"Words cut deeper than knives. A knife can be pulled out, words are embedded into our souls.

(via sadnessismyhome)

[cacklingchangeling-a]

A pang of anger ran through him, the hand by his side clenching into a fist once Slade’s work began to reveal itself. Just like him to take a young, impressionable girl and make her dependent on him, on his approval. He could tell by her tone, by how the apprentice tried to retreat inside of herself. She was scared.

Just like Terra had been.

"We can protect you." He knew wasn’t putting a great deal of thought into this claim, but you never really relied on what rational when it came to situations like this. How could you?

"We have the security and resources to make sure Slade could never hurt you.” He paused, a realization popping into his mind. All this talk of helping her and he was still referring to her as Slade’s apprentice in his head. “Do you have a name? Something you’d be comfortable with me calling you?”

He dared to close the distance, to rest a hand on her shoulder.

[thornsandswords-blog]

Then her theory was correct. Rose internally rolled her eyes. It was no wonder these buffoons were infiltrated the first time. She was sure it was because she was a woman, and that irritated her further. 

Rose was wondering how long she should keep this up. When he placed his hand on her shoulder, dozens of opportunities presented themselves. How fast could she catch him off-guard before he had a chance to shapeshift? She knew from video recordings he was fast, but if she caught him by surprise... With grating control, Rose resisted her base instincts. 

“Ravager,” she started. “But you don’t understand. My father has probes everywhere. How can you keep him outside of your tower?” Oh yeah. She was fishing for intel now. Maybe a piece of vital information like that would impress her father.  

[cacklingchangeling-a]

The girl ought to get a reward for souring the mood quicker than a coin flip.

"And that’s the sound of me changing the subject-” This was an area too sensitive for the likes of her to causally bring up. Especially when one considered her own relation to the instigator of that particular situation.

"I’m going to let that slide since that one-eyed creep you call a father didn’t raise you to know better.” Girl probably knew how to stab a person before she could wipe the drool off her own chin.

[thornsandswords-blog]

Rose instantly reacted, and of course, it was all his fault. At least now Beast Boy would learn to back off. Prod an assassin, get your hand cut off. It wasn’t her fault he couldn’t take a hint. 

“You say that like this will change things. I am his daughter. Your attempts at being social and accepting are what first exposed your team to a spy meant to dismantle you from the inside out. You don’t learn from your mistakes. That’s your weakness, not mine.” The whiplash was unexpected, even to Rose. She kept people at an emotional distance where she was safe. Lashing out gave her a sense of control. It was an unfortunate trait she picked up from her father, one she wasn’t even aware of.

Roses are violent, so is your father. Putting you in jail would be a big bother. Please stop committing crimes.

thornsandswords replied to your post:tbh this whole “the new 52 is dead” thing is just…

Yep yep, this exactly. They’re just publishing the same stories under the guise that they’re incorporating pre-Flashpoint stuff to attract old fans; fake fake fake

ngl i’m excited for convergence and the new starfire comic (!!!) but other than that it’s just the same universe we’ve been getting since flashpoint (and lobdell writing more jason todd ugh ffs)

[thornsandswords-blog]

Ahaha; I won't be excited for Starfire until I see an example of the writing, because from the cover it looks too much like they're selling her like an air headed teenager (similar revamp to Batgirl). I'm buying tons of Convergence, but I think I've lost any optimism for the New 52 dropping dead

[cacklingchangeling-a]

"He doesn’t strike me as a family guy."

Yeah. That definitely changed things; however this turned out, he’d have to relay this information to Robin, see if he could pull up any history on this girl. If they were lucky, there could be something there they could use to break Slade’s hold on her and if they were lucky, they might be able to pull something on Slade through their association.

"Listen-" He didn’t know her name. If she had said it, he hadn’t bothered to remember it. It was going to make convincing her difficult, but he still had to try. "I know you might think this is the only way to go, but you’re your own person-“ 

This moment felt reminiscent to his plea with Terra. The thought troubles him. 

"And whatever Slade promised you?  You can find it, out here, on your own. If you stand on your own two feet and search for something, you will find it.”

