I'm probably going to piss someone off with this but

As great as the independent boss bitch trope in female oriented isekai stories are, I want a female lead that is a line away from crumpling over and sobbing violently. I want a female isekai protagonist who fought tooth and nail for the life she had back home and sure as hell won’t leave it behind. I want her to reject the identity of the person who originally had the body she now possess only using said identity as a mask of convenience to avoid questions from the other characters. I want her to be high strung and desperately trying to find a way back to her home and loved ones. I want a female lead who fucks up and feels guilty about it, because no matter how sad and unfair her backstory is, its her responsibility now not to spread the pain. I want a female lead who will go through hell and highwater for the people she loves. A female lead who knows what she's doing probably will get her killed but does it anyway because like hell she’s just going to sit idly by. I want a female lead to have a pained exasperated laugh instead of a cute one because of all the shit she’s been through. And I want the other characters to notice.  I want the other characters to at first brush off the female lead's new odd tendencies until she does something so out of character to the person she used to be that they can’t keep ignoring it. After that the other characters begin to notice just how different she is, old mannerisms and habits have suddenly disappeared and were replaced with new ones. I want them to notice how she mumbles about the “New face” as she passes by mirrors. I want them to notice the way she acts to feel almost scripted like she is pretending to be someone else. And I want the male lead to end up her friend and stay just friends because I want more male and female friendships that don’t end up in a romantic relationship. I want all the other characters to have their own agencies and ambitions completely unrelated to the female lead. I want to see the people who care about the female lead back in the female lead's home world do everything in their power to find her and get her back! I want the female lead to do reckless things like try to brush off a small stab wound or jump head first into a creepy magical cave  because she has barely any self preservation and would rather die than not go home. I want a female lead who has to actively work for things in the plot and not have it deus ex machinaed into her lap.  I want a female lead in an isekai story to be a hot mess who wants to go home back to her lover who is equally as much of a chaotic hot mess as her, both of them fighting for each other in their own ways. 

Anyway thanks for reading my rant that will probably piss off a bunch of booktok girls but as a fellow girl who likes to read I want this in my stories, my opinion is completely subjective and biased you are free to disagree with it but this is what I want. 

chrissy on vigil by max’s bedside. 

switching between rubbing the blood back into max’s fingers, putting lotion on max’s hands, brushing max’s hair, and taking stock of her own still bruised limbs.

sitting by lucas while he’s reading to max and taking over when lucas has to leave or gets tired. 

asking lucas (and whoever else is willing) to tell stories about max so no one even gets close to forgetting what max was like alive and well. 

chrissy telling dustin she’s noticed his hat collection for a while and likes all of them. being fascinated by dustin’s fascination with radios. 

chrissy asking erica with genuine interest how she got into d&d, immediately getting more curious when she learns about figure painting and dice towers and homemade maps and dioramas. erica is no cliché and she has too many facets to ever be boring.

chrissy finding out nancy knows a thing or two about guns and with great trepidation asking if nancy will show her what she knows. saying she needs to read the school paper more. promising nancy she’s got the clear head and the clear eyes to see what’s happening in the world and call it out truthfully. admiring nancy’s dedication to not being just some girl. 

going to family video and getting into an almost heated discussion with robin over the ranking of brat pack movies before deciding st. elmo’s fire is superior. or maybe it’s the outsiders. is it the outsiders? probably. steve is making cartoon blinking noises.

chrissy being endlessly amused and in awe of robin, her solid sense of self. soon showing up to band concerts with a single pompom to wave in silence as a show of support.

something about will drawing chrissy in, even if he’s near silent, until she pulls him aside and asks what he’s feeling, if it’s anything like what she felt. getting to sit down together and explain all the leftover fear and dread to someone who might actually understand how heavy and how inevitable it feels. 

chrissy teaching max leg strengthening exercises.

driving to max’s house and either existing in post-vecna silence from the pain of living through it or doggedly pushing through and either cussing at their bodies’ weaknesses together or chrissy taking max’s hand and urging them both across the yard to the clothesline and back, then to the dog and back. and then to eddie’s house and back. 

chrissy asking eddie if there’s anything that can be done about his uncle’s trailer.

bringing wayne a new mug and flowers, desperately sorry he had to see her twisted the way she had been on his floor. 

every time she goes to see eddie bringing a hat or a mug for his uncle.

chrissy trying to ask what everyone’s favorite song is, but when it gets too hard to say and stings to remember, she asks about favorite albums. 

going to record stores and digging through bargain bins and whatever she can find that makes her think of the hawkins heroes. 

chrissy going to the picnic table clearing with a trash bag and determinedly cleaning up the tiny little space as if it will somehow cleanse it. 

chrissy being benched from cheer but still showing up to every game, now able to cheer for her squad even more than simply the players on the court. the girls become much less than just simple squad-mates and much more like friends.

chrissy telling mike and will she’s admired how close their friendship has been over the years. 

chrissy asking all four of the freshman boys how long they’ve liked d&d and what got them started. 

