AU where Jonathan Sims, Head Archivist of the Magnus Institute, London, keeps getting statements about this weird tiny town in Michigan called, Hatchetfield. Said statements include people talking about the events of Perky’s Buds and Jane’s a Car, alongside NPMD because that's the only Hatchetfield stage show where people actually survived. He’s half-convinced that Hatchetfield isn't a real place, and these statements are Tim and his coworkers playing an elaborate prank on him. I mean, it just seems ridiculous. Weed smoking psychic birds? A man fucking his car? The vengeful ghost of some highschool bully seeking vengeance on every “nerdy prude” that's ever lived? It's absurd, really.
So, when he finally caves and looks up Hatchetfield online, imagine his surprise when he learns that it's a real town that he can visit. Queue, Jon impulsively booking a last minute trip to Hatchetfield to see if what he's learned in the statements really holds any water.
Spoiler alert: it does.
Hijinks include him running into trouble with PEIP and meeting another technology disliking man named some variation of "John" (that being General MacNamara), staking it out in the Witchwood and getting shat on by Nighthawks, and digging deep into the mysteries that lurk in the basement of CCRP.

Random, possibly terrible, possibly wonderful, definitely insane idea:
Now that the Dead Boy Detective agency's bigger than it used to be---and the name's not entirely accurate, since it now consists of two dead boys, an alive psychic, a girl who came back from the dead (yes, that's Niko, she's fine in this scenario), a trans-dimensional afterlife worker, and an alive butcher---they're able to take on more cases and do work farther afield, and the word's caught on with a lot of ghosts.
Eventually, they start getting a lot of notices about some weird stuff going on in this small town in Michigan. It's not that unusual at first---missing pageant queens, a haunted forest that's home to more than one giant man-like creature, a corporation whose crimes against humanity veer more towards the paranormal side of things than normal---but when they look closer, they realize that there's something incredibly wrong with the town's relationship with time and reality... and according to the Night Nurse, every single citizen has died at least once.
So, the gang goes to Hatchetfield.
#dead boy detectives#starkid#hatchetfield#you can't tell me that jenny and emma wouldn't get along like a house on fire#and oh my god the CHAOS of crystal and niko going to hatchetfield high while the boys tag along#THINK ABOUT MISS HOLLOWAY MEETING EVERYONE

for @blubblesandink who requested the prompts “two shots of vodka” and “After the night, when I wake up, I’ll see what tomorrow brings” with Nancy! I hope you enjoy this and I apologize for the belated fic!
-
She always goes to a different bar, even she’s still in the city or the state. A few times, she’s at a different country, on the road of her current scoop which gives her an excuse to order exquisite drinks before her usual. Keeps her buzzed and loose enough before she starts the tradition with that somber cloud that never skips a moment precipitating above her head.
But this year, Nancy is in Halifax. The temperatures here are more frigid given the Canadian side of the Atlantic. But she finds herself embracing it more easily than she had in past twenty-eight years next to Lake Michigan, excluding her time abroad. Maybe there’s some truth about living in Canada is easier than in America.
Unless Nova Scotia has its own story of alternate dimensions and bloodthirsty psychic monsters.
She’s not retired yet, but Nancy sees herself moving a little down to a farmhouse at the countryside, maybe with three sheepdogs and a horse for company. She smiles at the thought and files that to the cabinet in her brain specifically saved for the future.
When Nancy takes a seat at the counter, the bartender comes up and asks for her order.
Nancy finds herself hesitating. Debates between her usual and trying something new that would help her ease and settle further into the setting. The bar is cozy, more of a cafe for catching Z’s and seagazing than a commonplace for alcohol and sorrows. There’s even fluffy couches aligned below the windows.
In the end, Nancy stays faithful.
“Two shots of vodka.”
The bartender nods. She looks five years younger than Nancy, one side of hair longer the other and dyed lavender. She’s quick too. Nancy swears by the time ‘vodka’ leaves her lips, the bartender has already slid the drinks over.
“Waiting for someone or is it personal?” She asks with a lopsided grin.
Nancy smiles back, “Personal matter.”
She makes a sympathetic click with her tongue. “Well, if you need anything, another drink or food, let me know.”
