PSA

I wanted to apologise to my mutuals and followers for my absence over the last week and a half.

While I regularly work six to seven days a week, the last couple weeks have been especially overwhelming.

Between my girlfriend having a scare with her grandparents and my best friend losing her younger brother, I wanted to let you all know that I have not forgotten all of my lovelies and I will be back in full force on Monday.

I chose to take this weekend as a mental health weekend and will be back online following, so please feel free to reach out if you are starting to feel neglected or want to start a new thread when I get back.

But also, and most importantly, if you or anyone you know are suffering from depression, please feel free to reach out and seek help. If not from your friends and family, at least from the many helpful folks over at the suicide prevention hotline.

Too often those afflicted are afraid to reach out because there is a stigma of weakness, and I want you all to know that finding assistance in your most difficult times is truly strength at its finest.

So I will leave the number for you and those you love here: 1-800-273-8255.

And I will see you all next week.

Lots of love, always,

Bat-Mad

(about dinahbabs) also comic writers very rarely write well known characters as gay and when they do they are usually thrown into comic limbo because they're homophobes so of course they wouldnt let them be gay

 [ OOC.     I don’t know which post you’re referring to, probably this one, where i say i don’t ship Dinah/Babs as a romantic/sexual couple. 

Which is only my opinion, && free to anyone to feel any other way towards Dinah && Babs. 

As for this blog, which is a roleplay blog, I write Dinah my own way && heavily influenced on what Gail stated at some point : 70% straight, 30% gay, && my post about Dinah’s sexuality is here.   While I don’t rp Dinah && Babs romantically together with any of my Babs partners, I do have a few gay ships such as DinahZee, or DinahKate ( all based on chemistry && development for a year now ). Just in case anyone thinks Dinah is straight or the mun is against some LGBTQ muses. I’m totally open to anything, as mentioned in my post. 

However, I won’t say much more, because my opinion is already explained, but long story short for canon, I never felt like Dinah or Babs ever wanted to put the other in their bed. I see them more like Cristina && Meredith from Grey’s Anat.omy. They are each other’s person, && their bond is REAL && STRONG. It’s a very deep connection. && even if Ollie is a jerk on the past issues ( mainly pre 52 ), he’s Dinah’s true love, just like DickBabs. 

BUT Gail explicitly said that she wanted Dinah to be Bisexual, && even wanted to include a quick mention about Diana with Dinah in one of the issues ( i don’t remember which one sorry ), && DC basically removed it. So there might be something, indeed, i don’t deny it but maybe nothing related to Dinah && Babs in particular. 

But there are also a lot of LGBTQ characters more && more, new ones so I wouldn’t say they are homophobes, they just won’t change a very long && built friendship for a romantic relationship, when they can create new characters && new relationships. ( not sure it makes sense but i tried ? )   ]

Night Out

( @blackwingsbluedings )

“Jesus, Dick- are you drunk right now? This is exactly why I don’t like you going out with your co-workers before meeting me and Dinah at the bar.”

“Bruce-”

It was clearer now than ever that the passage of time had not been kind to the lasting members of the bat-family. Memories of Batgirl shone in her rearview as brightly as Jason’s death, and Richard’s move to Bludhaven. 

While their family had continued to grow in the years to follow, Barbara’s eidetic memory had not allowed her to forget, for a single moment, the hardships they had all faced. Steph, Cass, Tim, Damian... while the original Batgirl and Robin had paved the way for their predecessors, that did not mean life had proven any easier for the current generation of vigilantes. 

And after the many years she had spend rebuilding herself after her ‘accident’, no, fuck that- after her murder, here was Bruce Wayne, mentor and guardian, offering her a solution. Not a great one, mind, but a solution nonetheless.

She should have known. 

Bruce had been so riddled with guilt following her paralysis that she scarcely saw him without provocation. Their comm-link partnership had seemed to suit him just fine. It was easier, she knew, than having to see her live out her days in the damned chair.

As it turned out, Mr. Wayne knew a guy (didn’t he always) who happened to be at the forefront of his field in spinal surgery- and Bruce wanted to offer her the opportunity, however slim, to seek his counsel for herself.

But to be faced with such a choice... 

She could scarcely breathe. 

If she saw the man and things went well, perhaps she could regain some mobility in her legs. On the other hand, if she saw the man and things went poorly, she could die- or worse, end up with less mobility than before. 

Or she could choose to forget the idea altogether, and be content to live as Oracle, cyber-defender to Gotham and beyond. 

Then again, there really was no choice to be had.

“Let’s do it.”
