not rich: HAWAII!?!?
poly!twice x fem!reader
“Guess who just booked us a trip to Hawaii?” Nayeon burst into the room, phone in her hands showing everyone first class plane tickets.
“Really?!” Sana squealed getting up rushing towards Nayeon followed by everyone else. You however merely pouted, the girls always go on work related trips so it wasn’t anything new for you. You were just saddened by the thought of being alone for the next few days.
Jeongyeon sat next to you, her fingers running through your hair. “Why the long face aren’t you excited?”
You were confused, “of course I’m happy for you girls" you turn on your protective girlfriend mode and give them the same speech before any of their trips.
“make sure to eat and nap between meetings I know how drained you girls get after plane rides. Jihyo make sure not to drink too much you know what happened last time right? and Tzuyu make sure not to stare into the souls of the other people attending the meetings. And Dahyunie please don't get distracted by some candy store. ” you take a deep breathe before wanting to continue but a pair of arms come up from behind you pulling you into a bone crushing hug. And Dahyun stands in front of you Nayeon’s phone in hand.
“I don’t think you understand” Momo huffs into your ear, not planning on letting you go anytime soon.
And Dahyun shows you the phone screen, “see, there’s ten tickets here not nine, it’s vacation honey not work”
Your eyes widen in realization, “holy smokes”
“Fuck yes indeed! We’re going to Hawaii baby!” Chaeyoung squeals shaking Jihyo by the shoulders.
“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” You rush towards Nayeon, giving her a tight squeeze, “I’ve never been! Oh we could go to a luau or surfing or jet-skiing or just stuff our faces full of yummy food! Oh god this is going to be so much fun!”
The girls look at you with pure admiration in their eyes as you continue to gush about this upcoming trip.
——————
You’ve never seen first class seats in person and what astonished you was how much leg room you had. You swung your feet as you sat down and just couldn’t keep yourself from peeping into the little compartments of your seat.
You were sat between Tzuyu and Mina, only an aisle separating you from them. You were a giggly mess.
you? in first class? Past you would find it hard to believe that you even had the chance to ride first class. Your smile didn’t waiver, even as the plane took off. Okay Y/N calm down, you took a deep breath, calm down.
She can’t decide whether you’ve noticed, but Tzuyu couldn’t take her eyes off you. Once the plane had stabilized and everyone was free to take their seatbelts off, you were quick to press the button for assistance. Both Tzuyu and Mina noticed this and got worried if something went wrong.
“Baby, is everything okay?” Mina whispered hoping it doesn’t catch the attention of the other girls before all hell breaks loose.
“Is everything okay? Everything is going great!” You give her a sincere smile,
“Then why did you press-“
“Hello ma’am you called for assistance is there anything you need help with?” A flight attendant had cut Mina off, as she walked towards you.
“Yes I need help” You murmur, pulling out a sheet of paper from one of the compartments and showing it to the flight attendant, “which one do you think is better the Pinot Noir or the Cabernet Sauvignon”
Both Tzuyu and Mina’s jaws fell, “They’re both good ma’am but I’d like to point out that the Stella Rosa is a favorite although not as expensive the berry and pineapple flavors are quite tasty”
“Hmm okay, I think I’ll go for the berry flavor, thank you” You hummed to yourself as you waited for your drink to arrive, adjusting the pillow behind you and then the blanket that lazily laid on your lap.
“Baby? Don’t you think it’s a bit early for a drink?” Mina asked she’s not going to force you not to drink but she’s just concerned.
"I wouldn’t have assumed you were the type to drink much" Tzuyu commented.
"There's a lot you don't know about me cuties" You blow a kiss to Mina and wink a Tzuyu. The two look away, a soft blush coating their cheeks. You notice the flight attendant walking dow the aisle towards you, not before stopping at what you presumed Jihyo's seat as she hands a passenger a bottle of soju. "Here you go ma'am, enjoy"
As you take a sip, you let out a sigh of satisfaction, leaning into your seat, putting on some headphones and turning on some titanic. You can't wait for this trip to start.

im so done with seeing articles about kids and screen time that doesnt mention parent behaviors even once. “kids are always on their phones” so are the parents! which the kids look to for how they should behave! ipad babies didn’t chose to only play on their ipads, thats what their parents gave them!
an anecdotal example: when i was a kid, all my parents would do in their minimal free time was watch tv and then they would be surprised when in my sister and i’s minimal free time we would also only watch tv/play video games. they scolded us for not reading books, but they never read books. they scolded us for not going outside but they never went outside.
