vivian cash deserved better

[lunarwildrose]

I was literally just thinking about how Johnny Cash - The Man in Black - was goth before goth. I guess cos I had been dreaming about my kindred spirit Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin, my actress role model) having played Vivian Cash, his first wife, in the movie, Walk the Line.

Vivian Liberto. Source: thundergrace on Tumblr

"Johnny, she writes, eventually apologized to his daughters but never to her — 'I'd have given anything to hear Johnny say (he was sorry).'"

My Darling Vivian is a documentary about Vivian Liberto, Johnny Cash's first wife and the mother of his four daughters. You can watch it for free on Tubi.

It's a very good film and it serves in part as a correction to the inaccurate, negative portrayal of Vivian in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.

The doc also sheds light on a lifestyle similar to that of musicians' wives in the 70s.

Some people like this poster on the Led Zeppelin Forum have a rosy view of the personal lives of 70s rock wives and girlfriends:

"They were all adults who chose the life they led, no one forced them. So, I have no sympathy for the wives in any way and I am sure most do not have any regrets. As Jimmy once said, "Better to live a single day as a lion, than a 1,000 years as a lamb." Somehow I believe Maureen is quite content that she was married to Robert Plant for 14 odd years instead of an unknown civil servant who came home every night and gave her a tumble once a week for the crown." -Sagittarius Rising

Each of these women did choose to be in a relationship with a music man and did experience the advantages that come with being attached to a rich & famous man.

But that doesn't mean life was smooth sailing for them. Vivian went through many of the same things rock wives like Maureen Wilson did and she had a rough time during her marriage to Johnny.

It seems most former wives and girlfriends of musicians were far from "quite content" during the time they were actually involved with musicians.

Pattie Boyd, for example, has talked about the struggles of being married to George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Eric admitted he raped and abused Pattie.

"I'd pray Eric would pass out and not touch me." -Pattie Boyd

Anecdotes showing discontentment among the wives and girlfriends of the Led Zeppelin band members & their entourage:

"Once, when he went back home to his farm on the Welsh border after a tour, Maureen came running out of the house furiously waving a copy of the English music weekly Melody Maker. A photo of Zeppelin at Rodney Bingenheimer’s Sunset Strip club with a bunch of young girls was on the front page. 'Maureen,' Robert cried, 'you know we don’t take that paper!'”

From Barney Hoskyns’ book Led Zeppelin: The Oral History of the World’s Greatest Rock Band:

“When the Jaan Uhelszki article came out, Robert called me and said, 'Oh, things at home aren’t good … my wife read the article.’"

Marilyn Cole, first wife of Richard Cole, said, "it was HORRENDOUS being a female in that environment."

Someone said that during Charlotte's relationship with Jimmy they had to take Jimmy and Charlotte's daughter Scarlet to school on occasion because "Charlotte couldn't cope."

Other examples:

John Paul Jones temporarily wanted to quit the band because he was spending so much time away from home and he didn't want his "family to fall apart."

I recall JPJ saying something about John Bonham having problems at home in the later days of the band.

Peter Grant's ex-wife Gloria is described in the book Led Zeppelin by Bob Spitz as "lonely and neglected" during her marriage to Peter. The aforementioned book by Hoskyns includes interviews with Gloria and others discussing Peter's shortcomings as a husband and father. The book also provides details of Peter's mistreatment of Gloria during and after their divorce.

---------------------------------

Comments like the one by Sagittarius Rising also disregard the social and/or religious reasons women might be pressured to or feel they should stay married even though they are profoundly unhappy. This is true to a greater extent for the 60s & 70s compared to the present day.

---------------------------------

There's one particularly tragic similarity between the Cash family and the Plant family but I won't reveal it on here.

---------------------------------

Relating to Pattie Boyd, when the subject of Robert dating and having children with two sisters comes up, I often think of Pattie talking about being surrounded by women who wanted to sleep with George when she was married to him. Pattie said she had no female friends and her sister Jenny was the only woman she could trust. George was highly promiscuous but apparently even he wouldn't try to sleep with his wife's sister.