Nancy watches her leave to the other end before casting her gaze back to the vodka shots.
In the beginning, the first several years, she had made mental monologues to herself. A mix of self-consciousness of saying anything aloud in public and a silly superstitition that somehow Barb can still hear her.
That’s how it started. In honor of Barb. Every year, on the same day. September the fourth. When Nancy Wheeler and Barbara Holland found each other in kindergarten and stayed together since.
Nancy forgets easily - underestimates - about how much grief can not only fill up your body more than water and how it never gets drained out, no matter how many times she rings it out of the cloth. It always refills.
But that doesn’t mean that the grief reaches the same level as it usually does. Every year, Nancy feels its capacity lower and lower until she’s trending through it by her ankles. Like that part of a beach’s shore where the waves lap around the legs but never soak you or get strong enough to pull you in.
Sometimes, Nancy looks back at those years and wonders how she managed to survive without risking alcohol poisoning like she’d nearly done at Tina’s Halloween party in ‘84.
Nowadays though, her tradition had shifted from honoring Barb’s memory to the Party’s.
They aren't gone gone. But their once fire-forged connection had waned over the decades, especially as the kids had grown older and moved to live on their own. Nancy still talks to Mike, though their last conversation was two months ago when she told him about her move.
Some days, she regrets leaving them so soon. Wishes of another life where she put her own ambitions behind and stayed in touch with the Party.
But those wishes are still regrets. Even the occasional wandering thought of where Steve or Jonathan or Max or anybody was right now will never give her a clear answer.
Nancy taps a finger on her chosen glass. Her recently manicured nail makes tiny clink-clink noises against the edge, creating tiny ripples across the content’s surface.
She sighs. Rolls her neck with a crick - god, she’s getting old - and finally lifts up her shot in salute to nobody and everyone in particular.
“To you, to us.”
She gulps down the vodka. It flows warmly down her throat and settles in her chest like a dragon breathing fire in reverse.
As she places the glass back down, Lavender Hair appears in front of her. Nancy doesn’t jump or flinch.
“What about the other one?” She asks.
Nancy shoulders on her coat and tote bag as she sits up, “I just leave it for a while. Dunno what happens after I leave.” She pauses before chuckling, “Maybe one of the ghosts drinks it.”
Before the bartender can comment, Nancy slaps a ten dollar bill in front of her and leaves the bar.
Outside, she takes a moment to inhale the fresh afternoon air and turn her face towards the sun. It’s barely five in the afternoon but she has an article to finish by tomorrow.

Ring of Horror: Rosemary
Hailing from the Valley of Shadows (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is Holly Letkeman. Better known today by the monstrous moniker of Rosemary. Okay, maybe it's not the most menacing or imposing of names, but Rosemary herself is both those things and more. Plus, Rosemary's Baby—A classic horror flick directed by convicted statutory rapist Roman Polanski so there's a spooky connection to the name. Getting her start in the business in 2008, Letkenman was trained by three Canadian greats, Johnny Divine, Tyson Dux, and Coach Scott D'Amore. She'd work her first match on January 30th, 2008, at a Prime Time Wrestling event in Belleville, Michigan, featuring heavy cross-promotion with the Insane Clown Pose's wrestling promotion, Juggalo Championship Wrestling.
In March, Letkeman took the ring name PJ Tyler, inspired by Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and possibly Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry, and began performing across the Canadian Indies, frequently appearing for Scott D'Amore's Border City Wrestling. By her second year, PJ Tyler could be regularly seen on Pro Wrestling Xtreme and Great Canadian Wrestling shows.—It was in the latter promotion that Tyler picked up her first championship, winning the GCW WILD Champion in a tournament. PJ Tyler's run lasted 117 days before dropping it to some random dude named Anthony Darko. Info on the title change and Darko's run with the belt is .—And not really all that important. Near the end of 2010, Tyler switched up her ring name, dropping the PJ and the Tyler in favor of a Courtney and a Rush.
