okay so ! i’ve decided i am going to move blogs and i’m going to get started on that after work tonight. honestly, not a lot will change. i don’t plan on reworking my graphics as i’m pretty happy with them, i just a bit of a clean slate/fresh start to feel a bit more mentally healthy

i will be putting more of a focus on established dynamics going forward and will be following those i have plotted with and have threads with as a priority. however, that doesn’t mean i’m not open to new dynamics! please do feel free to follow me on the new blog even if i don’t follow you first. alternatively if i follow you and you’re not interested anymore please feel free to softblock. i want this to be a comfortable place for me and for you <3

i’m planning on carrying over most of my drafts but none of my inbox. i love what i have going and having muse absolutely isn’t the problem, as i said this is about me feeling more mentally comfortable in my space. i would love to get new things started! edit: if you have a draft for me that you would like to keep going please do! just make sure to tag me in it so i don't miss it

overall i might change how i format, such as going back to using small text for threads, just to feel a bit more cohesive.

lastly as i move i will reach to my mains/exclusives/affiliates to see if you’re interested in carrying this over. i very much am! however i don’t want to hold anyone to anything, especially if you no longer feel that my portrayal compliments yours. there will absolutely be no hard feelings if you decide you want to break any of these agreements! it’s all love from me.

thank you all for baring with me through my various slips and falls with my mental health recently. all your kind words and, honestly, just putting up with me have been super appreciated! hopefully this is the step i need to get back to feeling more normal here <3

❝ no, absolutely not. this is a terrible - ❞ but there's no finishing her sentence. barbara feels the press of lips against her cheek and the rush of wind pulling at her hair. kara is nothing but a blur of red, blue, and gold as she, literally, flies from the clocktower. a huff of air escapes from barbara's lips as she turns to her screens. at her proximity they flash to life, showing various images from around gotham. outside her tower, the imposing wayne manor, a flower shop baring the name sherwood florist, and a somewhat unassuming street in the sister city of bludhaven. oracle likes to keep an eye on her friends.

❝ kar - supergirl. this is oracle, do you read me. ❞ at least she's managed to zone in on her location as she speeds across the rooftops of gotham. the city's cameras can barely keep up, but the blinking red dot on the map to her left shows supergirl's progress. ❝ you're coming up on the location now. ❞ a few clicks of her keys brings up images of abandoned offices on the edge of old gotham. the building crumped in the earthquake, deemed unsafe and left to rot. until their newest cyber criminal moved in. ❝ for the record i think this is a bad idea. we barely know anything about them. ❞ she knows they're a terrible hacker - having tried, and failed, to hack her oracle systems. but they know about her, and that's enough to put them right in the middle of her radar. ❝ just be careful, okay? if they're smart, and i think they are, they'll have protected themselves, and i won't be kissing anything better. ❞

barbara gordon and being so terrified that if she isn’t in control that she or someone she loves will come to harm. and being so scared of being vulnerable that she so rarely lets people in, that she holds back, that at times she comes off as cold and guarded. and being so insecure that she looks for flaws everywhere; in her work, in her relationships. she’s trying to find the problems, even if there aren’t any, before she gets hurt. trying to do damage control before there any damage occurs. barbara gordon and being a mess but in the most kind, caring, and loving way

Okay, but you know that Barbara isn’t a flat “girlboss” right? You understand she has complexities and flaws and values? You understand that her obsessions over control are born from how a single random incident forever changed her life? You can write about her as more than just a voice in someone’s ear radio? You understand that Barbara’s pragmatism and her loving heart can coexist? That this woman orders a bunch of superhero plushies? Can anyone hear me?

" hnh, " he finds himself struggling to stand, lowering himself onto a nearby chair. " got a bit careless, too far from the batcave. " slow, steady breathing. " give me a second... be out of your hair in a minute, oracle. "

❝ you're not going anywhere anytime soon, bruce. ❞ her tone is matter of fact. in her hand a freshly restocked first aid kit, one she'd only just put away after the last visit from an injured bat. barbara's patched them up all in her time. not bruce, though. there's a first time for everything. ❝ alfred's on his way. in the meantime you're gonna have to put up with me, and my bedside manner isn't half as nice. ❞ she holds out a wad of cloth, instructing him to hold it against the wound. ❝ what happened? ❞

[ioracle-arc1]

if barbara was to get married she would absolutely keep her name but i do think she would find a way to incorporate her partner's name too. i'm leaning towards not double barrelled, though any children they might have would likely have a double barrelled surname, but more styled as an extra name. barbara name gordon. keeping her professional achievements tied to the gordon name but also honouring her love and their family

it took him a couple minutes to get the hang of it, but clark prevailed in the end. figured out the ins and outs of the soft and the hardware pretty easily  —  way more than one would usually give him credit for, but then came the tougher part. the communicating with the gothamites part. not as easy to master, and he suspects that it may be a skill forever outside his grasp.

luckily, barbara awakes at a quiet hour. looking over his shoulder, clark greets with a bright smile an encouraging thumbs up. good on you for sleeping sort of thing. " hey, no problem! it's been fun. " optimism speaks louder here. swiveling the chair around so he faces her completely, clark rests his hands over his knees. " you look well rested now, at least. i'm glad to see it. " sincere as ever, though his disposition falters at the mention of the night. " not really. well, not as far as gotham goes, at least. but i gotta tell ya, babs —  it's been tough doin' the talking part. i mean, every time i said please or thank you to anyone, i got weird responses. "

[ioracle-arc1]

it's been fun. the remark earns the rise of an eyebrow. while they may have the same impeccable taste in period dramas, barbara would wager that their ideas of fun were much different. ❝ i hope they let you off easy. ❞ though, at least it wasn't quite the horror show she was expecting to return to. no sign of tears or tantrums. perhaps the city, and it's protectors, had been kind to superman after all.

hand covers her mouth as a snort-like laugh escapes her throat. she can only imagine the confused look on batman's face. ❝ what can i say, we gothamites don't quite have those metropolis manners. ❞ she approaches her screens, fingers running across the keys. no alerts. it's early enough that the majority of gotham's most wanted have turned in for the day. a few confused messages from her allies and agents pull at the corner of her lips. oracle, you sounded different tonight - do you have a cold? ❝ well, seems like you did a pretty good job. next time i have a hot date i'll give you a call. ❞

no matter how hard you work, it won't bring them back.

do you realize how crazy that sounds?

i'm not stopping until this is done.

you need to slow down.

i feel like i'm wasting my life.

did you really have to interrupt like that?

i'm not budging.

it's my life's work.

working yourself to death isn't going to fix anything.

i wish you would take some time to rest.

i'm not taking a break, if that's what you're asking.

you just broke my concentration, thank you very much.

i'm not going to bed.

i don't know how to quit.

i can't disappoint them.

you need a vacation.

i wish you would just listen to me and slow down.

your eye bags have eye bags.

all right, that's it. i'm putting my foot down.

no more excuses.

without my work... i'm nothing.

no one else is going to step in.

i don't care about me. i care about them.

we have unfinished business.

if i stop now, it'll be like giving up.

i'm a perfectionist. it's in my nature.

better to pour myself into my work than something else.

i wish you would go easy on yourself.

this is very unhealthy.
