Robin Info/lore:

A fanbot from the SPG universe, created in 1900

Most parts made from copper. The teal parts being oxidized after years of use, the more typically coloured copper parts being frequently replaced because they move a lot and can damage easily

Originally designed as a delivery robot in 1900, long after his siblings, he has wings to fly to delivery destinations and more complex and extensive facial mechanisms because he works in customer service. Ironically he has social anxiety and a fear of heights.

His siblings were not often at the mansion, instead touring and putting on shows, so Robin went a long while having never met them. They made friends with the Walter Workers but still felt very lonely most of the time, wandering the giant mansion alone. He looked up to his siblings greatly, and when they finally came back to the mansion and met him he nervously asked to join the band, they accepted happily.

He’s not trans in the same way that Rabbit was. He was built as a “female” robot (never had any genitals, but was programmed to “act like a woman” and view himself as a woman). But while in the Walter Manor he read magazines and news papers and articles about “transexuals” and “pansy performers” and identified with it, with how they presented themselves. That’s what he wanted to look like. The first time he ever met his siblings Rabbit talked about being trans and she helped him discover himself.

How did you both meet Robin? Bonus: how exasperated is she with the both of you on the daily from 1-10? 😂

Billy: *his smirk widens* Well, I met Robin through Steve *a faint glimmer of amusement in his eyes as he thinks about it* she wasn’t exactly thrilled when Steve introduced me. She acts like we’re a pain in her ass, but I’m not buying it *he scratches his jaw thoughtfully, grinning* Honestly, it’s probably her favorite pastime. I think we make it fun for her. *Billy shrugs, eyes flicking toward the camera* She’s exasperated like a solid 8 or 9 on most days—but there’s no way she’d help manage the account or hang around this much if she didn’t actually enjoy it. *he laughs as he glances at Steve* She’d never admit it, though.

Steve: *rubs the back of his neck, laughing* I met Robin a long time ago at a summer job I had at an ice cream parlor. We became friends and yeah, she's been around ever since. *grins and laughs* You two are like oil and water. You're constantly bickering with her, but I think she's kind of given up resisting and realized that you're part of the deal that comes with me now. *realizes what he just said, eyes widening. He swallows, blushing* I mean, since we're roommates. You're here. Around. And...uh, um... *stutters* And yeah, esp–especially with this account. Since this was your idea. *looks away, grimacing. Lets out a deep breath and looks back to the camera, avoiding Billy's gaze* Yeah, I think she likes helping us. She always complains loudly, but she wouldn't do it unless she likes it.

[robins-s0ngbird]

Hello, I'm robins-s0ngbird, but call me Serenia/Sapphire! I go by both~

You most likely recognize the name 'Serenia' from somewhere~ It's most likely from my roleplay blog @intergalactic-singer (which is technically my main according to tumblr, but this will act as my main!) for Robin from Honkai Star Rail!

All follows and likes will come from the Robin account, simply because I had 0 idea what I was doing when I made the account..

I'm a Hoyoverse girl, mostly playing Honkai Star Rail, Honkai Impact 3rd, and the occasional Genshin Impact when my friends bother me to play with them. I also play Wuthering Waves, Cooke Run Kingdom, Cookie Run Ovenbreak, Zenless Zone Zero, and Brawl Stars!

Even with my somewhat busy life, I tend to learn all the lore in each game I play~ I also currently run 19 RP blogs across 7 fandoms, but they'll soon increase with my new obsessions.

List of roleplay blogs are here!

I mostly write small stories or my OC lore with my mutuals, which we often tie their lore together. I usually write whenever I'm bored, or someone asks me to write them something. I also send mutuals a lot of random stuff, from music to art~

My current obsession is Aventurine and Robin (plus their boyfriends!) from Honkai Star Rail (as you could probably tell from my username and graphics-) I also happen to have Robin as my main muse, but thats also not the point-

（。＾▽＾） (robins-s0ngbird.carrd.co)

Heres my carrd if you need any extra info~! It has some of my mutuals on it, but a full list will be added later~!

Though my blog may mostly be tagless (because I tend to forget them-), heres a list just in case~!

General;

for friendship ~ For anything for my mutuals!

serenias snippets ~ Any random short stories/headcanons

serenias song queue ~ Any music/playlists I share

serenia shares art ~ Any art I reblog, regardless of fandom

Fandom;

beloved gem ~ Anything Aventurine/Aventio related because im very not normal

beloved songbird ~ Anything Robin/Robinhill related

angelic siblings ~ Any Robin post with Sunday in it

elysian realmkeeper ~ Anything with Elysia in it

fontainian actress ~ Anything Furina related

feixiaoposting ~ Anything Feixiao related. I love her sm.

riding the stars ~ Anything Star Rail related

across the sea of quanta ~ Anything Honkai Impact related

all across teyvat ~ Anything Genshin related

Honkai Star Rail;

I fell in love with this game, simply because I saw that it was releasing, and I needed a new game. I never knew that it'd become my main game and fandom I'd be in. I loved the character designs, the lore, and the writing behind it all. I even appreciate the Honkai Impact references since I started playing that too~!

I play on NA, and my uid is 601916942 :>

(also, beware of my Aventurine. just saying.)

