I don't know if you were planning on making any more but One Hell of a Good Bellhop is such a good fic and I would love to see more of it
(also I've been reading through your masterlist of posts so sorry for sending you so many notifs from liking them all) ❤️❤️
Charles smiles at the couple, eagerly looking through the clothes Danny had in the old employee lounge. Since they didn't have any more employees, the boy made the suggestion of setting up a gift shop, creating miniature nicknacks from the different eras he transformed the hotel into.
He sold costumes similar to whatever era he wanted the theme to be—this month, it was the Golden Age of Piracy, complete with a treasure hidden somewhere in the hotel for anyone to find—and the pirate costume could make a Hollywood costume designer weep with joy.
Charles didn't understand Danny's meta powers—not that he needed to. He figured he didn't need to. He just accepted that the boy could influence the hotel as if it were one of those video game home designs kids played.
He went to bed one night with the hotel Sally had adored so much falling apart, only to wake to it being in perfect condition, just like his memories. To find rooms set up with furniture and decoration that screamed wealthy—well, it just made his heart warm.
Especially when young people started wandering in, lured by Jazz and Danny walking the streets with flyers. It's been a long time since he saw the look of wonder in his guests' eyes as they took in his beloved hotel.
Danny seemed to really enjoy taking over the hotel. He somehow got the housing, the cooking, and the maintenance taken care of. He was always out of sight, but it let Charles sit at the front desk, resting his feet and watching life be breathed back into the hotel.
If Sally were alive, she would be sitting right next to him and cooing at the young couple holding up clothes against each other, faces flushed with love, as they try to select an outfit.
Despite being males, their excitement reminded him of his younger days when Sally and he would go on trips together whenever they stumbled across a bookshop.
His girl loved reading, while Charles had always fancied custom-made journals. Watching young people fall in love filled his heart with nostalgia; he was lonely.
Eventually, the couple finds what they like to wear for the pirate treasure hunt event and approaches the cash register, where Danny mysteriously appears. His young tenant was dressed in a black trench coat and skulled hat, looking like an authentic Black Beard pirate.
Charles has been watching the whole time, and despite it looking like he merely rounded the door behind the wall leading into the gift shop storage, Danny has literally blinked into existence.
Not that the two young men knew that. They merely paid for their outfits and what looked like a ship in a bottle. As soon as the payment was complete, Danny rounded the same wall and vanished. Charles turned his head to find Danny by the main entrance, holding the door open for a woman with a beaming smile.
He was now dressed to appear like a Cabin boy as he carefully led the new group to Charles for check-in. He didn't wait to hear the room number the group would be staying in before placing their luggage on a cart and vanishing down the hallway.
The woman and man with the three children looked alarmed, but Charles calmed them down by assuring them that their luggage would be waiting for them as soon as they were in their rooms. As he was finished adding them to the system, Danny reappeared to offer the startled couple a warm meal and hot chocolate for the kids.
Jazz, the sweetheart, taught Charles how to use the latest technology. She even modified the code to make the systems more user-friendly.
Charles was touched that she didn't fight his assistance to keep using a guest log book, even with their booking system, and went out of her way to find journals that fit Danny's chosen theme for the month. The kids seemed especially excited to write on parchment with quills afterward, as the adults were charmed by Danny's excellent cooking skills.
He was also in another outfit, this one looking more like a regular pirate member, though with a more green theme than the black of before.
"Are they triplets?" Mrs. Oblie asks as Danny fades from sight, only to appear at the gift shop, helping someone buy a signed treasure chest. He's back in a Black Beard outfit. "The three seem like hard workers."
Charles smiles. "It's the same person. Danny is a very hard worker."
"What?" Mr. Oblie gasps, twisting to stare at Danny and the direction in which Danny had taken their luggage. "How did he change clothes so quickly?"
"He was in the circus," Charles replies with a laugh. "He is used to quick changes. Plus, there are a lot of hidden passages way here."