Maureen on the other hand dealt with Robert having sex with other women and girls on the road and her sister Shirley when Robert was at home, at least during the early part of their marriage. Robert and Shirley had also been seeing each other before his marriage to Maureen.

From the Led Zeppelin biography by Bob Spitz:

"Before they left for Denmark, Robert Plant chose a private moment to approach Peter Grant and take him into his confidence."

'Mr. Grant, I've got a problem,' Robert began. 'Actually, two - I've been seeing sisters.' He explained how he'd met them near his home a few years earlier, a pair of Anglo-Indian beauties. For a time, he had lived with Maureen Wilson while also dating her sister Shirley. 'I've got one of them pregnant, but I love them equally. Which one of them do you think I should marry?'

'Oh for fuck's sake,' Grant replied. 'I think that would have to be the pregnant one.'"

And Robert took up with Shirley again around the time of his and Maureen's divorce and later had a child with her.

It seems like Maureen and Shirley were always aware of the situation with Robert and accepted it as their extremely unique arrangement. Live and let live, I guess.

I personally wouldn't be okay with it. We are talking apocalyptic territory if the idea is so much as suggested to me.

But everyone has their own set of boundaries and preferences. Maybe Maureen and Shirley really just didn't think anything of sharing a significant other. Maybe they were very permissive and passive in general or when it came to certain things. We'll never know.

Unless one of them writes a book like Vivian and Pattie did.

Vivian Liberto married Johnny Cash on August 7, 1954, after spending three years exchanging letters with him while he was in the military and stationed in Germany. The couple went on to have four daughters together, Rosanne, Kathy, Cindy, and Tara.

Vivian Beat - Banshee Musician

Starting to work on an old character concept. One of Sephs familiars/roommates, tough admittedly, Vivian avoids these duties and hyperfocuses on personal work. it does result in a a very decent cash flow, so it's let slide a lot.  They speak with a distorted autotune voice 

[unladielike]

    Though it may have been a mere coincidence Keith managed to stumble across the last volume, Vivian thinks God must have guided him to it; after all, she had been led to believe that all miracles were a result of the heavenly father benevolently watching over his children... and there was no doubt in her mind that even if Keith didn't happen to share the same views as her, he must still love him all the same. Why, in the event he would deny his existence, Vivian was all too willing to argue back he was indeed out there somewhere, but rather than do so, he would claim it was perhaps the universe's way of telling him to treat himself instead, causing her to shake her head.

    "Nah, Keefy, I'm telling you it was our sky daddy that had brought it to your attention," Vivian stubbornly attempts to coax him. "Furthermore, the universe itself is God's creation, meaning it does not have a person-hood nor is it a sentient being, making your hypothesis null and void," she then adds. ...Needless to say, it didn't seem like Vivian was willing enough to budge on her opinion anytime soon, but thankfully, Keith bringing her attention back to her own pile causes her to not dwell on it for very long.

    "Oh... yes, I have finally narrowed it down to only one series; however, I have decided to return all the other books back in their rightful places since I realized I'd likely forget to buy them at a later date... not to mention getting the employees to hoard them on my behalf would only prevent other people from being able to enjoy them to the fullest, so to that end, I have relinquished my greed," Vivian eventually informs him before absentmindedly letting her gaze drift back down towards his basket... and from what she could gather, it seemed he was planning on buying more romance oriented shoujo manga?

    Either way, it doesn't take long for her eyes to snap back up once Keith addresses her again.

    "...Huh?" came her inattentive murmur. Frankly speaking, Vivian had no idea what he had even said because the people behind her suddenly started to have a loud conversation, causing her to not properly register his words; in fact, to her, it was mere background noise, but considering Keith was seemingly on his way to the cash register before suddenly stopping, she could at least wager a guess he now wanted to pay. "Uh... sure. There's no use standing around and twiddling our thumb anyways," Vivian idly remarks, and sooner rather than later, she'll begin hastening after him.

