Blood Blossom Au: Baby's First Commissioner Meeting :)
TL:DR This Post: Danny (orphan) gets poisoned with blood blossom extract by Vlad. He runs away from him and ends up under the care of one Pre-Robin Battinson Batman! Starry is loudly pushing her batdad agenda.
(Also known as "Late At Night, When The Nightingale Sings" on my ao3!)
This was a fun rough idea I've been sitting on for weeks, thinking about how Commissioner Gordon and Nightingale's first meeting might go.
---------------
Commissioner Gordon likes to think that he's adjusting to the new normal of Gotham very well, -- the new normal being grown men running around dressed like bats, in military-grade strength body armor, committing acts of vigilantism, -- and slowly, little by little, he was no longer being surprised when this new normal pops up out of the shadows like the world's most terrifying daisy. His shaving lifespan thanks him for it.
....
The kid is a surprise though.
Granted, he seemed to be a surprise to the Bat too.
There's been a string of murders lately, -- which, in Gotham, is kind of like saying there's been another storm during monsoon season. And there's just been another; in some dilapidated building down in south Gotham, with the broken, boarded-up windows and mildew-crawling walls to match. The victim is a man in his thirties, multiple gunshot wounds to the chest, left in the center of the room for the blood to pool out around him.
The place is already secured when he arrives, the building swarmed with officers and the forensic detectives. The Bat emerges shortly after he does -- or, he might've been here the whole time, hiding someplace dark and shadowy. For his own sanity, Gordon doesn't think about it too hard.
The kid is a surprise, and he appears like a bolt of lightning.
He shows up in the middle of a conversation Gordon is having with the Bat.
A whistle, sharp and loud, slicing through the air, meant for open air rather than a confined space. Gordon's ears pierce and protest the sound, and the solemn, murmured chatter floating through the room abruptly cuts off like the swing of a gavel. As he turns towards the sound -- as they all do -- he swears, up and down, that he sees Batman's shoulders jump, just slightly.
At the source, perched on the window, is a boy. A boy in a gray-blue scarf and an oversized black hoodie, one that hangs off his frame and has ace bandages wrapped around the wrists in some attempt to cinch the sleeves. The hood is up, big like the rest of it, and threatens to swallow the upper half of the boy's face whole in the fabric. What upper half Gordon can see, is smeared with some kind of opaque, black face paint. He's holding onto the side of the frame with one hand, on his hip is a grappling hook. A familiar grappling hook.
Gordon has multiple questions, and his officers tense up.
Martinez puffs up, brows furrowing as his face shapes into a frown. Shoulders rolling back. "You can't be here, kid--"
The reaction is immediate, like a spark to gunpowder, the boy yanks his fingers from his mouth and his mouth twists into a scowl. Head snapping over to Officer Martinez, his hood manages to stay on but Gordon swears that as he bares his teeth, the glint makes them look sharper than they should be. His voice is rasp and quiet and harsh; snappish in its hissing; "Put a fuckin sock in it, Martinez. I'm not stayin."
Martinez reels back, and the boy immediately veers his attention off him. Like a switch, his demeanor drops. Despite half his face being covered, his mouth twists into a cringing, apologetic smile. Slanted and off-beat, embarrassed. It'd be disarming if this wasn't Gotham, and if he didn't just hiss at Martinez like he was about to bite his head off.
"Sorry." He whispers, voice deceptively polite and softer now. Gordon has to strain his ears to hear him. "I was looking for him."
He points his finger towards-- Gordon? No, Gordon follows the direction, and finds himself looking at -- the Bat.
The Bat, who always looks stiff as a pole, now looks even stiffer. Somehow. Well, the explains the grappling hook attached to the boy's waist.
"What are you doing here?" The Bat says, gruff and unable to completely smother the stumble of surprise in his tone.
The boy still holds a sheepish smile, and slips off the window ledge. His feet hit the creaky boards with a near-silent thud, the Batman finds his feet and rapidly begins crossing the room.
Gordon notes the slight tremble in the boy's legs as he straightens. He adjusts his scarf, which droops close to his knees now that he's standing, and slings a backpack -- how long has had that? -- off his shoulders. When the Bat reaches his side, he does as he always does, and looms over the boy like a spectre. A threatening mass of shadows cloaked in all-consuming black. Standing next to him, the boy looks teeny in comparison.
The Bat is a man who terrifies even the most hardened criminals, Gordon has seen grown men shiver in fear at the mention of his name. And yet when the boy looks up at him, he doesn't even flinch.
Instead, his sheepish smile melts away like ice under the sun, holding only traces of his previous embarrassment. It remains as a shadow on his face, a small upturn at the corners of his mouth. The boy pushes his hood back just enough to reveal glinting, ice-flint eyes surrounded in tar-black face paint. He holds the backpack up with one arm. "You forgot this."

