Quote

When Frankenstein was first published in 1818, many readers were shocked. What could be more appalling than the tale of a mad scientist creating life? What kind of person would write such a terrible story? Critics believed the novel was hostile to religion, as it depicted a human being attempting to appropriate the role of God. One contemporary writer complained that the book was “horrible and disgusting.” He declared that the author must be “as mad as his hero.”1 He could not accuse anyone in particular, however, as no one knew the author’s identity. The book had been published anonymously, and when people discovered the author’s name, the truth seemed even more scandalous than the “horrible” story itself. The author was a woman, and her name was Mary Godwin Shelley.

Charlotte Gordon, from the introduction to Frankenstein: The 1818 Text by Mary Shelley

Major takeaways from the biography of Mary Wollstonecraft and Mary Shelley:

Women supported their households/families financially much more often than we are led to believe; they just had no legal claim to the money they earned and managed if they were married. Both Marys did this from their adolescence to their deaths.

The degree to which people, mostly men (especially Wollstonecraft’s own husband), simply lied about both of these women during their lives and after their deaths is stunning and did immeasurable harm to their reputations for almost two centuries.

The main reason we even have access to these women’s literary achievements or any real biographical understanding of them is second-wave feminists taking a renewed interest in their work. Even suffragists and other early feminists distanced themselves from them (because of the PR hit job men had done to their reputations and writing).

Men who adamantly proclaim that Free Love is one of their core tenets are to be distrusted at all times (this isn’t news lol).

The malicious trend of accusing feminist women of “hypocrisy” if they can’t make literally every aspect of their lives politically pure (spoiler: no one can do that) has existed forever. Many of both women’s own supposed political and personal allies did this to them constantly.

If you’re going to get super into boats, you should probably learn to swim @ Percy Bysshe Shelley.

Five nights at Freddy’s but it's Batman.

If you were expecting this to make sense....Don't.

I started ranting about this while half asleep.

I'm not following any time line just game order.

Also we're skipping fnaf 2.

Barbara Gordon is Charlotte "Charlie" Emily.

She is killed by Joe Chill aka the Joker aka William Afton aka the Purple Guy.

Her father, Jim Gordon aka Henry Emily is devastated. He has no idea how this occurred.

Not a clue.

Totally didn't see the purple car at the crime scene.

A purple car he sees every morning.

... Nope.

He goes to the cops but it's Gotham so they don't do shit.

However, because it's Gotham Batman shows up to help.

But unfortunately no one knows who killed poor Babs so gotta do some investigating.

Also there's been a string of dissappearances around the restaurant.

People are loving calling it "the missing children's incident."

And the cops are doing nothing so Batman is also investigating that and wonders if the two are connected.

Bat's makes the great decision to go undercover as a nighttime security guard.

And despite the fact he is very clearly billionaire Bruce Wayne in a security uniform.

No one recognises him.

He is now Mike Schmidt.

... You know still a better name for his cover than Matches Malone.

And because I recently watched Batman: The Doom that came to Gotham.

Great, one of the weirdest things I've ever watched.

... Don't watch it if you like Talia because... Yikes.

Anyway, so Bruce is very much on his fear works because villians are superstitious and cowardly.

I don't believe in magic, everything can be explained by science.

...And than Golden Freddy bursts into the office.

Had to rework a few things than.

It takes him less than 5 nights to figure it all out.

Beats the shit out of and gets Joe Chill arrested.

But it's Gotham and FNAF so it doesn't even go that far.

Not that they know for years later.

During this time Bruce adopts another kid, Jason.

Yeah Dick is here but he left to another city.

He's officially the smart one.

No he doesn't have a character equivalent he's just... There.

Jason however later turns out to be Jason Chill aka the son of Joe Chill.

Aka this worlds Michael Afton.

Gets wind his real father isnt Willis Todd but Joe Chill.

Goes after him, despite him being in hiding for years.

Does this by working at Fazbear Frights as a nighttime security guard.

Witnesses Joe Chill destroying the animatronics.

Releasing the spirits and causing Joe Chill to back into his Spring lock suite.

Multiple springlock failures occure.

Jason gets on tape that he's the murderer and killed Barbara Gordon.

Bruce and Jim show up and together they set the place on fire with Joe Chill's body inside.

But no body is ever found.

One of the old locations starts up again.

Bruce finds out Joe Chill had another son, and adopts him.

Leaving out the whole... We set him on fire.. Maybe.

This kid is Tim Chill aka the crying child.

