I don’t know for a fact that Holly Shirt was inspired by Pam Grier but I’m pretty damn sure she was.

[amarrymeinbostonwriter]

Okay, so I drew a new picture for Tilly and Hess. Even though today’s writing didn’t have Matilda or Hester in it, I drew this. 

Day 17 Word Count: 2,728 Words 

November 2022 Word Count so far: 56,408 Words 

Excerpt (Dave is telling Matilda a story in this part):

And something set me in a rage; the city girls were relieved that Gerry took the challenge. Because now none of them had to do a thing, even though Fiona wasn’t one of Gerry’s girls. Gerry hadn’t had a girl in some time. I know because she’s my best friend at the Huntresses.

We danced together once and I told her she might want to go easy on the hard liquor. She was stuck on too many girls who faded off into the world- some married off, some died, others vanished to places unknowable. I let her stay in my flat and nursed her hang over; more nights than I want to mention. I didn’t want her passing out in the street for someone else to find. They kill people for no reason all the time now. Feral beasts in men’s clothing prowl the city streets at night for the Hell of it. Gerry was an alcoholic by that late stage of her life. Her husband, Lord Starling, was this fat little molly who seemed to forget about the wife who had carefully protected his reputation before she started to fall.

“One good girl, Davey, why is that too much to ask? Am I too old now? I don’t want to pay a girl to spend time with me though Lord knows I’m rife with money. I want her to actually love me. Why did I have to spend my whole life playing the club like it was the musical chairs hall of girlfriends? They never stayed for long. I always wanted what you and Carol had. You both looked so happy. Please tell me you were happy.”

“Gerry, I feel a little less myself every day I know that Carol’s gone. Yes, I was as happy as any man could ever hope to be in this world or the next. I miss her with all my heart; a part of my soul is gone to be with her.”

“God, Davey, I’m a right bastard making you think of her, aren’t I?”

“No, I’m usually thinking of her any way. It doesn’t hurt as much as it used to.”

Every day I tell myself to focus on one AU at a time and then I go and make another AU because ADHD be like that sometimes.

Anyways, here is a silly little space AU I'm calling Project Artemis for now. The whole gist of it is that Tails, Amy and Sonic are off to find the chaos emeralds that have mysetriously blasted themselves into space. Along the way they meet a pair of aliens called starlings in the form of Silver and Blaze who seem to exhibit a weak signal similar to the chaos emeralds. Shadow, instead of being part black arms, is part starling in this AU and is roped into this whole mess by way of wanting to figure out what exactly he is.

This AU is kinda prime for ships too but I'm not sure how much I want to focus on that aspect.

Sure the DCU is a big universe, but Jason doesn’t have his own original character in the same way dickDoes. So when you give Jason characters that are associated with dick, it’s given hand me down because Jason doesn’t have any team of his own. It’ll be like y’all going? Wally can be best friends with Dick and Jason and Kori canDate Jason and Dick. Even Jason’s small time in the titans was due to dick and it was so brief that you literally hav to use headcanon she wuss there’s nothing in canon to work off it. In the end jasons isn’t an established enough character for you to claim the DC is a big universe when Jason has nothing on his own in that big universe

Jason does have things of his own- it's not his fault that writers keep forgetting. He has his relationships with Bizarro, Artemis, and Rose Wilson to name a few, and those are a delight to come across (usually). He has separate relationships with people who were Dick's friend first, and I think that's reasonable and realistic enough.

Jason being in Dick's shadow much of the time is an interesting aspect of his character to me, and not uncommon in younger siblings, especially when he works so hard to break out of it.

Of course, the sad fact is that Jason was initially conceptualized to literally be a replacement Dick. Post-crisis, he at least got his own backstory, and I do love him stealing those tires. I also love the connection he has to the streets of Gotham.

Unfortunately Jim Starling was not a fan of the character, which is how we got to his untimely demise at the hands of the Joker after only 5 years- 2, if you take into account the post-crisis reboot.

Tim came in to a more favorable environment, and got to be Robin without interruption for 20 years before Damian came along, and was the first Robin to have a solo series. So he got to expand his cast of friends nearly as much as Dick did.

Wanting Jason to have more of his own niche is part of why I like the more mystical stuff they did with him in N52. It's my hope that someone will be able to commit to a direction to take the character in, rather than having the constant back and forth of "Jason does shady shit with Bruce's permission cuz Bruce trusts him, except suddenly Bruce doesn't (usually with no explanation) and now Jason's shady shit is no longer Bat Approved and therefore bad"

This is also another reason that I want them to revisit the Generation Outlaws cuz that was fun.

The lowest-placing entrant in each Round 0 poll will be eliminated, as will the second-lowest-placing entrant with the overall lowest percentage.

Reasons each character is the best are under the cut!

