[image id: Tags from @jumpboy-rembrandt​ saying “#but theyre cute so like?? fck off #(i can delete this if youd like btw!! i just. like indruck.) #indruck” end id]
You’re good you don’t have to delete this!! It’s totally okay to be reblogged. Also: your first tag is SO IMPORTANT. Just let people have harmless fun!
I have some THOUGHTS about indruck and Duck shipping under the cut because I really do have a LOT to say and I’m somewhat using this tag as an excuse.
i know I didn’t really give “real reasons” on the first post but like. Shipping gay couples that are older or middle-aged makes me, a gay person, feel so good. Like. It helps me see that when I’m older, when I’m less conventionally attractive and wrinkly and getting “out of my prime”, I can still have love.
There’s so much media that just denies the idea that people who’re older than their 30s can find or be in love, and so having characters that I can see together makes me feel like I, too, can still find love at that age, that I can still be happy.
Older gay couples never get enough representation in media and to make our own makes me feel like I won’t be alone the instant I get old, because there’s still a chance for me to find love. Gay couples are so often shown as only young and attractive people and so its wonderful to have something to look forward to instead of thinking now is my only chance.
This is one of the reasons I get... a little angry when I see people headcanon Duck as aromantic or asexual. I can completely understand someone wanting to project onto a character they like, but at the same time, older people are never allowed to have fun and be in love. In media they’re always shown as either unhappily trapped in a marriage, or not even looking for love.
Labeling all older characters as unable to feel romantic attraction is a bad habit that a lot of younger people fall into. Especially when said character has quite a bit to suggest they might be gay (re: Duck calling himself a bear, Justin knowing that bear is a term used by gay men). Some people don’t flirt with the women around them, some people are socially anxious, some people are middle aged, and it doesn’t mean they’re aromantic.
Aromantic people definitely need more representation in media, but not when that representation would take away from older gay people. I wish I had a link to that campaign all about how our love does not fade as we get older. Our love tends to get stronger! Older people are just as capable of love, and labeling an older character as aromantic and asexual is always going to set off alarm bells for me. Older people are just as capable of love and sexual relationships as anyone else.
I also get alarm bells set off whenever anyone needs an “explanation” for where something, like a ship or popular headcanon, came from. Sometimes it’s just born from joy. To me, I saw Duck and Indrid interact for the first time, and I thought there was potential there. I loved the potential behind someone who could see the future, and someone who was burdened with it. Seer and Chosen One. They fit together so well in my head!
And even now, that Duck is mundane, I still see it there. The many times Indrid asked specifically to talk to Duck over the phone, the riff about whether or not Duck wanted eggnog when offered, Duck saving Indrid at the tree and reassuring him that no matter what, they would stop the horrible futures from occurring. It’s soft, and sweet, and so natural. It feels like a real relationship blooming. Those all came without Duck needing to be Chosen.
It’s a wonderful idea, too! Duck didn’t want being Chosen to define him, but it did, and when that was taken away from him, he was scared. He’s still scared. He’s cowardly, he runs from fate, he runs from danger. So does Indrid. They both love the Earth, they love the nature and the people, they want to protect others but they’re cowardly and fear for their own safety. They have so much in common, it’s incredible. Their personalities play off each other flawlessly. They have fantastic potential as a couple!
I also see a lot of work that shows them together in very out of character ways, partially due to people wanting to see certain aspects of a relationship and simply choosing the nearest pairing to put it on, but I won’t get into that now, because I could go on forever and make a whole separate post about that. 
Anyways. I love indruck! I try to be modest, and I’d love to give the credit of indruck to other people as well, but they’ve all pushed the credit back onto me? So I guess I invented this ship, technically. I have a lot of love for it in my heart. Its very good! It’s got potential, it’s got good canon interactions already, and it’s just very sweet and nice. It’s something that I can always look at and it warms my heart, and it’s so very nice to have that.
TLDR; Older gay couples need more representation in media, aromantics need representation too but not by pinning it on gay characters, and Indrid and Duck are just really good together and have a lot that works well between them!
I have other reasons why I ship them but this post has gotten way long already so I’ll cut it here. If you read all of this! Hell yea! You’re awesome!

AGE OF ULTRON BOTHERS ME OK. Like... I ENJOYED IT. I thought it was a fun romp but if I think about it beyond just watching cool fight scenes its fucking irritating.
So Im gonna give my suggestions on how to fix it so it doesnt feel like Whedon disregarded every other movie that he had no part in..
HERE GOES.
First off... this should be a movie that completely cements the Avengers as a team. Ultron should try AND FAIL to put a divide in the Avengers. Loki already broke them up and Whedon absolutely knows that Civil War is coming and its gonna happen again so THIS movie should be one where the Avengers are the most SOLID OF UNITS.
