Description So I finally figured out what I want to do for certain with my Batman OC Leslie Smith.
Originally I had a history planned out for her, and it was actually incredibly dark, even for some of my characters, with a traumatic event that not only was a topic I was nervous about putting in writing due to being a huge subject for controversy, but would also later result in her death, long-term. The whole point of it was to teach a lesson to one of my former watchers who I had butted heads with often. Since that person's account has since been deactivated, Leslie's just sat at the back of my mind, not doing a lot.
But lately, not only has =the-dragon-childe been asking if I'm considering doing more with my wannabe-harajuku girl is going to be seen again, but I've also allowed ~Little-Red-XOXO to use Leslie as a side character with a plot point, and since then, I've been wondering what I want to do with her. After all, Les deserves better than what I was originally going to do with her.
...and then ~Yezno and I started watching Justice League together. And holy cannoli, Copperhead is hilarious.

And somehow when I was at work today, I wound up with Simon Curtis's song, "Pit Of Vipers," stuck in my head, and this was the result.

Everyone, may I introduce my newest pairing? Props to =the-dragon-childe for being the Queen of Shipping Names.
Not only am I going to rewrite Leslie's story from the ground up, but I'm now shipping her with Copperhead.
And the little line at the top isn't exactly a joke, per se. I'm planning on having them (as probably one of my more weird, odd couples,) totally switch things up as one of my pairings. They literally run into each other at the mall, Copperhead probably with the intent of causing chaos and stealing things, Leslie with the intent of shopping. And when the Justice League finally arrives on the scene, Leslie has somehow foiled Copperhead's plans by turning him into her personal pack mule to haul around all her purchases. And it just gets sillier and fluffier from there on.

Some DC girls pick up their rogue boyfriends at asylums or prisons. Leslie got hers at the mall.

Already throwing together a bit of a playlist for them:
"Pit Of Vipers" by Simon Curtis
"Love Somebody" by Maroon 5
"Lessons In Love" by Neon Trees
"Poison" by Groove Coverage (I'm blaming ~itaZuran for that one.)
"Criminal" by Britney Spears
"Your Body" by Christina Aguilera
"Love Bites [So Do I]" by Halestorm
"Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse

Hope you guys got a giggle out of this!

*snorts* Poor Copperhead.. Foiled by Leslie's shopping intents. That is quite brilliant!

I remember I hated Copperhead as a kid.. I can't remember why!

Why thank you! l3 Never let it be said that an everyday mall brat can't be a hero every once in a while!

I think I hated almost all the villains in JL/JLU as a kid, really. Maybe it's just part of being a kid and loving the superheroes, it's a hatred based on the principle of the thing. Like, "this is a cool villain, but man I hate 'em 'cause they're EEEEVVVILLLL." Mind you, I did not expect to like him when I started rewatching the series a couple months ago. I kept watching him goof up and be a total dork, and kept going, MAN YOU'RE AN IDIOT, and eventually, I just adored how stupid he can be, so I couldn't help it.

*laughs* Well, I will keep that in mind!

Hmm, that might be true! I remember I hated when my friends wanted me to be a villain! I cried about it, actually
It's fun.. 'cause it tends that peeps end up loving the villains more than the superheroes.
I can't wait to get to the JLU episodes. I think the JL started out really slow :/

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to DerbyMask [2013-06-18 21:44:01 +0000 UTC]



Awww, sweetie! I hated it too, when I had to be villains when I was playing with any cousins or friends growing up. Especially if I got tacked with being "The Biggest Baddest Villain" because I was the oldest.
That's very true. I do love a lot of the heroes still, but the villains start growing on ya, after a while.
Yeah, JL started out really slow. It's worth it though, watching the series the whole way through.

Awwh. *patpat* It was back then the biggest insult you could give to another
But that's the pain about being the oldest, sometimes. Hah, I wanted to be the 'princess big sister' every time we played.. oh, dear, it brings embarassing memories
Exactly! I've taken notice how much glam companies give to their villains. DC and Disney are doing this almost all the time, I think.

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to DerbyMask [2013-06-18 22:17:44 +0000 UTC]

That's so true, especially to little girls! Most little boys wouldn't mind being a bad guy, but girls are a bit more sensitive about that.
That's very true! Sometimes as the oldest, you've just got to grit your teeth and bear it. And don't be too embarrassed, I was the same way!
No one does villains quite in the same way Disney does their villains. But DC has always been top-notch when it comes to having interesting glam villains in their work!

Precisely! Ahh, the wonders of childhood!
Mmmhm, Disney makes them pretty charming and most of them have a motive for their hatred. Or, we get a superficial explaination for why they are doing their evil stuff.
Indeed, indeed! But boy, how I wish that they did interesting stories about Poison Ivy, for instance. I think it's very rare to find a comic about her where she isn't just a 'hot lady plant', if you know what I mean?

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to DerbyMask [2013-06-19 20:27:15 +0000 UTC]

Indeed!
Disney's awesome at rounding out their villains and making them interesting and well-motivated!
Oh that's really true! It's rare nowadays that they actually give her interesting stories beyond just "she's the evil plant lady that all the guys fall for because she's so hot." That's a little degrading to her character, really.

