thinking about.. retired!dilf-but-no-kids!deku.. and the hedonistic lifestyle he starts living the second he retires as no. 1 hero..
the thing about him.. he’s nasty, his house becomes a blacklight’s nightmare, there’s a certain musk that begins to linger in the air as a result of his new.. hobby.
the hobby being wrapping a hand around his cock and talking to strangers on the internet.. watching copious amounts of porn.. spending his massive amounts of wealth on toys and custom vids from his favorite pornstars of both genders..
he’s still the symbol of peace in the physical sense.. all soft muscle and titan-like build.. but in character? fat chance.
He’s just like every other sleazy old man who loves busting nuts above everything else, he loves sleeping in and immediately taking care of his morning wood, loves having porn on the living room tv and watching it like it’s the news, loves wearing the same pair of undies for days on end.
(bonus)
he coaxes you into this lifestyle after getting together with you, convinces you to quit your job and slowly pulls back the mask of nobility he created. <3
ur horny old bf who just wants to live carefree and hornily alongside you. <3
He... is........................... DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
Fucking ass print sweat stain on his office chair from constantly jerking off, he’ll answer the phone and even FaceTimes right in the middle of a diddle, hair pushed back with all that natural grease, face all sweaty and pink!! He barely even cares to listen, either—too distracted by the screen full of ass behind the electronic brick to give a damn about taxes or Bakugo’s latest complaints or whatever else it is. 
(Until it's you who's calling, then he's finally willing to listen even if he's still going to ask you to flash your tits at him by the end of the call...)
But he’ll even do this in person, when he’s busy looking at his collection of your home videos and someone comes into his office, or even you, yourself, get close enough for him to touch your tits. Rather than paying attention to the words, he’ll hone in on the way your body feels in his hands, the image of your pretty pussy on screen… and soon enough he’s so spaced out that he’s hard, leaky and desperate to get into your panties for real.
And god, when he walks around the house with his cock out… it’s horribly sexy but emphasis on HORRIBLE… you don’t know whether to love it or hate it, especially when he cages you into the closest wall and grinds himself wet and sticky in between your thighs, whining just to let him have you, that he wants a treat :((((( ... just tweak his nipple a little, put your fingers, yes, baby, there... or get on your knees for him pleasepleaseplease, he doesn’t care that you’re busy, he’s a fiend itching for a fix. 
That old acting like a damn teenager!!! A bitch in heat! And he doesn't even care, not after spending his whole life working his ass of for the benefit of other people. It's his turn to enjoy himself.
And don’t you dare tell him about any interest you have in his friends… boys, girls, anyone and he’ll practically pay to watch you get fucked by them. To see one of his high school friends rub their pussy on your face or spit cum back into your mouth (or vice versa)... only for you to pull him into the mix, too... he's so, SO sick!!
...At least when you're together he's able to get rid of his horrible collection of video downloads and hundreds of dollars worth of escort subscriptions... and get tested for STDS... and starts to clean his sheets once in a while... and eating better... and—I give up.

Elon Musk
A few other things you probably don’t know: illegals in America can get bank loans, mortgages, insurance, driver’s licenses, free healthcare (California & New York), and in-state college tuition.
What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits, but doesn’t pay taxes or do jury duty?

Have a dump of my various riddler headcanons because I want to share them 💔 not for any specific verse I just apply them as they make sense
- really good at like slight of hand magic (like that pulling quarters out from behind people’s ears stuff) flexes it a lot despite most people being pretty unimpressed since like - actual magicians exist
- chronic migraines; complains and whines about them when they are bad but most of the time seems pretty unfazed by them
- does all of his taxes by himself, and by hand. Refuses to invest in an accountant or just do his taxes online like any normal person
- resident man friend for the women, drives them around to bars on girls nights and rounds them up when it is time to go home.
- texts extremely formally, basically like it is an email. Corrects other people’s grammar and spelling in texts, and shames people for using emojis
- on the note of texting, since he doesn’t use things like lol, he will type “Laughing Out Loud” refusing to do any abbreviations
- the equivalent to an elon musk dick rider but for bruce wayne on twitter. He hypes up anything wayne tech does on all of his accounts to an extreme where he probably gets bullied for it by teenagers online.
- watches reality tv (i.e keeping up with the Kardashians) but as a guilty pleasure.
- IT guy for most of the rogues, if they are willing to deal with him gloating and will pay him he doesn’t mind coming over and fixing their tech and computers. Its just a matter of it they mind dealing with him.
- bad reflexes + low pain tolerance + clumsy as shit sometimes. It is honestly a miracle he hasn’t died building his own death traps.
- working for him includes a dental and healthcare package (echo and query forced him to do this), if batman really kicks your ass you may get paid time off or if your spouse has a kid/someone has a kid he could possibly give paternity leave. Depends on his mood when you ask.
- honestly, really good at fantasy sports. he likes crunching the stats and all that. Kind of dominating the rogue fantasy league; likes coming up with the punishment for the losers
- also really good at stock investing; has considered running an NFT scam to trick stupid people into just giving him money. However doesn’t want to deal with the federal government if he gets caught since thats like… fraud.
- refers to his therapist in arkham strictly by their first name purely to be disrespectful
- possibly, maybe, composes his own music for anytime he takes over billboards in Gotham. Gotta make sure the people have some tunes to listen too as he quizzes Batman.
- allergic to animal fur, also just generally thinks animals are gross.
- the guy who talks through the entire movie trying to explain and guess every minute plot point and event in the movie. Gets mad when he is wrong, probably turns off the movie if someone points out that he was wrong. Generally just horrible to watch movies with, honestly.
- collects old books and stamps. Has a little shelf/binder full of them he is pretty proud of.
- banned from any and all escape rooms in Gotham after signing up for one once, covering the cameras, and converting it into a death trap for a poor staff member to find when he finally left because nobody in the staff is paid enough to kick him out
- really into gambling, gets really down and out when he loses, but whenever he wins he goes absolutely bananas. Definitely does not have a rigged slot machine in his little hideaway that only gives him wins that he uses whenever he is in a bad mood.
- car guy. he really likes cars.
- really nice cologne, still somehow always has an underlying smell of motor oil or a similar smell on him however. He doesn’t smell bad, it’s just something noticeable if around him for a while.
- gatekeeps whoever he orders all his custom stuff from.
- absolutely horrible at keeping secrets unless it has some sort of blackmail behind it, or he is getting paid to keep quiet.

This is going to be a long text post about the economy. If you want to understand why republicans have actually NEVER been good for the economy, I’m going to try and explain it in the most basic terms possible.
The longer I look at it, the more I become convinced that the entire long game for the GOP and other conservative groups is to return us to a feudal system.
1. The value of money:
So we used to trade, a barter system. But what happens if you’re offering chickens in exchange for grain, but I don’t want your chickens? Currency is a go between, an intermediary. We all essentially agree on what it’s worth. I agree that one coin is equal to one quarter chicken. So if you were going to pay me a chicken, you can instead pay me four coins. I can then use those coins for other goods, and so on. Sometimes the value of currency is based on resources held by the state issuing it—like how much gold they have. Sometimes their credit is literally a function of their reputation and influence.
2. How rich people behave
No rich person actually has what they are worth. For example: Musk is not the richest man in the world. Not really. If I said I was worth 6 million dollars, only about 1/5 is in actual monetary liquid assets, in a bank account. It doesn’t have to be.
Whenever I get a bit of money, I go and I buy an asset like a home or art or a yacht or a fortified palatial home, or a private army, or gems,’or gold, or valuable property and resource rights, etc. if I decide to get rid of any of these assets, they can be improved and so make me back more on my investment. I, as a rich person, use currency to buy resources, and then, even if the currency crashes, I still own things that we can all agree are valuable.
By hoarding the wealth, they actively destabilize its value, but on the way, they can purchase resources. Once they have those resources, they have value without having to hold currency. So even if you did all suddenly wake up and say “wait a minute…we agree to what this currency is worth” and then stopped participating in capitalism, they’d still inhabit, occupy, or control the resources, have a fortified position, and an army of defendants.
3. How Republicans and Conservatives behave.
Every single decision they have made in the last seventy years was to begin amassing wealth: changing tax codes, deregulating business, industry, trade, outsourcing of labor to cheaper markets, allowing speculation on the stock market, bailing out wealthy people, and so on…all of these have been geared toward allowing people to charge what they want, keep most from the government, use it to influence politics, and swing elections toward candidates who will embrace even more population and control and enrichment.
They want to destabilize our currency on the way to amassing resources, so that they can fund becoming land barons with private armies. They want a puppet king, influenced and ingratiating himself to them for enrichment. They want to destroy those who dissent and dehumanize them. They want to use religion to control power by claiming it is established by god. They don’t want elections. They want arbitration by the wealthy. They want to rebuild the reality that led to the signing of the Magna Carta.
We are going backward.

