found family

The Hellblazer’s Apprentice by @bluelotuswrites, 29k, ongoing, M. what can i say, im a simple woman, i love to see jason with literally any older male mentor :) basically in UTRH what if he took up an apprenticeship under constantine to learn magic to piss off batman! so good, i really love constantine so seeing him and jason interact in a long fic is so good. also ALL BLADES JASON TODD SAVE ME… ALL BLADES JASON TODD-

something in the static by bonerot19, 101k, ongoing series with three main completed works, T. this is a jason centric series where jason still lives in crime alley with his mom and dad and never stole the batmobile tires. it follows his life in crime alley with an addict mom and an abusive dad and one night when his dad is whaling on him nightwing finds him and the bats just can’t seem to leave him alone after that. steph is his neighbor and best friend also and their relationship is so good. this is a “what if jason took a different way home to the wayne’s” fic series and i love it so much <3

catch the asteroids that come your way by ThePackWantsTheD, 54k, completed, T. i don’t read a lot of ships in the batman fandom i’m sorry, but this kyle/jason one is sooo lovely. basically the two of them growing up together and falling in love and then dealing with the aftermath of A Death in the Family and finding each other again :) really sweet and nice!

hope you find something you like! i realized the majority of these are tim or jason centric, and i love them all dearly, but if anyone has any recs for long fics focusing on any of the other batkids lmk! and any other recs in general, i am a fiend for new fics

[amandayetagain]

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for submitting all those TimKon fics to haveyoureadthisfanfic because I have been craving some good TimKon recently and had not had any luck before seeing those asks

I’m so glad! Those authors are all really great, especially merils/ @mamawasatesttube. The characterization is peak! It also never feels too isolated (even in a snow globe!), there’s almost always a full cast of characters or background characters who add life to the story even just by mentions. If you’re looking for someone who really GETS them and does the homework (reads comics) rimi is the author for you.

I’d definitely subscribe bc tumblr and its functionally infinite dash totally drown out updates.

If you liked the identity shenanigans in @vinelark’s buy back the secrets, @clambuoyance has some love square au art I think about on the daily. So does @tiffycat and want a better view randomly echoes in my head thanks to them.

WIP Word Game

Rules: you will be given a word. then you share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that starts with each letter of your word

Tagged by @dreaming-marchling with the word JEWEL 💎

J: Jason points a gun at him but it’s clearly perfunctory, more like a wave goodbye than a threat.

E: Endless vitriolic meetings in the mornings and arduous rebuilding efforts in the afternoons beside a stone-faced populace who maintained the smallest shred of hope.

W: “Will I live, Healer Eerin?” Obi-Wan asked, feeling ironical.

E: Even her complement, her most natural defenders, couldn’t love her and would have defected to another ship immediately were the shipyards able to keep up with demand.

L: “Lucky,” Magnus says, dangerous.

Tagging @andrea-lyn @vinelark @tessiete and anyone else working on WIPs that maybe wants to share! Your word is FIRST

omegaverse for the kink ask thing

well. listen. there are certain things about omegaverse i fuck with heavily. like i do love to hit men with the misogyny stick it must be said, and depending on your canon of omegaverse you can have really fun and pangy setups (as @vinelark could tell you) like scruffing and misappropriation of the alpha voice, so that it earns it several points

but then you also have. the slick. the biting. the knotting. the general mate thing which i find pretty offputting. and the smells, god everyone is just reeking in omegaverse. and the like wolf talk? ooh yeah fill me with your pups? solid 4/10 for silliness

[a-canceled-stamp]

Hi Stamp!

