Obsidian Blade

This is an independent OC RP blog. It is set in the main DC universe. (pre-New 52) I will happily do other universes. Just ask. (See title for character name. See the character bio page for character details.) I'm a little new at this, so cut me a little bit of slack, please. I am a very friendly, if somewhat sarcastic, person. I don't bite, so feel free to talk to me. Any and all advice about how to role play better is more than welcome. I'm open to at least trying to RP with almost anyone who wants to, but please keep in mind that I am only fifteen, and my muse is sixteen. I'm okay with non-platonic relationships, but absolutely no smut. Ever. I don't care how old you are. Thank you, and have a nice day.

I just read this super sad post about this girl who’s asexual and married and everyone is basically telling her that she doesn’t deserve her husband/she’s just a prude/she should just do it anyway. So I want to tell you all right now that if people tell you this, or if they tell you you’ll never have a relationship, it is BULLSHIT. My husband is asexual and I’m not. He’s sex repulsed, we don’t have sex, we never have. And it doesn’t matter to me. You know what does? He does. His mental health and wellbeing matter to me. Because he is my best friend and he’s one of the smartest, kindest, funniest people I’ve ever met. And he’s had people tel him that he’s broken and it makes me SO ANGRY because they are WRONG. Being different doesnt mean you’re broken. If you don’t like sex/don’t want it/etc. Do not let anyone tell you that you’re inferior because you’re not. Do not let anyone convice you that you’ll never have a relationship because they’re wrong(if you want one). You are not broken, and it will be okay.

This made me feel really good. Remember this, for all my ace spectrum friends out there

[auditorycheesecakes]

#it’s really reassuring to hear from the partner #the one who’s not ace #but is totally cool with having no sex #loves her husband anyway #is in a stable and happy relationship #it’s such a relief when you discover that asexuality is a thing #that you’re okay #but then you start to wonder if it means your only chance at not ending up alone is finding someone else who’s also ace #but no #turns out it’s not #that’s really good to hear #so #thanks #so ace #so space

I hope you don’t mind me reblogging your tags but these are my feelings EXACTLY

I’m always a little nervous that I’m not “good enough” for a “real relationship” because sex isn’t on the table. So yeah, these stories are reassuring

[intj-confessions]

The amount of pressure from society to have sex is incredible. We’re told it’s linked to relationship health and if you’re not willing to do every damn thing you’re labeled a prude. It’s incredibly disheartening, especially considering how one’s libido can change over the years even if you’re not ace. Nice to see a supportive piece from a partner.

a team of magical girls, each granted powers based on their obscure music genre of choice

[myrtenaster]

but no can you imagine like the main char who’s p much a giant nerd who plays vidya and knows nothing about music just that she likes video game music except she discovers her powers based on 8bit and gets recruited into the team at first she’s the weakest of them all w/ her powers being p much basic pew pew lasers but she’s fast and doesn’t need a lot of windup before she can go at it and that’s really important because her teammates need her to distract the enemy to buy time for them to compose their melodies (and then she discovers her latent powers to p much emulate the abilities from any video game whose ost she’s memorized) then there’s the classical chick whose weapon is a conductor’s baton and you’d think she’d abhor fighting and be all elegant and shit when really she just revels in epic orchestras and is tossing everyone into walls w/ the beat of the drum and there’s just so much violins (lol pun) when she’s involved also the strategist who doesn’t really fight which is fine b/c her analyzing is bomb, but then when the battle gets serious she just spends half the time standing around on the sidelines posing or w/e and 8bit’s freaking out b/c ‘wow we’re getting our asses kicked here what do you think you’re doing’   but then classic goes ‘now!’ after luring the opponent into position and the bass just fucking /drops/ and suddenly the brainy tactician is just battering and pounding away w/ dubstep

Here’s what’s been going on with me...

So I have chronic depression (Dysthymia) as well as reoccurring episodes of MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). And for the past two or three months I’ve been trapped in a very bad episode. I haven’t been eating much, or sleeping much, or even getting up most mornings. I feel awful, I haven’t been getting anything done, and I’ve just in general been being a waste of space. And even before this episode I was kind of spiraling down into it, and I was stressed out and miserable. I’m seeing a counselor, but it’ll be a while before I get anywhere. So yeah. That’s why I just kind of dropped this blog. Sorry to everyone who RPed with me or just liked reading my stuff. I’ll pick this blog back up when I’m out of this episode, but I thought I should tell you all why I dropped it in the first place. (I know, I know, it’s been a very long time. I just finally got to a place where I feel like I can say all of this and not have everyone yelling at me to get over it.)

Recovery

Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!

Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!

Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!

Expectation: Hey, I think I feel pretty good!

Expectation: I guess that means I'm normal now! Time to go live a normal life!

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

Reality: I feel terrible.

Reality: I still feel terrible.

Reality: Is this seriously "recovery?" This sucks.

Reality: I don't want to be thinking about all of this shit, this is exhausting.

Reality: I guess today's not so bad.

Reality: Today is bad again.

Reality: Today is bad, but I think I'm starting to understand why.

Reality: Wow, how long has it been since I cleaned my room?

Reality: Cleaning my room didn't make me feel any better, but hey, room's clean.

Reality: Whoa, okay, I need a shower. And maybe a haircut? Definitely a haircut.

Reality: Everything sucks.

Reality: Okay, except you.

Reality: And you too, I didn't mean that you sucked.

Reality: And that thing that I like is pretty cool.

Reality: What was I talking about?

Reality: Oh, THAT'S why my ex broke up with me.

Reality: Wow, it turns out that was totally my fault?

Reality: I was the jackass.

Reality: Holy shit, I am such a jackass.

Reality: Everybody must hate me.

Reality: EVERYBODY HATES ME.

Reality: Okay, how could everybody hate me? I mean, even if I'm a jackass, the Law of Averages dictates that SOMEBODY out there would probably like me anyway.

Reality: Why would everybody hate me anyway, I'm awesome.

Reality: ...I'm not that awesome.

Reality: Sometimes I'm pretty awesome, though.

Reality: OH MY GOD I HATE MYSELF

Reality: WHAT IS THIS, I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED

Reality: EVERYTHING SUCKS, THE WORLD SUCKS, I SUCK, NOBODY WILL EVER LOVE ME AND I WILL DIE UNMOURNED AND ALONE

Reality: ...What the hell was that about?

Reality: Anyway, gonna get stuff done.

Reality: Gonna get stuff done

Reality: Getting stuff done

Reality: WHY DO I FAIL AT EVERYTHING

Reality: WALLOWING

Reality: WALLOWING SOME MORE

Reality: Okay NO MORE WALLOWING, we've talked about this, we're not doing this right now.

Reality: ...I can't believe that worked.

Reality: Huh.

Reality: So hang on, is this it?

Reality: I mean, is this recovery? Am I doing this right? Is it going to be over soon?

Reality: I just want to be normal.

Reality: I am such a ridiculous trainwreck of a human being. How do I even exist? Why do I get to have friends? Why do you people talk to me? There's so much about myself that I really don't like, and there's probably even more stuff that I don't even know about that isn't too hot, either. And I'm working on it, but man, it's hard.

Reality: ...I just realized that everything I just said is normal.

Reality: Oh my God, am I already normal?

Reality: I'M ALREADY NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL.

Reality: It's...not exactly everything I was hoping for, to tell you the truth.

Reality: ...Oh well.

Reality: Today was okay.

Reality: Maybe tomorrow will be better.

[boggletheowl]

I felt like this was a worthwhile thing to talk about today! I hope you are all doing well out there!

Surprising how fitting this song goes…….

OMG

Casually reblogging my favorite fanvid of all time. I think my favorite part is when Alfred says Jason doesn’t have parents and Bruce batglares at him, omg. So precious!

"Um no you never did. But do tell." As she listened to Obsidian’s brief quip she nodded. A childhood that reminded her much of her own except Cas killed to survive she was an animal born with a red ledger she carries, but Obsidian was tainted, tainted black by another. "And what happened?"

[nightblackblade]

“Lady Talia, Ra’s al Ghul’s daughter and the current leader of the League of Assassins, called me to her office and told me that I was going to kill a king. He was actually a petty dictator, but that’s beside the point. I was six, telling me he was a king was just easier. At the time I was actually pretty thrilled to be trusted with such an important mission, even though the only reason I got the job was because no one else could fit through the vents to get to him. Long story short, I literally stabbed him in the back and I got a lot of praise from my caretakers. Over time, I started getting more and more missions, and because I always got praised for my kills, I never thought I was doing anything wrong. In fact, I enjoyed myself. Until, on a mission when I was fifteen, I had to kill the target’s family too.” Obsidian shuddered. “He had a six-year-old son, who asked me why I had to be so mean to his mommy and daddy. He called me a monster. I got out of the League after that, spent a while on the run. I never did manage to get out of the business, though. I just got choosier about who I kill.”

[nightblackblade]

"We really ought to sit down and tell each other whatever we’re willing to about our pasts. To be honest, I’ve been avoiding this, but since you’ve been essentially living here for a while, it’s only fair that you know why I’m up at four in the morning half the time."

[bxrningkillxr]

Cas nodded leaning back in her chair as she deeply inhaled. “I know I’ve been avoiding it too. But I’ve told you more than you have to me. At least you know why I’m up all night, but tell me what keeps you up at 3 in the morning.”

[nightblackblade]

Obsidian sat down with a sigh. "Yeah. Let's get this over with. Have I ever told you how I came to be an assassin? I don't think I have. I was taken in by a mid-ranking member of the League of Assassins when I was about four years old. They trained me. Then, when I was six, I got my first mission."

[dementedbeautyqueens]

I hate when people say "survivor".

Because "Survivor" means that you made it out

And I dont think all of me did.

Seven hours down… One hundred and one hundred and thirteen to go.

                   Pursing his lips, the vigilante sat half poised, half gracelessly kicking his legs like a three year old having a fit. His eyes wander, glancing between people as the pass. Not being able to talk sucked. 

[nightblackblade]

Obsidian kept an eye on her surroundings as she walked, hand on her purse. Her eye caught on the man sitting on a park bench, swinging his legs restlessly. He looked...grumpy, for lack of a better word. She put on her friendliest smile and went to talk to him. "Hello. Is something wrong?"

[nightblackblade]

"I’ll make spaghetti, then. Do you like mushrooms?"

[bxrningkillxr]

All she did was nod her little white haired head in response. It wasn't like she had any objections to the meal of choice. “So what did you want to talk about?”

[nightblackblade]

"We really ought to sit down and tell each other whatever we're willing to about our pasts. To be honest, I've been avoiding this, but since you've been essentially living here for a while, it's only fair that you know why I'm up at four in the morning half the time."

Tiny Dinosaur wanted to help out with awareness so he made a tiny presentation. Suggestions for improvements are very welcome, he has never made a presentation about asexuality before and he wants to make sure he gets it right.
