Hey yall I’ve noticed a lot of people sending asks about getting to know me and also others asking for a masterlist that they can access from mobile so here you go:
Yall can call me Sunny or Flower.
English is NOT my first Language.
My pronouns are she/her, I am Pan/Bi and proud.
I am in my 20s but this blog will stay SFW
If you like my writing and want to support me you can donate HERE!
Prefer to use AO3 Link HERE!
MASTERLIST BELOW
damian: why'd you shoot that man? i think he's dead
jason: he was pulling out his weapon
damian: what are you, a cop?
jason on the verge of tears: i'm so proud of you, but never compare me to a cop again
New headcanon: the batsiblings name Bruce's stuff, not him. One day Dick looked at Batman's car and said "this is a batmobile" and Bruce was like "you are absolutely correct. this is indeed a batmobile."
Before Jason, batarangs didn't even have a name. They were just random weapons. Jason names them batarangs and ever since Batman also calls them batarangs.
Babs named his computer batcomputer and ever since it's the batcomputer. It's the official name. Don't you dare question it.
In a similar way, rest of the batfam just randomly name the bats and he just goes with it. Steph calls one specific bat Bruce Jr and now it's official name is Bruce Jr. He always recognizes it and uses the correct names
Has the original anon who proposed the idea that gave birth to Dating Prince Charming said anything about the story?
Not that I’m aware of… Like im pretty sure they havent sent any new asks but its possible they have and they just didnt mention who they were?
I hope they like what been written so far tho and i hope they arent to upset about the last chaps delay.
The fact this was Damian's go-to fake name is killing me
"Quick think of a fake name!"
"my brother's first name and my other brother's last name. I'm a genius."
tim showing duke around the cave for the first time: there’s jason’s memorial case, and - oh, here’s dicks old nightwing suit, we call it discowing cuz frankly it’s kinda —
duke: it’s beautiful.
tim: what.
duke: all those bright colors, i bet he pulled in this suit
tim: i mean, i guess he was dating starfire, but she’s not exactly a normal girl —
duke: im gonna have to take notes, maybe dick will help design my suit?
dick wrapping his arms around duke and leading him away to discuss suit ideas: i’m glad someone appreciates my artistic eye
jason: imma kms, there’s two now
clark, discussing what to do about kon with bruce: you know what this means right?
bruce, nodding: yeah, you owe luthor a buttload of child support
clark: what - i - no??
bruce: i mean, it sucks that he baby trapped you but you don’t want to be a deadbeat
clark: he did not - i am not his father, luthor stole my DNA and put that [pointing at kon] into a tube
bruce: i want you to take one good look on how damian came to be
clark: … oh my rao… i am dead beat aren’t i?
*squeals excitedly* does this mean you're almost finished with chapter three of Dating Prince Charming?
A tentative yes we are nearing the finish line… At this point my biggest obstacle is myself! I keep editing it / adding on bits deleting stuff that no longer works with the stuff I added. I cant seem to settle on how Salty i want Lila and Chloe’s fates to be! And then il re-read it and be like oh I didn’t add nearly enough of this or that. Im my own worst enemy…
My other arch-nemesis has been Stardew Valley getting an update while Ive been dealing with house hunting and computer exploding and stuff. So many things to do so many alluring distractions. But between all the madness and bus trips id open google docs on my phone to add to it bit by bit.
Would you ever write something as salty as the "Everything You Deserve" prompt ever again?
Sure. But just like “Everything You Deserve” it would likely be an AU looking at an extreme situation or showing how a character could be pushed into making a bad decision.
Cuz again the way I like to write salt is to look at a character and ask “okay but HOW and WHY would they do these things. How much convincing, bribing, fear, paranoia, ect ect is needed for them to start acting like a worse/better version of themselves”
With the class and Adrien i do see them as written to be kinda overly sweet overly forgiving and yeah gullible. (Sorry Bustier your lessons set these kids up to be exploited) and then from there I ask okay now what would it take for them to do X, Y, Z.
