welcome all

My name is J. Ao3 is ShadowOfTheCowl. Chilling and (very) slowly writing.

[thefuriousstarlightstudent]

How does one be a functioning adult when the world is falling apart around you? Asking for a friend. I want to be productive and write, but IDK, it feels impossible.

I'm originally from Minnesota and it's been rough and weird watching everything when I don't live in the US anymore. I can't even do anything to support my family members who might be targeted and live in Minneapolis. I just have to check in daily to make sure none of them disappear :/

Words can't even begin to describe all my thoughts on what's being done to people by ICE. What's being done in Minnesota and Minneapolis. So yeah... that's where my head's been at.

Sorry for the downer post 😭

“Baba,” Attie said, as she pushed open the door to Father’s room. Alfred told her she could go wake Father up whenever she wanted, and Jason and Damian weren’t letting her into the cave where Father said they could go train whenever they wanted. 

It wasn’t fair that she wasn’t allowed to go with them. 

“Baba,” she said again, as she stepped inside the giant dark room. She’d not been inside Father’s room yet. 

She was pretty sure Father was in bed. It took her eyes a second to adjust, but she could see a lump on top of the blankets, and she was pretty sure that was Father. 

Father groaned, and rolled over, but didn’t respond. Attie took a step back. 

Maybe she shouldn’t have woken him. Maybe she should have just followed Jason downstairs anyway. 

Even though. He might yell at her if she did that. 

She didn’t like it when Jason yelled at her. 

“Attie?” Father asked, as he pushed himself into a sitting position, “What’s wrong?” 

“I want to go into the cave with Jason and Damian,” she said quietly. All she needed was for him to show her how to get down there, that was it. 

“What?” Father said. He sat fully up and rubbed at his eyes, before he reached over to his nightstand and grabbed his phone and clicked the screen on. In the light of the phone, Attie could see him cringe away from it, and also could see how he looked super sleepy still.

I love it when fan fiction writers are like: “ah shit, this was meant to be one part but I started writing it and now it has to be three”. Like the fanfic is happening to them and not being created by them.

people reading jason and the three terrors: Have Damian and Bruce hugged yet? I don't think they have. I'm probably gonna end up rereading all of part III anyway to figure this out lmao but I don't think they have???? Damian obviously doesn't initiate hugs and neither does Bruce really, so I don't think they did. He was super cuddly with Jason after being rescued but I think he was very cordial and professional (lol) with Bruce.

It was 1:15 when Jason finally made his way upstairs, Dick by his side. They were quiet, because they didn’t want to disturb all the sleeping children in the house.

Quietly, Jason activated the opening into the study, and watched as the clock moved out of the way. He took one step forward, then absolutely froze. 

Because sitting on the couch, across the room from the cave entrance was Bruce and Attie. 

Attie was curled up into Bruce’s side, fast asleep.

How on earth did Bruce go from ‘she won’t speak to me’ to that?

In, like, twelve hours???

Jason gave them a bewildered look as he stepped through the opening. Bruce was working on his tablet, but he set it aside as Jason stepped closer.

“Is she okay,” Jason mouthed, knowing Bruce would pick up on what he asked.

Bruce nodded. “She’s fine,” he replied, in the faintest of whisper, “She was missing you.”

The gaang would be great company to play Three Truths One Lie with. Exhibit A:

Aang: okay Zuko, here are your options:

A) Katara was arrested for earthbending

B) Sokka got high on cactus juice

C) Toph kissed Suki

D) I adopted a frog squirrel

Zuko: Hmm, this is hard.

Aang: Because they’re all improbable?

Zuko: No, because somehow they’re all plausible.

i kind of don’t relate to the way other people Hate fictional characters in fandom spaces most of the time because to me a character is first and foremost a vehicle for Making A Story so if the character does Story. then it’s good. i don’t know how to explain what i mean by this. the only time i feel like i dislike a character is when i feel like their presence is not interesting and isn’t doing anything for my experience of Story. you know.

Me when people talk about how much they hate bully characters. Do you not know that person doesn't exist? Chill tf out

I have a new Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic out! This has been a very long time coming (and is another rescue from my massive pile of fics that I started and never finished). I finally got around to editing this and wanted to publish it, so I hope that you all enjoy it!

Synopsis:

Sokka is seven years old when the Fire Nation comes.

Sokka is also, coincidentally, seven years old the final time he sees snow.

I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are

I should post the next chapter of my fanfic, but I could also sleep, and that sounds pretty nice.