Current Main: Aventurine, with a bit of Dr Ratio and Welt on the side~

Current Main Team: Dr. Ratio, Silver Wolf, Aventurine, Lynx

My Favorite Characters: Aventurine, Robin + Sunday, Boothill, Silver Wolf, Dan Heng/Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae, Welt

Honkai Impact 3rd;

I decided to play this game because, I simply went 'I play Star Rail. I should play this too because its a honkai game!' and suddenly I love this game so much. I fell in love with the characters, the buildup, the worldbuilding, everything.

I still play on the American server, with my UID being 107786863 :3

Current Main: Senadina (sorry Elysia)

Current Team: Senadina, Helia, Coralie

My Favorite Characters: Elysia, Kiana Kaslana, Bronya Zaychik, Welt (again), Senadina, Griseo, Kevin Kaslana, Li Sushang, Shigure Kira

Thank you for reading~!

[babsggordon]

All of the possible yj rp blogs brings me up a very pretty memory <33

OOC POST BTW i would do it in the ooc account but i feel like it fits better here.

Okay, so, 7 years ago, when i watched Young Justice for the first time I was hyped, and some other people tol because i think it was the first time Netflix upload it (at least in latam).

And I have the habit of role-playing since im like 12, so naturally i ended in Roleplay Amino. And there was a lot of people doing like a huge Young Justice descendats rp. It was a themed OC thing

And I just had the time of my life being Romina Grayson, and she started being Robin and the character went on for like a whole 9 months, she evolved, she started dating Wally's daughter. She failed saving mount justice, she watched her father die and eventually became Nightwing. And then she died. BUT CAME BACK TO LIFE TO SAVE THE JUSTICE LEAGUE.

It was so great i even want to write a three part fanfic about it

[canonrpfinder]

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing alright, folks! And thanks canonrpfinder to manage the account and to helping me to see when posts had been udpate, lol!

About me! I roleplay since ten years now, and currently doing it on discord! I write on 3rd person, and are pretty flexible when it comes to the lenght of our answers. I would just like to have a partner sending something I can work with, not just anyhting like "He kissed her." or those five words answers. I tend to like playing on a server for the two of us, with using tupperbox. I love OOC discussion, and eventually would be looking for someone who could answer regularly. I am also ready to double rp. To conclude this part, I wish that all people reaching me be over the age of majority! I like to have some erp parts in my rp, not just for the love of it (thought horny can be fun) but because I do romantic ships and think that erp can be beautiful when we write it good!

Anyways, about what I am really looking for right now! It will be about some fandoms of mine and ships in it, so buckle up and here we go!🕺

[deadinyourarea]

hey im officially working on a 'family tree' of sorts for every blog involved in this rp group so would you mind telling me who your characters are connected to and where theyre living with tags so I can keep everything organized? Connection list is: Parent/child Grandparent/grandchild Great grandparent/great grandchild Siblings Dating Married/engaged pibling/nibling (gender neutral terms for aunt/uncle and niece/nephew)

(repeating this for all the blogs you run would be appreciated)

if you have any questions just ask!

(apologies if this has been sent multiple times. if youve already answered i likely lost the information due to disorganization that i'm currently dealing with)

@thedcrpfamilytree

(( Hey Hey! Sorry about how late this is, didn't see this at first! Also sorry if I answer this in a confusing way. This is also just a general post to explain some things to the audience as well!

So at the moment all of Phantom's familiar connections are simply in universe with no accounts, so they just show up here with colored text!

His Danny Fenton (aka, his human identity) acc is @spacebased101

His parents are in Amity, and I have no plans of introducing them into his story.

His siblings are Dani and Dan, both of which I'm considering making accs for in the future. Dani is located across the globe since she constantly travels, and Dan is located primarily in the Ghost Zone.

He isn't dating anyone at the moment

But he is living with Sam and Tucker in Gotham and "attending" Gotham University. They might get accs in the future but for now they just pop up on this acc with colored text.

This acc is a roleplay acc but you'll find that it's specifically a social media esc one. Occasionally I might do descriptive roleplay if the situation calls for it, but at the moment it's just Danny Phantom posting on tumblr.

Also all interactions he's had with others (Like Red Hood and Red Robin) have been over Anon (which wasn't me btw, so big thanks to those anons!). And the few interactions he's had with other Gotham accs have either been fleeting or friends, like @gothamgothic (Sorry! Hope you don't mind me tagging you!).

But I am totally open to having him interact with others more! There's just a bit of a clash most of the time because all Gotham stuff I've seen recently have been roleplay roleplays, and I mostly have him interact with social media roleplays. I'll figure it out, or something.

I've characterized him a bit oddly, I guess? He's extraverted but constantly on the move or focusing on himself / his friends. Which means he pops up at the occasional mention of ghost, but mostly finds interactions through others starting them.

Thanks! ))

Purpose

((not open rp. Written in collaboration with @timblrdrake

This is kind of a special thing because Timbler mun dosen’t necessarily like to rp on their account. I had an idea and I know them irl and we wrote it together. 

Word count: 911 words

Tw: mention of blood and violence.))

Tim was on patrol, it had been a pretty slow night but he spotted some movement in an alley and went to go check it out. 

