I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.

it's kinda wild that it took the mcelroy brothers 13 years and 678 episodes to drop their "our great great uncle was the chief purser on the titanic" lore. if i were them i would never stop talking about that.

[quixoticprince]

I don't think the fact that The Administrator is older than the invention of stairs in TF2 is talked about enough

Curse you Shakespearicles

SOTM Spoilers:

Seeing Mimic like this make me SO MAD at Edwin.

Like he's literally a Frankenstien's monster. He was beaten and outcast all because he was doing what he was made to do.

That and it might be implied that M2 might be possessed by the soul of David.

And like if that's the case...OF COURSE HE WOULD BE SCARED AND ANGRY!

He's four and outta nowhere his dad is attacking him and beating him and being mean to him and he doesn't understand why.

I'm literally going to cry, Mimic 2 is just a baby, just a little guy. He didn't deserve this. LIKE EDWIN TAKE CARE OF YOUR FUCKING ROBOT KID!

Alfred: You! Danny: Me? Alfred: You! How are you here?! How did you escape!? Danny: Um, I think you have me confused with someone else, sir. Alfred: No, I would never forget that face, even if it's been twenty years. I know you, Danny Phantom! Danny: *Nervous Laugh* Whaaa, nooooo. Danny Phantom is a ghost, and as you can see, I'm perfectly alive. Alfred, pulling out a ghost-hunting knife from his shoe: I fought my way through your domain, and I beat you once. I will do it again! Danny: Whoa, whoa, sir! Please, I don't know what you're talking about! I don't know you! Dick: Alfred! What are you doing!? Stop! Alfred: DIE, BEAST! Danny: Aghhhh! Dick: No! Alfred stop- Clockwork: Pause Danny: Clockwork! Great timing! You saved me! Thank you! This guy was about to stab me in the neck. Clockwork: You are welcome, and you have a good reason to be afraid. Alfred Pennyworth is a fearsome foe. Danny: Oh, wait, you know him? Clockwork: Yes. In your future, but Pennyworth's past, I assigned you a mission to bring me Thomas Wayne as a potential husband candidate due to a contract I have with his bloodline. Peenyworth believed I was going to force the man into the marriage, and broke into the Infinite Realms to get him back. He attacked my tower, and you were dispatched to stop him. But he won and sealed you away in a copy of the Sarcophagus of Forever Sleep that he made, and blew up my Haunt while carrying out Wayne. Danny horrifed: What? Clockwork: I know he's a terrying little human. Let's skedaddle before he breaks my hold on time. Danny: He can do that? Alfred: *twitching agressively* Clockwork scared: Yeah he can, that's how he blew up my tower. Let's get the fudge out here.