Especially Steve and Tony. Steve distrust of Tony is baseless and obnoxious... it made some sense in the first movie because Tonys attitude in public and thats all Steve got plus Lokis discourse stick adding fuel to the fire... FINE. But its shitty in this movie and makes Cap look like a fucking moronic prick... because REALLY trusting the chick that mind raped you and tried to murder you over your fucking teammate? JANKY and makes you look like an incompetent leader (though the writers would ignore that fact because theyre too scared to let Steve make mistakes... but w/e)
The one area I can see them actually arguing or disagreeing is Tony making Vision after what happens with Ultron. Tony points out hes been making AI for a long ass time without issue and Cap says its not worth it, Tony argues damned if we dont maybe not damned if we do.... scuffle happens, Vision happens, Thor pops in, Stark was right... Cap and Tony have a heart to heart because theyre friends and they make up...
At some point before Wanda and Pietro switch sides, Wanda learns that Tony wasnt the one selling weapons... maybe when Ultron is talking about him learning shit from the internet and deciding humanity should just fuck off (a fair assessment honestly) one of the things he mentions is Tony being carelessness and Stane selling weapons under the table... and it starts sinking in in that moment that shes been attacking a man who had no real part in her parents death, but then Ultrons like Im gonna kill everyone and thats when Wanda and Pietro dip out.
The scene where Clint is talking to Wanda and Pietro should be a reconciliation between them and Tony instead... maybe a conversation about how he understands how it is to be the bad guy and hurt people because of grief... were not so different you and I and all that... and it would sting even harder in Civil War when Tony once again lets his grief consume him and he lashes out at Steve and Bucky.
Wanda getting to have a heart to heart with a character shes wronged most of all and trying to be a better person by helping the fight against Ultron would humanize her more and it would give her losing her brother a lot more of a sting. I think anyways.
CLINT SHOULD HAVE SHIT TO DO. I think Ive said this before but they should have Clint have a family but absolutely not have Clint go to his family home when hes being hunted down by a homicidal fuckin robot....ya know? He brings them to a safe house, the Avengers are still a little awkward and making comments... theres pictures of Clint with his wife and kids and Nat ‘these are agents.‘ ‘...the kids?‘ ‘...smaller agents...‘... at the end of the movie when theyre victorious we see a scene where Clint goes to another home and hes greeted by his wife and kids and were like OMG THEYRE ACTUALLY REAL AND NOT JUST A COVER? IDK what else to do with Clint...
Nat and Bruce woulda been fine but they should been the main source of animosity within the Avengers. Nat manipulated and lied to Bruce to get him into SHIELDs grasp and Bruce almost killed Natasha. Though theyre civil with each other in the end it would be interesting to see their relationship start to fester when theyre in a desperate situation. Maybe they get separated from the group and are forced to confront their negativity toward each other... and dont really make up until near the end of the movie. Natasha continuously thinks she can handle a situation alone (secretly shes afraid that Bruces anger for her will cause the Hulk to lash out at her too and Thor isnt around to stop him no one is... she'd be alone) and does a pretty good job fighting off the bad guys herself, but eventually theyre cornered and Bruce says they need Hulk... and she says no and they argue and Bruce does it anyways and takes out the bots coming after them and when he turns, Nat is clearly scared like she was that first time... Hulk reaches out to her because hes not just a mindless beast and she faces and conquers her fear and they work well together.
Bruce watching Natasha keep him safe and be there for him (maybe theres a point where SHE could save herself and leave Bruce but she doesnt) and she in turn sees that Bruce/Hulk isnt something that she needs to be scared of. EXCELLENT. If they wanna hint a maybe romance after that fine... I prefer it not happen but at least theres some material to work with. Bruce takes off at the end because he still cant deal with what happened earlier in the movie with him ripping apart a city... so hes off to Ragnarok as scheduled.
Thor.......... I dunno. Like Clint its a bit hard to work with him in this movie. He can do what hes doing in the movie I guess? but like... let him have some connection... maybe hes the one who calms Hulk down since Nats not there... but instead of just talking at Hulk hes like 'hey buddy!!' and Hulks like RRAWRRRR and Thor yells at him back and is like 'LOL -PUNCH- lets get going' and Hulk is like '-huff huff- -looks angry-.....k'. IDFK. But itd be cool since Ragnarok they became buddies anyways....
Rhodey should have been in contact with the Avengers in the movie more. There is a scene where hes talking with Tony and Nat over a computer but it was cut... but they should have given him that scene and him updating the Avengers on what hes doing (finding Fury and getting SHIELDs help or w/e) and Whedon not even letting Sam come back for the finally is unforgivable..
but I guess it would really highlight the fact he sidelined the 3 black guys and only let them come in in the end.... but Sam being sent to find Bucky was a shitty way to get rid of him. But it just makes it clear the movies after the Avengers was disregarded- Whedon doesnt know what to do with Sam (whos introd in Cap2), Rhodey is back to being War Machine with no explanation(even though in IM3 hes Iron Patriot), Fury is back with SHIELD (even though SHIELD was dismantled and Fury left)...