When he arrived he saw a mugger on the ground with a knife loose in his hand and spotted movement in the shadows. He bristles, holding out his staff defensively as he approaches the obscured figure. He catches a glimpse of the light reflecting off of the lenses of Harper’s mask, familiarity un-tenses his shoulders. “Are you injured?” He asks, narrowing his eyes into the dark. Tim sees a figure hunched over in the corner of the alley. Harper retreats against the wall further, feeling threatened by his presence. The yellow eyes on her mask stare blankly at him but her body language gives away how uncomfortable she is. 

“I don’t need your help,” she says sharply, but he can see her holding her side and it doesn't take a master detective to tell she's in pain. “It seems like you do,” he remarks, stepping close enough to see the extent of her injuries. A gash through the right side of her torso seeps blood through her suit. “What do you call that? Not needing help?” he creeps closer with his hands out placatingly, “Let me get you medical attention.”

She watches him intently. “I can find my own way to a medical centre,” she says dismissively as she tries and fails to get up. The pain in her side causes her body to sink back onto the ground. “...fine…” she mutters reluctantly. 

-

The way to the safehouse is filled with a pointed silence, both Tim and Harper not willing to be the first to break it. They reach the empty apartment, he ushers Harper in through the window behind him. It’s dark and empty but seems comfortable enough. Tim gestures wordlessly to the couch as he hunts for what he needs to stitch Harper’s injuries. 

She walks over to the couch and flops down. She sinks into soft cushions, they cradle her sore body. She closed her eyes listening for Tim to come back. 

Tim doesn’t take long, returning with bandages and a suture kit. He sits himself down next to Harper with a sigh, her wound has stopped bleeding and upon closer inspection it doesn’t look particularly deep, much to Tim’s relief. Harper watches Tim as he moves. Once he starts to stitch her up she winces. Tim could feel her staring holes in the top of his head through the whole process. Once he’s done she moves away from him. She stays quiet, not thanking him in the slightest. 

“Thanks Red Robin,” Tim mutters in a high-pitched voice, mocking Harper, “You’re welcome,” He huffs when he’s met with silence. 

“You should be more careful.”

She glares at him “I don’t need advice from you when I'm picking up your slack.” 

Tim looks at her incredulously from below his mask, “Picking up my slack? Seriously?” he scoffs, “You’re screwing up my investigation, I’ve been watching those guys for days…” he runs a hand through his hair, “You have no idea what you’re doing out there.”

“At least I'm doing something! There are so many people that you guys miss, I'm trying to help them.”  she retorts. 

“So what, B and I are out there doing nothing? Do you think we go out at night just to sit around?” He stands and gestures exasperatedly, “We’re doing our best, Harper.”

“Well it isn’t enough.” she says sharply. “People get hurt. Kids get hurt. And you don't even know about it. So I made it my job to know.” 

Tim’s eyes narrow at her from beneath the mask, she can’t see his scrutiny but she can feel it. “This is about you, isn’t it. About them,” he sighs. 

She hesitates. “No- ... .You were my idol…you were the coolest thing in the world…you made me feel safe in a city that wasn’t…but when I needed you, when I called to you…no one showed up. I had to drag myself out. I had to face it by myself, And i'm not the only one.” 

Tim’s breath hitches, he's not sure how to respond to that. 

“Look, I’m sorry about what happened to you- we’re only human, Harper..”

“You should be sorry. Now I'm not going to stop. I'm going to avenge my parents, and in the meantime I'm going to pick up your slack.” 

Tim chews the inside of his lip, he chooses his next words very carefully, “Your parents’ killer is dead. You know that, right?”

That stops her stream of thoughts. “....what?” she was not aware….this was her single goal. The only thing she honestly lived to do…and now she couldn’t complete it. The killer being dead wasn’t enough. She wanted to, she needed to do it herself…and now she never could.

“How long has he been dead.. Why didn't you tell me!? You obviously know who I am. You're smart and you never thought to tell the angsty girl her life mission couldn't be completed!?” 

“How is this my fault? They died years ago! I thought you would already know!” 

“Well I didn't know!” She was having a really hard time. This news has thrown her through a loop and honestly this argument would probably go nowhere with the way her mental state is at the moment. 

Tim inhales sharply, “You should go home, Harper.”

She nods. Deciding fighting him wasn’t worth it anymore. 

[pecknoldseed]

Hey there! I have a RP related question for you! I came back to tumblr after a while of not checking it and was looking for the tumblr that had lots of screenshots of Robin's IG. I'm not sure if that was your tumblr and you renamed it? I think it was called mobofrob. Would that ring a bell? Thanks and no worries if not! Take care!

Hey, I’m pretty sure they deleted the account a while ago. It wasn’t me but I do remember the account here, I started with this one long after them

[teasemates]

something that the other does that is a pet peeve of yours (preferably a funny annoying rather than this pisses me off so much!!)? but also, since i don't want to just be negative!! something that the other does in general or for you that makes you glad that they're your room mate?? 🥺 e.g. making you a cup of coffee every morning without being asked etc etc etc

Steve: *rubs his chin, slowly grinning* Funny annoying...Yeah I got one. He often forgets his keys and then he stops by at my work ”for a coffee” but then in the end there's “can I borrow your keys, I forgot mine”. And that's fine. But then sometimes he hasn't brought back my keys and he's not home when I get off work, so I can't get in. *laughs* Luckily Robin lives just a few blocks away, I can always wait there.

