#street begging

[inkskinned]

i had a dream last night that i organized a tumblr meetup and we all agreed to go to a local bar together. so i go to the bar but it was a really busy night and i didn't want to ask every stranger "are u here for tumblr reasons" bc that's embarrassing and i'm shy. so i just got a drink and felt very awkward & hoped someone would approach me. tried to look inviting and like i was from tumblr but not like i was "from tumblr". when i left some girl stopped me to ask if i was there for the meetup but i was too shy and asked what's tumblr?

in the dream i went home to make a post about how nobody showed up to the tumblr meetup but my entire dash was people saying they'd gone to the bar but were too fucking shy to admit to being on tumblr so we'd all just had a drink and gone home

“58 Indigents Sent to Jail,” Windsor Star. October 18, 1938. Page 2. --- ON BEGGING CHARGE --- Tin Can Arrests Total 118 at Vancouver --- VANCOUVER, Oct. 18 - Fifty-eight single unemployed men found themselves in prison cells today serving sentences ranging from four to six months as authorities moved to forestall a renewal of mass begging on Vancouver streets.

Arrests for soliciting funds with tin cans m downtown Vancouver total 118 since Saturday. The men asked citizens for money to feed and keep themselves until winter relief projects were launched by the government. 

Men standing on street corners with tin cans in their hands and placards on their backs renewed scenes first seen here early last summer when an organized unemployment movement was seeking funds for a trek to Victoria to lay demands for relief works projects before the British Columbia Government. 

Jobless made the Victoria trek after their eviction from the post office and civic arts gallery June 19 after a month-long sit-down strike. A riot after the eviction caused extensive property damage. 

After a series of interviews with the provincial government, unemployed residents of British Columbia were given temporary relief until the fall harvest season began. Men from other provinces were given transportation to their homes.

Red Hood finds Nightwing in the throes of fear toxin, babbling about missed calls and text messages.

buck and eddie are so fucking funny because it’s like. on a very real level they are very difficult people to be in intimate relationships with. that’s just text. what makes them HYSTERICAL is their reactions to that fact. they defend each other sooo insanely like um?you’re not even going to wear a matching costume with my boy? you’re not even going to kiss his beautiful forehead and heave him into your arms from where he was buried alive/shot/under a fire truck? Well Fine. I Will Do It. Since You Are So Fucking Complicated 🙄

I know this is the performative activism website but it’s actually horrible to see a bunch of north americans clapping for a murderous dictator just because he SAYS he is leftist. Dictators don’t deal in left or right. Both his hands are covered in blood.

Let’s listen to the people of Venezuela, MILLIONS who had to go into exile, millions who saw their families die of hunger or lack of medical resources when they live in one of the richest countries in the world in natural resources, about how life under a dictatorial regime actually is and stop projecting our local political realities over the enormous suffering of people who are asking for your help.

Things I NEED y'all to stop putting in Jason fics:

"Since Red Hood arrived, he cleaned up Crime Alley better than Batman ever has" First of all, this is not even the case in the comics, so y'all are making this up to make Jason's way "the right way". Second of all, if murdering criminals violently worked better, then that's what the cops would be doing, because, new flash, but the gov used to be way more violent, and crimes were worse, and the gov had to lower its violence, because we know it doesn't work and the gov didn't have enough good excuses to continue. If you think they are not waiting for an excuse to violently kill people, you are wrong. So, stop writing that shit, it's borderline fascist propaganda (violence is the only way to keep power/peace, so free real estate for us to kill anyone we label as criminals) You do not need to find excuses for Jason.

"Crime Alley is Jason's territory and the Bats cannot enter it without his permission" Also, not canon, never was. Are you all forgetting that Bruce's parents died in Crime Alley? That's how it got its name. It's where Batman was born. It's where Bruce goes to mourn his parents during patrols. It's an important location for the Batfam as a whole. It's where Dick thinks his siblings are not authorized to fight when Bruce is "dead"/gone because it is insulting Bruce's memory. It's the meeting points the Bats use multiple times. Batman's first night was probably in Crime Alley. Crime Alley is the mission, to make it a better place for its inhabitants is Bruce's goal. He is shown multiple times to be very protective of its people, especially in front of powerful figures (politicians/rich). As much as Bruce loves Jason, he would not give up Crime Alley. Yes, Jason grew up in Crime Alley, but Crime Alley was Bruce's before Jason was even born.

