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.
♞barbara’s father exhales in relief, a grin cracking across his wide mouth. ❝is that it?❞ he gets up from the table and shuffles to the sink. he pours himself a glass of water. ❝i don’t know much about music, dinah, but barbie sure likes it. and i might have only heard you sing once or twice but there’s not a thing wrong with the way you sound.❞ jim gordon points to the left overs.❝and if you’re doing the whole starving artist thing, there’s always room at my kitchen table.❞
gracelessly she munches a final mouthful of the starchy snack, casting him something akin to a side-eye at his amusement. it’s only after she finishes and takes a more honest look that she spies the relief in him, which truth be told? only makes her crack a soft, belated smile. ❛ — don’t get me wrong — i love it, the singing, the performing…. and i love the band and i love that babs likes our music, ❜ a little fidget in what is probably one of barbara’s sweaters has her settled a bit more comfortably, ❛ … there’s less weight now, i guess… — oh, and while i am not starving, i’m always happy to stop in, mister gordon. ❜

[ 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!
drop me a line. »ALL HATE WILL BE IGNORED! so, please save yourself the time & don’t send it. » feel free to send any curiosities you have about my muse! » i always reply all my messages, be it publicly or privately. if i haven’t answered you in a reasonable amount of time, it probably means that i never got your message, so please send it again.
