Brooke's Journal Part 1

Origins: "The Worst Birthday I've ever had"

I think the only way I'm gonna be able to cope with this is if I detach myself from it. If I treat it like it's something that happened to someone else, a crime scene I only ever saw pictures of, at an address I don't recognize, it feels less... personal.

Even if I know for a fact that it was.

Well, no matter how little I wanna talk about it, I'm probably gonna regret not writing this down.

I was going home late after work. A few of my co-workers made me a cake to celebrate my eighteenth birthday. It was good. They talked me into staying late with them to decorate the office for the winter holidays. Something about how my desk was always decorated the best. I doubt any of us were expecting that me staying late would save my life.

As the bus pulled up to the stop, I noticed the red and blue lights around the corner. It wasn't until I actually rounded the corner that I realized they were in front of my house.

I remember being confused and concerned. This is the point where everything becomes a bit of a blur.

They almost didn't let me in. It took a few minutes of convincing. I think Red Hood was there. He really didn't want to let me in.

Walking in was really jarring.

Everyone was in the living room. It looked like they were decorating the tree.

This would have been my second year celebrating Christmas with them. The only family that would want me around for more than a year. The only family I wanted to be around for more than a year.

It followed the Joker's typical M.O. in a few key ways: the "haha"s written on the walls, green purple and red spray paint, and the sides of everyone's mouths cut like that one Yo-Kai. That said, I'm honestly not convinced it was the Joker. He's not exactly the type to make home visits without being damn sure Batman would show up.

That aside, the entire house was completely ransacked. Furniture was destroyed, a few doors were torn off the hinges, plates and glasses were shattered on the floor.

By the time I went upstairs to my room to see what had survived, Batman had showed up. He and Red Hood insisted on sticking with me. I'm honestly grateful for it.

Upon opening the door to my shared room, a click sounded and before I could react, a bomb went off. I'm damn lucky batman was there. He used his cape to shield me from the blast. I remember wondering what the hell it was made of to be able to block a fucking bomb at point blank and have all three of us get out of it without a scratch.

The worst part was after the smoke cleared.

On my wall, in bright red paint, were the words "where did you go?" along with my deadname.

Everything of mine was torn to shreds. All I could salvage was a silver bracelet with red roses that was under my bed. I don't even remember where I got it.

That's not even the end of the story.

After all that, Batman told the commissioner to "call their mutual friend" and "let him know the bat's calling in a favor". Then he turned to Red Hood and told him to keep an eye on me until "he" got there. He drove off while I got taken to the police station, and I was wracking my brain trying to think of what I was gonna do, who was I going to stay with, my phone had died on the bus ride home and I didn't have any family I could reach out to anyway.

As I was spiraling I heard a car pull up outside, and moments later, Bruce Wayne sat down across from me.

He offered to let me stay with him until I could get on my feet, and without anywhere else to go, I accepted.

I write this entry from my bedroom in the manor. I have nothing to my name but the clothes I wore to work that day, the few things I had in my backpack, a bracelet I found under my bed, and my smartphone (but no charger).

At this point, I'm not sure what I can do. Tomorrow I'm going to get a charger, call my boss, and figure out where the hell I go from here.

The 109-page indictment paints the movement to oppose the construction of a massive police training center in the Atlanta area’s Weelaunee Forest as a criminal conspiracy, and it goes back to the Minneapolis police department’s killing of George Floyd, which took place almost a year before Cop City was announced.

By doing so, the National Lawyers Guild said in a press statement, the indictment “attempts to render all mass protest against police violence and racism—including the killing of Rayshard Brooks by Atlanta police—an ‘unlawful conspiracy’ or ‘racketeering.’ ”

Brooke's Journal Part 2

Origins: Finding a Mentor

I better hope to whatever gods are out there that no one finds this entry, because it could easily cost me my career.

I recently was approached by a woman whose name I will not write for her safety and mine, offering me a sort of apprenticeship.

for multiple years now, I have been carefully committing repeated theft on specific locations as a sort of "punishment" for the evil deeds committed by people in power, since the law certainly wasn't doing anything.

I thought I was doing well to avoid getting caught, but apparently not well enough, because this woman had noticed and decided that I needed her help.

She offered me a job on behalf of her colleague who wanted to take me under her wing as an apprentice in theft. I, of course, pretended I didn't know what she was on about, because why on earth would I admit to committing crimes regularly?

Regardless, she gave me a time and a place and told me to come alone, and I am nothing if not incredibly curious by nature. I had my self defense handgun tucked in my boot (it's a tiny replica of an 18th century handgun, and a gift from an old friend), so I was confident I would be walking out of there in one piece.

Turns out, it was not a trap by criminals or police, and instead I met with Cat-woman, who promptly took me on as her protégé. She handed me a burner phone I could use to contact her at any time, and promised that the next time we met, she'd help me pick a codename and design a costume.

I'm already thinking about my name... the chance to work with THE Cat-woman, how could I possibly pass this up?

[novemberhope]

So me and @indig0pearl went to eat ramen today and I ended up buying stuff...^^ Got originally Usopp in my blindbox but I switched with @indig0pearl for Brook since she already had a Brook. Then at TK Maxx we found Zoro and Luffy rice chips... unfortunately I don't like ketchup that much so I had to pass on Zoro (shame!) but I decided to get Luffy instead. ♥

Man of the People

The commentator David Brooks -- who has made a career out of piously trolling liberals for their supposed decadence and lack of morals -- posted a photo on Twitter with the caption “This meal just cost me $78 at Newark Airport. This is why Americans think the economy is terrible.” Pictured in the photo were a hamburger and French fries with what appeared to be a fairly large glass of whiskey. Social media users quickly identified the restaurant in question, and the owner chimed in to confirm that the food portion of Brooks' meal cost around $18, with rest of the tab being liquor.

Old Money Style

꒱࿐♡ ˚.*ೃ

The old money style is the fashion style of old rich people since many génération. This style appear in 19th century in Europe in the aristocracy and royalty and later in the northern America.

This style inclueded for Women:

-Blazers, women's cut suit pants, satin shirt or wool shirt, polo, tweed co-ord, elegant turtleneck sweater, small heels, mocassins, long tight dresses/skirts, polo, black sunglasses, birkin Hermes Bags, elegant belts, satin scarf on the colar/ in hair, woolen sweaters, golden jewerly, pearl jewerly and elegant hairstyles.

and for Men:

-Basic shirt/ whool shirt, simple belts, woolen sweater, golden jewerly, polo, whool pants/short (for summer), elegant expensive watch, coton sweat, white/beige/light blue regular jeans,and mocassin for shoes or simple beige sneakers.

Now the question is " we need to be rich to adopt the old money style ?", i think the answer is yes, cause this is not just a fashion style this is also a life style and to have this style you need clothes with the best quality like the real old money, and not buy this types of clothes on a fast fashion brand with bad quality.

However it's not forbidden to adopt this fashion style without being "rich" but do not buy on fast fashion bad brand it's really not "old money".

And right now the brands where adherent of this style buy their clothes:

Ralp Lauren, Chanel, Dior (for special occasion outfits), Hermes, Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, Cartier, Prada, Gucci, Brooks brothers and J.Crew
