the real cosplay experience is starting a costume the month of con and expecting to work on it evenly, only to end up doing the entire thing the week before…

idk how to explain it but between captain america: the first avenger and thunderbolts Bucky goes from a “yes sir” to a “yes daddy”

arranged the stardew valley bachelors and bachelorettes as their probable omegaverse dynamics… (based on vibes) (ranged from most Alpha to most Omega, in order) (just opinion)

any thoughts?

bachelors:

Elliot- Alpha

Alex- Alpha

Sam- Beta

Shane- Beta

Sebastian- Omega

Harvey- Omega

bachelorettes:

Hailey- Alpha

Abigail- Alpha

Emily- Beta

Maru- Beta

Leah- Omega

Penny- Omega

[klipsie-yaps]

comparing the first version of the bachelor’s pictures vs the most recent literally just looks like they grew up

like high school them vs adult them

you know it’s time to go to bed when your characters start pulling up the cupboards to go to sleep…

does anyone else wonder or theorize about what Steve thought about the US bombings of Japan at the end of WW2?

Because he crashed into the ice in March of ‘95, the atomic bomb wasn’t dropped till August ‘95.

I wonder what went through his head learning about the war, and what happened after he went down.

i have had another thought:

shipping one ship does not disqualify you from shipping another.

for example:

shipping stucky doesn’t mean you can’t ship winterwidow or stony or any other variety of ships with either steve, bucky or both

or shipping dragonfruit doesn’t mean you can’t ship goldendragon or spicynoodles, or chimeratrio

or shipping erasermic doesn’t mean you can’t ship either/both with shirakumo or nemuri or allmight

on today's episode of unfun fact o'clock: hydra's electrocution chair!

came across all this while researching for winter soldier purposes... i swear i'm not a serial killer. only in fiction.

‼️ content/trigger warnings: various methods of excecution and their side effects, experimentation on both humans and animals ‼️

ohio has some notable history, in fact, that has nothing to do with cornfields. i came across this a while ago and found it really interesting (i believe i was looking up side effects to severe electrocution, for fanfic research), so i thought i might as well share it here. 

so, in ohio, being hanged was the typical death for prisoners on death row. this was used from 1803 to 1885, because in 1886, the new york state governor (david b. hill) started looking for more "humane" ways to execute people. and then a dentist (alfred p. southwick) comes into the picture-- that's where we get our dentist-chair design from. long story short, he attended a lecture and heard about how someone had been electrocuted and died instantly. he worked with george e. fell, conducting experiments which were unfortunately on hundreds of animals. he studied their results to figure out a variation of the method with enough power that would work on humans. 

in 1897, the first death row prisoner (a 17-year-old boy named william haas, accused of murder) was executed by means of electrocution. 

"Haas was the first to be electrocuted. He was strapped in the chair at 12:27. When he was brought into the electrocution room, he closely scrutinized the chair and was pushed into it. The current was turned on for a period of two seconds, three times in succession.” (The Alliance Standard Review, 1897, p. 15)

it worked mostly effectively, so in 1913 the "death house" was built for death row prisoners to take their turn in "old sparky," but however-- in june of 1904 mike schiller "was electrocuted in the annex at the Ohio penitentiary at midnight. There was a hitch in the execution and the condemned man revived three times after the electric current had been applied.” (The Daily Journal-Herald, 1904, p. 1). “The electrocution of Schiller was dramatic and awful from the start. The death agony which, in successful electrocutions lasts only a moment, extended over half an hour. ‘He still lives,’ said Dr. Thomas, and the warden ordered the twice-electrocuted man, supposedly dead, to be placed back in the death chair. With a final gasp Schiller sank back into the chair and the current was allowed to pass through his body for a full minute.”

despite the mishaps, it continued to be used until 1963, and in total, 315 people died to the death chair. but between 1897 and 1963 (it's still in use today, but very rarely, in favor of lethal injection. that's just when ohio stopped using it), the idea of the chair caught on and was implemented in multiple states-- alabama, arkansas, florida, kentucky, louisiana, mississippi, oklahoma, south carolina, and tennessee. in fact, if a death row prisoner of south carolina doesn't choose otherwise in a two-week period, then death by electrocution is still their default. yikes. if you must commit a crime, don't do it in south carolina. 

