This will be the last part of the Merventurine series! Thank you everyone for reading this far, genuinely. This series has been real long.

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

Please please please watch how you talk about Jason in regard to eating/food.

I think the rise of Fatson Todd has made people very comfortable with using Jason as a stand-in for fat/weight-shaming and also very weird comments regarding his eating habits or eating habits in general. It was cute in the beginning, but it's started to veer into a very concerning direction. Not to mention, some people are taking it a step further and including his up-bringing to come up with very questionable headcanons.

I know a lot of people don't mean harm, but the way in which people talk about Jason in comparison to other Batfamily members is getting too weird to ignore.

[liedownquisition]

I would also note that Jason esp as Jaybin eating a lot of food would in fact be very incredibly normal. Kids, particularly pubescent ones, already eat a lot more food than the average adult because their body needs the extra calories/nutrients/ect for their growth.

And that's BEFORE accounting for how many calories he needs to keep up his energy for being Robin. ALL Robins should be snackers/often eating high calorie meals.

Remember when joining fandom as a younger person meant lurking for a bit and figuring out the vibe and etiquette instead of coming in on day one and calling people weirdos for liking weirdo shit in the weirdo factory.
