"This fic was ai generated—" Cool, so lemme block you real quick
I feel like Dick grayson embodies so well the song "Stay frosty royal milk tea" it isn't even funny I swear.
You mean to tell me that this
"I think I got too many memories getting in the way of me/ I'm 'bout to go Tonya Harding on the whole world's knee"
Or this
"Some princes don't become kings/Even at the best times I'm out of my mind/You only get what you grieve"
Or even this
"The only thing that's ever stopping me is me, hey/The only thing that's ever stopping me is me, hey/I testify if I die in my sleep/Then know that my life was just a killer dream, yeah"
Or, lastly
"Seems like the whole damn world went and lost its mind/And all my childhood heroes have fallen off or died/Fake tears, we are living fake tears/But the alcohol never lies, never lies"
Doesn't SCREAM Dick Grayson to you too?
Me, in mourning because one of my favourite fanfics has been deleted.
Also me, trying to remember if I downloaded said fanfic.
So, I guess, your reminder to download your faves
Idk Who would be interested in this, but I kinda ended up on a creative roll that, instead of bringing forth the main continuty of my series "Robin's blues", ended up exploring a sliding door aka 'What would have happened if, at the wedding venue (described in the first chapter of "of loving Nightwing (Titans edition)", Roy said the RIGHT thing and Dixie decided to take time for herself and heal instead of going on a self-destructive roll?'
The work would explore much of Wally's, Roy's and Lian's relationships with Dixie and would have two different outcomings.
Like I said before, idk who would be interested in it, but I kinda already wrote a LOT of this what if universe and I am kinda curious of the feedback it may receive

Me, literally giving a character my (very minor) disability in a fanfic I am writing.
Some person on Ao3:" don't talk about things you don't know, girls aren't colorblind".
(Just in much less civil therms, thus I cancelled it).
First of all we are in the DC comic universe, people come back to life every other day, and you are telling me girls can't be color blind.
Second of all, girls can be colorblind or have various types of color deficency, you can trust me and my Tritanopia
Signed: a tired fanfic writer who won the genetic lottery and who has to video-call one of her brothers (who actually won in a non-sarcastic way) every time she is alone at home and she has to properly coordinate her own laudry.
I actually wrote a fanfic centered around cabin 7, in which one of the main characters is Lee Fletcher. I already made a post about it, because the fanfic itself spawned from a tumblr prompt whose author I can't find (the post was on Pinterest and it was cropped).
The fanfic is called "Cabin seven's tango" and it is on Ao3, here is its link!
ALSO ALSO
THERE SHOULD BE MORE FANFICS ABOUT THE SILLY BACKGROUND CHARACTERS
CASTOR, POLLUX, LEE FLETCHER, MICHEAL YEW, ETC ETC!!!!

This piece will eventually be part of my series,

Or maybe it won't, but I felt like it was a waste to scrap it entirely!
It’s not that Bruce doesn’t love his sons.
He does.
Fiercely.
To the point of agony.
To the point of madness.
But they are sons.
They are legacy and reflection and consequence.
Dixie was origin.
Dixie was genesis.
Dixie was the very first moment he knew what it meant to live for someone outside of himself.
The moment that reshaped the architecture of his soul, rerouted the pathways of his cold, calculating heart.
Dixie didn’t make him Batman.
She made him Bruce, in the softest, most staggering ways.
He can explain why the others matter.
Jason needed saving.
Tim needed purpose.
Damian needed undoing.
But Dixie?
Dixie needed nothing from him (except, maybe, understanding, the one thing he was never able to provide her with) and yet she became his everything.
She wasn't the best of them because she was flawless.
She was the best of them because she was HIS.
His In every ugly, broken, radiant piece.
She was never built to be a soldier, even if she learned to fight before she learned to laugh.
She was not meant to carry the burdens she bore, and yet…God, she CHOSE to.
She chose to carry them.
Her brothers.
Their world.
Him.
Always him.
Even when he failed her.
Especially when he failed her.
Bruce knows all of his sons.
He can break them down, read their patterns, identify every fracture in their psyches.
But Dixie? Dixie remained unreadable, unknowable, even being the one he has known for the longest time, even being the one whose bones were shaped just like the ones he has known since before his own birth, his mother's.
She was his daughter in a way the others could never be, not just by blood, not just by name, but in understanding.
She KNEW him.
She knew him in the way a mirror knows its subject.
In the way a grave knows its dead.
None of the boys have ever looked at him the way she did, like she could see every ruin inside him and still believed something beautiful lived there.
Jason rages at him.
Tim studies him.
Damian judges him.
Dixie forgave him (Dixie raged and she studied and she judged too, but in the end she forgave him, she ALWAYS forgave him).
Again.
And again.
And again.
And that was a terrifying, holy thing.
Because forgiveness, real forgiveness, from someone like her…it CHANGES people.
The boys push him.
She grounded him.
The boys rebel.
She resisted.
She defied with love, with laughter, with hands that mended what others destroyed.
She wasn't his soldier (even if he knows she often viewed herself that way).
She was his compass.
He is not a man of poetry, but she made him one in the quiet moments.
Made him remember what lullabies sounded like.
Made him believe in softness.
Made him ache.
And he knows…it’s not that his sons are less.
It’s that Dixie was more.
More Bruce.
More memories.
More mystery.
More herself, in ways that none of them ever dared to be.
His sons always belonged to the world. She always belonged to him, not by ownership, not by right, but by that old, unshakable bond formed in the abyss between his birth and hers, between his grief and her grief, two wounded things clinging to each other like breath.
She was the child he never asked for, the one who became his first everything and the one who saved them all.
How could anyone ever compare to that?
They couldn't.
They never will.
me every time I post something
anyone else start getting shaky when someone gets into an interest of yours or is that just me
I WANT FOR AO3 TO HAVE A FILTER TO TAKE OUT ALL THE FICS I'VE ALREADY READ CUS MAN I'VE READ A LOT