With a sigh, Keith had basically resigned himself to adding the Kitchen Princess volumes to the basket he was dragging around. Even if he felt guilty for picking it up, Rachael herself would probably be more than ecstatic about him actually getting a book or two for himself; if anything, she'd be more than happy to reimburse the cost for him so he wouldn't stress so much about the finance part of a little extra purchase. Hesitantly agreeing, he replied, ❝ Yeah, I did. Maybe this is the universe's way of telling me to buy something for myself for once. ❞ Sure, he could be frugal to a fault, but he did spend on himself sometimes—it was just that he only bought things he needed when he needed them (or was that missing the point of indulgence as a concept entirely?).

Going back to the title Vivian mentioned earlier to redirect the focus back to the dilemma at hand with Vivian's stack of books, Keith loosened his hold on the manga in his arms, ❝ Well, it seems like you have an answer as to what to get for him then— ❞ Glancing at the rest of the pile in her hands, he gingerly pointed to the stack with his right index finger. ❝ —and you could slowly go through the rest of this pile for gifts on other occasions. ❞ In his opinion, it was much better to slowly go through a list of possible gifts to give over time rather than giving the whole list the next instance possible. Slowly gifting items from the list was both easier on the wallet and not nearly as stressful to come up with a gift for the next time one was required.

Drawing his finger back and bending down so he could carefully set the newly acquired book down into the basket he had next to him, Keith neatened the stack of his manga choices and the volume of 'What He Who Doesn't Believe in Fate Says' Rachael asked him to pick up. It was probably best he leave before he found any other titles to pick up. He wasn't even sure if he had enough cash on him today as it was to pick up these extra two volumes. He hoped he brought enough extra—it'd be a shame to have to let go of these extra volumes and risk someone else buying them up before he came back here.

As he straightened out his legs, the redhead took hold of the basket's handle. Glancing towards the front of the store where the cash registers were, the boy thought he should cut his losses here before he got caught in a similar situation to Vivian right now. Bringing a finger up to sheepish scratch his cheek, Keith averted his gaze, ❝ I think I better buy these before I find something else I like. ❞ He definitely wouldn't be able to afford a third extra volume with the amount of money he knew he had on him right now. He turned to head towards the line for billing, dragging the basket along behind him, but he stopped to extend an invitation to Vivian, ❝ you want to join me... or are you going to keep looking some more? ❞

"I Need a Raise." | Damian Wayne/Robin & Magician!Reader

Synopsis: Damian requests for a raise in his allowance and gets a reality check with how things are done. But with his secrecy on his project, Vivian decides to dig deeper and finds something that surprises her about the boy.

Damian Wayne grew up comfortably with servants doing his bidding. Sure, his grandfather and his mother would have him undergo brutal training, but after that, he would have someone to ask for anything he wanted. When he learned who his father was, Damian expected the same treatment—servants, and he gets to do what he pleases. But that wasn't the case.

Upon coming to his father's home, he found out that Bruce Wayne only had one butler and a wife who was not like his mother at all. Vivian Pryor was a normal-looking woman. A bit plain in his opinion, but for the red hair that Damian wouldn't admit was alluring, she was intelligent in her own field. Nothing like his mother at all who can do almost everything and seduce anyone she wants.

His relationship with Vivian started rocky, after a while, Damian admitted that he was being an insensitive brat then and regrets destroying the thing that meant so much to her. Ever since his apology he would wake up in the morning and water the gardens and clean Helena's stone. There was never a day when the garden was unkempt and the flowers wilted. Sometimes Vivian would be the first there and he would join her, and the two would work in comfortable silence.

That was until one morning while gardening with Vivian, Damian said, "I've asked Father about my school allowance."

"And?" Vivian asked her to focus on the garden still.

"He simply told me to ask you about it."

"And what is this ask, Damian?"

"I need a raise."

"Why, did they raise the prices in the school cafeteria? Also, isn't Alfred making your lunch for school?" 

"It's not enough."

"And what are you going to spend it on? And before you say 'none of your business', I'd think hard about who is the one asking for a raise right now," Vivian finished her work and got up to take the tools back to the shed.

Damian followed her actions and continued, "It's a personal project."

"What kind?"

"Does it matter?"

"Yes, it does."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you spending your cash on some fancy gadget for Robiin. Okay? The allowances you get daily are for Damian to use for school, Cheese Vikings, movies, or -- better yet -- savings. If you have a world-dominating project in your little plans, that needs to go with the Batman's bills."

Having heard the whole exchange while having coffee, Tim and Jason snickered, and in rare circumstances shared a fist bump. One of the few things that brings them together, is Vivian telling off the gremlin.

"Father uses his personal assets for the Batman's projects," Damian pointed.

"Yes, because your father is working and is running a big ass company to fund those projects while also keeping this big ass house over our heads."

"And what about those charities?"

"Better the charities than have the government tax you millions for being rich."

"He buys junk!"

"It's tax deduction, look it up! Also, not all of it is junk."

"You ranted to us about the clock he bought the last time that was worth two million dollars."

"Well, that was junk, I'll admit that. But, as I said, it's more of the tax thing and the front on being a billionaire philanthropist." 

Damian let out a frustrated grunt. "I don't see how this is even your concern! It's father funding my schooling and my allowances anyway! You're just the hand giving it!"

"Whoah, there, what's going on?" Dick walked up with a bag of pastries.

"When did you get here, kiddo?" Vivian greeted him.

"Thought I'd drop by when I saw these in Bludhaven. You said they were your favorite, right?"

"For that shop?"

"Yeah -- but not the point, what's going on?" Dick asked.

From the patio, Jason and Tim approached them and the former explained, "The gremlin's asking Ma for a raise."

"And from the looks of it, he's not winning the board right now," Tim snickered.

"Damian, you do know that it's Vivian who's paying for your schooling and giving you an allowance, right?" Dick said.

"What? How?" Damian questioned.

"First of all, ouch," Vivian crossed her arms over her chest. "Second, it's called having a job. And before you say something you'd regret about a professor's salary isn't enough to pay for Gotham Academy's tuition, let alone two of you are going," she gestured to Tim. "I'm not just a professor, I also work in the museum."

"Dude, she's getting paid royalties for her books which are now being sold globally and in different languages," Jason pointed out. "Ma, may not be as rich as Bruce, but she's got cash. Which reminds me..."

"We'll talk later. This first," Vivian told Jason. "But me paying for your education is not the point here. My point is, despite being the sons of a billionaire and getting to be Robin, Alfred and I want to give you a sense of normalcy. And Damian, the money you're getting daily for your allowance is above the normal rate if you ask me. If you want more money, then you're going to do it the same way we're getting money and how these three got a bit of extra. And that money, you can do whatever you want with."

"And what's the task?' Damian asked.

"Chores."

"I already do chores."

"Cleaning your bed doesn't count, kid. This is a big house and Alfred isn't getting younger. Wanna get a little extra? Get to work. I know that you got Robin's duties, but I'm sure you can find a way to do all of this. You're resourceful."

"You're not doing chores," Damian pointed out.

"Hey, gremlin, how about you walk around the place? You'd see brooms sweeping the floors all on their own," Jason pointed out.

Tim chuckled. "Yeah, Viv, next time a little heads up. I almost got a heart attack when I saw my things moving around my room."

"I didn't want to wake you. That night you didn't sleep until I had to drag your ass to bed," Vivian chuckled.

Dick snickered. "I remember the first time I saw the laundry being hung on the line on its own. I ran to Alfred, shitting myself, because I thought I saw a ghost."

"That, I did on purpose."

"Seriously?!"

"So, Damian, what do you say? Ready to be one of the normal people here and be a slave to a good paycheck?" Vivian smiled teasingly at the boy. 

"Or maybe you just don't have what it takes," Tim teased when Damian kept silent.

"Fine. I'll do more chores," Damian said and took the sheers to start gardening.

As they watched him cutting the hedges, Vivian sighed and took Jason's coffee, knowing it was black. "This takes me back."

"When? When you made each of us clean the freaking attic?" Jason said.

"And the guest rooms. Emphasis on the rooms, Viv," Tim added.

