❛❛ Everything I wanted ❜❜

@thedreamsoficarus

Al despertar le dolía absolutamente todo el cuerpo, lo que era signo de que había pasado la mejor noche de su vida probablemente. Aún así gruñó de forma pesada y se abrazo a la almohada bajo él intentando rascar unos minutos más de sueño, sin embargo su mente parecía no pensar lo mismo y rápidamente empezó a trabajar, así que dando por perdido su sueño se volteó en la cama quedando boca arriba, estirándose como una estrella de mar lo que le hizo darse cuenta de algo importante... No había nada con lo que sus brazos y piernas chocaran, lo que significaba que no había nadie en la cama con él y era era bastante distinto a como se había quedado dormido. Frunció el ceño abriendo los ojos y mirando alrededor, la habitación estaba también muchísimo más recogida de lo que recordaba. No había apenas rastro de lo sucedido la noche anterior.

Tony pensaba que su propio récord no iba a poder superarse y Steve le demostró que no era tan viejo como para no conseguir un sexto orgasmo en una noche. Y dudaba que hubieran parado allí si no fuera porque Tony se quedó completamente dormido en algún punto entre descansos. No había parte de su cuerpo que no hubiera sido tocado, besado o mordido por Steve y la idea era... Excitante en muchos sentidos. Se fue a poner de pie con esfuerzo y bastantes quejidos, dándose cuenta de que el culpable de recoger todo también le había limpiado y puesto la ropa interior, sonrió tontamente, Rogers sin duda era un estúpido. Pero al moverse se dio cuenta de otra cosa, el sonido metálico fue lo que le alertó y al llevarse la mano al pecho a la altura del reactor cogió las dos placas que colgaban de su cuello y que tampoco habían estado allí la noche anterior.

Las miro confundido por unos segundos hasta leer el nombre que ponía en estas y su mente, aún no despierta del todo no encontraba lógica a aquello, así que decidió que lo mejor era simplemente encontrar al dueño de estas. Ni siquiera se molestó en ponerse nada más encima, Friday le saludó alegremente y solo tuvo que seguir el olor a café para encontrar a Steve en la cocina, por un instante se distrajo con el café recién hecho como un zombie yendo a por este como si le hubiera cegado de pronto y una vez tuvo una taza en la mano y dio un sorbo ya volvió a ser una persona funcional. — Buenos días.

TikToker raised over $180K for elderly worker so she could pay her mortgage and finally retire

TikToker raised over $180K for elderly worker so she could pay her mortgage and finally retire

A TikTok user’s fundraising effort has garnered over $180,000. This is to help an elderly Walmart worker pay her mortgage and retire.  Devan Bonagura posted a 15-second video on TikTok in which an elderly woman was sitting alone in the Walmart break room. She was wearing a Walmart uniform with a nametag and a vest. “Life shouldn’t be this hard. I feel bad,” says the caption in Devan’s TikTok…

Okay, so this makes sense, but what’s the solution here? There has to be a system whereby we can keep shows on air, pay the people involved in making it, and make enough money whereby the platform can afford to run.

Does someone want to give me a billion dollars so I can make a nonprofit streaming service?

IVE BEEN SAYING!! EVERYONE HATES IT BECAUSE HE DOESNT FIT THE COSTUME BUT COMEON ITS UNIRONICALLY THE CUTEST MOST DAMNEST THING IVE EVER SEEN HES ACTIVELY TRYING TO BE A SYMBOL FOR BLUDHAVEN AS HE DID WITH BATMAN ON GOTHAM WHEN HE DIED

Am I the only one who unironically loves Brucewing? Specifically BECAUSE Bruce is "not a good choice" for the mantle.

Because the point here isn't taking over the mantle, or being a good successor, if someone was trying to do that (again) I think Dick would be upset. If it was someone who actually suited the mantle (like Tim for instance) he would probably feel replaced (again).