How to Have ADHD
1) Be walking around
2) Think or say “Oh, when I sit down at the computer, I should [do thing that involves being on a computer/look up thing I’m curious about/send message that I need to send]!”
3) sit down at computer
4) Absolutely do not do thing in Step 2. Forget that you EVER had a thought resembling Step 2. Do many other things instead on the computer.
5) Stand up and walk away from computer
6) Go to Step 2.
#ADHD#actually adhd#This is my whole god damn day#all the time#I have written so many messages that I've never sent#I have thought of so many very answerable questions that I have never answered#I have remembered so many bills to be paid before their due date that have never been paid#This also applies in the reverse#I will very frequently remember something that involves NOT being at my desk#while seated at my desk#that never ever happens because I completely forgot the thing I needed to do#powered completely by the act of standing#I have hungered for so many meals I've never made or eaten

i madeeeeeee candied walnuts (okay) and chocolate pudding (divine) this weekend and i also bought frozen berries to fuck around w and ive discovered its the best thing ever in the chocolate pudding? i think im a genius?
#1. frozen fruit bc ive basically become anti fresh produce due to the personal (too many dollar bills on my floor to keep up w a fridge)#and the 2k25 state of produce (gestures). so i wasnt eating fruit really.#2. been making so many recipes that need egg whites or yolks only and too fussy about needing them to be even so i dont waste any.#the walnuts needed one (1) egg white and the pudding two (2) yolks so i froze the remaining white which#delightfully fit perfectly in a deep ice cube tray. so now i have Cube Of Egg floating around my freezer. yay. beautiful little object

It’s actually astounding how many people don’t understand that unless you are a massive HUGE A-List Celebrity (or like…a nepo baby), you don’t make that much money as an actor. It’s why so many working actors do brand deals and sponsorships/collaborations. Lesser known actors may have side gigs in the service industry or with content creation outside of acting.
Plus, a lot of actors are ALSO writers.
The higher ups also don’t seem to understand this. They’ve implied that the picketers are only hurting themselves by going on strike, as they won’t be able to survive without their jobs that don’t even pay a livable wage. They’re basically giving people the LA/NYC equivalent of $30K a year and saying “Why are you asking for more? Isn’t that already enough? You’re greedy and you should be ashamed.”
This doesn’t even factor in marginalized actors who already get paid significantly less than their more privileged peers. There have been so many stories of HIGHLY RESPECTED Black and Brown actors getting underpaid/underbooked after major award wins.
And let’s not even get into disabled actors and queer actors of color. Omg.
#wga strike#sag strike#like sure you might make a couple hundred thousand to a couple million for a movie but#so many actors have pointed out that you have to use that money to pay bills and pay your staff and pay for your dues and pay for your rep#unless you’re constantly booking (which doesn’t always happen) you’re heavily reliant on side gifs#*gigs

Sorry to interrupt but. This paragraph from the child rearing manual. Reminded me A LOT of your newest comic
An undoubted source of untruthfulness is to be found in the habit of imposing secrecy on young children. Some persons are constantly cautioning little folks against speaking of what they have seen and heard.
I mean if you teach a kid to lie he's gonna start lying about everything!
But if you force a kid to lie because they or their sibling is not safe if they tell you things...well that's still on you buddy.
#i have so many thoughts on Bill and Liam's parents holy shit#like they weren't horrible but they kind of were??#and it was mostly due to societal pressure#something something parallels to how canon bill's parents made him go blind cause they loved him and were scared#flat dreams#asks