Being a disabled anticapitalist always leads to fun for me, and I mean that sincerely. Any time the opportunity arises, I get to pull out the extremely loaded statement of “I think healthcare should be free in this country”. Now, when you’re disabled and you can’t work, there are a handful of ways people who aren’t already on board with “capitalism kinda sucks” can respond.
Some people take the route that leads to them effectively telling me that I should just die. I will proceed to inform them that they just told me to die. This makes them very uncomfortable. Good.
Some people take the route where they just blandly agree and this is unfortunately the least fun option for me, as I do not get to tell them that capitalism sucks if they agree at this stage.
And then you have the people who do not agree, but they realize that almost every response implying that the system works fine enough is a response telling me to just die. It might take them a few tries to get to the response I want, but they always land at the point where I can unload the anti capitalist propaganda.
They might point out that free healthcare in Canada or the UK is slow, so you point out that Germany’s healthcare is one of the best in the world, and that’s free. Bonus on this one is you also get to toss in that free education is important too.
They might say that they agree that disabled people should get free healthcare, to which I point out that the system for getting on disability in the first place is obscenely hostile, and that I only managed it due to having a supportive family and access to doctors that could help me get all the necessary stuff in order, and so plenty of people would still fall through the cracks. Bonus on this one is I get to point out that if the average rent is around $1300 a month and you get paid $800 a month for disability, that’s eugenics. That’s being set up to fail in such a way that it leads to death.
But eventually. Eventually they will ask how it is funded. And this is the response I want. Because it’s a legitimate question! They don’t know how it’d be funded. The answer is obviously tax dollars, and then the inevitable worry about their taxes raising comes up. So I get to teach them about tax brackets! I get to explain exactly why taxing the rich wouldn’t affect them heavily even if they were to somehow sigma grindset their way to being a millionaire. And once people understand tax brackets, they understand that your Elon Musks, your Bills of the Gate, and your Jeff Bezbosez are gonna be paying so much more. So, so much more. And then it clicks. Even if their taxes go up a little bit... free healthcare is largely coming out of the pockets of those much, much richer than them. And they do the math. And they figure it out. They figure out that they get to pocket so much more money as a result. They figure out that they can still have their dream of getting rich. And now they’re listening.
Obviously keep in mind, people aren’t having their minds changed overnight. They still think capitalism is working well enough. But you point out how a UBI would be good, they’ll agree. Unemployment doesn’t last forever, and there are situations that unemployment doesn’t cover. You point out that it’s fucked up that someone can just be let to go hungry, that supermarkets throw out tons of edible food every day and then intentionally contaminate it. You point out that, sure, there are valid reasons for evictions to happen, but that doesn’t mean people should live on the streets and public housing is important.
You have a foot in for all of the most basic of basic anti capitalist talking points. And the only caveat is that you can’t actually say things like “captialism” or “communism”, not yet at least. You gotta speak in code here. “Capitalism” becomes “the current economic system”. “Communism” and “socialism” become “some alternate economic system”. “Anarchism” becomes “caring for your neighbor”. You will one day use the proper words for these things. But understand that capitalist realism is strong, and you must undermine it slowly and steadily.

