"LONG BRANCH OPENING ATTRACTS GOOD CROWD," Toronto Globe. October 5, 1933. Page 9. ---- One of the best crowds to attend the opening day of the fall meet at Long Branch Track was present yesterday afternoon for the day's program of racing, the dull, threatening weather apparently having little effect on the attendance at the popular West End establishment. Illustration, above shows one section of the gathering, snapped early in the afternoon.

#soft poolverine my beloved#I contain multitudes as far as trope enjoying goes (Logan likes Wade's yapping AND Logan likes to shut Wade up the old fashioned way)#(aka sticking his tongue down his throat)#(among other things but we're sticking with that for this one lol)#Wade is yapping about something#anything really because he can monologue about anything under the sun#and Logan just reaches over wordlessly and grabs his face and Wade just KEEPS TALKING#and every time Logan comes up for air Wade just starts up again#and Logan just smirks and takes a deep breath and goes back in#he gets some silence for a moment AND gets to feel that endless energy fizzing on his tongue#as Wade focuses his nervous mental energy on exploring Logan's mouth for a bit#you know they are SLOPPY kissers#just drool and teeth and tongues EVERYWHERE#I bet kissing Wade is interesting too because his tongue and lips are all ridged and scarred#anyway I just think Logan would shut him up once in a while for like hours long makeout sessions#and then peacefully go back to listening to him yammer endlessly about the minutiae of the My Little Pony Extended Universe#poolverine#deadpool and wolverine#wolverine#deadpool#kinda wip?#are any of these ever really FINISHED or do I just give up on them and move on 🫠#also dont get me wrong they def fuck nasty too#but I think Logan “Touch Starved As Fuck” Howlett would really revel in just being able to touch him lazily for hours#idk man I'm too far gone I need to be anaesthetized#deadpool & wolverine#deadclaws#wade wilson#poolverine fanart#deadpool x wolverine

The fandom when Anya is nice to jimmy and compliments/butters him up after the crash: obviously this is a fawn response. She doesn’t actually think these things about jimmy, she is simply trying to protect herself against a volatile, unstable person by placating him
The fandom when curly tries to placate jimmy by telling Jimmy he’d fix things, after being very nervous about jimmy’s anger and reaction when talking to Anya right beforehand and his heart racing so hard on the way to confront jimmy that he’s likely on the verge of a panic or anxiety attack: hmm. Obviously everything curly is saying to jimmy here is completely genuine and not motivated by anything. He obviously doesn’t care about the fact jimmy raped Anya and only cares about helping jimmy at the detriment to Anya. He’s a rape apologist. There could literally be no other potential explanation for why curly is saying the things he is saying right now. Let’s take everything curly is saying here completely at face value and not analyze anything else about Curly’s behavior or the rest of the scene.
[seriously why are people only capable of recognizing the fawn response in Anya and not Curly]
#to be clear the people who say Anya had a fawn response are RIGHT!#but since curly is a man clearly there’s no way he could be afraid of jimmy#listen. I’m not trying to say curly is completely flawless#and I get why people get mad at curly for what he said to Jimmy there after finding out what jimmy did#because yeah out of context someone telling a rapist stuff like “I’ll fix things” “we’ll get through this together” “you’ve gotten through#difficult times before” in response to said rapist fearing his life will be ruined after his actions are exposed#is deplorable#but you can’t just put things in a vacuum#it was a very difficult situation curly was in. regarding of how he confronts jimmy he’s going to be stuck on a ship with him for 8 months#and before u say “he should’ve just killed Jimmy!” think for a moment.#permanently ending someone’s life is traumatic for the vast majority of people#and this is someone he’s known for years and years so it would be extra difficult#also like. would Anya even want jimmy to be murdered? sure she’d feel safer but I feel like she’d have complicated feelings about it#idk like. it’s a very tricky situation#can’t even report Jimmy to HR because that would result in everyone’s pay getting docked.#which would just hurt Anya since she has no savings#curly mouthwashing#fandom critical#would it felt been more therapeutic for fans if curly instead violently confronted jimmy and beat him up for what he did to Anya? yes#but would that have actually helped Anya? no#if anything it would’ve likely made things worse because Jimmy could’ve just taken his anger out on her afterwards#because they’re on a tiny ship together. only way they could have eliminated the threat to her would be like. tying jimmy up for months#or shoving him in a cryptopod. but knowing pony express I bet improper use of cryptopods would result in docking everyone’s pay#and it would’ve been serviously hard to keep jimmy tied up for months. it’s not like there’s a prison cell on the ship#the crew is already stretched thin do u think they could have someone constantly watch him for 8 months??#because that’s likely what would need to happen if they just kept him tied up#there aren’t any good rooms to lock him in#yes it would’ve been better for everyone in the end if Jimmy was tied up or shoved in a cryptopod or killed#but how was curly supposed to know that. hindsight is 20/20#yes curly should’ve taken the threat jimmy posed more seriously. and handled the situation better. but there were no easy solutions and—