Who Jason likes to mess with and Tim messes with him back in turn.

Jason plays a seemingly harmless prank on Tim... That he ends up taking too far.

And in his defence no one knew that the Golden Freddy animatronic had the jaw strength of a shark.

Bruce goes into mourning.

The body goes missing.

Jason wanting to fix things does his own investigation and finds Circus Baby's entertainment and rentals.

Ran by Chill robotics.

Turns out Joe Chill decided to literally put his child back together.

And infused Baby with his remnant.

His lil clown.

Though both sides of Tim, both Joker Jr and the brother of Jason fight over Jason's fate.

Whether he should live or die.

Joker Jr I mean Baby wins and Jason is scooped.

Dick, who was staying in Gotham for Tim's funeral, realises Jason has gone missing.

And goes out to search for him.

Finding the his brother now a disturbing shade of purple and an undead zombie.

Gets Jason back home, Jason is basically catatonic only repeating "You won't die, you won't die" over and over.

Bruce gives him a big hug, apologising for blaming Jason and pushing him away.

Though Jason is convinced Tim's fate is his fault.

He ends up puking up Ennard, which Bruce captures and puts in the Batcave.

They take what's left of Baby and upload Tim's consciousness to a robotic version of him Jim just... Had on hand.

Along with a robot Barbara.

... Yeah don't, don't worry about it.

Jason apologises profusely, Tim calls him a dumbass, things are finally right with the world.

Butt this isn't enough for Jim who realises an animatronic can't replace his Barbara.

Decides if I can't have my happy ending none of you can.

Has a redo birthday party for Tim and sets the place on fire.

... Except it does literally nothing and Bruce shoves him in Arkham and just takes Babs back with him.

Way to go smart guy.

Damian Wayne aka Gregory shows up at some point. He got told he couldn't go to the pizzaplex.

And went anyway.

Gave everyone a heart attack, stole Glamrock Freddy and made a friend in Cassandra Cain aka Vanessa.

A trained assassin who Joe Chill was trying to hypnotise into killing for him.

They tried to kill each other if the cause of a night so they're friends now.

Bruce adopts another child all is well with the world.

Until Jonathan Kent aka Cassie shows up because of a fake message luring him to the pizzaplex saying Damian was in danger.

The mimic gets it's butt kicked, Bruce lectures Clark about not keeping an eye on his son.

The hypocrite.

And everyone goes home.

Oh and Jim and his wife got divorced when Babs died.

His wife taking and raising their son, James Gordon Jr aka Sammy Emily.

Who's just off living life and is still a serial killer.

Soo... Yeah.

... Idk what this is but it exists now.

"He saves lifes. And what happens next isn't his responsibility. You saved the Joker's life, more than once. He's killed hundred, thousands, since. So much pain has come from your intervention. You think you're a hero, but you're not. You're imbalance, chaos in a cape."

Batman: The Detective (2021).

Chapter nine is finally here, sorry it took longer than usual I wanted to make sure this chapter was on the longer side

———————————————————————————————

Grey was getting ready for her double date. She was nervous this would be her first date and she still can’t get over the fact she asked gauche to join her. She had asked him when she and Vanessa had bumped into him and his sister, she had unconsciously built up the courage to ask him out. At the time she felt embarrassed but now she is feeling a bit happy and nervous, this is everything she could have hoped for, not to mention that Zora and Nebra would be there so it won’t be awkward. Although Zora and Nebra will be there, and why they did love her, Grey is sure they will tease her and Gauche. Not to mention this would be Zora’s second time meeting Gauche, and after their first meeting Grey was sure Zora wasn’t too fond of the brunette, so she is hoping Nebra will be able to help keep Zora calm.

Knock Knock Knock

‘That must be Gauche’ Grey thought to herself, she looked at her blue dress and jacket, both of which she had bought with Vanessa, if all went well she would thank the pink haired women. Grey opened the door and was greeted by Gauche wearing jeans and a purple button up shirt. Grey blushed a bit thinking the man looked handsome in his attire, and Gauche thought she looked beautiful in her attire as well.

“Um, Hi Grey” Gauche scratched the back of his head nervously, this was his first date so of course he was nervous.

“H-Hi Gauche” Grey greeted back shyly.

