414 Day

It’s 414 Day, or Milwaukee Day! We celebrate Milwaukee on April 14 because the area code for the Milwaukee area is, you guessed it, 414! This year for 414 day we are celebrating a few of the spectacular movie palaces in Milwaukee that still act as theatres in some capacity today. 

First shown here is Downer Theatre, located at 2589 N. Downer Ave on Milwaukee’s East Side. The Downer Theatre is Milwaukee’s oldest operating movie theatre in Milwaukee. It opened in 1915 and has been a movie theatre ever since! It may have a tile front now and a different marquee, but at its heart it is still a fine old movie theatre. 

The second theatre shown here is the inside of Riverside Theater, located at 116 W Wisconsin Ave, opened in 1928 as a live performance center, and was a first-run movie theatre in the 1950s. Today, it is once again a live music and performance venue with a capacity of 2,450 people. 

The third theatre shown here is the crème de la crème: the Warner Grand Theatre, located at 212 W. Wisconsin Ave. This theatre was opened in 1931 in place of the opulent Butterfly Theatre that once stood in its location. The theatre cost $2.5 million to build and was considered the most beautiful in the city. It continued as a movie theatre until the mid-1990s when it closed. In 2017, the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra (MSO) purchased the theatre and renovated it back to its original glory. The theatre opened again in 2021 as the home of the MSO now called the Bradley Symphony Center, and it is gorgeous! 

There are other movie palaces still in use in Milwaukee, too, like the famous Oriental Theatre on the East Side, which underwent its own renovation in recent years, and the Avalon Theater in Bay View, which offers an “atmospheric” experience with a starry sky lit in the ceiling in the main theatre. 

All of the images in black and white are from Milwaukee Movie Palaces by Larry Widen and Judi Anderson, published in 1986 by Milwaukee County Historical Society. 

These theatres are part of Milwaukee’s history as well as a part of their present! I highly recommend visiting any one of them for a movie or performance soon.

Bikini Kill // Riverside Theater, Milwaukee, WI // April 19, 2023

[mercuryal]

One of Milwaukee’s best music venues, Cactus Club, was contacted by Live Nation, and as club owner Kelsey Kaufmann explains in this tiktok- harassed her about Milwaukee’s Deer District double venue complex planned to begin building in 2023, a project that she vocally does not support.

A rep from Live Nation, the $18+BIL company who also bought up a large portion of Madison’s music venues in 2018, and is, as you should remember, also the same company at the center of the Astroworld tragedy that killed 10- called Kelsey and became antagonistic when she was critical of the proposed double venue project across from one of Milwaukee’s other historic venues, Turner Hall.

Despite a growing movement against the project other venues formed a group called Save MKE’s Music Scene, which made a petition from Concerned Downtown Neighbors, and has nearly 10k signatures, the Milwaukee Common Council last week on October 25 voted to recommend zoning, so this project is all but inevitable- and is slated to open in early 2024. The Council will likely go forward with full approval tomorrow, November 1.

Besides building a new complex FPC Live/Live Nation/Ticketmaster are attempting to attain through hostile tactics a monopoly of Milwaukee’s music scene, as it did in Madison, and will continue here the company’s long history of labor violations, wage theft, and sheer incompetence culminating is dangerously unsafe environments that put their workers and audience lives at risk.

Monologue of the character Helena to Hermia, from William Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, a fantasy romantic comedy written in the 1590s, one of the earlier plays of his career and one of only a few with no prior literary or historical source for the plot

Expressions of same-sex affection can be found throughout Shakespeare’s sonnets and plays, including The Merchant of Venice, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Coriolanus, and Two Noble Kinsmen. However, the Renaissance did not have the modern concepts of sexual identity and sexual orientation that we have inherited from 19th- and early 20th-century theories of human sexuality and psychology. Hence nobody in this period would have conceived of themselves in terms of modern sexual categories such as heterosexual and homosexual, or gay and straight. The challenge in reading passages such as this is to understand the personal, social, and political significance of same-sex relationships in Renaissance culture without applying anachronistic labels or standards of judgment. In Renaissance England, intimate relationships between women were generally accepted as long as they did not interfere with the women’s conventional sexual and social duties: getting married, having children, maintaining chastity, and behaving in an appropriately feminine manner. In A Midsummer Night’s Dream and As You Like It, adolescent female friendships finally give way to the new bonds between husbands and wives that signal entry into adulthood. However, being married did not prevent adult women from maintaining or establishing affectionate intimacies with other women through relationships of friendship, patronage, or service.

