Finnigan Pinto— Firejelly

Fj: uhhhmmm what???

My little guy…

A dc comics vigilante oc!!!

Pfp by @st-rbeas !!! GO LOOK AT THEIR ART THEY SO PEAK I LOVE THEM THEY ONE MY BEST FRIENDS!!!

(Open to all interactions!!! Please pester me)

Background:

Finnigan Pinto grew up in Orlando Florida. He lived with his mother, father, and brother. He started out a typical little girl, just a bit sensitive to stress. That sensitivity was frequently irritated, though. Especially when he realized more and more that he was not a typical little girl, but rather a little boy.

He tried to tell his parents once, but they didn’t understand. He didn’t try after that. He shoved it down. Hard. He would always avoid “girlish” things and move towards “boyish” things, but he never spoke anything suggesting he could really be a boy. He didn’t fight. For a while.

Things turned for the worst during high school. His dysphoria got more and more unavoidable, and the pressure to conform became unbearable. He cracked and broke and it showed how much pain he was in. Just not why.

His brother always promised to take care of him— to protect Finn and be there for him. When his brother noticed there was something wrong, his brother tried making good on that promise. He asked, and Finn took a chance again. It went worse than he ever thought it could. He didn’t even hope for much. It ended with screaming and crying, and Finn ran away to go cool down.

Really, it was the opposite of cooling down. He ran deep into the woods behind his neighborhood, then he slowed down, then he stopped, then he screamed and screamed and screamed. He couldn’t feel the ground. He could smell smoke. He could see sparks flying in front of him.

He started a forest fire. He smothered it the best he could to prevent it from spreading— so nothing other than some grass died. He went back home, quiet. He was quiet. He didn’t speak to anyone, he didn’t look at anyone. He stayed quiet, the best he could. He kept everything quiet. He thought he kept everything quiet.

Graduation was the best and worst night of his life. He was overwhelmed by the idea of being on his own, but felt like he finally had a chance to actually live.

After the ceremony, he got into a big argument with his family over all his “stunts”, and ran away. He already had everything that mattered to him stuffed into his car. Emotions still running too high, he messes up and swerves off the road. His car ends up on the beach, and he gets out to try calming himself down.

Finn was then kidnapped by an organization experimenting on metahumans. They’d been keeping tabs on him ever since he started to “flare up”, and abducted him once he was alone. He soon escaped, got back to his car, and disappeared. Everyone thinks he died that night in a car crash.

Current:

Finn lives in Star City, but he’s a national vigilante. He has a protege— someone he rescued from the same organization that kidnapped him. They were 16 then, he was 28. Feeling super parental and understanding their struggles, he adopted them as both his kid and little sibling. Most importantly, his sidekick. They live together, but they are independent.

Extra :3

His protege is @pinkfluorescentangelfish !

My blog is @angelfishjumper !

I’m making an oc to be his boyfriend HOWEVER i am open to ships in the meantime :3

Finnigan is currently… like… 36… and also… gay gay gay…

[f1nns-archival-survival]

I failed. Miserably. I found my old zippo and the next thing I know... I don't know why I thought I could do it.

[burningseajelly]

Relapse can still be a step of recovery. It can happen. Many people relapse multiple times on all types of addictions before quitting for good. That doesn’t make it a failure. That doesn’t make it in vain. You can do it, Finn.

I had a really nasty addiction at some point. I tried to shake it for a while. A few days. A month. A year. Two years. Five years. Ten. I don’t remember how long I’ve been clean for now.

You tried and you did it. Now do it again.

[mimble-sparklepudding]

Simple OC Ask List.

What emotion do you most readily associate with your OC?

Does your OC prefer the beauty of nature or the bustle of the big city?

If they had to flee a burning building, which possession would they be most keen to grab on the way out?

Is your OC more likely to be getting up with the dawn - or just heading to bed?

What changes come over your OC when they are hungry?

Does your OC have a go-to insult when people irritate them or let them down?

Where is a place that your OC will visit (or would wish to visit) when they need to feel at peace.

Does your OC have a particualr fear or phobia?

What might your OC wear if they knew they would be called upon to fight or otherwise be active?