Rhodey being Iron Patriot could have been hilarious too... and also gave Steve and Rhodey some kind of connection. Just have him land by Cap in that ridiculous suit and Cap looks at him and he looks at Cap and Tonys like 'Well one of you needs to change...' and then in Civil War when Rhodey is back to War Machine... itd be kind of hilarious. They can even have another running gag where people keep fake mistaking them as the same person and theyre like 'ALRIGHT I FUCKING GET IT' 'LANGUAGE~~'
But youd need the writers to actually care about Rhodey... AND THEY FUCKIN DONT. All of them. Theyre all to blame.
..Where was I...
Also literally ONE scene with Vision and Tony... maybe at the very end... because Tony losing his most consistent/closest confidant and only RDJ looking devastated because he seems to be the only one who cares about Tonys bots/AIs kinda sucks. I mean Whedon admitted that he didnt think JARVIS was all that important didnt he? Garbo.
...IDK what else... but you know what I mean? Im so sick of heroes fighting each other... its cool and sad every once in awhile but literally every movie doesnt have to be that.
Will anyone read my rambling nonsense? Probably not... but I have a lot of feelings. AoU and BvS ...why do you gotta suck so hard.

could yall list some slow burn/slow build non-au fics? canon divergent is fine! if thats too specific and youd rather use this ask as a reason for just a general slow burn masterlist thats cool too
Hi! I’m gonna give you some Non-AU, slow build fics because we’re here to take care of you, babe. If you don’t want AUs, there shan’t be any AU fics. (However, we weren’t sure if you considered fics that took place in the future an AU, but we added it anyway. Pretty much anything that was canonverse was included!) Also we only post Masterlists on Mondays and we didn’t want you to have to wait a whole week. Enjoy!!!

38 Works. 
The Devil Ships ZeKu by xairylle ( E | 160,555+ | 28/? )
Midoriya Izuku knew what fanfiction was. He just didn’t think there was something like THIS out there. About him and Kacchan no less.
Falling by soulstring ( E | 131,312+ | 21/? )
He knows that Katsuki is cruel, and for the sake of looking down on him he could do something like this. But even so, if it was just to mess with him, Katsuki of all people should know better than to expect years of punches and cruel taunts will make him say yes.
SeriesPart 1 of You grew up when I wasn’t looking
[Underage]
Unknown Number: I Love You by Explosion_Boy (push_it_hajime), Lillabelle ( T | 50,352 | 11/11 )
Opposites attract right? Well that’s what Midoriya’s friend, Uraraka, thinks. Her friend from another school talked about another guy, Bakugou Katsuki, and the two girls decided the two were perfect for each other. Now Midoriya is left with the number of a guy he didn’t even know.
How bad could it be?
Some Read It For The Articles by low_commotion ( T | 44,014+ | 8/? )
It all starts because Kirishima lets slip to Kaminari, who whispers it loudly to Sero and is overheard by Ashido, who tells Jirou, who announces it the rest of the girls in the class, that Bakugou has some secret beefy dude mags hidden deep under his bed.
surveying, reconciliation (and other forms of not-matchmaking) by vannral ( E | 17,449 | 6/6 )
In all honesty, Izuku thinks he really shouldn’t be having this crisis.
In which Mina has fun trying to play matchmaker, Izuku has Realizations™ about his feelings for Katsuki, and the class 1-A will witness many weird things.
Can We Not? by vulcanhighblood ( T | 13,170+ | 6/? )
Journalist Midoriya Izuku just wants to catch the last train home, he didn’t ask for any of this. But when Ground Zero brutalizes a vending machine before your very eyes and then offers to buy you a coffee, well, you don’t refuse.
The Art of Indifference by qye ( Not Rated | 15,699+ | 20/? )
Bakugou is used to being the center of attention- be it anger, confussion, or fear (mostly fear) everyone always gives him a reaction.
Until all the sudden, Deku doesn’t.
What a fucking asshole.
synthesis by DriftingGlass ( M | 31,325+ | 6/? )
They didn’t know how it happened, or when a concept so fickle and ridiculous blossomed in the garden of doubts, anger, and pain in which they so frequently visited.
Between scarred hands and bloodied knuckles, unspoken thoughts stirred like petals in springtime rain.
Bakugo was not prepared for the undeniable change spurring between them.
Unfortunately, neither was Midoriya.
Breaking Point by Tsar Tsarevich (Rusbuster) ( T | 26,469+ | 9/? )
Over the years since Katsuki received his explosive quirk, he has done nothing but bully Izuku, both physically and mentally as a result of his over-inflated ego. Then, one day, he takes it too far.
“If you want a quirk so damn badly, just throw yourself off the fucking roof and hope you get one in the next life!”
Everyone has a breaking point, even Izuku.
[Major Character Death]
A Haze of Crystal by semiautomatichearts ( T | 39,255+ | 10/? )
In the throes of a harsh snowstorm, Izuku Midoriya narrowly brushes with death in their childhood because of Katsuki Bakugou, and the guilt lives within him, a festering hole that becomes a trigger for the gradual degradation of their relationship. When Izuku falls ill in a blizzard years later, Katsuki sees history begin to repeat, and there is no answer for the subsequent flood of emotion that emerges from the feather’s edge of kindness and cruelty.
