Will compromise work?

That's the question.

Clearly this is a melding of the factions that now make up Bob Jones University: academic (Gary knows the ins-and-outs of SACSCOC accreditation), ordained minister and student life (Benson), and old-school fundamentalist Baptist (McAllister signed the FBFI letter, after all).

While BJU likes to say that Alan Benson was a "diversity hire" (a laughable, BJU-esque conclusion), his role as BJU's post-Berg-and-post-Newton "Dean of Students" means he's been at the forefront of BJU's "standard" changes.

The kids like Benson. He doesn't have an evangelist's ego charm, but he's been in the pulpit for Chapel (more on that later). He's known.

Weier and Benson fulfill what Lonnie Polson was arguing. This is stable. The Board listened. Frankly, I'm surprised they did, but they did!

And now for Bruce McAllister. He was the Vintage Dedicatee in 2014. He "transitioned" his ministry office to Nathan Crockett in 2013. But in 2020, he's still listed as a member of the Administration in charge of "pastoral relations."

So he's been a BJU top diplomat to pastors. But he hasn't spoken at BJU since March 2015. He hasn't been listed in the catalogs as an administrator since 2017.

The conclusion of the matter is this: BJU had to pull someone from retirement in order to find a person with enough connections to the Original BJU™ to satisfy the FBFI crowd and who would be compliant with BJU.

McAllister is a nice enough guy. He's bland. He obeys. He complies. He's a compromise.

Will this compromise work? Time will tell.

Released: October 1987 Story: Mike W. Barr Art: Norm Breyfogle Lettering: John Costanza Colors: Julianna Ferriter Editing: Dennis O'Neil

Note: This comic hasn't been uploaded to dcuniverseinfinite.com so I don't have screenshots this time, just a link to a website that has the comic. I highly recommend using adblock for this one. Also, the continuity is a bit confusing in this one as it references past comics before this version of Jason's debut

batfam in random situations part 1 (?): airport

i’m so deep into batfam brainrot its kind of terrifying. so. uh. yeah. here is what i think they’re all like on a vacation that requires flight. for all intents and purposes, this is a commercial airline lets pretend the private jet that bruce so totally owns is out of commission. apologies if these are not accurate to their characters, i’m just having fun lol

for starters i definitely think bruce is that parent who’s super anal about getting to the airport on time

like the flight leaves at 8:30, bruce wants to get up at 2:30 and wake everyone else up with him

he’s got checklists for every kid cause every kid is different

i think this house looks like chaos - like think home alone when the mcallisters’ power goes out and they wake up late except the fam is just like that

i’d like to think duke is the most prepared out of all of them - he’s got his suitcase, his carryon, and the comfiest yet cutest airport clothes (cause you know the hot airport people you’re only ever gonna see once? duke dresses to be one of those people)

duke is getting dragged into the chaos though - one minute he’s sitting watching some avatar: the last airbender, next he’s being bombarded by dick asking if he’s gonna ge arrested for bringing shampoo thats only a little over 8 ounces (its like 8.00001)

“no, damian. you can’t bring alfred with you to france. ESPECIALLY not batcow!”

tim was supposed to pack last night. and he was going to, honest! but then the drug case he’d been tracking picked up some heat again and the time got away from him. so he ropes cass into helping him pack efficiently. she only agrees if he lets her have the window seat.

i feel like out of all of them, jason is not a flying kind of guy? like a part of me is really getting the vibe that jason hates to fly so he’s always gotta have some dramamine on him. that and some noise-canceling headphones.

window seat fans: dick, tim, cass, steph

aisle seaters: bruce, jason, duke, damian

middle seaters (not by choice): tim, and on occasion bruce

tim has never ONCE gotten a window seat when they fly

steph’s carryon is JAMPACKED with everything you could ever need. first aid, secret snacks, etc. she’s surprised it even fit with her.

dick always brings a double headphone adapter, so he forces whatever sibling he’s seated besides (usually tim) to watch his airplane movie of choice: crazy rich asians

unrelated but do you think to keep up appearances, bruce joined the mile high club? i think so but anyway back to our regularly scheduled program

there are more pictures of damian watching a movie on his green-cased tablet with big headphones than he would like there to be. most of these pictures exist on dick’s phone.

it’s a struggle to get tim to sleep at home but on flights? he sleeps like a mf’in baby. especially when it’s a night flight so the cabin is dark and comfortable with those pretty lights. yeah goodnight tim drake.

steph is not afraid to get up in an annoying kid’s face if he’s kicking her seat. she’ll fight.

one thing about duke? he’s gonna fuck up some in-flight snacks. sometimes he won’t even eat them on the flight, he’ll just buy a few bags of the peanuts and collect them as a snack for vacation. they work well for him if they go on walking tours that last all day

more pictures on dick’s phone that said subject wish didn’t exist: photos of jason conked out on bruce’s shoulder and he is most definitely drooling

dick HATES airplane bathrooms. he’d rather piss himself than relieve himself in one of those.

cass’s airplane playlist is fire. she even looks cool listening to it.

damian CANNOT be seated behind tim; thats just a recipe for a no-no. he WILL kick the seat and there WILL be blood. no exceptions.

i skipped ahead to the actual flight and not the airport whoopsies let’s go over that below

dick always gets nervous going through bag check - he’s always FINE but he worries that somehow he’s got something he shouldn’t in his bag (this is something i do i KNOW i don’t have anything i shouldnt but what if 20 kilos of cocaine suddenly just appeared in my suitcase?)