What habit should your OC really try to break, but almost certainly never will?

[stainedglass-mentalstate]

probably unease. fear seems like an obvious choice (because her only real interactions are all with @crowsinthecornfield), but i think unease suits her overall demeanor and life way better.

i think, if she ever gave it a chance, she'd like the hum of the beach (side note i fucking hate the beach i hate sand i hate being in the ocean). She doesn't like full silence, so the crashing of waves would probably be a nice middle ground. However, she's never left gotham (other than the emergency trip to georgia a bit ago) so she thinks this amount of noise is normal.

the music box.

hm.. i don't know. tabitha strikes me as a sleep early wake late kinda girl.

she gets overwhelmed easier, and her hallucinations become a bit worse for her.

irritation: jackass, but if they let her down she likely won't insult them

would i be cruel to say crane's lab?

oh gosh, here we go: Sedatephobia, Autophobia, Homichlophobia, Eisoptrophobia (quibble's doctor this is for you lmao)

Something she can move in, but dark, unassuming. her best tactic is range attacks using her hallucinokinesis

she has a bad habit of ignoring people because she genuinely doesn't think they're there. she's so used to ignoring her mother, father, et al, that she forgets people can be real too

tag game!!

@crowsinthecornfield @first-boy-wonder @marthajo @gothams-greatest-actor @questionquery @askthenygmas @ask-doctor-quinn @ anybody else who wants to join!

obviously this was made for oc's but i think it should still work for muses

[crowsinthecornfield-deactivated]

Okay, while the easy answer is fear. But, I would also say a profound sense of loneliness. Even when he is surrounded by people, and even if he allowed himself to be loved, I don't think that Jonathan would ever be able to shake the feeling of exclusion that was so thoroughly instilled in him.

He hates them both equally, though for separate reasons.

The building and burning and everyone that he even marginally likes is already out of it and safe? Let it burn, then. Let it get reduced to rubble. Let him burn with it, for all he cares.

Heading to bed. He defiantly works late into the night, because that's when everything else is silent enough for him to think.

...counterproductively, he vomits, probably. Or feels nauseous. Or, in general, will do anything in his power to not eat anything, and get sick if he tries.

"Bless your heart."

You can find him on the rooftops of buildings. During every single stage of his life, he will always head up onto a roof when he needs peace and quiet and a break from it all.

:)

His gas mask. He actually carries it around with him with the specific purpose of putting on the Scarecrow's face whenever he has to fight or kill.

Oh there's so many, it's not even funny. The only reason he quit smoking is because he physically could not inhale the smoke anymore. The only reason he quit injecting his toxins is because they didn't work anymore. He has a fun habit of being very easily addicted to things, and only quitting when the universe forces him to.

1. It’s hard to say but I think glee is really shining through recently. Mari was created with the whole ‘if you love your job you’ll never work a day in your life’ idea, and although they are going through their rebellious phase, this still holds true in their identity as Merrymaker. They also have an underlying sense of guilt. They often play it up, claiming that they’re a ‘bad person’ without making any real change to their behavior. While they put on a show, never losing the mask of Merry even in their day to day life, they fall asleep stewing in the shame of knowing that normal people don’t do what they do.

2. Big city all the way. Mari is a born and bred gothamite through and through and I can’t see them living anywhere else.

3. Their mask.

4. Heading to bed. They push themselves to the point of exhaustion and spend late nights in the lab.

5. Not really. They’re normally pretty good about remembering to eat but sometimes they get absorbed in their work and forget. Even then they just get a little irritated.

6. Good old strung together curses (“mother fking btch ss little sht”) or condescension (“aw, how quaint”)

7. Libraries and rooftops are their safe places

8. Atychiphobia, Haphephobia (specifically being touched by strangers), Mysophobia, to name a few

9. Their mask, obviously. One of the versions of their costume with pants.

10. They often wipe their hand clean when touching a stranger. They tend to disappear for long periods of time without warning. They pick at their cuticles and hems of their clothes.