Hummingbird Heartbeat by Tokiji ( M | 29,114+ | 6/? )
“The knife went through his fucking chest, Kirishima.” Katsuki spat his name into his face, mouth twisting into a vicious snarl, teeth and all. “You know that’s where his heart is, right? And his fucking lungs? All the vital shit?”
Kirishima blanched. “I-I know, I just meant—”
“What, you mean to tell me that your stupid fuckin’ ass is so ignorant to forget that he lost a shit ton of blood, hah?! Yeah, it was a flippin’ knife wound, oh hoo-ray, but look at the nerd now! He’s fucking dying because of it!”
Petals In Your Hair by Yuechum ( T | 12,978+ | 12/26 )
Katsuki sees him with sunlight in his hair, the lines of his face softer and more gentle in these brief moments. He looks breathtaking like this he’ll think, watching all the while, wondering just when Izuku became someone to long for so deeply.
The slightest hint of a smile lingers on Izuku’s face when he notices, and the urge to touch grows, grows, grows.
how he should’ve known (and how it turned out) by vannral ( M | 20,381+ | 6/? )
Izuku should’ve listened and known and watched out for this so he wouldn’t be here, in this position.But he is, and everything is awful.
In which Katsuki and Izuku pretend to be a couple to avoid journalists, the plan backfires magnificently because of course it does, and the act goes on. Includes feelings, pining, domestic fluff and jealousy.
Friends with Benefits by acupfullofcolors ( M | 27,112 | 11/? )
“You two knuckleheads should settle your differences. This tension between the both of you disturbs the class and slows their progress down because of this shit you’re throwing at each other. So do something against it or I will!” Aizawa hollers at both of them.
After a night of drinking in the common rooms Izuku wakes up in Katsuki’s bed, butt naked and about to panic in fear of getting yelled at but instead Katsuki answers that he might found the perfect solution for their problem.
‘Friends with benefits’ is what he calls his suggestion.A concept which works fine when you seek relieve and try to ease your sexual need and the tension.
That is until someone craves more ….
SeriesPart 1 of Crazy Stupid Love
Cuddles and Kittens by ItsNotAControlKink ( G | 79,874+ | 41/? )
It partially starts when Mineta brings it home, but officially starts when Hagakure convinces Bakugo to come cook, and Kirishima thinks that he’s a little down and proposes a competition - first to make Bakugo laugh, and really laugh without involving pain of others, wins.
In other words, a simple competition to make Bakugo laugh makes more feelings sorta spring out and it’s cute.
SeriesPart 1 of BNHA Ships
You Don’t Know Me by Cellaira ( M | 19,992 | 5/? )
After the loss of his mentor, Izuku struggles to rekindle his heroic passion working as a pro hero. Putting on a brave face, he continues saving civilians with a smile and stands tall as the new pillar of peace. Every day seems to drag on until a certain person blasts his way back into his life. Maybe the one that can save Izuku from his nightmares is the one that fuels them.
On hiatus until season two ,,,,
[Graphic Depictions of Violence]
Mistaken Identity by SasuNaru22 ( E | 21,048+ | 9/? )
Midoriya Izuku, has a sort of small (big) crush on Todoroki Shouto. He doesn’t quite know how to approach him though, so he sends him a text instead. In response, he’s told to do a series of tasks to prove how serious he is about a possible relationship. Everything seems to be going well until suddenly it isn’t. Who the heck has he really been talking to???
Run Into the Unknown by NightGivesWayToLight ( T | 28,506+ | 9/? )
Kaitou shyly reaches up to touch Bakugou’s face. A second later, he changes from a boy with gray eyes and black hair to a mini Bakugou, blonde explodey hair and all.Bakugou almost drops Kaitou in shock. “W-what the–?”“My quirk,” Kaitou says in explanation, smiling a little at the shock on Bakugou’s face.—————–When a young boy is found in the wreckage from a building collapse, Izuku and Bakugou’s lives change forever.
Mistakes and Amends by ThisIsJapaneseLunchTimeRush ( T | 31,706 | 15/15 )
Bakugou and Midoriya have been estranged for years following a devastating incident that left one of them unable to follow his dream.
Safe Ride Home by jackmischief ( M | 30,806+ | 9/? )
Katsuki doesn’t give Deku a second thought. He just dreams about him sometimes. And has nightmares where Deku doesn’t make it out of those deadly villain battles. It’s not his fault he gets honest when he’s drunk.
Bitter and Sweet by 13th ( T | 32,551 | 9/9 )
To Katsuki, memories are the bane of his existence, they’re picky and unpredictable.
To Izuku, memories are fragile glass, easy to shatter and requires a lot of attention.
Different recollection of the past, but similar enough to have the same result. Hopefully, the day they acknowledge these revelations can finally mend those bothering questions that none of the other answered.
(In other words. Just goddamn, talk it out.)