Something nice... *looks at Billy, smiling* We laugh a lot. There's never a dull day here. It would be so much more boring to live with someone else.

Billy: *laughs, shaking his head* Hey, I’m not forgetting the keys on purpose, alright? *grins* But yeah, I guess that’s fair. *chuckles* But come on, that’s what roommates are for, right?

*leans back, crossing his arms, smirking at Steve* Pet peeves... Honestly, what gets me sometimes is that Steve doesn’t always think to help out around the place unless I say something. Like, I gotta tell him, “Hey, man, maybe take out the trash” or “Could you clean up this mess?” It’s not like he’s lazy or anything, but it’s just... I’m used to people knowing they gotta do their part without being told.

*leans back, rubbing his neck* It’s kinda how I grew up, y’know? At home, you just did things—no one had to remind you. So when I’m the only one picking up or making sure the place isn’t falling apart, it gets to me. And don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind doing stuff around here. I just don’t wanna feel like I’m the only one keeping the place together. *smirks and chuckles, glancing at Steve* I know Steve’s not doing it on purpose, and that’s why I don’t get mad. But sometimes it’s just... annoying having to say it all the time.

*glances at Steve, expression softening* Something that makes me glad to have him as a roommate? *pauses, thinking for a second* I gotta say, we’ve got a good thing going here. He’s always there to joke around, and he makes the place feel... I don’t know, lighter. *shrugs* We’ve got each other’s backs, and it makes living together way easier. *chuckles, nudging Steve with his elbow* And yeah, like he said, it’d be boring as hell with someone else.

Make Right (BruDick RP)

In Response to “It’s Killing Him” 

@notyouraveragedickgrayson

If Bruce had to choose a moment when things really started to fall apart, he’d say was the day he pulled Jason’s still, broken body from the rubble of that abandoned warehouse. That surreal, numbness lifting as Bruce peeled away Jason’s mask to see his face for the last time.

That’s when the pain really hit him.

It was just like watching his mother and father bleed out in an alley - except it hurt so much worse. Maybe it was because parents aren’t supposed to outlive their children… And blood or no blood, Jason was his first child.

Watching strangers lower his boy – his son – into the ground that day is what finally broke him. By the end of the funeral service, it was just him and Alfred. Like it’s always been. And perhaps that has been Bruce’s mistake – maybe this is the way things were supposed to be. Maybe this cruel act was the universe’s way of reminding him of his place. It didn’t matter how long he trained, how much he learned or how many resources he devoted to his mission, he had to walk this path in solitude. ‘… or else…’

That night, Bruce stopped fighting the darkness - the Batman consumed him.

The carnage that followed Jason’s death couldn’t be called justice. Just needless bloodshed that falling short of killing. Violence that knew no shame. Batman wanted the Joker and he didn’t care what he had to do to get him. Batman had to make him hurt the way Bruce hurt. Torture him the way he tortured Jason. And the darkness only crept in further the longer Joker hid. There was nothing left to separate Bruce from the Bat anymore, no anchor. Just all-encompassing rage and an empty pain he prayed never went away. He needed that ache more than he needed food or air; it was the only thing getting him out of bed anymore.

Bruce couldn’t blame Dick for staying away. He deserved better than an emotionally crippled, hypocrite. How could he dare hold Dick accountable for his actions towards Zucco? Bruce knew full well what would happen when he finally found Joker. Arkham wasn’t enough. Blackgate wasn’t enough. Bruce knew that, and still couldn’t stop himself. That was until a young Timothy Jackson Drake appeared at his door, venti Americano in one hand and a tablet with a litany of evidence of Bruce’s double life in the other. More than that, the kid deduced Dick and Jason’s identities as Robins.

It was strange. All the information the young man had amassed over what had to be years – the eerily familiar singlemindedness Tim displayed in his pursuit. And all he wanted to do with it was convince Dick to become Robin again. “Because Gotham needs Batman. And Batman needs Robin.” The words rolled off the boys’ lips like an obvious truth he repeated one to many times. Like all whole world’s issues were nothing more than an uncomplicated problem to be solved over a cup of coffee and a few strokes of the keys.

A petty part of Bruce expected Tim to fall apart after failing to reunite the ‘Dynamic Duo’, Nightwing making it clear that he could never take the Robin mantle again. Imagine the Wayne’s rare look of shock when Tim came down the stairs of the cave, fully fitted in an altered Robin’s uniform. And when Bruce tried to protest, Tim simply shrugged it off and told him it was Nightwing who suggested he take the uniform. Tim would just have to do until Bruce found an adequate replacement… And if he resisted Tim’s help, he’d blow Bruce’s cover right out of the water.

It’s been years since that fateful day. Bruce would have loved to say that in that, he’s gotten better over time. That he had found a way to overcome the wounded savagery that overwhelmed him. That he didn’t slip back into those dark moods and was learning to be whole after having his heart picked apart, racked with guilt, shame and fear he concealed in anger. But that would be a blatant lie and nights like this he just didn’t care enough to keep up the front.

Tonight’s patrol had been taxing for the Bats.

The night ended early with the successful sabotage of Black Mask’s weapon shipment, but the win didn’t come without a fight. Batman had no idea where Sionis found the revenue to hire the mercs he had, but there was no way the people he and Robin encountered on that freight were anything ex-military. If it weren’t for his own decades of experience and Red Robin’s help tonight, the mission would have failed.