“kids are always on their damn phones” my mom is in her 60s and opens up candy crush anytime she’s sitting — it isnt just the kids
#side note but ipad babies are such a rich people thing too#like you’re gonna give your kid something that cost $400 and has an easily breakable screen?#that goes for smartphones too

Facebook deleted this almost immediately. It's almost like the ultrawealthy don't want us knowing or talking about what's at stake.

CEO!twice x fem!reader
- fluffy (poly!twice)
you walk into the large building carrying three bags of food, you smile at the receptionist as you make your way to the elevator. Another person walks in, she eyes you but you don’t mind, you’re just excited to meet your partners, feeling jitters you can’t keep still. “Stand still” the lady grunts out, fixing herself with a handheld mirror, annoyed by your childish act.
“Sorry ma’am” you mumble out, the elevator stops, and you try to quickly get out, but end up bumping shoulders with her, she scoffs moving out the way before you scurry out.
Taking a deep breath you walk towards the door you’re most familiar with. Just as you were about to knock, a hand gripped onto your wrist, “huh?” It's the same lady as before!
“What. Do. You. Think. You’re doing?” She grits out. “I came to see the CEOs” You answer back honestly.
“Do you have an appointment?”
“no”
“A meeting?”
“no”
“A specific reason?”
“not really”
“Then you aren’t allowed on this floor”
“What! No I have permission!”
She laughs, more like cackles in your face, “What makes you think you have permission to be here?” She takes one of the bags from your hands, “Is this instant ramen?” She gasps out, “Oh honey, these people are millionaires, you’re stupid street food doesn’t belong here, and neither do you”
You felt overwhelmed, who was this lady? And why isn’t she leaving you alone? The bag suddenly gets snatched from her hand, “instant is actually my favorite mind you” A voice scoffs out, you turn to see two of your partners. Nayeon puffs out her chest in pride keeping the bag close to her, so as to not let the precious ramen get in the wrong hands again. Whilst Tzuyu stands tall, glaring at the lady.
“B-boss!” The lady stutters bowing at the two. “I’m terribly sorry for bothering you, I was just about to escort this girl out” You shrink back at her stare, shuffling closer to your girlfriends.
“Who are you again?” Nayeon wonders out loud, digging through the bag, finding it filled with some of her favorites, including the ramen. “mmm sushi, love it” she sings out.
“I-im the new hire!” The lady squeaked. “Oh, really” Nayeon sounds surprised, “what happened to Mr. Jung?” She turns to Tzuyu, “He spilt coffee on Sana’s favorite rug” Nayeon snaps her fingers, “That’s right! Now I remember”
“I’d like to apologize again” The lady bows once more, “We will be on our way now thank you!” She goes to grab your arm once again before you're pulled back against Nayeon, as Tzuyu goes to stand in front of you two. Nayeon dramatically begins to coddle you.
“You’ll only be escorting yourself out, thank you” Tzuyu keeps her glare at the woman, as she stutters out a quick “Yes, sorry” before scurrying back towards the elevator, her heels clicking in the distance.
You pull Tzuyu to look at you, your thumb smoothing out the crease in between her eyebrows, “babe, don’t glare so much, you’ll start getting wrinkles early” Tzuyu grumbles out some incoherent words, something along the lines of “gonna pay” or “m’fire her”. Nayeon laughs before slapping Tzuyu’s back, causing the girl to gasp in pain, stumbling into you, “She’s right babe, don’t ruin your pretty face with ugly expressions, stay flawless like me” The girl poses, as Tzuyu just groans while you rub her back.
“Let’s go eat with the others, I’m starving. Thanks for the food babe” Nayeon squeals pecking your cheek before opening the door, letting you in.
Just as you were to follow her, Tzuyu puts her hand on your shoulder, “are you okay?” You nod, assuring her that your were fine. “Are you sure? It’s okay if you aren’t”
“Really Tzu, I’m okay” you lean to press a kiss on her cheek before entering the room.