Courtney Rush didn't slow down, working feverishly across various indies North of the border and somewhat dipping her toe into the United States indie scene, mainly for SHIMMER Women Athletes' taping in Chicago, Il. She'd end up signed to Impact Wrestling in 2016. But before that, Courtney Rush dominated Canadian wrestling, amassing quite a collection of championships, including an 833-day regin with the Acclaim Pro Wrestling Woman's championship, among other not-as-lengthy but still pretty lengthy title runs.
On her own, Courtney Rush was bound to make it. She had all the tools needed to succeed in the industry. It was just a matter of time before Courtney Rush was signed with someone. Unfortunately or fortunately—depending on your perspective—Courtney Rush went, and doggone got herself possessed. Possessed by a demon assassin. Rosemary.
Track 10 off Marilyn Manson's fourth studio album, Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death), filled the Impact Zone on January 26th as Rosemary took the stage. Painted up like some kinda demonic, demented haunted house performer, smudges and smears specked her arms and legs, not a look wrestling fans were accustomed to. She delivered a terrible, nonsensical promo to the Wolves (Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards), who stood in the ring. Fellow Canadian Crazy Steve and fellow monster Abyss joined Rosemary on stage, officially coming together as Decay. The trio attacked the Wolves—Stealing their Tag Team titles in the process. Decay would legitimately hold the titles in March after defeating Beer Money Inc. (Bobby Roode and James Storm) at Sacrifice.—Early in the same show, Rosemary scored a shenanigans-filled win over wrestling legend Gail Gim. In October, Rosemary would get some gold of her own. Winning the vacant TNA Knockouts World Championship in a Six-Sides of Steel match against Jade.
A respectable 266 days with the strap ended with Rosemary dropping the belt in a title vs. title unification match with Global Force Wrestling Women's Champions Sienna (Allysin Kay) at Slammiversary XV. In the weeks leading up to the event, Rosemary turned Face, claiming The Hive had sent her to protect Allie, first saving her from a beatdown from Sienna and Laurel Van Ness. What The Hive exactly is is not entirely clear. It seems to be more of an idea. Or perhaps it's an ageless being from beyond the stars that is psychically and spiritually linked to the being known as Rosemary.
A feud with the debuting Taya Valkyrie would end before it started, thanks to personal issues on Valkyrie's part. Rosemary reentered the title hunt, failing to regain the yet-again vacant Knockouts title in a tournament. The feud with Taya Valkyrie picked right back up once Valkyrie returned. Their short-lived angle concluded in a fancily named hardcore match (A Demon's Dance Match.) No longer preoccupied with the title or Taya, Rosemary could again focus on protecting her pal Allie.
And help, Allie needed. Su Yung had her sights set on ending Allie. On the April 26th, 2018, edition of Impact, Yung, along with a legion of Undead Bridesmaids, attacked Allie, attempting to put her in a coffin.—An attempt stopped by Rosemary. If you're a fan of horror and wrestling, then this is the feud for you. The demonic Rosemary protecting the sweet, innocent Allie from the evil undead bride Su Yung—Chef's kiss. Big, sloppy, chef's kiss. An injury Rosemary sustained at an indie show facilitated her needing to be written off TV a week after the start of the angle. The May 3rd Impact featured a match between Rosemary and Su Yung. At least it was meant to. Before the bell, the women broke into a brawl on the ramp. Yung summed her Undead Bridesmaids, who with them brought a casket. Allie was there too, trying to assist her best friend, Rosemary. It didn't go so well. Allie was forced to watch as Su Yung dumped Rosemary into the casket, sealing her inside.
A lot happened while Rosemary healed up. Allie went, and doggone got herself possessed, turning Heel and aligning with former rival Su Yung. Allie (now going by Dark Allie) and Su Yung teamed up to defeat Jordynne Grace and Kiera Hogan (No relation to former singer/reality star Brooke Hogan) at the January 2019 Homecoming. Rosemary returned that night, saving Kira Hogan from a post-match beatdown and reigniting the storyline with Allie and Su Yung. Rosemary worked to free Allie from the demonic hold that had taken over her. Along with Kira Hogan, at March's Against All Odds event, Rosemary dragged Allie with her into the Undead Realm in hopes of retrieving her friend's soul. -- Rosemary failed to save the soul of Allie, losing her friend forever.
Rosemary's revenge came in May when she laid out Su Yung in a Demon Collar Match (Dog Collar Match) where the ladies worked smart rather than hard. It's not a terrible match. But it does lack the violence and aggression you'd want from such a heated blood feud between two unholy hell beings. Instead of using the chain to brutalize one another, they find creative ways to incorporate its use. Choking spots. Tripping and tangling each other up. Dragging and pulling each other around the ring. It all works. Just would've worked better in a different match with different wrestlers. These two should've been trying to kill each other. They should have bled and broke to finish off this feud. Though Rosemary did take Su Yung prisoner.
Rosemary kept her captive close, having Su Yung accompany her to the ring over the next few weeks until Father James Mitchell had Havok free Yung while attacking Rosemary during a non-title match with Taya Valkyrie. Rosemary continued her unsuccessful pursuit of the Knockouts Title while simultaneously battling James Mitchell, Havok, and Su Yung. The entire saga came to a head with James Mitchell banishing Havok and Yung to the Undead Wasteland and Rosemary rescuing them.
TNA/Impact Wrestling has always been a wee bit silly. But Wrestle House was the undisputed peak of Impact/TNA buffoonery. A goofy Big Brother/Real World-style reality show, except with a vaguely supernatural twist. They can't leave the house, possibly due to a curse from Rosemary. The whole thing was madness. Ridiculous fun to be enjoyed by all but a few wrestling fans with a penchant for brightly colored suits, Southern idioms, and tennis rackets. It might not have been "Real Wrestling," but it was stupid, creative, and different, which is always appreciated. Her time in Wrestle House led Rosemary to form a brief team with former enemy Taya Valkyrie.
The team of Rosemary and Valkyrie competed in a tournament for the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Titles. They lost and stopped teaming after. She wasn't single long. Disbanding her team with Valkyrie in December and getting back with one of her exes by January. Ex-partner, that is, and it was Crazy Steve whom she got back together, reforming Decay—Sans Aybss; in his sted, the group added Luchador Black Taurus and former Rosemary foe-turned-friend Havok. When it comes to the story of Rosemary, it is hard not to be reminded of the famous quote: "Do I not destroy my enemies by making them my friends?" Time after time, rivals become allies.
With Havoc, Rosemary would have her first run with the Impact Knockouts Tag Team Championship. The iconic team of The IInspiration (Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay) took the belts from Decay after 98 days. Rosemary floated around the Knockout Tag and Knockout Women's Championship scenes for a few months with no success. Havok abandoned Rosemary in June, leaving her without a partner to face the Knockouts Tag Team Champions—No longer The IInspiration but now The Influence (Madison Rayne & Tenille Dashwood). However, as fate would have it, an old frenemy was back to get Rosemary's back. Taya Valkyrie. Valkyrie partnered with Rosemary for a title match at Slammiversary. That night, Rosemary became a two-time Impact Knockouts Tag Team Champion. In addition to aiding Rosemary in getting back the belts, Valkyrie joined Rosemary in her quest to find and bring back Havoc.
In the Undead Realm, Rosemary and Valkyrie found a different… Maybe unpossessed Havoc, going by the name Jessicka. Eventually, the trio took the name the Death Dollz, defending the belts under the Freebird Rule.—A rule allowing any two members of a larger team to defend the belts. Possibly made most famous by supergroup, the Spirit Squad, a quintet of male cheerleaders made up of five young men who at one time had dreams of being "serious" pro wrestlers but ultimately just got drenched in poo.
Between 2022 and 2023, the Death Dollz held the belts twice. Losing their titles first to VXT (Chelsea Green & Deonna Purrazzo) before getting them back 56 days later. The Coven (KiLynn King & Taylor Wilde) ended reign two for the Dollz. -- In the wake of this loss, Rosemary returned to the Undead Realm to retrieve her former partner, leaving her current partner, Jessicka, to wait. Rosemary wouldn't return.
At the Under Siege pre-show from London, not that one, the Ontario, Canada one, The Coven faced the Death Dollz in a non-title match. Jessicka's partner was a surprise return. Not Rosemary, but rather, for the first time in some seven years, Courtney Rush—Free of Rosemary's demonic possession. Rush and Jessicka carried on as the Death Dollz until the demise of Impact Wrestling at the end of 2023.
