"Please stop asking how I got in here," the white haired kid said, annoyance laced in his voice, "All I want to know is if any of you can do detective work in the supernatural world!"

Constantine just barely opened his mouth before the kid turned on him, "Not you! You have terrible reviews!"

Bruce tensed as Lazarus green eyes locked on him, "How about you? You're the worlds greatest detective, right? I know you probably won't take gold as payment since Bruce Wayne is your sugar daddy, but I can offer up information on the Infinite Realms instead!"

Batman, calm and collected even as Green Arrow and Flash snickered from across the room, "Infinite Realms?"

Phantom grinned, "Is that an agreement? Cause Prince Psaro could really use your help. He has so many questions, and the answers may save his life. You want to save the life of a teenage boy surrounded by demons and monsters, don't you?"

Bruce stared at the teen, not looking away even with Constantine motioning not to agree, Bruce nodded.

And in a moment, they were gone. They reappeared in a grand hall with a ruby eyed teenager looking impossibly small from his place on the massive throne. Silver hair shined oddly in the light of the purples flames that danced in the sconces, making the boy seem more ethereal.

"Hey Psaro!" The white haired kid from before greeted, "I brought you a detective like you asked. Don't forget you have to teach me magic now!" The first teen vanished without a trace leaving Batman and what he now recognized as an angsty goth alone together.

As it turns out Psaro had many questions and offered to pay him a generous amount in gold each day.

Some of his questions include:

What kingdom was my human mother a princess of?

Why can't I remember key information from my childhood, such as my brothers very existence?

I was framed for the murder of all of the "Chosen Heros" loved ones. How do I prove im innocent before he comes to take off my head?

Why do Rose's tears shatter?

Is there a way to stop his younger brother from destroying the world without caging him or killing him?

Ect.

Bruce has his work cut out for him, but between the mysterious white haired kid popping in now and then to give him cryptic conversations, the team on litteral monsters he was given to defend himself with, and his access to royal libraries and vaults this might not be so bad

Stephanie Brown:

Is poor

Has an abusive dad who was also a supervillain and that led to her becoming a superhero to spoil his plans but she focused a lot on helping out other less fortunate people in addition to fighting crime

Did badly often in school despite her extreme intellegence

Has anger issues and violent tendencies that manifest in her getting extra brutal in fights and being lowkey mean in general but she almost entierly directs it to people who deserve it

Is emotionally intense with ways of showing friendship that her classmates found offputting and that led to her being isolated from them and having almost no friends

Listens to Metallica

Took Tim Drake on a date to a shitty basement party with a bunch of alt teens

Was willing to kill at 14,including her own dad and only changed that because Bruce Wayne convinced her too

Loved Cassandra Cain romantically in a gritty dark future Batman run,has been Batwoman in two which is a mantle that has been held exclusively by a Kate Kane who is a butch lesbian and has shown multiple hints of being bi in the main timelines

Yelled and screamed at and even assaulted grown ass adults in her teen years for treating her badly with no fear and this stays into her adulthood

Grew up to be a Team Mom by at least her Batgirl days and the targets of her mothering were a biracial boy(Damian Wayne),two darkskin black girls(Nell Little and Tiffany Fox),a japanese girl(Maps Mizoguchi)and MANY other unnamed kids we see her being implied to care for

Presents super femininely but in a way that most guys in-universe find bad instead of attractive and she dosen't care about this because she dosen't want normies

Is a literature nerd,an artist,a gamer,a pianist AND a gymnist

Makes her own superhero gear

Uses optimism for a better world and trauma fueled spite as her motivation for heroism

Got treated like shit by almost everyone as a kid but we see this explicitly in her hero days with how much Bruce puts her down because she wasn't good enough for him

Does activism even outside of hero work

Is canonically pastel punk and accidentally autistic-coded and genuinely a real weirdgirl,not a fucking 'basic white girl' or a queen bee just because she's blonde and blue eyed and it's worth noting she's also been described as flat-chested as a jab but it not working because she loves her looks perfectly and that she's never shown any particular liking for being blonde and seeing as she got her hair from her dad,this is completely valid

She's Stephanie Brown,not Stacie White.Stop.Making.Her.Only.Trait.Her.Gender.Babygirl deserves better

I'm feeling really cranky tonight and I don't know why. Like yes the things I'm being cranky about are making me cranky but usually they don't annoy me so much?

#like yes my new original f/f piece went essentially ignored but I expect that #yes someone 'helpfully' explained sth I already knew on an OTNF post but I expect that #I just had a nice day with my mom and made a huge step with my regency ttrpg I should be feeling good #is it just because it's sunday night?#admittedly point one is a slightly sorer thing than usual because there was another otnf anon complaining about lack of f/f etc #and I was like jfc if you spent the energy of writing those ten paragraphs on supporting f/f writers maybe there would be more f/f #and that is essentially the problem #nothing I write will ever be as compelling to a lot of people as complaining about the lack of f/f and the bias toward m/m #and that obviously makes me feel very insecure about my prospects as a writer #okay! it's after ten I should not be trying to think analytically about myself #it me

anticipatory grief is actually one of the worst things in the world I hope nobody ever has to deal with it

#stupid shit #this is actually more of an anxiety thing but whatever I'm having an episode rn #I have a job interview tomorrow for a job that if I get it will essentially be taking up my nights and weekends #and that's kinda the way it has to be for the next year and a half and I'm trying to learn to just accept it #until I graduate #then I can get a normal person job #and I was fine up until about an hour or so ago #thinking about how I'm not going to be seeing my mom as much #and my mom is a very touchy subject for some reason to me #her medicine is working fine *knock on wood*#but I still feel this sense of overwhelming guilt #like I'm doing something absolutely horrible by leaving her #I constantly feel like the second I'm not within the same building as her she's going to just die #and I know I just need to do this #But I'm just having a really hard time thinking about leaving her #In my head it tells me i'm essentially leaving my mom for a year and a half maybe even more depending on how quickly I can get a new job #after graduation #so we're not party rocking

dear lord i am not going to survive this martini

#my goal this year is to build up my big girl liquor cabinet starting today because 1) new school year and 2) bc liquor store august sale #ends today #so what's on sale this month? gin. great ill start with a martini. classic cocktail right? this cannot possibly go wrong.#no one fucking warned me. this tastes like. so in covid when hand sanitizer was scarce my mom bought 99% industrial alcohol and mixed it #with aloe vera gel and some essential oils for scent to make her own. and this tastes how i imagine that would taste #i also got some disaronno and made an amaretto sour which was delightful. a bit perfumey but it was my first time making one ill get better #so not a total waste but oh my god #“just dump it out” i paid good money for this and im no quitter i Will finish it. but this has been the worst kind of learning experience #eve.txt

i mentioned taking my baby out to the store because i feel bad that ive kinda kept her cooped up. why did my sister make me feel bad for even suggesting it bc the weather is still hot and theres no reason i guess??

#but new moms take their babies out ALL OF THE TIME #its not like im taking her on a walk in 100°F weather....#and she'll only be outside going from the car to the building but i guess my sister thinks even thats too much...#im really considering ignoring her bc the essentials i need CANNOT wait

ohhhh my god. okay. so. my aunt does like, she buys random junk in bulk from retail wholesalers and then resells it on like, facebook marketplace and ebay and stuff. whatever. so my mom works for her. makes a flat $50 a day, regardless of the fact that shes disabled and doing hard labor for at least 8 hours a day, often 10+. and min wage here is $10 an hour but mom argued that $50 a day is still more than what she would make working the same hours at an actual job because of taxes...like girl that would be 50% taxes. you do not pay that fucking much. so thats already Bad.

but today mom shows me a video of a knife theyre gonna sell, and i watch 2 seconds and i realize its an automatic knife, and i tell her hey. thats illegal to possess in this state. let alone sell! and mom is like ohhh [aunt] knows what shes doing itll be fine.... we sell knives on there all the time she just doesnt put pictures and calls them something else on the listing to get around fb/ebays policies :)

LIKE. HELLO. THATS NOT BETTER. YOURE COMMITTING MULTIPLE CRIMES. *AS YOUR JOB.* and she was just like "its not a big deal she knows what shes doing." folks, this is the same aunt that, very illegally, paid me to sort through her clients confidential tax documents and bank records and stuff. because she works for a bank. and took the records home to sort them. i dont think she DOES know what shes doing, actually!

