Isadora expected things to get messy when Brooke reached out to meet with her but, the guilt radiating from the other side of the table is terrifying. There's something else I have to tell you, first. And it might make you change your mind about you inviting me to come with you. As an overthinker, her mind races around several different scenarios that her best friend could have done to continue stabbing her in the back. She doesn't want to hate Brooke, they connected on levels she never knew existed. She was her twin flame - her sister; the Mary-Kate to her Ashley and the Tia to her Tamera. Which is why Brooke could tell her she fucked Volchok and although it would break her heart to a million little pieces, she would still find a way to forgive her.
Lucky for her and her fragile little heart, the incident doesn't compare to the agony she would have felt if Brooke was actually having an affair with her ex-boyfriend. "Give me your hand." Isadora reaches across the table and holds onto her. Even before touching her, she knew her best friend was shaking. It's obvious to her that Brooke's had a really bad run of horrible luck with the people in her life. From high school onward, she's been put through the ringer and betrayed by everyone - including the love of her life. There's no way Isadora's going to sit here judging her when she knows if the tables were reversed, she would have made the same mistakes.
"Brooke..." She stands up and maneuvers her way out of the booth. It might have looked like she had enough and was leaving but, on the contrary, she was coming around the table to sit closer. "Sending a dirty video? That's my specialty, girl. I've done it so many times. You don't have anything to feel ashamed of. Does it suck that Seth is such a prick? Yes. But I'm done blaming you for getting caught up in my brother's charm." She releases a soft, calming breath as her fingers toy with the fabric of Brooke's sleeve. "Let me tell you something that I need you to fully listen to and accept...okay? I was never mad that you had a thing with my brother. When Seth wants to be, he's a great guy. One of the best. I love him so much. And I love you so much. If you guys wanted to have fun, that won't upset me. I just hate being lied to. You're my best friend and he's my brother. I know that makes you feel less inclined to tell me things but, you can. It won't gross me out or hurt my feelings. I want you both to be happy."
As for Tyler and the sex tape...Isadora's at a loss. They could try to steal Tyler's phone before they leave but knowing him he probably backs everything up. What self-respecting tech-nerd wouldn't? "The only advice I can give you about the video is, who cares? You're hot as fuck. I've had pictures and videos get out. The only people who care are the ones who're jealous because its not them in the video with you. Guys call girls whores when they can't fuck them - or when they know someone else gets to. Girls call other girls sluts when they can't be them. If given the chance and had our bodies and our options, they would be doing the same fucking thing. You're a goddamn goddess, babe. So it doesn't matter who sees it. One day we'll do a spread for Playboy together and tell them to suck our clits. How's that sound? And in the meantime...keep your eyes open. Top Chef is on his way over. I'm gonna pee!"
Tumblr media
Max brushes shoulders with Isadora on his way to their both. "Hey, how was the food?" He's not the best with small talk but, he wanted to catch her before she left. This is his last week at the Diner before he takes his culinary skills to the Rosewood Hotel. Depressed or not, Brooke's still an eye-catcher. He couldn't take his eyes off her and knows she's been eyefucking him right back. "I'm not usually this forward but this is my last week here and I would regret not asking you for your number. I can't get fired anymore so I can come right out and say it...I would love to take you out."
Tumblr media
Brooke couldn't agree more with how Isadora viewed it because frankly, she felt the same way. They weren't into each other like that. Sure, they could appreciate each other's beauty, cherish one another's hearts and still remain best friends. People have meaningless hook ups all the time. It doesn't mean they want to run off, get married and start a life together afterwards. Isadora was like a vibrator that doubled as a best friend. She listened to her, offered advice, was there when Brooke needed her most. It's not as shameful as Volchok had evidently make it sound.
So once again, fuck him for that.
"Really?" At the offer to accompany Isadora home, Brooke perks up for the first time in over the span of a week. The thought of exploring her best friend's hometown, reclaiming her stomping grounds and getting drunk while doing it sounds amazing right now. Brooke couldn't think of anything more fun.
( Besides, fucking the cook - who she couldn't help notice was hot and older. Her two favorite things to look for in the opposite sex. And who had been eyefucking her back for the past thirty minutes. )
Which come to think of it - forced a dawning realization on her. "There's just one major problem." And once again, it's all Brooke's fault. They might've called a truce but, they hadn't really addressed the elephant in the room. The reason they stopped communicating and hanging out in the first place. Seth. Brooke had yet to tell Isadora she ran into him at the Halloween party and he extended a similar offer to her. Was he going to be there as well? Would it be awkward living in his family's mansion alongside his younger sister while continuing to shoot down his advances not only because her heart was still broke but for the sake of her best friend's feelings?
