everything i do
i tell you all the time
heaven is a place on earth with you
tell me all the things you wanna do
i heard that you like the bad girls
honey, is that true?
it's better than i ever even knew
they say that the world was built for two
only worth living if somebody is loving you
and, baby, now you do
[...]
he holds me in his big arms
drunk and i am seeing stars
this is all i think of
watchin' all our friends fall
in and out of old paul's
this is my idea of fun
playin' video games
ᴄᴀᴍɪʟʟᴇ: ᴄɪɴɴᴀᴍᴏɴ ɢɪʀʟ 💗
cinnamon in my teeth
from your kiss, you're touching me
all the pills that you take
violet, blue, green, red to keep me at arm's length don't work
you try to push me out, but i just find my way back in
violet, blue, green, red to keep me out, i win
there's things i wanna say to you, but i'll just let you live
like if you hold me without hurting me
you'll be the first who ever did
there's things i wanna talk about, but better not to keep
but if you hold me without hurting me
you'll be the first who ever did
ᴄᴀꜱꜱᴀɴᴅʀᴀ: ᴄᴏʟᴀ
my pussy taste like pepsi cola
my eyes are wide like cherry pies
i gots a taste for men who are older
it's always been, so it's no surprise
ah, he's in the sky with diamonds
and he’s making me crazy
(i come alive, alive)
all he wants to do is party
with his pretty baby
come on baby, let’s ride
we can escape to the great sunshine
i know your wife and she wouldn’t mind
ᴀᴍʙᴇꜱꜱᴀ: ᴜʟᴛʀᴀᴠɪᴏʟᴇɴᴄᴇ
he used to call me dn
that stood for deadly nightshade
'cause i was filled with poison
but blessed with beauty and rage
jim told me that
he hit me and it felt like a kiss
[...]
he used to call me poison
like i was poison ivy
i could've died right then
'cause he was right beside me
jim raised me up
he hurt me but it felt like true love
[...]
with his ultraviolence
ultraviolence
ultraviolence
ultraviolence
i can hear sirens, sirens
he hit me and it felt like a kiss
i can hear violins, violins
give me all of that ultraviolence
ꜱᴇᴠɪᴋᴀ: ꜰʟᴏʀɪᴅᴀ ᴋɪʟᴏꜱ
white lines, pretty baby, tattoos
don't know what they mean, they're special, just for you
white lines, baking powder on the stove
cooking up a dream, turning diamonds into snow
i feel you, pretty baby, feel me
turn it up hot, loving you is free
i like it down, like it down, way low
but you already know that, you already know
come on down to florida, i got somethin' for ya
we could see the kilos or the keys, baby, oh yeah
guns in the summertime, chic-a-cherry cola lime
prison isn't nothing to me, if you'll be by my side
[...]
strung in my mouth and gold hoops
you like your little baby like you like your drinks, cool
white lines, pretty daddy, go skiing
you snort it like a champ, like the winter we're not in
ʀᴇɴᴀᴛᴀ: ᴍɪʟʟɪᴏɴ ᴅᴏʟʟᴀʀ ᴍᴀɴ
i don't know how you convince them and get them, but
i don't know what you do, it's unbelievable
i don't know how you get over, get over
someone as dangerous, tainted and flawed as you
one for the money, two for the show
i love you honey, i'm ready, i'm ready, to go
how did you get that way? i don't know
you're screwed up, and brilliant
look like a million dollar man
[...]
you've got the world, but baby at what price?
something so strange, hard to define
it isn't that hard boy, to like you or love you
i'd follow you down, down, down
you're unbelievable
if you're going crazy just grab me, take me
ᴠɪ: ʟᴜᴄᴋʏ ᴏɴᴇꜱ
let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire
everyone around here wants to be going down, down
if you stick with me, i can take you higher, and higher
it feels like all of our friends are lost
nobody's found, found, found
i got so scared, i thought no one could save me
you came along scooped me up like a baby
every now and then, the stars align
boy and girl meet by the great design
could it be that you and me are the lucky ones?
everybody told me love was blind
then i saw your face and you blew my mind
finally, you and me are the lucky ones this time
ꜱᴀᴍɪʀᴀ: ʙᴏʀɴ ᴛᴏ ᴅɪᴇ
why, who me, why?
feet don't fail me now
take me to your finish line
oh my heart it breaks every step that i take
but i'm hoping that the gates, they'll tell me that you're mine
walking through the city streets
is it by mistake or design?
