CLOSED RP Starter; World's Dumbest Ransom

( with @ask-bellringer )

Well, lucky for Allan cogbucks are small, he can carry practically all the money he has to his name in his POCKET. The unlucky bit is just how small toontown is to him, the docks of Barnacle Boatyard creak beneath his feet, threatening to give way under any feet that don't belong to the average toon or cog. Regardless, he thinks he found the place, so he rests his cane against the most stable-looking building beside him (probably scaring the shit out of any cogs looking out the window), and tries to find where he should (or even COULD) knock.

Did I just make my anthropology paper on crisis, collapse, and resilience about Mount Tamboura, the year without a summer, and the panic of 1819? Am I using this as an excuse to justify getting copies of some of Benjamin Tallmadge's letters?

Yes. Yes I am

I’m curious if other communists have like a religious relationship to their political beliefs for lack of a better word? That’s not a good word to use but I don’t know how else to describe it. I’m solidly atheist but all of the feelings and emotions religious people talk about, revelation and spiritual connection to community and so on are all things I experience pretty regularly and I interpret those feelings as fundamentally communist. the way I take in and absorb information in particular feels revelatory in a religious sense. I’m pretty sure this is fairly common with MLs but I’m curious about it in general

This meme is ancient but I randomly saw it again and i needed to do it..... (not sure abt some of the charas but just wanted to fill up space dmfbn)

Improbable headcanon (mostly because I'm unsure if he'd have the right tools); Peter got tired of nearly hitting walls and relying on his spidersense to guide him with his poor vision, and one day impulsively managed to scavenge his glasses' lenses to be refit into the goggles. He sees better as Noir and worse as himself. The daylight world is blurry now. He's leaving himself behind.

this kills the man (me)

Is it a viable way of life? not really. but do i love it narratively.... why yes i do. "hes leaving himself behind" ough. i love the abandonment of self,, yes the spider god changed him, but that was against his own will. Here he's choosing to render himself blind in the daylight, choosing to lean into the spider that was cast upon him, all on his own.

the reason this took so long for me to answer was because i was also trying to figure out the probability (since you mentioned it). unluckily for me, finding info on how prescription glasses lenses are manufactured is more difficult than I thought, even for TODAY. So bear in mind that what I'm gonna talk about is current day tools, and not from the 1930s lol.

Closest thing ive got to an answer is that he can refit the lenses. Thank god Pete wears like jugunda glasses because he would be out of luck if they were too small to fit the frames of his goggles.

i feel like these could work?

The most likely thing he could do would be hand edging his lenses, which is a fancy way of saying he'd sand them down to fit the shape he needs. You're definitely not supposed to do this LOL but pete's in a tight spot so I'll give him that. For the life of me i can't even find when glasses started accounting for PD (pupillary distance) and OC (ocular center), but if they did that in the 1930s, pete's glasses r definitely not working at 100%. So if ur into a little sadness there you go: he goes through all this trouble to see at night and his glasses don't even work as well as they used to. the parker fortune.

If his lenses were too small (and if the goggle lenses were thick enough) he could try and grind some curvature into them to match his current lenses. This is even more makeshift then the last option, but The Spider Man is nothing but makeshift parts, so it kinda fits. This method would be a ton of trial and error + it wouldn't account for any astigmatisms. But at least he'd get to keep his daytime lenses?

id say his best bet is befriending an optician or something

I think the root of my love for Will Tavington is the moment where Ben Martin is trying to mainsplain the rules of war to him, and Will just pulls a gun on him.

[star-trek-fandom-confessions]

It's another answer for the answers following the confession about Benjamin Sisko/Solok: Lot of white character who appeared in just one episode have often a small fandom. In Solok's case, fans like to write fanfic shipping him with a OFC. It's not bad, but I think his scenes with Benjamin Sisko could have a subtext that Solok is attracted by Benjamin Sisko. Popular white male characters are often ship in gay relationship: Kirk/Spock, Picard/Q, Bashir/Garak, but Benjamin Sisko is that one characters fans just don't ship with anyone.

The confession just make a wrong assumption: if Benjamin Sisko was white, everyone would have ship him with Dukat. Kasidy would have been the most hated character ever because slash shippers are awful with female character and even worse if they aren't white.

The writers didn't put a lot of effort in the Benjamin/Kasidy ship anyway.

[spider-man-2o99]

I remember there was an interview where it was stated that Spider-Man 2099's swear of choice being Shock was derived from mixing the two exclamations of "shit" and "cock" and under that logic does that mean they could also have "fuck" and "hell" merged into Fell/Huck and you could insult someone by calling them a "feller"

This is the 21st century. We pledged to never allow such similar events ever to occur again in the post wwii.

Yet, the world has failed Palestinians immensely. Why have we made such pledges if we cannot fully carry them out to the extent we vowed to do so?
