YOU’RE  LIKE  SOME  ONE  MAN  ARSENAL   ...

independent,  private,  selective  roy  harper  of  dc  comics.  pre-flashpoint  adjacent,  headcanon  based, with some other media influences,  and  not  remotely  n52  friendly.  written  by  rum,  27,  she/her.

carrd  /  sideblog

rules under the cut until the carrd is finished!

- typical rp etiquette applies. do not godmod. do not pester me for replies. do not unfollow/follow to try and get my attention. drama that can easily be handled privately is not welcome here; however, i will reblog callouts when they are necessary ( someone who will not listen to reason after multiple attempts to approach, for example ). if you exhibit any behavior that is racist, homophobic, transphobic, pro-pedophilia, or anything that is just plain disgusting, then you are not welcome here.

- i am not a fast writer. on the days that i do, i'm not even necessarily a good writer. but this is a hobby, and we're all here to have fun. if it seems like i'm ignoring you on any platform ( inbox, ims, discord, wire... ), i'm not. sometimes i will lose interest, but most of the time, i'm forgetful, and have a very bad habit of losing interest in things i don't necessarily want to, or just wind up feeling annoying and bothersome. so when i say it's not you, it's really not.

- canon interactions. non-canon interactions. other canon interactions. ocs!!! love them all, can't get enough. and... shipping. i adore it, and genuinely love exploring all sorts of character relationships. i will not force you into writing a particular ship with me, and ask that you please do the same. so, with that, let me be very clear here and now, that i do not ship roy with jason todd. i will happily plot with jason writers, of course, but do not expect anything more than that.

- my roy does not follow canon.  in the main verse on this blog, he is retired from superheroing, focused on raising and being there for lian, and in the process of starting up a private security firm while attending school part-time.  he has been a member of the teen titans, the titans, the outsiders, and the justice league, and his door is always open to anyone who needs it.  however, i will more than happily write from other points in roy’s life, and ( hopefully ) tag it appropriately.

so the hits just keep coming. because money has been extremely tight for me this month, i applied for student loan repayment assistance, and while they’re supposed to freeze automatic repayments while my app is processed they took money anyways and now my bank account is in an amount of overdraft that is genuinely terrifying. and because of that i’m notifications that my loan payment is overdue AND because of that they won’t process my assistance application.

so please please please commission me. i will make headers ($10) and promos (starting at $10 and going up in increments of $2 for each panel) and dash icons ($3 each). i’d make a list of examples but this post is getting thrown out super fast in a fit of panic so just message me if you’re interested and i can show you some of my stuff.

i would also just appreciate any help through my ko-fi.

it would be a casual stretch were it not for how close it draws her to him , chin at his shoulder as she settles by his side , quiet but for the contented sigh that breaks past parted lips. "you've run me dry of sentiment, lover." a whispered confession, apologetic, a hand tangling its way absentmindedly into his hair. "you know you mean... happy birthday , nhà em."

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 , on this day eleven years ago , he'd been equal parts warm and sore all over . fascinated and touched by her little gestures to make the day brighter for him , and grinning broader than he probably should have over the smear of frosting that found it's way from his finger to her nose . today , he sticks to smiling , and leaning into the warmth his body can't help but crave . ❝ i know . ❞

[waspeedyarc]

" happy birthday, kiddo " , voice rich with affection , drawing back from her (admittedly fast and sturdy) embrace to press a hand to his cheek , meeting his gaze with her own. " i'm proud of you , you know. really , really proud . " a nod to the box on the countertop , sheepish grin slipping into place . " you don't have to wear it . it was my dad's , and seeing as you're technically the oldest grandson he's ever getting ... "

𝐈𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐁𝐎 of you know you didn't have to and so whatcha get me ? that sits too easy on his tongue , straddling the line of impish and adult if only for her sake . it's the reveal that makes him swallow both whole . his hand drifts between reaching for her and reaching for it ; the tiny monument for someone he only knows through fond stories and the occasional eyeroll , sitting in a neat little box on his shiny slab of granite . fingers nudge , if only to take a careful peek for themselves , before finding his hair . the tug there saves him from looking too misty . ❝ jeez , proud enough you think i'm finally ready to tell time by myself , huh ? ❞

[waspeedyarc]

he kisses his cheek, all sweet and tender. " happy birthday, my dear. " onto his hands, a jewelry box. inside: a simple silver necklace, a gentle feather for a pendant.

𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐄𝐘 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 , taffy that melts at the warmest touch . and he's already near overheated , bracketed and tucked in , basking instead of protesting [ he'll ruin it somehow ] ; stupidly grateful after the stress of a long day . he can't lie and say he wasn't expecting anything , because that's not how this pretty bird works , but the reveal still makes his pulse stutter . handle with care . thumb across the delicate lines , feel the press into the pad . his grin is small , soft . he twists , peeking near slyly over his own shoulder . ❝ one of yours , hot stuff ? ❞

for roy's birthday, i'm giving myself the present of moving this blog

[waspeedyarc]

sticks a gift bow to roy's forehead.

happy birthday :)

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐄𝐘𝐄𝐒 𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐋 , and the automatic downward pull of his mouth that comes with it fights against a fonder grin . he neutrals as he unpeels the bow [ speedy red , ha ] , and prompt in flicking it neatly at kyle's nose . ❝ cute , rayner . donna make sure you got the rsvp ? ❞
