Welcome to another year of Angstober! We're delighted to unveil the prompts for this year of angsty, spooky fun.
What is Angstober?
Angstober is a yearly October challenge with 31 angst-themed prompts to inspire you to create. The challenge is open to all sorts of creative work - writing, art, edits, whatever you want - in whatever medium you want. Original work or fanworks? Whatever you feel inspired for!
How do I take part?
Tag your works with #angstober2024 and the day of the prompt (e.g., #day 01) to share on tumblr. Feel free to @ us directly in the post as well! To share your work on AO3, add it to the Angstober 2024 collection.
You can post your works whenever - early or late - and use as many or as few prompts as you feel inspired for! We'll do our best to reblog as many works to the @angstober blog as we can.
Is there a banner to post my work with?
Absolutely!
Anything else?
Nope. Happy Angsting!

i swear to god if one more stupid fandom ruins a beautiful text post i am calling the police
I will never never never never never never never never never EVER forgive the writers for making Dean leave Sam’s body in the cave in 13.21. Not ever.
Dean would have died himself before he left his baby brother’s body to be picked apart by vampires. Like it’s not about accepting that Sam is dead, it’s about the fact that they made Dean leave Sam’s corpse to be defiled and eaten by the monsters that they hunt, and I just cannot for the life of me accept that. That felt so out of character I was about to pull my damn hair out.
“Don’t have time” my ass.
Dean Winchester would. Never. Do. That.
It’s bad enough we had to watch him leave Sam’s body behind in Red Meat—now it happens again? Now Sam has to wake up again, bloody and scared and confused and all alone??? And Dean isn’t there to comfort him!?!
What if I hurled myself into the sun? Explain yourselves!!
I literally feel like everything I write is trash and that I peaked years ago…but after a little while I’ll come back to my work and be like, wow I’m not totally garbage after all.
please please please please reblog if you’re a writer and have at some point felt like your writing is getting worse. I need to know if I’m the only one who’s struggling with these thoughts
Ive never seen anybody ask this question but...
hi, not to ask you for more recs right when you posted your week’s recs rn, but would you know of any damian focused fics? or authors? i like when he’s become proper nice family :)
also, fic rec for you (not sure if you’ve read it yet!) nature and nurture, it’s a deaged bruce fic. you have to log in to read it on ao3 though.
i hope your week goes well!! 💛💛
Never be afraid to ask for fic recs from me anon, I always enjoy answering these asks (even if it takes me a bit to answer them, lol). And thank you for the fic rec! I love me a good deaged bruce fic, so I'll definately check it out!
Exit Strategy by smilebackwards @smilebackwards - Batfam, complete. Tim tries to leave the batfam while teaching Damian about Wayne Enterprises. He did not expect to enjoy bonding with Damian so much (and vice versa)
DAMIAN WAYNE GOES TO THERAPY by orpheusaki - Batfam, complete. Pretty much what it says on the tin. This is actually a series with two stories. Very good, excellent family bonding.
Taming a Baby Assassin by nighttmr @nighttmr - Batfam, complete. Tim always wanted a little brother, and wants to be the best brother ever for Damian. Damian is confused what Tim's deal is.
A History of Wayne Manor by Sparkypants @sparkypantaloons - Batfam, complete. Damian learns how to play. Featuring, a deaging curse :)
bonding time by TheCourtSorcerer @thecourtsorcerer - Superbat (little bit), Batfam, complete. Damian shows up at Clark's work feeling under the weather. They have a bit of bonding time :)
every citizen in need of a savior by wearetheshadows (sbzpruiosnejre) - Batfam, complete. Damian wants to rescue all of Gotham's citizens including the furry, feathered, and scaled.
a world in repair by Batbirdies @batbirdies - Batfam, complete. Jason and Damian go on a family trip together. Some complications arise. Part of the Emotional Motion Sickness series, and excellent series where Bruce goes to therapy.
10000% correct.
might have to write a fic now, brb.
