How could there possibly be a sale pending on a $28m house like this? I guess there are rich people out there. The 1874 mansion in Palisades, NY has been redone with an artsy modern vibe, but it also incorporates some cool vintage elements, too, like a Victorian shower. 8bds, 9ba, 8,000 sq ft.

The current owners are art collectors and have proper lighting installed. The original woodwork has been painted white to showcase the art.

Very large sitting room leads into another, smaller, sitting room with a fireplace.

The dining room walls and ceiling form a giant abstract art canvas.

The kitchen isn't that exciting.

There's a nice wine room back here, though.

The stair railings look original.

Office or den at the top of the stairs.

The primary bedroom has enough space for a corner sitting area.

And, here's how they incorporated the Victorian shower.

Closet and dressing table.

The uppermost level of the house is finished.

A couple more bedrooms up here.

Also a family room.

And, this would be the driveway in winter- it's upstate New York, so...

Beautiful. I would have to turn this into a she shed.

Architectural detailing.

The pool looks a little lonely out here.

That's the Hudson River. Wave to NJ across the way. 13 Acre lot

I'd like to think that Martha Kent and Martha Wayne would've been friends.

That Mrs. Wayne secretly hoped for a girl, but she took one look at her darling, red-flushed baby boy with whisps of his father's hair and fell in love all over again. Bruce keeps her young. He is sharp and filled with questions and quick to point out the injustices around them. Thomas jokes that he'll make a great lawyer. Bruce always scrunches his nose at this and says that he's going to be a "good guy like Zorro!"

That Mrs. Kent never gave up hope that God would deliver her a child, and when a star crash-landed by the barn she knew her prayers had been answered. Clark sticks by her side. He is watchful and curious and easily fascinated by everything around him. He watches her bake with the same rapt focus as he tinkers with the truck under Jon's tutelage. He "pokes his nose into everything, I swear," according to Jon's hearty chuckles.

They meet somewhere mundane – at a bookclub or grocery store or library, catching each other's eye and smiling in honor of the mutual world-weary experience of being a "boy mom" – and hit it off immediately. Mrs. Wayne invites her over for tea parties (and if there is more wine than tea, Mrs. Kent will never judge) under the guise of playdates, finishing projects in progress, exchanging home care tips. Mrs. Kent brings over slices of small town Americana – home baked goods, half-done quilts, preserves ("yes, please keep the jar"). Mrs. Wayne will inevitably insist they "make a day of it" and get their hair done, browse a boutique on the way home, pick out new toys and books and shoes for the boys.

They spoil each other's child rotten: Mrs. Wayne whisks Clark away with the family to some remote island for vacation, buys him a watch as a graduation present, arranges for a personal shopper to get him suited properly for his first adult job at the Daily Planet. Mrs. Kent shows Bruce how to care for horses and gives him the foal he helped deliver, bakes from scratch his three favorite pies for his birthday, spends the day with him at a range perfecting his marksmanship.

Martha Kent, fiery and compassionate, definitely would've been friends with the clever and gentle Martha Wayne in another life

She allows her fingers to slip into his palm though they lack any sort of strength or will of their own. Beth knows that in the grand scheme of things, she isn't an important person. She isn't an X-man like Kurt or his friends. Her brother, in life, had been a hero. The Admiral and her auntie are both political powerhouses and each famous in their own right. She was always meant to exist in the background, a quiet life that for the most part would go forever unsung. Not that she craves those things, but sometimes the quietness inside wants to know that it somehow has meaning. She shrugs delicately. "I...I don't know. Mebbe it was jus' a stupid question, ya know? One dat got aks for no real reason. Don' let it boddah you." She offers him a wan smile. "Jus' bein' silly."

"hmm so you choice to leave him to suffer and parish." Morpho chuckle. " Hmm, that's a good choice... Follow me, the place should be here. " He soon walk to a direction, you quickly follow suit to him. He reach out to the beautiful jewels surrounded with crystal hearts and sweets... As well a purple butterfly.

" Oh. It seems that we cant touch that world at the moment. It's on that timeline. " He mumble before you know it Maid Blood have come running to the two of you and stared at the jewel as if seeing something.

" BASTARD RABBIT, KISSING MY SPOUSE!! STUPID CLONE KILL EM KILL EM!" he seems to be really angry about something as Morpho pry him off the jewel. "What a disturbing and unhinged simp." He added as he throw the other across the gallery.

"W-what was that..." You think you just saw him mad like blood for a moment. "That? Ah. A delusional person. Don't bother with him... Hmm let see where's the current timeline." He start to click something in a holographic screen.

As you watch in curiosity, you suddenly felt your chess becoming quite suffocating. Like something is gripping it so tightly.

"Ah? What's wrong? " The guardian pause and look at you who's now on the floor coughing and trying to catch a breath.

"... Oh. Your going to have a bad time." He suddenly find your situation in a dare state. "Do you know the story of Persephone and hades...? Hades give her a pomegranate to keep her by his side..." He kneel down and poke your forehead, it somehow lessen the pain. "Sadly in your case... You were feed more than she did... " He chuckle a bit, it seems his very amuse by your suffering.

