Who was the first villain you sympathized with? Was it your dad or someone else?

no, it wasn’t my dad. i hated him too much back then for that to ever be possible. though the first time i felt genuine sympathy for a criminal was another bank robber. ironic, isn’t it? i had little over a year of going around as spoiler, and he was on his first strike.

he was a desperate man, and i could see it in his eyes, his actions. jittery hands, stuttered words, shifting eyes. i remember it all. he cried while i called the cops. he said his son wanted to be robin and his little girl wanted be batgirl. he said the boy was sick… they had no insurance since he was laid off. that was why he was robbing the bank…

it wasn’t a feign plea like the ones my dad used on batman, i knew it, it was more of a… confession.

so when he got out and punched me in the face, i didn’t chase after him for too long.

MUN QUESTIONS.

 Q1.   if you could write your character your way in their own movie, what would it be called, what style would it be filmed in, and what would it be about?    A1.  action movie all the way. it would feature the batman: eternal story w/ some major changes regarding steph’s involvement; mainly i would mingle in some of preboot history. occasional flashbacks to stephanie’s god awful childhood to provide background on why she’s so angry at arthur. crystal wouldn’t disappear by the end of it.

 Q2.   what would their soundtrack / score sound like?  A2.   a healthy mix of soundtrack music especially composed for the movie & some post-punk, rock, hip hop to add to the atmosphere of gotham

 Q3.   why did you start writing this character?  A3.    i’ve said it many times before, i was always fascinated by the idea of there ever being a girl robin in the comics that i had never heard of. when i learnt she was batgirl, by heart-eyes levels went off the roof. the more i read about steph, further i liked & identified with her. whens entered roleplaying she seemed like a nice fit for me to grasp as i continued to get more involved in comics. i didn’t plan to fall so much in love with her character, but after writing her for 4 yrs, i’ve become practically a one woman stephanie brown defense squad

 Q4.   what first attracted you to this character?  A4.   two words: girl. wonder

 Q5.   describe the biggest thing you dislike about your muse.  A5.   she tends to speak & act without thinking, mostly in the heat of the moment. while sometimes it is blessing, some others she has ended up severely damaging other people & her relationships with them. this has made her be a little more guarded with her feelings, evading to even say the good things.

 Q6.   what do you have in common with your muse?  A6.   i also tend to put my foot in my mouth, though it takes me far more to realize i’ve done it. i try to keep an optimistic look at things too, but inside i’m cynical as they come. i can also be just as hardheaded tbh

 Q7.   how does your muse feel about you?  A7.  i think she likes me--most of the time. when i’m not putting her thru needless pain & suffering just cuz it’s entertaining for me.

 Q8.   what characters does your muse have interesting interactions with?  A8.   goddamn--well, there’s a lot of people i’ve interacted w/ over the years, so it’s hard to pick & choose. there’s definitely a lot of people i loved interacting w/ that now are sadly gone, & there’s nothing i can do about that. but anyways, let’s see if i can do this

there’s cass, who is as close as it gets to having a sibling for steph. they’re always Up to Something; either between them or against each other. when things get low for one, they’re always for each because they know what it’s like to be seen by others (& amongst the bats themselves) as potential trouble. they’re truly the epitome of the term hetero life partners.

then there’s tim. they have had their ups & downs, but they’re finally at a stable place where they can call each other close friends once more. joint patrols are only made awkward by the fact they are naturally awkward people. (also the earth 3 threads are 👌👌 certified gold)

on the other hand we have tim who is both a blessing & the bane of steph’s existence. everything is made 10x worse by the fact that they there’s a major lack of communication & repressed feelings between them. but hey, even if they took one step forward & two steps back, there has been some progress made.

we also have kon who is slowly but surely becoming one of steph’s favorite people. he’s alway down for some shenanigans. he’s for steph to be around, and he’s definitely made up for the time he had her flying unwillingly.

lately addison & steph have had some super interesting interactions. steph sees a lot of herself from back in her spoiler days in the young vigilante, beyond the obvious physical similarities. she wants to help her reach her potential in a more consistent manner than she had herself--now if only addy would let her know wtf is going on, that would help.

this is getting super long so i’m just gonna quickly mention sheri, tim, kuvira, kory & scott (im prolly missing a few people but this is too long already forgive me. basically, if ur tagged in this thing ilu ok 💖) 

 Q9.   what gives you inspiration to write your muse?  A9.  i guess seeing the people above & just people i want to interact w/ really brings out my muse. reading & re-reading comics definitely does help too; i constantly have this nagging feeling to fix where dc fucks steph up tbh

 Q10. how long did this take you to complete?  A10. i dunno--like 2-3 hrs?? i drafted this & came back to it a couple of times lmao

[grrlwonder-archive]

it’s been nearly a month since we got any news about steph (i’m honestly feelin the withdrawal syndrome tbh) so i’ve decided that instead of having steph be actively interfering w/ batman & co’s operations, she’s going to be doing her own thing in the suburbs. the bats tend to say in the inner city, so she’s technically safe there if she keeps a low profile.

after the confrontation w/ the whole team, she left harper’s place, gathered up all the money she had & went awol. right now she’s not staying at a specific place, just jumping from one to another so none of the bats can find her while she chases leads & knocks up the occasional drug dealer. sometimes she stays at friend’s, but she since doesn’t want anyone form her old life to know what she’s actually doing, she tends to stay a night or two & then bounces off. 

tl;dr: spoiler’s back in the suburbs!!

Steph, who was the one person you hated the most for a long time, but forgiven recently?

i suppose the honors to that go to bad father.

for the larger part of my life i LOATHED him; i wanted him away from mom and me. i still want him away from us… but i don’t hate him anymore. that doesn’t mean i love him, or even LIKE him. i understand why he did what he did, but that doesn’t excuse him. i don’t hate him because, despite everything, we did have some good times. and then he got caught, he took out his anger on mom and me, and it wasn’t fair. i don’t love him.

and i suppose i’ve come to realize hating him was giving him too much importance in my life when he doesn’t really deserve it, ya know.

Steph, when did you say I love you to Tim?

☾━ @frostbite883

like, for the first time–or in general?

the first time i said it had slipped out, but DEFINITELY felt it. it was something like: ‘love you!’ nothing too special about it. but  it was… scary, yet liberating–like getting a big weight lifted off my chest. the second time i said was much easier.

after that it was EASY to let out, even on more casual occasions; like, on the phone while saying goodnight. and even though i said more often, i don’t think that changed my feelings about or the fact that i MEANT it when i said it. if anything it was… reassuring. yeah.

sometimes i still tell him i love him, because i do; although it’s DIFFERENT now. platonic, i guess is the word.