Alistair Oh: "He's a parental figure to the Starlings and also to Dan and Amy, and he's a cane-wielding badass."

Bandit Heeler: "Loves his daughters, positive and optimistic influence, engages in imaginative play"

Barbara Lake: "Single Mom, Loves her kid more than anything, is a doctor, and just an all around badass"

Blinky: "He is the father Jim never had. From the very first episode he was a mentor that went above and beyond for his charge. As the episodes go on you can feel the love that forms between these two. Then there's those words for Jim at his lowest point."

Chiron: "He cares about the kids so much that he asked for eternal life on the condition that he'd only live until no more half-bloods needed training. This man is literally only alive because of his ability and want to help the kiddos, even though it means he has to mourn ALL of them when the dangers inevitably catch up and they die. He's constantly looking out for his kids, it's not his fault he's not omnipotent enough to bubble wrap and safety lock the entire planet."

Cinna: "Helped Katniss AND stuck his neck out to rebel with the messaging of his fashion. Icon literally gave her the Mockingjay symbolism and went full-on subversive rebel against the Capitol before he died."

Diabolus Darkdoom: "Loves his son. Has the best toys"

Domovoi Butler: "Deals with Artemis doing stupid criminal stuff with mythical beings even when he is going insane, takes a bullet for Artemis and doesn't die, good moral character, best bodyguard ever"

I had a wonderful time talking about human space flight to 3rd Graders at Starling Elementary today! The kids were very knowledgeable and had fantastic questions! I love the reaction I get when I tell my two “Gemini Astronauts” they have to sit next to each other and not shower for two weeks!

Below is a letter I received several years ago, and recently rediscovered in my drawers, dated 1711:

Ms. Starling,

I’ve come upon something most intriguing. Attached are photos relating to the mysterious events, and I hope that after reading, you could respond to me with advice. I’m rather at a loss.

I appear to have forgotten my manners. My apologies, here is an introduction if you’ve not heard of me. My name is Ms. Iryna Petrel, and I am currently in charge of a loop in Crete, Greece. We reside in a manor, which has since been destroyed through an arson, committed four days after I began the loop. As I and my wards have made a home here continually since November fourteenth, 1711, I’ve had many traveling peculiars stop here as not to age forward. Some famous, many simply looking for a place to stay and rest. It’s been almost two hundred years (In actuality, it has been one-hundred-and-ninety-nine years and three-hundred-and-thirty-five days since the loops beginning), and the most trouble I’ve encountered was a group of peculiar raiders. That is, until now.

Early yesterday morning, four peculiars entered my loop. They carried the body of another, very obviously deceased girl. The rest had sustained major injuries. At first, when I’d seen them enter our loop (The signal for entry is rather bright, and happens to be outside of my bedroom window), my thought was that they’d want me to save her. Even from two stories, it was clear that she’d suffered much damage to her stomach, nearly her entire body being drenched in blood. 

Their injuries were much worse in person than they appeared from the window. Upon running across the the manor to reach them, it was clear that they were in urgent need of medical assistance. I showed them to the west wing of the house, which is our teaching and medicine area. I then awoke three of my wards who excel in medicine, and the peculiars told me their story.

The three living were Georgia (appeared 23, true age 26), Xenia (appeared 11, true age 112), and Chrysanthos (appeared 17, true age unknown, assumed to be just under 190). The dead peculiar’s name was Artemis (appeared 9, true age 12). They had fled here from a loop in Cyprus, which had only been open for around three years. Xenia and Chrysanthos had been forced to flee from two previous loops, the second of which they were in together for over 70 years. Chrysanthos referred to Xenia as his younger sister, and was very concerned about her safety for the whole time they were in the medical wing. Georgia and Artemis were siblings from Cyprus who decided it was safer to reside in a loop than out in the open, risking Coerlfolc discovering and possibly killing them. By the time my wards had healed them appropriately, it was well into the morning, and I could hear a large collection of my wards waiting outside of the door to the medic room. I told them to come in, and the other fourty-two wards in my protection walked through the door. Since it could not do to to have them all in a singular room lacking much ventilation, I took my wards (as well as the three new arrivals), into the garden. Georgia required a chair to sit on, as whenever her bare skin touched plant life, it would grow up to ten times its original size. She apologized profusely for this, explaining that she couldn’t control it when she was stressed.

The three peculiars began to tell their story. I’d advise reading this outside of the company of any wards, as it is rather violent, and I would not like to be responsible for traumatizing anyone under your protection. I’ve written this part with help from Chrysanthos, so I missed no details.