In ‘Everything You Deserve’ it was an alt-AU that presented Adrien as a kid who loves Plagg and being a hero and values those things immensely so when Ladybug asks for the ring back out of nowhere. He panics, gets paranoid and freaked out feels backed into a corner his life sucks he imagines the worst and makes a spur of the moment awful selfish decision.
Basically I wrote him to be a version of Adrien who’s sanity kinda just ‘cracked’ because he didnt trust enough in Plagg or Ladybug or maybe even himself.
So yeah i could write something that salty and dark again but id want it to feel organic a glimpse into an AU worst possibility reality type situation.
Sorry if my question about how dumb you made Adrien in Dating Prince Charming sounded passive agressive, it's just that no matter how bad someone think Adrien is, the idea of him WILLINGLY dating Lila is way too far fetched, and a story that has him dating Lila and it's not because she blackmailed him or his father forced him to is way too tough a sell. Like you really have to come up with a good reason for why he would do so that doesn't seem too out of character.
Nah its a chill and fair question. I have seen the fics where Adrien willingly dates her with 0 coercion and i also feel those are a step to out of character. Like unless Lila 180’d HARD and gaslight girlbossed so hard that she genuinely convinced Adrien she was a reformed sinner now on the path of good? Nah.
But him dating her cuz dad said do it or else? … yeah. Or dating her from blackmail or dating her thinking hes sacrificing himself in some way? In character.
How much of an idiot did you make Adrien in Dating Prince Charming?
I dont want him to come across as ‘an idiot’ in this fic. And in chapter 3 im working on making it clear that Adrien is a sheltered kid who hurt Marinette yeah but not cuz hes stupid or evil. But because he has no idea how relationships really work and thought him just being in a relationship with Marinette and occasionally sending her flowers or sitting near her was good enough because hey relationships are suppose to be easy and perfect fairy tales where you ride off into the sunset.
I also want it to be clear that Marinette wasn’t a good match for him either. Her expectations were too high then she let her Adrien blinders keep her from pushing for things like boundaries against Chloe ect
Basically they dont work together. Adrien isn’t Prince Charming… not hers anyway. And thats okay. But again all that in Chapter 3.
Now if only I could get my computer to work…
You mentioned that you received a lot of hate after the finale aired. What exactly happened?
Someone or multiple someones spammed my inbox with messages basically drowning any other messages or asks id gotten around that time.
On the not so bad end it was just “lol your dumb” or “how stupid do you feel being wrong” which … was weird? Cuz again I dont hate Adrien and I do sometimes ship Adrien and Marinette when the fic slaps. I just happen to dislike how the show writers write Adrien and that makes me salty and also im a sucker for MariBat so like no i dont feel ‘stupid for being wrong’ cuz ??? Thats not how this works???
So those messages didn’t really bug me.
On the bad bad end I got some very hurtful asks telling me to leave the fandom cuz now that the finale aired and Marinette and Adrien were dating ‘my kind’ (???) were not welcome, that my writing was bad, that i was a C word or B word some mocking me for my spelling errors and calling me disabled among other things.
It was weird. They were all sent on anon and I ended up just clearing them out and deciding to ignore them. But I will admit that it did kill my mojo a bit and make me feel self conscious about my writing and spelling.
But despite that I think this fandom is still full of genuine kind people. So I try not to let these hateful reactions win.
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
okay so i just got my dream job??? a week after applying to it?? and now i’m thinking….maybe this is the good luck post
…..not even six hours later i got an offer of a well paying full time long-term job with free room and board in queens in nyc, allowing me independence and a way to escape an abusive situation and an unhealthy environment
likes charge reblogs cast, folks, this is the good luck post
i need all the help i can get for finals
Hey so
the last time I reblogged this post right before I got a great job, in a permanent work-from-home position, with benefits, retirement, and a salary literally 3x what I was making before, doing something I really like.
So you know.
This might be the real one, y’all.
At this point literally anything helps.
For my upcoming mid terms, semi finals and finals. Please.
Eh fuck it let’s do this not like i’m gonna lose anything anyways
Please gods of luck I still need a new apartment and also a call back on that job I applied for would be swell
For those who have been asking and wondering: “Hey where the hell has sunny been? She promised us new chapters to her stuff. Thats kinda rude that she fell off the face of the planet without so much as a note. I hope shes okay at least.”
