[personal profile] eliyes: I think he'd enjoy that far too much, honestly
[personal profile] eliyes: I said it out loud, but Nathan would absolutely be a talismonger (and sometimes fortune-teller) who fell into fixing after he put together some peeps to go fetch him talesma and discovered he's really good at it
[personal profile] taichara: yuuuuup

kiffie: Clint: *Rennergiggle*

[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: Toro: but then the alcohol doesn't make it to my mouth
[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: to be fair, he can sober up quickly by bursting into flames!
[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: on the other hand, situations where it seems like a good idea to a drunk guy to burst into flames, are, uh....

Okay, a term in this needs some explanation so that certain parties are not traumatised, to whit: "bedbugging" is when the cat hides under a blanket. When s/he does this, s/he is a "bedbug". (Not an actual bedbug -- none of those are involved!) This term probably evolved from "snug as a bug in a rug". (Hiding under a rug is "rugbugging", clearly.)

Also, Soci aka boycat doesn't meow, he goes "woo". Or "wow". (Or "wau"? Barking in German?) Or "woowoowoo". We don't know why.

[livejournal.com profile] taichara: *distracts self by listening to Soci trying to groom himself while still bedbugging*
[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: XD
[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: is it slurpy?
[livejournal.com profile] eliyes: is he making irritated woos as the blanket gets in the way?
[livejournal.com profile] taichara: yes? X3

I'm sure Orpheus and Shunrei will be telling Misty about Sirius' tea and special diet requirements. he has nothing to fear but health itself. and consideration. and thawing towards one of the Big Threats, although he always sorta liked Misty in a "if I didn't hate this whole faction idea, we might be pals" kind of way

[livejournal.com profile] krillia: *blinks* my internet gave out, and I either missed a crucial piece of conversation or said internet dying was a sign of a universal paradigm shift.

[livejournal.com profile] poisonivory made a post that included a review of Children of the City: At Work & At Play by David Nasaw, which she has given me permission to quote a big chunk of here.

Also, adorable surprise chapter on the newsies strike! Items of note:

- Apparently Seitz was real, his first name was Don, and his grudging admiration for the newsies is totally true.

- “The Sun, glorying in this successful strike against its two major competitors, reported in full the visit of Spot Conlon, District Master Workboy of the Brooklyn Union, who, attired in pink suspenders, walked across the Brooklyn Bridge with ‘greetings a’ promises of support…“We have tied up de scab sheets so tight dat y’ can’t buy one fer a dollar in de street. Hold out, my gallant kids, an’ to-morrer I meself, at de head of t’ree tousand noble hearts from Brooklyn will be over here t’ help youse win yer noble scrap for freedom an’ fair play.”’”

- Also mentioned: Boots McAleenan, Crutchy Morris, Racetrack Higgins, Kid Blink, and “Young Myers, sometimes called Young Mush, on account of his fondness for taking his girl to Corlears Hook Park Sunday evenings.” AWWWWWWW.


My point being: Holu shit, they were real! I knew the Newsie strike happened, but not that so many of the characters in the musical I watched as a kid were based on and named for the real people involved.

friend: "Being a drag queen means dressing like an unholy cross between the Chiquita Banana lady and Lady Gaga --"
me: "...Now I wanna see Lady Gaga dressed like the Chiquita Banana lady..."

And in case you get mad at my friend for that comment about drag queens, here's a follow up:

friend: "There's only one drag queen I've met who wasn't a massive bitch, and you know him, and look what happened when he stopped."
me: "They were so mean he moved back to the USA."

They being the drag queens around here. Here, in a Canadian city, where gay marriage is legal.