True! I like how B:TAS did with her, I think they did a pretty cool version of her
Hah, the most funny version I've seen of her is the Kevin Smith version where she is a pot-smoker the comic is called 'Cacophony', maybe you have read it?

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to DerbyMask [2013-06-20 21:40:20 +0000 UTC]

They really did! They kept her clean enough for it to air on kids' television timeblocks, but she's still got a strong air of sensuality and danger to her even then.
No, though I HAVE heard about it! I really want to find it sometime and read it!

I agree! I love her friendship with Harley, she really helps the poor kid to be a little more independent.

OOOH! Thanks for linking me to it! I'll have to add it to my wishlist so I can buy it later!

YES YOU ARE. In fact, I think I'm going to call you the captain of this ship, considering if it weren't for you mentioning JL back in February to begin with, I may not have sat down and started watching it again.

Well it's true! His entire snakesuit is like, "I AM A HIGH-FASHION PRADA ORIGINAL, SO FEAR MY FABULOCITY."

No worries, I'm the same way! The dorky softies especially getcha, because you can't look at them and not go, "N'aaawwwww, poor bby." Yes, he really does, doesn't he?

YES. *dramatically places Barbossa's hat on your head* TAKE PRIDE IN THE CHAOS YOU HAVE CREATED, O CAPTAIN MY CAPTAIN.

Oh dear. Copperhead occasionally argues with his suit about their fashion style. This is now headcanon. Whether or not it's all in his head is anyone's guess, of course.

INORITE? They're both just so adorkable.

LIKE A BAWSS.

Poor chibi Copperhead . His face says to me: "I really hope this chick isn't serious," lol.

Great work as always . I've been watching a lot of Justice Legue recently as well. You gotten up to the one with all of Flash's rogues trying to kill him yet? That has got to be the funniest episode ever

Oh my god. Phil, I'm now making that canon. That thought of his will be in the oneshot for them.

And thank you again, Phil dear. Justice League ftw! And NO! I didn't know there was an episode with that yet! XD Now I've GOT to see it!

I'm glad to hear . Sounds like it'll be tons of fun to read .

Let me know when you do watch! I think it is called "Flash and Substance". And it may be in the Unlimited series but I'm not 100% sure on that .

By the way, when we get a chance to Skype, you gotta tell me a bit more about Leslie XD. I think I've missed her appearances in you work so far! Sorry!

Oh Copperhead, you should have realized sooner just how good a handle/leash your tail would make. Having something like that is really just asking for it

Must have been quite a scene though seeing him made into a shopping pack mule, quite a few people must have been staring at that wondering what the heck was going on.

Yoru-the-Rogue In reply to Deaku [2013-05-09 19:11:24 +0000 UTC]

So true, isn't it? I can't recall off the top of my head if his tail is ever used against him in JL/JLU but it should be.

I'm going to have to write that into the oneshot now.

Out of all of your characters, who do you think is best fit to be in high school? ^^

Im making a fanfiction on high school with the bat family ^^ and i was wondering who would be best fit? (Well if you give me permission to use your character XD) (oh and the timeline is between Damian Wayne in high school and Tim in collage ^^)

In high school?

You have permission to use my characters of course! I trust you! (Damian's in high school? What year, exactly? Is he a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior? I'm just asking because it'll help me better pinpoint my own characters' ages in relation to him.)

Hmm...I could see Spooks (or Julius, as his real name is,) being a Senior. Which would probably make Wisp (Esperanza) around Sophomore-Junior like Damian. Oh! And the Riddler and Wraith's twins, Lionel and Andromeda (also known as Double Act, the young villain duo trained by Two-Face,) Sophomores.

Oh?? I didn't expect you to approve so fast, my dear. Especially since you've not watched a lot of Justice League and aren't familiar with Copperhead. He's like, the biggest dork of a villain ever. Batman and the rest of the League don't have to outsmart him--he does it for them. He's a clumsy idiot, and he's kind of pathetic. Which probably means Leslie's more than a match for him. Which would explain why she somehow gets him to be her pack mule.

I take it you still have some high JErin muse?

I know but it's so hilarious to read about her foiling his plans & getting him to carry her bags for her! It's just too funny & adorable at the same time! & the fact he actually gets talked into that, yeah, i can see why the Justice League doesn't really have to outsmart him.

PFFFFFTTT so true. I imagine it goes something like...
Leslie: You! Yes, you! With the tail!
Copperhead: (Crap someone saw me!) Get lost, honey, if you know what's good for you...
Leslie: *grabs him by the tail* No no no, listen a sec!
Copperhead: Look, I'm not telling you again, legs. Let me go or--
Leslie: *bats her super-mascara-enhanced eyelashes* Oh, pleeeeeease help me out here! I could really, REALLY use help from a big, strong, HANDSOME guy like yyyouuuuu.
Copperhead: ...oh?
Leslie: Your tail is soooooo big and soooo long...*innocent smile and more batting of the eyes* How much weight can it carry?
Copperhead: *mind in the gutter* Huh? You don't look like you weigh more than--
Leslie: *immediately hangs four shopping bags on his tail* OOOH! PERFECT!
Copperhead: ...what...what just happened?