"scheming some crap again, i see. I see." Maid blood who's finally back commented and stared down at you boredly. " You know. That guy never told you... But your thoughts is openly being read by him... " He suddenly have a twisted grin. Your eyes widen at what he said. " Oh voices in your head, Shall you persist or Shall you not."

" Your awfully noisy right now." Morpho guardian stood up and sigh. His face become expressionless. " Do you care about them--'

"Not really." The other quickly answers. "The only thing that stops me from ending them is that they are my beloved creation." He yawned sleepily. "I would destroy everything and do everything for my precious... So why would I care about some troubles of someone else? " He smile happily as if he just don't say something scary at all.

" I forget that even if you all are different, somehow something stays the same. " Morpho guardian rolled his eyes before he look at you who's in the floor. " I do have to apologize. Those choices are a test for you... Sadly you failed. To begin with... Don't you notice your little " choices in the head of yours don't have the same [ You have chosen (statement) ] when you began your part? Because it's not back yet.... A part of you ignored the warning of what left of [ kindness] of that."

He point at maid Blood who's looking at a screen, the screen shows a clip of two people being married in a traditional way, looking close the person looks like him but the other person have their back to the [ camera] but you can hear them says:

[ hanii ~ I don't mind getting married with you a thousand times eheheh. Because I love you! ] As that voice spoke out, it sound familiar and not. Yet Maid blood look longingly and have a lovesick smile on his face.

[ Your only supposed to say I do! B-but--... I love you too...!! (｡・//ε//・｡)] The Groom Turns bright red, at that part maid blood clicked his tongue in disdain.

"stupid clone, say more! Stupid! Say you'll do anything for them! Lock them up! Stop them from approaching that spouse stealing rabbit! Cook him alive! Fucking Bastard kiss my spouse after killing and have blood on his hands! Hateful bastard! It's not even hygienic!! Pathetic shit" He complained as he shakes the screen. "I wanna burned that fucking love triangle tag... " He seems to try to punch something you can't see.

"... well it's probably cause your his spouse creation that made him act such way." The guardian sigh at the sight of Maid Blood.

"Hey you, stupid kid." Maid blood look up to you. "Haft of bit of you wish to not see your little knight die. The other wish to [ marry ] someone your not supposed to know. Kokoko... Do you know. That [ doll ] will kill you because [ Ritsu Sakuma, Kuma ] is supposed to find the world of Darling Dolls-- [Phantom] and in which will lead them to the location of the Dollmaker.... Yet [ Kuma ] have left astray for his mission, others from his world would not like it even one bit, after all... Dolls are quite one who don't like being left by their owner, being abandoned is something they all can't take so lightly." He stood up and went to get some stuff from side of the gallery.

" Stop being noisy." Morpho sighs as his little fun is gone now.

"Since you don't want me to be noisy, I will be more noisy! Kokoko." Maid blood appear again but holding a huge mochi of someone familiar yet not face being chibified. "Anyway. Stupid kid. [ Kuma ] is being killed over and over again by that lunatic--"

" Just like you. How hilarious. " (Morpho guardian)

" --and his listening to all the thoughts in your head since the very beginning you arrive here. Now what ever chances you wish. It's gone now... That person... Don't dream someone like him go ever change. The world of his doesn't allow it. They love villain like him, and it will stay that way." he hugs the huge mochi as he seat in the floor.

"lucky you, you can still save Kuma of yours. Bye bye, stupid kid. It seems the hatless hatter finally caught you."

He then point at the strings that you don't notice is tied on you.

" To begin with... That annoying guy cannot have an expense to have the likes of [ Blood Mad Hatter] out of his au... Cause, if your gone off the twisted world. Hatless psycho can access the gallery... It's the deal with my love... How charming of them. " He sigh Dreamily as he mentioned his beloved.

" Your not from that au, but your life is created for that au. My beloved likes to pry into business they shouldn't care, you see. Your their way to get hold of the twisted world from inside out... You already spend many years there... You have taken root in that world and soon their plan will work. How amazing, as expected of them! " He once again cannot help but admire their darling plan.

"Have fun having two versions of your punishment. Ahahaha-- " before you know it something -- no someone dragged you back to the jewel representing the twisted world.

.

.

"Can you not?" The Morpho guardian stared at the one who abandoned his name who's hugging one of the merchandise of his spouse.

"What? Your face is fucking ugly, don't stare at me like that. Disgusting." The nameless one look at his landlord in disdain.

"Whatever, clean the whole gallery again or I'm going to put some tags again."

"HEY! YOU BASTARD! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!"

Save This c.1880 New York Romanesque Revival Mansion For Sale on 12 Acres $200K

$200,000 Inside, this eight-bedroom New York Romanesque Revival mansion for sale is a mix of faded elegance and untapped potential. Large rooms with high ceilings are framed by original woodwork. Grand fireplaces anchor several rooms. Arched doorways, intricate built-ins and an imposing center staircase are a testament to the artisans of a bygone era. It is the most expensive house we have…

1899 Park Slope brownstone mansion in Brooklyn, NY has 6bds, 3.5ba, 4,100 sq ft. $4.195m.

This home has incredibly detailed woodwork that's going to need a good cleaning. The large entrance hall reflects the size of the home. I can't say that I like the orange walls and gray trim, but that's easily fixed.

The main sitting room is an awkward shape. It's so long and narrow, but the owners have all of the furniture against the walls, which doesn't do it any favors. No matter how narrow the room is, you've still got to float some of the pieces to fill the center. Look at the huge doorway moldings, though.

The dining room is magnificent with it's fireplace and incredible built-in cabinets. Look at the door and transom- it's huge. Love the chandelier, too. This room needs some decor and it will look crazy elegant.

Isn't this the best kitchen ever? It's just about original. No walls were removed, it still retains it's basic footprint. Look at the stained glass windows and the glass window in the original door.

The small powder room is disappointing. The sink is terrible. It needs some cute Victorian decor.

The bedrooms are all very large. They've got original woodwork and fireplaces.

Example of the tile and wood on one of the fireplaces. Even the firebox looks original.

What a vintage bath. This is amazing.

It's the en-suite for the large sunny children's room. Love the fireplace.

Usually, Victorian nurseries are small rooms, but this one is fairly larger than most.

Here's another bath that combines vintage and modern. I'm surprised that there are only 3.5 baths in this huge house. It amounts to 1 per floor.

Here's another lovely bedroom. They all get wonderful sunlight.

But, this suite is the coolest one, especially if you're an artist. It has skylights for great natural light and a huge studio.

The studio is actually 2 rooms and has this big wall of storage.

Plus, there's this nicely done shower room.

And, this is a large one bedroom apt., complete with it's own kitchen.

This small back porch is used as a home office.

If the new owner would like a finished basement, this one would make a great rathskeller.

There's a small garden out back, which is always a bonus in the city.

@bothsidesofaquestion {{from your lovely open starter}} Beth pointedly does not glance at the shadows and the dark even if she does sidle closer to Kurt, until there is only a hand span between his midnight skin and her sand-coloured own. The little witch has always known about the things in the dark, and very sincerely has feared them. It's why, decades past the age where such things should have become obsolete, she never goes anywhere without her nightlight. "Me too," she murmurs. "Not just dem, d'ough. All kinds of...stuff. Spirits of trees an' rocks. Animals. People." Whether she means the soul or she means ghosts is entirely up to him to decide, however, there's something in the way she says it makes it distinct from the shadow...things.

"Are you...are you scared of dem? I am."

FATHER & SON: James Earl Jones with his Father Robert Earl Jones on Stage in the 1962 Production "Moon on a Rainbow Shawl."

Robert Earl Jones (February 3, 1910 – September 7, 2006), sometimes credited as Earl Jones, was an American actor and professional boxer. One of the first prominent Black film stars, Jones was a living link with the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s, having worked with Langston Hughes early in his career.

Jones was best known for his leading roles in films such as Lying Lips (1939) and later in his career for supporting roles in films such as The Sting (1973), Trading Places (1983), The Cotton Club (1984), and Witness (1985).

Jones was born in northwestern Mississippi; the specific location is unclear as some sources indicate Senatobia, while others suggest nearby Coldwater. He left school at an early age to work as a sharecropper to help his family. He later became a prizefighter. Under the name "Battling Bill Stovall", he was a sparring partner of Joe Louis.

Jones became interested in theater after he moved to Chicago, as one of the thousands leaving the South in the Great Migration. He moved on to New York by the 1930s. He worked with young people in the Works Progress Administration, the largest New Deal agency, through which he met Langston Hughes, a young poet and playwright. Hughes cast him in his 1938 play, Don't You Want to Be Free?.

Jones also entered the film business, appearing in more than twenty films. His film career started with the leading role of a detective in the 1939 race film Lying Lips, written and directed by Oscar Micheaux, and Jones made his next screen appearance in Micheaux's The Notorious Elinor Lee (1940). Jones acted mostly in crime movies and dramas after that, with such highlights as Wild River (1960) and One Potato, Two Potato (1964). In the Oscar-winning 1973 film The Sting, he played Luther Coleman, an aging grifter whose con is requited with murder leading to the eponymous "sting". In the later 20th century, Jones appeared in several other noted films: Trading Places (1983) and Witness (1985).

Toward the end of his life, Jones was noted for his stage portrayal of Creon in The Gospel at Colonus (1988), a black musical version of the Oedipus legend. He also appeared in episodes of the long-running TV shows Lou Grant and Kojak. One of his last stage roles was in a 1991 Broadway production of Mule Bone by Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston, another important writer of the Harlem Renaissance. His last film was Rain Without Thunder (1993).

Although blacklisted by the House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s due to involvement with leftist groups, Jones was ultimately honored with a lifetime achievement award by the U.S. National Black Theatre Festival.

Jones was married three times. As a young man, he married Ruth Connolly (died 1986) in 1929; they had a son, James Earl Jones. Jones and Connolly separated before James was born in 1931, and the couple divorced in 1933. Jones did not come to know his son until the mid-1950s. He adopted a second son, Matthew Earl Jones. Jones died on September 7, 2006, in Englewood, New Jersey, from natural causes at age 96.