tim has definitely had airport sushi like that snl skit. didn’t end well.

remember how i said duke was one of those hot people you see at the airport that you never see again? cass is also one of those people. they are just a cool duo and the paparazzi pictures are lowkey an aesthetic

bruce does a roll call at least seven times. it’s necessary since they have left a kid at home before (it was tim. he was salty about it for at least a month and guilt tripped everyone into doing what he pleased because of it)

to pass the time before they board, steph and jason play cards. their favorites are war and speed.

jason plays wait for me (reprise) in his headphones everytime he walks on one of those horizontal escalator thingys

dick and steph like to impersonate the flight attendants when they do that safety walkthrough

the kids all race each other down that long hallway before they board

unless he goes with them, alfred’s vacation usually begins when bruce texts him that they’ve landed and are on the way to the hotel (which opens the door for other shenanigans i might do a part 2 after all)

okay i think thats all i have i think other scenarios i’d like to do are these:

batfam at a hotel

batfam going grocery shopping

batfam at a wayne gala

batfam on vacation

there are probably more but who knows. for all i know, i’ll never do another one of these again.

Now, with bonus Gladys and Larry and Bertha trying to get everything she wants always. (Which she will because I'm in charge.)

George paused, grinning; the idea of it was simply too delicious not to savor. "But to do that, I'm afraid I may need your help, my dear." "Name it." Bertha pressed herself up onto her toes to steal a kiss before leaning back in his arms again. "You know you need only to ask."

This article is fantastic. Back in the 60s, a teenager surveyed a bunch of famous authors over whether the symbolism in their novels was intentional. Many said it wasn't - and that the most interesting symbolism often came subconsciously and was only realized after.

I especially like the line comparing the search for symbolism with a Rorschach test. What people find is much more indicative of themselves than of the author's intention.

Music asks: 1, 4, 5, 13, 19, 20 (sorry not sorry to bombard you, but there were too many to choose from 🙂)

Ooooh, noooo, poor me... attention! How will I ever cope?!

Let's get done with this:

A song I liked as a child? Oh, the memories... let's go with a classic:

Pocahontas - I Colori Del Vento (I wasn't cool enough to watch it non-dubbed)

4. A song you’d put on a playlist for a character you love. I don't know what makes you think I have a playlist for characters...

Play Dirty - Kevin McAllister

5. A song you think most of your followers won’t have heard before. ... are you sure? Like, I can get so incredibly obnoxious about it. Anyway.

An Otherwise Sunny Day - FIlthy Thieving Bastards

13. A song from a performer you've seen live. Oh, boy. I'm lucky enough to have a hard time choosing one, but let's go with this one.

Jesse James (Just Ask) - Bruce Springsteen

19. A song that makes you emotional. Ok, look, I'm the kind of person who cries for anything and everything, so pick one and I will probably weep away because of how the music is poetry and so on... but anyway:

Better In The Morning - Birdtalker

Sometimes you fuck up and lose people, and sometimes you lose a song along with them. It sucks and it hurts, but the music is still amazing.

20. A song you'd put on a playlist for the person who sent you this ask. Tough call, but I'll try my best.

Heading West - Hadley Fraser

This was fun! Now... look out 😈

When BJU was strongly considering Bruce McAllister as the next prez, a BJU employee passed along something from their files. It's from 2010, I think they said. That's some time ago. But it's revealing.

A BJU alumnus in good standing reported that he dropped out of BJU's Masters in Ministry program because of what Bruce McAllister said at a Friendship Banquet.

I have always been a strong supporter and contributor to BJU. But I feel that there is no room for "reform" alumni or potential students at BJU. This was made clear to me when attending a BJU pastor's fellowship in another state. Bruce McCallister [sic] in his remarks, lambasted those who embraced the "doctrines of grace." Along with his comments, his attitude and demeanor got the message across and definitely made an impression on me. I went home that afternoon and started to make plans to withdraw from the MM program at BJU and transfer to another school which though is "reformed" does not arrogantly shoot down Arminians, Dispensationalists, etc.

Is President Crockett any better?

Matilda the Musical!AU with the Genshin children.

Matilda: Nahida. She’s a victim of abuse and canonically has mind-related powers.

Lavender: Klee. In the book she’s portrayed as more of a rebel, and while Klee is more innocent, she wouldn’t let an injustice stand.

Amanda Thripp: YaoYao. She’s the girly-girl of the group and wears the closest thing in canon to pigtails.

Bruce Bogtrotter: Qiqi. She’s not shown as a lover of food, but she *forgot* the cake wasn’t for her.

Hortense: Diona. She seems older than the rest and can be meaner, but never mean-spirited.

Nigel: Sayu, except the narcolepsy joke is for real.

Eric: Dori. I usually work her terrible scammer personality into a more neutral “mischievous kid who likes pulling pranks á la Kevin McAllister” thing, and Eric is shown to do that. Plus the ambition to grow up feels more up her alley.

And last but not least, the Trunchbull. Or better yet … the Knave.

Junto com seu amigo de escola Bruce McAllister, Gardner tinha como objetivo testar os limites da resistência humana para o projeto da feira de ciências de sua escola. A decisão sobre quem ficaria acordado foi feita por um lançamento de moeda, que…