A brief history of TNA/Impact Wrestling. Founded by J, E, double F, J, A, double R, E, double T, and his father, Jerry Jarrett, in the long, long ago of 2002. That same year, Panda Energy International purchased a controlling share of the promotion, appointing Dixie Carter (the daughter of the company's owner) president. Smashing Pumpkin's frontman and full-grown man-baby, Billy Corgan, thought he bought the company. He didn't. In 2017, Anthem Sports & Entertainment acquired TNA Wrestling, rebranding the promotion as Impact Wrestling. Anthem rebranded again in 2024, reverting to TNA Wrestling. Rebranverting? (That's a word, right?—If you use your imagination.)
The Rebranverting didn't stop with the promotion's name. The Death Dollz also got an all-new-old look. Rosemary was back with Havoc by her side as Decay, returning to become TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Champions at the rebrandverted TNA relaunch event, Hard To Kill. And for the most part, that's the road so far. There's so much more to the Rosemary story. Years of television, interwinding character arks, and continuity rarely seen in the weird, wacky, and wild world of wrestling make it something special and worth the time.
Holly Letkeman and everything she's created within TNA/Impact/TNA (Again) has continuously been a diamond in the rough. Horror or humor, she delivers. Rosemary and her host vessel, Courtney Rush, deserve to be known. Their story to be heard. You could say it's a shame Rosemary has had to spend so much time trapped in the endless purgatory of TNA/Impact.—On the other hand, WWE never would've leaned into the spooky absurdity of Rosemary's world. More people would've seen her and her story. But it wouldn't have been as good. It wouldn't have been nearly as good. No, Rosemary is right where she should be. And it's on us to find her. To join The Hive.

Some OC stuff I drew about a week ago - Lizzie & Norma's divorced parents! Plus some extra doodles. I had been meaning to do more but then I lost motivation and couldn't find it again.
Almost all of my headcanons about their parents were spawned both from Norma's "if my parents hear about this!" line during the Lady Luctopus boss fight, and Lizzie responding to the baby-obsessed rich couple with "or you could just have a happy life together?", and then I worked backwards from there. :V
If the text is a bit hard to read:
Socorro Nova Natividad
Lizzie & Norma's mom
Psychic
Artist
Hails from Zaragoza, Spain
Experiences mood-swings and poor impulse control
Wanted to be a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, 'but then adulthood happened'.
Lizzie's favourite parent
Norma has complicated feelings about her
Harding Difficulty
Lizzie & Norma's dad
Judge (literally)
Hails from Upper Michigan
Has complicated feelings towards psychics (the legal profession isn't very kind to them)
Puts on a mask of aloofness but it secretly menaced by constant anxieties about money, his career, his daughters, etc. (Norma got her 'see problems to be solved everywhere' mindset from him)
Lizzie thinks he hates her
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#psychonauts OCs#OC family members#lizzie natividad#norma natividad#lizzie & norma's parents#I like height differences in couples too much#also I realize Harding is kinda similar to Newton Boole my other intern dad OC#the difference with him is that he's very entrenched in psychic affairs while Harding is more of an outsider#and thus they have very different attitudes towards baseline psychics#Harding is dealing with 'normal' psychics; Newton is dealing with the Boole family brand of psychics#also Newton is still married :V

sniping bots, don’t feel insects innocuous as leaves’ movement in sunset, sustaining rain with every overcast,
dying in snow to bloom again somehow like a balayage trample driving down the cold, driving in squares with[out] you while we hit our black jazz, thunder, with a plastic tip,
paper filter, or thinning lines between our manes ever fuller, patchy pirating my every whim, every ounce of self control hijacked like it
never was, like no prior relationship existed before titles meant a word, meant a severance, a sore thumb, long nail expunged
like i’ll take anything if it’s from you, with love, when you know it, just for a moment, and thoughtfully
thoughtless in happiness trickles doubt of yours, thanking us twelve hours prior, for being adults,
limboed low like a game gone foul, stuffed mid dunk, blue jordans you could sell for a rack, ice melt or
bust treasure for a look, a drive to the airport off twenty milligrams of michigan’s finest, wind blowing air colder than indecision down my spine
the way you stroked it, held me tighter before being late for work, all i could do was admire you before your last job
in shoplifted banana republic, wondering what made you excited, smiles, theatrics,
bellinis you bought, royal crown, wasn’t that, but the concept,
wasn’t slashed but residual moreso neurotic, uncalled for,
psychic handshake, curly hair, darling eyes always so comfortable when i showed you opera,
adjusted pennies off and had your madison back without question, always will

-- WRITEBLR (RE)INTRODUCTION;
-- ABOUT ME;
kael knoxton martin | 22 | he/they/xe | 📍 mid-michigan
i'm a transgender disabled writer (who... needs to start using writeblr again). i've been writing since i was four or five years old, and writing has always been my main outlet for Experiences and Emotions and All Of The Side Effects Of Being Alive. in short, i cannot stop writing or i will die. hence why i should use my actual writing blog more!