i feel so alone on a friday night
can you make it feel like home if i tell you you're mine?
it's like i told you, honey
don't make me sad, don't make me cry
sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough, i don't know why
keep making me laugh
let's go get high
the road is long, we carry on
try to have fun in the meantime
come take a walk on the wild side
let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
you like your girls insane
so choose your last words, this is the last time
'cause you and i, we were born to die
ᴠᴀʏɴᴇ: ʙʟᴀᴄᴋ ʙᴇᴀᴜᴛʏ
i paint my nails black
i dye my hair a darker shade of brown
'cause you like your women spanish
dark, strong and proud
i paint the sky black
you said if you could have your way
you'd make a nighttime all today
so it'd suit the mood with your soul
but, oh, what can i do
to turn you on
or get through you?
oh, what can i do?
life is beautiful
but you don't have a clue
sun and ocean blue
that magnificence
it don't make sense to you
black beauty, oh

Hello! In your opinion, what are *the* most Kaylor-esque lyrics? :)
Hello there, anon!
I’m not sure if you are putting a limit on how many I can pick and obvioiusly there are A LOT of Kaylor-esque lyrics, but here are a few that sticks out to me as being almost oddly specific to Taylor and Karlie and things we’ve actually seen in their public relationship if that makes sense?
In order Of release:
You Are In Love:
You can feel it on the way home, way home
Tumblr media
As you can see “On the way home” was famously the caption on a photo of Taylor and Karlie frolocking on the beach in Big Sur uploaded to Taylor’s Instagram…Of course later, we found out that “You can feel it on the way home” is in fact a lyric from this sweet love song on 1989 called You Are In Love…………………… 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
You two are dancing in a snow globe, round and round
Tumblr media
Also from You Are In Love I believe this line is a sweet callback to the night they met and in fact did quite literally dance around together in snow. Or at least confetti that looked like the real thing…Looks kind of like a snow globe, wouldn’t you say?
This Is What You Came For:
Lightning strikes every time she movesAnd everybody’s watching herBut she’s looking at you
Tumblr media
Karlie is a model, Taylor’s a pop star, this means of course, that a lot of the time when they “move” (i.e do anything, really. Like go outside for a quick coffee run or work on a stage or a runway, do shoots, or just generally exist) people are going to be interested. They are going to keep their eyes on them and sometimes these people take pictures or film, most often because that’s their jobs…Camera flashes can really look like lightening sometimes when there’s a lot of it. A place where there tends to be a lot of it is on a catwalk and if your S/O is a supermodel I can imagine watching her in her element feels a lot like that. 
Even though all this commotion with flashes and intense gawking  is usually going on around them when they are in the same public space Taylor and Karlie seem to only have eyes for each other as exemplified briefly in the GIF above. I would say those simple, few lines of lyrics describe their public life together pretty well.
Don’t Blame Me:
I once was poison ivy, but nowI’m your daisy
Tumblr media
This is a pretty famous one. On the aforementioned road trip to Big Sur (which apparently was the “best. road. trip. ever.” One might even say the trip of their lives...) Karlie was seen in more than one picture with a yellow daisy in her hair. Later, on the way home, Karlie put said daisy on the dashboard, took a picture, posted it to Instagram and…Tagged Taylor as the daisy, thus indirectly calling Taylor her daisy. Then,  when Taylor wrote Don’t Blame Me she drew a pretty similarly looking daisy to accompany the lyrics above…Yeah, I can’t believe I’m not making this up, either!  🌼🌼🌼 If you’re interested in more from me on what that lyric might mean, check out my queer analysis of Don’t Blame Me right here!
Gorgeous:
You should take it as acomplimentThat I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk
A frequent topic of conversation here on Tumblr is Karlie’s kind of peculiar accent. She pronounces certain words (see among others: “Important” as “Import-hunt”) in a very unique way. I think the line here is once again a callback to the night they met (VSFS after party?) where upon talking more to Karlie Taylor also picked up on this unique feature, I can easily imagine her a little tipsy and infatuated, playfully copying the accent…We are all in agreement that Gorgeous is written from the perspective of a very drunk, very dramatic lesbian, right?
