Have all the surprising musical successes from the noughts ended up being as the victims of their immensely popular flukes as they still struggle? Well, some did quite well for themselves, such as Dido. Look, I have to be honest with you about her – I thought her career would be much worse than what she still has. I agree that she doesn't get the same numbers as her albums from the noughts, though she continues to be cherished as one of the more intriguing personas in pop. There is just something warm about her, because she resembles someone you talk to about your problems over a cup of tea. Of course, she would've laughed at this assertion, yet I think she represents a type in music we need more often than we are willing to acknowledge.

19, 24 & 25 for the MMU ask game please!
19. Best location
Cambridge University!!! The vibes are immaculate, Bertie's there, the night climbing... impeccable. MAM did in fact set off a fixation on Cambridge Uni for a while
24. Best book cover
The Body In The Blitz! I love the fact that you can see May, Eric and Nuala's faces, because I can't see characters' faces in my head :D also Eric with Pfote and May in his shorts!!!
I also love ALL the American covers for this reason. There is also something to be said for the gorgeous shininess of Death Sets Sail
25. Favourite character who's like mentioned maybe once
Lallie Thompson-Bates! (She's in Top Marks For Murder). Both her parents are attempted murderers, so are probably locked up and I always feel for Lallie and what happens to her. I think she has a lot in common with Hazel and I actually have a few snippets of a fic with them talking about their parents

GH: THE FLASH #319
Ever since I was six years old, the Flash has been my favorite super hero. There was something about the combination of elements–the slick costume, the simple power, the gallery of recurring villains, the sort of serious-but-not-too-serious tone of the strip–that really connected with me. But as time went on and I got older, both I and the Flash started to change. There was a clear push away from…

An Englishman Abroad (BBC, 1983)
"The average Englishman, you see, is not interested in ideas. Say what you like about political theory. No one will listen. You could shove a whole slice of the Communist manifesto into the Queen's Speech. Nobody would turn a hair. Least of all, I suspect, HMQ."
#an englishman abroad#1983#alan bennett#john schlesinger#single play#bbc#alan bates#coral browne#charles gray#harold innocent#vernon dobtcheff#alexei jawdokimov#matthew sim#denys hawthorne#trevor baxter#mark wing davey#molly veness#judy gridley#peter chelsom#douglas reith#based on the true story of Browne's incidental meeting with (and subsequent correspondence with) Guy Burgess during the RSC#(then the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre) tour of Hamlet to Moscow in 1958. Browne had told Bennett the tale and then gently nudged him into#writing the play‚ although it was he who suggested she play herself (reasoning that her age had no real impact on the work; and actually#despite being around 70 she convinces as her 40 something self). Schlesinger apparently muscled in and wanted to expand the story to make a#feature length cinema film but Bennett correctly stood his ground; as he said‚ this is an anecdote‚ and probably wouldn't stand dragging#out longer than an hour. as it is‚ it's a sharply delivered character study that muses on ideas of class and identity and the nature of#what is proper (in the english sense). most of his former contacts regard Burgess with an almost passive indifference‚ his status as a#traitor an incidental aside that's no more damning than his homosexuality or his alcholism was. Bennett was uneasy about casting Bates#despite their being friends‚ because he was the wrong class; this time Schlesinger was right in calling him out on that nonsense#Bates is superb as the semi tragic‚ semi noble (and frequently very funny) exile; Browne his match for spiky dialogue and raised eyebrows

Is there a Doctor Alchemy on this flight?
