All under the sun

"Less quipping more lock picking Jay."

Three minutes maximum before the patrol would come around the corner, and things would get a lot more complicated fast. Real fast. John might suffer motor mouth disease but he was also really good at getting into places he didn't belong, since he was so adamant on becoming her shadow he might as well make himself useful. Only during recon missions, only when she deemed it safe enough and only with the promise he'd follow any command she gave on the field.

"Nice. Well done-" the lock was opened and they could enter the dockside warehouse. "You're looking for something that looks like a ruby the size of my fist. Don't touch it...I kinda don't think you should touch it." She'd hold her light torch in her mouth while perusing files in the office leaving John to do most of the footwork of going through boxes and boxes ready for shipping.

As long as they kept quiet no one would come as security was under paid agency staff and technically told to guard the perimeter not the inside of the warehouse thus as long as nothing drew their attention...no reason to go peaking inside at 1.37 am in the morning.

"Crimson crystal cult doesn't sound like your down town metal band" Well it might be but this was Gotham, did she know it was a crystal allowing them to communicate with Trigon? No.

But, girls had gone missing and this...was as close a lead as she had. If this was important to whom ever was abducting them with cult in their name it was a tool Canary would make sure they lacked by morning.

A dog was barking from the scrap yard nearby.

"20 minutes and if we got nothing we make like shepherds and get the flock out of here" No clue in the shipping manifests so she'd join him prying boxes open.

we write the scripts, craft the roles and put on the performances with our own characters.

Who's to say if their tales end up a Tragedy or a Comedy?

discord servers replacing forums and similar niche communities primarily sucks for being a black hole of information but a close second is that it discourages lurking. maybe i want to anonymously observe a community to see what people are like and if i would fit in before i start interacting! maybe i don't want to immediately jump in to a spammed chorus of animated greeting stickers on an account tied to several other elements of my online identity! let me lurk!!!

Think it over carefully. Your partner is important.

Those "modern fairy tales where the princess saves herself" types of books not only misrepresent the gender roles in fairy tales (there are tons of stories where girls get to save the day), but they fundamentally misunderstand the entire genre.

Fairy tales aren't about saving yourself.

These aren't epic myths or heroic legends about the great warriors who slay every monster in their path because they're so awesome. Fairy tales are almost always about ordinary, even incompetent, people who get thrown into strange situations where they only succeed because of the help of others.

It's not a gendered thing. The boy who goes off to seek his fortune is usually the dim-witted third son whose older brothers are the strong, smart ones. The third son succeeds because he is kind to the magical helpers who then complete the tasks for him--and the exact same thing happens when a girl is the main character.

The characters in a fairy tale rarely succeed because they embrace their own strength and take their own path. Much more often, they are told step-by-step what to do, and they succeed because they obey--respecting the wisdom of others.

The core virtue of a fairy tale is not pride, but humility. It's not a story about the strong, but those who are weak, small, helpless. The people who can't do it all on their own, but can recognize the worth and wisdom of others.

Turning this story into a "girl power" (or even a "boy power") story warps it into something that is fundamentally the opposite of a fairy tale, and it has nothing to do with the gender of the main character.
