I have recently been in a bit of a reading slump where I will read, and it will be an excellent book. Yet, it just does not hit right, and I am left disappointed.
Can anyone recommend a book that will get me out of my slump, please? Thank you! I am looking for a book that will just leave me smiling like an idiot and swinging my feet in excitement. I would prefer fantasy with back round romance that is still there and delightful, but in a way, the characters still have personality and do not revolve around their partners. If possible, I would like them to have moments that are so wholesome and leave me wishing for someone who would treat me like they do their partner.
If anyone could recommend me a book like this or similar, I would be so grateful. Thank you!
Okay, so we all know that Bruce isn't the warmest or fuzziest guy around, but I would like a Maribat where Marinette is like his adopted daughter or something (I will leave it up to you to decide), but he is absolutely protective of her and will do anything to protect from anything (aliens, bad guys, or broken hearts (you name it, he has a contingency plan to protect her from it)). But, anyway, Marinette is bringing her boyfriend/significant other to the Manor to meet Bruce. I don't know who the boyfriend is. It could be Kon, Roy, or someone else, but I imagine that he has a reputation as a bad boy/heartbreaker/player. Anyway, Bruce is wary of him because he doesn't want Marinette's heart to be broken. In order to do this, he 'tests' the boyfriend at dinner without Marinette knowing. At the end of dinner, Marinette excuses herself to help Alfred out because she thinks he overworks himself and needs a break. While she is doing that, Bruce looks at the boy and says something along the lines of, "If you hurt her, your remains will be so obliterated that Superman himself won't be able to identify them." He then goes on to explain, in detail, how he would achieve this morbid plan. The boy in question is pale and shaky, but he does not waver in his determination to be the best he can for Marinette and prove his worth to Bruce. Marinette comes back in and seeing her boyfriend, asks what happened. Bruce says he aproves of the boy, and they have his permission to get married. Marinette turns bright red as she hadn't thought of marriage yet. Bruce turns to the boy and reminds him that he still has to get approval from the batkids (and I think it would be funny if some of the JL considers Marinette too 'pure' for this world and also would do anything to protect her). The boy turns pale, but Marinette laughs it off, thinking it is a joke. I think this could end in a sort of epilogue of them getting married, and Bruce sharing this story of them.
I really hope this gets written. If people can recommend some fics similar, I would be very thankful.
My family and I realized something today. My younger brother is a tick magnet. Yes, you read that right. He is a tick magnet. I am not saying he isn't also a chick magnet, but he obviously attracts more ticks than chicks. We went hiking yesterday and then he found a tick on his body today. We went somewhere that there should not have been any ticks and when we came out of this place, there was yet another tick on him.
I learned something today. It was that apparently snakes aren't considered reptiles! I thought this was very strange and factually incorrect. The story on how I learned this is simple. I went up to a zoologist and asked him a question. I asked him if snakes were considered a reptile and he said no. He. Said. No. I no longer have any faith in the world. I asked him this question because I saw a sign that said that they weren't reptiles and that they were in their own category. The animal kingdoms are amphibians, mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, fish, and snakes. I am now questioning my sanity. Thank you for coming to my rant.
I used to love adrienette, bit know I cannot stand. Nothing against anybody. I just realized how unrealistic it is and how perfect it would be. I personally like drama and character growth which does not normally appear in adrienette. I have totally jumped off the band wagon with this. Even with peternette (Peter Parker x Marinette), there is drama and sort of that weird anticipation. I don't really know how to explain it, but even though Peter is a total cinammion (cinammon?) roll, we see the struggles he goes through with bullying, superhero responsibilities, and everything else. Even with all of these weighing him down, he is still an awesome hero. However, I mean no disrespect to Chat Noir. I just believe that he is a little bit goofy and immature when it comes to being a hero at times. He has definitely gotten better. Okay, if we are being honest, I love seeing Marinette being, pardon my language, badass. She is depicted as helpless damsel in a lot of adrienette fic (I am not saying all, but I have seen a lot) and I don't really think she is. She is an independent women who is smart, resourceful, and doesn't need any boy or person to save her.
Please don't hate. These are just my personal opinions. I am not trying to force them on anybody.
If you see any grammar errors, please tell me. I always am looking for ways to improve.
Why has there not been a crossover of these two yet? Harry Potter and friends would be an epic addition to the Midnight Society. They would have so many stories to tell about their adventures. These tales would be thrilling and bone-chilling, both which are requirements. Also with the amount of shennagians they get into, they would be perfect together. Hanna and Hermione are both really intense. For Hanna, it is about the enviroment. For Hermione, it is about House Elves. Hanna, Hermione, and Gabby are all really smart. Ron and Jai are both nerds about things. For Jai, it is comic books. For Ron, it is chess. They both pretend/believe they are cooler than they are. Luke, Connor, and Harry are all natural leaders who get into the most dangerous of situations.
Someone please write this. Bonus points if you make Harry a girl. Extra bonus points is make Harry pair up with Luke, Connor, or both!
So we, the people who enjoy Maribat, should have a name for ourselves so we can be like a cult or.... maybe a bookclub (fanfictionclub?) if we don't have one already. Maybe Maribatians or... honestly have no good ideas for names. It is because I just want to name everything Steve and be done with it. If anyone has any good ideas, please tell me.
"What? A villain in Paris?" Bruce asked. He frowned. "Why is she hiding it?"
