V. Ken Marion, the great artist you are
Probably my favorite current comic artist.
To YOU it’s bad writing. To ME it’s a very nuanced piece of work that explores subtle intricacies without outright saying it. And also it’s bad writing
Things I find interesting about my fandom in 2025:
(I've been in the DC fandom since 2009)
people who have ignored the last 14 years of continuity still uncomfortably cohabitating with people who have only read the new continuity, and both sides not really understanding each other. Both groups trying to figure out how to handle the no continuity at all group. All of us trying to use the same tags while we write/read about characters that sometimes only share names with each other.
The short memory of fandom. The VAST majority of the fics that get submitted to my rec blog are from 2021 or later. At least a quarter are from 2025. We don't seem to be circulating classics, anymore, which is very different from the culture a decade ago!
the loose group of Batkid gen hurt/comfort writers who are out there mostly remixing each other's works. Every once in a while, they add a new plot into the ecosystem. Vastly different ratings, sometimes, but very similar tones. It's just SUCH a different environment from the rest of the fandom! I really enjoy them. and the sense of community they seem to have.
how social-media AU writers ALSO seem to form a loose group, and build off of each other, rather than canon. The epistolary format seems like it would appeal to a much broader range of creators, and I find it really interesting that the reality is so different.
the vast, polarized camps of the NO BATCEST fans and the JayTim fans. The vicious and mean-spirited battles they engage in. How I can be enjoying a story, and suddenly hit an authour's note telling me I'm a gross freak, and then I go on to the next chapter and ... there was no reason for the note? The plot is about nothing even closely related? Baffling.
The continued evolution of fanon Jason Todds. He's become so many fascinating characters, and I really enjoy watching it happen. Canon gave us so much junk, and fans have sifted multiple different precious metals from it!
The incredibly strong opinions about Slade Wilson. Readership just DIVES when he shows up in a recced fic! I find it really funny.

The fandom feels a lot more lively than it did in, say, 2019. There are pockets of beautiful stuff happening. I'm noticing a greater variety of characterization, which I really appreciate.
But I'm putting in more effort to avoid toxicity. I'm still MOSTLY keeping my dash from from people outright attacking each other, but I keep finding people who do it casually, just as a part of the fandom experience.
I enjoy being a DC fan. I don't think we're a HEALTHY fandom, right now, but I think we could be. I think there's a lot of good here.
Also that one I think is less intentionally patronising and perhaps closer to a pet peeve but i hate hate hate "I need people to understand" formulation at the beginning of meta posts so much. Like even in contexts when I agree it makes me scrunch my nose like oh yeah sure. It feels one step removed from 'i don't understand how people can miss something so evident but I'll dumb it down so you people get it once and for all" which I don't think is a message you should be sending people over things that literally don't matter. Also you look ridiculous if you're wrong.

in honor of my second anniversary of joining the tumblr bat fandom i present to you this chart describing my observations (this is slash j, i tried to make it humorous and as even as possible)
S-s-s-search button is back!!!!!
I miss inkers in comics.
Sorry for enjoying comics
you want to know how robin jason was like? you want to know how dick robin was like? then read the comics were they appear. don't expect anyone to tell you how they were.
happy robin, angry robin is pure bullshit, they were both, they were neither, they were (a little more!) complex than that. you wanna get the nuances? read those comics and interpret them yourself

Black Label's Oracle miniseries, I dream about you.
I need a 150k fic of Jason and Bruce antagonizing each other.
Every day I wake up knowing I'll never be Dick Grayson in the 70s and die a little bit inside
