Exactly!

And i gotta ask, I cannot be the only one who sees these things, like

Writing tips to help get published! Problems an editor always has to point out!

And I'm just like, please don't do that?? As a reader, i do not agree?

For example, i saw one guy saying, "Don't use one-off side characters. Combine them into one character, so that the batista the MC sees everyday, the secondary love interest, and the childhood are all 1 3-dimensional person instead of 3 1-dimenaional characters."

I saw that and i just immediately thought, please god no, don't do that. I love random side characters! I hate it when it feels like the MC's world is so tiny, like they literally only interact with 2 or 3 people. I wanna see how they are with strangers! How strangers percieve them! It makes the world feel larger!

And i admit, i am NOT a writer, at all. But I read CONSTANTLY. I'm part of the audience, and i prefer when my book/fanfiction does the opposite of what professionals tell them to.

Please tell me I'm not the only one

Reblog if you’ve ever read fan-fiction that actually set the bar higher.

Story time y'all. I was just about to go to bed when the LOUD AS HELL FIRE ALARM in my apartment complex starts going off. Flashing lights and BEH BEH BEH. I outside all upset, thinking my night's ruined because it takes FOREVER for them to get it off and it's FREEZING out. Then I open Tumblr and this post is the first one I read, conveniently after I just read a fix involving a wild boar, and it just really made me smile. Thanks, people of Tumblr, for making a shitty experience less shitty

Needless to say, I am HORRIFIED.

Jensen and Jared are my spirit animals and the idea of them and Batfam together brings great joy, but nah, Jared is way too tall, it's not happening, though I could totally go for Jensen as Jason.

I mean, Jensen does have a lot of experiance playing resurrected characters.

So there's this thing with people casting Jensen ackles as Jason Todd?? As much as I stay in the Jason Todd tags I've never heard of or seen that

Jensen voiced Jason in Under the Red Hood, and some people want him to play Jason in live action.