King Of My Heart:
We met a few weeks agoNow you try on callin’ me, baby, like tryin’ on clothes
I personally think the lyrics is “now you try callin me ‘baby’ like tryin on clothes” as in Karlie is trying out the pet name ‘baby’ on Taylor after they’ve been hanging out for a couple of weeks. Taylor compares this to how Karlie “tries on clothes” in her line of work, becuase maybe at this point Taylor doesn’t dare hope they’ll last yet and so thinks that Karlie is just trying something out for a brief period of time, like when she briefly wears something she’d never normally wear for a shoot or a runway. I don’t know, I just think this line is neat in light of Karlie’s line of work, solid writing/metaphor/simile, Swift!
Salute to me  like the American DreamAnd you move to me like I’m a Motown beat
Yes, you read that right, these are not the released lyrics, instead they are lyrics from the The Making Of A Song video for King Of My Heart. 
Karlie (on Taylor):
Tumblr media
Taylor (contemplating putting glaringly obvious lyrics into an already very obvious song):
Tumblr media
What about the Motown reference then?
Well, here’s Taylor referring to her and Karlie getting ready for the MET together as a “Motown dance party”
Tumblr media
Here is Karlie in the music video for CHIC’s I’ll Be There moving kind of suggestively to the Motown music while in her underwear:
youtube
Here finally is Scott Borchetta (whom I know very well that we hate now and for good reason too, but this tweet is still a gem):
Tumblr media
He’s tweeting about Karlie’s part in the video (calling her gorgeous) and telling Taylor (SPECIFICALLY) to check it out…
Up on the roof with a school-girl crushDrinking beer out of plastic cups
Tumblr media
As you can tell King Of My Heart isn’t quite done delivering yet, they’re admittedly not on a roof here, but they sure are drinking beer out of plastic cups and if you check out the rest of the pictures from this date Taylor very clearly appears to have a girl-crush indeed, a mutual one at that! 🌈🌈🌈🌈
Dancing With Our Hands Tied:
I, I loved you in spiteofDeep fears that the world would divide usSo, baby, can we danceOh, through an avalanche?And say, say that we got it
The saddest one on this list is of course from the famous “Kissgate” song. Here Taylor laments that for one night she dared express her love for Karlie openly and now there peaceful snow globe from You Are In Live has turned into an avalanche of chaos. Taylor asks if Karlie thinks there releationship will survive this and begs her to say that they’ve got this and will be okay… This whole song breaks my gay lil heart and I can’t wait to cry my way through writing my upcoming analysis of it! 💔💔💔
Dress:
I don’t want you like a best friend
Yeah, I don’t think this one’s gonna require much of an explanation 😂🌈
Thank you for such a wonderfully fun and interesting question anon 😊

Baldur’s Bane
AO3 link here
Chapters: 1 / 4 Fandom: DCU, DCU (Comics), Batman - All Media Types Rating: Mature Relationships: Tim Drake/Reader Tags: Mistletoe, vague sex pollen,  happy holidays from Poison Ivy
Summary:
The Poetic Edda has one thing right: mistletoe is a pain. The batboys and their mistletoe machinations.
There is no worse time to live in the city than during the holiday season. Traffic is more congested than usual, public transit is overcrowded with both travelers and their purchases, and outings have to be plotted with more precision than most military operations. And if the cutthroat soccer moms in retail lines aren’t brutal enough, there’s always an uptick in criminal activity, Gotham’s villains cooking up more than just Christmas ham.
And speaking of Christmas ham—
“Where are you?”
Your grocery bags leave angry stripes on your arms as you manage to adjust your phone between your ear and shoulder. Not for the first time, you consider going hands-free. You’re sure your boyfriend would hook you up with something considerably higher tech than a Bluetooth, though, so you don’t mention your struggle.
“Sorry?” you say, lifting one overburdened arm to plug your other ear.
“Are you home?” Tim sounds out of breath. “Please tell me that’s the television I hear in the background.”
You look around at the holiday crowds in the shopping center. “Um. It’s the television?”
Tim mutters something unintelligible. It might be a curse. “Stay where you are. I’m coming to get you.”
You open your mouth to reply, any number of comments sitting on your tongue, but he’s already hung up. He always forgets the niceties when he’s stressed; you try not to take it personally. You also don’t bother to ask how he knows your location, instead staring down at the dark screen of your GPS-emitting phone with something akin to betrayal.
Hero-types. Honestly.