my writing comes in a variety pack of fuckery but my greatest loves are poetry, science fiction, and creative nonfiction. i'm deeply passionate about disability & mental illness representation, alien cultures, platonic soulmates, monstrousness and the perception of it, nightmares, and pretty much anything "weird".
(you can see my published pieces, my self-published collection of poetry, and my substack newsletter here!)
-- MY WIPS;
i have two main WIPs right now...
the reposing force of the great lakes
a story i've been planning for about two years now. in a universe where superheroes are widely known to the public and treated like celebrities, the great lakes region of the united states has its own reposing force -- a collective of carefully chosen superheroes who make it their mission to help and protect everyone around them.
three characters - ivy white, kingsley henneth, and rowan james - apply for a job within the reposing force each for a different reason, and all get rejected for the same reason. their powers are "useless" and would be "an embarrassment" to the organization.
a week later, however, the entire reposing force (except for one member!) gets kidnapped by a powerful, revenge-driven supervillain and exiled to a nightmarish dimension. now they're forced into saving the heroes that rejected them and fighting the threats that pile up in the wake of their absence, trying to navigate a destiny they never ever wanted.
fate harvested (working title)
set in an unknown part of space in an unknown future, the harvestman is the most feared vessel in all of known reality. piloted by a group of criminals, each with their own specialties and unique abilities, the crew of the harvestman will do almost any job if it pays well enough.
during an assignment to steal artifacts from a tourist planet, the crew of the harvestmen experience their first loss in several decades when their heist fails. the leader, former staezandan warrior skylas graver, believes that the person who hired them set them up to fail, and sets off to find them.
it doesn't take him very long.
the buyer ends up being marlenn zinn, the fourteen year old child of sol zinn, the immortal ruler and founder of a faraway but powerful planet known as kaltox iii. he was right, she did set them up to fail; the intent was actually to distract them so marlenn could stow away on their ship.
marlenn begs them for help; the entirety of kaltox iii is hunting her down, believing her to be a youth mentioned in the old kaltox prophecies. according to the legend, the psychic child will bring great loss to their world, and this can only be prevented by "harvesting" marlenn's psychic powers through a procedure that effectively kills her.
the crew must decide whether or not helping marlenn is a good use of their time while also navigating their own traumas that developed in childhood, and eventually they soften as marlenn's own trauma hardens her even more. Found Family, tm.

Well, this is an artwork you guys have already seen, but I decided to use this as an opportunity to update her biography since a lot of people have been asking me about her age and powers and such. You can view the full description of her powers from my DeviantArt post about her!
𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Amanda Bright
𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐬: Lady Ace
𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: EXA 105-2(1)
𝐀𝐠𝐞: 23
𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡: 23rd June
𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: American
𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Royal Woods, Michigan
𝐎𝐜𝐜𝐮𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Freelance photographer for the Royal Woods Gazette
𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: As an Alphahuman, Lady Ace has a number of noteworthy powers and abilities, some of which are active when she is in her civilian form, and others only when she becomes Lady Ace.