[thornsandswords-blog]

Ravager shifted her hips, where her sword still hung loosely. If there was one thing she hated, it was people acting like they understood her. It was a pathetic attempt. Did heroes really expect anything to come from their little speeches? Or were they idealistic and self-righteous enough to think that it would work. That someone would just change their entire life because they said so. Well, there was one way to find out.

"But you don't understand..."

"Where will I go? What will I do?"

"What if my father comes after me?"

[cacklingchangeling-a]

Call him old-fashioned, but there was once a time when a guy had date the same girl a bit before getting to go all the way home.

”Please,” He took a few steps, following her lead, damned stubbornness on his part. “I got a track record that speaks for itself, platinum.” Used to be that girls would jump at the idea of going out on a date with Gar Logan, too!

Ah, how times have changed.

[thornsandswords-blog]

Rose was going to kill him.

 "And by track record you mean that one psychotic blonde you dated?" Oh yeah. That would get him to back off.

[sanguisxregio-deactivated201511]

"Heh. I know. I am pretty great.”

"So- what’s your name?"

[thornsandswords-blog]

"Rose."

"And you'd be even greater if you knew where to get a drink around here."

CACKLINGCHANGELING'S 500 FOLLOWER MILESTONE

My last follow forever was three, maybe four months ago. So I had meant to one immediately when I hit 200-250 (i dunno, it felt like a right place) back then, procrastinated for a few weeks, got caught in work and then…. I had a little over 300 when I checked again. So yeah, not be making that mistake again. Bleh, enough about numbers, it makes me sound so mechanical. Anyways, it really blows my mind that so many of you enjoy my portrayal of BB, be it from the television series where we enjoyed his coming of age to the comics where we saw Gar really grow up. And from this, I have alot of you to thank for developing my characterization from Gar; consoling or challenging him in threads, sending drabble prompts, or even the occasional inquisitive anon who’s curious on a certain quirk of his. And dont even get me started on the anonymous compliments that get dropped off from time to time, I still have them in my inbox because a) it means a lot to me that someone would send the, and b) i dont want everyone to see how i cant be cool and take compliment I am so thankful to have followers like you, who helped my handle on Gar as a character as well as put up with my random bouts of disappearance whenever school starts up for the high season for my job begins. So in roleplaying, I’ve befriended many others who share this hobby of mine, all of them sweethearts and many of them I’m confused are following me cuz dude alot of you are suuuuuch god writers omg

BEAST BUDS

Some of the closest friends I've made on this blog; alot of whom who have made the mistake of asking for my skype and are consequently hounded on thread ideas and headcanons. Lucky them.

determinedleader - Connie, I bet’cha thought I was gonna forget about the whole mushy passage I was going to put aside for you, hmm? Tough luck. The actual Robin to my Beast Boy, she has incited much confusion as to where our characters start and where they end- could be that we’re all slowly changing to be more like them, who knows? In any case, she writes an absolutely spiffing Robin and I feel so blessed to call her my friend, even if she sometimes breaks my heart with her angst-filled drabbles… of ANGST. evilbewxre - The shipping queen. Everyone needs a ‘Jazzy’ in their life, someone who can brighten your day with little effort and is always handy with fun situations to explore with your characters or headcanons to develop and incorporate into your writings. It’s GREAT that fairly recently Jazzy was able to have access to her laptop again, I’m happy to say I got her unboard a certain unconventional ship… dat BbRae tho quietesthero - A complete sweetheart, follow for an on-spot Joey who can warm your heart one second through fluffy interactions one moment and have you laugh aloud the next when he has to deal with a total schmuck (i.e. Garfield Logan). I always enjoy our conversations in which we bemoan alot of the injustices Jericho has had to deal with; from both his family and DC itself. But, hey! Earth One, amiright? Ehhh? theflyingwonder/thornsandswords - Now, I’ve only just recently gotten ahold of Shelly’s skype, but our interactions went on long before this when she ran Rose several months ago. IM HAPPY TO SEE THAT SHE’S BACK IN ACTION; but more to this, you can also check out her critiques and analysis on the character of Dick Grayson ( inconsistencies in portrayal by certain writers, fandom generalizations, running gags, seriously you should check it out). A co-founder of the divergent ship that’s ruining my life: Rosefield fortunatenax - Jinx and Beast Boy becoming pretty good friends? Pssssh. Please… But lo and behold, there it is, Rio’s Jinx all snarky and surprisingly compatible with our resident changeling. Now, here’s hoping he can just shut up about her magic appears to be ‘sparkly.’ It’s such a chore to keep him alive around Jinx, I swear. I absolutely love how Rio has expanded upon Jinx’s character from what little we were given from the show, they have  really made her her own character. fatalaftershock - Albany is entirely to blame for me shipping robterra, there would literally be no reason for me to fall for it if it weren’t for the drabbles and collaborations she plots with connie day in and day out. Outside of this, she brought a new understanding of Terra to my notice: I think I fell in the typical group of people that saw Terra as a girl who betrayed her friends for self-gain, that she wasn’t my favorite character. But there is so much more to her than that and I have Albany to thank for brining deeper characterization to this seriously underrated character. Plus she lives in the same state as me, so y’know, gotta respect that. blackibat - This was a curve-ball; I would’ve never guessed how cute BB’s and BB’s interactions would be (see what i did thur?). They are entirely to blame for the bulk of it, by the way, with drabbles of Gar braiding Cass’s hair or sliding her a cupcake OR FALLING ASLEEP ON THE COUCH TOGETHER (okay that one might’ve been me, but still). This friendship of theirs caught me by surprise and you guys will be sure to find more of it on this blog, god willing. Congrats to the mun for really getting into the charactersistics of Casandra alot of other people overlook (i.e. her being an adorable, sweet child). 