Though he instructed you to stay put, you’re sure Tim didn’t mean for you to stand in the middle of foot traffic, so you move off to the side. There’s a bench in sight of the complex’s garland-wrapped stairs and accompanying escalators, and you gratefully sit, bags splaying around you. Your arms protest the sudden return of circulation. Nothing in your immediate vicinity strikes you as alarming—other than the weirdly breathy rendition of Santa Baby playing over the loudspeakers—and you consider checking your news feed to see what has Tim in such a tizzy. Is it another mechanical Santa gone rogue? Are the roads being converted to ice rinks via freeze rays?
How soon does this food need to be refrigerated, anyway?
You have a Christmas potluck at work to prepare for, and then a few last-minute gifts to worry about purchasing before you can even think about settling back and enjoying the holidays. Just sitting here listening to increasingly bad covers of Christmas songs has you feeling antsy.
In your distraction, you almost don’t notice the creeping greenery.
There’s no shortage of people-watching to be done in the heart of Gotham, the city drawing people from all walks of life. You’re playing the old stand-by game, How Many Hero Shirts (twelve so far, and one shirtdress with bat symbol print,) and you can’t help but note that there’re a lot of handsy people out today. There’s a couple making out on the escalator, stumbling as their steps level out with the floor. Two others bump into a column near you, locked together in a passionate embrace. You’re starting to feel like a voyeur, actually, your eyes darting around to see more coat clad figures succumbing to… what? Holiday spirit? Where’s the sense of decorum?
Your eyes meet the scrunched gaze of a kid, probably eight or so, whose parents are getting a little too friendly nearby. Both of your expressions say the same thing: what the hell? Or, in his case, heck.
And then you see the mistletoe.
“Only in Gotham,” you mutter. There’s no one in hearing range (who isn’t otherwise engaged) to hear you let loose a string of colorful words, and you gather up your bags, heedless of Tim’s previous warning, and make toward the nearest exit. The greenery stretches along the walls and vaulted ceiling of the complex, spreading ever further even as you watch. The skylights are quickly being overtaken, the natural light choked out by waxy leaves. It’s unmistakably mistletoe, berries hanging in clumps of both red and white, although you’ve never heard of it growing as a vine. It’s beautiful… and ominous. Somehow, you don’t think the glimmering substance drifting off of the leaves like clouds of golden pollen is anything as innocuous as craft glitter.
Your nose itches, and you valiantly repress a sneeze.
There are other shoppers rushing past, and only some of them look aware of the possible danger. A pinch-mouthed woman with an oversized purse marches past, glaring at the living décor, and you realize that some of the pedestrians are just willfully ignorant. Apparently, some things are more important than Poison Ivy’s (because who else could it be?) newest gambit, although you can’t imagine what. Maybe Kirklands is having a sale.
A sudden tug scatters your thoughts of country chic bargains, and you’re dragged into an emergency exit hallway before you have a chance to protest.
“Sorry for the ambush, but we have to go.” It’s Tim. Of course it’s Tim.
You note that he’s in civilian clothes, eyes unmasked, and you open your mouth to question him, but he half-turns, looking around with suspicion, and you see a peek of red beneath his coat. Ah. You’d bet anything that if you checked his pockets right now, you’d find a domino mask.
“That’s awfully sloppy for you,” you tease, nodding to his outfit when he meets your gaze with a quizzical look of his own.
He looks down, then hastily buttons his coat.
“I didn’t exactly have time for a full costume change,” he says, mouth flat, but eyes crinkling up. He lifts your bags from bloodless fingers and jerks his head toward the glowing exit sign. You’d ask about the alarm on the door, but you’re almost certain that he came in this way.
“Are you going to or from an engagement?” You’re careful with your phrasing even when you think you’re alone; it never does to assume around here. Not when the walls have eyes and ears.
“I’m in the middle of an engagement,” he says, emphasis on “engagement.” He hoists the bags up higher, readjusting. “Did you buy rocks, by any chance?”
You trail behind, through the door and into a service alley. There’s a sleek car there, parked no-doubt illegally.
“They were on sale,” you say, rolling your eyes. “If you can’t handle them, I can take them off of your hands.”
The car’s tiny trunk pops open, the parcels quickly wedged inside. Tim turns with a tiny grin and a raised eyebrow. “I think I got it.”
“Baby.”
“Oh, are we doing pet names now?” His grin grows, widening to near shit-eating proportions. He leans against the rear bumper, keys spinning in his hand, and you want to wipe the self-satisfied look off his face.
