The canon of bruce leaving gotham for his training at the age of 14... but instead of forging letters and documents to get rid of any legal guardian while maintaining the appearence of being cared for by someone (no one is sure by whom), he just. Disappears. Runs away from his guardian's house. Steals some of (his) money and leaves. He learns how to use fake id's and disguises. No one hears about him until he comes back in his twenties and says he was kidnapped by the mafia or something like that. Can you see the headlines

My Death Note hot take is that the Death Note world is actually littered with super detectives who specialize in different things and aside from like, the top five big guys with the power and status to bend entire governments to their will most of them go unknown but there is like, a dedicated fanbase to these people. It's like true crime but in reverse where people are obsessed with the detectives. And like most of them are just normal guys who just became detectives and now they have a job doing that and half of them don't even show their face and in the year of now, 2023, there's like, The Ultimate Super Detective Iceberg Part 1/9 YouTube videos and like half the lower layers are just a bunch of different Wammys Kid's old detective-sonas they used to solve cases to practice being L and every explaination is like "This guy appeared in 2001, and was active for four years and solved 30 cold cases before dissappearing off the face of the earth 🤔 where are they?" And it's like. My brother in christ that was just Mello's alt account. And like a bunch of surviving Wammys Kids see their old sonas on these icebergs and they are legally sworn to secrecy and cannot say "oh that was actually me when I was a teenager forced to train to become L, I stopped because I aged out of the syetem and was no longer held at gun point to be a detective. My true passion is bridge construction."

i think i've finally come to understand why i'm so bad at communicating with friends 👍 at one point or another i've thought i was in love with every single person i've ever been friends with (for the most part, at least) because i don't expect other people to like me. OBVIOUSLY this is not true but platonic feelings are not dissimilar to romantic ones (baseline they're the same: you want to love and be loved by someone) but i always end up realizing that i'm not in love with them, just that they matter to me very much and i wouldn't know what do to w/o their presence in my life. BUT this brings me to facet number 2 of my awful communication skills: i hate it when things Get Real. i find myself retreating any time it seems like Something Could Change in my day-to-day life due to them being around and "forcing" the change. i run away from talking to one of my only irl friends on almost a daily basis bc i dread the idea of having to do anything she might want me to do. i think, at the end of the day, my problem might just be that i don't want to change... ANYWAYS

when puzzler returned to gotham and took back control of his "business" 30+ years after his absence, there were many debates in the underground whether it was the same puzzler or not. as puzzler was a rather fit man, not softer and a bit heavier as puzzler is now. of course, that could just have come with age - people change. but the old puzzler spoke with a clear american accent, this puzzler speaks with a soft english accent - which led some who did remember puzzler, to wonder if it's even the same man. due to wearing a mask, and an outfit that completely covers his body - nobody can see puzzler, or know what his age was back then or now - except that he sounds older.
the changes add to more mystery, and even though puzzler (coughcoughedsuncleedward) is a compulsive liar and will lie or put on anything - the changes are genuine. puzzler always enjoyed eating and indulging in sweets. however, when he was still living a double life as edward boucher, a young perfectionist businessman and socialite, he always watched what he ate to keep an "idealized body image." after edward's supposed death from brain cancer, puzzler felt more liberated to not worry about that, and just began to eat whatever he wants whenever he wants. he ran away with his future husband to england to live a different life. which, living there for 30+ years, he had picked up the accent a little bit.
after his husband was stricken with a terminal illness (he was 25 years older than edward) and edward knew the police had cut all ties of edward boucher to the puzzler, since edward's been long "dead" - puzzler returned to gotham to start a new game.
