I finally saw Obsession since I keep getting recommended videos about "who the real villain is"

Why is this a debate? It's Bear. It's absolutely Bear.

He's literally named after the "man vs bear" debate. Which I guess is fittng because people are debating about him in the context of a relationship.

I really need to make a Venn diagram of The Social Network (2010) and BlackBerry (2023) because I absolutely love both films and would be curious to see a breakdown of what similarities there are between both films as well as (most fascinating to me) their differences

Has there already been a batjokes edit of "In another life, I would've really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you"? Cuz if not, it needs to exist

i have a little issue with nico's coming out

I'd like to start this by saying I'm not trying to defame DRDT, or invalidate anyone who likes Nico, or say that they shouldn't be NB. There is no anti-NB rhetoric going into this.

I'd also like to say that I am a trans woman, but I'm not nonbinary, so I might not be super qualified to talk on this, and my opinion could be bad.

All that in mind, I'll continue down below

I'll start with the fact that Nico's gender is meant to be a secret. Which is fine, everyone is entitled to come out of the closet when they're ready.

However, the motive of the secrets tends to entail things like poisoning your competition, or ruining your sisters' lives. Nico's secret (being unaccepted for being nonbinary and being bullied for it) is lumped into the same category as those secrets. I highly doubt that was the intent of the creator, but it can still come off that way.

It could be a reach, of course. It's something that came to me while I was thinking on this, so it's not a glaring issue. I just thought that was worth mentioning here.

I have more issue, however, with Nico being essentially forced to reveal it because of Ace constantly picking on them (of course I need to tap the sign to make it clear that Ace wasn't being transphobic) and because David, Teruko and Hu asked nicely, or something like that.

It should be Nico's decision to come out, and to do so when they want to. And not because they got bullied by some horse girl with a stupid haircut, and also not because three people who they've known for not even a year asked them to share.

I don't want this to come off as a bad faith reading, but I was kind of uncomfortable, and I tend to become slightly more uncomfortable the more I think about it. So I'm posting about it.

This is all mostly opinion. I could be acting like a sod. Feel free to tear me a new one, I probably have it coming.

Gotten back into writing my wayleska WIP, averaging around 70 words a day on it. Which might not seem like a lot, but I wanna keep it manageable so I don't get overwhelmed and shut down. More important to cultivate a habit of writing rather than focusing on writing a certain amount of words every session

I don't know when the next chapter will be published but hopefully in the next month is my goal.

Ngl writing and making content for Gotham feels very different now than in 2020

It appears to me that a lot of people have moved on to other fandoms, so the notes and interaction I get now really pales in comparison to 3 years ago

I'm not complaining, per se, it's more like as a writer and content creator I have to wonder if my time creating content for Gotham has an expiration date, simply because I make content for people to interact with

I don't foresee myself stopping writing anytime soon because I haven't run out of ideas yet, but man the gifsets I've made in the last week have gotten very few notes and I have wondered to myself if it's worth it to make gifsets anymore for Gotham

I love making gifsets but it's hard to motivate myself to make more when I'm getting less than 10 notes on each gifset. Like why put in all the hours just for no one to see it and like it

Finally back to writing wayleska again after like 5 months of no writing! Excited to get a new chapter out as soon as it's ready

Would anyone like...actually want to read this Bruce Wayne (The Batman 2022) x Reader fanfic I'm working on? It'll probably just be a one shot but I have 1300 words written and normally I don't write this sort of thing but I don't really ship Battinson with...anyone really lmao otherwise I'd just write that instead. If no one would read it I'll just keep it unpublished, but if there's enough interest I can look into putting it on AO3!