Every Flash-Fan, whether you watched the CW series or simply are a comic fan-whatever, knows Dr Alchemy
Albert Desmond is undoubtly the most popular one as he's "the 1st Doctor" and has been serving this role non-stop pretty much since 2004, but there were some "proteges" I'd like to delve into, hence this post will be about nearly everything
So, once upon a time in popculture there used to exist this trope of "opposite twins":
-Samantha & Serena in Bewitched (which seems to be the primal source of this trend),
-Gwen & Sunny in Ben10,
-Wayne & Lucien from The Cramp Twins and many many more
Anyway, in
July '80; in The Flash #287
Cary Bates starts the arc with Dr Alchemy's attack at the lab in CCPD. Naturally, the last wearer of the mantle - Al Desmond, comes first to Barry's mind, although he doesn't want to believe that Al would revert to his criminal career
Tumblr media
'cause here's the thing: Mister Element appeared in Showcase #13 whereas Dr Alchemy debuted in Showcase #14, where even Flash pointed out the quick change in Desmond's alter ego
Tumblr media
What's even more interesting, it seemed like Al just "wanted to be" a criminal
Tumblr media
Since then, Al did his time in prison, became a model citizen...
Well, it wasn't perfect, because he happened to have few relapses now and then, whether he:
Tumblr media
was mind-controlled by Professor Zoom [The Flash #147]
Tumblr media
was possesed by this "evil star" that aCtUalLy had been influencing his mental condition from the beginning [The Flash #216]
Tumblr media
orrr was possesed by a demon? [The Flash #230]
In The Flash #153 Albert feels an urge towards doing evil, hence he behaves compulsively, firstly imitating having a gun, attempting to rob a restaurant and then suiting up in Element's costume
Tumblr media
He later returns as Mr Element in order to rescue Flash, simultaneously deceiving Thawne ['cause Zoom believed that was the result of his "evil-making machine"] Fortunately, Barry takes Al to 25th century, where the latter goes through some "electro-re-education programme"
[at least it worked all right here, right Alex DeLarge?]
Tumblr media
Later on, Al relinquishes "the Dr Alchemy-self" in The Flash #230
Tumblr media
[aight, I know, sorry for this long interlude but I found it necessary to include it - now back to #287]
Upon meeting Desmonds, Rita - Al's wife, reveals that her husband's been absent at the time of Alchemy's assault, further increasing Barry's suspicion; police arrives, takes Albert to custody and not long after - Dr Alchemy escapes, ultimately leading Allen to a terryfying conclusion
Tumblr media
But, reaching the final page, the reader finds out that
Tumblr media
*tum tum tuuuum*
The Flash #288
Soooo the new Dr Alchemy is an Al Desmond. Both Desmonds happen to be "astral/platonic twins":
-they both were born into Desmond families [although they aren't really related]
-they both are fond of chemistry
-they have the same voice
And the most interesting aspect about their "connection" - while one is a good citizen, the other tends to behave violently, albeit this doesn't explain Al's becoming a criminal in the first place
and yeah, second-Albert created a hypnotic serum, which he named...desmondium
...right
Tumblr media
As the second-Albert battles and seemingly wins over Flash, he proudly reveals his secret. Barry obviously gets out of the trap, but at least now his mind is at ease about Albert. Talking about Albert, what's up with him?
...
[*sets "Without me" by Eminem]
The Flash #289
Tumblr media
That's right, Mr Element's back in action, but despite his previous returns, this time Al ain't sinister nor controlled - he's deliberately a good guy, whose only goal is to stop Dr Alchemy. Albert donned his old alter ego as he felt responsible for Dr Alchemy's deeds
Barry learns from Rita about Alchemy's potential hideout.
And so, the final battle between Dr Alchemy, Flash and Mr Element...doesn't happen as Al's quickly rendered unconcious, but heyy, Barry's here to save the day
And so, the two pals walk into the night as Al confesses that it's over finally
Tumblr media
...
The Flash vol 2 40
Years later, Wally tries to exorcise an irish ghost out of Linda. In order to do that, they pay a visit to Albert Desmond who apparently inhabits now a goth-like mansion
Tumblr media
And then...Albert?
Tumblr media
So not only does he look different, but he behaves oddly, too. He's clearly obsessed with recreating the Philosopher's Stone for some reason
aight, it's Alvin
Tumblr media
But what is "concerning" is his usage of that stone; Alvin seems out of practice, sloppy and uncreative when it comes to choosing the post-transformed product; he makes a few pauses, ponders too long over what the Stone can transform things into
Tumblr media
To put it simply, isolation & obession drove him even more insane, rendering him insensible
But well, Wally manages to defeat him; he and Linda find the real Albert Desmond
Tumblr media
poor guy...well anyway, hopefully this time it's really ov--
Tumblr media
Ehh, for fock's sake...