"There's something else I have to tell you, first. And it might make you change your mind about you inviting me to come with you. Which, I'll understand." And, of course, she would respect.
"I ran into Seth at the Halloween party. He wanted me to sneak with him out the back and have sex in his car. I told him no because I was there with Tyler and I wasn't interested." There's a deep breath before Brooke forces herself to continue. "Then he asked me to come to Peachtree with him. Get to know him outside of this bubble we're all in." Though, once again... "I said no. He ended up leaving the party and went home, I guess." Granted, the story doesn't really end there.
"Later that night, Tyler was driving me home and the subject came up. He could tell I seemed off after the interaction and I ended up telling him what happened." Then, she made the second biggest mistake of her life. "We ended up pulling over and he convinced me to make another sex tape with him. In the heat of the moment, I was still so mad at Seth for lying to me about being engaged and for screwing my mom that I sorta...." Brooke closed her eyes and flinched as if bracing herself for the impact of Isadora's reaction, "....sent the tape to him?" There. She said it. And my god, did it feel good to get it off her chest.
"I'm SO sorry Is, I know it's fucked up. I actually regret doing it now because Tyler still has a copy and I don't trust he won't use it against me if or when he's feeling vindictive again. I mean, clearly he never gave a shit about me to begin with so who knows where it's at now. Seth didn't seem mad, though. But, I don't know? I get it, if it may be awkward for you or you'd rather I not come and make your life even more of a mess. I am sorry, though. For everything. I never wanted my relationship with him to get in between OUR friendship. It means so much to me, I realized. You're the only person I have left that I still want around and I miss so much. And I never want to lose you again."

Batman is back with a vengeance. Three years after HBO Max and Cartoon Network first announced Batman: Caped Crusader — the adult-oriented animated series that was eventually canceled by the since-renamed Max streaming service, only to then be picked up at Prime Video — the new Batman TV show is about to hit the small screen. Set in 1940s Gotham City, Caped Crusader is described as "a reimagining of the Batman mythology through the visionary lens" of executive producers Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series and Batman Beyond), Matt Reeves (The Batman and The Penguin), and J.J. Abrams (Alias and Lost).
"We are beyond excited to be working together to bring this character back, to tell engrossing new stories in Gotham City," Timm, Reeves, and Abrams said when announcing the series in 2021. "The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman's noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters. We cannot wait to share this new world."
Below, ComicBook is shining the Bat-Signal on everything we know so far about Batman: Caped Crusader, including the voice cast, release date, and the rogues who will populate the first solo Batman animated series in more than a decade.
Tumblr media
Where Can I Watch Batman: Caped Crusader?
To watch Batman: Caped Crusader on Amazon's Prime Video, you'll need either a Prime Video subscription ($8.99 per month with ads, or $11.98/mo for ad-free) or an Amazon Prime membership ($14.99 per month with Prime Video ads, or $17.98/mo with ad-free Prime Video).
Batman: Caped Crusader Release Date
All episodes of Batman: Caped Crusader will premiere Thursday, August 1st, on Amazon Prime Video.
How Many Episodes Is Batman: Caped Crusader?
Batman: Caped Crusader season 1 consists of 10 episodes. In 2023, Prime Video announced a two-season order for the new series.
What Is Batman: Caped Crusader About?
The official description: "Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human — the Batman. His one-man crusade attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications."
Tumblr media
Who Voices Batman in the Batman: Caped Crusader Cast?
The Batman: Caped Crusader voice cast includes Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) in the title role as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets) as Catwoman/Selina Kyle, Jamie Chung (Gotham) as Harley Quinn/Dr. Harleen Quinzel, and Diedrich Bader — a DC veteran whose credits include episodes of Batman Beyond, 2006's The Batman, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and the Max adult animated series Harley Quinn — as Two-Face/Harvey Dent.
Announced cast members in as-yet-unrevealed roles include Mckenna Grace (Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire), Toby Stephens (Percy Jackson and the Olympians), Reid Scott (Venom), Dan Donohue (For All Mankind), Gary Anthony Williams (Hailey's on It!), Jason Watkins (The Crown), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Krystal Joy Brown (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power), Michelle C. Bonilla (9-1-1: Lone Star), Eric Morgan Stuart (Fallout 4), Tom Kenny (SpongeBob SquarePants), and Minnie Driver (The Witcher: Blood Origin).