"Please, that wasn't even that bad. She made me do laundry once, and it still haunts me whenever I see a pair of black lingerie." Dick said, as he remembered the sight of the small and laced lingerie. He couldn't look at a Victoria Secret store for a while after that.

"Bruce bought it. His choice of color and style," Vivian shrugged.

"Not helping the lack of sleep headache, Viv," Tim groaned.

"I think he's plotting a hundred ways to skewer us with that," Vivian pointed out as Damian kept muttering.

"Totally," Dick snickered.

"I have a hundred ways to blow his brains out," Jason took his coffee back.

"What's with the talk of blowing brains?" Bruce appeared, all fresh from just waking up, and ready for work. "Is that Damian gardening?"

"Yup," Dick answered.

"Why?"

"He asked for a raise," Tim supplied.

"Oh, you're doing it the old-fashioned way?' Bruce leaned down and kissed her cheek. 

"Sometimes it still works."

"So, how much is he getting from this?"

"Oh right, hold on," Vivian then called out to Damian, saying, "Our average is five bucks, if you do more you might get a tenner!"

It only infuriated him.

"Hey, you're lucky! I only got two bucks!" Dick told him.

"So did I," Jason turned to her accusingly.

"Really? I got five too," said Tim.

"Lucky."

"Inflation, boys. Don't forget that."

 Bruce chuckled and wrapped his arms around his wife and savored the touch and her scent before going to work. "How did he ask you anyway?"

"I need a raise," Vivian quoted Damian.

Bruce hummed. "And I guess he didn't take this too well."

"The kid got bitch slapped when Dick told him that It's Vivian paying for tuition and giving him allowances," Jason shrugged.

Bruce chuckled at that. It was an arrangement they both made when Vivian decided to move into Wayne Manor. In their second year in the relationship, they talked about moving in together to make the commute easier and to stop going back and forth between homes, also Vivian has most of her clothes there anyway. It took a lot of discussion, with Vivian wanting to pitch with the bills or at least pay for her share, but Bruce wouldn't have it. It didn't turn into a heated argument, luckily it didn't, but it did involve them writing down on a piece of paper the shares they'll give, and Alfred as a witness, and signing. Alfred even joked about calling a lawyer to make it state official.

The agreement was, that Bruce would handle all the bills of the manor, which were utilities, groceries, and maintenance, and Alfred's pay. While Vivian would pay for Dick's education (at that time it was just Dick with them), from his tuition, uniforms, allowances, projects, and even the gas when he goes to school. She'll handle it. She even set up a college fund for Dick too! 

Aside from that, all personal expenses will be paid by each of them respectively. So, each of their credit card bills is their own. This often leads to Bruce and Vivian racing for each of their cards to pay for their dinner dates. Once, they both startled the waiter with them slamming their cards at the same time.

"And what does he need a raise for anyway?" Vivian asked Bruce. 

"He didn't say."

Vivian hummed in thought as she watched Damian work harder than he usually does when at home. "What's the ask, Jason?"

"I was wondering if I can bunk at your condo for a while," Jason said.

"What happened to your place?" Tim asked.

"And what about your room here?" Bruce added.

"Sometimes a guy just wants solitude. And my apartment is a little crowded now. B's right there. And Artemis."

"You're lucky, it doesn't have a tenant now. You know where the keys are."

"Huh," Tim had a realization and then called out to Damian, "Real estate! Viv's got passive income in real estate!"

~*~

Damian worked for the next few weeks. On weekends, he would wake up early and start with the chores, gardening, sweeping, cleaning the rooms, when he was going to do the laundry, Vivian stopped him. She didn't want any of the boys any of her lingerie after what Dick told her.

Eventually, he got nearly a hundred bucks, still Vivian didn't know what he was going to buy with that money.

So, the day he broke his routine of chores by telling his father that he needed to step out, Vivian followed him. She used the GPS that Bruce placed on their phones, and saw herself parking in front of a dog pound. 

Entering the place, she asked the reception of a boy came in and the guy just pointed to the door where the dogs were.

There, she saw Damian holding out his hands for the injured puppy that one of the workers was holding.