Damien left the fight with a concussion, Bruce ordering the boy go upstairs and rest. Tim, per usual, proved more resistant to his first dismissal, but his cracked ribs and broken arm and leg won out in the end. Between that and the three days Tim spent without sleep, operating the Bat near impossible. Not at Bruce was fairing much better. By the time they returned to the cave, the man sported several burns, bruises, and gashes from the explosion. The only way Alfred could get Bruce that stay still long enough to clean and dress the wounds when Bruce was sitting at the computer, typing up the reports for tonight. That was when Bruce saw the comm flash on his screen. The call came from Dick’s encrypted number.

… But he could feel ice in his veins when he heard the voice on the call.

“It’s me.”

And Bruce knew that voice anywhere.

It was a sad fact, but because couldn’t bring himself to open-up to Tim or Damien the way he had with Jason. Bruce had let his guard down with the young man and let himself be a father to him – something he could never bare to be to Dick. He could never presume to fill the void John Grayson left in Dick’s heart when he passed. Seeing Jason grow as an individual and Robin, principled and proud in the face of adversity. It always filled Bruce with pride… Perhaps that’s why seeing Red Hood stand over a fresh corpse, baring the face long dead son left him numb. Seeing that viciousness in Jason, felt like a cruel sick joke. Bruce’s only solace in Jason death was knowing the boy he cared for so much left this world with cleaner hands then him. But seeing Jason returned from the dead to become what felt like a reflection of Bruce’s darkest hours.

I was like he failed to save him all over again.

“Where is he?” Bruce demanded, his voice low and fierce. The logical part of his brain knew better than to think Jason would hurt Dick. In fact, the only person Red Hood hadn’t reconciled with was Batman. But Bruce didn’t always think rationally when it can to his first ward. Jason knew that better than anyone….

“With me and doesn’t wanna talk.” He clarified, adjust his hold Dick’s shaking form. “I’m calling a truce, old man. Let us in.” There was the briefest pause before Bruce overrode the security protocols and allow Jason to enter the cave. Bruce didn’t know could have happen to have Jason, of all people, to knock on his door and call for a truce, but he would be prepared it all the same. In the five minutes in took Jason to traverse the tunnels to central area, Bruce had covered his injuries and erased at trace of weakness. Not that it mattered once Jason ascended the steps to his platform.

Bruce’s stoic façade fell apart the minute his eyes came upon a harrowed Dick, bundled up in Jason’s arms. It’d been months since the he last saw his former ward – the two of them not necessarily on speaking terms. In fact, he and Dick had been on the outs ever since Bruce budded in a case in in Blüdhaven, stating under no uncertain terms what he thought of his ‘partner’, Catalina Flores. The actively avoided one another ever since.

Before Bruce could demand an explanation, Jason locked his green-blue eyes with his silently warning. It was always amazing how the two of them could communicate with out uttering a single word. It was part of the reason they worked so well together. So, when Jason eyes narrowed and gestured past Bruce, the man stepped aside and waited for him on the other side of the room. Once Jason was finished propping Dick in the same chair Bruce had occupied before their arrival. Despite Jason’s best effort, Dick still slumped over the edge like a ragdoll. And he was coming apart at the seams. It’s all Bruce can do, his brain running through every possible scenario, trying to deduce a reason for Dick’s state. Jason could come to him soon enough.

“He a panic attack.” Jason finally explained, his pulling a cigarette out of his pocket, but not reaching for his zippo yet. A nervous tick, just wanting something to chew on while he organized his thoughts.

“…What triggered it?” His mentor asked cautiously, trying to understand. His former ward had attack in the past. Bruce would care for Dick through the worse of them in the beginning, whenever the boy would have a nightmare or close call. But this was the first he’s ever seen the Dick since he became an adult. He was practically catatonic.

“You.” Jason spat out, as if to apply it was obvious. “Like it or not, all of this,” Jason gestured toward Dick. “Is on you.”

Without give Bruce an inch, Jason unloaded, recounting all that Dick confided in him. The young man’s mental health was in shambles and Bruce, whether he realized it or not, had only made it worse pushing Dick away. Especially when Bruce fired Dick. The older man had to admit, he was blinded with anger the night he fired Dick and all but kicked him out of the manor. Anger, and if he were being totally honest, fear. Fear of the unknown as Dick grew into the man, he was becoming, fear for the way he was started to see Dick. Because in all the years he raised Dick, he couldn’t see him as a son. And that terrified him to the core. Bruce had only realized the terrible mistake he made when the heard the Dick pulling out of the driveway for the last time.

And then Jason and the bomb happened…

“Pull your head out of your ass, old man. Your hot-and-cold attitude might work for the ladies, but that man behind me, feels fucked up enough about wanting you without your mile-thick wall of bullshit. And I know you heard me. Now, something has to change because I am not kidding around when I say that this situation, this denial, whatever ego or pride is in the way of you two... its killing him”.

Bruce was at a loss. Looking at Dick again, he felt a surge guilt run through him. Was it his fault that Dick developed this infatuation with him? Did he somehow poison the younger man’s mind and manipulated him -

“Stop, I know what you’re thinking old man. Stop making this about you and just make this right. If either of you were as sick as you think, you won’t be so scared of this.” Jason hissed, making his way to the stairs from where he came. “He’s in your care. Make it right, Bruce.” Jason repeated, warning the older man.