just once getting to have a conversation with argyle and hanging on every word that comes out of his mouth with a huge smile on her face, completely entranced and entertained. 

chrissy visiting fred and patrick’s graves to clean and decorate them. she didn’t know fred but from a distance and knew patrick on a friendly surface level, but she knows the horrors they experienced before they died. that’s enough. 

chrissy going to the hideout on tuesdays, not just to see eddie play, but to see corroded coffin. to hear the band members eddie is so proud of playing their hearts out. to actually learn their names and talk to them all and get to know them. she doesn’t scream or whoop or holler during their set but remembers particularly sharp riffs and rhythms to compliment later. asking about song names and lyrics and inspirations.

chrissy telling all of her female friends daily that they’re beautiful, slowly, eventually abandoning references to appearance altogether and telling them they’re amazing and smart or clever instead. what she might have liked to hear, unladen with subtext. 

the party having lunch picnics on the school lawn. 

creating summer game plans together and apart.

library dates.

desperately trying to reclaim any sense of normalcy within hawkins. 

I kinda wanna see a 101 dalmatian sequel set in the modern day and the youngest De Vil , Damien De Vil is a furry, none of the family really cares until they find out his plan to make his Fursuit out of puppies. NOW they are really on board, with relatives coming out of the woodwork to help. Comfort? Auntie Crista De Vil was a school mascot. design? Sheepgoat trainer Soul De Vil the 2nd makes handmade outfits and has been waiting for the opportunity to use puppies. I would list more but I don't wanna think of more De Vil names.

Anyways. The De Vil family is very much a dysfunctional family and they don't really talk to each other, but once you start with animal cruelty they become the epitome of a family unit.

Придумываю сюжетную линию и так вот, мне нужна ваша небольшая помощь. Как думаете если бы после революции в Детройте появилась бы музыкальная группа людей и андроидов вместе (в честь сосуществования и новых прав андроидов) то:

Anti-villain motivations besides "tragic past"

They do bad things because they’re scared.

They’re gullible or misinformed. Example: somebody who has been told the heroes are out to hurt them.

They are desperate for interaction, validation, kindness, or attention, and the dark side gives them those things. 

They want to change their allegiance, but are pressured by people close to them to stay evil.

They have an otherwise noble goal that they will do literally anything to achieve. Example: somebody who wants to protect their child, even if it means throwing other children into danger.

I made an acc for fic/art ideas if anyone’s interested! Just thought I’d post here just incase. It’s @hare-brained-schemes

hal jordan partaking in underground boxing is a farfetched idea with many possible outcomes

like this green lantern fellow boxes without the use of his ring and beats some people up (and [maybe] apologizes for beating the people up). 

maybe hal got into underground boxing after he saw his family starting to hate him. maybe he wants to take his frustration, pain and sorrow onto a punching bag (or worse, a person). maybe he just wanted to get away from his family or life, get the adrenaline rush or something. 

eventually, batman does some research, finds out and confronts hal because of the implications (underground boxing is illegal in most countries if there isn’t certified staff). obviously, hal gets pissed. then he asks him how he knows because its something thats been with him in his entire life, it didn’t leave him like his family. hal doesn’t want it to leave like they did.

maybe theres more idk this is all i have

Imagine your OTP

AU where the court stenographer writes Steel Samurai fanfic and one time when listening to Narumitsu yell innuendos at each other during court, they get inspiration for their Magisteel fic.

Whilst this would normally go completely unnoticed, the fact that the Chief Prosecutor is a huge Steel Samurai nerd means that he notices when things he’s said in court start being quoted by the Evil Magistrate in the fic he’s reading…

Interviewer to Hal Jordan: So what’s it like to marry someone way, way WAY out of your league?

Bruce Wayne grabbing the mic: Amazing. I never thought I would ever be this happy.

I legit can’t wait for Billy to face a powerful deity and act casual with them like he just met a long lost friend from highschool. 

Or reunited with his online friend who didn’t play Minecraft for a couple of years (even though the friend was like: “I’ll see you tomorrow” and never went back online). 

idk. The thought of Billy Batson casually interacting with powerful beings of the universe is something I want to write but can’t. 

~also~

1. “Sup, wanna play minecraft?” 

“Champion of magic, what the f u c k”

2. “...thats why the universe is a large soup for the gods” 

“... what the fuck?”

idk even know what this is i just found this in my draft at 4 am

another crack(ish) prompt but do you think that billy would solve things peacefully/casually??? ppl expect him to be flashy or punch a lot because of his personality, powers or something but NOPE

like think about it

-he’s having a fight with a villain and he just wants to talk instead of fight

-a god/dess shows up, wanting to destroy something/the world and billy’s like: “sup, want some burgers?” 