"Crime Alley hates the bats, except for Red Hood" Again, Batman has been protecting the people of Crime Alley since he started. He was the only one who fought for them against the people that hurt them, the cops not giving a fuck about the poor. Like, stop trying to paint Bruce as a rich guy disconnected from the people, that's not who he is and who he ever was (except for some storylines, but like, fuck these storylines). He has not live their struggles, but he has studied it, he cares about it. And, I can understand that not everyone in Gotham and Crime Alley likes Batman, of course. But to make children dislike Robin or NIGHTWING??? Dick's whole thing is how he is always everyone's favorite. He's an acrobat, he is flying with grace in the sky without powers, he is all smile and gentleness with children, no fucking way children don't like him.

"Dick killed the Joker for Jason." No, he killed the Joker in an act of rage and fear when he had Tim and threatened to kill him like the last one. BUT ALSO, and this is really important, DICK WAS HORRIFIED about what he had done. He hated himself and self-isolated, refused to listen to Bruce and Barbara when they tried to comfort him. This is not something he is proud of. Dick wouldn't be like "Yeah, I killed the Joker, but you know Bruce... I don't regret it." He does regret it. Bruce forgave him way faster than Dick forgave himself for killing the Joker. He would not do it again if he could, that's why it only happened once.

"Jason is mad at Bruce for being too late to save him." Nope. In Under The Red Hood, Jason literally tells Bruce he forgives him for not saving him. Jason was NEVER angry at Bruce for not saving him. Jason is mad because he thinks Bruce doesn't care about him. If Tim hadn't taken the Robin's mantle, Jason probably would have gone home, because that's what hurt him the most, the possibility that he was replaced in Bruce's eyes.

"Jason ran away because Bruce believed he killed someone" It was never explicit if Bruce did believe Jason pushed the rapist. But also, no. When Jason ran away, Bruce just benched him as Robin because he saw that Jason was hurting and needed help, and being a vigilante wasn't helping. Pls, read Death In The Family, Bruce was trying his best to support Jason and help him. Jason being violent at times is a sign, for Bruce, that Jason is hurting. He doesn't villanize Jason's actions. Don't be like DC writers and forget that Bruce knows that violence and aggression come from pain.

"The memorial is Bruce's making and Alfred hates it" WRONG, it's the contrary. Alfred made the memorial, Bruce was against it. Please, stop putting all the blame on Bruce and making Alfred perfect. Bruce hates the memorials, he hates his sons being remembered as soldiers. He put up with the memorials because it's Alfred. (I am so tired from y'all blaming Bruce for this one, omg) Also, while we are it, Alfred doesn't put up with Jason's bs. Jason can criticize Bruce, but there's a limit for Alfred.

Ok time for random questions bout ur fic

I kinda forget how old Tim’s body was when he regressed so I always just picture twenty somethin yr old Tim countin down the days until he’s old enough to go out on the streets safely without gettin himself killed. Just pacin up and down the halls while seethin at the bars of his enclosure (Lucius put him back in to try to get him to sleep)

Now that Barbara is finally managing to get footage of Tim bc Tim finally started going out as Cardinal is there any chance that they’ll manage to get footage of Cardinal fighting?

More specifically is there any chance they might see Cardinal fighting and recognize his fighting style? Not in the sense that ‘oh that’s Timothy Drake!’ but more in the sense that ‘hold on this mf was trained by Lady Shiva!’ or ‘…why does he fight like one of us?’

YAYYY More questions!!

Tim was about to turn 18 when he died and was suddenly booted back to being like 4/5 and FUMING- But there was legit a time where he was knawing at the bars knowing that he needed to wait until he was at least like 14 before actually going on feild in Gotham lest be called out for being a literal child on the spot.

They do have footage of him fighting! But only blurry shaky footage from civillians (Cardinal has tech that shorts out security cameras they get anywhere close to) but still they have analyzed what they have and YES.

There is definently some advanced technique stuff, things that feel reminiscent of the leauge and maybe even a hint of Lady Shiva. But overall Tim is a modge podge of so many different fighting styles (add on the fact hes no longer as trained as he once was and had to basically reteach himself) its hard to tell.