And just as you three enter, all the girls stand up with huge smiles on their faces, Nayeon goes to strike another pose, “Yes ladies it is I, The Im Nay-“
“Y/N!” The girls squeal making running to embrace and greet you pushing Nayeon out of the way.
“My little baby! You look so cute today!” Sana squishes your cheeks as Momo rubs against you, scenting you like some animal.
They take turns pampering you, as Nayeon sulks to the side, Tzuyu rubbing her back.
“Wait” Dahyun’s sudden comment makes everyone stop, she walks up to you holding deep eye contact, her hand softly clasps onto yours and she brings it up, your sleeve falls and the bruise on your wrist reveals itself.
And once again you’re surrounded,
“How’d you get that!”
“Who did that to you!”
Why didn’t you tell us!”
“Are you hurt?”
“It was the administrator wasn’t it?” Tzuyu said, causing everyone to quiet down.
“Mr Jung? But he’s a caring person” Chaeyoung mentioned,
“Oh I fired him” Sana pipes up, “What!?”
“He stained my pink rug, you know the fluffy one?”
A series of ooos followed. You were tugged to the side by Jeongyeon who already had a miniature kit, applying some ointment.
“Let us know if you’re hurt next time okay” She pecks your forehead,
“Im sorry” you looked down, the girls look at each other, Jihyo pats your head, “What are you sorry for, bun?”
“I'm sorry for being so cheap” you whimper out, you’re voice stunned the girls. “I can't afford super fancy stuff like you guys- I can't give you expensive jewelry or gourmet food. All I can give you is instant ramen from that- that convenience store down the street, I can’t rent a limo to the club like you can, I’m sorry I can’t give you-“
“And that’s why we love you” mina is quick to wipe your tears with her thumb, caressing your face in her hands as the others take in what you said, agreeing with Mina, “you don’t buy us super expensive jewelry or gourmet food, because you’re not using money to win us over, you’re just being yourself”
“You're our sweet girl” Sana comes over to rub your shoulders
“We love you for you" Chaeyoung smiles.
And you’re instant ramen” Momo pipes up.
“Don’t let what that lady said get you baby, she won’t be here tomorrow anyways” Nayeon’s eyes darken at the thought of her.
Sana is quick to place you on her lap, as the other girls prepare the food you brought, changing their office to a mini dining room just like magic.
"Sometimes the cheaper things are just better"

Plot armor but it’s Bruce Wayne’s wealth.
Bruce is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce does not want to be one of the richest men in world.
He starts by implementing high starting salaries and full health care coverages for all levels at Wayne Enterprises. This in vastly improves retention and worker productivity, and WE profits soar. He increases PTO, grants generous parental and family leave, funds diversity initiatives, boosts salaries again. WE is ranked “#1 worker-friendly corporation”, and productively and profits soar again.
Ok, so clearly investing his workers isn’t the profit-destroying doomed strategy his peers claim it is. Bruce is going to keep doing it obviously (his next initiative is to ensure all part-time and contractors get the same benefits and pay as full time employees), but he is going to have to find a different way to dump his money.
But you know what else is supposed to be prohibitively expensive? Green and ethical initiatives. Yes, Bruce can do that. He creates and fund a 10 year plan to covert all Wayne facilities to renewable energy. He overhauls all factories to employ the best environmentally friendly practices and technologies. He cuts contracts with all suppliers that engage in unethical employment practices and pays for other to upgrade their equipment and facilities to meet WE’s new environmental and safety requirements. He spares no expense.
Yeah, Wayne Enterprises is so successful that they spin off an entire new business arm focused on helping other companies convert to environmentally friendly and safe practices like they did in an efficient, cost effective, successful way.
Admittedly, investing in his own company was probably never going to be the best way to get rid of his wealth. He slashes his own salary to a pittance (god knows he has more money than he could possibly know what to do with already) and keeps investing the profits back into the workers, and WE keeps responding with nearly terrifying success.
So WE is a no-go, and Bruce now has numerous angry billionaires on his back because they’ve been claiming all these measures he’s implementing are too expensive to justify for decades and they’re finding it a little hard to keep the wool over everyone’s eyes when Idiot Softheart Bruice Wayne has money spilling out his ears. BUT Bruce can invest in Gotham. That’ll go well, right?
Gotham’s infrastructure is the OSHA anti-Christ and even what little is up to code is constantly getting destroyed by Rogue attacks. Surely THAT will be a money sink.