it's ironic to me that this was considered more humane than other methods, like beheading, firing squad, or hanging as previously mentioned-- i mean, hanging is probably slow and brutal, but is death by electrocution actually humane? not by any means. and guess who had to endure this over and over, to feel the full effects over and over, who knows how many times? yep, one james buchanan barnes. 

i am by no means a medical professional, but i researched and came up with this. take it with a grain of salt because i can't guarantee any of it to be completely accurate. anyways, from what i understand, in the electrocution chair (or death by electrocution in general, not necessarily a chair) the initial voltage was designed to stop the stop the heart and loose consciousness. after that, the voltage is lowered until, y'know, they're actually dead. but as mentioned above in the case of mike schiller, the chair wasn't foolproof. 

the initial round of voltage that is supposed to stop the heart is followed by a wait in which the executioner will check for signs of life. it seems that it's very rare for one to survive the first shock, but if they did, then they went for another round of voltage and that process was repeated however many times needed until death. between these pauses, the body can obviously heat up to very high temperatures-- hot enough to damage or even melt the inner organs, skin, and eyes. prisoners who did not instantly die felt the entire process, and it has been noted that some of them would scream, shake violently from the shocks as if having a seizure, and loose control over their bladder/bowels. to quote one article, "there have been reports of a prisoner's head bursting into flames." there has also been a recorded instance where a man's "legs were broken by the intense twitching of the legs due to the force of the deadly electric current passing through his body." 

well, that was an infodump, but to head back to the point i had all along-- hydra has an electrocution chair, as we all know. it has electrodes that attach to the head, as do the death chairs. bucky's enhanced, which is the only reason it hasn't killed him yet. but he's most certainly not immune to the pain, and it makes me wonder if it's done him any internal damage that his enhancement couldn't heal, or couldn't heal quite fast enough. did hydra ever overdo it at first, trying to find a balance that messed with his mind but that didn't hinder his ability to operate? did they run their experiments so long that his body got hot enough to freakin melt? did he ever break his bones from the voltage? have to sit through the same pain for days on end as they tried him to his limits? i'm sure we can take a wild guess-- these are insane nazi scientists we're talking about. i often wonder how many times they had to revive him because of all the brutal tests that they were most certainly doing in one way or another. 

anyways, there's your unfun winter soldier fact/fanfic research for the day...! 

the original death chair, nicknamed "old sparky."

awkwardest interaction with a coworker to-date. we were talking about a lady who’d come in and checked out an entire shelf (40+ books) of paperback cowboy romance/erotica, and brought them back, read within two weeks (i work at a library)

and my coworker went “well i guess we can’t judge people for what they read, even if it is cowboy romance,” and i nodded, of course, then they go “at least it’s not those weird werewolf shifter romance ones, those are worse”

and istg i sloooooowly put my werewolf romance i was about to check out to myself right back onto the shelf…

i love that you can make an 8 with only three 2s

i’m cursed with the inability to draw my faves because no matter how good it is it never does them justice…..

had a mental breakdown over annotating because it’s needlessly vague and a restaurant gave me boneless wings instead of the traditional i ordered today…

I will write the fic I want to read

[klipsie-yaps]

thought:

shipping characters doesn’t automatically disqualify you from seeing them as more sibling-like in some contexts. (to clarify: distinctly separate contexts)

eg: some fics, fanart, etc

for example: I ship shadowpeach (lmk) however, that is not my default when I see something that someone wrote or drew about them.

Because it depends on the author/artist’s interpretation.

I have read some amazing fics where they’re brothers, and some where they’re lovers, and both were incredibly, and they don’t contradict because they’re fictional and their relationship is decided on a case by case basis based on the author/artist’s headcannons!

there are so many ships like this! just let people do what they will and accept that AU’s don’t have to follow canon! or what you see as canon!

they’re headcanons for a reason!