Bruce waited until he couldn’t hear Jason’s footsteps, steeling himself before approaching Dick for the first time in so long. He looked so out of it. Depressed and tired and just… gone. Bruce would have given anything wrap his arm around him like he had back when his thoughts towards Dick were innocent. But right now, it wasn’t about what Bruce wanted. It was about what Dick needed.  So he knelt down on the ground before Dick so they were at eye level. Dicks eyes were downcast, but Bruce didn’t make a thing of it. Just spoke in the clearest voice he could manage, hoping that Dick would respond to him.

“Dick. Can you hear me? Do you know where you are?”

Probably Night at the Museum. Thoughts on Slender Man? Have you even heard of him? I think it's a cool creepypasta; he does look pretty unnerving with his height and especially lack of a face. The movie was good too, btw. Do you know what the Tardis is? I think almost everyone does in this generation, haha. Doctor Who ain't no joke to a whole lot of people. Are there any children's shows that you'd watch today if they were on? Sure, like Pokemon or Avatar: The Last Airbender, among others. I wouldn't at all be opposed to watching The Lion Guard, either.

Are you currently listening to anything? Yeah, kinda hooked on "The Horrible People" by Manson. I've found a lot of great music lately. Would you ever consider getting breast implants? No, but once (if...) I lose all the weight I want, it's going to be a moderate priority to get a breast lift. I've hated my body way too fucking long and am dying to be satisfied with it again, and with how much weight I need to lose, I would essentially have grandma tits. :x Do you know anyone who is bisexual? Me, haha. Among some friends. Who would you tell, or who did you tell when you lost your virginity? That's not something I'd just go to tell someone afterwards for no reason... I'd only ever mention having lost my virginity if I was actually asked or if it was relevant to a conversation. Is there something you have been trying to learn lately? I'm really trying to practice opposite action and behavioral activation, among other things I've learned in group therapy. When you think about your future career, do you envision yourself becoming the head honcho or CEO? If not, why not? Well, I want to be my own boss as a freelance photographer. In any other job, I definitely wouldn't want that. Too much responsibility and leadership skills. Can you think of a time when you seriously misjudged a music artist based on their name? I don't think so? Have you ever kissed someone that you didn’t really want to kiss (not assault, just indifference)? Why did you go along with it and how did you feel after? Yes, Tyler.

No. Eye contact is very difficult for me to maintain. Do you like peanut butter? I love peanut butter. When was the last time you had to present something to your class?

Congratulations, NAY! You’ve been accepted for the role of LAVINIA. Admin Minnie: I’ve always thought Lillian was one of the trickier characters to fully grasp, because it’d be so easy to turn her into an outline of a person and not the whole vivid picture. But you, Nay, have won me over completely. You have such a knack for characterization and nailed Lillian’s voice, that balance she strikes between light and power. The interview portion was my absolute favorite part �� I loved the way you brought her to life and the way you showed us the inner workings of her mind, heart and soul. I’m so, so glad to put Lillian into your talented hands! Please read over the checklist and send in your blog within 24 hours.

IN CHARACTER

Character | LAVINIA / lillian wen

What drew you to this character? | titus adronicus isn’t exactly the darkest of shakespeare’s works, but the storyline of lavinia in particular happens to be one that has always been brutally impactful to me. there is this absolutely fascinating dichotomy lavinia depicts through her journey in the play, one between honor & freedom, that keeps me up at night sometimes. and when it comes to lillian, that struggle feels embedded in her story just the same. regardless, i don’t know that it’s possible to not be drawn to lillian wen.

there’s a multitude of aspects that keeps me inescapably besotted with her — the foundation upon which she blossomed from child, to girl, to the woman she is; an aura of a true, chatoyant aesthete; a plot arc of sexual assault survival, used as a steppingstone towards advocacy… but most of all, i think what won out was the soul she’s got, and all the light it bleeds. there is a line in her biography that reads: “belief was a powerful thing in the wen household.” i’ve thought about that line for daaaays, honestly. it was that line that really got me with her, because i could already see it in my head: she was raised by two women—artistic, emotional, intellectual, opinionated women—and they taught her belief as a religion. she was raised to know it was the most useful weapon she could ever have in an admittedly dastardly world; faith, in herself & in the power of light, and hope, and living in one’s truth. to be raised that way, and make what she has of herself, to wind up in a loveless, strategic marriage and part of a mob? she is such an intriguing character, with such insurmountable potential for growth.

there is something about lillian’s devout optimism, which doesn’t deserve to be mistaken for naiveté, & a faith in humanity that bolsters me, reminding me a fair amount of the sweetness i’ve always adored in juliana, and how there is more than one way to be a fighter, which is exactly what lillian is. but i also think that aspect in a discordant war-time setting would be so god damn cool to play with, because it prompts questions: how far does being good get you? is anything really in black & white? what does a limit feel like? what could you break open to let the light in? i’d love a chance to find answers through an unravelling of her story.

What is a future plot idea you have in mind for the character? | 

NOTE: here’s the ever-present disclaimer that these are all merely ideas, subject to discussion & changes, able to be altered in collaboration with other characters.

{ 1 } GILDED CAGE — a corrupt, mob-allegiant District Attorney for a fiancé; there is no question that it is to a man of power her mothers have intertwined her future, seeing protection for the daughter who is their whole world in the bloodbath tainting the city that is their home. to cassian bhatt, lillian is a nothing more than an accessory. of course, she had never been raised to be a girl who emptily dreamt of an ideal love, not when there was the whole universe to fall in love with, and no end to the every day magic the people it brimmed with had to offer. but a loveless marriage? lillian has never been one to tell lies, only ever to hone an innate ability to make the truth as palatable as possible, and her prospective bond feels like one. would she still go through with it? would she ever be able to say no to two women who never let her want for anything a day in her life?

⋯ cassian is the most obvious plot for her story, so i wanted to tackle him, first & foremost. i’m almost sure that lillian won’t seal the deal; she’s come too far in life to only come so far, and wind up with a man she feels nothing at all for. however, i was reading through cassian’s biography, too, and i would be lying if i said i couldn’t see potential for lillian to both either love, or something to cause friction in their dynamic, even if it isn’t a necessarily pleasant sort. currently, i know that lillian refuses to do more than hollowly tolerate him, purely because he has been forced upon her, and her general distrust of men in the wake of her assault makes her anything but open to him. can we really deny that he’s a smart, capable, clever man, though? there could be spark. it could turn to a catalyst for growth in multiple ways, positive & negative, and i am dying to explore the many different ways their story could unfold. 

{ 2 } WHAT IS LOVE? — what if she does marry cassian bhatt? it is a possibility, after all. with the capulets, she has found a voice. she has a platform, she has causes she believes in & actively fights for, and a marriage wouldn’t bar lillian from any of that, nor would it keep her from being the precocious, curious creature that she is. and what if, after that’s done, she falls in love with someone? with her mothers never having been married, lillian never considered romantic love & legally-binding commitment to go hand-in-hand, but that does not mean it couldn’t. it doesn’t mean she couldn’t fall in love with a person she might, one day, want to be with. would she cross that line, if it came down to it? would cassian let her? would the capulets object to it, considering it is her relationship with him that has drug lillian into their fold?

⋯ this is more a subplot to the last than it is a standalone arc, but roll with it. lillian is, in a way that is one of my absolute favourite things about her, a delicious enigma of a woman. i don’t believe there is anything she couldn’t turn and look at from another side. and at the same time? i feel that she is a person who takes notions of integrity, and promises, very seriously. she is a woman of her word, at the end of the day. what would it take to blur her lines? you don’t choose who you fall in love with. you don’t choose when it happens, or how it happens. what you control is your actions, and lillian has both always believed that, and demonstrated it. so, what would she choose, in such a circumstance?

{ 3 } BEST LAID PLANS — she met cosimo capulet whilst on cassian’s arm, and it was over a glass of rosé, the man talked to her about her charity-work. he told her of the origins of the capulets’ particular brand of business: the robin hood reminiscent legacy initiated by one lucius capulet, of the revolution they had begun with, giving back to the impoverished lillian fought for as well. her mothers never would have understood how the good girl they had raised could level with a mob-boss, but lillian has, and it is how she has ended up a consultant to the capulets. but how far is she willing to integrate herself with their cause? how much of the necessary violence of a war can she truly stomach?

⋯ i told you: a dichotomy between honor & freedom. it feels like the crux of lillian’s story to me. i’ve got very strong headcanons in mind for the relationship she’s got with the capulets, purely because i would like for her relationship with them to stand on its own, as opposed to being more so reliant on the relationship her fiancé has with them. the fact that the capulets have given her a voice means a great deal to lillian, definitely more than she ever could have expected it to, and i would like to see that graciousness she’s developed drive her to make choices she might question under the lens of her own honor-code afterwards. you know me, i’m a sucker for internal conflict to drive character development, and i need it with lillian, for sure.

Are you comfortable with killing off your character? | honestly? i don’t think i could stomach lillian dying.

IN-DEPTH

♦ IN-CHARACTER INTERVIEW: 

NOTE: out of caution, i’d like to precede this portion with trigger warnings for sexual assault mention and ptsd                              

                              “benvenuti!” 

she is already greeting you before she’s quite done opening the door. welcome, is what must remind you that you are, in fact, a stranger in her house. the warmth the curve of her mouth radiates is one that seeps in through your pores; it is not easy to remember that this is the first time you’ve met signora lillian wen. you’ve heard it before: like the sun, she is hard to look at, yet her warmth is undeniable. 

“come in,” she invites, and the silken slip-dress she’s donned seems to ripple like peach-hued water when she sweeps her arm, waiting for you to step over the threshold and stand beside her, so she might match you, footstep-for-footstep.

— What is your favorite place in Verona?  

“that’s such a deliciously difficult question,” lillian enthuses, beaming, despite her brows that furrow in thought over it. favourite, after all, is no small word; she must ponder it, then, for she does so like to mean the things she says. “ – you know, i don’t know that i’ve only the one,” is what she settles on, pouring out the lemonde she’s fixed up a pitcher of herself just now. the smell of the mint leaves she’s peppered it with infuses itself in the house, and she can’t help but breathe it in, deeply, satisfied. 