Batman: Caped Crusader Villains
A cast announcement video revealed Linklater's Batman voice and the Dark Knight's rogue's gallery: The Penguin, Catwoman, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, the pyromaniac Firebug, Natalia Knight (in the comics, a reformed career criminal with photosensitive skin known as Nocturna, the mistress of the night), the phantom criminal called Gentleman Ghost, and Clayface (the Golden Age Clayface of the 1940s was Basil Karlo, a once-famous character actor and makeup expert turned costumed killer). Caped Crusader reimagines Dr. Harleen Quinzel as Asian American — and Bruce Wayne's psychologist. Here, her alter-ego as the jester-costumed Harley Quinn is independent from the Joker, who is noticeably absent from the roundup of Batman characters.
Tumblr media
Batman: Caped Crusader Characters
Batman – A cold, remorseless avenger of evil, seemingly more machine than man. Forged in the fire of tragedy, every fiber of his being is dedicated to the eradication of crime. (The Batman suit is influenced by the character's earliest appearances in Detective Comics, by creators Bob Kane and Bill Finger, with longer, narrow ears, a collared cape, and with black gloves rather than the original purple.)
Bruce Wayne - To the public at large, Bruce Wayne is a shallow dilettante, apparently wasting his parents' vast fortune on frivolous pursuits and hedonistic pleasures. In fact, he's an elaborate facade, carefully constructed to divert attention from his activities as Batman.
Selina Kyle / "Catwoman" – Selena Kyle is a blithe and pampered heiress whose family lost their fortune after her father was imprisoned for embezzlement. Despite having the silver spoon yanked from her mouth, Selina refuses to quit living in the lap of luxury and becomes Catwoman as a "fun" way to maintain her lavish lifestyle.
Dr. Harleen Quinzel / "Harley Quinn" – Despite a personable and bubbly demeanor, Dr. Harleen Quinzel is a brilliant psychiatrist who treats some of Gotham's elite. However, as Harley Quinn, she is a different person, entirely. A creepy, quiet, calculating menace who secretly dispenses her twisted justice to the truly despicable among her elite clientele.
Commissioner Jim Gordon – Former beat cop close to retirement, Gordon was hired to play along with the corrupt system and run out the clock till he can draw a pension. But they've sorely underestimated Jim Gordon. His unassailable character brings him into conflict with dirty cops and crooked politicians, alike. Not to mention, he has to reckon with a deranged vigilante beating up Gotham's criminals.
Clayface – Thanks to his "unique" facial features, screen actor Basil Karlo has been forever typecast as a B-movie heavy. Frustrated by the limitations his appearance put on both his career and personal life (he fell hopelessly in love with his co-star), Karlo turned to an experimental serum that promised to change his face. However, not only does this serum ultimately disfigure his face, but it ruptures the last of his sanity – creating the tragic, vengeance seeking villain, Clayface.
Tumblr media
Batman: Caped Crusader Creators
Batman: Caped Crusader comes from Warner Bros. Animation (My Adventures with Superman, Bat-Family), Abrams' Bad Robot Productions (Lovecraft Country, the Star Trek films) and Reeves' 6th & Idaho (2022's The Batman, The Batman – Part II).

9/1/2024: Please have an official introduction to our lovely ex-Wives. Who are all in love with each other and nothing can ever hurt them again. They hail from Mad Max: Fury Road.
Tumblr media
Angharad popped up in some of the Pride and disability photos, but here's your official introduction to her! The Splendid Angharad is the unofficial leader of their group; she incited their rebellion and she's outspoken and fierce and perfect. In their little modern AU, she's a women's studies major. She's also Capable's primary.
She was born a McKenna and given a faceup (lips, scars) to better resemble Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in the movie. She's wearing a dress by SewCuteForever on Etsy and the shoes from Rebecca's Movie Dress.
Tumblr media
Capable has also been around before, but this is her proper intro as well. She's our girl Friday, our quick adapter, our surprising optimist. In their modern AU, she's a poli sci major. She's also Angharad's primary.
She was born a Saige and the only necessary change was a trim of her bangs. Here's Riley Keough in the movie for comparison. She's wearing a top and shorts from Sew2Repurpose on Etsy and the boots from Saige's Meet Outfit.
Tumblr media
Next, Toast the Knowing! Toast is the worldweary one of the group; prior to the events of the film, she lived in the Wasteland and had to know how to shoot and drive and take care of herself. She's still got a big protective instinct. In their modern AU, she's a science major. She's ace-spectrum and doesn't really have a primary as such, but she's okay with that.
