I actually don’t mind that “dead dove” has become conversational shorthand for “fics with heavy themes where you REALLY need to pay attention to the warnings”. such is the nature of language. what i do mind is when people tag their actual fics with dead dove and then give no indication of what they’re actually warning about. that is useless. that helps no one. that is completely against the spirit of the meme. i will not be reading that

Our Little Routines Jason Todd

nav // dc m.list // ko-fi ✧.* word count: 1.2k ✧.* genre: fluff ✧.* warnings: nothing, reader does skincare/haircare

When the clock strikes at 10 pm two things start. The first is Jason and you start cleaning up the mess accumulated over the day; the second is the two of you start getting ready.

this was so cute to write and was fully inspired by this post by @batfams-posts also I'm doing a rebrand w the colours, expect lots of changes lmao

When the clock strikes at 10 pm two things start.

The first is Jason and you start cleaning up the mess accumulated over the day; the second is the two of you start getting ready.

The only difference is that Jason gets ready for patrol, whilst you get ready for bed.

There’s a comforting silence in the air as the two of you begin your little routine that you’ve found comfort in. A sense of normalcy before the seeds of worry and fear start in both your hearts. The only sound filling the apartment is the sound of clothes shuffling as the two of you change.

You, to your comfortable pyjamas, and him, to his gear.

Then as you move to your bathroom, Jason moves to a further room inside the apartment where he places his guns and ammo, far from the bedroom. Far from being seen by you, as he likes to tell you. He hates involving you in his line of work, even if that’s something as small as seeing the weapons he uses nightly.

The sounds that follow afterwards are comical. From the bathroom connected to the bedroom, there’s the sound of running water as you wash your face. Not far out of the bedroom, in the living room, Jason has started checking, cleaning, and loading his guns. The machinery clicking and clacking against one another as he checks each barrel to make sure it doesn’t clog when he tries to shoot.

You chuckle to yourself when you realise, something quiet enough that you don’t think Jason hears, though he does.

“What are you laughing about there?” He calls with a grin, not that you could see with you now focused on the start of your skincare routine.

“Nothing,” you smile to yourself in the mirror, knowing even if Jason couldn’t see it, he could hear it.

In response, Jason puts down his gun and stands up from where he was sitting on the couch. You see him making his way over towards you from the bathroom mirror as you’re patting your skin. You smile at him from the mirror without looking back as he snakes his way into the bathroom and grasps your body for a hug from behind.

He was fully armoured the same way as you were fully comfortable in your soft pyjamas.

Once again, the juxtaposition causes you to chuckle.

“There you go again,” he affectionately rolls his eyes, “Might need you to go to Arkham seeing as you’re going crazy, laughing at nothing and all.” He leans down to press a kiss on the top of your head.

You shake your head and lightly nudge his stomach as you reach towards your moisturiser.

“I’m just thinking about how funny we look,” you state before your brows quirked at the feeling of your moisturiser container, “Have you been using this?”

Your gaze returns back to Jason’s on the mirror, raising the moisturiser container to his guilty expression.

“Nope.” He makes no effort to conceal his guilty smile.

“Sure, and that’s why there’s only half left when I bought this last month.” You affectionately state before putting back the container and rubbing the product on your face.

Jason watches your hands move around your face with expertise and smoothness. He remembers when he puts on your moisturiser there’s a sense of awkwardness to him. Sure, it does feel good, self-care and all that, but there’s a sense of awkwardness. As if his hands weren’t used to doing something so delicate that’s directed at him.

But your fingers work the product easily into your skin, administering just the right amount to properly moisturise the skin without causing an uncomfortable cast atop it. When he realises you’ve finished he leans to smother his face in your neck before muttering.

“I’ll buy you a new one when you run out.” Before letting you go to continue your routine.

You giggle and hum in appreciation, then reach to ruffle Jason’s hair, relishing in the cleanliness of it before he puts on the helmet and sweats through the night. Speaking of hair, the night was coming to the time when the two of you would have to deal with it. Jason stares at you for a little bit longer as you reach to get your hair oil, grinning to himself at how lucky he is for being able to be with someone like you. All before turning around and leaving the bathroom, of course not without slapping your ass.

“Jason!” You yell out with no malice whatsoever, in response a loud laughter echoes through the apartment from him.

When you start oiling and moisturising your hair, Jason is back in the living room looking through his helmet, making sure his communication line with Oracle is secure and nothing is awry with the helmet. When start styling your hair into a comfortable style for bed, he puts on his domino mask, and when you finally tie your hair, his red helmet is secured on his head.

You make your way towards your bedroom, as he does. Though you reach for the bed and he reaches for the window.

When you snuggle into the comfortable blankets and pillows, reaching towards your laptop for some entertainment before bed, he’s tightening his jacket around his body to ready for the cold night, and reaching towards the now opened window.

But right before he leaves, you stare at him, a smile on your lips, one that brings out so much emotion and love through it. As much as you can muster, just in case that was the last time he’d see it. One that you give to him every night, no matter if the two of you just had a fight or not, it didn’t matter. You wanted him to see you smiling and full of love for him right before his patrol, just in case.

And he can’t take it, can’t take how amazing you look, comfortable snuggled into your shared bed, body completely moisturised and smelling of your favourite lotion, hair done up ready to look incredible in the morning. He just had to quickly take off his helmet and reach towards you. You respond in equal longing.

Reaching over towards him as your lips encase one another, bringing your hands around the back of his neck, pulling his body close to yours. Though he’s careful not to collapse onto the bed, for a plethora of reasons. The first is that if he does he doesn’t think he’d have it in him to leave for the night and the second is how dirty his patrol clothes actually are.

