Heard Some Important Information On Twitter Today, And Thought I’d Post It Here For Anyone Who May

I've been down lately going through family and adult stuff and responsibilities. I was wondering if you can recommend a fic that's got a very sad/hurt Dick where someone helps him out? Those really help a lot especially when they talk to him. Thanks

Oh no, I’m so sorry that life’s got you down, friend. Sorry it took me so long to respond, but I was working. Anyways, here’s the list, and I hope you enjoy!

As always, you can check out my fic recs here.

To be seen and not heard - Dick’s hurt, has to hide, and he meets someone unexpected in his chosen hiding place. It just keeps getting better as you go.

Every Fiber of My Being - birdflash, but it’s really good at showing the strain on Dick’s shoulders after Bruce dies. Plus it’s a longfic.

All your resolve (dissolves) - YJ fic. This doesn’t actually have much of a happy ending, but it does show the how stressed Dick was during the invasion through Tim’s eyes.

Short of Stable - Hurt Dick with worried Damian and Alfred

The Mechanics of a Hug - Dick is literally being hugged the entire fic and it’s great.

There Is This Space - Super short, but it’s a fear toxin fic and I can never resist.

Seven Days a Week - Dick’s family takes care of him, even when they don’t know what’s wrong.

The Winter of Our Discontent - Dick gets super hurt in this one, and there’s worried batdad. And it’s 10k.

the man with guns for eyes - Dick comes home from Spyral and everyone’s got issues with everyone. They figure it out with a little help, plus some minor (major) injuries.

With a Broken Wing - Bruce is there for Dick, even when no one else is.

 Save You - YJ fic. Warning for suicidal thoughts. Dick has a really rough time here.

Come One, Come All - Dick’s hurt and his family keeps him company.

To Pass Through This Night - Deals with the fallout Forever Evil never really got around to dealing with. Dick cries.

Even When You’re Down - Sick Dick and worried Jason and Bruce.

Handle with Care - Dick’s sick and Bruce and Damian try their best.

Shield - Bruce is hurt and Dick doesn’t handle it very well.

The Only Moment We Are Alone - Dick and Damian dealing with each other’s nightmares.

You Won’t Wake Up Alone - Dawn wrote this for me, and it’s kind of another fallout fic from Forever Evil, and I’ve read this at least fifty times.

Breather - Dick’s sick and Bruce is there.

Second Generation - Deals with the aftermath of Tarantula and Blockbuster. Mostly Tarantula. Warning for deep, deep depression. I’d recommend taking time to read something else or go on a walk every few chapters.

edit because I forgot a few:

The Gotham Vigilante’s Guide to Christmas - Dick’s hurt and doesn’t tell anyone

There’s Nothing to Fear Here - Dick’s whammied with fear toxin

there’ll always be a few things, maybe several things - Dick has a hard night and goes to Tim for help

It’s a long list, but I hope it helps!

Also, there are some more fics that deal with Dick and depression I have on hand, but I didn’t want to recommend them right off the bat if you’re in too deep of a funk. I know that when I read some of them, they’d send me deeper into my depression than I already was, and I’d end up having to call someone to talk me out of hurting myself or talk me down from panic attacks.

If you would like me to recommend them, I’d feel better if you messaged me personally. Hope you’re alright <3

Just ordered one and I'm so excited to get it!! ❤

Thought #1

"I have to help them!" She yelled jumping from her chair.

"You can't. They want you." He said calmly.

She took off towards the door. He stepped in front of her grabbing her wrist.

"You are more important." He said softly pulling her closely wrapping his arms around her.

"You don't get to tell me what to do." She screamed pushing against his chest as tears streamed down her face.

"You're right, but I'll do everything I can to keep you safe." He said as he tightened his grip.

May DoggoD win the games!

Reblog a really good girl to bless your dash!

Writer's Guide: Hand to Hand Combat

Your character is unarmed and all they have left to fight with is their bare hands. If they hope for the enemy to catch their hands, you will have to write an effective scene. So how can we write a good hand to hand combat scene?