They had lived in a loop in Cyprus for three years, led by Ms. Chukar. It was a small loop, occurring in a hotel basement just outside of Georgia’s village. Ms. Chukar was a young ymbryne, but a very powerful one nonetheless. On one night, she welcomed in a man who claimed to be an echolocator. He claimed to be named Jonathan, although, it could easily be a falsehood. His eyes were blank, so we all assumed it was true, and he was simply blind. He came with a gun, claiming that he needed to protect himself on his travels. He stayed for two days and became quite a favorite of the younger children, with a quiet and kind demeanor. That made it even more startling when he turned his gun at Ms. Chukar and fired on his second dinner in the loop. She fell out of her chair, assumed to be dead. There were sixteen peculiars (including Ms. Chukar) in the loop at that time. In my panic to leave, five other shots were fired. There is every reason to believe they were lethal, as only ten of us left from the only exit of the basement. They all attempted to leave the loop, scattering in many directions. The man walked casually towards the entrance to the loop, shooting two more wards in the process. None of them, outside of Chrysanthos and Artemis had peculiarities that would help with combat, so Artemis stayed behind to buy the rest of them time, while Chrysanthos protected the main group. She used her ability to create winds up to 150 km/hr to keep him pressed against a wall while we left the loop. On the other end, there was a sort of monster that waited for us. It was invisible for ten seconds, until it grabbed two wards with two long tongues, and ate them in one horrible bite. It looked like a rotting grey corpse, with loose skin folds, and oversized eyes. It moved using three monstrous tongues, and it had teeth that appeared over 25 cm long. It managed to eat almost all of the peculiars, only two (Georgia and Chrysanthos) making it back into the loop, even though we’d sustained injuries. We’d made it back through to see the man with white eyes slash Artemis’ stomach with a knife, him finally having overcome her miniature hurricane. 

The next paragraph is entirely written by Chrysanthos, as I (Ms. Petrel) know how difficult it is to put one’s own peculiarity through the words of someone else. 

After Artemis had fallen, held by her sister on the rock, I did something that I’d never known I was able to do. My abilities normally extended to simply telekinesis and in the past few years, I’d discovered that I was able to turn quantities of a certain matter into another - a piece of metal into the same amount of water - but only with intense concentration. I, in a state of panic, instinctively pushed the man to the ground. I held his arms above his head, and power rush through me. It’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I felt the blood rushing through his body. There was a small cut on the back of his hand from where I’d pushed him down, and that was enough. I turned all of the blood in his body into stone. His mouth was frozen in a pained scream, and his eyes wide in terror. I’d no idea I could do that. I fell off his body. I was picked up by Xenia, who was yelling at us that we needed to go. Apparently, another one of us (who’s name I will not disclose out of respect for the dead, but I was very close with him romantically) had gone through the loop entrance again, dying, and told Xenia what happened. Xenia had a fight with Artemis earlier that day, and was too angry to attend dinner, but ran downstairs after she’d heard gunfire, fearing the worst. Artemis was still alive, but barely. Georgia carried her to a boat that we had, and Xenia piloted us towards Cyprus. We made it here in under five minutes, thanks to Artemis. It was this effort that killed her. We all stepped off of the boat, in shock, and found the loop, thanks to Xenia’s ability to sense other peculiars and loops, amongst other things navigational.

I (Ms. Petrel), am writing again. I beg for your assistance in future endeavors and advice with how do deal with the new arrivals. Xenia says that she can sense two of them from the loop on Cyprus alive, and I am going to travel there. While I am gone, my loop will be maintained by Ms. Phoebe Spoonbill, an injured ymbryne currently under my care until she is able to find a group large enough to start a loop. If I am injured and unable to return, she will be in charge of my loop. I will report to you with any changes. 

Please advise,

Ms. Iryna Petrel

P.S. - Attatched are some images that Georgia brought with her.

I - The loop entry in Cyprus, with a normal light flash

II - The strange light occurance in the hallway when the man entered, very abnormal

III - A picture taken of the hotel where the loop was

IV - A closer look at the hotel room where the man was rumored to stay during the day. Dark prints on the side wall are most likely blood

V - An unknown room, from the hotel, picture found on the dead man

Three of Wands. Art by Abigail Starling, from the Moon Prism Tarot.

Broad Horizons

Full of optimism, the Three of Wands is about the need to broaden your horizons and maximize your abilities. Minako embodies the Three of Wands at the start of her journey as Sailor V. She learns about planetary powers, becomes a Sailor Senshi and takes risks as she embarks on this adventure with Artemis. The Three of Wands encourages just that, taking risks, being adventurous, and keeping your eye out for trouble along the way.

Upright: The Three of Wands implies that you are exploring new options and feel rewarded following the path you set out for yourself, even with the challenges you may see ahead. There is excitement and reward when you see things for what they are and learn about things outside of your own understanding.

Reversed: The Three of Wands reversed suggests that your path may be blocked or slowed due to a refusal to step outside of your comfort zone or unforeseen circumstances. Refusing to open your eyes to new information and opportunities does not allow you to move forward in an informed way.