#why do both of my parents need to be so impressively incompetent. i like. cannot find the words for how . i feel about this #like. idc about crimes. go forth. be free. but maybe. just maybe. you should not make your job #“hi today i will post about how i am selling illegally possessed objects on a widely used public forum”#dont do crimes STUPID. yanno.#in other parent news. its now like. month 6 or so of dad refusing to get his insurance reinstated.#hes been on the same step (taking his paystubs to the dhhr office) for like 3 months?#anyway apparently he found out today/last night that when he was a kid he was diagnosed with gastroparesis !#which is like ! cool! you have a diagnosis AND ive been living with that for 16 years and can help you 🥰#but we were sitting there with mom (this was right before the knife thing) and she was like “well you gotta get your insurance now so you #can get on the right meds“ and dad was like yeah ill go....#and mom was saying well go in the morning when they open etc etc and he was like i will #and i pointed out that just two weeks ago i told him that too. and he didnt want to. bc hed lose money due to not being able to work #and mom was like well he doesnt work at 8am. and i was like yeah i know but i told him to go at 8am two weeks ago and that was his response #and then he proceeded to claim that this whole time he didnt know they opened at 8am.#folks. he doesnt start working until like...usually 10 or so. WHAT GOVERNMENT OFFICE DOESNT OPEN UNTIL 10.#PLUS. WE LIVE IN A RURAL HOUR. *BUSY* TAKES LIKE AN HOUR. MOST OF THE TIME YOURE IN AND OUT WITHIN 20 MINITES.#ive been fucking considering PAYING HIM to go get it.#and then he claims he didnt know it opened at 8am. when i have told him that. MULTIPLE TIMES.#WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE LIKE THISSSS THEYRE THE MOST IMMATURE ADULTS IVE EVER MET AND THATS IMPRESSIVE!!!#IVE KNOWN PEOPLE WHO PAY THEIR RENT IN COKE OR WHO ARE ESSENTIALLY PROFESSIONAL PARTIERS. AND *THEYRE* MORE RESPONSIBLE AND MATURE THAN MY #PARENTS. SO WHAT GIVES.#also theyre 50 like cmon yall. youre not even 20 or 30. i think you should know how to not like. get your job shut down or die of lack #of medication.#did i tell yall one of the times a few months ago i was nagging dad abt getting his insurance #his response was literally. no exxageration.#he was like oughhh i dont wanna see doctors because then theyll find out somethings wrong with me #and ill have to go on a bunch of medication.#and then he actually for real. said.#“being on too many medications killed my grandma”#even mom was like cmon man. thats not even true. they misdiagnosed her and put her on WRONG meds. she wasnt even on that many.

i hate the tourism industry like. so much actually. haha

#tourism absolutely choked the life out of my family's farm and all the other family owned farms in the community. lol. lmao.#we helped with a little farm work today and man....it's all so different now. we're now a small city of old rich people #who have essentially pushed out all the farms and fields. its all developing subdivisions and new apartment complexes now.#man...#winter speaks #personal #like i don't know how to express the grief i feel for the way of life i had growing up. and the way of life my mom and dad had growing up.#and their moms and dads. and their moms and dads before them.#we have always been farmers from both sides of the family it's in our blood as much as music is and now it's just...gone.#my youngest brother doesn't even know what it's like to wake up at the asscrack of dawn to go feed the calves.#there's an entire chunk of our family's history and heritage that he will never be fully connected to.#i just....man. man

feeling complicated things this wednesday at 2pm

#thinking abt how at the tail end of high school both friend groups Completely cut me off..one because 1 girl was jealous the other #was soending more time with me and was tired of being essentially bullied by her. but not enough to not cut me out :')#and the other bc the Main Girl decided she didnt like me calling her out for being a jackass so she condemned me and the rest were too #afraid to challenge her lol. they ended up literally replacing me with a kid 2 yrs younger that i had previously been assigned as big siste #to??? lol and even she was happy to be included which. fine she was a kid not really her fault #but then 1 month after graduating wgich i sat thru Alone omi had her 1st stroke and then the hospital failed to notice the 2nd one she had #in their care. so my best and only friend in the world had her life stolen from her and her biggest fear realized overnight.#so ofc i completely shut down and ny mom is so personally offended by this she becomes wildly cruel and bullies the fuck out of ME #and i had already been suicidal for like a decade at that point and was Only staying alive for her sake. suddenly that was all for nothing #so i give up get into drugs and alcohol after having never touched any if it VEHEMENTLY being against it at all but fuck it at that point #which spirals into me dating my ex who was my new boss after my parents forced me to get a new job despite already deciding i was gonna kms #so he sexually harasses me until i say sure fuck it why not . except it turns out i fall in love easily. bc i had never dated before.#and then im public enemy number one for this and all the family friends and STRANGERS regardless of watching ne grow up or not #decide to jump on the lets attack slash be rude to slash bully this kid even more so they KNOW we dissaprove #anyway. its been a very long 9 years.#this is me Still leaving significant shit out too. god lol i was ROBBED of my early adulthood truly

tried unsuccessfully once again to explain to my parents that despite my best efforts i can not budget myself out of being broke because i am literally paid poverty wages

