◈ @talkawayknight said: ❛ 👀 anri??? :] ❜ // send me a 👀

A name cuts through the perpetual roar of vacuity, dredging Anri from the bleak waters of distraction.

“Creighton… Creighton is here?” How her dreamy countenance brightened at the possibility, focus sharpening features that often remained star-flung and faraway. “No. No, of course not. He wouldn’t approve, would he? No, no…”

Her noble husband was a prowling creature, shrouded in the dark of his own creation. Anri could not conjure the image of him to her mind, could scarcely discern his outline even when he stood within arm’s reach – or loomed frigid and formidable over her. Less a person, and more of a feeling. A missed step in the dark, a shadow hovering in the corner of her gaze. Haunting, hallowed.

At the thought of his horror, the Lady of Hollows tugged fretfully at her thinning fringe. Like any creature of the deep water, she is half-numb, half-blind. One eye hung like a moon in its socket, clouded over, filmy and unseeing. It had been pierced by the sword that bound them, in a marital ritual unlike any other. No rings exchanged, no solemn-spoken vows, only the tip of a blade teasing through the slit in her visor. If only she had known what would come of her surrender, if only she had been stronger. If only she had listened to Creighton, and found her worth outside of another’s skin. Perhaps then she would not live as a husk, in the painful twilight of dying dreams.

“You would know him if you laid eyes upon him. Creighton, I mean. A most beloved friend and stalwart companion. Dear Creighton…”

Memories of his coarse voice, full of character and emotion, shaped by the cleft, brought a tremulous smile to Anri’s bruised lips. There was a warmth to her friend, one that seemed to soak through his very gauntlets to stain her hands. Slender fingers, rot-kissed and blackening at the tips, twitched as they recalled his amicable touch, his fumbling fondness.

“His hair is white as a heron’s throat, a cascade of snowy waves. In my hands, it felt akin to the locks of another I loved… the same weight, the same texture…”

Horace. His name was balanced like a knife’s dull edge on her tongue, his image was now beyond her sight, steadily eroding with time and decay. The process of Hollowing slowly carved her out, reducing her to a vessel. It robbed Anri of the beauty of the men’s contrast, all swan wings and raven feathers.

“His flesh is a living tapestry, home to a most peculiar mottling. I never understood the origin of those sublime smudges, and was much too timid to ask. I would have been loath to offend him with my curiosity.”

In her regret, agitation. Tension twisted and knotted in her gentle voice until it trembled.

“His eyes are meltwater. Blue can be a frightfully cold colour, but his shade is not so. Not even his faithful mask can disguise their warmth, his tenderness…” His love came without stipulation, without demand – platonic and gentle, but nonetheless fervent. Anri shivered and sighed, fussing again with her fringe, her braids fraying, falling dull and lank to her shoulders. “You mustn’t make mention to the Lord of the Dark. It would kindle fury in his breast – ignite his ire – and you know the anvil against which he pummels his woes.”

Then it came, a moment of terrible lucidity. Anri blinked, her sightful eye shifting into full focus, drifting over the four walls that enclosed her, shadow-drenched and touched with mildew. A cage, barren save for her, for the sparse and lonely trappings of ladyhood.

“Creighton…?”

Silence, of course, was her only answer.

#i’m sorry this came out so sad :’)#creighton is so beautiful in anri’s eyes that it was hard to keep her from going on and on #She adores his cleft and his pale freckles #and his hands!#they are perfect for holding #◈ — answered #talkawayknight #◈ — ic; anri #cw: eye injury

Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.

Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.

He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.

Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.

But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.

Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.

Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.

So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?

Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.

Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.

Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.

Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.

Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.

Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.

But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?

Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.

Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.

So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.

Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.

At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.

The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.

Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.

All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.

Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.

But by GOD is he trying.

#batman #bruce wayne #laws of this dc universe say Gotham is always a hellcity #and bruce wayne is always filthy rich #bruce wayne is fighting with everything he has against both those facts #he’s not going to win #but he’s not going to stop either #bruce crying with fistfuls of money in his hands: take it. PLEASE #the public: donate more???

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken
