In order to turn a very embarrassing moment of my life into something funny have this stupid Timbern au:

The Drakes are alive so Tim is still on track for being the heir of D.I. but is interning at W.E. for the summer because Bruce offered a position

Bernard has been interning at W.E. as well, for volunteering hours

The both work in a small, newer branch of W.E. that focuses on cultivating more information about Gotham’s history

Bernard’s there because it's the most teen focused thing and Tim’s there because he wants to figure where exactly the Lazarus pit is under Gotham so he can mess with Ra’s

They are currently stationed at an old house that was made into a museum which is managed by Wayne Enterprises, but since most of it is a museum there are only a few rooms to actually work, however it being a teen thing it’s very much choose your own hours so that prevents too many people from being there at once

Tim, who doesn’t want someone to come in a see the fact that he’s already finished cataloging all of the 2023 Donations to the museum and is instead using the time to further research the numerous curses in Gotham and/or watch Demon Slayer, is very happy about this fact and only comes at either the earliest or latest times so he gets a room to himself and only has to pretend to be going through boxes when someone checks on him

Bernard immediately messes up Tim’s plan

He’s always there- morning, night, even when Tim changes up his schedule

And no matter how many how many empty rooms there might be he always finds Tim and sits with him, even the time Tim tried to hide in the attic under the guise of organizing a couple boxes up there

Being the paranoid idiot that he is Tim assume that Bernard is a from the League of Assassins and enacts a 46-step plan to figure out what he’s planning (read: stalks him) and in the course of it ends up falling in love

Meanwhile on Bernard’s side, the first week of the internship he walked into the room Tim was in and wanted to be friends with the cute boy

The reason that he kept finding Tim was that he was talking to Dick Grayson, his gymnastics instructor, and Dick had realized that the boy in question was his honorary little brother and told Bernard that “Timmy’s shy, you just have to break down his walls to get to know him” and tells him when Tim’s going to the museum

Dick is well aware of what Tim thinks the situation is because he’s the one Tim rants to, but he thinks it’s funny and will make for a great story to tell at their wedding

Madame Roulin Rocking the Cradle

Original Title: La Berceuse

Artist: Vincent van Gogh (Dutch, 1853–1890)

Period: Post-Impressionism

Genre: Portrait

Date: January 1889

Medium: Oil Paint

Subject: Augustine Roulin

Collection: Museum of Fine Arts, Boston Massachusetts

Vincent van Gogh saw in Augustine Roulin-along with her husband, Joseph, and their children-a model of love and family life. In this portrait, Roulin rocks a cradle by pulling on a rope. The title La Berceuse (the lullaby) suggests a consoling figure, and the artist described his palette as a soothing “lullaby in colors.”

Van Gogh painted five versions of this image. He completed this one in January 1889, soon after returning from his stay in the hospital following Paul Gauguin’s fraught departure. Madame Roulin sits in Gauguin’s chair, an attempt by Van Gogh to fill the space left by the older artist. In May 1889, Van Gogh gave this canvas to Gauguin as a gesture of reconciliation and friendship, instructing that it be hung between two paintings of sunflowers.

Out of Flavour: Tasteless desires from an avaricious empire

Sue Kneebone, 2023, here shown at the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for Twist.

In 1845, Sir John Franklin led a costly polar exploration in which no one survived. His wife, Lady Jane Franklin, financed numerous search parties, some of which left canned foods on the Arctic ice in the desperate hope that her husband would find them. Other strategies included capturing Arctic foxes to which notes were attached to tell any survivors where to find food.

When reports from later suggested the crew resorted to cannibalism, Lady Jane requested Charles Dickens redeem her husband's reputation by reporting the crew's remains were not mutilated, but they had died 'passively' from cold and hunger.

... While the cans reflect poverty and thrift, Kneebone's zoomorphic cutlery set evokes the unquenchable greed and folly of the British Empire ...

In 1845, Tasmania's ex-Governor Sir John Franklin travelled with his own personalised cutlery set on his costly and ill-fated Arctic expedition.

The litter piece references Lady Jane Franklin's travels through the wilderness of lutruwita/Tasmania, where she was carried by convicts on a sedan chair/litter.

Side Chair

Designed by Alexander Jackson Davis American Possibly by Burns and Brother American ca. 1857

"Alexander Jackson Davis, one of the preeminent architects of nineteenth-century America, worked in a range of revival styles. Unlike most architects of the time, he occasionally supplied furniture designs to select clients. This animated chair, which appears ready to spring from its diminutive hoof feet, is a version of a design he made for John J. Herrick, the owner of a castellated villa designed by Davis that once stood in Tarrytown, New York. Davis’s elegant chair artfully suggests and adapts the Gothic style, which was meant to convey the values of intellect, learned contemplation, and sophistication."
