Hi everyone, it's Chip here! I'm back again by unpopular demand with a brand new blog featuring F.lashpoint's M.artha W.ayne, aka The J.oker! Affiliated with the wonderful @paradoxbatmd.
So I did this over on Khare but absolutely could not resist doing this for Martha as well, making her into a terrifying old clown pegasus.
Bonus Roman bc I'm still not feeling well and can't be bothered making a seperate post for him. Enjoy a Changeling Bastard who prefers feeding on misery and pain over love.
βYou look like youβre from Wonderland. The Red Queen would like you. Maybe the Hatter, too. He likes strange peopleβ¦β unprompted
"That's a bit cheeky to say, implying I'm strange people but I can't say you're wrong, hehe!" Martha cackled. Her body was a whirlwind of colour as she moved, jumping up onto the nearby table before peering down at Phoebe owlishly. There the clown settled down into a gnarled crouch, her grin matching that of any Cheshire Cat.
Wonderland. Oh, Martha remembered reading Alice in Wonderland once upon a time, but it had been so very long ago now that the book was little more than a distant memory, of a time when she had been happy, back when she'd had a... family. Speaking of which, where were this girl's parents? She hardly looked any older than her poor Bruce had been but if her child was out there all alone, Martha would have gone over the city with a fine-toothed comb to find them.
"Can't say red is my colour but maybe the Red Queen would be happier that way. Wouldn't want to cramp her style if you know what I mean!" Martha grinned even more widely if that was possible, bone white chin resting on gloved forefinger and thumb as she leaned towards Phoebe with a whisper.
"You like literature, girl? What am I saying, we shouldn't be talking as strangers! Call me Martha, dearie. Everybody does. What's your name, and how come you're out here all by your lonesome?"

Back when she was still married to Thomas, Martha was more often than not the more impulsive of the two. Patience was a virtue that did not come easily though not through lack of trying - it's in her blood as a Kane, to be hot-blooded and to not take things lying down. After Bruce died however, that all changed - as did many other things about the woman. She became as deadly patient as she was cynical, cruel. Oh, Martha was still impulsive in certain ways, particularly when it came to violent outbursts but when it came to patience, Martha became a whole new terror in herself.
Her plans were always carefully-constructed, knowing her husband would try to stop her once he got wind of her in action. Staying ahead of the Bat was like playing a game of chess with an especially tenacious opponent and to stay ahead in the game, Martha knew she had to be that little bit more patient, to wait until the right moment to act.
To do so pained her often but nothing more than what she's already been through. She's waited, what... ten, twenty years at this point to exact her revenge against Gotham, so what's a few more days, weeks, months or even years at this point? She's far from finished with the city and is willing to wait however long as it takes to carry out her goals, even if by then she'll be too old to watch them play out.
Oh god. How did it come to this? To some extent, you've gone so far past your own idea of "human" that it must be kind of fun, right? Maybe. I'm not sure. As an artefact of cosmic horror, you're wild and wacky and colourful and people are probably drawn to that, but you will never let them know you. The mystery intrigues for a while, but it'll wear everyone down. It'll wear you down, too. Who are you? Do you remember? Are you so far gone that you can't go back? And maybe that's the most tragic thing of all - becoming so distorted in your identity, and for so long, that no matter how hard you want to return you can't ever seem to figure it out. But you've learned a vast amount up in the stars, and people will work hard to get to know you. It doesn't matter who you used to be. Sometimes, you should just start from scratch: give yourself a name, a birthday. Let someone celebrate these things with you.

Hi everyone, hope your week is going well! My apologies for things still being slow on this end, while I'm off work there's things to be done at home but getting through some of the legwork more quickly than anticipated! Coffee table is fully constructed after a few troublesome hours and then a second snake vivarium will be done. Doing it in bits and pieces since 1. There's lots of heavy lifting involved and 2. The snake enclosure requires time to cure (aquarium grade sealant) so I won't be AFK so much now! Thanks for continuing to be so patient with me, very nearly done with the CHAOS that is irl obligations!
I created a Userstyle for the Chrome/Firefox Stylus Extension that reverts the new dashboard to the old format. This took a lot of tweaking and it's not perfect at all, but if anyone wants it I'll be uploading it soonish now!
