"GETS TWO YEARS FOR 32 CENT ROBBERY," Windsor Record. December 22, 1913. Page 1. ---- Negro Sentenced to Kingston for Holding up Stranger - Accomplice Freed. ---- Convicted of holding up and robbing James Lamb, whom he volunteered to show to a rooming house, Wallace Watson, a Negro, was sentenced to two years in Kingston penitentiary at hard labor. The case was heard by Judge J. O. Dromgole at a sitting of criminal court held at Sandwich, Saturday. James Lockman, who was convicted of being an accomplice of Watson's was allowed to go on suspended sentence, the court holding that Lockman was held in to the holdup by Watson.
According to Lamb, he met the men at the Walker house where they had a few drinks. Later on he inquired where he could find a rooming house and Watson said he would show him. When an old shed was reached in the rear of a wood yard, Lamb claims the men held him up and took all his money, which amounted to 32 cents. Watson has served time before for different offences and the court decided to give him a stiff sentence as a warning to others who might be inclined in the same channels.
[Watson was all of 19, born in Windsor, a 'common labourer' and he had already served a term in the Central Prison in Toronto. He was convict #F-703 at Kingston Penitentiary and worked in the quarry and stone cutters. He was reported twice, once in December 1914 and again in May 1915, for talking and inappropriate language, and lost 15 days remission. He was released in late fall 1915. His sentencing occasioned a mini-newspaper scandal when the Kingston Daily British Whig, repeating a Toronto press story and reporting on his arrival to the penitentiary, noted he had received 2 years whereas a man found guilty of a sexual assault against a minor was only fined. The Whig, remarkably, was insinuating a racial bias as well as 'illogical' hierarchy of sentencing. This forced the Windsor Record to defend this disparity in sentencing, pointing to technical differences and criminal records.]

"The media wouldn't like Damian." Are you kidding me, the media would LOVE Damian whether he's Robin or Damian Wayne.
This tiny, angry new Robin has a SWORD and uses words that most people don't think exist or even say. People overhear him just insulting Batman right to his face (as is every and any Robin's right) about like, his moves and how Robin could probably do it better. Mr. "My grandmother makes better death traps than you."
And Damian Wayne? The media, and anyone else for that matter, try to catch even a snippet of his retorts to the press or his family. A video goes viral of like, Dick recording Damian and Tim, it's a close-up of Damian's face as he says, "Timothy, if I were to wake up in another universe where you weren't born, I'd cry." There's a heartfelt 'Aww' from Dick, who gets a front row to Damian's next sentence, "Out of happiness that you aren't in my life." It BLOWS up.

#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#yu ziyuan#jiang yanli#jiang cheng#wei wuxian#Do you know how hard it was to *not* do a 'Sold To One Direction' spoof comic? It took nearly all my will power.#Mostly because it misaligns a little too far off from the canon events and vibes.#But sit with me for a moment. Consider it:#“BEEP BEEP BEEP. I threw my pillow at my alarm clock. ”Wei Wuxian get your lazy ass downstairs!“ Yu Ziyuan yelled.#I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see my grey orbs staring back at me.#I put my long straight black hair in a ponytail with a red ribbon.#I went downstairs to see my adoptive mother holding a bottle of vodka and a cigarette.#'Listen up whore! I need money to pay the bills so I sold you. Your new owners will be here any minute so go pack!'#I stormed upstairs. There was no way I was going to let her sell me to a creepy old man!#I decided to run away. Since I'm not like other girls I don't have very many friends.#My gay friend Lan Zhan was mean but he lived like a block away.#As I opened the door I saw Wen Chao blocking the door. 'Ello Love. We're your new owners!'#I rolled my eyes and pushed him. 'Aren't you from that stupid Wen Sect? There's no way in hell I'm going with you!'#Hey again. It's me the OP of this blog taking a pause. I haven't actually read this story before aside from the memes#and I am honestly reeling from how this watpad fic chapter ends. What do you mean one of the one direction boys chloroforms her???#Chapter 2 is so much worse#Why is there such a strong focus on the *eyes* of every boy!!!#This fanfic is a horror story actually. I came into it trying to make a funny parody but I got in over my head. Dear God.#It's me again. Several minutes have passed and I'm on chapter 4. What the FUCK is going on here?#I feel like I opened up pandora's box hoping for a fun little treat and got the plauge upon me. Dont read this fic.

Prompt 254
So. Danny might have accidentally become a bit of a cryptid. He didn’t mean to, but he’d become a bit nocturnal- like many an Amity Parker- and it wasn’t his fault that he couldn’t be bothered to make sound when he was tired. Or pretend to breathe or, okay, he could see why he kept freaking people out at the grocery store he kept going to. 
But it wasn’t his fault! He has to get food too! And really is it anyone else’s business? Seriously he thought that people wouldn’t be so surprised with how much magic is everywhere. Like you’d think they’d never seen someone who wasn’t fully human before or something. 
Oh great, there’s a journalist at the grocery store now- he’s going to ignore that and finish his shopping and then continue his online work. Ooh, and eat icecream. He deserves it for potentially putting up with this. 
Oh, it’s a little baby reporter, first couple of article thing. Adorable.

James T Kirk did not say “leave your bigotry in your quarters, there’s no room for it on the bridge.” in 1966 for any bigots to love Star Trek. Get out of the fandom you’re not welcome here.

When i say James Potter is the little spoon I mean Regulus hates having his back turned to anyone, hates having people where he can’t see them, hands on him while he’s unaware, but James loves being held at any given moment
Movie date? He’s pressed against Regulus’ side. Hanging out with Sirius? They’re essentially holding hands. He will plop down on Regulus’ lap randomly and all Regulus does is change the book to the other hand so he can play with James’ hair

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops
#I found out dr. kuras is 6'6 I said hold on lemme get a stool so I can climb this man#touchstarved#touchstarved game#touchstarved kuras#kuras#sleepyscribble#my mc is meant to be a self insert but also like. I wanted to come up w a design and character arc and everything jkvkvk#so I ended up basing her on my personality/looks but taking her into a direction that would fit the game#she's like. me but 'characterized' and a bit exaggerated for the sake of being a character yk#the way she turned out is that she's basically a friendly happy go lucky mage who laughs at her own misery but hides#a deep layer of self loathing underneath all that bc of her curse#having been cursed all her life she believes she's a monster and the sunny personality is a way for her to 'make up for it'#but at the same time she feels like a farse. like she's only luring ppl in to an inevitable demise#and she thinks she's selfish bc despite knowing the danger she poses she still goes out there and puts herself among ppl#bc she craves human connection. even tho she feels guilty for 'indulging' in it#anyway I love the cursed mc concept in this game <3 it's been really interesting to think abt how that would affect someone#also I kept her physical features looking pretty much like mine#bc I wanted to draw myself in a cute way. teehee#but the clothing I was basically thinking like. early game simple clothing that she didn't rlly pick for herself#and maybe later I can have an updated design w something she would actually pick for herself#oc.emma
