#Ivy rambles

[ivy-and-ivory]

Dick’s early years as Robin are just. You are ten years old. Tomorrow you have a math test. Last night you saved ten lives. You could not save the two that mattered most. Neither could he, which is why you are here. A year ago you spent your days in a trailer and your nights beneath the big top, and you were never more than 10 feet away from someone who loved you. Now you are adrift in a mansion full of ghosts. You want to go home. You climb up to the highest attic and scream as loud as you can just to see if anyone will hear you. For the crime of losing your parents, they put you in a cell. At night you leap from skyscrapers and remember how to fly. You go to bed and watch them fall. Sometimes you wake up and you are so full of anger you don’t know how you can survive it. You are trying to survive it. You want to kill a man. You rescue a baby from a burning building and his mother calls you an angel. You eat an ice cream cone on top of a gargoyle. You do not want another father. You need a friend. There is a secret only four people in the whole world know. You are one of them.

being a smut writer means, sometimes, that "doing research" involves watching a specific type of porn to get a loosey goosy feel of how things work

Like I have been learning. And have made many honest mistakes. Which is okay cause I am only human. Noone around you, or atleast me, teaches you this. Free resources I think are limited and not very cohesive? Anyway they are only 18, so it makes sense as to why they would think this. So I hope they see this as a learning experience and do better.

I keep picturing this scenario where Batman has never told the Justice League his secret identity or anything about his kids. And then one day, for whatever reason, the Red Hood crosses paths with the JL, and it becomes clear that he knows all their identities. Cue mass panic: they all gather in the watchtower to figure out what to do about this huge security breach. Everyone is freaking out, shouting, wondering how the hell the Red Goddamn Hood of heads in duffel bag fame knows that mild mannered journalist for the Daily Planet Clark Kent is actually Superman.

Batman is being suspiciously silent.

Eventually someone turns to Batman and is like what the hell, you’re more paranoid about secret identities than all of us put together, why aren’t you freaking out? And Batman tries to deflect the question somehow, like I don’t believe Hood intends to use this knowledge against us, which just gets alarm bells ringing for everyone in the room because did Batman?? Just say he doesn’t think someone might use sensitive information against him??? BATMAN???!!!

So everyone’s freaking out even harder now, but then someone, maybe Clark, starts connecting some dots about Batman’s strange behavior and asks, “…Batman. Did you…already know? That the Red Hood knows our identities?”

And Batman rumbles and grumbles but it becomes clear that yeah, actually, he’s known this for a while.

So now everyone’s not just stressed about the identity breach, they’re also pissed because what the hell, Batman??? This known criminal knows our deepest, most guarded secrets, and you didn’t think that maybe we should know that????? That maybe that was important information for us to have????? How did you even find this out?!? Why didn’t you do anything bc about it?? How did- … How… Batman? …How did the Red Hood? Learn. Our identities?

And then finally someone, maybe Barry, is like, “Uhhhhhhhaha Batman? You didn’t. You didn’t tell Hood our identities, right? You didn’t…Batman?”

Batman doesn’t respond.

The table goes dead silent.

Because like. How is Bruce supposed to explain to this table of people that don’t know who he or Hood are that yes, he told Hood their identities literally years ago, without explaining that Hood was Robin. How is he going to explain to a Hal that’s trying to strangle him with his constructs and a Diana that’s staring at him like she’s never seen him before and a Clark that’s giving him the biggest kicked-puppy eyes you’ve ever seen that yeah Hood knows but it’s alright! He’s not going to do anything about it they don’t need to stress. That’s his son that’s his baby boy

Mmmm I Do Not Love the fact that tumblr shows me what specific muts/people I follow have liked because uh…. This implies my followers have the potential of randomly being shown specific posts Ive liked and I Do Not Like That

I keep shit fairly tame with what I post mostly because yall dont send me degenerate asks even tho I would 100% write it so Im slightly worried if I do post The Weird Shit Im accidentally gonna startle the hell out of someone who didn’t realize what they were getting into when they followed me. But my likes are *filled* with the weird shit. AhhHHHHHHHHHHH

Something important to know about me is that I was raised Catholic, and despite how shitty and awful the Church can be, I grew up in a close-knit congregation with people who loved me and supported me. My oldest and best friend is someone I met in CCD. The first person I came out other than my family to was my priest, Father John. I was involved in the music as was the middlest, and the youngest sibling was an altar servers. Even after leaving the church, I still hold more fond memories than bad ones, and I remember the stories they would tell us about Jesus and his followers.

Which is to say that while I do not go to mass anymore, I absolutely will pray to the saints for any minor inconvenience

ALSO: since I want to do everything in my power to finance my mother's hearing aids, I have lowered the prices for commissions! (They're going to be like this for a whole month, probably longer!)

The new price for comics (former $120): $60

The new price for character sheets (former $110): $60

The new price for collages (former $100): $60