He says the last bit like it's a big secret, winking at the children- one seems to be ten, the other seven- watching excitement bloom on their faces as they start looking around, attempting to spot the non-existent secret passages. The explanation isn't enough for Mrs. Oblie, but she doesn't argue further as she ushers her family into their room.
They will be down in a few hours so their kids can run around the hotel searching for a treasure. Mr. Oblie admitted over the phone that they hadn't had enough money for a vacation like he originally promised his eldest for her birthday, so this kid-friendly event was a lifesaver. Danny had claimed that it wasn't a lie- apparently, he can hear lies within the hotel, including the landline?- and had chosen to let the Oblie find some treasure even if they didn't win the main pot.
Charles wonders what face Mr.Oblie will make when his daughter finds the real diamond tiara that Danny set aside for her. Where on earth did the boy find something like that?
Charles didn't know and figured it was another part of Danny's meta abilities.
He turns towards the door, smiling as Jazz struts in. Her pantsuit is perfectly tailored, and her red hair falls gracefully behind her back. A few of the mingling guests are star-studded as she strides, her heels clicking on the ground like a bell.
If Danny was the ultimate bellhop who popped in and out of sight, Jazz was the hotel manager who commanded respect and awe. She was here for lunch, always arriving around one o'clock on the dot and the regulars who picked up on that fact always came down to get a glimpse of her.
Jazz and Danny were attractive siblings, but it wasn't mere looks that grabbed people's attention. They felt overwhelmingly alluring, like visiting Fae or a fallen star, as if somehow human but only just about.
Charles often wondered why someone like her was working as an assistant/secretary for an insurance company. She was far more capable than an entire management team.
She set up all their administration details. Charles had no idea how she could organize all their bills, supplies, advertisements, investments, and anything else he could think of for a business while booking appointments and filing claims for an entirely different company. To Charles, it was never about the money, but they were making a large amount now that the Fenotn children took over, and he offered her a position with better pay multiple times.
Jazz waved it away, saying she needed another job for her brother. He does suspect that she only stayed at Gotham Todd Insurance because of the young owner, whom her eyes tracked whenever Mr. Jason Todd walked through the building.
But Charles kept that theory to himself.
A soft clatter sounds from his elbow. Charles looks down to find a steaming plate of food, obviously done by Danny. He smiled at it, holding it up to Jazz as she neared. "Hi, sweetie; how's work going?"
"Hi, Grandpop," She beams, leaning over to hug him and gently kiss his cheek in greeting. "It's been a boring day. I finished this week's work in a few hours and just spent three hours preparing everything for Danny's next theme. Get this; he wants to do couples Cupid house for Valentine's Day."
She shakes her head fondly, in a way that reminds him so surreally of Sally that his heart squeezes. "Honestly, what goes through that guy's head?"
Charles beams back at her, hand curling around a glass of juice that zaps into existence in front of him like second nature. He hands it over to Jazz while she carefully cuts through her meatloaf.
"I think it's a wonderful idea," Charles tells her, leaning back in his chair. Jazz joins him as another plush chair appears at his side, and it takes him a moment to realize that Danny has restored the same club chairs from when the Gotham Fog Lodge originally opened.
These chairs were the ones that Charles and Sally used the first night they met by the fireplace of the hotel's main sitting room. They spoke for hours, and by the end of that night, he knew she was the one. Seeing the young lady he considered his granddaughter sitting in the same chair, Sally had adored so much, made her feel closer then ever before.
He wonders if he could die from how warm his heart glows.
"I think love is the greatest thing Gotham Fog Lodge can offer," Charles says, wiping some tears away. In return, jazz gives him a warmer smile, and Danny appears on his other side, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Gotham Fog Lodge is great because you're here, Grandpop," Danny says, seemingly unaware of how the hotel brightens when he speaks. "You were the only one who was kind to us when we got to Gotham."
Charles hugs the two rascals to hide the few tears that fall from happiness. He has no proof, but he's sure Sally sent these wonderful children his way. How else could a smuck like him be this lucky?