A fix for the new Tumblr dashboard! If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* St
You need to have Stylus installed. So if you don't have it:
Install the Stylus Firefox Addon or the Manifest V2 Chrome Extension (You can install Chrome Extensions on Edge as well)
Once it's installed into Firefox/Chrome/Edge you can proceed with adding this style or any other.
To add the style (Stylus), follow the instructions:
Go to this link: https://userstyles.world/style/11286/old-tumblr-dashboard-july-2023
Click on "install".
Style will open a tag with it and in the left side you'll have a button that says "install style", click there.
(Step-by-step copied from the lovely dorothyoz39 who wrote this in a reply!)
If you don't want the sticky header you can remove the labelled script at the top of the css below /* Sticky Header*/
For Manifest V3 only Chrome Or Stylus incompatible browsers:
For Chrome Manifest V3 install the Tampermonkey Extension
Then add the Tampermonkey Backup Script instead of the Stylus version
https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/492279-old-tumblr-dasboard-backup
I highly recommend you switch to Firefox or stop all Chrome updates for continued use of good extensions! Stylus does not have a V3 update yet; however, the tamermonkey script works just as good.

Any Ko-Fi donations will be added manually to the GoFundMe
..::::HOW TO UPDATE::::..
click the Manage button on Stylus and click the check for update button next to the userstyle, then click again to install!
Make sure to check the Userstyle and see if the version number matches the one below if you don't see any changes!
NEW UPDATE: 24/10/24 (D/M/Y) 03:13AM BST v15.3
v14.11: Made Premium Perks button available in the bottom left corner for all premium users
v15.2: Fixed the Tumblr fuckup AND added a cool new feature that allows you to customise the look of your header & hide the reply-to-replies button if you like, here's how to customise this. Set to "Block" if you want the button/icon visible, Set to "None" if you want it hidden!
You can also fix the positioning of the Communities button and subnav from this menu as well - it should remember your settings when you update!
Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle) Is now available!!
OTD+ is an add on for Old Tumblr dashboard that you can use to edit the Post Width, Content Positioning & More - It must be used with Old Tumblr Dashboard installed as well on the latest update!
THE CREATOR OF THIS USERSTYLE SUPPORTS THEIR TRANS SISTERS. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
Check the readmore for the changelog, custom code & known issues! This style might be merged with OTD in the future.
-----
Known issues:
Only two columns in Masonry view. Unfixable, Tumblr creates columns based on monitor size, if I try adding another column (because it doesn't exist) it just perpetually loads on screen.
Tempfix: Zoom out in chrome/firefox and it adds more columns
Search bar doesn't appear on some pages (like viewing a post), this is because Tumblr removed the search bar on those pages completely. Unfixable!
Tumblr has ONCE AGAIN CHANGED THE ACCOUNTS MENU. The menus are now shorter and have less information on them. This is unfortunately permanent. I do not see any way to fix this. Unfixable.
If you want people's icons to stay fixed in place, instead of scrolling with the dashboard add;
to the top of the code! You can also create a second userstyle by clicking the 'tumblr.com' part of the link in 'Write new Style' and adding the code in there! That way you don't have to worry about re-adding it when you update.
Solved issues: (Update)
Menus need to be manually closed SOLVED! in V.4 and updated in V.5! The menu & icon WILL scroll with you if you have removed the sticky header CSS, however, clicking anywhere on screen will make the Menu disappear still.
Masonry view in searches is now fixed!
Resized Messenger Chat Box!
NEW UPDATE 16/08/23, 23:55 BST v6.5: Figured out how to reorganise the icons in the header. Let me know if you have any problems with it and make sure to update your Userstyle! Some icons are hidden with Display: Block; you can hide more icons with this method!
Solved issues p2
Brought back SOME of the icons for Tumblrs latest update - Unfortunately, this does not bring back user icons for Reblogged posts! Make sure to yell at Tumblr for removing the icons as well as the horrible dashboard update here!
v7.5 Fixed icons for all posts and put them back where they came from!
v6.9.6.9 (I promise this is the last funny number): Fuck Off Buggy The Clown Update + All languages support for the old header design!
v7.0: Fixed the search bar for tumblrs new collections feature, so it looks like the original search bar!
v8.0: Fixed masonry view icons, hidden the reblog icon on dashboard icons, fixed icons in blog viewport
V8.1: Fixed issue with icons not working on soft-refresh & with endless scrolling disabled - be sure to complain to staff!
v9.3: Changed a few things with the search feature, I also made the posts less round.