This way it's obviously just temporary, and being done to return a favor. That and the obvious awkwardness make it a sweet gesture, in a weird and very Bruce kind of way.

clutching my head im so sick and tired and suffering but i cant stop thinking of wenzhou!radiostatic please someone say they see the vision... vox as zhou zishu and alastor as wen kexing (duh. they've even got the colour scheme down) niffty as gu xiang and i havent really thought out who cao weining could be but i do think lucifer would make a really funny ye baiyi

the blue one is zhou zishu the red one is wen kexing. and zhou zishu goes by a fake name (zhou xu) as a visual

context+ screenshots of stupid quotes i think would make sense for them/my deranged feverish ramblings underneath the cut

tell me this doesnt sound like something alastor would say about vox

this one is funny because in context wen kexing is like a mass murderer and criminal but he keeps calling himself a philantrophist even though No One believes him and thats very "Alastor Altruist" of him

also very radiostatic conversation like. but this one is even funnier in context because zhou zishu is wearing a human skin mask to disguise his own face and he purposely chose an ugly one so no one would know it was him but wen kexing saw through it literally immediately

exhibit d

they're inspecting a dead body.

technically these two passages are more indicative of lucifer + alastor interactions but actually i dont think i took too many screenshots of wen kexing dissing ye baiyi so pretend its alastor thinking of lucifer

this is vox's perspective on lucifer and alastor lmfao

ive realized just now that voxs employee would make an excellent zhang chengling (he's basically wenzhous adopted son)

this is radiostatics love language

radiostatic and valentino (he'd be the boss scorpion in this case)

Lovely fan photographs of Jane Asher in New York, 1971. Jane acted in The Philantrophist from March 15th to May 15th 1971 at Ethel Barrymore Theatre. Pictures found on the web and Meet The Beatles For real blogspot. My enhancements! 🤍✨

A North American fan, Marie Lacey, wrote:

“The first I met Jane Asher was in March, 1971, when she came over to New York for a three month engagement on Broadway and starred in “The Philanthropist.” It was Jane’s second visit to New York, the first being back in 1967 when she did a five month tour with the Bristol Old Vic in “Romeo and Juliet.” Jane seemed a bit leery when she first realized the group of girls at the stage door was waiting for her, remembering how she had been occasionally threatened by jealous fans during her stay in 1967. When she saw that we had flowers for her, she broke into a relieved smile and was genuinely thrilled. And she kept saying, “for me?” She was so sweet and friendly, posing for photographs, and chatting with us as if we were old friends. Victor Spinetti was also in the play, and he delighted in telling us old Beatles stories, jokes and actually performed skits from the films! (what an ego).

We became regulars and got to know both Jane and Victor as well as could be possible. Some people came to see Victor every week, but we were really interested in getting to know Jane. Jane was beautiful and it was easy to see what Paul had seen in her and I must admit, out getting to know her made it even harder to understand what made him give her up.

One day Jane said she was going to bring us flowers, but wasn’t sure if we’d be there that day or not! It was another change in roles when Jane brought along her movie camera one day and took movies of our shocked faces (We were really creative, and managed to wave into the camera!) We were to have tea together, but the play ended earlier than had been expected and we said hurried goodbyes as Jane flew off to California to visit her brother, Peter.

Jane had told us to come visit her if we ever came to England, so in 1972, I telephoned, and her sister knew who we were, but unfortunately, Jane was on holiday to France. We saw our old pal, Victor, again in 1973, it was he who told us about Jane and Gerald Scarfe. She and Gerald had a daughter, Kate, in April 1974. I still kept contact with Jane, and heard from her at least once a year."

If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

23.) If you could send a message to yourself back on the first day of the year, what would it be?

"remember how to spell the word philantrophist, it might do you some good some day."

context: i won 2nd place in my school's spelling bee because i forgot how to spell that one specific word (listed above) and i panicked. in the end, i spelled it with only one h.

i don't know why, but out of all the mistakes i've made this year, out of all the regrettable memories i've had that are objectively far worse than this one— this one however, i regret the most. i don't even know why. it's kinda funny if you think about it. pathetic, but hilarious.

-Es posible, tu pene me gusta.- declaró, siguiéndole la broma, de alguna forma Tony sí le había hecho bisexual, porque antes de él ni se había planteado que pudiera serlo, ni había querido oír hablar al respecto, así que merecía al menos parte del mérito de haberle sacado del armario. -Entonces para mí también es solo una preferencia, no te he rogado que me soltaras.- replicó, podía haber aguantado más tiempo sin tocarle, se le hacía difícil pero lo había sobrellevado, sin embargo había sido Tony el que se había dado por vencido primero.

Le miró burlón, permaneciendo en silencio unos segundos más solo para picarle antes de contestar. -Que pienses que no tienes puntos débiles. Claro que los tienes, Tony, pero sabes que yo no soy alguien que se aproveche de ello.- dijo, palmeando su trasero con suavidad, cambiando su gesto a uno tierno, no quería que Tony dejara de sentirse cómodo con él, así que ni siquiera iba a mencionar qué eran esos puntos débiles, sabía que al otro no le gustaba mostrarlos y a él no le importaba ignorarlos.

— Ya se que tanto te gusta. — murmura con una enorme sonrisa divertida, aunque a aventuraba a pensar que le gustaba casi tanto como su trasero, se había dado cuenta últimamente que cada que estaban solos y pegados las manos ajenas bajan a este con más facilidad que nunca y Tony no le apartaba en absoluto.

—Aja, claro que si, grandullón. — dijo con tono neutro sin embargo se enderezo un poco para quedar sentado sobre él finalmente esperando la respuesta a su risa solía rqueandi más su ceja al obtenerla, dando un pequeño brinco cuando palmeó su trasero, dejando escapar un jadeo, lo que provocó sentimientos completamente opuestos a sus palabras. Se quedó unos segundos en silencio antes de inclinarse para coger una de las almohadas y darme a Steve con ella. — Cállate. Me gustas más cuando no hablas y solo gimes. — replica terminando por usar la almohada contra el pecho ajeno como soporte para volver a tumbarse sobre él sin embargo la voz de Friday les aviso de que la comida ya estaba en la puerta. Tony gruñó y rodó para volver a caer al colchón dándole a Steve con el pie. — Te toca ir a recogerla.

I was drawing Tony as usual, but for some reason his hair ended up looking like the Tiktok middle part hairstyle and I think that Marvel really missed an oportunity here, RDJ would have rocked this hairstyle, i feel like it gives a lot of “Genius, Millionaire, Playboy, Philantrophist” vibes, plus he looks kinda cute. Anyways, just some weird thoughts at 1 AM.

[nameless-brand]

Explosions still going off through the night including an elementary school. Again, no casualties. I suppose that elementary school is probably to prove to everyone that there are stakes. Many of the reported explosions involved the industrial complex; I'm not exactly sure what sort of game Riddler is playing. Do the explosions mean Batman lost? Or is it a deathtrap that Batman escaped? On the daytime broadcasts, the rare Live ones, he doesn't seem like he's losing - he's just getting more excited and smug.

In any case, people are afraid to go out, even during the day as they're concerned that the supervillain would decide that his game with Batman would be better played with the general public.

Anyway, onto Riddler's "advertisements" of people and companies who haven't paid him.

So Riddler's reveals include Ace Chemicals, which is now under investigation due to the manufacturing of Agent J2123, colloquially known as Joker gas. Ace Chemicals denies the allegations, stating that if someone were manufacturing the gas inside the company, they don't know about it - which most people are taking as admission. Their stock is tanking. I'll probably grab some once I feel public opinion is distracted by another big reveal.

Simon Stagg, the philantrophist, also is under investigation for the number of deceased animals, chimpanzees mostly, in its attempt to develop air inoculation technology. Part of the revelation from Riddler is that he's paid a good amount of money to Gotham's politicos to suppress that information. There's even a money trail. Obviously, Stagg says everything is lies, but given what's been revealed already, it's hard to believe him.

And, Gotham Zoo employees and its animals, well - the deeds probably shouldn't be repeated in a public venue.

---

Also, I'm playing damage control myself. I had recently acquired a real estate company - the ones that wrecked Chi's orphanage several years ago and forced her out onto the streets. Apparently, they've been doing some pretty shady things to the rent-controlled tenants like forcing them out with very bad conditions or loopholes in favor of people who can pay more.

Luckily, their behavior doesn't reflect on me since I barely acquired it 2-3 months ago, and I could probably twist it into good PR for me. But the fact I didn't know that the Riddler had sent me a "blackmail note" means I still have bad eggs in that real estate company, particularly the IT department or maybe the mostly-broken-up Board of Directors.

I already figured that though. That particularly company has never felt like Mine anyway. I should've gutted the entire thing from the start and replace everyone who isn't trustworthy. This really just gives me the excuse to do so.

I should actually add this: I don't care about what you guys think the millionaires do and what will do with their money or if they will find people like me "worthy" of any attention. Or that they're actually not philantrophists. I don't really have that in mind when it comes to such incidents. I just find your brand of pettiness very out of place. Like very unnerving and unfunny.