"I'm hoping that the previous letters will reveal that." Tim answered. Damian stared between the two before heading to his room. He came back quickly looking at them.
Lost and Found by @soulmate-game
This doesn't actually have a title
“Is that a kid?”
“Yep,” Batman’s grin grew.
“Is she… stealing my tires?” Hood was so, so glad he wore a helmet that hid his expression. Because… wow.
“Yep,” Batman finally lost his composure, chuckling. “This seems like Karma, don’t you think?”
De-Aged by @timinette-is-best
“How is there a fairy in the Pixie’s pocket?”
He asked jokingly while swinging the hands back and forth!
“Lookin lookie! It’s a Ladybug fairy! She’s so pwetty.”
Marinette held Tikki in both of her hands and jumped up and down trying to get him to look. Jason chuckled and looked down at the toy. It was cute, he had never seen something like it before. Then it blinked, and flew out of Marinette’s hand, and oh gosh, IT CAN TALK?!
Innocence, avoidance by @consumeconstantly
To be more precise, he’s hoping that she’s simply avoiding his detection, and hasn’t gotten swept up in something bad.
It takes Jason three hours-- three hours-- to find the girl who can’t be much older than ten. Probably not even ten, judging by her size.
“You’re lucky it’s me finding you, and not someone else, Pixie.” He finally catches a glance of her glaringly sparkly backpack, complete with fairies and unicorns covered in some sort of holographic overlay.
The New Adoptee by @purple-goo-writes , @mochegato & @thepacifistavenger
This doesn't actually have a title
Alfred will tell him. Alfred knows everything.
“Master Bruce, I’m shocked at you. Surely you know your most recent adoptee’s name?”
Adoptee?! When–? How??
There’s a light tap just below his right shoulder blade–she really is a tiny slip of a thing–and he turns to meet her wide-eyed, innocent, sapphire gaze. Oh, no. Did she learn this look from Jason? Or is it her own and that’s how it is that she fits in so well with the rest?
Okay. I don't know if someone has already done this, but get this.
Pepper Potts and Lily Evans are the same people just in different stories. They both have to put up with the ridiculous of their significant other. They are both queens. They both are one with the "pants" in the relationship. They both have red hair and green eyes (or at least I believe Pepper has green eyes, please correct me if I am wrong).
Same with James 'Prongs' Potter and Anthony 'Tony' Stark. They are the same person. They are both playboys until they meet someone who makes them fall hard and fast. They both are very loyal. They both get into shennagins to impress their crushes. They are both geniuses (is that the correct plural form? Geni) in their own way. (James is a master of transfiguration/pranks/just really smart and Tony is, well, Tony Stark, need I go on?) They look alike. Both have messy hair, hazel eyes, wear glasses, and muscular in a leaner way. These two also like messing with the stuffy rich people in their societies.
So imagine if they were the same people, but Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are their 'secret' identity in the muggle world.
They would get along great. With the things that Marinette has been through in Paris and the things Constantine has been through they would get along great. They would bond and everyone would be really surprised because she is a literal ray of sunshine (even with everything) and he is, well, Constantine. They would be best friends and Constantine would definetly be in love with her. It is because she is his type like she is a badass magic lady with blue eyes and black hair. She would be in love with him because
Oh, he is a green eyed blonde boy who is quite the flirt. Like to put himself down. Perfect!
But they would deny it for the longest amount of time because they wouldn't think the other one liked them. They wouldn't confess until they were drunk (Constantine) or they were put into a life or death situation.
If they had drunkenly confessed, one of them would remember it, but the other would not. So the next day, when they were both sober, the one who remembers, not knowing the other doesn't remember, would refrence it and the other would have no idea what they are talking about. The one who remembers would blush and look away. Then deny everything when asked what is wrong. Life would go on about as normal. There are a few options here.
Option 1 is then a few weeks later, the one who remembers gets wasted and admits that the one who doesn't remember confessed and that they return the feelings. When they are sober, they both remember and can't deny it so they both admit it. They start to date.
Option 2: The one who doesn't remember accidentally drinks a potion or does a magic spell that backfires and makes them remember everything they have said or done while drunk. They now remember the love confession and remember that the one who remembers was acting weird around them after the confession. This makes them realize that they remember the confession and must think they are a total a$$hole. They confess everything and they start dating.
There are a few more options, but this is about it. There might be ideas like this, but rest assured I thought this up. I do not think there are enough Constantine x Marinette. I will take recommendations for the pair, please.
What if Marinette was Black Canary's apprentice? I think it would do wonders for Marinette's self-esteem and self-worth. They would work really well together because Black Canary would listen to her. I also feel like Black Canary would be like
Oh, you don't have a boyfriend and are single. Your type is green eyes. You should meet my son! He is currently single. His name is Roy Harper or Arsenal.
And try to set them up. She would be the total matchmaker of Roynette. She would 100% get Oliver to play Cupid. Just imagine it.
Fuck I’m at a fencing tournament and literally a minute after I reblogged this my dad told me that he talked to the point people and I’m probably going to win a medal.
I need to follow up to say I reblogged this last night, and this morning I got some of the best news of my life, like, a life dream come true news thing.
FUCK, I though it was just another lucky meme but LISTEN. Since a week ago I was waiting a phone call to confirm me if I got a job or not in my university. I reblogged this yesterday’s night “just for fun and because I don’t want any bagel to be mad with me”, and today’s afternoon, while I was losing my time as always, the professor I was supposed to work with called me and asked me for my personal information to start working with her.
