So earlier I saw a post about how someone switched their windows to plexi-glass. Which gave me the idea to do the same…for my balcony.
Now my apartment balcony is a little weird. The person before me got permission to build a weird greenhouse/sunroom on the balcony as long as the windows aren’t actually attached to the balcony. There’s a foot gap between the railings and windows. I also live on the top floor, so the view’s pretty nice.
Instead of getting rid of it, I turned it into my own little window seat/bed. Due to this, plexi-glass became extremely appealing as I’d rather not wake up being covered in glass, and possibly a Rouge or Vigilante on top of me. After I made the window switch a few interesting things have happened which I listed below:
* As expected, the first few days were filled with various Rouges and Vigilantes bouncing off my window room like a bug. It wasn’t until Red Robin bounced off it, fell between the railing and window gap that something happened. Once he got up and processed it, he looked at me through the window in horror, cried “Not you too!”. I guess plexi-glass Is becoming popular in Gotham. #idontblamethem
* the roof of my little window room is slanted. I expected at some point someone would land on it and slip off. Especially in Gotham’s rainy weather, it becomes a lethal water slide. What I did not except was the the first person to slip off it was Batman. He made a “hng!” sound and just disappeared. Like the earth just ate him. He paid me 1000$ for my silence. #sorrybatman #pleasedontkillme
* to switch things up, I placed a box of those special window markers outside one night to see what would happen. The next morning the whole thing was completely graffitied I couldn’t see through it. There were riddles, jokes, logos, equations, etc. Later I was informed by the newest robin that the left window facing the neighboring buildings wall will be the “graffiti window” so my view of the city wouldn’t be obstructed. #thanksguys #nicedoodlesHarley #theansweris’view’riddler
* I was working on some essay for sociology. I accidentally fell asleep and when I woke up, someone by the initials of “SC” wrote an entire essay on my windows for me to copy. #thankscrane
* Red Robin fell through the window roof. Noticing this, he danced around my apartment singing about how he finally broke a plexi-glass window. I didn’t have the heart to tell him that he didn’t actually break it. Just somehow fell through the open part of my window. #sorrydude #dontgiveup #itwasareallyniceday
* The top favorite thing that has happened so far. I was really sick and just stayed home in my blanket nest looking out the window people watching.Then I heard a loud “thump”. Looking up, Nightwing belly flopped onto the window roof, kept eye contact with me the whole time he slowly slid (and squeaked) down, dramatically crying when he finally fell off. Then climbed back up to deliver a care package the Batfam made for me. He warned me about not accepting any other care packages that were not from batfam. I got five other packages and took them all. #imstillalive #didntknowiwassoloved
* Second favorite thing to happen (and last part of the list.) I did put up curtains around my window setup for privacy. I usually close them when I go to bed or know I’ll be walking around my apartment practically naked. One morning, I woke up to someone talking right outside my window room. Pulling the curtain covering the graffiti window back, I found Riddler drawing an elaborate plan to rob a bank, explaining the plan too. His henchmen were on the neighboring buildings fire escape watching intently. When the Riddler realized I was awake, he became all flustered and proceeded to shout “I like your sun eyes!” (My eyes are a light hazel.) tumbled out of the balcony into the dumpster right below it. #icouldntstoplaughing #neithercouldthehenchmen #onlyingotham
