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.
Reed’s eyes narrowed on the blonde-headed hero as she spoke out to him, obvious anger behind her words. He hadn’t intended to get so deeply involved in the familial affairs of the Dinah Lance household, but he couldn’t help but overhear the inflammatory exclamation of her son, Garfield Logan, when he expressed an interest in moving out. Reed wanted the young one to be safe, and that was all it was.
❛ Something prompted the boy to yell ‘I’m moving out,’ and I just wanted him to have a safe place to turn to. Since Susan and the kids left, my home at the Baxter Building has been empty. It’s actually quite lonely. ❜
reining herself in was a talent that dinah drake little explored, least of all when her mind was clouded by strong emotions. and yet dinah remembered her youth rather vividly at the reed’s words, his concern — memories of dumpster diving outside desmond lamar’s dojo ; memories of desmond taking her in and raising her… they all surfaced in her mind and she sighed softly, her initial outrage falling away to leave understanding and a quiet mirth in her features.
❛ he recently found out about my current relationship and i believe that is cause a bit of — well, all of this… i assure you that nothing is wrong at home, but i imagine he’d love to see the work you do and i doubt think he would mind visiting? ❜

[ 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!