Propinquity by Jaylun ( M | 14,11 | 5/5 )
“Bakugou FOUR days! Midoriya THREE days! Both of you are under house arrest!! You will be cleaning all of the dormitory plus the common spaces morning AND night!”
It takes less than three days together to finally realize how they truly feel for each other. Who knew they just needed more time to themselves to sort out their feelings?
-Takes place after ch120 and during ch121-
Study Session by setsujoumayu ( T | 16,095 | 5/5 )
Izuku can’t really remember how he ended up studying in Katsuki’s room with Katsuki. (Okay, he does, but neither of them even talk to each other anyway so this might as well be a nightmare he’ll forget about once he wakes up, right?)
SeriesPart 1 of sorry’s not enough, you know
Ambivalent by bakuboi ( T | 24,462+ | 6/? )
Bakugou Katsuki does not hate Midoriya Izuku…but he sure as hell doesn’t like him, either.
The Connection by Izaioi ( T | 35,313 | 16/16 )
Izuku has spent years of his life watching him train alone. Almost every day after school they would hide somewhere without witnesses and Katsuki would do physical training first and quirk training later. Izuku would watch, learning every single detail about him.Katsuki would often tell him to get lost, to not follow him in his training spots. Yet Katsuki never actually sent him away. Izuku would sit a bit farther, open his notebook and start writing.
(A rewriting of the canon, their relationship was a bit better from the start because they were stopped before they could reach the critical point.)
Lost and found by Sad_Pawn ( T | 10,208+ | 5/? )
Katsuki is finally back after being taken by the League of Villains. However, he seems to have lost an important piece of himself. Can he recover without it?
Midoriya is so relieved that Kacchan is back and safe. But when he visits him, he immediately notices something is terribly, terribly wrong. Can he help restore his childhood friend’s hope?
I don’t think you care, but do you? by confused_atm ( M | 4,454+ | 4/? )
Izuku is still scarred from his relationship with Katsuki during their childhood, and maybe they try to fix it. Together.(I’m bad at summaries y'all :’) help idk what I’m doing)!!TRIGGER WARNING!! There is self-harm, but only in like the first chapter
Lay It On Me by BaskTheHound ( M | 18,978+ | 4/15 )
“So. Why are you dreading Izuku coming home after all these years?”
I looked at her with a frown, but in reality I was at the verge of tears. “It was easier to make hypothetical scenarios of how I would talk to him after all of this time. Now that I’m going to face the real shit, I’m nervous.” I confessed. “And on the other hand… if everything goes as I want it to go, if Izuku has a place in his heart for me after all of… everything… then I don’t think I will believe I deserve it, because I don’t.”
Inconceivable by Muhleh ( M | 15,734+ | 8/? )
[in-kuh n-see-vuh-buh l]
adjective1.not conceivable; unimaginable; unthinkable.
Example: It was inconceivable. He wouldn’t cheat on him. Would he?
Summer Heat by Disney_Princess_Izuku ( T | 11,947 | 1/1 )
One summer isn’t enough to solve a lifetime’s worth of misunderstandings and pain.
It takes two.
Alternatively, Izuku and Katsuki start a romance, end it, and then begin anew.
SeriesPart 1 of Thirty Days of Summer
One Door Closes, Another Opens by MadamBlue ( M | 7,562+ | 4/? )
They say when one door closes another one opens, but for Izuku it feels like the worlds has completely shut itself to him. Sure he was the number one hero but what has he sacrificed to get where he is? Can he get that back, or has that door been shut forever?
Learn To Love by Abitofeverything_ok ( E | 14,878+ | 5/? )
They happened to be walking in the same area when a villain happened to show up right in front of their faces. The villain had a mission. He had been watching these two rivals for some time and they were the next perfect target. He grabbed an arrow from his quiver he had on his back and used his bow aiming for the two boys. Before they could react, he shot and everything went dark.
My Hero Bakudemia by jebbielee ( M | 13,499+ | 14/? )
Bakugou Katsuki has everything. The powerful Quirk. The guaranteed acceptance into the nation’s top hero school. A whole lot of emotions that he needs to work through. The desire to win. A certain green-haired thorn in his side that he needs to remove. Okay maybe some of those things aren’t exactly hero-material, but he is Bakugou Katsuki, damnit.
And this is the story of how he is going to become the greatest hero of all time.
What Remains by otakuchan354 ( M | 4,316+ | 2/? )

Gift in Winter by DragonKRZ ( T | 2,822+ | 1/? )
No fucking way, it wasn’t possible. It was Deku they were talking about. The only thing Bakugou knows is that he’s fucked. Kirishima should stop grinning at him and giving him thumbs up before he gets his face pummeled. Midoriya is an oblivious fluff ball while Todoroki joins the Deku squad. Tentatively set in the summer after their first year.
