"I'm Oracle. I know everybody."
The information broker and easily one of the Bat-Family's best!
Note: This image contains many of her details, but this portrayal is also in her mid-30s & I'm choosing to alter the bit about Dick; close friends, but not intimate.

//Anyone have "DC censoring their adult Harley Quinn Show to remove a scene where Bruce Wayne eats out Catwoman" on their bingo card? Cause I sure as fuck didn't.
//Barbara being "as important as Batgirl as she was as Oracle" is a comically inaccurate take made by people blinded by the New 52 and beyond or ignorant to just how little she did in the cowl.
In two collections, you can read ALL of Babs' pre-Oracle Batgirl stuff, with such +
A perfect answer to the question of 'why don't I become Batgirl again?'.
//Panels come from the amazing Shadow Of The Batgirl. Seriously, go read this if you like Cassandra Cain and Oracle.
//So after some reflection tonight, I've decided to come out today.
I'm a trans woman. I do want to transition in the next 5-10 years. My pronouns are she/they.
Just wanted to tell you guys of this big moment in my life.
//The way I see it, I love the suit design. I would see this as Batgirl's suit before she gets Batman'D if that makes sense. Not keen on her being Batgirl after Oracle, which is not something I agree with Tom on. But if this was Batgirl at 18-21 before she got working with +

@OfBirdsAndBats
I'm actually curious about your opinions on the Batgirl discourse.
I would DEFINITELY prefer Babs as Oracle, but I do like the new design they gave her.
I'm also not particularly happy about people attacking Tom Taylor for an executive decision he didn't make.))
//Ladies, gentlemen, nonbinaries, I have some news for you all.
I will not be as active on all roleplay accounts ok weekdays starting on May 2nd. Why?
BECAUSE I HAVE A JOB AGAIN! :D
Furthermore, Babs wasn't even the first Batgirl to get a proper solo ongoing. That honour goes to Cassandra Cain. Her solo ran for over 75 issues, and requires at least 3 omnibus style collections as opposed to Babs having her entirety in two. The only reason Babs is even +
Apparently some people think muscular women are not women, and are not worth dating.
Three words for those folks.
Kiss my abs.

@zatanna1985
was amazing on this commission of Babs I bought from them today! This is a look that says "Yeah. I'm drop dead gorgeous." And I love it!
Alright everyone. Santa Babs is ready to deliver presents.
Like this and I will do my best to get to you. If I don't get to you immediately, I apologize. Now, Santa time!
//Okay folks, question.
When it comes to Oracle, do you prefer the holographic or physical setups?
Me personally, I prefer a blend of the two, with the holodeck style training room she built and lots of physical systems, but I am curious as to your preferences.
//Hey all. Ever since the hack on my discord and some time to reflect while being sick, I've decided to make the difficult decision to put this account on hiatus.
I'm doing too much. And I need to stop or I will end up dead. That's not an exaggeration.
So I'll see you all soon
Development as Oracle, which reminds me. Why are you people cheering for:
A Justice League lynchpin
Founder of the Birds of Prey
Dieect mentor of half a dozen heroes
The single most premier info broker in the hero community
And key component in Final Crisis
To "develop" into:
MISSING: Barbara Joan Gordon
Last seen driving away from work. Was not home when Cassandra Cain came. Cassandra filed rhe missing persons report.
But somewhere, within amusement Mile, a blue Prius began to pull up...
COMING FEBRUARY 7TH: THE RETURN OF SCULLY
A whiny brat with little way of heroic talent (Burnside)
A shell of her former, fearless self (New 52)
Nightwing's Main Squeeze: The Character (Modern Nightwing)
A toothless "teacher" (Batgirls)
And overall a weaker, more pathetic character? Are ableist misconceptions that +
Significant plots as "fighting Killer Moth for the millionth time" and "becoming a snake woman for an issue". The big stuff that happened to her before the Killing Joke involved her RETIRING to be a congresswoman. That and a speech about Supergirl's death in Infinite Crisis. +
"Time to show that poor bitch what she's been missing."
Scully, a new and highly dangerous personality formed after months of abuse by Joker [
@thisjokerisreal
], has taken over Barbara! This will be a week long event as per usual, so get your interacts in while you can!
Any other developments for Babsgirl from before 2011 (Year One, snippets from Harley Quinn, specials) all involve time travel, flashbacks or Zero Hour. Barbara was so unimportant in her Batgirl suit as opposed to Oracle that over half her characterization came post Killing Joke.+
//Now, admittedly I'm still /extremely/ nervous about this, since DC Editorial can just fuck things up.
But THANK FUCK THEY ARE ACTUALLY TREATING THE CHIP AS A MOBILITY AID AND NOT A CATCH-ALL TO IGNORE HER DISABILITY.
TAKE NOTES TOMMY.
Still not my thing but I:m just glad +
this makes me SO happy.
honestly I think this is the best result we could’ve asked for in terms of Babs and disability representation. It’s not retconning the last 10 years, but it’s also not ignoring her disability either. Thank you

//Couldn't sleep, and I saw what today was, so I started writing.
And writing.
And now, it's done. My solo about a family suffering the loss of a mother on Mother's day.
Please enjoy, and love your maternal figure.
New sweater? Check.
New mug from Cass? Check.
New stickers? Check times 6.
Added the mask lights myself beforehand, just never turned them on.
Oh, and Star Trek and rainbow shoes for the win.

Yikes. It's wild. Goofy and Donald have dense, rich lore spanning decades and mediums.
And yet the face of the company is an empty goody two shoes who's character development is limited to certain circumstances.
Friends, family and more, there's some news afoot!
Babs's birthday is coming up!
She'll be turning 36 on the 23rd, and she will likely be hosting a small party for family (bat and otherwise) on that day! Stay tuned and if you have presents, don't be afraid to give them! +
She looks at her systems, feeling that itch to bury herself in her work.
But... after Joker, there has been cause for concern. Was she addicted to her work?
God she needed a therapist.