Most Common Moves

Now, I'm not going to list 30+ martial arts moves. Most of your characters will not be masters of kung fu or mixed martial arts. Most people who get into fights are novices.

Punch: a punch is probably to go to strike. Try not punch anybody in the face because one, they will expect it and two, it will hurt your hand. If you can aim for the soft parts of an opponent, kidneys or gut.

Kick: Kicking isn't pretty but it is effective. A good swift kick to the back of somebody's knee will fold them like a lawnchair.

Go for the groin: Man or woman getting kicked in the nether regions is no picnic. A good swift kick with your foot or your knee can incapacitate your opponent. Its not the most honourable of moves but it works.

An Elbow strike is effective: The elbow is your strongest point of attack. Drive it in to a windpipe or a gut and you can but yourself valuable time to retreat or stall your opponent from answering back.

Eyes: they are weak points. Jab somebody in the eyes with a thumb and they will stop in their tracks.

Throat: You can end any fight by going straight for the throat either grasping it in a headlock or jabbing it with a fist which can collapse the windpipe.

Bite: If you are unable to snack your opponent, use your teeth. The human bite is perhaps not as strong as a hyena's but it is strong enough to shorten your opponent by a finger or two.

How to Escape from Grips and Holds

Pinned from behind with your arms pinned: You have to stop your opponent from getting to a headlock. Move your hips to one side and strike backwards toward the groin or gut. This should weaken the hold of your opponent. Once the grip is loosened, turn toward your opponent and snack them into the nose with the heel of your hand.

Held from behind: Bend forward as far as you can making it more difficult for your opponent to lift you. Jab with your elbows back into your opponent's chest or face. Turn toward your opponent once the grip loosens and strike at the face or the groin again to subdue your opponent.

Headlock: If your opponent has you in a headlock, DON'T STRUGGLE. You could break your own neck. Turn into your opponent's side as close as possible. With your hand that is furthest away, hit your opponent into the groin or gut.

Pinned down on the ground: Most likely your opponent is using their own hands and weight to keep you down. If you can move your knees, try to jab them in the side or the groin to unbalanced them.

Things to Remember

1. The whole 6-10 minute bout only happens in films or controlled sporting events. Fights are usually over within a few minutes. (when writing effective fights, keep the pace short.)

2. Girls are vicious. I've worked in nightclubs and broke up a fair few fights. Boys will knock the shit out of each other but girls will tear shreds out of each other. I have known grown men to break up fights between guys but nobody wants to break up a catfight.

3. One wants the fight to end quickly. If you keep slugging at each other, you'll get tired pretty fast. Have your character try end the fight as soon as possible.

4. Nobody emerges from fights unscathed. Even winners may come out with black eyes, broken noses or at very least a broken lip. If you punch someone, you will likely bruise your knuckles if not split them.

5. If your character is fighting to survive, they don't have to stick to etiquette. They will have to do anything to survive even if it means doing something unpleasant like fishhooking or hairpulling.

Prompt: Hiding an Injury

Part 1 | Part 3

Ella woke up with a bunch of texts on her phone. Jack had sent at least 20 apologizing for not taking her apology and wondering if everything was ok.

Her other friends had sent her similar texts. She smiled and kept scrolling until she found one from Victor.

Congrats you completed your favor. You can now talk to your friends. You also can find the hostage at this address.

Attached to the text was a photo of an address. She jumped up and changed her clothes as fast as she could. As she ran out of the room, she grabbed her mask and teleported to street level.

She teleported across the city and found the building in the photo. Searching through the rooms, she found another hostage.

She helped them home and decided to walk back to her apartment instead of teleport. She pulled her mask off and started walking.

Her phone buzzed, and she saw a text from Jack.

I’m worried about you. Can you talk?

Ella sighed and dialed Jack’s number. Before she could call him, Victor sent her another text.

Before you talk to your boyfriend, I need another favor. Meet me on the roof of the bank in 15 minutes.