Soooo yeah… My entire life KINDA exploded. Like you know ‘Murphys Law’ : Anything that can go wrong will go wrong?
WELL that’s been my life!
First off my computer decided to be quirky and special and not like the other girls and stopped accepting the existence of internet. That’s right my very expensive laptop that I use for my job decided I needed to touch grass and went “the internet is fake and you cant convince me otherwise.” So obviously that was a problem and I tried a bunch of stuff to fix it and taking it into a shop and nothing worked and I could not afford another one and again I need it for my job so eventually we figured out a way for it to accept the internet but it needs to be plugged into the router directly.
Then right as that was getting handled. My apartment landlord decided. “Yeahhh I want more money and to get more money I need to renovate so leave. Like asap.” So I have been frantically looking for a place to live. Me and my partner found a place but need to deal with the bank to finalize stuff and the bank is being stubborn and causing problems.
Then on top of that the government of the country im in. (Im an immigrant) went hey wait WE messed up your immigration paperwork and need you to resend a bunch of documents but also the mail messed up so you dont have as much time as we normally give not our problem though. So Ive been diving through our packed belongings looking for old paperwork from over a year ago.
Oh and every few days my very chaotic family sends me very stressful messages or needs my help with stuff.
So… yeah. Im physically healthy at least. But I have not had 1 moment of stress free rest in awhile.
The good news is ive taken care of a lot of the problems above. I mean my housing situation is still very up in the air thanks to money problems and bank laziness but aside from that the rest is mostly ironed out. So for those who have been asking: yes I’m alive, yes I’m okay, no i haven’t abandoned this blog, no i haven’t abandoned my fics, yes i feel bad that everything has been delayed so much.
I hope I can settle everything in my life soon and go back to posting more consistently. Until then please keep your fingers and toes crossed that the housing situation works because its a very nice apartment and I need somewhere to live.
Update: Housing Situation fell apart. A family member volunteered to help us with a down payment then ghosted us completely instead of saying anything.
So its back to stalking rental websites until we can find something in our budget and in an area with public transportation. We thought we found one earlier buttt scam.
Why is it so hard to find a decent place to rent?? And why are down-payments to buy so so much?!? Im not even angry at this point just tired and annoyed.

I love the trope of the justice league all thinking that batman is a metahuman, but he just doesn't talk about it because he's secretive about literally everything. Every league member has their own theory on what his powers are which they love to debate and cite examples for whenever batman can't hear them
Barry thinks it's an intelligence thing, like his IQ was boosted or something, that's why he's the world's greatest detective
Hal claims he was bitten by a radioactive bat and has bat powers like echolocation (yes, he knows it sounds stupid, and yes, he will die on this hill, and one day when he gets definitive proof everybody will have to get on their knees and apologize for laughing at him)
Superman thinks he was involved in an experiment by one of Gotham's rogues when he was younger and has standard physical powers (strength, speed, endurance, etc) but just at very low levels so they don't stand out but still put him ahead of normal humans in physical capability
Arthur thinks he has a regenerative factor bc no way an ordinary human gets hit like that so much and keeps going
Victor thinks he's some sort of empath and that's how he's able to do detective work so well and come up with such good plans on the fly
J'onn knows Batman is human (for obvious reasons) and declines to contribute to these conversations because "it would spoil all the fun"
Diana also knows (because she's not stupid) but contributes to these conversations not with her own theories but by egging on everybody else's because she loves chaos
Bruce is aware of the situation and hasn't said anything because he's not sure yet if it's more or less beneficial that they think he's a metahuman (though he does wish Diana would stop encouraging Hal's radioactive bat theory)
The Justice League has powerpoint nights (secret from Batman) but every powerpoint is just "Indisputable Proof That My Theory Is Correct And You All Are Wrong"
Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:
In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.
A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.
In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.
this connects to some REALLY good writing advice i remember from @batshaped
Characters are contradictory, just like people are. What would it take for them to do the thing they've told themselves they'd never do, and how would they try to justify it?
So what I'm hearing is, "Under what circumstances would he fucking do that?"
