an ind. black canary, a.k.a. dinah drake. kinda selective & semi-private; limited activity. as portrayed by rhian & inspired by brenden fletcher's 2015 black canary with some personal canon.
❛not at all. i needed a night off and you offered the perfect excuse. ❜
though tatsu was not the most sociable, she couldn’t pass up the opportunity to come watch dinah perform. she smiles at her former teammate, though she has to crane her neck slightly to look up at her. even in heeled shoes, tatsu remains one of the shortest occupants in the room. situations such as these usually made tatsu uncomfortable – crowded spaces, surrounded by unfamiliar faces as she stands weaponless. though ( and she wouldn’t tell dinah this ) the necklace and bracelets she was wearing could prove fine weapons should she need them.
❛ how have you been? it has been awhile since i last saw you. ❜
❛ — well, i’m happy to’ve gotten you a proper night off. ❜
it was not that dinah had been unhappy working with the birds of prey or even the justice league, but the weight of what they were? it had felt so all-consuming. it took up so much of her life and while being a ‘savior’ had it’s perks…? it also had it’s pitfalls, the parts where people forget how much damage lay under the public veneer, the facades they all wore so that people in gotham and around the world felt safer… or at least thought their heroes were stable. singing was something so very freeing to her and she’d stay on that path for as long as that feeling might last.
❛ mmm, i’ve been pretty busy with touring and uhm, well some other complicated stuff… it’s nothing worthwhile though… — how’ve you been? ❜

[ writer is OVER 18, sometimes content will be NSFW. ]
ON ACTIVITY: as i do have other blogs, all of which are in varying states of limited or minimal activity due to life and work? this blog shall follow that as well — not to mention it will begin as a voice test.
ON SHIPPING: i don’t have a lot of ships that i am bound by in my head for dinah, just know that i view her as bisexual with a heavy leaning being borderline demisexual. i also do not see her holding a preference on gender. i am open to mutually exclusive shipping, but please do not pursue it with me if you are not okay with multiship --- my blog is not singleship.
ON STATUS IN CANON: the biggest aspect i'd like for people to remember? i am writing dinah drake, not dinah laurel lance --- in that i am not including any canon from withing the arrow universe. my portrayal is mainly that of her prime earth (or 'new 52') universe with heavy influence and inspiration drawn from her current 2015 solo run from brenden fletcher.
ON GORE / SMUT: as with all of my blogs, i’m more willing to write the prior than the latter as long as it makes sense to the interaction of our muses and or character development. the latter is something i am only really comfortable writing as implied or fade-to-black.
ON PLOTTING: i am always down for this and love to plot out verses (especially au's or ship specific ones) and or new ideas! so, always feel free to hit me up by whatever means we have shared about ideas you might have!
questions about anything above? please feel free to poke at my ask about it!