Preferably with your face.
Something must show in your expression, because Tim’s smile flickers and he’s suddenly in your space, eyes shifting from warm to analytical. He reaches up and brushes your shoulder, and you glance in surprise to see a fine dusting of golden powder puff beneath his fingertips.
“Well,” you say, swallowing against the sudden tightness in your throat. “That’s… probably not good.”
Tim’s mouth is a hard line. “Nothing life threatening, but—” He rubs his fingers together, the dust dissipating. “I’m taking you home.”
You’re ushered into the low-sitting sports car, Tim sliding into the drivers seat a half second later. There’s no music to distract you from your growing anxiety, and no police scanner either. Tim, when you glance at him, looks distracted, though his eyes are on the road, and his driving smooth as he slips through traffic. Your eyes keep slipping to his mouth, and you berate yourself for it. You’re as bad as the shoppers in the—
Wait.
“Did Poison Ivy infect the city with sex pollen?”
Tim grimaces, eyes flicking to yours and then away. “”Sex pollen” is a bit of an overstatement. There’s certainly some kind of aphrodisiac element to the plants, but we don’t think it’s anything strong enough to break through preexisting reservations.”
“So people aren’t jumping each other in the street right now?” You look out of the window as if to check, but you’ve already passed the last of the spreading greenery. There were several blocks infested with it, though.
He looks uncomfortable. “I didn’t say that.”
“Shouldn’t you be out there?” Not that you aren’t thrilled to be out of the thick of it—who knows when the plants might start to choke their victims with something more than pollen—but your boyfriend is kind of an important person to the city.
“I was—actually, I was one of the first on sight.” He shifts in his seat, taking the turn into your apartment’s parking.
You stare at him.
“Are you—?” Realization dawns. “You weren’t wearing anything over your face.”
Tim parks the car, but leaves it idling. “…No.”
You lean over, turning his chin so that he’s looking you in the eye. His pupils are blown.
“Oh my god,” you say.
“Like I said, nothing life threatening.” He shifts in his seat again. “Just—uncomfortable.”
You almost laugh, but—no, that would be mean. And frankly, hypocritical, because you’re feeling “uncomfortable,” too.
You regard each other for several breaths.
“Well,” you say at the same time Tim says, “Do you—?”
You both stop, and then, with a mental shrug, you decide to just go for it.
Your seatbelt clicks open with a startlingly loud crack, and you let it sling back toward the window even as you duck under the low roof of the car and shimmy over the console. It’s not a car designed for spontaneous lap-sitting, but you think you can make do. Tim, quick on the uptake, slides the seat as far away from the wheel as it will go—not very—and immediately brackets your hips with his hands.
“We could just go insi—” he starts, but you cut him off with a press of your lips. He doesn’t protest after that.
The angle isn’t great, and there’s a little movement as Tim tries to lean the seat back, but you ignore the twinge in your neck and move your mouth against his, his lips softening into compliance. You curl your fingers over his shoulder, your other hand traveling up to grasp dark strands of hair, drawing a little sound from him when you tug. You draw back and he reels you back in, one kiss turning into a flurry of not-quite closed mouth kisses. You breathe a sigh against him, happy to have him here, regardless of the circumstances, and he takes the opportunity to deepen the kiss, tongue sliding sweetly against yours.
You’re a little more frantic now, and a lot less reserved. The pace of your kisses quickens, your breaths coming in short pants. Beside you, the window is fogging. Tim’s hand slips beneath your shirt, palm like a brand over your spine. You shift, bringing your bodies closer, and your hips press into his, and oh—
“I think,” Tim rasps, breaking away with a gutted sound, “that we need to get out of this car before we get arrested for public indecency.”
You run your thumb over his lower lip, and he turns his head to nip at it.
“You want to do indecent things to me, Tim Drake?” You mean it to sound coy, but it sounds more like a plea.
Tim reaches behind you to open the door, his chest pressing against yours. Cold air rushes in, but that’s not what has you shivering.
“I have a list of indecent things I’d like to do to you,” he says in your ear. “Would you like to go alphabetically or chronologically?”
It’s probably the nerdiest dirty talk you’ve heard in your life, but you’re already clambering out, Tim hot on your heels.
“Oh!” you say, starting to turn. “The ham.”
