[tlv] impromptu post from shaw about working in the infirmary, take 2
thank u sheehan for giving her a space to be unfairly grouchy before she wrote this
Screaming.... I am very very slow but it is true that Walter actually did think be she had a point with that part too
And it impressed him slightly
The thought she'd brought up with Walter stiggle niggles, though I'm sorry this is so funny
STIGGLE NIGGLES LMAO OH MY GOD
i'm going to fix it, but with some regret
fun fact that made it through four proofreads
i underproof my tags and overproof my posts
your brain was saving a treat for everyone
WAIT I ONLY JUST UNDERSTOOD ... I THOUGHT MANI JUST THOUGHT WALTER BEING A NAGGER WAS FUNNY
my brain is so fried
mine too, apparently
"thanks for your questions even if you picked dumb stuff to ask about" is the legendary lack of tact that she's known for in this game, by the way
I think you should coin that phrase
there I posted my old reply
in her first post or two she was absolutely castigated for saying "i pissed people off so i'm sorry or whatever' publicly on the network
(to be fair her brother Eiffel was literally zero percent better in the tact department and he doesn't have an emotional dysregulation excuse he's just an idiot. they're two of a kind tho)
ancillaries also i am 100% fine with you being very slow, no worries
I have an idea for a new reply, like to new post I mean, but... struggle...
tragically the new post is filtered only to people who didn't reply to the first one, but now i'm really curious about what his reply would have been
OH. SCREAMING. SUBJECT LINE MY BRAIN WAS EATEN
he got better as time went on, though!!! she kind of has too but eiffel improved much more imo
two (2) years since he was last beat up by a teenager for making fun of her dead mom
Sheehan is always happy to give her space to be grumpy! That's why he gets paid the no-bucks
she gets grumpy a lot :')
Malcolm does not believe Eiffel improved at all but he thinks Shaw has improved a lot.
malcolm buddy you are very biased
malcolm you weren't here before the ships got separated eiffel has MASSIVELY improved since then
by having a new baseline of Decent Human Person and not Depressed Redneck
He only knows what he saw.
Will did come away from that first post feeling like he didn't explain his reasoning terribly well. shaw's probably not mad at him but he hates to add to her annoyance.
Malcolm was like.... I just told her that I think she's more well suited than Hilbert and he did fine. Wtf happend.
Not Mad Just Grumpy
Heeeey, Wu Xin wasn't giving mindless platitudes!
And too bad it's filtered, but he wanted to know what was Vaseline. Lol. But he'd have respectfully asked in private.
Aww
CLAPPING FOR NANA
sheehan would be so proud if he knew
Norton gonna Norton.
the moment Shaw said Vaseline Abel just wondered when Norton would pop up. doorknobs have flared bases...
Just to clarify, Norton has never fucked a doorknob. But Vaseline is the lube of choice in the 1950s. (Chances of Norton once accidentally Vaseline-ing a doorknob because he had some on his hands is high.)
I mean xD they were two separate thoughts, but I appreciate the clarification.
(Random early 20th century trivia: women out and about carrying condoms or men out and about carrying Vaseline was considered evidence of prostitution/indecency. So the men and women prostitutes would team up and the men would carry the condoms and the women the Vaseline and when they'd get a client they'd swap gear.)
I just had a good long out loud laugh at that.
Oh my god thats genius.
solidarity
.... That is a real fact?
god i hope so
i don't care if it's not i'm accepting it
humans are silly enough for it to make sense
It's a real fact in that scholars doing research were told this by Elder Queers they interviewed. So probably at least some degree of fact, but uncertainty on if this was common or, like, something that happened a little and became subculture legend.
It is a factual representation of a part the oral tradition of early-to-mid 20th century London gays.
Nana and Shaw bonding due to the shared activity of fuckin dunking on their fellow Bargemates
she's dunking on her own wife by proxy here
waningsunflower for some reason i can't find that thread in my notifs, and i only have the vaguest memories of it; can you link me so i can do a refresher? shaw would remember better than i do
I would, but...which thread?
the one he mentioned, where she wouldn't give him ibuprofen
Oh no! that wasn't a slight on her! He's just being bitchy because he wants it and is too annoyed at the infirmary crew (for stupid pride reasons) to ask them. he literally has never asked anyone.
OH
it was the "and [not] look at me like i'm going to steal shit again" that confused me; i assumed he was referring back to a specific incident between them and i was like "that definitely sounds like something that could have happened because of how seriously she takes supply security, but also why don't i remember this"
thank you, i'm glad i'm not going insane
(she is going to assume he's referring to a specific incident with someone else, though)
Oh that's fine! It's when he had Hilbert steal for him. that's The Incident
gotcha, i'm seeing where i misinterpreted
"you treated me like i was going to steal shit once, and i don't want you to do it again", not "i stole shit once and i don't want to be treated as if i'm going to be trying to do that again"
i read it as the first, rereading i'm seeing how it could also easily mean the second
