Ok But If Bruce Wayne Somehow Came Upon Zuko Fresh Out Of Banishment He Would Lose His Mind.

ok but if bruce wayne somehow came upon zuko fresh out of banishment he would lose his mind.

black hair? check. bad parent(s)? check. trauma? double check.

bruce: how’d you get your scar?

zuko: my dad got mad at me for saying that killing people is wrong so he lit my face on fire and banished me.

bruce, vibrating with excitement, already pulling adoption papers from his utilility: that’s terrible. how do you feel about capes.

No author is entitled to comments, to interaction, to reblogs or likes or reviews or anything, but in a community where you’re essentially a bunch of indie writers, that’s the lifeblood that keeps people *posting*. Writing doesn’t necessarily stop, but when someone feels like no one gives a shit whether you’re sharing or not, you quit sharing.

@neil-gaiman needs to hear about this!

I had the most bizzare dream last night. I was in a hotel/convention center of some sort, wandering around with some people. Probably characters from different shows, but I don’t remember who, just that at least one was very OOC…. 

We found a door that lead to a section that hadn’t been there before. The rooms were decorated more like someone’s apartment so we left. When we asked the staff said in an offhand manner, that it was a haunted area. So of course we went back and summoned the ghost. 

She was a very sweet old lady who hadn’t quite realized she was dead. Her whole reason for hanging around was that she was waiting for the next book in one of @neil-gaiman‘s series to come out. None of us had heard of it so we went to find him and ask about it. 

He looked very sad and said he had no intention of completing that series. It had been difficult to write and the motivation had left him a long time ago. He went with us to talk to the ghost since he felt so bad that she was hanging around for an impossibility. Once we got there, she looked so thrilled to be meet him. They had a long talk and he came up with a summary of what was going to happen. She gave him a hug and looked so peaceful as she disappeared.

This was a strong reminder to me as a fanfic writer that you never know how much your stories affect people or who may be waiting for an update. It always makes me sad when I go back to read a story and it’s been deleted. 

Also from what I have heard of Mr. Gaiman, this would absolutely be something he would do in heartbeat. I hope this isn’t upsetting to him. I know there are works I’m super behind on and at least I one I may not finish. @one-time-i-dreamt not a submission but something that I thought you might like?

“Why do people like a character who’s committed war crimes but hate this other character just because they’re annoying” because it’s fiction Susan, and being annoying in fiction is a greater sin than being a supervillain, because it won’t make me want to read about them. It isn’t difficult to understand

I found the cutest picrew!! I figured I’d share it with you guys!❤️

Humans Are Weird

So there has been a bit of “what if humans were the weird ones?” going around tumblr at the moment and Earth Day got me thinking. Earth is a wonky place, the axis tilts, the orbit wobbles, and the ground spews molten rock for goodness sakes. What if what makes humans weird is just our capacity to survive? What if all the other life bearing planets are these mild, Mediterranean climates with no seasons, no tectonic plates, and no intense weather? 

What if several species (including humans) land on a world and the humans are all “SCORE! Earth like world! Let’s get exploring before we get out competed!” And the planet starts offing the other aliens right and left, electric storms, hypothermia, tornadoes and the humans are just … there… counting seconds between flashes, having snowball fights, and just surviving.