When the two of you pull away, your hands lightly play with the hairs at the back of his neck as you both look at each other with so much love and adoration in your eyes. You were the first to break the silence.

“Come back home safe to me, Jay.”

And he answers with a smile.

“Always.”

And then he jumps into the night, letting the light of the moon and city stars cover him. As you jump back into the bed, letting the bed and silence cover you.

As always, if you like my work, do consider tipping me on Ko-Fi!

This was so fun to write! Also as I said in the beginning, I am doing a small rework of my blog cause currently I'm just not vibing with the brown/light academia cafe aesthetic. I won't be doing it all at once (as I'm slightly busy rn) but small things will change here and there! But I am trying to get out of my writing slump.

FYI I KNOW ITS LIKE A YEAR OLD BUT I AM STILL WRITING THIS LMAO I JUST HAD AN EXTREME LOSS OF MOTIVATION TO WRITE CAUSE I'M VERY BUSY AHAHAHAHA BUT I THINK I'M GOING TO GET BACK ON TRACK SOON

✧. october horror event ✧. " red ink's 2023 October au event "

requests for characters open // navigation // ko-fi

Welcome to my first October x Reader event! I debated on doing Kinktober since I was starting to get used to writing smut, but because there's like 0 smut in this blog I decided against it. So here it is! My AU event, part of this is heavily inspired by @valeskafics 's myriad of AU's mostly following HOTD characters.

Most, if not all, of these are going to be AUs and not all are going to be open for requests. The ones that say, "open to order," means the prompt is open for requested characters! Only one character per prompt from my character list so choose wisely.

1 | Corpse Bride - Wally West Sold out !

3 | The Phantom of The Opera - Aemond Targaryen and Jacaerys Velaryon When your opera company makes its way to King's Landing, you never expect to find the man who taught you how to sing when the two of you were younger Aemond Targaryen and your childhood friend Jacaerys Velaryon. A drama-filled confusion ensues as you have to choose between your kind-hearted friend or the alluring man who knows more than one secret passage within King's Landing's esteemed opera house.

7 | Halloween - Rhaenyra Targaryen (NSFW) Sold out !

13 | Frankenstein (the book) - Jason Todd As a member of the League of Assassins, you never would've thought you'd find yourself watching Talia Al' Ghul resurrect your former childhood best friend before your eyes. You also never would've thought you'd be trying to kickstart his mind with electricity after Jason goes insane from a dip in the pit.

15 | Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde Open for order

17 | Ready or Not - Aegon Targaryen When you married into the wealthy Targaryen family, you knew you were bound to find some weird eccentric traditions all rich families seem to have. What you didn't expect was to take part in a gruesome version of a children's game, showing you to just how much your newly wedded husband loves you.

19 | Dracula (the book) - Dick Grayson Sold out !

25 | Edward Scissorhands - Roy Harper Sold out !

29 | The Addams Family - Bruce Wayne You didn't think Bruce would be open to a couple's costume, especially when that couple's costume is a costume from a movie the media love to find similarities with his family. But you're pleasantly surprised when not only he was up to it, but the entire family.

31 | Black Swan - Helaena Tagaryen Sold out !

Rules: - For each character requested you can tell me a short description on what you'd like or if there's something you absolutely don't want: for example: "Day 3 Aemond Targaryen but nothing NSFW." - Without it I'll still write your character so don't worry about thinking of a plot! - My normal rules still apply

Comment if you'd like to be part of the taglist!

No judgement whatsoever it's a genuine question.

If it's a series or the author says it would be or it's implied there's a giant potential for the work to have a part 2 i.e when it ends in a big cliffhanger or sumth like that. How could readers ask authors to add them to the tag list? I've commented a few times on series posts on wanting to be added to the taglist without meaning to put pressure on authors to continue/write more. Mainly because I've had people do that in my blog too and I don't mind it.

I'm just wondering what I could say or if I shouldn't say it at all? Like saying, "Can I be added to the taglist?" Or, "Could you please tag me in the next part/if there are next parts?" I don't want to be rude / seem ungrateful towards my favourite authors, so I just want to make sure. And if it does come off that way.

(Also to any authors that I've commented to and have accidentally made felt pressured due to it I sincerely apologise. It really wasn't my intention)

I had previously thought commenting something like that (not the rude ones that beg for more parts) showed support and showed what the audience wanted bcs that's how I always took it when it came to my blog. Is it rude to do so? (Asking to be tagged btw not asking for more parts, I understand how that part could be taken as rude esp w how some people phrase it)

"update when—"

"please tag me in the next—"

"omg! fic when—"

"please don't tell me that was it—"

"please please more—"

"part 3 when—"

"when's the next part—"

#help pls #red ink thoughts #fanfic etiquette #ig?#fandom etiquette #?#yeah sure ill j put that in the tags lmao idk how to tag this #should I j not say anything at all?

Just a reminder for people cause I haven't seen many peope posting about it:

If you can, please braid your hair today in honor of Cole Brings Plenty. Cole was a Lakota actor who was found murdered with his hair cut. Rising Hearts has asked that everyone, indigenous or not, wear braids to honor him and remember those that have suffered the same.

If you can't braid your hair, then share posts of others!

Now is also a good time to share some support to indigenous charities, if you're able

So a free tool called GLAZE has been developed that allows artists to cloak their artwork so it can't be mimicked by AI art tools.

AI art bros are big mad about it.

#as someone whose not just a writer but also an artist #FUCK UP AI‼️‼️‼️
