Stephanie Brown:

Is poor

Has an abusive dad who was also a supervillain and that led to her becoming a superhero to spoil his plans but she focused a lot on helping out other less fortunate people in addition to fighting crime

Did badly often in school despite her extreme intellegence

Has anger issues and violent tendencies that manifest in her getting extra brutal in fights and being lowkey mean in general but she almost entierly directs it to people who deserve it

Is emotionally intense with ways of showing friendship that her classmates found offputting and that led to her being isolated from them and having almost no friends

Listens to Metallica

Took Tim Drake on a date to a shitty basement party with a bunch of alt teens

Was willing to kill at 14,including her own dad and only changed that because Bruce Wayne convinced her too

Loved Cassandra Cain romantically in a gritty dark future Batman run,has been Batwoman in two which is a mantle that has been held exclusively by a Kate Kane who is a butch lesbian and has shown multiple hints of being bi in the main timelines

Yelled and screamed at and even assaulted grown ass adults in her teen years for treating her badly with no fear and this stays into her adulthood

Grew up to be a Team Mom by at least her Batgirl days and the targets of her mothering were a biracial boy(Damian Wayne),two darkskin black girls(Nell Little and Tiffany Fox),a japanese girl(Maps Mizoguchi)and MANY other unnamed kids we see her being implied to care for

Presents super femininely but in a way that most guys in-universe find bad instead of attractive and she dosen't care about this because she dosen't want normies

Is a literature nerd,an artist,a gamer,a pianist AND a gymnist

Makes her own superhero gear

Uses optimism for a better world and trauma fueled spite as her motivation for heroism

Got treated like shit by almost everyone as a kid but we see this explicitly in her hero days with how much Bruce puts her down because she wasn't good enough for him

Does activism even outside of hero work

Is canonically pastel punk and accidentally autistic-coded and genuinely a real weirdgirl,not a fucking 'basic white girl' or a queen bee just because she's blonde and blue eyed and it's worth noting she's also been described as flat-chested as a jab but it not working because she loves her looks perfectly and that she's never shown any particular liking for being blonde and seeing as she got her hair from her dad,this is completely valid

She's Stephanie Brown,not Stacie White.Stop.Making.Her.Only.Trait.Her.Gender.Babygirl deserves better

I was gonna make a post about how i wish the DC fandom would say Stephanie has a thing for mean but kind goths because of Tim and Cass(and also because i relate so much to her already so that would only add to it)like how they do with Dick having a thing for redheads because of Kory,Roy,Babs and Wally with my reasoning being that there actually is as much good writing and evidence for Stephcass as there is for Timsteph in the comics unlike with D/B and D/W but then i remembered Jason exists so he'd definitely get shoved into it and now ion wanna.Can't have shit in Gotham

The Hair at Marc Jacobs's Spring 2019 Show Was Inspired by Barbra Streisand (and Eggs)

Each season, the beauty look at the Marc Jacobs show is easily one of the most anticipated. Sometimes, it's noteworthy for not-so-great reasons; but more often, it's a triumphant display of what imaginative, transportive runway hair and makeup can be. For the designer's Spring 2019 show on Wednesday, the latter was certainly the case. This beauty look had everything: vintage inspiration, pastel hair dye, buzz cuts, egg-shaped chignons (more on what, exactly, that means in a moment), up-to-the-brows eye shadow and so on.

The most striking aspect of the look was the hair, which, for many of the models, necessitated leap-of-faith makeovers. Last season, nine models chopped and dyed their hair into dramatic bowl cuts in punk-y hues for the Marc Jacobs runway. It was impressive, to say the least. But compare that to this season's look, and that number seems paltry: Hairstylist Guido and colorist Josh Wood (both for Redken) buzzed nine models' heads; chopped the strands of 15 or so more into extreme, graduated bobs and dyed roughly 37 models' hair into a range of shades, spanning faded pastels, inky dark tones, bleached-out platinums and vibrant reds.

