Old Deadpool comics are so fun because it's like having this weird close friend group where people kind of all know each other but don't really know each other. Or even like each other that much.

Like Wade has a kind-of-who-knows-at-this-point "Best" friend tech guy who kind of tolerates him and he tolerates that used to be Peter's college classmate. He almost took a gig from Osborn but actually was Bullseye fucking with him in revenge while dressed up in a Clint old suit. He got on a mission with Black Widow. He got beef with Avengers clones to a point the avengers themselves got to be involved. They don't like him he doesn't like them so they both agree to be civil to do the damn mission so everyone can go their own way. He's having a middle age crisis where he kind of wants to quit being a mercenary but he doesn't know yet who the fuck else he could be and all the reasons pointing up to be a hero are wrong and distorted in his own egoistic views.

A hit monkey want to fuckin kill him. The hit monkey doesn't know he's immortal. The hit-monkey never saw him personally but somehow set him up to get his jaw sucker punched by Spider-Man. Which results in the worst team ever for both of them. I sweat to god except from fucking Old man Logan, I've never seen Wade so stressed in working with someone. And while this whole shit storm works, Wade keeps bullshitting about Peter's life being so fucking easy and loved by the public and Peter has to stay there and listen to it. They bump into each other on the subway out of costume and Peter hates him on sight.

Wade doesn't want to be there and the first opportunity to bail on Spider-Man he takes it and Spider-Man on the other hand learns that Deadpool is immortal and kind of gets "Okay what if we let you get shot" and Wade is so offended he starts calling him names.

Wade goes to bother X-Men, X-men tells him to fuck off. Wade considers blowing up X-Men for full two panels. X-Men sends Domino who's kind of one of Wade's friend to fuck with Deadpool, we're convinced by two pages he beat the shit out of her, just to show up on the next pages that he actually made her fall over a bunch of pancakes.

It's so messy, it's so fucking funny because it's not "oh it's this BIG THING" and this "BIG TEAM UP" it's like they're on the same city, they have similar jobs of course they're going to bump on each other.

Computers come to New York: on February 23, 1959, NYC Budget Director (and future mayor) Abraham Beame and Comptroller Lawrence E. Gerosa examine the newfangled machine that turn out paychecks for city employees, complete with deductions. It was estimated that it would save the city half a million dollars a year and do the work of 200 employees.

Follow-up on the previous hockey position question, who plays goalie? Does someone just have to gear up randomly?

I totally didn't forget about goalies, nooooo. Anywaayyy super sorry about how long this took, finally got a hockey stick and literally have not touched the computer in days lol, BUT tis finally here.

HOCKEY STATES WOOOOOO-

New York: Forward, center, Goalie (only when he has too)

Tennessee: Defense, left-wing (doesn’t play often) Goalie (sorta consistently?)

Colorado: Defense: right-wing, Goalie (only one who plays this consistently)

Minnesota: Forward, left-wing, Goalie (mainly if Colorado is goalie on opp team)

Oregon: Defense, left-wing, Goalie (masochist)

Sooo yeah! Mainly based in like feels ya know, I feel like it sometimes is just picking a name out of a hat to see who has to get pelted with pucks, but normally it'll tend(y) to be these guys

On chapter twenty draft one for The Pied Piper of New York. I cannot tell you how tempted I am to make a post of all my favourite bits from chapters 14-20, but there's no way I can do that without spoiling half the fic.

There's a bit from the end of chapter 19 that I am so so excited to post, so right now I'm just shaking The Pied Piper of New York like a dog with a chew toy.