Enhanced Strength and Speed
Flight
Enhanced Durability and Recovery
Psychic Sense
Machine Control and Sentience
Energy Weapons and Shields
Nanostorm Burst
𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: While Amanda Bright is normally quiet and composed, as Lady Ace she is much more loud and outgoing. She relishes in the fame and attention being a superhero in an otherwise normal and uneventful city brings her. When dealing with criminals, she prefers to defeat them in a spectacular way, especially when she knows there are people watching. In battle she often spouts one-liners and catchphrases as a means to distract her foes, to clam those in distress, and rally support from onlookers. However should a threat beyond her control arise, she takes on a more serious stance towards it.
𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐡𝐲: The daughter of and Steve Bright and Miriam Chua, Amanda Bright grew up in Ironwright, Maryland before moving to Royal Woods, Michigan at the age of 19. Life would be relatively uneventful for the young woman until the night of her 23rd birthday when the alien artifact known as the Lightbearer crashed landed in Tall Timbers Park.
UNITE was the first on the scene and had plans to bring the Lightbearer back to headquarters for a suitable candidate of choice to inherit its powers. However the young photographer, who was also investigating the impact site under the assumption that it was a meteor, managed to bypass security and come in contact with the alien artifact.
The Lightbearer saw Amanda as a worthy candidate and bestowed its powers onto her. Over the course of a few days, Amanda would not only unlock her nanomachine imbued suit but also the full extent of her powers. She would eventually cement herself as the superheroine, Lady Ace.

FLP CHAPBOOK OF THE DAY: Everything is a Big Deal for an Ocean by Susan Bruce
On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/everything-is-a-big-deal-for-an-ocean-by-susan-bruce/
In turbulent 2020, a year of isolation, the author stands on the shoreline of the #Atlantic Ocean in Montauk, LI and determines each of the waves to be unique, and selves of herself. Everything Is a Big Deal for an Ocean is the imagined poetic exchange between a vast #ocean and a tender writer, as they contend with intrinsic restlessness and connectedness. #poetry #poems #chapbook
Susan Bruce received an MA from NYU Tisch School of the Arts and a BA from the University of Michigan. She lives with her husband and their two sons in Brooklyn, where she grew up and in Montauk, NY where she surfs.
PRAISE FOR Everything is a Big Deal for an Ocean by Susan Bruce
Susan Bruce has written a contemporary voice for the voice of waves: humorous, besieged, beseeching. One wave is known as “the comedian of icy coldness”; one lets off steam “and ejaculates more waves”; another aspires “to be a skyscraper”; Everything Is a Big Deal for an Ocean is an elliptical dadaist re-invention of the life and times of waves, here perceived as individual entities with fears, wit, and desires of their own. Bruce has given waves both individual and multiple consciousness, inviting us to reconsider our love and fear of this force of nature. I couldn’t help but think of JMW Turner’s magisterial paintings: what if those waves could talk! Here we overhear the absolutely unpredictable, wholly original conversation between a writer in the sands and the insouciant waves.
–Catherine Barnett, author of Human Hours
Everything is a big deal, especially when you are an ocean full of waves. Bruce’s collection of poems in Everything is a Big Deal for an Ocean inhabits the spirit of being a wave, and a person and a waveperson. The poet is wave, and the wave is a poet who crashes and softens in the spirit of As a wave artist I sprinkle cells of splash. These poems are the power of splash, the sweetness of splash, the inside of a wave and the outside of a wave, a singular vision of the sea in all of its humanity. Everything is a huge deal, a monumental occasion that Bruce has written about through the lens of a wave that is never ending, the embattled and beautiful energy of everyday existence.
–Matthew Lippman, author of We Are All Sleeping with Our Sneakers On
What a surprising, witty, sensual, playful and compelling sequence of poems Susan Bruce has made. What a mind this ocean is—fluid, hypnotic—with its deeply improvisatory logic, its incessant questions, confessions, repetitions; its waves of thought and sinking feelings, its blues and cluttered ribcage. With a light touch and rhythmic beauty, a Yes, and process of investigation, Bruce explores our contradictions and compulsions, our fears and psychic undertows, in a moving lyric meditation on order and disorder.