VEGAN BROS

Many of you are those I interact with, others are those I watch from afar in a kinda creepy way. Regardless I love seeing all of you on my dash. (i just know im going to forget someone but *fingers-crossed*)

headcanons w/thornsandswords

[ RIGHT, I almooooost forgot about this. gdi Rose ]

[thornsandswords-blog]

A parrot lands on her shoulder, making itself comfortable before making bawking: 'pretty pirate, pretty pirate!'

"… Claws off before I cut them off."

[sanguisxregio-deactivated201511]

"What are you 'sposed to be, a martian?"

"No. Who are you?

  Patchy the pirate?”

[thornsandswords-blog]

"... I like you."

[cacklingchangeling-a]

That reply earned Rose a pair of wide eyes, his smirk didn’t falter however.

He wasn’t sure what shocked him more; the fact Rose didn’t back down or the implication that she wasn’t unopposed to putting out on the second date. He hoped, since Rose included that comment with a thinly veiled threat, that it was just a joke.

…

But he couldn’t help his curiousity.

"Really? The second date?”

[thornsandswords-blog]

Wow, he was still fishing. Rose resisted the urge to roll her eye as she stepped away. 

"Don't flatter yourself. As if you'd ever make it to the second date."

[cacklingchangeling-a]

“W-what?”

His inhibitions didn’t have the decency to keep his outrage silent, understandable since he had practically just been pegged with a medicine ball. The one thing that should never be around Slade is children, Robin and Terra being prime examples, and finding out the guy was a father? 

It was enough for anyone to freak out.

"Slade… h-he actually had kids?”

But with this shock came realization. Slade practically molded her through her entire life. To make a perfect apprentice; one who saw him as a role model, who pledged undying respect and obedience. Since he was her father. She was probably kept isolated from the outside world, only being fed whatever knowledge Slade deemed appropriate. With this in mind, the tension in his clenched fist loosened some. In one moment she changed from callous, bloodthirsty goon to a sheltered girl who most likely didn’t know any better.

Because being an apprentice wasn’t her choice.

It was Slade’s.

[thornsandswords-blog]

Rose pretended to admire her nails through her gloves. She was trying to goad reactions out of Beast Boy. That's all this conversation was. After a moment, though, she decided she didn't like his tone.

Yes, the tendons in his wrists were relaxing. Was she being pitied? He was going to go easy on her because he now saw her as a similar pawn as his old girlfriend? How foolish. The Titans made themselves so easy to exploit.

"You mean you didn't know?" Ravager carried a self-satisfied look, only visible beneath her mask with the slight raise of the corner of her mouth. "Looks like the Titans have more secrets among them than you realize."