“You look stunning today”

“S-So do you”

It got awkward now, neither of them knew what to do. All of a sudden Gauche held out hand for Grey who took it coyly. As they walked to the car Gauche opened the door for her, remembering what Sister Teresa told him to do for a lady. They drove to the restaurant the Purple Peacock, it was owned by Dorothy Unsworth, a close friend of Yami. That was one of the main reasons when Zora asked her where she wanted to go eat she chose there, because if anything were to happen she knew there would be people she could trust. Arriving there Gauche got out of the car and opened the door for her like a true gentleman, they then entered the restaurant where they heard a familiar voice.

“Grey, you made it” they heard Zora say, they both turned and saw Zora and his girlfriend Nebra silva sitting in a booth.

“Hi to you too Zora” Grey greeted her brother, who had gotten up to go hug her. “Hello Nebra, It’s good to see you again”

“I can same too you Grey” The silver haired women said with a smile, but she then noticed Gauche “oh, and you must be Grey’s date” Nebra asked, causing both Grey and Gauche to blush, and Zora to glare at Gauche, now just noticing the brunette’s existence.

“Um, hello I’m Gauche Adlai, and yes I’m Grey’s date” he said slightly embarrassed.

“Pleasure to meet the man who swept Grey off her feet” Nebra teased them. “Why don’t you two take a seat, and Grey before you say anything the food is on me”

“But Nebr-”

“Ah ah ah, It’s fine Grey” Nebra assured her. Grey never liked people wasting their money on her, she didn’t like it when Zora did it when they first started hanging out, and she definitely doesn’t like it when Nebra does it. Despite Nebra saying she was financially stable didn’t mean Grey didn’t feel guilty, and she always swore (much to Nebra insistence not to) Grey always promised to pay her back some way somehow, since Nebra wouldn’t accept any cash Grey offered her. As Grey and Gauche sat down and looked at the menu to order, Zora whether he realized or not had sat closer to Grey in a protective way, which didn’t go unnoticed by Nebra. She nudged his shoulder so that he would stop. Once they had all ordered their food the table got quite awkward, being that Grey and Gauche didn’t know what to say, Zora seemingly hating Gauche’s guts, and Nebra trying to hold the double date together.

“So how’s life going Grey?” Nebra asked, trying to ease the tension.

“Well everything so far has gone…alright” Grey responded, remembering the mission.

“Really, did something happen?” Nebra noticed the tone of the response and got a bit concerned.

“U-Um, just a bad day at work” Grey tried to not mention seeing her ex’s brother, especially not when Gauche is here.

“I understand that, I’ve had my fair share of terrible days” Nebra sighed, she then laid her head on Zora’s shoulder. “But then I get to spend time with this prankster”

Zora smiled and gave her a small kiss on her forehead before turning back to Grey and Gauche.

“That’s very sweet” Grey smiled, the thought of that sounded incredible to her. Being able to come home after a long tiring day and resting with the person you love sounds like a dream to her.

“So Grey, how long have you and Gauche known each other, Co-worker wise, before you two started dating?” Nebra asked.

“Oh, um I believe for two years, right?” She looked at Gauche for confirmation.

“Give or take, though this is our first date” Gauche blushed, responding though he never expected to go out on a date with Grey, so far he must admit he was enjoying it. Though Zora seemed to have it out for him, he could tell from their first meeting and now that Zora hated his guts, just because he was having a date with Grey.

“So Gauche, what do you do? I understand since you are co-workers with Grey you must do something close to her department right?” Zora asked, the question catching both Grey and Gauche off guard. Grey’s alibi is that she worked at the Blue roses that is run by Charlotte Roselei, another close friend of Yami. But would they buy that he works there?

“I work for the marketing department” Gauche said in a calm demeanor, he knew her alibi and with his quick thinking thought of a position that would be believable and one he could use later on if need be.

“Oh really, well you seem like you would be good at marketing” Nebra responded, obviously seeming very believable. Even Zora thought it did make sense, as much as he hates to admit it.

“So what made you want to date Grey huh?” Zora asked with venom in his voice.

“Zora?” Grey asked, concerned.

“Because…” Gauche stopped, he asked her out because Marie wanted a sister, but is that what he told himself so as to not face his feelings? The longer he took the worse it looked, and more furious Zora got.

“Hey, why don’t you talk?”

“Zora please” Grey pleaded, she started feeling bad once Gauche stopped talking but Zora trying to aggravate him made her feel worse.

“Look at him he doesn’t even know why, he should know by now, I’ll be damned if you date someone who can’t answer a simple question!” The tense was thick and Grey for one couldn’t handle it, she got up just as Gauche snapped out of it.

“Grey?” He asked

“I-I’m going to see what’s taking our drinks so long, o-okay” She told them, Knowing the distress they caused her none of them said anything in resistance. She walked to the bar and asked for their drinks, and while there she sighed feeling terrible like she caused this.