"20 MEN ARRESTED ON BETTING CHARGES IN TWO POLICE RAIDS," Toronto Globe. October 31, 1933. Page 13 & 14. ---- Seeking to Escape by Back Door From Spadina Avenue House, Coatless Men Encounter Police Stationed There-Eleven Held in Carlton Street Rooms --- CELLULOID USED FOR BETS, CLAIM --- Twenty arrests were made yesterday when police made raids on two different premises, one an alleged gaming house at 394 Spadina Avenue, and the other at 115 Carlton Street, where, it is alleged, a common betting place was being conducted. Of the twenty prisoners, three were held as being keepers and the remaining seventeen as frequenters.
Harry Feder, 392 Spadina Avenue, and Max Shapiro, 394 Spadina Avenue, were arrested, charged with keeping a gaming house in the rear of a cleaning and pressing parlor at No. 394. The men, police said, were playing stuss for money on a table in a back room when police rushed in, seizing $99 in money from the table and decks of playing cards used in playing the Russian card game. Officers Dash In. Police claim a rake-off was being taken on the game. Plainclothesmen Coulson and Lee stationed themselves. at a door leading from the back of the building to Nassau Street, while Plainclothesmen Houston and Train dashed around Nassau Street, through the cleaning and pressing parlor to the room the game was in. When Houston and Train were sighted, the back door was unbolted and there was a mad dash of coatless men to get out. Cards were dropped on the floor. As the men emerged from the back door they were herded back by the outstretched arms of Plainclothes- men Coulson and Lea, who expected an attempted escape from the back door, and for that reason stationed themselves there in readiness.
Money Is Seized. Feder, police said, was banking the game, and most of the bills on the table were piled where he was standing. Police managed to get this money from the table as well as the cards, which were spread over the table.
Shapiro and Feder were allowed bail of $500 each. Ben Frisch, 730 College Street: Morris Kittich, 310 Clinton Street; James Pearlman, 211 McCaul Strect: Harry Wolfe, 337 Palmerston Avenue: Peter Boldish, 303% Spadina Avenue; Fred Horchoryk, 89 Gorevale Avenue, and Arthur Cooper. 64 Gloucester Street, charged with being found in, were released on ball of $100 cash.
Rooms Over Store. When a door leading to two front rooms above a store at 115 Carlton Street opened yesterday afternoon to allow a man to leave the place, Plainclothesmen Crawford and McKay were standing in the hallway, and, shoving the door back open, rushed in. Francis Sheehan, tenant of the rooms, was arrested, charged with keeping a betting place, and ten others found sitting about the place reading racing papers were also arrested, charged with being found in a betting place.
Sitting Near Window. On a long piece of celluloid on the top of a table near the front window where Sheehan was sitting, the police claim to have found 130 bets recorded on horse races run at the different United States tracks yesterday. The bets ranged from 50 cents to $2 each. Plainclothesman Crawford reached his arm over Sheehan's shoulder and snatched the piece of celluloid before his presence in the room was known to Sheehan. To police, he is alleged to have said: "You certainly got me good, I was sitting by the open window in readiness to drop the bets out If police walked in." Those held for being found in were:
Jack Gooding, 110 McGill Street; Alex Kyles, 427 Jarvis Street; Robert Robertson, 554 1-2 Yonge Street; James Maetel, 29 Wellesley Street, Jeri Lind, 117 Makland Street; Charles Jenkins, 209 Carlton Street; John Bruce, 12 St. Joseph Street: Fred Mitchell, 140, Carlton Street: William Graham, 12 St. Joseph Street; and Frank Roe, Gloucester Street. Sheehan was allowed bail of $500, and the others were allowed their freedom over night on security of $100 each.

I think ppl have to stop complaining to my face about how I draw YG cute when I yassify Roy to this extreme.
like. Who even is this man?? Not my alcoholic puppet father who will eat people on a whim. Not a borderline sex pest who ignores his kid and lives rent free in the walls. Not someone who has several restraining orders and eats out of the trash.

baby comes home from school looking distraught and apocalyptically anxious, and jesse is assuming the absolute worst as he’s like “is everything ok??” and he only becomes more convinced that literally everything is falling apart and something horrible has happened when baby starts crying in response, only for him to piece together over the course of a very long, gasping, runny nose explanation that a kid at school told baby that it’s illegal to draw original my little pony characters and baby didnt know how to break the news to him that hasbro executives are going to come to their house and put them all in prison forever