Operation: SNAFU by otakuchan354 ( M | 1,254+ | 1/? )

Hi-Jacking Australia Day: Photo Op Fail Shows That The Mayor Knows How Deep She Is In The Electoral Doo-Doos
Shameless in its hypocrisy, utterly stupid in its transparency Jenny Hill and her team claim honours they WERE NOT awarded, in a bumbled bit of cheap campaigning chicanery. For all that, The Pie owes Jenny Hill an apology or does he? Could it be that he err short-changed her when writing about the LGAQ last week? There seems to be some murky financial (albeit apparently legal) fancy financial footwork in the local governments published reports. The Pie has a beak around to see if he really must offer to Jenny what she was forced to offer Clive Palmer an abject apology. (Good luck with the $50 grand part of it, though.) An unfortunate choice by the Townsville Chamber of Commerce and a truly shameful one by the Bulletin.. Plus, Bentleys hilarious take that will make Katter go Katter-tonic and in addition to our usual visual visit to the week in Trumpistan, a wonderful pictorial insight into how time reverses our values. But first Bobs A Real Pain The Arse The Mad Katter was at again this week, describing homosexuality as a fashion trend, and making the ingenuous dopey statement that In my whole life up to 50, I had never seen or heard of a homosexual person. Well, you probably met heaps of them, Bob, but in that time period, the laws of the day made it advisable not to advertise the fact. And one wonders if he doth protest a tad much could the Member for Kennedy be on a late-life slide into iniquity? Theres been a hint when you host a barbie in a shirt that looks like it was bought at Peter Allen garage sale, casually slung over a Ripcurl T-shirt, youre poised at the top of the slippery slope we call life-style choices. Indeed, our visionary toonist Bentley can clearly see the next passing phase for our Bob. Of course, this is all in fun, we all know that Bob is a solid, upstanding member, a real hands-on bloke who has a strong grip on things despite all his giggling and gasping. Still In Bentley territory, our man reckons not everybody is unhappy with our current heat wave across the country. And he is right about The Pies reaction, but being a considerate chap, Bentley has omitted the brown stains in the water behind the old bird. Low Blow In a shameful tabloid attempt at sensationalism, the Townsville Bulletin has surpassed itself on this, our national day when we talk up that we live in The Land of the Fair Go. In one of the most denigrating efforts yet by this floundering fish of a paper, we were treated to this below-the-belt guilt by association dog whistling front page. And the sleazy effort just got worse and worse, especially when a reporter quizzed him with what can only be an accusatory question on any possible involvement with his aunts drug dealing, indicated by the use of the word denied. QUOTE: Mr Dametto denied having any prior knowledge of his aunts alleged involvement with drugs before her arrest and assured his constituents, he did not condone the use of dangerous drugs. I havent (been involved in drugs) nor any other member of my family to my knowledge, Mr Dametto said.(The alleged offending) has nothing to do with me, its something she has to sort out herself. UNQUOTE The fact that they asked the question no one had considered, with not a shred of even remote suggestion, is straight up political dog whistling the chorus of Ha! yeah, right from the LNP and Labor banjo-playing set is already plunking away. If Jenna Cairney and her band of work experience reporters think this is a good tactic to fill space, perhaps theyd like to door knock the parents and relatives of the juvenile little shits charged with stealing cars and property, and ask them if they had any prior knowledge or involvement the exploits of their little snots. One imagines such effrontery would meet with what some cops describe as summary justice and no argument there from this old bird. Truly base stuff, Ms Cairney. And Your Bizarre Story Placements Continue Apace Jeez-us, fair dinkum. When It Comes To Snide Stupidity, Jenna And Jenny Make A Pigeon Pair If ever proof was needed that our mayor is wetting herself about her plunging popularity and failure to fool ANY of the people ANY of the time, it came in the online Bulletin this weekend. Heres a little puzzle of current affairs test for you. Read the caption first, and then see a) how many Australia Day award winners you can spot, and b) see how many Team Hill councillors you can spot. And the Astonisher certainly has its political priorities right the caption lists Mayor Mullet and Premier Alphabet but failed to mention that dorky looking bloke in the center. Oh, him, hes not worth mentioning, just the Governor of Queensland and former Chief Justice Paul de Jersey. But then have a look along the line search as he could, The Pie was not able to see it reported anywhere that either Clr Ann-Maree Greaney, Clr Maurie Soares, Clr Colleen Boo Hoo Doyle, Clr Les Messagebank Walker, Mayor Mullet Jenny Hill, or Clr Kurt Rehbein had received any Australia Day honours. So WTF are THEY doing, holding some sort of prize, which if it is an Australia Day Award, is grossly dishonest to say the least a pathetic please re-elect me plea? They are making themselves out to be winners of some sort which is looking more and more unlikely next time around. But OK, why is the old bird surprised, this is about the level of honesty weve come to expect from these denizens of the Walker Street trough. Its such a thigh-slapping inept attempt at campaign virtue signalling it has just proved two things shes desperate and shes dumb. But or All that, Mayor Mullet May Get Back In A new study of Townsville voters has discovered why we have the political representation we have. Well, at least it explains it for us, but not much can be done, youd reckon. Now, Having Said That, Maybe The Magpie Owes Mrs Hill An Apology Last week and on a couple of previous