–Donna Masini, author of 4:30 Movie
Everything Is a Big Deal for An Ocean is like standing on the shore, eavesdropping on an incredibly personal conversation between the narrator and the ocean. We’re lulled, then tossed by the sway of the waves, feel the grit of the sand between our toes, and hear the “growl and burst” resonating our ears. Who is speaking and whether the questions posed will ever be answered mirror the fluid, enigmatic nature of the water itself. In this dialogue, Bruce illuminates both the vast expanse of the ocean as well as the depths of our own internal worlds.
–Heather Aimee O’Neill, author of Memory Future and Obliterations
In Everything is a Big Deal for an Ocean, Susan Bruce connects the world of the writer, and the role of the writer, to that of the natural world. “We could be blissful together.” “I’m left to sing when the sun rises and sing when the sun sets.” That’s the call of the artist, isn’t it? To sing! The beauty of poetry is how we use it to be resilient. These poems make us think and help us to carry on, naturally, as a wave.
–Leah Umansky, author of Of Tyrant (2024)

Little Jane Doe/ St. Louis Jane Doe
November 15, 2022
On February 28, 1983, two individuals entered an abandoned 24 unit red brick building located at 5635 Clemens Avenue in St. Louis, Missouri. The two individuals found a headless body of an African-American child in the basement of the building.
The two individuals noticed the child’s body after lighting a cigarette. The child was found naked except for a yellow sweater, and had been laying on her stomach. Her hands had been bound behind her back with red and white nylon rope.
The victim was originally thought to have been working in sex work, but the police discovered when moving the body that she did not have developed breasts, which meant she had not gone through puberty yet.
It was soon discovered that the victim was not killed in the red brick building, as there was no blood traces found by or around the body. Authorities believed that the blood had been drained elsewhere. The Jane Doe’s stomach was also empty at the time of her death, and mold tests were conducted on her body, determining that she died within 5 days of her being discovered.
Jane Doe’s head had been severed cleanly off by a large blade, possibly a carving knife. It was estimated that she had been between the ages of 8 and 11 years old when she died. She had also been raped.
She wore a yellow, long sleeved V-neck sweater and had two coats of nail polish on her fingers, a red shade. Her head has never been found, but authorities were able to collect fingerprints, footprints and DNA from the body successfully.
Little Jane Doe had no distinct marks or deformities on her body, she was between 4′10 to 5′6 tall when alive. On December 2, 1983, Little Jane Doe was buried at Washington Park Cemetery, 10 months after her discovery.
The yellow sweater Jane Doe had been found wearing was sent to a psychic in Florida who wanted to touch it to see if she could determine anything about the case or child. However, the sweater was never returned and was assumed to be lost in the mail.
There have been 4 different girls who have been ruled out as being Little Jane Doe, as well as Northampton County Jane Doe from North Carolina.
Little Jane Doe was suggested as being a victim of Vernon Brown, who had murdered a young girl in a similar way. However, he was executed in 2005 and never confessed to murdering this Jane Doe.
Little Jane Doe’s body was exhumed by authorities in 2013 in order to get more forensic information. The remains however had been misplaced, along with other bodies in the Washington Park Cemetery, due to negligent cemetery records and her body was not found until mid June of that year.
Isotope tests were done to determine where Jane Doe likely lived. It was determined that Little Jane Doe likely lived her entire life in one of these southeastern states: Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Tennessee or North/South Carolina.
The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children listed more mid-western and midatlantic states that Jane Doe could possibly have been from such as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana or West Virginia.
After the exhumation took place, Jane Doe was re-interred at Calvary Cemetery in the Garden of Innocents, a section specifically created for unidentified individuals.
There was a documentary released about the case in September 2022, titled “Our Precious Hope Revisited: St. Louis’ Little Jane Doe.” In the documentary it determined that the two individuals who found Little Jane Doe in 1983 were only teenagers, and that the police actually did receive something back in the mail from the psychic (research didn’t specify whether it was the yellow sweater or not).
The director of the documentary also may have found the brand of sweater that Little Jane Doe could have been wearing. The autopsy report and mold reports conclude that she had been beaten, raped and then strangled before she had been decapitated.
There is still a huge possibility that St. Louis Little Jane Doe can be identified even without finding the head, as police successfully have DNA collected.