Scratch the surface of a libertarian and you’ll often find a greedy reactionary. In the case of Elon Musk and his old buddy Peter Thiel, you’ll uncover fascism-friendly oligarchs.
Musk doesn’t think filthy rich people should have to pay taxes. Because even the non-demented wing of the GOP will do the economic bidding of oligarchs, Musk considers people like the homophobic Ron DeSantis to be “centrist”.

I have watched The Office from start to finish and created a list of what I believe every character’s politics to be, listed in order of who would be most likely to scab.
Disclaimer: I do not think that being a scab or having bad politics makes the character inherently bad, this is just how I think they would act. Also I know I left out some later characters bc I hated seasons 8 and 9, sorry. 
Jan: girlbossy suburban Republican mom vibes, literally union busts the warehouse workers
Todd Packer: alt right
Dwight: right wing authoritarian, believes in weird conspiracy theories, volunteer police officer, always jumps at the opportunity to impress the boss
Angela: conservative Christian, Reagan Republican 
Michael: “fiscally conservative but socially liberal” vibes, probably votes Republican for tax reasons but wants to think he’s unproblematic, reports warehouse workers’ union drive to Jan
Gabe: libertarian with creepy racist/misogynistic vibes
Andy: votes Republican bc his parents do
Kevin: libertarian, would probably do crypto and stan Elon Musk
Ryan: after being fired becomes an internet leftist who reads Marx for clout but would still throw his coworkers under the bus at any moment for his own personal benefit
Karen: ladder climber, girlbossy liberal
Toby: conservative Democrat, would scab bc he works for HR
Holly: center-left Democrat, the type of person who thinks the New York Times is objective
Phyllis: centrist Democrat, NIMBY vibes
Roy: supported unionization as a warehouse worker but becomes conservative after starting his own company
Jim: milquetoast Democrat, more left leaning in the earlier seasons but drifts more centrist as he becomes a homeowner and gets promoted to management positions
Pam: more left than Jim but is afraid of things that veer too far from the mainstream (read: socialism)
Kelly: liberal, gets all her news from social media
Erin: doesn’t pay attention to politics
Creed: participated in 1960′s counterculture but has gone down some sort of weird fringe path
Meredith: the wild card, doesn’t vote bc neither party adequately addresses her needs
Oscar: progressive Democrat with radlib characteristics
Stanley: was a radical when he was younger but has become cynical and resigned to life under capitalism
Darryl: progressive Democrat, wanted to unionize the warehouse workers