UPDATE2 11/04/2024: SO We mighhtttt have overrun their servers. π I'm getting a 500 Internal Server Error every time I try to fix it or upload it as a new style - the massive influx of people downloading the userstyle was probably too much. The Tampermonkey backup on Greasyfork works just fine though! Probably easier for a lot of people migrating anyway!
UPDATE 11/04/2024:: My code has broken on Userstyles.world, (it is now fixed as of 12/04/24) until this is fixed I have created a Tampermonkey Backup Version of the Userstyle so feel free to use this version if you've broken yours!
v9.6: Moved the Following | For you | Your Tags to below the create a post panel. Fixed the Accounts Menu! + Bugfixes
V10.3: Patio compatibility. Added a way to hide the Patio button & "patio feedback?" button, just search for patio in the code and follow the instructions!
v11.0: Temporary Chat feature fix after Tumblr broke it, fixed some positioning issues and j/k scrolling!
v12.3: Fixed a text issue (my bad!), I undid the changes to the replies function and added a way to fix icons order for when you get the communities update!
v12.5: Update to make compatible with the Content Positioning using Tumblr Post Width & More (OTD+ Userstyle)
v12.6: Post buttons fixed, icons unable to be fixed yet as I haven't got the tumblr changes just yet - but I will fix them asap!
v11.7: Communities Update, changed the new search bar on communities page to resemble the old one. The search bar still doesn't work on these pages yet for some reason. Blog view icons fixed.
v13.0: The icons change should now have a working patchfix! BIG THANK YOU to arcadian-asgardian for sending me the screenshots I needed and testing if it worked. + Minor tweak, communities button resized to fit the rest of the icons better
v13.2: Mini fixes now that I have better access to the new changes! Communities icon re-centered, usernames nudged back into place.
V13.5 & v13.7: Nuked the Go Premium button - Re-positioned the search bar on search pages
v13.10: Changed a lot of the new look for replies - it's not perfect yet mind. Small bug with the "..." menu moving to the left with shorter replies. Looks a lot more like the old replies section though!
Made it possible to remove the reply to reply button just search for "NEW Replies UI" in the userstyle and remove the /* */ around "display: none" OR use Ublock to block the element!
v14.1: Reverted the "Original Poster" border + text to look like old version. Edit: Whoops, fixed an issue with showing the timestamps
v13.4: Added a way to fix the communities icon position if you don't have the New Xkit button or have hidden any of the icons. Just remove the highlighted /* */ pair in the code for what you need.
Kinda-sorta sinday related but at Martha's age, we can safely assume her to be post-menopausal? She will never have another child, not that she'd ever want to after what happened to Bruce but it's even more tragic to consider the possibility of Bruce being her miracle child. He never had siblings, even though age gaps aren't that uncommon amongst siblings so the possibility that Martha worried about never being able to have children would have been even more heartbreaking that after everything she and Thomas went through to have Bruce, he could be so cruelly snatched away in the blink of an eye.

Martha's blood always ran a little hot. It's only natural as a Kane, and being the sole daughter out of five children growing up, Martha learned to stand up for herself quite quickly. She wasn't a terror by any means but if trouble came along, she wasn't afraid to butt heads and step on a few toes along the way for good measure. After Bruce's death however, Martha became a lot less assertive and a lot more aggressive, her temper becoming as unpredictable as her mood swings.
As the Joker, Martha is often laughing at this and that but she almost never truly laughs unlike when she was still Martha Wayne. Henchmen learn fast not to trust that smile, that not every laugh is out of amusement. It's even more worrisome if Martha doesn't laugh at all - a quiet Joker is a dangerous one and if she's not talking you can be sure something NASTY is going on in her head.
She's already lived through the worst day of her life and nothing can top it so she's not as short-tempered as one might think. Only a few situations (and people) can really push her buttons and when it gets to that point trouble isn't far off. She doesn't give much - if any warning at all, so if the Joker is talking and talking but not making a single joke or laugh, you'd best beware!