#dcxdpdabbles#dcxdp crossover#One Hell of a good Bellhop#Part 2#Charles' pov#The Fenton kids are odd in normal peoples eyes#Danny is at home in his new Haunt#There are some rules#Danny can't keep any of the wealth he creates like the dimonds terira but others can since his Obession is protection#Jazz be the CEO of life#Pre-anger managment#The Hotel is magic#And Charles loves his grandbabbies

DO IT NOW! LIVE IT NOW! MANIFEST IT NOW!

What would you be doing now if you had your manifestation?
• How would you live your day?
• How would you eat, walk, think, behave?
• How would you dress and talk?
• How would you interact with yourself?
• How would you interact with the world around you?
You actually don't need to see millions in your bank account to go "expensive" restaurants or luxurious places.
You don't need to have a shirt worth $10000 to feel wealthy.
You can make a $50 shirt look $1000 Because YOU ARE the ONE WEARING it.
You give it value
Also whatever you can imagine in your mind you can also hold it in your hands
So start! Just start
CHANGE THE STORY IN YOUR MIND!
THE MOMENT IS NOW!
This is your new reality!
Don't just do it for 10 minutes, but make it your lifestyle
This is your new way of living.
Sometimes, all you have to do is SHOW UP, just show up, and you will be surprised to find out how many people have been moving for you.
It's time to start BEING instead of trying
It's time to say bye to the old story
It's TIME

I didn’t sit here for years tryna stay calm and silent while listening to your bad takes on gale (who grew up oppressed, in poverty and then witnessed his entire district getting wiped out then rightly went to fight in the rebellion because it was his inlg chance of tearing down the system the wanted him and his family dead) being a “terrorist war criminal who is single handedly responsible for killing innocent people including prim and who is the REAL villain of the hunger games” just for y’all to turn and start stanning and defending actual facist dictator and child trafficker Coriolanus Snow because you saw a young hot version of him.
#i actually do enjoy coryo as a villain and liked his origin story but people are really making excuses for him? and they know what he became#gale hawthorne#the hunger games#anti coriolanus snow#tbosas#like even in tbosas he shows that he is a sociopathic narissist. he tries to be good but those traits are still there and he embraced them#as for gale he was oppressed his entire life and lived in the poorest part of panem and resents the rich who were complicit in his suffering#the things he does for the resistance were things he thought was neccessary to win to end oppression#the other option was losing the rebellion and getting tortured killed and allowing snow to cause a lot more suffering#do i agree w everything he does? no because he is a character with flaws but i dont blame him one bit for decisions after the genocide of 12#he has to live with the consequences of what happened during the war and what he had to do to survive#but he is not a bad person for fighting back and willing to kill to survive he also does not understand the toll it takes to have to kill#him and snow are the same age and they both choose survival but snow is choosing power for himself and restoring his families wealth#and gale is choosing to join the rebellion and willing to fight for the sake of the rest of his people and to put an end to the suffering#one creates an oppressive society and one is tearing down that society both do whatever it takes#wow i guess i have more thoughts on gales character than i originally thought and the comparisons with snow are interesting

Sunday Six!
Hellooooooooo people. Making my way through Infinite Wealth at a breakneck speed somehow (i'm on chapter 11) and honestly I've been having a great time. You know who's also having a pretty alright time?
Shinumi.
Even though when I made him I was like "nah he never runs into Kiryu that doesn't make sense," uh. here we are.
Anyway as accordance to IW i'm having soooooo many feelings about Kiryu and I need to get them out somehow. Don't think this will turn into anything but. Guh.
Tagging @passthroughtime @four-white-trees and @jichanxo
He’s used to this, at least. Many late nights in the Tojo Clan were spent comforting members of his family and others who had too many rough nights, or whatever reasons they wanted to give him.
To comfort the Dragon of Dojima is a task he wasn’t even sure he was up to.
He retreats into his apartment as his brain races, and he throws on an old coat that he buttons over his sleep shirt. He reopens the door as he slides on comfortable shoes, somewhat startling the older gentleman, who leaned against the railing.