"Every single girl has a different color — no two are the same," said Wood of the dye jobs in a pre-show interview. "There are silver-greens and there are aqua-blues and there are paper-whites and there are these really intense reds, and each one within those groups has individuality to it." The colorist, who had been working to prep models for three days before the show, was on hand backstage to continue perfecting the tones, in some cases still making adjustments mere hours before the show. 

"This is the biggest color project that I've ever worked on, so it's a very proud moment for me," he said, crediting the models' own enthusiasm and willingness to take risks with their hair for the breadth and diversity of the looks. But the vision, of course, came from Jacobs himself: "Marc signed [off on] every single color," noted Wood, who said the designer wanted the hair colors to "have history and look vintage," in some ways making them "the anti-unicorn hair."

Even for Guido, who has routinely transformed models via major chops in seasons past — most consistently giving a slew of them game-changing makeovers ahead of the Alexander Wang show — this show was quite the undertaking. "I'm always surprised how many girls [are willing to cut or color their hair]," he said, going on to describe the styles for the Marc Jacobs show as "quite complex... in their simplicity."

Aside from the models with buzz cuts, the rest of the lineup — whether they got bob haircuts or not — had their hair carefully coiffed into elongated, "egg"-like shapes. "We call it the 'egg' because it's that shape, it all goes up. It's a very flattering shape, actually, that high crown that draws the face up with it," said Guido. "That shape really came from the Egyptians, it was always very elongated at the crown." But the not-quite-Conehead-silhouette drew its main inspiration from the no-hair-out-of-place styles from the 1960's.

"It's a nod to a lot of iconic women Marc really likes, like Barbra Streisand, Lee Radziwill, the '60s women that were very 'done' and very 'salon,'" explained Guido. For the models with longer hair, the stylists used Redken Guts 10 Volumizng Spray Mousse, as well as actual foam fabric, to build up an internal structure at the crown of the head, and then added in additional hair pieces to lend the length necessary for the chignon-ponytail hybrid.

The makeup, while less dramatic than the hair, was just as varied, with Diane Kendal (for Marc Jacobs Beauty) and her team drawing from an array of 20-plus different loose pigments to create individualized eye-makeup looks for each model. "[Marc] showed us lots of old pictures, [magazine] covers from the '50s," said Kendal of the vision board for the makeup. "But doing it just kind of one wash, very sheer up to the brow, gives it more of a modern feel. Although it gives a hint to the '50s, we didn't want to take it too literally."

That inspiration translated to a real focus on the eyes, rimming them with black or brown shades of Marc Jacobs Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon Eyeliner (depending on the model's own coloring), coating lashes with the brand's Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara and then prepping lids with the same foundation used to even out their complexions (Shameless Youthful-Look 24-H Foundation) before layering on the tonal loose pigment. Kendal skipped blush and any sort of lip color that would draw focus from the eyes, instead using a sheer gloss for a bit of shine.

With all of that going on, the backstage beauty team harbored no illusions that this fantastical look would become a wearable, real-life trend: "I know you girls always ask me how do you do this at home," said Guido to the group of beauty editors quizzing him on the look backstage. "Well, you don't," he laughed. "But that's not to say it's not relevant, because what we're nodding to is the idea of more of a finish, an idea about dreamlike qualities, fantasy in fashion, which is so important for everyone — to dream and to have a fantasy."

Jason Todd got screwed over by his writers because they gave him incredibly poor characterization that nowhere near did his character justice and plots and relathionships that didn't work for him.Stephanie Brown got screwed over by her writers because they made a bunch of other characters treat her like shit for no reason with almost none of them getting consequences.Please learn the difference and stop acting like Jason's been anything but coddled in-universe despite being an incredibly cruel person and like Stephanie's not the one who was used as the DC universe purple punching bag even though she does nothing but spread fun and kindness

If anybody's the token normal Batkid and the sanest one,it's Tim-Dick was a circus kid who watched his parents plumet to their deaths and has literally almost 100 years of crazy ass shenanigans,Jason grew up on the streets after his mom died of overdose and his dad got sent to jail and then he got murdered and ressurected at 15 and is the token evil Batkid,Stephanie is the daughter of an abusive dad and a drug addict mom who became a vigilante at 13 to be a hero to other poor people and has been a pastel punk just as long and held the Robin Batgirl Nightwing AND Batwoman mantles,Cass' mom is motherfuckin' LADY SHIVA and her dad trained her to kill but not to talk or any other social things technically including the concept of gender,Duke is a demigod who's 'birth' dad was actually his adoptive one and his parents got jokerised so he joined a Robins gang and even before that he was a troubled kid who was kicked out of multiple schools,Damian was raised in a cult and linkend to a demon in skill and is obsessed with animals and then there's Tim.His mom died when he was little,his dad's a rich jerk,he's a lifelong Nightwing fanboy and that's it for his entire backstory.It's not that he's boring but he's pretty ordinary compared to the rest-Duke probably takes the prize for weirdest Batkid on meta status alone but even then it's an INCH cause they all freaks-Tim's regular teenage boy freaky but the other bats is FREAK FREAKS

Y'know what i just realized?The Batkids actually DO have good relathionships with eachother,Tim and Jason just fucking hate eachother and Cass didn't get retconned into Jason's lapdog like Roy did and those literal TWO exceptions are enough for the fandom to pretend they don't at all because of their white boy and 'woc only matter in relation to my white faves' brainrot lmao

Inspired by my fellow Stephanie kinnie @franollie LMFAO

Unironically i don't think you can be a Jason Todd stan if you're not also a Stephanie Brown and Duke Thomas stan.Your opinions on Tim Drake are irrelevant because he also thinks he's irrelevant,Stephanie and Duke are literally the closest thing Jason has to a Batgirl and Robin in canon

If you're a Pjo fan who wants to get into DC and read for a Percy-esque hero specifically,then look not for male heroes but no further than Stephanie Brown!

Is this not Percy Jackson but purple flavored?@/jlquarterly has a complete reading list for her and you can find the list of parallels between Perce and Steph in my 'Percysteph' tag that functions as both platonic and romantic🙏🏼

"But Tim Drake's middle name is literally Jackson and he's a skater boy-"Nobody cares babygirl <3 Skater boy is not a personality trait or an aesthetic and Stephanie's good but troubled kid turned punk Team Parent slay is canon Percy behavior,cope!!!

ENOUGH of romances where a super cool edgelord is in love with a cutesy soft goofball and bullies them 'because they like them',the ONLY acceptable dynamic for those kinds of characters as shipping is this

When solo Batstans say they're willing to look past Bruce's consistant and prevelant history of being an absolute dogshit parent to be a Wayne kid so they'll be rich and famous,all i'm hearing is that y'all would rather be abused than be poor.We're GETTING that revolution but they certainly won't help us get closer

Cannot stop watching this.Most canon 14 seconds of DC i've watched in my life over and over again.Sners how do you never miss(THIS IS AFROLATINAORIHIME FROM TIKTOK BTW NOT A RANDO TALKING LIKE THEY ALREADY KNOW YOU-)

.......This made me think of Duke and Stephanie because of the hat colors but the caption fits too,omg-

Does this comics!Ghostpunk panel look like Robin and Batgirl!Stephcass to anyone else?

^For reference

@moonage-gaydream

I don't think all these simp writers are going all out like they should because well i always see them talking about loving unhinged as fuck goths who have a mean surface with hidden softness and goofy balls of sunshine that're actually huge badasses and have secret trauma and being horny over them but they never talk about Steph and Cass from Batman despite like 65% of the fan content being x Readers so if you're a self-proclaimed slut then listen to the voice of god and make good on your word.Fuck Stephanie Brown and Cassandra Cain