If it is considered an emotion, i would have to say suicidal ideation. This man is desperate for the sweet relief of death. Other than that, I would def have to say YEARNING. He is wildly discontent with his life and is forced to forever want to go back to his position of being undoubtedly dead, but unable to through ✨🧚magic!!!🪄🦄 this man is so tired please help him succeed

He grew up in the city, died (multiple times) in the city, so hes definitely used to the bustle of it. He would go insane with how ironically lifeless it is in nature. No car honks or angry drivers, no people talking. Nothing. Empty.

It would depend HEAVILY on whos with him and what building hes in. If its his apartment, its his cash. If its his garage shop, its his paperwork and reminders. He needs to update his customers ASAP if his goods are destroyed. #customerservice

More likely to be heading to bed at dawn. Lots of his work happens during the night where multiple people wont be screaming about a walking corpse making its way downtown. Walking fast. Faces past and theyre home bound 🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶

While he doesnt get outwardly hangery, his more petty and spiteful side does come out. Hes not sarcastic by any means, but its incredibly obvious his niceties are becoming more of a forced facade to cover up his emotions than genuine. He also gets sort of restless. He lowkey has an obsession with keeping his physical self is top condition (peek no 8 ;) )

Not particularly! He does his best to not insult people, any person can be a potential client after all, and anything that does come out to indeed insult someone when hes irritated, is made on the spot and personalized to the current situation / knowledge of the other person.

The graveyard, though he tries to limit his personal trips to them— simply to separate his business endeavors and his outright yearning. Otherwise, he enjoys laying down in the dirt and feeling the soil encase his hands as he digs them in.

He very greatly fears seeing his mind deteriorate before his body does. He doesnt want to get old, what with all the neurons and brain processes dying before you do. A dead man walking. An unthinking corpse whos heart hasnt rotted with yet. (This shit abt to be SO ironic to me. Not to him tho)

Loose clothing. He already has to be pretty active in his work to dismember corpses, so what he is normally wearing.

He should really break out of constantly wearing his mask. What started as a simple protection and safety measure became a sense of security. The more he indulges in wearing it, the more he reinforces the want to hide his face away.

1. for such a dramatic man, he's typically associated with apathy in my head. (it's definitely because i don't care much from cabaret is on his playlist). chance is so used to being detached — it's easier to be. it's safer to be. but he also knows the value of connection... luckily, he's a good actor.

2. city any day. there isn't any business (or attention) to be found in the serenity of nature. unfortunately, he's never been very outdoorsy either.

3. assuming the cabaret is burning: the cabaret girls! (JOKE. hmngh. ... :[ ). if we're assuming his cash is nice and safe in another location as it usually is, i'd def say his lucky dice. they're basically always on him though...

4. given his schedule, he's basically always up. but he's grown a little nocturnal because of his business. everything to manage is at night, so why not sleep through the day? if he's up during dawn, he has something to attend to or plans for the day. if he's asleep, don't even THINK of disturbing him. unless your one of his girls.

5. he doesn't actually have the greatest sense of knowing when he's hungry. he operates basically the same... but interally he's like "THE WORLD IS ROTTEN AND FESTERING WITH AWFUL THINGS. WHY DO WE CONTINUE ON. ooh, lunchtime?"

his internal woes become much more loud.

6. "This time without the mistakes! :)" i'd kill him. he says it in a tone that almost makes it sound encouraging but the smile doesn't reach his eyes and his jaw is a little too tight... yeah, the cabaret boys are a recipient of this line a lot.

7. he feels safest in the dressing room of his cabaret. la fleur de lotus is always a haven for him, but i think enjoys having time for himself, either dramatically laid on his favourite chaise lounge or sat in front of the vanity.

8. no particular phobias, but an extreme fear of flying. always about living that high life until a plane is involved. he just hates it. inconvenient, considering he moves around a lot!

9. the same things he's always wearing! what, you think this man is practical?

10. too many! gambling maybe. he may have quit with blackjack and poker, but nothing really stops chance from toying around with his own life or the lives of others. no one's ever going to get him to stop treating his life like a big game of roulette. he gets too bored otherwise.

1. Euphoria. It’s super complex— it can come from a bunch of different things, but it’s really just feeling good. He lets negativity wash off of him— mostly because he genuinely can’t be bothered to remember things that upset him… my silly guy. High energy or low energy, he’s just a chill happy guy. Can you tell I love him.