“Sorry.” He shakes his head, getting rid of the last of his sleepy haze. “What usually helps me on nights like this is a walk.” He gestures down the stairs towards the open road that sprawls into neon lights on the horizon. “I promise there are no insane people that will crucify you in an alley. Everyone here is more sane than that.”
Kiryu scoffs at him, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. “Lead the way.”
#sunday six#infinite wealth spoilers#<- holy shit??? my first time using this tag????#does that mean this is gonna get caught by my spoiler filters. bc if so that's funny. this is my post#also using the spoiler tag even though. there aren't really any outright spoilers. outside that fucked up thing that shinumi references#can't believe tomi and ichiban got traumatized#anyway. kiryu is. guh. he. agh.#all of his stuff has been really great and. agh. he makes me wanna cry#just. the way that shinumi interacts with him is :miku:#and i think he can read kiryu pretty well just bc he's had to deal with. so many difficult people.#yakuza who don't want to admit they're struggling. his patriarch. his patriarch's brother. daigo (maybe?). the judgment gang. i could go on#kiryu ain't the first soul he's helped and he won't be the last#i'll never be normal about this guy <- she created him#tho. everyone should be insane about their OCs. it's healthy for them.#shinumi my boy shinumi

let us remember that marriage is intrinsically tied to capitalism and exists in its current form so that property could be passed through patrilineal lines. the only way a man could ensure that a woman was having HIS baby was to make her his property. and that was so important when wealth and status was tied to property so it was necessary to have a (male) heir to pass it down to. i am not against marriage as a concept but we need to remember that it IS an oppressive institution for women and women should consider it w that in mind. the patriarchal roots of our existing marriage institution have not been erased even with the progress that has been made.
#michelle speaks#this is why divorce and easy access to divorce is so necessary#if women are going to engage in marriage they HAVE to be able to leave it bc of how oppressive it is to them#but this is why the presumption of legitimacy existed. which is that if a woman is married the baby is presumptively her husband’s even if#it wasn’t. it used to be that this presumption could not be overcome AT ALL even if the man was not around when the baby was conceived#bc all of it was abt creating heirs it didn’t even matter if they baby was actually his as long as it appeared to be#captialism and patriarchy TRULY the two roots of all evil. lol.#but of course MEN could have illegitimate children outside of the marriage who he never had to do anything for#bc they were illegitimate and therefore would not inherit the property/wealth#so some woman outside of the marriage likely poorly considered by society and without means due to being an unmarried woman#would have to raise these illegitimate children alone w/o any help from the man who fathered them.#i don’t even hate marriage i would like to get married one day but i will be getting GAY married first of all & second it doesn’t erase the#patriarchal roots of it all which makes me angry etc i have to get back to reading bye

Unpopular opinion: people don't get to choose what kind of family they're born into, and this includes people whose families have more wealth. But people do choose whether or not to be assholes to those people, based on stereotypes and presumptions (about ego, attitude, etc) that may or may not actually be true for that person. And in those cases, the person with the wealth isn't the issue.
I know someone who got an inheritance and every time we talked about it, they started crying. They felt so guilty because they didn't "deserve the money" and they knew how hard it is for someone to get that amount, and they just wanted their parents back.
Don't be an asshole to someone based on the circumstances of their birth, period.
#this goes BOTH WAYS#also because i think it has to be said: someone coming from a wealthier family doesn't mean their life wasn't shit or full of hardship#like illnesses abuse etc#we don't get to make a bunch of statements about them as a person just because they have x amount of money. we have no proof of any of it#they CAN be grateful humble etc if they come from a wealthier family because it doesn't automatically mean they don't have to work hard#i'm sure a lot of em are acutely aware of how impossible it is for the average earner to get a certain amount of wealth#because they were literally in that position themselves before getting whatever wealth that was given to them#like. i'm super bitter about the overall wealth inequality situation in general it's insane#but blaming individual people who had no role in creating the problem is wrong. even if they gave away their 100ks what would it do?#it's a systemic issue and tbh if i had wealth to give to my kids i'd want THEM to use it to have a more comfortable life#and that's not selfish or wrong#okay that's all thx#money#wealth#bullying#stereotypes

The stark brutality of chattel slavery is absent in today's world, but the systemic inequities and hidden forms of economic control persist, albeit in different forms. By comparing the conditions of historic slaves with modern working-class people it becomes apparent that economic exploitation and wealth disparity need to be at the forefront of today's political discourse.
