An OTP I used to know?

Idk about y’all but

I’m having severe flashbacks over here.  Y’all are probably too young to remember Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicle.  But aside from Yurio never looking that goofy - I’m gettin’ chills over here  ヽ(°〇°)ﾉ

Blast from the Past: Does Stephanie Brown exist in the New 52?

Reblogging myself because the original post is almost four years old, and with Batman Eternal just concluded, I though others in the Steph fandom might have thoughts.  Some snippets of the original post and my response:

Working alongside Bruce—for everything bad that came of it, during and after—changed that in her, I feel. In Batgirl #53, Steph has a team-up with Cass that triggers memories of what it was like to grow up with a criminal for a father. As Robin, she questions what it will take to save girls like her from the cycle of particularly violent abuse that was commonplace in Gotham—and there is no answer for her then. Ideas on choosing to fight in Gotham vs. surviving in Gotham percolated in that year abroad, and it redefined who she is when she is masked—no matter what that mask may be. When the Batgirl mantle was thrust upon her, she decided that she was going to take the Bat symbol and make it mean hope, instead of just vengeance or justice. She took an active role in being someone brighter and more visible than a bat-shaped figure for the criminals to fear.

And she’s still angry. After the initial shock and pain of betrayal wear off, Steph’s fear transmutes into burning hot anger - the kind of anger that can keep you going hiding in the library. The kind of anger that, when your attempts to bring legitimate attention to bear on evil fail, spurs you on to make your own costume and fight.  And once she’s accomplished her goal, she tries to leave. And this time, it’s not Robin who brings her back. It’s Gordon. It’s Batman. It’s a symbol. It’s Gotham.  And Steph is Batman.

throwback mondays.

Music Memories: Spice World was the first tape I've purchased with my own money (well it was Christmas money but you get the idea). I listened to it every day for a really long time. I think this is where the concept of strong, independent women was instilled in me (wayyy before Destiny's Child). There are some things that are problematic with the Spice Girls, but I think my mom was content with the idea that her daughter was listening to poppy girl music and not No Limit Records artists (but I got into that stuff later on in middle school. She had won the battle temporarily.) So I'm posting "Spice Up Your Life" because it was my favorite song by them and not to mention a half decent music video and the jump start to what would be a love/hate relationship with music.
