The World Still Spins

My friend @city-lights-like-rain sent me a prompt several months ago, and it spawned a fully-fledged fic, which I turned around and asked her to beta. Because I am a simultaneously wonderful and terrible friend. 

Shout-out to @abominableobriens for being a great beta as well!!

Relationship: Adam “Holster” Birkholtz / Justin “Ransom” Oluransi

Characters: Justin “Ransom” Oluransi ,  Adam “Holster” Birkholtz, Larissa “Lardo” Duan, Shitty Knight

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of hypothetical infidelity (none actually occurs) 

Length: 5,072 words

Justin had first learned about the theory of paradigm shifts back in junior year during his class on the history and philosophy of science. It was just another definition for one of the short answers in the midterm exam: a fundamental change in the basic concepts of and experimental practices within a given scientific discipline. It was a benign factoid to be stored away, something to be revisited in a later essay: compare and contrast the views of Thomas Kuhn and Karl Popper on the scientific process.

He hadn’t understood the just how jarring such a fundamental shift could be until he broke up with Adam.

I love fat cats that get picked up and look kind of alarmed about it as if their magnificent girth could have prevented this sort of injustice

everytime u see a old photo of a snazzy 1920s dude in a suit remember what lurks beneath

okay why are you guys reblogging this and tagging it as reference do you plan on drawing 20s gangsters in their underwear i better see these 

I couldn’t help myself

[prokopetz]

To be fair, underwear that fully covers the body from neck to knees makes a lot of sense when you’re wearing a dry-clean-only suit as your everyday outfit; it prevents sweat from soiling the garment’s inner layer, and thus lets you go longer between launderings. The development of modern underwear tracks pretty much directly with the shift to washable daywear, which removes much of the need for such extensive protection.

[chickadee-sun]

The part that makes least sense is how it’s sleeveless and thus doesn’t protect suits from armpit sweat. Surely the armpit is one of the most important places to put this kind of undergarment? T-shirts were originally designed as an undergarment that does protect clothing from armpit sweat, but they weren’t popularized yet in the 20s.

[prokopetz]

Most union suits did indeed have full or partial sleeves; the ones pictured in the original post are more fashionable than functional, probably intended to be worn with eveningwear.

[areferenceyouunderstand]

Wow this was informative

[bipolar-bubbeleh]

Eveningwear? So… this is 1920s men’s lingerie. GTK

[peoriarhetoriapeoria]

The white one I am pretty sure is for use with evening wear. A man with a boiled shirt isn’t going to have to wear that shirt again without laundering occurring first. The other two are probably more for under sporting wear; again, sporting wear was a clothing type for people with more clothes and also funds for having laundry done.

Mind you, since men’s clothing and the rules for wearing it would preclude the pattern of their under-romper from being displayed, they could have mixed it up.