Tim makes a sound not unlike a growl. “Forget the ham; you’re coming over for Christmas dinner.” His hand is on your lower back, already guiding you away.
You open your mouth to protest—it’s not for you, it’s for the potluck—but then his words sink in.
Coming over for—
Oh. He’s inviting you to the manor. With his family. Of superheroes.
You stumble up the stairs to your apartment in a sort of daze, but then you’re at the door, and Tim is commandeering your keys, bundling you inside, mouth on your neck, and then—
And then you don’t do much thinking at all.

Part 58/87 of my Female Rogues of Gotham City series
Of course, there are few people in Gotham City who know the rogues quite as well as the doctors at the Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane, where so many of them have spent most of their adult lives.  Jeremiah Arkham himself believed that he might someday be able to cure these people of their mental illnesses and rid Gotham of these heartaches forever, earning more than a few eyerolls from the cynical public. And while a few of the women in his charge hold no hope for any of the Asylum’s patients to ever be well again, a few others still work to guide them back into society and make the world a better place.
Alyce Sinner was the sole survivor of a ritual suicide pact taken by the Jonestown-style evangelical cult her parents belonged to; to remind herself of her failure and as a twisted way of coping with her survivor’s guilt, she wore red ribbons inscribed with the Seven Deadly Sins in her hair most of her adult life.  Even after she earned her doctorate in psychiatry and became the protégé of Dr. Jeremiah Arkham, she had an obsession with the kind of chaos she’d witnessed as a girl and a sort of unconscious desire to recreate it, and in Arkham Asylum with the more feeble-minded patients and her softhearted and naïve mentor she had the most fertile ground for it she could possibly hope for.  So forging a secret alliance with Black Mask, Alyce decided to seed chaos into the Asylum, hacking into the secure networks and freeing the prisoners so that they could wreak havoc upon the doctors, letting her own madness fester as she watched with an odd sense of accomplishment; when Batman and Nightwing showed up to quell the riots after days of senseless violence, she could think of no other course of action than to destroy the evidence of her crime and herself with it, but Nightwing was there to take her finger off the detonator she’d rigged and make sure she found her own mental help in Central City.
Joan Leland earned the reputation over years of medical practice as one of the most compassionate doctors within Arkham, but that reputation came very hard-earned.  Throughout her long studies in college, she struggled a great deal with her own stress and depressive tendencies, a fact not helped by her volunteer work at a local detention center for criminals awaiting trial, and the only way she could cope was to throw herself into her pursuit of knowledge; it also didn’t help that many of her former friends and colleagues during her first five years in Arkham, including Jonathan Crane and Harleen Quinzel, became her patients after having fallen into the criminal element themselves.  Nevertheless, Joan has dedicated herself to rehabilitating as many of the rogues as she can, keeping a much more realistic outlook than her boss, but still holding out hope for their humanity.
Penelope Young, in direct contrast to Dr. Leland, became famous for holding her patients to impossibly high standards and dealing with transgressions in drastic and almost cruel ways; she’s always believed in the “ideal mental patient” who overcomes their psychosis by simply pulling themselves up by their bootstraps through hard work and proper medication, and if someone doesn’t fit that model for her or if she can’t force them to fit that model, she will give up on them.  As one can imagine, this cold-blooded approach made her an enemy to many of the rogues, and when the Asylum collapsed into open warfare and pandemonium during the events of Knightfall, the Joker and many others lost no time in subjecting her to the same cruelty she put them through, forcing her to experience the place as a prisoner herself.  Batman was able to save her from the clutches of Victor Zsasz, Poison Ivy, and Bane, but it was finally a remote explosive rigged by the Joker that took her life.
Chase Meridian was there from the very beginning of many of the rogues, including the Riddler, Two-Face, and the Mad Hatter, witnessing them at their best and worst and trying to understand how their experiences had made them change so fundamentally.  While she was often jeered at by her male peers for being too pristine and chic to be rubbing elbows with Gotham’s lowest, she was genuinely interested in the effects trauma had on the mind and didn’t care how many pairs of expensive shoes she had to ruin while trekking through the lowest corners of the city to find answers.  One of her most memorable patients, however, was Batman himself while he had been thrown into Arkham to experience it from the inside by his greatest foes; Chase managed to make the days he spent in his solitary cell a little more bearable through her conversation, and to this day she ranks alongside Leslie Thompkins as a professional he knows he can always go to.