occasions The Pie has snidely written that Mayor Mullet picks up $31K a year in fees plus expenses for attending 6 LGAQ meeting a year as one of the three ordinary directors of the Association. She will retain that position until June 2020. Well, shame-faced as he is to say it, it appears that The Magpie may be WRONG (clutch the pearls to throat, gals, splutter in your Scotch and Fanta, gents). And this error is a direct, albeit unintended, slur on our mayor, by wantonly questioning the worth of her invaluable visionary qualities and her legendary financial acumen, particularly in Indian industrial and aviation matters. Because it seems her spare-time gig at the LGAQ earns her nowhere near $31,000 p.a. It looks like its closer to $95,000 per annum! Which becomes even more interesting when you consider that the TCC pays about $250K a year membership, so it in essence means that her services to the LGAQ are in fact paid for by Townsville ratepayers as part of the citys membership fee. Indeed, it seems we stump up a total a very worth while total, mind you, who could argue of just under $300,000 a year for her incomparable leadership as she charts a clever path out of our current financial and employment morass. The Pie humbly apologises for underselling you so despicably, Mrs Hill, when you devote so much of your time so selflessly to the public good of Townsville. There will be sneering Doubting Thomases who question your championing of the Local Buy procurement arm of the LGAQ, which actually takes work OUT of this city. Those doubters say that the claimed efficiencies dont actually save the council anything, but pshaw! what would they know? They simply have no head for these sorts of figures and deals and they certainly dont understand the pressures of your obligation to an organisation that slips you almost a hundred grand a year to raise your voting arm when told. Oh, the irony, the irony. But, You Cry, Is This True? Well, it certainly seems so to better financial sleuths than The Magpie, but it all depends how you decipher the murky and ambiguous figures published by he LGAQ. Rubbery was a word bandied about frequently. And just to pique our interest, there is a little mystery item mentioned, but that later on. Lets go the LGAQ Annual Report, where on page 35 we find this as a starter. Now the remuneration seems pretty clear there sort of but it has the rubbery words ranged between. (And a brief digression they sure aint bound by pissant thoughts of CPI or inflation down at the LGAQ note the rise in fees from 2017 to 2018 a tasty 35% for the president and an eye-watering 100% for directors. And the 2017 figures dont add up anyway, which is rubbery/sloppy in itself, with no explanation offered. Makes one wonder. The question here is would someone like Jenny Hill from a place the size of Townsville (for round figures, let say 200,000) be willing to accept the same stipend as say Alf Lacey from Palm Island, which has what, about three to five thousand people? Methinks not in a month of Sundays, and PI membership would be a tiny fraction of Townsvilles.) Then we see this chart, which again seem clear. Or is it not? The disparity between the President and the directors $137,422 v $31,000 ($94,280 split three ways rounded out here) is not believable to one executive who deals in these areas. He thinks the real remuneration, especially for Jenny Hill, is actually about $94,000. But whether it totals that from these figures (where there would obviously have to be some accounting error), things get even more interesting if he scroll back to page 20, we find this And this Now these reports can be heavy going even for accountants at times, and impossible for the likes by The Magpie, but our experienced Magpie mate writes: The cost of directors fees and meeting fees for the year are $618,294 (page 20) this would kind of add up to me like 3 directors @ $95k plus the president @ $137k total of $422k leaving another $196k to be accounted for so I think the directors get 95K still and travel and accommodation listed separately as $734,441 (page 20) So all in all, maybe Jenny Hill is worth the money she gets as a director worth it to the LGAQ, anyway, when it presumably is she who calls the shots on the councils membership fees. All this is courtesy of the Townsville ratepayers. The loveliness continues. Oh, and that little mystery. Just this But to be sure, since the LGAQ runs an insurance arm, it will surely be covered for whatever alleged indiscretion did or did not take place either way, it gunna cost. A (un-doctored) Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words A somewhat antiquated clich borne out by an alert reader who reckons his shot in Flinders Street just about sums up Townsvilles quandary. And another reader pic is being repeated across the city at a growing rate. Sloppy unfinished work and weeds all around contractor or council, totally unacceptable, and could be a traffic hazard, especially in the wet. Of course, not all councils can get things right, even the mighty Randwick Council in Sydney which has its own wrestle with signage. Be interesting if a Great Dane owned by a dwarf takes a dump. Did The Townsville Chamber of Commerce Really Think About The Wisdom Of This? Putting an image of a hungry looking porker on the stationery of an outfit representing private business seems a bit risky. But it gets more pointed when it is advertising a Townsville information session for the LGAQs Local Buy mob. Of course, in very small print, the presence of porky is explained as recognition of the Chambers Chinese membership, it is the Year of the Pig. Well, come to think of it, it IS an election year Pot Calling Kettle Award Of The Week. This goes to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, addressing an emergency meeting of the Organisation of American States last Wednesday on the unrest in Venezuela, and rescinding recognition of the elected leader. He said: The time for debate is done. The regime of