Actually I must resign to the fact that The Country Wife (1675) by William Wycherley is unfortunately hilarious

Black Out Days

Gale x F! Tav

18+ chronic pain, drug use (weed), unintentional aphrodisiac (slutweed), groping, dry humping, breast worship (f!), fingering (f!), body caging, roughness, sub/dom, tenderness

Tav's pain rising to an unbearable level, she indulges in some found herbs to find relief. But her sanctuary is laced with some heated side effects...

Masterlist

-

"Please, please I've had enough." She moaned, head resting against cool river stones.

The pain had been spiking over the base of her skull all day in excruciating arcs. It was all she could do to keep her eyes open, force her face to be impassive.

Between every horrible thing that had been happening to them, her chronic pain was her own burden to bear. She hadn't told anyone besides Halsin, the sweet man helped her as much as he could with what was available.

Nothing made her feel worse than being a burden, so she trudged on in silence. Still the leader they needed. Gods only know how she ended up in that position in the first place.

Crouching at the riverside, she gripped at slick stones, whimpering. Finally letting go of her lovingly crafted mask of health. Wanting to slam her insolent head into the earth, but knew that would offer no relief.

Scrambling hands reached into her pack. At the goblin camp, she had pocketed a jar of promising looking herbs.

She brought the unsealed jar to her nose.

Musky, sweet, near sulphuric.

Yes, praise the Gods. Halfling weed.

Packing Halsins borrowed pipe, she leaned back on haunches, the new movement making her stomach spin threateningly. If she could stretch this supply out it could sustain her, at least until she could slip into to an apothecary.

Flicking her fingers, she brought a small flame to the bowl. Breathing in slowly.

As soon as the smoke met her lungs, a spreading warmth caressed up the back of her spine. Gentle fingers splaying up, cradling the base of her skull. The agony dulling into a veiled hissing. Still crouched in the grass, but far from where she sat.

Tears of relief fell down her face. Gods, she could breath again. Body pulled down deliciously yet so much lighter.

She sighed, leaning her head back. Taking a moment to get lost in the crisp night air, the sounds of moving water, insects calling for one another in the dark. Finally able to perceive more than her anguish.

Standing, she headed back towards the orange point of their campfire. Body awash in calm.

As she re-entered their little world a new sensation sidled up to her spreaded peace.

A soothing heat slipped down her front, pressing an insistent touch inside of her pelvis.

Oh.

Kneeling near the campfire, she examined the jar more thoroughly. Lifting the bottom, she found a small scuffed label written in scratchy hand.

Halfing Weed; Succubus Spittle 5%

Hissing a breath between her teeth, she closed her eyes in defeat. Fucking goblins.

Slick already pooling between her legs, she groaned in frustration. Of course her savior came with a demand.

Already, she knew this was not nearly enough to deter her from the alternative. But it didn't make it any less vexing.

Hips already rocking against nothing, she was infinitely thankful that the camp had turned in for the night. Even Astarion off hunting for a few hours, at least.

Especially him, she knew he had the skills she needed in this moment. But she didn't want to do that to him. From one veiled mask to another, she could tell he didn't want her that way.

Dizzy with heat, she rose to head to her tent. More than willing to deal with this desire alone. She had a sure hand and a vivid imagination, it would be an easy burden to bear.

Her infatuation with the wizard could be tonight's theater of the mind. Wide shoulders, soft brown eyes, hair that brushed against his clavicle. The veins in his forearms when he pushed up his sleeves, large hands twisting and pulling with blue magic.