There Is No Other

The mother sitting across from me at the lunch table sighed when I asked about her daughter.  “She’s thinking about moving to Pennsylvania.  Since she works from home, she can live anywhere.  Rural Pennsylvania seems to be the one place where houses are affordable. “ The dilemma is common. Several of my friends with well-educated children between the ages of 20-35 continue to provide shelter for their offspring. The American dream is a hard slog for younger generations, I’m sorry to say.  Nor am I happy about the state of the planet they are inheriting.   If we older Americans had anticipated climate change, we might have purchased fewer gas-guzzling cars.   Or, maybe not.  Our species has a penchant for choosing present gratification over making plans for the future.  Even so, some of us might have girded our loins to fight climate change sooner. What I ponder at present is whether the older generation is cheating those who have followed. If so, society might rightly adopt the Inuit practice of leaving the frail elderly to die on ice floats.  Fortunately, Michael Hiltzik, writing for the L.A. Times doesn’t think old folks are to blame for the state of the economy. Social Security and Medicare aren’t the oft-cited reasons the young have fewer possibilities.      Most seniors, he reminds us, paid for their Social Security benefits during their productive years. Only the working poor receive more from the agency than their lifetime contributions. Even so, few wish to punish people who struggled all their lives on slave wages. And, as a benefit to all, we should remember that for decades the U. S. government has borrowed from the insurance fund to satisfy other debts. The elderly do receive government assistance to pay for prescription drugs. The tab would be less if Congress allowed Medicare to negotiate with Big Pharma.  Hiltzik points to Joe Biden’s success in reducing the cost of diabetes medication once Congress granted him a waiver. Any perceived schism between youth and age is a false one, the author proclaims. America has more than enough resources to meet all the social needs of all generations. A shortfall exists because of the tax cuts enacted by Republicans for the benefit of corporations and the wealthy.   To support his claim, people remark that in the Dwight D. Eisenhower years, taxes on the rich could reach 91% of income.  However, they forget much of this money was never collected. Scott Greenberg of the Tax Foundation writes that tax laws have long enabled tax avoidance. …the existence of the 91 percent bracket did not necessarily lead to significantly higher revenue collections from the top 1 percent.  As proof, who over the age of 50 has forgotten businesswoman Leona Helmsley’s words? Only the little people pay taxes.  Or, Donald Trump’s brag that he was too smart to pay taxes? Whether Hiltzik’s point about our economics is right or wrong, few deny the super-rich exercise an undue influence over the  government. Elon Musk’s money allows him to imagine he can engage in discussions with Vladimir Putin over the conduct of the Ukraine war. In 1953 multimillionaire Lewis Stauss fed Robert Oppenheimer to the lions when the scientist opposed the construction of the hydrogen bomb. (“The Fallout of J. Robert Oppenheimer’s Story Lingers, an interview with Kai Bird, Concerned Scientist, Volume 23, Fall, 2023, pg. 13.)  Dr. Anthony Fauci’s treatment at the hands of Donald Trump is a recent victim of the same abuse.   Even so, money doesn’t buy happiness.  One Indian philosopher warns most often money buys burnout. (“Groovy.” By Mickey Rapkin, Town&Country, Dec. 2023-Jan 2024, pg. 141.)  Another warns, When you have exhausted everything outside the only way to go is in. (Ibid, pg. 140) Those who take that path of introspection enter a tulgy wood of doubt and shadows. If they finish the journey they may come to realize life has nothing to do with acquisitions. Life is about mergers. When we see an individual not as a competitor but as an extension of ourselves, the way a wave is an extension of the ocean, we stumble upon a moment when a glimpse of universal harmony is possible.

“A tax of up to 5 percent on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion a year, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty.
The richest 1 percent grabbed nearly two-thirds of all new wealth worth $42 trillion created since 2020, almost twice as much money as the bottom 99 percent of the world’s population, reveals a new Oxfam report today. During the past decade, the richest 1 percent had captured around half of all new wealth.”
““While ordinary people are making daily sacrifices on essentials like food, the super-rich have outdone even their wildest dreams. Just two years in, this decade is shaping up to be the best yet for billionaires —a roaring ‘20s boom for the world’s richest,” said Gabriela Bucher, Executive Director of Oxfam International.
“Taxing the super-rich and big corporations is the door out of today’s overlapping crises. It’s time we demolish the convenient myth that tax cuts for the richest result in their wealth somehow ‘trickling down’ to everyone else. Forty years of tax cuts for the super-rich have shown that a rising tide doesn’t lift all ships —just the superyachts.”
“Elon Musk, one of the world’s richest men, paid a “true tax rate” of about 3 percent between 2014 and 2018. Aber Christine, a flour vendor in Uganda, makes $80 a month and pays a tax rate of 40 percent.”
“Oxfam is calling on governments to:
Introduce one-off solidarity wealth taxes and windfall taxes to end crisis profiteering.
Permanently increase taxes on the richest 1 percent, for example to at least 60 percent of their income from labor and capital, with higher rates for multi-millionaires and billionaires. Governments must especially raise taxes on capital gains, which are subject to lower tax rates than other forms of income.
Tax the wealth of the richest 1 percent at rates high enough to significantly reduce the numbers and wealth of the richest people, and redistribute these resources. This includes implementing inheritance, property and land taxes, as well as net wealth taxes.”

Even if you tax every billionaire in America at 100%, it barely makes a dent in the national debt. In the end, the government will be forced to tax everyone to pay the debt.