“so much of this city is so very dear to me. i cannot give you a favourite between them all, not when they’ve their own charms, and my own memories attached to them,” she slides over a glass to you, ice cubes merrily tinkling within,  “but i will tell you that the oldest shall always be the home i grew up in. it was more snug than this, perhaps, yes, but my mothers made sure it brimmed with all that feeds the human soul. there isn’t a memory under that roof that does not make my heart ache with nostalgia, which, really, is the heart’s way of telling you it was worth it. don’t you agree?” 

lillian clicks her tongue against the roof of her mouth, a sound of regret that does not match the soft radiance of her mouth. 

“humble beginnings, hmm?”

— What does your typical day look like?

the living-room is far from lacking pieces of furniture, all of them as comfortable to sit in as they are to look at. you know this, because she has suggested you try each out to settle on a preference, and you’ve done it. it is only once your stomach hurts from laughter incited from such childish wonderfulness that you realise: she has broken the ice.

lillian herself sprawls out on a chaise lounge by the window, tipped on her side with her legs curled underneath herself. she looks like a mermaid. her words sound lyrical when her laughter laces them: “ah, always the same, and also never as well.”

the sip of lemonade is delicate, brief, though she tips the glass for a second, fuller mouthful when you’re sure she can’t possibly have swallowed the first that quickly. never mind –

“i like to start my day rising with the sun,” she tells you. “my absolute favourite thing about living by myself is the luxury of not having to speak at all until i wish to do so – which, of course, doesn’t take too long at all, for i might be my own fondest companion. i like to prepare my own breakfast, after; eat outside, if i want, though i rather rebelliously might crawl back into bed with a tray when i feel particularly blue. i never stay under the covers for too long, however. i simply can’t. there’s too much to do. so, i dress myself up in whatever ensemble feels the most myself that day, and set off to find another way to save the world.”

her nose crinkles when she grins. you cannot help grinning back, can you?

— What has been your biggest mistake thus far? 

unbidden, lillian’s mind whirls so quickly, her thoughts slip from her fingers like water. and she is back there, in that room, with that man. that man who smiled when she walked into the room. who smiled when he motioned her to costumery that felt divine to touch, silken & decadent. who smiled when he called her a vision. who smiled when he held her down, while she begged, when he left her on the ground.

believing that smile, she thinks.

          “ ––– signora?” you ask, tone tender, for she looks so fragile when she is still.

as if a button has been pushed, lillian seems to snap out of it – appears to back to life. there is an apology in her smile, and it feels like a shadow. the shadow darkens her words: “to call one the biggest seems like tempting fate, doesn’t it?” she wonders aloud. “such as when one says things can’t possibly get any worse, and right then, the universe shows you how wrong you were about that?”

— What has been the most difficult task asked of you? 

cassian bhatt. the syllables of his name sit at the tip of her tongue, burning, and lillian cannot say them. she cannot betray her mothers so. she knows, already, the looks on their faces would ache more—inevitably, unbearably more—than that of letting her jaw clench, and teeth grind, to keep that truth inside, until she swallows it down.

there can be more than one truth, lillian knows. she reminds herself: once, twice, three times. and then, over the rim of her glass, she smiles a smile she can mean. “that isn’t a mindset i agree with,” she states, “if you believe it is the most difficult, it might feel near impossible, might it not? that just won’t do. forget most difficult–” she sweeps it away with a wave of her hand, like a makeshift broom-limb, “–let’s only say we’ve all got our challenges, and we aren’t the most enthusiastic to rise to all of them.” 

she breathes a laugh, then. “my maman likes to remind me; mind over matter, petit fleur. i can hear it in my head already!”

— What are your thoughts on the war between the Capulets and the Montagues?

lillian’s brows crawl up her forehead. she looks so perplexed, you can’t help but wonder if you accidentally said a word wrong. her home is easy to relax inside, involuntarily, and the possibility would not be unfounded. she explains it herself, all the same, when she asks: “is it a war?”

it is difficult to discern whether the question is rhetorical or not. her head cants, and she answers it herself, “h.g. wells once wrote: if we don’t end war, war will end us.” her sip is pensive, now. “i believe that, truly. there are no winners; only those who are left in the wake of one. and so, i can only hope that is not what this is.”

her eyes are kind. “don’t you?”

Opinion on;

Character in general: Selphie is the bright, bubbly, perky typeset in FFVIII who overcomes hardship and an evil snow queen in order to save the world, play with toy trains and become president of a mercenary school - all while looking good in a stolen cowboy hat. I think. I only played Disc 1 and that was a long time ago... How they play them: See above. The Mun: Knowing little-to-nothing about them, I (once again) turn to ye olde ‘making stuffeth up.’ ... the mun also resides in a mercenary school, only there’s more pina colada’s and foosball than principal’s-who-resemble-Robin-Williams. There’s a rumour that I just made up going around that says they know the exact location of Walt Disney’s frozen head - and that it is honestly disappointing.

Do I:

RP with them: I had a few interactions with them way, waaaay back on previous incarnations of this account. S-E has been around a long time! Want to RP with them: Pft, gimme the toy-train, cowboy hat interactions. Gimme.

What is my;

Overall Opinion: At this point most people regret sending this meme to me - mostly because whatever dumb biography I write for them is just... it’s canon now. (Yes - even the Walt Disney thing.)

**Note: Mun’s answer are all to be completely honest. Don’t send url if you don’t want brutal honesty