Toast was born, possibly, JLY 58. She was rewigged (with a custom-cut xanimestuffstorex wig) and given a faceup to better resemble Zoe Kravitz in the movie. She's wearing a sweater from JulesNmeDollDesigns on Etsy, overalls by BellasDivas on Etsy, and black boots from... somewhere.
Tumblr media
The Dag is the "weird one" of the group for sure, and she doesn't mind one bit. She's inclined toward nature and healing. In their modern AU, she is in fact a naturopathic medicine major. She's also Cheedo's primary.
Dag was born a Just Like You 116. She was rewigged (with a Bbeauty Dolls wig) and given both a faceup and her little finger tattoos. She's wearing a dress from EclecticDollStudio on Etsy, a kimono from SewCuteForever on Etsy, boots from, again, somewhere, and one arm warmer of forgotten origin.
Tumblr media
Cheedo the Fragile, then. Cheedo is definitely the baby of the group; she's very innocent and sweet, although not terribly trusting at this point. In their modern AU, she's still choosing a major. She's also Dag's primary.
She's a currently-unaltered Nanea. She's wearing a dress and shoes by AdollablebyRita on Etsy.
Here are some more pictures of them hanging out outside with their new car (an Our Generation car that was generously given to us by @incomprehensiblelentils' boss after his daughter no longer wanted it). Look how happy they are.

Who was taking care of her three kids while she was busy have 7 soon to be 8 babies and three miscarriages for other people?
"I get attached like a loving aunt," Emily Westerfield explains of her relationship after giving birth. Courtesy Emily Westerfield
April 25, 2024, 5:39 AM EDT / Source: TODAY
By Rosie Colosi, TODAY
April 21-27 is National Infertility Awareness Week. All week, TODAY will be sharing stories to raise awareness of what it is like to experience infertility.
In the last 13 years, 37-year-old Emily Westerfield has delivered 10 healthy babies. Three were her own biological children. She acted as a gestational carrier for families of the others. Twice, she carried twins.
She is now 28 weeks pregnant with baby No. 11.
“I’m probably the unicorn in this industry,” Westerfield tells TODAY.com.
Her incredible success in navigating the surrogacy experience led her to give birth to Carrying Dreams, her own full-service agency designed to help egg donors, surrogates and intended parents on their parenting journeys in a way that works best for them.
So, would Westerfield consider having baby No. 12?
“In a heartbeat,” she says.
Planting the seed for surrogacy
Westerfield and her husband, Max, live in Celina, Ohio, with their three biological children: Mckenna, 13, Jack, 11, and Charlie, 10.
In 2010, Westerfield spent a lot of time bonding with Max’s cousin, who had been having trouble sustaining a pregnancy for years. She was suffering from secondary infertility and struggled to bring a pregnancy to term.
“She just continuously kept having loss after loss, and it was heartbreaking,” she says.
Westerfield was able to conceive and deliver her three biological children with relative ease, making her feel “guilty” every time she shared the news with her husband’s cousin. Without knowing much about the process of surrogacy, Westerfield offered to be a gestational carrier for the cousin’s embryo.
“They did not feel that surrogacy was the path that they wanted to take,” she explains, “but I knew that there were probably so many other people in the world who needed help in a very similar way. Maybe I could help.”Even while she was pregnant with her third (and last) biological child, Westerfield mentioned to her husband that she was interested in becoming a gestational carrier.
“I was shot down by him so many times,” Westerfield says with a laugh. “The more and more I shared to educate him, I think the more and more he felt comfortable with it. Or he just got sick of me nagging.”
The first surrogacy journey
After her son Charlie completed their family, Westerfield activated her search to find another family to assist via surrogacy in earnest. She joined an online forum that no longer exists. “It was almost like a Craigslist of everybody in the infertility community,” she says. Surrogates, egg donors, sperm donors and intended parents used the site to help create families.
“I created a profile and just put myself out there,” says Westerfield. “I was overwhelmed with the response and just inundated with emails and queries. The more and more that I got into this, the more I realized there’s so many more people out there that need the help than the people that are willing to help.”
Westerfield had initial conversations with a handful of hopeful parents and ultimately chose a couple that seemed like a good match in terms of personality, age and location. They were an easy three-hour drive away.
But the decision wasn’t easy. Each story was more heartbreaking than the one before. The family that Westerfield ultimately decided to help already had two children. During the second birth, the mother needed an emergency hysterectomy, leaving her unable to complete their family with the third child they so desperately wanted.
