All My Toys: 291

Previously on All My Toys...

With urgent assistance from Batman, Dick Tracy found some helpful data that could lead to Deathstroke's killer. They also had to dodge a bullet from a mystery assailant with a snake tattoo on his arm, all before Dick Tracy raced off to meet Miss M for a date at Dixie's Diner.

Over the past year, Miss M was the odd woman out in a custody trial over Yvie with Bruce Wayne and Moth Lady garnering a 50/50 split custody arrangement. Miss M is allowed one weekend out of the month, and everyone's favorite dorkette makes the most out of each weekend, though Yvie has been requesting to shorten her stay with her mom as she does not want to be far from her dad after watching him collapse on the wedding that never was.

Following the recovery process of his aneurism and being in a coma, Bruce Wayne is unable to remember the last 10 or so years of his life. He doesn't remember being a dad to Yvie, or falling in love with Miss M, among a slew of other things. He has stepped up though to raise Yvie, and is slowly becoming aware of what he can't remember through personal accounts of people in his life.

Dear Diary,

Let's. Go. To. The-Mall. It's a full on fashion frenzy! Billy is in town and joining Glo and me at the mall to maybe buy a new look for a date tonight with Dick Tracy. I'm actually forever shocked that I am getting involved with an ex again. I should know better, but we're both a little older and wiser now. What's the harm? Also, Glo seems a little off...

All My Toys: 289

Dear Diary,

The new place is really turning out to be a gem. I'm settling in nicely. I mean as nicely as I can since my whole world has been turned upside down. But when is it not being turned upside down? I miss my daughter. For a moment we were a happy family, and then everything changed. But the new place is great. Like really great. Most of my friends have stopped by to see it. I'm spending more time with Dick Tracy, though he has been pretty busy. He's knee deep in solving a murder. Sounds pretty intense.

Following the events of the All My Toys false finale, Miss M and Bruce Wayne were set to ride off into the sunset with plans for a wedding, where they would be one big happy family with their daughter Yvie. Unknown to Miss M, the Baroness was plotting the death of the poor dork girl, and enlisted the help of Deathstroke. On the wedding day in December of 2024, the Baroness was unable to take the hit on Miss M and instead Bruce was shot seemingly by Deathstroke where he subsequently died.

Only he really didn't die. Flash forward ten years later, and a grown up Yvie embarked on an adventure to change history and save her dad. Which, she was successful in doing even though there were some hiccups. Like, no one got shot this time, but Mr. Wayne did end up suffering an aneurysm. Which caused him to fall into a coma. For like a big chunk of 2025. And upon waking up, suffered the trope as old as time: amnesia. Thus forgetting about his love for Miss M and the unique circumstances of how Yvie came into the world. Ever a standup man, one of the few billionaires to claim that title, Bruce decided to still work towards being a dad to Yvie.

A bitter custody battle brewed with Moth Lady returning to town after hearing of the trauma Yvie was put through. (At one time Miss M's soul was trapped in Moth Lady's body, Yvie was conceived during this over the top story). Since Moth Lady and Bruce Wayne were viewed as the parents in the court's eyes, Miss M was shut out of any custody arrangement losing rights to see her daughter. 

And now, this is where we find our dear dorkette. Starting over and trying to make sense of what this new world might look like. A world that is scarier than before both on a personal and global scale. What fresh new dramas will unfold? Click the link below to find out...

The Masters of the Universe Movie Trailer!

It's been a long time coming, and after so many years of false hopes and stalled starts, we finally have a new He-Man movie coming to theaters this summer! A trailer was released on January 22nd, and as a way to celebrate, I invited some friends over for a trailer preview party. Let's see what everyone thinks!

Supporting the West Family

First thing's first, check out the link below to learn more about how you can help support fellow blogger William Bruce West whose family is in need of your support. 

West Family GoFundMe

I've known Will for many years now. At one time there was a large thriving blogging community, and we all connected through our writing and love of nerdy pop culture. Will's voice was one I loved being able to read, his opinions on pop culture have faithfully been shared week after week with his West Week Ever blog. We've appeared on podcasts together. We've shared each other's work, and commented on a variety of topics. But one thing that has always stood out to me has been his love for his family. I am always a fan of seeing friends basking in love and becoming parents and just all of that good stuff. I've loved hearing his musings and seeing him continue growing and leaning into his role as a husband and dad over the years and watching his family grow. I've never met them in person, but it has been a joy to witness their lived experiences over the years.

I'm also incredibly grateful for how he has supported me. Back in 2019 I opened up about being trans. I was very nervous and knew there would be people who would want nothing to do with me. I mean for years prior I had never denied but also never confirmed I was trans, I was living stealth so to speak. But coming out was something that would either bring me closer to people or shatter years worth of relationships. At that time, Will was speaking with other members of our blogging community behind the scenes rallying support in case people wanted to be cruel towards me. I would learn this many years later, but it just shows the kind of character that Will has. 

So when I heard this news, and the need that the West family has right now, it was incredibly easy to do what I can. I also hope that you can donate as well. If not, at least sharing the Go Fund Me with others and offering encouraging words is important too. 

My heart goes out to the West family, I am sending so much love and light for Will's recovery and that his family is able to receive all the support they possibly can.

Miss M Presents: Time Heals All Wounds... Part 3

Dear Diary,

Everything can change in an instant. Just a couple days ago I was dealing with papers for my courses and dreading the anniversary of losing my dad, and now I am on the run from a telepath with my uncle and best friend, finally face to face with my mom. Who I haven't seen in like years. With my fairy godmother, who I just assumed had passed on because it had been even longer since I saw her. What does this all mean? Is it truly possible that I will be able to save my dad?
