Uncle Vlad

So! Vlad Masters, Maddie Walker, and Jack Fenton were a group of friends that studied together at Gotham University. They all studied the Effects of Ectoplasm of the world around them, from how it affected Space-time to how it affected the Flora of the world.

But they had another friend, one who was interested on how Ectoplasm affected Human Beings before they died, rather than after. He was a Med Student, and he wanted to see if there were any Medicinal applications to Ectoplasm.

His name was Thomas Wayne.

Thomas was actually great friends with the Trio, and eventually they became a Quartet. He was just as crazy as them, although he hid it better, and he loved to get into stupid shenanigans with them.

Unfortunately that all came to an end when Vlad got was put in the Hospital by a Lab Accident. He refused to see any of them, but Thomas managed to convince him to let him study how the Ectoplasm was affecting his Body to hopefully find a Cure. He was the most skilled Ecto-Biologist they had after all.

Thomas never managed to find a Cure, but he did manage to maintain his friendship with Vlad, even after Jack and Maddie got married and moved away to Illinois. He felt bad that their friend group fell apart like that, but with all their lives changing it was inevitable. Thomas himself was planning on proposing to his girlfriend Martha soon.

When Vlad moved away to Wisconsin after recovering from his Accident, he stayed in contact with Thomas as thanks for all the help he gave in trying to find a Cure. Unlike Jack and Maddie who moved away without even trying to say goodbye, Thomas stuck around and stayed his friend.

He even became the Godfather to his son, Bruce. He later got a Letter from Jack and Maddie naming him the Godfather of their own son, Daniel, but he didn't really care as much. Bruce was an adorable little boy, and incredibly intelligent, he got that from his Father obviously.

Or course, then That Day happened. Thomas and his wife were Shot by a mugger and poor Bruce was left without his parents. Vlad tried to take him in, but was rejected on the grounds that he was still "Too frail to get out of his House".

He stayed in Contact with Bruce, but it became harder as time went on. From both the revelation that Daniel Fenton was a Halfa like him, and the fact that Bruce was traveling so much, he didn't have much of a chance to contact him. He needed to split his attention, and Daniel took a lot more than expected.

He hoped Bruce would stay a good kid, Daniel gave him too many headaches already.

...

A few years later, Bruce Wayne became the Batman.

This is the only social media where I'm completely alone without anyone whom I personally know being here. This feels great!!!!!! Like I can be soooo off-guard rn without feeling guilty about it! Like I can scream all the chaos out of my system! I feel like Spock unleashing his emotions inside a room with padded walls!

aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAHGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. Feeling better now.

Thanks.

The Jupiter 2 encounters the U.S.S. Enterprise.

In a similar vein of my previous post, I wonder if Jim felt a little resentful of Robert April/Enterprise/Starfleet getting to Tarsus too late, and that a part of all his efforts and his refusal of "no win" scenarios was to do better than starfleet. Perhaps a duality between anger and gratefulness at being saved, but having to see so many around him die and suffer.

Makes me wonder, in general, of Jim's possibly pathological guilt when he can't save someone. Why he looked depressed when turned admiral because while being supposedly in a position of power, he actually couldn't do anything. It's all paperwork and no work. Constantly having that urge to follow a disaster but not being allowed. The same reason Jim always seems to jump to his death, but succeeds and lives anyway. (And of course the added loss of his soulmate who ran away from their friendship didn't help)

And while I sort of kind of really dislike lots of the movies past tmp (as star trek canon, they're fun movies), I'm wondering if that's part of what drives Jim to his death later. He's getting old, and slowly being incapable of helping those around him. For a man who can't sit still, who needs to help people, it's a bit like losing himself. So dying in battle is far preferred for a man who could never completely work through his traumas.

My friend introduced me to the YouTube web series Alienstage (a pretty interesting set of music videos btw, even though I feel like I’m missing lots of lore)

and who do I see in the background of one of the frames?

Enterprising Scallywag by Denman Rooke

i think monarchy and aristocracy should be nationalized like the parks system. the "good" aristocrats have already done this with their land voluntarily, like the current Lord Dunsany has aggressively rewilded his land and, iirc, made it accessible to the public as a park. i also think they should be installed in their castles etc as live-in caretakers with a reasonable wage and the houses open to the public as museums and art collections (with everything that's been plundered returned to the country of origin, but this leaves a lot of English art and treasure that should be housed and maintained and accessible to the people). make them into decorative hermits who putter around in tweeds, and retain the staff of the houses with enough people to care for the building and contents. they have a skillset and it can be used for the common good. as much of a hard ass as i am i don't actually want to firing squad most of these people, and i think art and architecture has innate value to the proletariat. Norway has a little flag that goes up at the castle when the king is "home", i think that's cute