She moaned, and clapped her hand over her mouth.

Reign yourself in, Tav. Gods.

As if summoning him from her salacious imagination, he emerged from his tent.

Drowsily greeting her, he wandered towards the water pump, kneeling next to it. Pulling the lever, he opened his mouth and started swallowing what of the divulge of water he could catch.

She stood stock still, watching this innocuous moment like a wolf watches a rabbit. The desire pooled in her pelvis boiling over.

Wiping his mouth, he rose back to feet. Seeming to fully see her then.

"Tav, you alright? You seem a little flushed, in a haunted type of way."

Gods forgive her for what she was about to do.

Taking his hand, she wordlessly pulled him into his tent.

"What-" Her body cut him off, pressing hard into his.

Running her hands up his taut back, she buried her face into his neck. The curve of his waist bending up into shoulders making her moan softly.

He was so warm, so solid against her pushing. Smelling of old books and leather. Her hand rising to tangle into his hair, tugging gently.

His body seemed to go weak then, gripping onto her for support.

"Tav, Gods..." He shivered.

His voice bringing her back to herself for a moment, she made to pull away. But his hands held her anchor to him.

"Please, don't stop." He pleaded.

Like a flint sparking, she dove back in. Hips fluid and insistent against his. Gathering his sleep shirt in her demanding hands. Pulling his head back to release his neck to her. Pulsing, biting, suckling into the soft flesh.

The herb removing all inhibition, she was a growling animal against him. Hands pinning and pulling, mouth hungry and salivating.

He fell to knees, and she followed him down. Straddling over his lap, licking an obscene line up his panting throat.

His length already a pillar pushing against her. Hands catching her writhing hips, pulling them flush to him.

Her head fell back then, the friction Gods sent. The slick already pooled in her underclothes welcoming him.

Something seemed to snap in him.

His hands wrenched her sleep shirt over her shoulders. Caging over her body, pushing her down on his bedroll.

"Yes," She moaned, falling open for him.

His mouth pushed into hers, gripping the back of her head.

The heat coming off of him was making her head spin. Intoxicating her body into liquid, crashing against him in waves. All smothered soft calls and silent demanding mouths.

Tangling into him like it was all she knew. All her body could know was getting as close as she could without being inside.

He hitched her leg up over his hip and ground down hard. Groaning in the back of his throat. Chest lit up purple, eyes glowing.

Concern arced through her stifling heat.

She cupped the sides of his face, bringing his eyes to hers.

The question in her eyes reached him. Hips still pistoning, he nodded.

"Please, I want to."

"Then take what you want." She gasped out, leading his head down.

He dove on her breast, licking her hard tip into his warm mouth.

"Fuck," She hissed, back arching.

She tried to reach for his sleep pants but his hand caught her wrist, forcing it above her head.

Pushing her underclothes down her hips, he rubbed hard against her clit. Blurring his hand.

Choking out a moan, she writhed helplessly. His body keeping her pinned and open. Splayed fully against him.

His mouth switched sides, taking up her soft untouched breast. The slurping suckle his tongue pulled against her peak making her mewl.

"Please, Gale. Inside." She pleaded, bucking her hips as much as his hold would allow.

He pushed two fingers inside her, moan muffled against her flesh.

"You're so wet," He groaned.

"You. All you." She moaned, sentences and their structures utterly lost.

But those words must have been more than enough. His fingers began slamming inside her, hooking towards her navel.

Her head fell back, gripping his head to her breast. The force of his fingers rocking her back and forth.

He was the tide and she a ship, unanchored and tossing through the waves.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" She whined as the pressure in her pelvis tilted up, threatening collapse.

He pulled her engorged peak between his teeth and she was thrown overboard.

Her legs arched up, clamping around his hips. Back bending, the force of the pleasure striking through her was near agony. Completely stealing her voice away, only gasping out choking silent cries. The herbs making her reach new heights, unwinding like a tapestry pulled. Clenching hard enough around his fingers to make him groan.

