Dollmaker and Dollhouse

(commissions open)

[oneeyedscarecrow]

listen i only like the vague concept of the dollmaker family in nu52 (villain families, esp. adoptive ones, are my jam & i love creepy doll + surgery aesthetics) and dislike most everything that’s done with the characters, including the actual CONTENT of matilda/dollhouse’s arc in the Catwoman comic run 

but Matilda’s general trajectory is just so hilarious to me because she’s hanging out with her dad, right? she’s doing fine. she’s apparently editing her own wikia page, considering she’s referred to as The Favorite. but then she somehow decides she needs to Honor the Family Name by taking off on her own. which (a), Matilda honey there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell you’re Barton’s actual biological daughter, (b) what was wrong with what you were doing before

so she fucks off on her own, calls herself Dollhouse (presumably all other doll-related names were taken) and tries to make the whole creepy organ stealing thing work. (note: did someone writing for nu52 play Mad Father before designing Barton & Matilda?) and almost immediately screws up, has a nervous breakdown, gets her place torched and runs off

then, according to the wiki, she joined some kind of villain society because she hoped it would help her career but ‘spent most of her time drinking in pubs’

then she apparently finally decides this was a terrible idea in the first place & the next you see her she’s moved back in with her dad. like... same, Matilda. shouldn’t have tried to start a small business as a young adult in this economy