"You wanted to buy a dog?" Vivian asked Damian when she saw him in the pound. Damian jumped at the sound of her voice. She asked the helper to give them a minute alone. The worker scoffed and walked out of the room, leaving the two in there with the other dogs.

"I saw them taking him and I couldn't just take him or else Robin would be a thief," Damian told her. "They weren't treating him right."

Vivian sighed and approached him. "So, this is your project, huh... you should have told me, you know."

"Why, would you pay for him?"

"Yes," she answered immediately, shocking Damian. "Of course. If you want a pet, Damian, all you need is to tell us. We can talk about it as a family. Because a pet is a family discussion, especially who will clean up after the guy and train him."

"I will! I promise!" Damian said. "And you don't have to pay me too!"

Vivian sighed and brought the boy and the dog to an embrace. "You're a sweet kid, you know that? Come on, I'll get you that dog."

"But I worked so hard for his..."

"I know, and I am proud of you. So, for this time, I'll get you this little guy."

"Really?"

"Yes."

Damian looked at the dog and smiled sincerely. "Mother never let me have pets. She always said attachments to living things made you weak."

"Well," Vivian messed with his hair. "Wanna know a little secret?" Damian looked at her, intrigued. "This," she showed the gold flames on her palm. "Isn't all of my power. This is just a small part of it. I sealed my real powers to keep everyone safe."

"Why?"

"Because there's a demon who wants to use my body to get through from Hell to this world, and if he does then everyone I love will be killed," Vivian shrugged. "So, attachment and bonds... I don't think they make you weak. It's what drives you to be strong. Stronger. And just so you didn't quite catch that, you are also one of those people that I care for and love, okay?"

Damian blushed deeply and focused his gaze on the puppy. 

Seeing his embarrassment, Vivian ushered Damian to the front desk and did the paperwork for the adoption. She stuck with him the entire time and even held his hand when they had to give the puppy its shots. On the drive home, Vivian watched as Damian lovingly embraced the dog.

"So, what are you going to name him?" She asked.

"Titus."

"After Emperor Titus? He was a good ruler, you know. His popularity was won through his generosity."

"That's why," Damian laughed when the puppy licked his cheek. "Vivian."

"Yeah, kid?"

"Thank you."

"No problem, sweetheart," Vivian glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled at him.

~ Extra Ending ~

"Vivian, I'll be taking Titus out for a walk," Damian said.

"Yeah, go ahead," Vivian said, quite confused with the sudden announcement. "Anything you need before you head out? Pocket money or something?"

"No, I was wondering if you would like to accompany us. I found walking at this time to be relaxing, and so does Titus."

Everyone in the room froze and just watched Damian with anticipation. This was new. Even Bruce paused mid-sip of his coffee.

"Sure thing, sweetheart," Vivian caressed his cheek and smiled at him and Titus. "Let me just get my coat and shoes then we can head out. Alfred, can I get my coffee in a thermos? And how about some bagels to go?"

"That would be nice, thank you," Damian said. "We'll wait right here."

As Vivian left, Damian settled himself in her seat and waited patiently. "What?" He asked everyone looking at him weirdly.

"Nothing," Bruce said. "I'm glad that you both are getting along."

"Are we not going to point out that she called him 'sweetheart' and the devil-spawn didn't stab her?" Tim pointed out. "Dick needs to know about this," he got out his phone and started typing in the group chat.

Meanwhile, Jason was glaring at the boy. "How come she calls you sweetheart?"

Damian had a smug look and shrugged. "I guess we bonded last night."

"I'm ready!" Vivian came down wearing her favorite coat. After thanking Alfred for the coffee and packed bagels, Vivian kissed Bruce goodbye incase he left before they came back, and then called for Damian, "Come on, sweety, let's get that vitamin D."

Damian got down from the seat and followed her with Titus, but before he could leave, he made sure to glance Jason's way and sent a smug look. Knowing fully well how Jason took pride in being the closest one to Vivian.

Jason didn't take that too well and was about to curse at him but Alfred reprimanded him.

Bruce sighed and muttered to Tim, "At least his relationship with everyone is improving."