She collapsed under him, head lolling. Eyes glazed and rolling.

He pulled his fingers from her, licking them clean. Leaning down to nuzzle into her neck, his beard tickling her.

"You didn't-" She started weakly.

"With the state of the orb, I think it's in all of our best interests if I obstained."

"Besides," He hummed, kissing under her jaw. "Your pleasure has more than sustained me."

"Though I am curious, what brought on this most welcome intrusion?"

She hesitated. Not wanting another person, especially him, who has so much to hurdle over already, to worry about her.

"It's this... pain I have. I found some soothing herbs and they helped. A lot actually. But with other effects."

She pulled the small jar from her strewn trousers, handing it to him.

Immediately he flipped it over to examine the bottom, and she groaned in embarrassment.

"See, that's exactly what I didn't do."

Grabbing for her shirt she instead landed on his, pulling it over her head.

He smiled at her, eyes lit up with appreciative glint.

"Ah, of course it looks better on you."

"Cozy." She sighed, the velvet material warming her through. Sleeves swallowing her hands.

He reached inside her pocket and retrieved the pipe, sparking up his fingers and bringing it to his lips.

Seeing her shock, he smiled.

"You're not the only one fighting pain." He knocked his knuckles on the burned circle in his chest.

"Besides, you seemed to be in a peaceful state. I'd like to meet you there, if you'd allow me."

"Deal." She smiled, sliding on knees to sidle up close to him again. "But only if you let me stay the night."

"Oh, you drive a hard bargain." He smiled at her, scrunching up his nose in that playful way that made her heart gallop.

As soon as he breathed in, she held his chin in her fingers. Pulling his mouth to hers, breathing in the smoke as it left him.

Starting to relax, he pulled her down with him. Sighing contently as she snuggled into him.

"Oh, careful. I could get very used to this."

I pictured AK!Jason in a date with his s/o at nights, specifically when he doesn't risks his ass off to fight some thugs or keep Gotham's little order, I would picture him in one of those fancy (or not so) restaurants where you can listen to live jazz music and the kind of restaurant with the small scented candles on the middle of the table with some glasses of wine.

By this, what kind of dates would AK!Jason enjoy when going out with his s/o?

Your restaurant description reminds me of a place I found while replaying: Riverside Lounge in Grand Avenue Station on Miagani Island. It caught my eye because it looks like a great date spot 😉

While AK Jay is uncomfortable showing his branded face in public, he also likes to show you off while showing you a good time, so getting to enjoy good food, wine, and music at a laid-back joint with muted lighting, a casual dress code, and live performers who can take the crowd's attention off of his beloathed J is an acceptable date in his book. (Bonus points if the restaurant's a hidden gem in his old neighborhood.)

If he's gotta go out for the date, he also enjoys taking you to the community theater for a live performance (again, Park Row spots are preferred.)

Eventually he realizes that when you're at his side, he doesn't have to worry about stares because all eyes are on you. So you get to show him off on your arm at glamorous spots with formal dress codes where you get to dress up like a celeb at film premiere and he's forced to wear a tailored suit 😍 He's still gonna slouch, but at least his beautiful face isn't hidden beneath a hat and a hoodie.

Misumi: Nope, I mean the kids. I promised to play paper airplanes by the riverside again!

Izumi: I see! Sounds fun. By the way, what kind of fillings are you putting into the onigiri?

Misumi: Salmon, umeboshi, and bonito! Omi prepared them for me~.

Izumi: Hehe, I’m glad.

Misumi: Are you going to help out at that theater company again today, Director-san?

Izumi: Yeah.

Izumi: Today’s the opening day of their show, and they needed more people to help with the pre-show preparations, so I decided to help out again.

Misumi: I see. Ah! Then do you want some onigiri too, Director-san?

Izumi: (I ate breakfast pretty early, so I’ll probably get hungry midway through, so maybe some onigiri would be a good idea.)

Izumi: Yeah, I’ll take a few of them.

