Describe a fic that almost happened, but then it didn't.

i have a whole folder of scraps and ideas for fics that i might write one day but so far have no plans to actually work on LOL. i think the most incredibly self indulgent one in there is about kon befriending zoanne wilkins as the first step in my ultimate zoserl agenda, ft. some identity shenanigans, because i'm still mad that there's only 13 fics in the zoanne wilkins tag on ao3 and approximately zero (0) of them are actually about her in any way rather than just her being mentioned in the background of some other ship fic (or hashtag batfam fic). well okay there's one fic that's about her in a relationship with tim but i don't want that either i want exes-to-friends. and i want kon getting her into wendy the werewolf stalker!!!!!!!!! it could be so beautiful.... zoanne sweetie i WILL write this for you one day. it just hasn't happened so far bc i have so many wips and ideas and so little energy :(

#17 with Thad/Match

Accepting || ship headcanon meme @radioactive-earthshine

#17. When they find a time machine, where do they go?

//Ooo! That's a good question!

Personally, I feel like Thad would not be stoked to time travel again due to y'know Pres. Thawne, science police, his own general wariness, and probably running into other Thawnes, but if they had to/if he was up to it, I think they would jump around anywhere post the early 31st Century. (Or just like very briefly the 31st Century despite it's political climate cause he was created there. I'll go into why below.)

I don't think the past really has any intrigue for either of them given their upbringing as clones first, but I do think Thad would like to show Match a bit of the period that had a part of his upbringing from a sentimental stand point just wanting to share a part of himself with Match.

He doesn't want to touch the 31st Century that he knows with a 10-yard pole, but they could see it post, like Pres. Thawne, or something.

I also think they would enjoy just jumping around from period to period in the future and never settling on one particular time period or place. They'd make it like a globe trotting adventure, but through time.

11, 12, 13 for the salty comic questions

11. What’s the worst art you’ve seen?

Well now, art is a subjective thing, and what one person doesn't like, another might think is really good, and maybe it would help if we all uncoupled our personal experiences with the idea of I'm just kidding, it's Larry Stroman on X-Factor

It's like Rob Liefeld and Frank Quitely had a baby that they then raised exclusively on a diet of meth.

2. Are there any comics you’ve read knowing they’re bad and why?

Oh, plenty. Cry For Justice and Rise of Arsenal spring readily to mind, as does Countdown to Final Crisis (take a shot). As for the why, mostly curiosity, and a desire to see how far I can get without putting the book down entirely. So far, one of the only comics to ever genuinely shock me with how bad it was was Chuck Austen's X-Men.

13. What’s the worst character assassination you’ve seen happen?

I've talked about two of my standout examples, Cass Cain and Mary Marvel, in the other post, so I'm gonna go with Max Lord, who was never a bad gu y before Countdown to Infinite Crisis, and has never recovered since it came out.

Happy Birthday! I'd love to know what your favorite thing about Thad is and your favorite personal headcanon about him.

My curse with Thad is that I know had his editorial history not been like that I wouldn't really care. a compelling story cut short by the powers that be (dan didio when i get you). knowing that his story would never be solved in canon used to keep me up at night

he has a lot of wasted potential in his relationship with Bart, Helen, Max, Iris and so many others. its very easy to find the base for a good story in the existing material (mirroring bart, time traveller, connection to all Allens and Thawnes, etc)

for my favourite silly headcanon i'd like to say BALD. after mercury falling he got rid of his bart hair by shaving his head (something something something mirror bart shaving his head)

for a serious headcanon, Thad hates Iris West with a burning passion and even if he were to be redeemed he would never stop. i like to think that he kidnaps iris and blows up her house bc subconciously he was jeallous she saved bart. after Mercury Falling he blames her for saving bart but not him, cursing him to a loveless life. everything is her fault

✈️ : What is one thing about canon that you'd change?

I have thought about this long and hard and I think I'd leave all of the big characters alone and make Pa Kent canonically trans. It'd change everything and nothing and it would piss off all the right people.

Ask Game :)

@radioactive-earthshine replied to your post “Lol I think I got one of those art scam comments...”:

omg you too?!

​Yup, I think so!

Mine looks like this:

It's the "Can we chat on another platform" that made me think of that art scam.

TREAT here is a northern amber bumblebee, Bombus borealis

Cass Cain for the character questions >:3c

Okay so I've been a bit busy lately so it took a bit to get to this but YES! CASS!

Favorite thing about them: I love her dedication to her morals, to what she believes in. I love just how much she cares about doing the right thing.

Least favorite thing about them: This is less of a character critique and more of a fandom/writer critique, but I dislike when her jagged parts are shaved down. She is rebellious! She's feisty! She will not sway or bend her morals for anyone (I'm mainly thinking about when people have her like Jason or even get along with him. He kills. She would judge him so so hard for that!)! Let her be jagged and sharp!

Favorite Line: Agh it's been a while since I've read Batgirl 2000, but "Nobody dies tonight" is an iconic line and if I remember that story right in total it's a wonderful encapsulation of her character.

BrOTP: Honestly? Her and Kon. I never liked them together, but as friends I just think they'd have such a good dynamic.

OTP: StephCass all the way. Maybe it's that I'm a sucker for a sapphic ship, maybe it's that panel where Cass hallucinates Steph bridal carrying her, maybe it's that and a lot more lol.

NOTP: Of course, none of the batboys because that's disgusting but that's also a given. So, I'll just go with Kon. It's not the worst ship in the world, it doesn't trigger my gag reflex, I just don't jive with it.

Random Headcanon: Her fashion sense is very Joan Jett-esque.

Unpopular Opinion: I don't really know. Man, I am so gonna re read Batgirl 2000 soon because I'm realizing I've forgotten so much about her. I guess it's just what I said above, really, she isn't all soft and demure, she's tough and rough but above all else she is kind. Too many people conflate kindness with being soft and unconfrontational, but really kindness is the ability to treat people like people, and that makes you neither soft nor unconfrontational, in my opinion.

Song I associate with them: Monster from Adventure Time: Distant Lands Obsidian (specifically the King Princess version). So many lines resonate with my view of Cass, but especially the line We were messed up kids who taught ourselves how to live, so scared that I'm not good enough I just- that whole song feels like Cass to me. She hated herself for so long for what she'd done, even though she was just a kid. As someone who was raised as a weapon, she's been seen as a monster, she's thought of herself as a monster. She didn't truly receive the love she gave to her father as a child, instead she received a grotesque distortion of love. So for her to be loved, truly and wholly, it's all at once frightening and healing for her.

Favorite Picture of them:

This one! It's really pretty to me and it just- aaaaa I don't know how to describe the way this panel makes me feel I just love it a lot.