Except the only non-corrupt employer in Gotham city is….Wayne Enterprises. Or contractors or companies or businesses that somehow, in some way or other, feed back to WE. Paying wholesale for improvement to Gotham’s infrastructure somehow increases WE’s profits.
Bruce funds a full system overhaul of Gotham hospital (it’s not his fault the best administrative system software is WE—he looked), he sets up foundations and trusts for shelters, free clinics, schools, meal plans, day care, literally anything he can think of.
Gotham continues to be a shithole. Bruce Wayne continues to be richer than god against his Batman-ingrained will.
Oh, and Bruice Wayne is no longer viewed as solely a spoiled idiot nepo baby. The public responds by investing in WE and anything else he owns, and stop doing this, please.
Bruce sets up a foundation to pay the college tuition of every Gotham citizen who applies. It’s so successful that within 10 years, donations from previous recipients more than cover incoming need, and Bruce can’t even donate to his own charity.
But by this time, Bruce has children. If he can’t get rid of his wealth, he can at least distribute it, right?
Except Dick Grayson absolutely refuses to receive any of his money, won’t touch his trust fund, and in fact has never been so successful and creative with his hacking skills as he is in dumping the money BACK on Bruce. Jason died and won’t legally resurrect to take his trust fund. Tim has his own inherited wealth, refuses to inherit more, and in fact happily joins forces with Dick to hack accounts and return whatever money he tries to give them. Cass has no concept of monetary wealth and gives him panicked, overwhelmed eyes whenever he so much as implies offering more than $100 at once. Damian is showing worrying signs of following in his precious Richard’s footsteps, and Babs barely allows him to fund tech for the Clocktower. At least Steph lets him pay for her tuition and uses his credit card to buy unholy amounts of Batburger. But that is hardly a drop in the ocean of Bruce’s wealth. And she won’t even accept a trust fund of only one million.
Jason wins for best-worst child though because he currently runs a very lucrative crime empire. And although he pours the vast, vast majority of his profits back into Crime Alley, whenever he gets a little too rich for his tastes, he dumps the money on Bruce. At this point, Bruce almost wishes he was being used for money laundering because then he’s at least not have the money.
So children—generous, kindhearted, stubborn till the day they die the little shits, children—are also out.
Bruce was funding the Justice League. But then finances were leaked, and the public had an outcry over one man holding so much sway over the world’s superheroes (nevermind Bruce is one of those superheroes—but the public can’t know that). So Bruce had to do some fancy PR trickery, concede to a policy of not receiving a majority of funds from one individual, and significantly decrease his contributions because no one could match his donations.
At his wits end, Bruce hires a team of accounts to search through every crinkle and crevice of tax law to find what loopholes or shortcuts can be avoided in order to pay his damn taxes to the MAX.
The results are horrifying. According to the strictest definition of the law, the government owes him money.
Bruce burns the report, buries any evidence as deeply as he can, and organizes a foundation to lobby for FAR higher taxation of the upper class.
All this, and Wayne Enterprises is happily chugging along, churning profit, expanding into new markets, growing in the stock market, and trying to force the credit and proportionate compensation on their increasingly horrified CEO.
Bruce Wayne is one of the richest men in the world. Bruce Wayne will never not be one of the richest men in the world.
But by GOD is he trying.
#batman#bruce wayne#laws of this dc universe say Gotham is always a hellcity#and bruce wayne is always filthy rich#bruce wayne is fighting with everything he has against both those facts#he’s not going to win#but he’s not going to stop either#bruce crying with fistfuls of money in his hands: take it. PLEASE#the public: donate more???

Growth capitalism is a deranged fantasy for lunatics.
Year 1, your business makes a million dollars in profit. Great start!
Year 2, you make another million. Oh no! Your business is failing because you didn't make more than last year!
Okay, say year 2 you make $2 mil. Now you're profitable!
Then year 3 you make $3 mil. Oh no! Your business is failing! But wait, you made more money than last year right? Sure, but you didn't make ENOUGH more than last year so actually your business is actively tanking! Time to sell off shares and dismantle it for parts! You should have made $4 mil in profit to be profitable, you fool!
If you're not making more money every year by an ever-increasing exponent, the business is failing!
Absolute degenerate LUNACY
