I’m sad so I decided to make a meme for Bad Puppy

[scooter3scooterr]

I suppose the silver lining with having a rough visit with my Mom is that now I have more writing inspiration

[scooter3scooterr]

I wish I had the energy to write a Batfam omegaverse AU set in the A Quiet Place sort of apocalypse. I love the idea of them needing to depend on their pheromones to communicate with each other when even a purr could risk being too loud. I love the thought of Bruce being put into a world where the only people left to save are his own kids.

[scooter3scooterr]

I will not be updating Woundedly today, but my hope is to try to post an extra long chapter next weekend 🩷

For the first time in Tim’s life, he is not outnumbered.

Before, it was always Tim’s parents versus him. Two versus one, always.

But now, he has all of the Waynes on his side. Even though he’s still terribly afraid of Bruce and Alfred, he still has Dick and Jason. No matter how scared he is of the grown-ups, he always has at least two people on his side. As far as Tim understands, it is three versus two with the Waynes, and somehow he is in the majority.

Tim doesn’t have to do it alone anymore. He has other people fighting for him now.

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

are you planning on adding kon into the bad puppy series?

Yes! I plan to add Kon later down the timeline :)

Eventually I’ll do some time skips so we can jump to “the good stuff” lol

I think I’ll introduce Kon when Tim is 13 or 14!

Thank you for the ask 🩷🩷🩷

I now can't stop associating Tim with teddy bears

Aw yesss!!

I’m the same way honestly. When starting Bad Puppy it hadn’t been my original intention for Tim to be obsessed with teddy bears but it just happened naturally. Now I’ve become so much more fond of teddy bears because of him :)

That shirt is soooo cute I love!!

I don’t think you guys will be surprised to find out that every single time I get my music recap from YouTube, my top mood is Sad. I do this to myself every fucking time

[scooter3scooterr]

I believe this shall be the summary for chapter 15 of Woundedly. It’s still in the works, but I’m making good progress 🩷

[scooter3scooterr]

okay so I know bad puppy is and will always be about Tim's journey but there's something so funny about the mental image of Wally listening to Dick vent & thinking 'man I love Dick and hope everything works out but thank god I don't have any younger siblings to worry about' only for this random bug-eyed kid to show up a few years later and go "hi! I'm like basically your long lost cousin from the future :D"

Oh my god I loveeee Bart that’s so good!! I would really love to get far enough into the timeline to introduce Bart into Bad Puppy, it would be so fun :)

Wally is truly trying his best to be there for Dick and to understand him, but he just doesn’t get what it’s like to have younger siblings who look up to him and depend on him.

And then like a month after Bart shows up Wally calls Dick and he’s like “Dude, you didn’t tell me it would be like this.”

And Dick laughs and he’s like, “Well I sure tried to.”

Thank you for the ask, this made me smile :)

hii! i wanted to ask something i’ve been thinking about more and more as i read woundedly. while it is ultimately a fic about comfort, and love, it does deal with some heavy and difficult feelings and themes. so i wanted to ask what the writing process is like for you? and do you ever find it difficult emotionally or mentally? it’s just, i really think it’s amazing how consistently and frequently you update, because i’d imagine it is somewhat difficult to write about tim in the mental space he is in now, especially since you’ve shared that you take inspiration from your own experiences.

i don’t mean to pry too much, if this makes you uncomfortable please feel free to not answer. hope you have a great day/night! <3

Typically, the series is actually really cathartic for me to write. I base the vast majority of Tim’s thought processes off of the way I was as a child, so it comes very naturally to me to write. It’s not hard for me to try to get into his mindset, so it helps me be able to write relatively quickly most of the time.

I have been attending weekly therapy for the last six years as well as having more intensive mental health treatment over some periods of time, so at this point my threshold for talking about my trauma is a lot lower than people expect. After talking about it so much over the years, it’s gotten a lot easier for me to talk about my childhood experiences, so it’s not nearly as hard for me to write my Bad Puppy series as people might expect. A few years ago I would not have been able to write this series, but I’m in a much better place now than I was. I’ve had to rehash the same trauma over and over again with different therapists that at this point, it doesn’t affect me so much to talk or write about it.

There was a period of time that I was really struggling mentally to write Woundedly because I was also going through a lot in my personal life and I just couldn’t handle so much angst on angst, which is actually why I wrote my Snuggle Bat series. I needed to write something soft and comforting so that I’d have something else to think about other than whump and hurt. I don’t know if I’ll continue my Snuggle Bat series, but it does help me to know it’s there if I ever wanna write tooth-rotting fluff.

Writing angst is definitely my comfort zone. It comes to be a lot easier than writing anything else. I wouldn’t say that I'm good at writing fluff, but I want to be. I really gotta practice it more.

On a good writing week I try to have the first draft of my chapters done by Thursday nights, at least 5k words, and then I have the weekend to edit and post. I’ve been busier than normal these last couple weeks, but I’m hoping to get my writing schedule back on track by the end of the month.

This series is so incredibly important to me, and as much angst as there is, the core of it is definitely about love, healing, and chosen family. I might not have gotten a new loving family, but Tim will. It’s been so cathartic and impactful for me to write about Tim getting the unconditional love I wish I had.

Is a longer chapter worth the wait? I know I posted the poll last week asking if I should make chapter 15 of Woundedly one extra long chapter or split it, but I think this is going to take me even longer to write than I had anticipated.

I had a busy weekend and have only written 4k words for the chapter so far and I haven’t even gotten to big plot point yet. I have another busy weekend upcoming and so I don’t anticipate having much time to write or to edit this week. Once I get to the big plot point/the turning point of this series, I estimate that’ll be another 10k words, which will take me at least another week to write.

So if I do not split this chapter then it could very well end up being 15k words.

If I cut this off at 5k and save the big plot point for chapter 16, I should be able to post this weekend, but it’ll be more of a ‘filler’ chapter focusing more on Tim and Jason and on the food situation than on the overarching plot. I don’t want to post a boring chapter but I also hate to keep you guys waiting for 3 weeks with nothing.

I wanted to see if you guys had a strong opinion either way. Would you rather see an update sooner, even if it’s less plot heavy, or to wait longer and get one extra big update? Because I think if it’s two chapter it’ll be 5k words for chapter 15 and 10k words for chapter 16, or it’ll be one chapter of 15k words.

So if I split it I think I could post chapter 15 this weekend and then take two weeks to write chapter 16, or we wait the three weeks and get one mega chapter.

I dunno if this all makes sense but those are my thoughts.

[scooter3scooterr]

I can imagine after a gala Janet punishes Tim for ‘speaking out of turn.’

Tim is sobbing and when Janet goes to hit him, he cries out, “Please, Mommy, ‘m so sorry. ‘M sorry, please. I- I love you.”

Janet hits him anyway, because he once again spoke out of turn.

That’s part of why Tim doesn’t talk very much. He’s resigned himself to nodding or shaking his head because then it’s less likely that he’ll be punished for talking when he’s not supposed to.

[scooter3scooterr]

Jason had been the second most voted for character to find Tim hiding in the closet in chapter 14, and since it didn’t end up being him, I decided to write a one-on-one scene between Tim and Jason for chapter 15. The chapter won’t be done for another couple weeks, but since I didn’t post this weekend I thought I’d give you guys a sneak peek. I’ll probably edit it more before posting, but here we go—
