tsk tsk, younger siblings😒
vaguely inspired by this fic.
(i've been getting into DC stuff/the batfam a lot recently. more sketches/doodles under the cut. can y'all guess my favorite robin....)
bat opens up their little bat wallet to find they are all out of moths. A worthless $100 bill flies out for emphasis
being a writer is constantly google the definitions of words you already know the meanings of because your brain's always paranoid and telling you maybe you've been using them wrong your entire life
I can excuse misusing words in my daily life but my mlm slow-burn enemies to lovers smut has to be perfect

Use the website versions of apps like instagram on incognito using VPN. It sucks, and sometimes there are restrictions, but it’ll never be detected. If your parents are/have access to the internet service providers, they can see your history whether you’re on incognito or not, which is why I use VPN.
Public Libraries. Make use of them. They usually have free internet and you can pretend you have school stuff.
I dropped small hints about my situation to get sympathy points. It’s underhanded and makes you feel like shit but it makes people want to help and could potentially get you food or places to stay. I got kicked out of my house for a few days and I would have starved if not for the rapport I built with a small restaurant owner and the library workers.
Always keep your phone fully charged and on silent.
Thrift stores have a whole lot of really cheap stuff, especially clothes, which really helps save money.
hey so protip if you have abusive parents and need to get around the house as quietly as possible, stay close to furniture and other heavy stuff because the floor is settled there and it’s less likely to creak
Is there anything worse than wanting to reread a fic except you’re not sure you bookmarked it, but that’s okay because you know the tags right? Wrong. I’ve been trying to find this specific fic for like 5 hours now, and it’s 3AM and I still haven’t found it. I’d think I dreamed it up, but I couldn’t dream up that good of a fic. Maybe it’s been deleted. I’m going to cry.
how must the Dick -> Jason Robin switch have looked to the Gotham Rogues. it's not as if they did a formal 'attention, Robin has quit his job and will now be operating as Nightwing' announcement. like after a certain point it must have become like a Known Thing that periodically Batman gets new sidekicks. but that first changeover must have messed w people's heads right??
like. you are a B-list Gotham Rogue. You haven't seen Robin in months. You've asked around and no-one else in the circles you move in has seen him either. You're starting to get worried but you aren't sure if you have the kind of relationship with the Batman where it would be appropriate to ask after his sidekick's wellbeing. Every time he shows up Robin-less you get progressively more stressed out.
wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