2. He’d rather a nice in between where he can enjoy civilization and stuff but also take a short break to float around in the ocean. He thinks both are nice. Anywhere that’s too busy or too quiet annoys him.

3. All that shit can burn as long as Angel’s okay. He doesn’t care about shit except Angel and maybe their stuffies cuz he knows they’d be sad without them.

4. His ass is asleep by 9pm. He gets cranky if he’s tired so he just gives in and goes to bed.

5. He gets so groggy and he can be so mean. “Please fuck off… so respectfully… go suck a dick…”

6. Loser. Just loser. If he’s really upset he’ll call you a big loser.

7. The beach. He’ll let the waves knock him around a while and pick up trash a while.

8. Just simple things like losing his loved ones. His worst fear is Angel disappearing or dying.

9. His stupid ass costume I have to post here…

10. His ass is always napping… he sleeps so damn much… wake up hoe…

[burningseajelly]

Guys I was wrong I might be in love

Don’t tell Angel

They’re gonna make fun of me

[burningseajelly]

Woke up and immediately demolished a concha in 30 seconds then went back to bed

No respect no self control….

[pinkfluorescentangelfish]

I think Finn is in love… ˎˊ˗

They’re going to get married and run away together… ༉‧₊˚.

[burningseajelly]

IM NOT IN LOVE WITH ANYONE??? IM NOT GETTING MARRIED TO ANYONE???

[burningseajelly]

Shipping my coworkers who are already in a committed relationship

Shoutout Green Arrow and Black Canary

I will never stop giggling obnoxiously when ya’ll kiss <3

Ten more years and I’ll still be going “awwww”

We work in the same city. You can’t escape me. You haven’t yet, and you never will.

[burningseajelly]

My kid!!! Look at my baby… when they were still a kid… like… 9 years ago…

I used to be young— and I’m still young— but I am so old…

Don’t ask what my costume used to look like.

This is true, yes. Thank you for acknowledging my child’s awesomeness.

She’s home

She’s safe

My kid’s okay

- @burningseajelly

Oh thank Goddess. Did she come back on her own or did the officers find her?

[burningseajelly]

She came back on her own. Apparently there was something— spectral or mystical maybe about where she went? That’s why nobody could find it? Swear I’m not under the influence. Whatever happened— she’s safe.

[f1nns-archival-survival]

That’s good, I guess. Just keep an eye on her— magic is a very unstable force of nature, and not everyone who uses it has humanity’s best interest at heart.

Just don’t ask how I know all that— I uhh read a book on it once. Somewhere.

[burningseajelly]

Alright. Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep it in mind.

Take care of yourself, buddy.

THANK FUCKING GOD!!!!

MY KID’S HOME!!!!!

THEY’RR SAFE!!!

Everything is still weird as fuck but I have my KID

There’s some low key mystic shit going on and stuffs is just a little bit different— but I literally like don’t even care. As long as it works out. As long as my kid’s okay.

Whatever’s going on, we’re figuring it out together. Everything’s gonna be okay.

[burningseajelly]

Cleaned up the trailer real nice so it’ll be good for when Angel comes back…

I don’t know what to do anymore. I need something else to do. I’m going hard into research and testing and building and investigating— I’m always either in the field or in a lab, but it’s not enough.

They’re not even letting me out on the field as much as I want. I got in a… personal fight— I have a real bad black eye, and they think it’s like enough to say I should be out of commission…

[f1nns-archival-survival]

Heyyy other Finn, buddy… how are you doing..?

- @burningseajelly

Doing alright, not much going on. You doing okay?

[burningseajelly]

Honestly I’ve been a lot better, but I’ve also been worse..!

There’s a lot going on, but I’ll live… probably…

[f1nns-archival-survival]

Did something happen? You can tell me.

[burningseajelly]

My kid is gone, and I found out my ex from high school uses memories to torture people.

Just another day on the job amiright..?

[f1nns-archival-survival]

Do you want me to request a search team from GCPD? I dunno, ask the commissioner to put up that signal??

[burningseajelly]

I’d appreciate that… thank you.