Calling to tell the couple the good news “was so emotionally overwhelming and exciting and nerve-wracking, all at the same time.” Using the embryos the couple had already created, Westerfield delivered their third child, a girl, in December 2015.
“And that’s when everything started,” Westerfield says.
Tumblr media

Westerfield says, “I noticed that as soon as I had the first one, I wanted to do this again. It was almost just like, ‘Now who else can I help?’”
She delivered healthy babies in 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2021 and 2022. She is currently pregnant and due in July.
“I’ve been able to completely just have wonderful pregnancies,” she says. Even so, at age 37, she knows that she may have a limited window in which to continue.
The process of being a gestational carrier is markedly different than being pregnant with your own child, according to Westerfield. For instance, there are screenings and contracts and psychological evaluations. Her husband did not accompany her to appointments. She keeps in mind that the end goal is to deliver a healthy child so that another couple can “start, build or complete their family.”
Wondering if it’s ever hard to let go of a baby you have physically carried for nine months? Westerfield says it’s not.
“I get attached like a loving aunt,” she explains. Knowing the heartbreak that the couple has gone through in the past, “you want to hand that baby over when you get to the end of this.”
Westerfield started her own surrogacy agency in August 2023 in part to help educate and provide resources for both potential surrogates and intended families.
“I feel like there’s so much information out there that it’s overwhelming,” Westerfield says. “And a lot of it is outdated or incorrect, and I want to be able to speak from personal experience going through this process.”
Tumblr media

She also helps match families with gestational carriers and helps hold their hand through a stressful process, making sure they are on the same page for important topics like physical or chromosomal abnormalities, geographic location, contact preferences after birth and even vaccination status.It’s difficult to find gestational carriers who are willing and fit all of the qualifications. Westerfield also thinks it’s essential for gestational carriers to have completed their own families before helping others grow theirs. She has about six prospective couples for every one potential surrogate.
Westerfield takes a lot of pride in helping families grow, especially those she has carried children for. She stays in touch with each family in some capacity via text or social media, and she tries to remember to send birthday gifts.
“I am so proud to be able to do this for other people. I know my time is very limited as we’re getting closer and closer to how many people I’m able to help, but still I’m young enough and I’m healthy enough to be able to do so,” Westerfield says. “And I’ll continue to help as long as my body and my family allows me to.”

ok so so far in the running for possible west end queens are:
DANIELLE FIAMANYA - confirmed, leaked on a workshop announcement, most likely either aragon or parr
HANNAH LOWTHER - 99% confirmed, all the hints she’s been dropping as well as the announcement coming soon, im thinking boleyn
KAYLEIGH MCKNIGHT - she posted on her tiktok about an announcement being imminent and while this could mean anything, the timeframe of hannah’s story and hers are quite similar - im thinking seymour/super swing
JAINA BROCK PATEL - she apparently went on instagram live and accidentally leaked that she’d received an offer for six west end. considering it was her dream role as well as it being her west end debut, i wouldn’t be surprised if she accepted the offer
MADDISON FIRTH - she recently posted a story regarding a costume fitting she was attending, and the timeline of when six start costume fittings matches PERFECTLY. im thinking alternate seen as jaina is already howard, but if jaina didn’t accept the offer i can see her being howard
INEZ BUDD - recently shared on instagram live that she has a new contract coming up which starts rehearsals the day of her birthday. her birthday is 14th september, which is like perfect for when rehearsals for six west end start. im thinking parr
HONEY JOSEPH - this is one im not too confident about, but she posted a tiktok about booking her dream role. this could mean anything, but the reason im putting this on here is because of how all this news of new jobs coincide with people like hannah, who is almost definitely in six.
there have also been rumours of a white australian actress taking over the role of cleves based off of what a friend of the actress has said, ive heard the name max mckenna through another friend so
as always, list will be updated as we find out more!

ABOUT ME
⊱ i was studying to become a teacher in english and history. i dropped out when i only had one year left from my masters, but i couldn't do it anymore
⊱ with the subjects and points i already had, i applied for my ba thesis to become official, so i actually have a bachelor's degree in english. it was about how mr. darcy is the epitome of the female gaze and why we all love him (no joke)
⊱ i currently work nearly full time at a small grocery store in the city centre, where i encounter all sorts of people... it can get a little hectic to say the least
⊱ i used to work as a florist for seven years, hence 'meet your local florist', so i loooove flowers
⊱ currently in a relationship with the sweetest and most respectable guy to ever exist. we've been together for six years (holyyyy)