#mentioned that i could not afford new tires and my mom was like #well you might just have to cut some things out #my sister in christ i have already cut out almost everything i can #the things i spend money on that aren't strictly necessary are the few small joys that make me want to be alive #like. getting a little coffee treat once a week is not the reason i can't afford car maintenance #cutting out the $5 a month i spend on saffron will not buy me tires #not when rent is over 50% of my income #i can afford groceries and essentials but like. that's pretty much it

love waking up to my mom giving me an ultimatum and ordering that i have to give up my (admittedly expensive) apartment 1n 2 weeks and move back home for good. i had stuff to do today but i guess being gripped by dread and anxiety works too

#i had been thinking about moving to a smaller one too. but now she's ordering me to do that #and expects me to move back home #when my university and all of my two friends are in the city.#and i have TWO WEEKS to live here if she wants me to move before summer because i have to go back home anyway in early may #for my summer job.#like sure i wouldve understood like a hey. my child. your financial situation is oretty tough so i have some suggestions that could help #but she was like okay here's whay you do: option a) [something i couldnt do before fall] b) find a cheaper apartment and live in two weeks #c) move home for good and commute over an hour any day you have university stuff to do and also essentially lose access to your #friends and all and any independence you have managed to cobble together so i can treat you like a child and yeall at you #the last part wasnt included but it's what she does anyways so i assume it's part of the deal #then i would have to commute or drive an hour any time i wanted to see either of my friends. after every summer im already #tired and desperate to come back to my apartment to get to be on my own. and now she's saying i have to never do that again #and here's the fuckin thing. her husband is planning on fixing my car. my mom pays my phone bill. i know what a loser i am whatever.#she actually owns my dogs and my childhood home. i cannot. piss her ofd too much. because then i'll lose all of those #phone. whatever i can get a new one. car. slightly more heartbrwakin but like i still own it. but the house?#my dogs?? i think i would rather die atm if im being honest #so what the fuck am i supposed to do. huh.#maybe i should just walk into the sea foe good i feel like that would just so neatly solve all of my problems

ate some uncle john’s for breakfast

the spicy chicken fillet burger is frickin’ good, while the great taste white chillz is surprisingly delicious

the salted caramel chillz sucks ass tho

#luckily mine was the great taste white #my mom almost got the cloud9 chillz but we decided against it #also the burger came with a new york dressing #which essentially tastes like the dressing in jollibee’s chicken sandwich supreme #so i think this is a good alternative to the chickenwich!#the meaningful jargon

I am so grateful to be part of an intergenerational community again but it’s been a long week at my synagogue and I am holding a lot of emotions. Too many, some might say

#like last week my mom’s best friend got a new job so we took him out for lunch! yay!#but then my mentor’s brother died suddenly. so I’m going to shiva tonight #and like. this is the essential work of being in community but. A Lot Is Going On #oh and of course Passover is coming.#rare pic of me in the wild

#officially moving in with my boyfriend once my lease is up in a few weeks.#even though I haven’t left his house in months #I broke the news to my mom yesterday and it went surprisingly well #essentially ‘well I don’t agree with it but I’ll support you’#I wasn’t necessarily looking for her approval. I just know that if it had gone badly it was gonna be A Thing for the next 3 years #I’m sure it will still be A Thing next time I see my parents but idc anymore. I’m just glad I don’t have to hide it anymore #anyway pray for me over the next month while I move and continue to dump cryptic family drama on here

very epic that companys can contract someone for 4 years and string them along and decide to not renew without warning thats awesome :^) anyways when can workers start breaking upper management’s legs again

#moms bf who essentially is paying our bills #jsut got that news from an insurance company #that had basically lead him to believe they were going to hire him on #that they simply werent renewing like for no reason #after STRINGING HIM ALONG FOR FOOOOUR YEARS. FOUR. HE IS IN HIS 60S