For the ask game:

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love   ❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best? 🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

Hi again Rae!!! This answer is very very late, but thank you so much for the ask 🥺💞

🥤 ⇢ recommend an author or fanfic you love  

IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION. But also a favorite. I shall choose 3 bc I can. buy back the secrets by sundiscus ( @vinelark ). TimKon fic feat. Identity Porn out the wazoo. I'm still obsessed with this one. It's so fricking good. It was the first fic we read in our book/fic club and y'all, let me tell you. We are still not okay. When chapter 6 drops all hell will break loose. A Premonition of Drift-Design by @shirokokuro. Amazing Tim & Bruce content. I first read this years ago when I first joined the fandom, and have been obsessed ever since. I reread it the other day for the memories and y'all. It is just as freaking good as I remember, if not better. The entire If That Happens, I'll Catch You and Secretary Tim (And Other Shenanigans) series are top notch tbh. Go read them rn, do it 🔫 And finally, a Malevolent fic bc this show is ruining my life [affectionate]. lacuna by @calamitxtum. I am 5 chapters in and have eaten my pillow. The mattress is next. I am so so so normal about these two. It doesn't help that Cal's writing is insanely good. NOMNOMNOM. The fic was completed the other day too so you can and should dive into it this instant. (Spoilers through ep 28 though). Go!!!

❄️ ⇢ what's your dream theme/plot for a fic, and who would write it best?

This was an impossible question to answer. I have been staring at this draft for 30 min. But I finally have an answer. I love the Hidden Injuries trope and have started reading more fics focusing on Bruce and Jason's relationship. And honestly, there is no one I trust more with this dynamic than lemongarden. They are the one who wrote Stargazer, and bro. Brooooooo. Holy shit. It is fucking incredible. I wish I could bottle their characterizations of Jason and Bruce in a bottle and study them for science. Stargazer is so incredible near and dear to my heart, I almost get emotional talking about it ahdjkhskjd. This sort of turned into another rec but you know what those are always great.

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favorite type of comment to receive on your work?

Honestly any kind of comment at all, like just a goofy smiley goes a long way. But comments that make me kick my feet are the keyboard smash, all capital letters, unhinged rambles - those fill me with immense joy. Also, the liveblog-esque comments are to die for. And the analytical, deep dive into the reader's own interpretation of events is so much fun to read. I know that these take time tho so I really don't expect people to do that (I once spent an hour on a comment. AN HOUR. It was 1384 words rip).

Thank you again for the ask, Rae! Ily :smek:

blasting the music ray: 🎶✨when u get this, list 5 songs u like to listen to, and publish. then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers 🎶✨

WEEHOOO WAHOO 💛💛💛 ty for the tag!!!

only 5 eh... some bangersss i have been enjoying recently:

buffalo by hurray for the riff raff off their new album THE PAST IS STILL ALIVE. that album BANGS and "buffalo" is one of my favorite tracks. "this year tried to kill us, baby / well good luck trying, you can't catch me!"

the neko case + eric bachmann version of sleep all summer, originally by crooked fingers (ie eric bachmann + lara meyerratkin). i love the original version (#1 crooked fingers fan) but/and neko case is one of the most beautiful singers of all time. this is truly 2 great tastes that taste great together!

my west african blues journey has taken me to tinariwen, which i understand is Thee preeminent tuareg desert blues group. just learned that my fave song off their album ELWAN has a BANGERRRR animated music video: nànnuflày

going home by my man leonard cohen... i think more artists should write songs about their musiciansonas. also i love his bg singers in basically every song but they're particularly beautiful in this one

i am basically always thinking about the plague by nakhane my best friend nakhane. TOTAL BANGER about gay situationships turning back into gay friendships. and allegiance and love and joy through terror. and the power of a beautiful trumpet solo

Kon: If I had a nickle for every time I fell for an emo twink from gotham who's weirdly intense, has blackmail and stalking as hobbies, and crafts elaborate plots to convince people he's okay, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't-

Robin: One.

Kon: What?

Tim, taking off his mask: One.

tim being like how dare you imply there’s someone else who could pull off this impeccable combination of neuroses. i am wholly singular thank you

“What if Shinra retaliates more if we do?” said Wedge.  “We could try catching them,” said Cloud.  Ah, so this was why Barret disliked the attention of a full room. Everyone turned to stare at him, and Cloud felt abruptly naked under the heat of seven pairs of eyes. Six and one behind sunglasses, at least. “You want to try catching a Turk?” Biggs asked blankly, like Cloud had just suggested domesticating a shark.