Continuities:
Labor exploitation: Both systems extract disproportionate value from a specific group's labor for the benefit of others. Slaves were forced to work without compensation, while many modern workers face low wages, precarious employment, and limited bargaining power, leaving them susceptible to exploitation.
Wealth disparity: Both systems exacerbate wealth inequality. Slaves had no ownership of their labor or its fruits, while the wealth generated by modern workers often concentrates at the top of the economic pyramid, creating a widening gap between rich and poor.
Limited mobility: Both systems restrict upward mobility for the exploited group. Slaves were legally bound to their owners, while modern systemic barriers like discriminatory hiring practices, inadequate education, and debt-based control can confine individuals to lower economic strata.
Psychological impact: Both systems can inflict psychological harm. Slaves endured constant dehumanization and fear of violence, while modern workers can face chronic stress, anxiety, and powerlessness due to precarious employment and economic insecurity.
Transformations:
Formal freedom: Modern workers have legal freedoms and autonomy denied to slaves. They can choose their employers, negotiate wages, and participate in civic life.
Social mobility channels: While limited, some avenues for upward mobility exist in modern society through education, skills training, and entrepreneurial ventures, which were largely unavailable to slaves.
Social safety nets: Modern societies typically have some form of social safety net, albeit often inadequate, providing limited protections like unemployment benefits or healthcare access, which were absent for slaves.
Transformation of control: Control in modern systems is often more subtle and diffuse, operating through debt, lack of ownership, and market forces rather than overt coercion.
Hidden "Economic Slavery":
The concept of "economic slavery" suggests that modern systems can still perpetuate forms of exploitation similar to historical slavery, albeit less visibly. This can manifest in:
Debt traps: Predatory lending practices and high-interest rates can trap individuals in cycles of debt, effectively controlling their labor and choices.
Wage theft: Employers who deny overtime pay, minimum wage, or other earned wages essentially steal from their workers.
Exploitative labor practices: In some industries, migrant workers or marginalized groups face unsafe working conditions, low wages, and limited legal protections, resembling forms of forced labor.
Limited ownership: Lack of access to affordable housing, land, or productive assets limits economic agency and perpetuates dependence on wage labor.
Unveiling and Addressing Systemic Inequities:
Acknowledging the continuities and transformations is crucial for addressing the enduring legacies of economic exploitation. We need to:
Strengthen workers' rights: Promote fair wages, secure employment, and protections against exploitation.
Reduce wealth inequality: Implement progressive taxation, address wage gaps, and promote wealth-building opportunities for marginalized groups.
Increase social mobility: Invest in education, training, and infrastructure to provide equal opportunity for upward mobility.
Challenge systemic biases: Address discriminatory practices in hiring, lending, and access to resources.
Support worker movements: Encourage worker organization and collective bargaining to empower workers and advocate for their rights.
By recognizing the hidden forms of economic control and tackling their root causes, we can work towards a more equitable future where everyone has the opportunity to benefit from their labor and participate fully in society.

doodle of some first generation style genelines that prioritized style over function. you can still see these patterns emerge in the modern era, and its not unheard of for well preserved citadels to still have the technology to make designer babies like this. however a lot of loamcats find it impractical, wasteful, and sacrilegious (or adjacent) to use the technology for something so surface-level
#labz.txt#ghost's art tag#setting: tnnerp#species: loamcat#spec bio#speculative biology#basically being one of these guys in the modern era means youre a living symbol of your parent family's hubris and excessive wealth#though it depends on culture and circumstance if youll be shunned for it#a lot of citadels with these capabilities will utilize this gene editing technology solely for healthcare reasons#or to create artificial genetic diversity in a species with a dwindling population#to solely use it for aesthetics goes against a lot of culturally engineered attitudes about responsible use of technology
