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)

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.

Empezó a darse cuenta de que muchas veces cuando se incorporaba tras recoger un bulto del suelo Tony parecía estar a punto de salivar y con la mirada aún en él, puede que aún fuera muy inocente para algunas cosas pero podía darse cuenta de que el otro había estado mirándole el trasero. No dijo nada al respecto ni en una sola ocasión, limitándose a sonreír totalmente divertido con la situación, a él también le distraía la presencia ajena, aunque al menos él no necesitaba concentrarse en lo que hacía, mover trastos no era algo que requiriera pensar demasiado.

Pero sí que le era difícil dejar de mirarle, más aún cuando se puso a bailar, sus movimientos le parecían casi hipnóticos, quería acercarse a él y no volverse a separar, pero eso impediría que ninguno de los dos siguiera trabajando, así que se obligó a permanecer donde estaba. -No sé cómo tienes hoy tanta energía, ni cómo no te duele todo el cuerpo cada vez que te mueves.- bromeó, refiriéndose claramente a que esperaba encontrarle mucho más dolorido después de tanta actividad nocturna.

Al escuchar las palabras ajenas alzó la vista de su holograma, sonriendo de lado. — Soy resistente a las inconveniencias físicas y además alguien estuvo anoche follándome tan bien que incluso llegué a olvidar mi nombre por unos instantes así que si, tengo buen humor. — dice con una sonrisa socarrona sin apartar en absoluto la mirada de él porque sabe que cuando era especialmente directo con el sexo Steve solía alarmarse o avergonzarse y aunque mucho de eso había ido cambiando conforme había avanzado su relación sabía que al menos algo sí le afectaría escucharle hablar así y era uno de los muchos pequeños placeres de su vida provocar micro-reacciones en Steve.

Sin embargo apenas unos minutos después la voz de Friday le hizo desconcentrarse de nuevo. — Señor, la señorita Pots está en la puerta, no parece muy contenta. — Tony paro de golpe la musica, frunciendo el ceño con confusión. — ¿Que hace aquí? Hoy no había reunión. — réplica sin embargo la siempre paciente Friday respondió rápidamente a sus dudas. — Hoy es miércoles trece, señor, la reunión estaba programada para las doce, son las doce y media. — Tony revisó la hora y el día en su pantalla y maldijo en voz alta — Mierda, hazla pasar, dila que ya subo. — dijo rápidamente cerrando los hologramas y encaminándose hacia fuera del taller sin pensar siguiera en ello,

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."

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.

I   stand   in   line   to   get   coffee,   seeing   the   person   in   front   of   me   reading   an   article   about   the   elusive   Bruce   Wayne,   about   all   the   philantrophist   work   he's   done   and   how   rich   he   is.   I,   of   course,   always   hate   when   the   press   does   articles   like   this   about   me,   and   am   glad   they   always   leave   my   pictures   out   of   the   papers.   I   don't   want   my   face   plastered   throughout   the   city,   or   any   other   city.   ❝   I   heard   he's   an   ass.   All   of   his   employees   hate   working   for   him.   ❞   I   say   to   the   person   in   front   of   me   trying   to   make   small   talk   while   we   wait   to   place   our   coffee   orders.
