Pros of writing gay relationships: 

- gay

Cons of writing gay relationships:

- they both have THE SAME FCKIN PRONOUNS SO I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO NAME BOTH CHARACTERS BECAUSE OTHERWISE IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL WHO’S DOING WHAT OR WHO’S SPEAKING WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM THIS HELL

I CAN’T BELIEVE THERE’S A POST ABOUT THIS. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.

[berlynn-wohl]

Worst way to deal with this: use epithets (the taller man, the blonde) DO NOT

Best way to deal with this: Use the pronouns a teensy bit more than you maybe feel is sufficient. Leave the fic for two days before editing (i.e. allow yourself to forget it a little). Come back and re-read. If at any point YOU can’t tell who’s doing what to whom, put names in. Leave the rest of the pronouns.

Also, for dialogue: use characterization instead of names. Let it be clear by the things that are said, the way they are said, who is saying them.

Readers are smart, let them infer sometimes. :)

So many people have asked me about this when writing same-sex relationships. I’ve been looking for this post for so long, I hope it helps, darlings!

For all of you slash and femslash writers!

Yes, yes, yes! Please follow the good advice, PLEASE I beg you don’t do “the blonde man”, “the older man”, “the brunette”, “the Russian man”, ““the long-haired woman” and so on please don’t 😩🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

As to why epithets are a no go, we notice the other person being “taller”, “blonde” etc at the first meeting. Afterwards, we think of them either by their name, or title (depending on situation).

And then you have a fanfic of childhood friends, where one is referred to as “taller” and the other as “younger”.

People are not consciously thinking of these things when they are childhood friends, and because of this, it’s very unnatural and takes too much attention from the reader.

To be fair, Tim figured it out when he was, like, ten years old. Janet Drake had been a social climber through and through, so the way she always avoided their most famous neighbor had confused him as a kid. That is, until the first time he actually saw the man. - The one where Tim is Bruce’s biological son. 

I had a lot of fun with the @batfam-big-bang this year! Here’s a fic I’ve been thinking about for about a year and I’m really excited to post. Special thanks to my betas @anicomicqueen and @firebirds and my artists @butterflyslinky and @kikathemighty. Go give them some love.

[IMAGE ID: There are two panels on a black background separated by a line that bisects the page from upper right of center to lower left of center. Panel one is a close up of Bruce Wayne's face, looking off slightly to the left side of the page, with a phone held up to his right ear. A speech bubble to the right that read, "You know." Panel two is a close up of Tim Drake's smirking face, looking off slightly to the right of the page, with a phone held up to his left ear. A speech bubble to the left read, "You didn't?" The artists signature, "KIKA 2020," is visible in black on the left shoulder of Tim's red shirt. END ID]

TOP IMAGE ID: Tim Drake and Cassandra Cain are sitting at a table together. Cass is sitting cross-legged in the booth, wearing a dark halter and eating strawberries. Tim is to her left, watching her eat, his hands cradling a mug. Cass is wearing a dark halter top while Tim is in a loose black t-shirt and black jeans. The image is mostly in gray tones, though there is a soft orange light coming from a window behind Tim, and both Tim's mug and Cass' strawberries are a deep red. END ID

BOTTOM IMAGE ID: Tim Drake and Conner Kent are sitting together in a car. They have a blanket thrown across their laps, which is littered with multicolored glow sticks. Kon is in a dark t-shirt and leather jacket while Tim wears a button-up beneath a sweater, the collar showing from beneath. The image is mostly dark, done in gray tones, with a soft lighting coming from above where the camera would be and from the colorful glowsticks in their laps. Kon is holding three glowsticks in one hand and has two wrapped as bracelets around his other wrist, which Tim is holding. Kon is looking at Tim as Tim presses a kiss to the back of Kon's hand. END ID

How do people write fanfiction in English when it’s not their first language? I mean seriously. I’m trying to get a comic script done, so it should be an easier job liguistically speaking but it’s

so

not

working.

So he managed to get himself a whole new suit (of questionable quality) but not get a shower? Is it just him or is the whole lot of them a stinky bunch of kids now?

Justice League member: So, how did you and Superman get together?

Batman: He texted me “your cute”

Batman: and I replied “no, YOU’RE cute”

Batman: and now we’re dating

Batman: all I did was point out his grammar mistake.

Clark, the journalist, was that an intentional move?