“Why so sad sis?” An all too familiar voice asked. Grey looked next to her to find Vanica Zogratis staring at her with her one crimson eye, Grey felt so much terror. Vanica out of all of them scared her the most second only to him, Vanica would always torture her either mentally or physically and at the end of the day would still call her sister like some sick joke. Grey couldn’t do anything but quickly walk back from Vanica, she knew vanica wasn’t dumb and she wouldn’t attack Grey in public, she was a hunter she would wait for her prey to be alone. So Grey had to get to a safe place. The base that was her safe haven, but that would mean leaving Zora and Nebra in the middle of their double date, Grey was conflicted should she leave for her own safety? Or should she stay for the sake of the date, but is she willing to put them in danger? In the end she made her decision. Grey ran to the table and grabbed Gauche’s arm.

“W-We have to leave”

“What, why Grey?” Gauche asked concerned, Zora and Nebra were worried as well.

“B-Because I just remembered we have to do something at work”

“But it’s ten o’clock?” Zora asked suspiciously.

“Y-Yeah, well our boss is big on getting work done” She laughed nervously before dragging Gauche back to the car.

“H-Hey, Grey what’s going on?” Gauche asked as they could hear Zora asking where they were going.

“No time to explain, just drive to the base!” Grey said finally able to freak out.

Gauche then saw a woman with black hair and an eye patch walk out the restaurant, looking around till her eyes landed on Grey, whose face turned pale. Gauche understood the situation and immediately started the car and drove off rapidly. Vanica watched as her sister and who seemed to be her partner drove away.

“Oh how fun” She said in a borderline seductive yet blood thirsty voice. She got in her car and chased after them at high speeds, meanwhile Gordon had witnessed it all and told Dorothy who soon contacted Yami. All the while the chase continued.

“Come on come on we’re almost there” Grey said as she looked back using the mirrors, she was panicking and it showed.

“Grey we’ll make it trust me okay, I don’t know who that woman is but I assure you, I won’t let her hurt you” Gauche told her, It helped her calm down a bit but Gauche didn’t know what Vanica was unlike she did. If Vanica caught them, it would be a fate worse than death.

“Gauche the exit!” Grey screamed, just in time too because once they turned it caught Vanica off guard and she was going too fast and couldn’t turn in time. She crashed into a tree and sat there motionless as Grey and Gauche got away and made it to the base safely.

“H-Haha HAHAHAHA!!!” Vanica laughed maniacally as blood dripped down her face from her forehead ‘That damn bitch!’ She thought as she pulled out her phone and dialed her brother.

Zenon answered the phone while he was talking to Dante.

“Vanica, did you retrieve her?” Zenon asked.

“No the blue hair skank got away, and I’m afraid where she went won’t be an easy place to break into” She told them, Zenon was frustrated but couldn’t hold a candle to Dante’s fury.

“Gather the disciples,” Dante said with authority. “I’ll retrieve her myself” He said, and Zenon knew better than to fight him on the subject so as soon as he hung up ok Vanica, ensuring someone would go get her, he walked to gather the troops.

All the while Dante looked out the window.

“My love, I’ll remind you just how much I love you”

It probably wasn’t intentional, but I never noticed the parallel between Cass getting mad at Babs for talking about Steph after her death, and Babs slapping Misfit for talking about Cass while she was evil.

Additional Tags:

Case Fic angst with a Happy Ending emotional Hurt/Comfort

Summary:

There’s something wrong with Dick.

Tim thought everything was getting back to normal. Bruce was alive and back in their timeline, the Birds of Prey were once again operating out of Gotham, Dick had the city well under control as Batman and even Damian had been less obnoxious than usual.

And then during a firefight at a warehouse by the docks, Tim was almost hit by a flying boomerang. And Dick never noticed.

When something is wrong with your big brother, who else do you turn to but your big sisters?

Hey, all. I have this friend, MachSabre, that is deleting the DeviantArt page he's had for a while. Has something to do with DA dealing with AI-generated art...I don't know the finer details, but he's getting rid of it Sunday, November 13th. Sorry this is so last-minute, but if you're interested in checking out his page and saving his stuff for posterity, CLICK HERE. He's got years of work there, so you can see the progression of his style. He's done Transformers, cartoons, original characters, Transformers, comics, stuff from HIS web comics, and...I think some Transformers stuff. Here's one of his pieces that I've always liked, "Chiropteras".
