Every Once In A While I Get Discouraged About My Fan Fictions Because I Have Way More Reads Than Kudos

Every once in a while I get discouraged about my fan fictions because I have way more reads than kudos then I’ll go through my ao3 history and see that I have read a fic over 150 times and think to myself that maybe just maybe there’s a person that likes my work enough to reread it.

favorite thing when i start reading a book and immediately clock the author as a fanfic writer

Batfam fic idea

Jason mysteriously dies at the hands of some random criminal. But Jason prepared this time and in his will states that if he is murdered they have to avenge his death by killing his murderer. The rest of the family reluctantly accepts this and goes after the poor guy. Who is now being talked about as if he was Jason’s greatest enemy and the battle they fought was an intense emotional fight. Then when confronting the guy he says something like “he wouldn’t want you to do this.”

The batfam just stare at him in confusion and say “have you ever even met him?”

Long story short they kill him. Then a week later Jason shows back up and everyone like “you’re alive!? What happened?”

Jason admits that he had meaning to take a break for a while. Due to feeling burnt out and when he got beat by that complete nobody it was his sign to take a vacation. He left a message with Damian who wasn’t listening to him and forgot completely about the call. Hence why when the rumours of his death came and no one could get a hold of him they just assumed that he was dead.

One thing ao3 has done to me is make me really critical of library archives. Like I try to do research in my university library archives and I end up sitting there like “your tagging system sucks.”

You know how before Jason died he had started to get kind of violent and Bruce started to feel like he wasn’t being a good enough parent.

Will I’ve been thinking about it for awhile now as I reflect on my experience with healing and trauma. Even though I’m not proud of it for time when I would end up in situations like the one that traumatized me I would get angry and respond in a kind of violent way. But that’s just part of my healing journey and feel that it was probably part of Jason too.

When Jason was with living Bruce Jason’s brain felt safe enough to process the emotions that it hadn’t because of the traumatic circumstances. So when he started to become violent it was just an unfortunate side effect of his processing of these feelings and a sign that he was healing. Bruce and Alfred take these as signs that they were not doing enough for Jason. When in reality it was a sign that were helping Jason heal.

Do you ever think Hannibal was happy when everyone found out he was a cannibal because they could finally understand his cannibalism jokes and understand what a comedic genius he is