-“what are burgers?” (cue the JL, billy and the deity eating burgers in mcdonalds)

-another take on the burgers one: “do you want burgers?” “champion of magic, what the fuck” 

-*villian goes on a rant about how their life sucked* 

billy: do you need a hug,,, wanna get a milkshake,,,,

I really love the idea of captain marvel being like really fucking shady

Imange with me

"I know a guy"

Knows how to pick locks

Yeah for blood you've got to do peroxide and cold water and scrub harder

*the league is talking about a crime boss his image is shown marvel is late* hey I know that guy!

Can relate to criminals

Still has the sunny boyscout attitude somehow

When overhearing a conversation about weapons and their pros and cons marvel causally drops the fact that he favors a switchblade

Flash and green lantern are talking a show most likely the office they ask captain marvel if hes seen it

"Oh no I dont have a tv sorry"

In the end half the league thinks hes a really polite mafia boss

crack au where hal has to babysit the cosmic parasite that’s obsessed with him, it’s awful and everyone is very tired

Prompt 151

“What, is sleep resistance part of your powers too?”

“No, but chugging energy drinks is,” replied Hero, chugging their 23rd can of Monster Energy without breaking eye contact.

John: let me see what you have!

Billy: A knife! ( Turn his attention to a demon or something)

John: Good, aim for the stomach

Billy: (covered in blood) That was fun.

John: (also covered in blood) You did good, I say this calls for ice cream

(Cut to Billy and John eating ice cream, while a horrified shopkeeper watches)

So I've been reading a lot of shazam fanfiction lately, you know. As you do. And I noticed something.

Every time I read a "billy is batman's son" fic billy always goes along willingly. And it strikes me as off. Like this is a kid who has lived on the streets since he was like 6. He also has magic and in some iterations his civilian identity is friends with people like john constantine. He is also a superhero working with the justice league and he takes his responsibilities to his city very seriously.

What I'm saying is that the second billy realized that bruce planned to make him leave fawcett city billy would run like a Batman out of hell. The kid would just nope on out of there first chance he got.

I wanna see a fic where billy has some agency! Where billy says no! I don't care who you are or how much money you have, I'm not leaving my city! And then sticking too that. Batman would be on a wild chase around fawcett city looking for his son. Billy would be outsmarting batman via magic and street smarts. All the while neither knows the others identity. Can you tell me how GOOD a fic like that would be?

here are a few things that could help if you’re looking to get into comics because it’s very confusing at first (and every moment after)

the dcu guide lists characters’ appearances in chronological order

comicvine lists every appearance of a character

comicstorian is a youtube channel that summarizes comic arcs/character origins in short, easy to understand videos

lornahs has a lot of good character reading lists, dc & marvel

comic book reading orders has reading orders for almost all events & characters, dc & marvel

r/DCcomics’ wiki has a large recommended reading page & a newbies section for people looking to start reading for the first time

comic book herald has a list of reading guides as well as a where to start with current dc & a beginner’s guide to comics

the dc database has a recommended reading section

comics back issues has a list of reading orders as well as their guide to comics for new readers

and if you’re looking to get into lanterns, be sure to give my own, comparatively puny rec page a look!

good luck!

Jason: Take me to art museums and make out with me.

Roy: But they said not to touch the masterpieces.

Jason: Well somebody's gotta pin the artwork to the wall.

Dick, into a walkie-talkie: This is Grayson, those idiots are fucking in the East wing again.

Tell me why my dumbass thought the GL oath actually was "from my shoulder to my wrist, look out evil, it's my fist"

Please I would like more billy spilling tea.(also this batkid au is so fun you are amazing)

YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND

(Thank you! I've had this idea for a while so I'm very excited to be able to yell about it!)

Prompt 172

Person A and Person B are meme trash/ broke college students so what they do for Christmas is give each other a box and recite that whole line from Spongebob where they’re like “I couldn’t afford to get you anything this year so I got you this box”. Their friends cringe in pity.

Person A is T-Posing.

Person B is aggressively doing the macarena.

Person C is cycling through some Fortnite dances.

Person D is wearing the exact same clothes and is in the exact same pose as the “You know I had to do it to em” guy.

Meanwhile tired parent/parent friend Person E is suffering as they lie on the ground being surrounded by these idiots.

*On an off world mission*

Hal: *Winks* Let’s get astronaughty

Bruce: Seriously?

Hal: Honestly, the only reason I became an intergalactic space cop was to say that

Green Lantern: What if we kissed 😳 in your self-driving Batmobile 🤔 haha jk 😎 unless??? 👉👈

Batman: How did you say those emojis out loud?

do you think heroes/villains who wear a mask have to sometimes. repeat themselves because their enemy or whoever else didn't understand them. like imagine being held hostage by idk Black Mask and he's saying something super threatening to you and you have to be like

"...HUH?"

bro please that'd be so embarrassing for them 😭

man, just realized

black mask is technically a personified oreo in the comics because he (mostly, not all the time) wears an oreo-coloured suit. oh my god.

like imagine, one of the in-law batfamily members get kidnapped by him/his goons and the member is like: “ok disfigured oreo” when mask finishes his threat.