The Flash vol 2 41
Alvin somehow breaks out [only leaving a salty statue of himself behind in the cell] and creates chaos for kicks, but suprisingly - this time he utilises the Philosopher Stone's powers quite well even going as far as to defeating Wally
Simultaneously Albert returns as Mr Element, but it still isn't enough to beat Alvin
Then a slight retcon happens while Wally realizes that Alvin is pretty much just a manifestation of Al's evilness with fake memories implemented by the Stone itself. In result, Al accepts the reality and destroys Alvin once and for all - FOR REAL this time
Tumblr media
In Who's who in DC Universe #14 we find out that, sadly, after retrieving the Philosopher Stone, Albert started to become more and more seduced by his artefact
Tumblr media
And it looks like he gave in, 'cause he appears few times in Waid's run
When Johns took over, he made Albert into a stereotypical mystic, who spends a lot of time on reading and practising alchemy [even his cell's been decorated in goth-theme] and he stays this way till N52&Rebirth
Tumblr media
But before I get to that "version", lemme talk a bit about the third Alchemy - perhaps the lest known, Curtis Engstrom. He worked as an advisor on a S.T.A.R. Labs project that would use Philosopher's Stone's special properties to cure blood diseases. He of course stole both the device and the Stone. In prison he met a guy, who later tricked him, stealing the device from the first thief. Curtis decided to get his revenge on the guy, got the Philosopher's Stone, calling himself the Alchemist. Engstrom, despite lack of experience, cleverly uses the Stone's power i.e. by creating copper stalagmites while it's raining [electricity conducive] or by lacing an area with thin molybdenum strings [sharp enough to slice Flash] Engstrom only appears in two issues - The Flash #71-72
Rebirth
In Rebirth Albert does appear a few times. In The Flash #764-766 Albert tricks Barry into wielding Philosopher's Stone in order to control Flash himself; oh and he kinda absorbs Stone's powers so he doesn't physically need it anymore
A propos, depending on the issue, Albert either used the Stone to access powers or used it to channel his powers
Exemplary:
-in The Flash #216 Al revealed that the elemental-gun only concencrated his elemental energy, although nothing like this had ever happened before
Tumblr media
-albeit in The Flash #230 a similar thing happened, this instance regarding Dr Alchemy, thus he didn't need the Philosopher's Stone anymore
-ever since the Alchemy-excorsion, Al has been constantly using his Elemental Gun
Tumblr media
[The Flash #41 & the coolest Mr Element design, along with his cool af machine gun]
-then in Rebirth Al initially used the Philosopher's Stone embeded in a ring, but later he acquired the Stone's powers thanks to lighzinium - a protective material layered on the Flash-ring by Barry
...
Additional notes: °although mostly it's been implied that Al's identity disorder wasn't caused by the Philosopher's Stone, The Flash #765 clearly states a connection between those two aspects °the ring from The Flash #764-766 resembles greatly the Dragon-Eye one back from #216
Tumblr media
°reaction-image
Tumblr media
°intriguing, but whenever Dr Alchemy appeared in Waid's Flash-run he has never been referred to by his name; NOT ONCE
In fact in Waid's run he looks a lot more like Alvin, although considering the Who's who in DC Universe we have to think it's actually Allbert
Tumblr media
°more interesting, The Flash vol 2 Annual 8 takes place right before Messner-Loebs' run and guess who's the villain of the week?
That's right, Dr Alchemy, whose name's never called out and in opposition to later issues we can't assume it's Albert under the mas--the hood
What's even funnier, present Wally's telling Linda that story, mentioning at the end "amazingly enough, Alchemy would eventually turn up again...and again that's another story"
If Wally'd be talking about #40-#41, then it's stupid cos Linda knows about that incident first hand cos she was there
°[*"The Man who sold the world" plays in the back*]
Tumblr media
Thug: So uhh mr Desmond, how much of that gold do we need to transform?
Albert:
