It's one day late, but happy birthday to me.
Sorry I've been busy, guys. If anyone's still reading this, I'll update you all on this as soon as I can. Right now I've got this invasion to take care of.

āOMIGOSH!ā
Ugh. That costume wasn't exactly one of my proudest moments. That said, I'm very proud of Cassie.
Check out the Cat-Jet!
Wow, that jet may be even cooler than Wonder Woman's.

Letās address the fallacy that a capacity for empathy is a necessary quality in a friend. A narcissist may also be a valuable companion.Ā

Reblog if you create infinite numbers of stories for your character in your head that never get written or rped
So many ideas, so little time T^T

So, I was just talking with a friend of mine, and I came to a realization. We were talking about RP stuff, and specifically about our respective characters. As we were talking, I began to realize that there was a lot of my friend in the...
[Why Donna? Fittingly enough, it's a long story. I started out RPing because of my best friends was into it, and he introduced me to his RP friends, including the author of the thoroughly excellent Goddess Correspondence, who had a lot of fun interactions with people on Tumblr in-character as Lydia and Elana. Lydia basically took over my main blog for about a week. I wanted to make a post in character as a cosmic being explaining what happening, and I went with Donna. I decided it would be fun if I started a similar project myself, and that's how this tumblr started.
So what drew me to this character? Well, first of all, I like working with characters/ideas that are challenging and weird and hard to pull off. Untangling Donna's infamously convoluted history and figuring out what it was like for her to experience it (including the "sum of all her pre-Crisis selves" retcon and her role as multiversal historian, which were revealed in the leadup to Infinite Crisis and then pretty much ignored), definitely falls under that.
She also lies at the intersection of lots of things that interest me--parallel universes, cosmology, the Titans, the Wonder family, and continuity. I am a Medieval lit major, so I like tracking really complex history. The great thing about Donna is that she allows me to look at the weirdest, most cosmic elements in the DCU from a relatable, human perspective.
And that perspective is what I really came to appreciate when I roleplayed the character more. I wound up RPing in another context for a while--which is part of why I was away for so long--and I got involved in a ton of pointless drama both IC and OOC. I wound up making Donna my main character instead of the one I originally created for there, which turned out to be very helpful. I have a tendency to overwhelm people and try too hard to take control of the situation. Donna is much better at just listening to people and being attentive than I am. She can handle the most painful, convoluted and just plain weird situations with compassion and grace.Ā It's hard to write a character like that and make them interesting. It's easy to dismiss Donna as boring or too perfect. That's another challenge I appreciate.
Of course, I'm not 100% happy with the way I've been doing things. I meant this Donna to be part of a specific story, which I'm still working on. I wanted to take this character, who's been mainly important as part of other peoples' stories, and find what her own story would be. I'm still working on that story and I'm pretty happy with how it's going, but I don't want to be limited by this status quo. It's very interesting and I've had fun exploring it, but it's also very limiting--not just in terms of what she can and can't do, but in terms of being what John Seavey called a "false status quo," a storyline that has to be inevitably resolved one way or another, leading to frustration when it's dragged out. I have a definite end point for Donna's storyline, but there might be other ones. As I get to interact with more people, I also mean to start more AU threads that aren't connected to it at all. (After all, Donna has always been entangled with continuity problems, and she even originated as a continuity error.) That's why I changed the name of this tumblr that's not connected to that specific context. And even within that context, I figure that now that she's settled in, she'd want to go with a name that's hopeful and affirmative.
Obviously, it's a reference to "Who is Donna Troy"--the title of one of her definitive stories, and a question that keeps coming up again and again in her history, as her backstory got repeatedly retconned. But another part of the reason her identity is so hard to figure out is that she's so thoroughly connected to other characters that it's hard to figure out what her own niche is. But I guess that's what that is--being one of hte central nodes in the dense web of interconnections that defines the DCU. In many ways, she embodies a lot of what us longtime fans love about the DCU--the connections, the history, the warmth and humanity and hope that seems desperately missing from what it's become. I think she's a great character and she deserves to be remembered.]
PSA: donnaphantom is now iamdonnatroy
I'll be writing a post explaining the reasoning behind the name change in a bit, just wanted to let you know.
((please reblog this if you dont mind rping with ocs))
//If you donāt reblog and youāre an OC blog. Iām judging you right now.
basically anyone who really shames people for buying their kids shoes or for buying themselves a manicure while poor doesnt understand poverty
poor people often have a lot of disposable income, more than you think, cause they live on cash
they often do not have any means of transforming that cash into assets or into longterm wealth
so yes i had a lot of toys and nice things as a poor kid because you can buy toys at the dollar store too
and like you can pay a lady 10 dollars in cash to do your nails professionally
but you really cannot scrimp, at least not anymore (maybe decades ago you could) to buy yourself a house or to invest in stocks or other things that guarantee financial protection
poor people are liquid- thats why they may have material goods including nice cell phones but they broke ass will always be brokeĀ
hell, even banks and financiers EXPLOIT the liquidity of poor people; cash advance places in the hood and the proven empirical facts that cash deposits from banks in low-income neighborhood go towards major investments and are used as liquid assets by big businesses
keeping poor people in cash and banks in poor neighborhoods are major transfers of wealth in this economy
so please spare me your policing of some lady who decided to get some shoes
āI know, I pick up the roles other actresses donāt want. When thereās movies where there are two sisters and oneās the uglier sister, thereās always no actress that wants to go for it. Iām like, why not! Theyāre the best roles!ā
If they ever have a Wonder Woman movie in your world, I know who should be Etta Candy.