Misumi: You’re probably getting ready to leave right now, so I’ll make some onigiri for you!

Izumi: …Ah, then wait just a second.

Misumi: What is it~?

*Izumi writes something down*

Izumi: Here, this is my request!

Misumi: This is a please ticket~. “I want two of Misumi-kun’s handmade triangle onigiri.”?

Misumi: Is this really what you want your request to be? I’ll still make onigiri for you even without the ticket.

Izumi: You weren’t going to make them for me originally, right? That’s why I’m going to make it a formal request with this ticket.

Misumi: …Got it! Then I’ll make some yummy triangle onigiri just for you, Director-san!

Izumi: (Thank goodness we were able to get through the pre-show prep safely.)

Izumi: (That reminds me, didn’t Misumi-kun say he’d be playing with those kids by the riverside again today?)

Child A: It’s so good!

Child C: Your onigiri is so yummy, Misumi-onii-chan!

Child B: They’re all pretty triangles~!

Misumi: There’s lotsa them, so eat as many as you want~!

Izumi: (Ah, there he is!)

Misumi: Here, this one’s for you, Kumon!

Kumon: Thanks~!

Izumi: (And it looks like Kumon’s with him today!)

Misumi: Ah, Director-saaaan!

Kumon: Director, come over here!

Child B: It’s the lady from the other day.

Misumi: We’re gonna play paper airplanes again today, so you should join us, Director-san~!

Izumi: Huh, me too…?

Child A: That’s a great idea!

Child C: Play with us!

Kumon: Please, please!

Izumi: …Alright, I’ll play paper airplanes too!

Misumi: Yaaay! Let’s have a competition to see whose can fly the highest~!

Bestfriend (Jimin)

Note: this is just a quick drabble I wrote when I was bored.

You and Jimin were bestfriends you would do everything together.

During the weekdays you would go to classes together and during the break you would eat together both of you had little routines and rituals.

During the weekends you would go watch random movies or go on night walks and have hot ramen by the riverside.

That was until she showed up. The new girl Kara.

You noticed Jimin stealing glances at Kara.

Being the supportive best friend you were you encouraged him to go say hi to her.

After days of encouraging him he finally went up to her and asked her out.

You were happy for him as long as he was happy you were too.

But your happiness was short lived.

He started to spend more time with her than you at first you didn't mind because you thought he would eventually remember that you existed.

As the days passed you felt as if you were becoming invisible to him he stopped hanging out with you. Ditched your routine weekend plans.

His calls became less frequent and eventually stopped. He rarely texted you and on the rare occasion when he did he was extremely dry.

You were hurt, you spent weeks crying your eyes out but you eventually got over him.

There was no use crying over someone who didn't love you or atleast that's what you thought.

Months went by you eventually made yourself forget about him and made new friends.

You were slowly feeling happy again.

Your new friend Jun invited you out to go to the movies this weekend.

You would be lying if you said you weren't excited. You had a little crush on him and when he asked you out you felt as if your heart would explode out of your chest.

When the weekend came you raided your wardrobe and pulled out a simple dress that you saved for special occasions. In fact you forgot that Jimin was the one that got you the dress.

You did your make and hair when you heard Juns car pull up in the drive way.

You hopped in and went to the theater.

Everything seemed to be going as planned.

You didn't notice the pair of eyes giving you the death glare.

You and jun were now seated in the theater he acted like he was yawning and placed his arms around your shoulders making you blush.

Little did you know someone behind you was plotting his death.

Jimin was furious. He knew that what he did to you wasn't right. But you were his bestfriend

You should only spend your time with him and no one else.

Seeing you wearing the dress he gifted you just added fuel to the fire.

All the memories you both shared came flooding in.

He felt rage and sadness build up inside him.

He would make you his again no matter what and the first step would be to eliminate Jun.

He followed Jun home after he dropped you off and waited for him to fall asleep.

He slid into through the window.

Took out his hunting knife and sent it plunging through his heart.

No one could take you away from him.

You were his alone....