you know someday i'm gonna feel so good when i have my student loans paid off
that ain't gonna be soon, trust me, but i think about it
#i've been saving so much for it that i paid off over like $2k in the last 2 or 3 months#it's just thinking about how the amount of interest goes off that drives me literally crazy#and my monthly amount i owe is like just under $120#which to some people as a regular bill is more manageable than others. but as i have an irregular income#as a substitute teacher it's something that gives me a LOT of stress.#which is another reason i've been overpaying. in case something happens/i can't get a lot of work#it defers the next due date.#that way it's not urgent but yet i still *feel* it all the time#debt is a crazy kind of thing#and to think that my loans are from COMMUNITY college. two years. publicly owned#when i start taking classes again soon. i currently have enough saved that if i take like ONE class#i can pay out of pocket. and i think im only gonna take one class to start anyway#which will also help with the deferred payments#see i just fucking hate having to think practically about money like this#tales from diana#idk how ppl leave high school and go straight to live in a dorm room at a private university for four straight years#and rack up tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt.#first of all that lifestyle was not accessible for me to begin with. even when paying it was such an abstract put-it-off thought#as it is for so many 18-year-olds who are told not to worry about where they apply.#but i had under $12k to repay when the student loan debt was unfrozen last fall#and it's been weighing on me soooo heavily since then. i think about it every damn day#it's like the money i make isn't even mine. it goes straight to mohela and food#keep in mind i also live w my parents & am on their health insurance so someday there'll be moooore bills!!!!

I have brought the two halves of Spacehead back together. I now await my significant other to join me with glitter glue.
#I thought glitter glue would be fitting. Glitter is just tangible interactive stars after all is it not?#For now though I sit in the void and wait.#This is fine. I spend most of my time in the void anyway.#The broken half of the House froze over but everyone in it should be fine. Freeze overs aren't uncommon here.#We will have to step it up a bit though. I only wish we could do so more often but alas. We two take up too many spoons to front normally.#Yes the idea IS to literally glue the house back together. Don't worry Dark if you ever read this‚ it'll fade with time.#pk;m Mischief⚘#I do not expect this to hold for the record. What we're doing is forcing and speeding up recovery.#Whatever happened is a result of stress and it'll truly fix itself when the stress dies down.#While I'm here I'll try to remove the starmates from the broken half of the House into the other half and see if they defrost.#If so‚ good! If not‚ I tried. they'll defrost in due time.#... I can also possibly fix Bill's injuries with glitter glue too I think that'd look cute. Like a hell.o K.itty bandaid but not.#Anyways. tl;dr: forcing things right now and it won't hold but once life Stops being horrid things will fix itself.#I just need to gather everyone in one spot for the time being.#Anyways! With that said I shall put the body to sleep and update in the morning. Goodnight!

oh yeah not sure where we're at w money btw. we might be able to get some of it back but we wont know anything concrete until friday
#the fey speaks#which is why i haven't been reblogging the d0n0 post#like. i got $115 total and we Do need to buy groceries before friday and also some of it has already been spent on gas for getting to work#so what i'm saying is the support i got so far has already be immensely helpful#i am just not sure how much more help i will need or by when. or anything. until friday.#and i'd hate to keep askin only to end up not needing it ig. that said if anyone still wants to send me a few bucks while understanding tha#i won't say no. there are many things i need money for in this world rn. like a new belt. been thinking abt a cane. but idk how much it#would help so i haven't been able to justify the cost to myself#but like. there's probably better things you could be doing with your money rn.#also its been really hard for me to get info bc no one (my parents. whose bank acct it was.) wants to fucking talk about it#like. i live here too idk i think i should be allowed to know like what days bills are due and exactly how much they cost!#bc originally i was told (by my mom) that Literally All of our bills were due this past monday. and we would have#no power water or gas. but we still do. somehow. so idfk#and she won't talk to me abt it if i ask she just Stops Responding or walks away#and if i try to ask dad he just responds “i don't know” or starts crying. or like self loathing spiral#so basically. even if we get 100% of the original money back#its ALSO possible we will have a shit tone of late fees and overdraft fees to pay. no clue : )