former President Nicholas Maduro is illegitimate. His regime is morally bankrupt, economically incompetent and it is profoundly corrupt. It is undemocratic to the core. All absolutely correct except for two words, and many Americans know which two they are but guess you wouldnt know, Mikey, what a gerbil performance history awaits you, fella. We can shortly expect Trump to recognise Pauline Hanson as Australias legitimate leader, and for the forthcoming elections to be cancelled, since elections have little meaning in Washington. Apparently. But before Trump can make any such declaration how Australia can be governed, he will need the permission of the man behind him. And thats just the start for this week in Trumpistan. And Finally, For A Final Rueful Laugh Or Two. Time and technology play unexpected tricks on us, taking just a few short years to reverse human behaviour. .. Thats it for this week, but as usual, comments are running hot on all sorts of topics, so have your say, comments can be posted 24/7. And if youre in a kindly mood (or just drunk, doesnt matter) a donation to help the old bird keep floating above it all is always appreciated and put to good use. The how to donate button is below. http://www.townsvillemagpie.com.au/hi-jacking-australia-day-photo-op-fail-shows-that-the-mayor-knows-how-deep-she-is-in-the-electoral-doo-doos/

Lets go the LGAQ Annual Report, where on page 35 we find this as a starter. Now the remuneration seems pretty clear there sort of but it has the rubbery words ranged between. (And a brief digression they sure aint bound by pissant thoughts of CPI or inflation down at the LGAQ note the rise in fees from 2017 to 2018 a tasty 35% for the president and an eye-watering 100% for directors. And the 2017 figures dont add up anyway, which is rubbery/sloppy in itself, with no explanation offered. Makes one wonder. The question here is would someone like Jenny Hill from a place the size of Townsville (for round figures, let say 200,000) be willing to accept the same stipend as say Alf Lacey from Palm Island, which has what, about three to five thousand people? Methinks not in a month of Sundays, and PI membership would be a tiny fraction of Townsvilles.) Then we see this chart, which again seem clear. Or is it not? The disparity between the President and the directors $137,422 v $31,000 ($94,280 split three ways rounded out here) is not believable to one executive who deals in these areas. He thinks the real remuneration, especially for Jenny Hill, is actually about $94,000. But whether it totals that from these figures (where there would obviously have to be some accounting error), things get even more interesting if he scroll back to page 20, we find this And this Now these reports can be heavy going even for accountants at times, and impossible for the likes by The Magpie, but our experienced Magpie mate writes: The cost of directors fees and meeting fees for the year are $618,294 (page 20) this would kind of add up to me like 3 directors @ $95k plus the president @ $137k total of $422k leaving another $196k to be accounted for so I think the directors get 95K still and travel and accommodation listed separately as $734,441 (page 20) So all in all, maybe Jenny Hill is worth the money she gets as a director worth it to the LGAQ, anyway, when it presumably is she who calls the shots on the councils membership fees. All this is courtesy of the Townsville ratepayers. The loveliness continues. Oh, and that little mystery. Just this But to be sure, since the LGAQ runs an insurance arm, it will surely be covered for whatever alleged indiscretion did or did not take place either way, it gunna cost. A (un-doctored) Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words A somewhat antiquated clich borne out by an alert reader who reckons his shot in Flinders Street just about sums up Townsvilles quandary. And another reader pic is being repeated across the city at a growing rate. Sloppy unfinished work and weeds all around contractor or council, totally unacceptable, and could be a traffic hazard, especially in the wet. Of course, not all councils can get things right, even the mighty Randwick Council in Sydney which has its own wrestle with signage. Be interesting if a Great Dane owned by a dwarf takes a dump. Did The Townsville Chamber of Commerce Really Think About The Wisdom Of This? Putting an image of a hungry looking porker on the stationery of an outfit representing private business seems a bit risky. But it gets more pointed when it is advertising a Townsville information session for the LGAQs Local Buy mob. Of course, in very small print, the presence of porky is explained as recognition of the Chambers Chinese membership, it is the Year of the Pig. Well, come to think of it, it IS an election year Pot Calling Kettle Award Of The Week. This goes to US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, addressing an emergency meeting of the Organisation of American States last Wednesday on the unrest in Venezuela, and rescinding recognition of the elected leader. He said: The time for debate is done. The regime of former President Nicholas Maduro is illegitimate. His regime is morally bankrupt, economically incompetent and it is profoundly corrupt. It is undemocratic to the core. All absolutely correct except for two words, and many Americans know which two they are but guess you wouldnt know, Mikey, what a gerbil performance history awaits you, fella. We can shortly expect Trump to recognise Pauline Hanson as Australias legitimate leader, and for the forthcoming elections to be cancelled, since elections have little meaning in Washington. Apparently. But before Trump can make any such declaration how Australia can be governed, he will need the permission of the man behind him. And thats just the start for this week in Trumpistan. And Finally, For A Final Rueful Laugh Or Two. Time and technology play unexpected tricks on us, taking just a few short years to reverse human behaviour. ..
