Very fashionable as well!

The last shoes you'll ever need...

Thank God my WoD players haven't figured out how to do that to corporeal/material enemies yet.

Though now I'm tempted to create Mafia-based/organised crime/goodfellas/made men Werewolves with a construction company as a front.

every so often i just think about how good it was that the most foolproof one-size-fits-all solution for dealing with basically any horrifyingly evil supernatural monster of the week in the magnus archives was just. burying them in concrete. like yeah i can believe that a few tons of grey brutalist slop would stop the wolfman or pretty much anything in its tracks to be honest. they use that shit on nuclear waste. do you honestly think you're stronger than a nuke? a fucking nuke?

You know what, why not?

Here’s my fanfic, hope you enjoy

Neither the Mafia nor other criminal organizations regularly use or have used cement shoes to drown their victims.[121] There are only two documented cases of this method being used in murders: one in 1964 and one in 2016 (although, in the former, the victim had concrete blocks tied to his legs rather than being enclosed in cement).[122] The French Army did use cement shoes on Algerians killed in death flights during the Algerian War.[123]

Something I find interesting about the Lizard League is that these guys are supervillain supervillains, costumed in the classic mold- Salamander with the impossibly-skintight patterned-cloth costume, Iguana with the tight-tights-and-animal-headpiece combo, Komodo with that 70s-style strongman cowl-and-jersey, King Lizard with the Baron Strucker-style double-breasted greatcoat. These guys are unrepentant in their design. And in the comics, where the Sequid arc didn't happen till around issue 40, these guys were part of this established stable of villains who'd show up as fodder for montages and one-off fights where they needed to have a hero beating up someone who's clearly a supervillain, never mind who. That meant that their eventual escalation to nuclear terrorism after 30+ issues of low-rent stuff, and the ensuing clusterfuck, actually parsed as a meaningful escalation from the established status quo. These guys are breaking the rules. Supervillains do stuff like this sometimes, sure, but not this kind of supervillain- these guys are doing MCU-style unmarked-Kevlar terroristic supervillainy when they should be doing lizard-themed gimmick crimes or Super-friends stuff!

Well, no, that's not quite true. It feels true, but honestly there are plenty of examples of campy big-two villains doing flat-out nuclear terrorism pretty early on, actually. Just to pick some examples from X-Men, Magento did it in his first appearance, and the ANAD lineup's first real outing was to stop Count Nefaria from hijacking NORAD. Screwing around with the military's world-ending shit is downright commonplace for supervillains, once you start tallying it up. But between the goofy kid-gloves approach of a lot of early silver-age comics and the sheer volume of Stuff that's happened in the Marvel and DC continuities, the impact of attempted nuclear terrorism inevitably gets sanded down, it just becomes one more data point in the endless ebb and flow- hell, it can result in actual nuclear detonations, and eventually it's going to get sanded over. In the nineties, Vandal Savage actually nuked Montevideo using depreciated USSR stock. Is that salient, these days? This event that would have reshaped geopolitics had it happened in our world? So yeah, supervillains make a run on the nukes all the time- but it doesn't count if you do it in a onesie with your initials stenciled on it.

But Invincible, as a self-contained continuity, actually has the ability to maintain perspective and appropriately weigh a grab at the nuclear arsenal - it's very much not business as usual, it's not part of the typical cops-and-robbers runaround. It's not stealing a priceless diamond, it's not a bank job, it's not even rampaging through the city center with a giant robot. It's a credible attempt to end the world, it's a challenge to government power that they won't let stand, costumes or no. It's the government sponsored super team coming in guns blazing trying their damnedest to kill you from the word go, and its you trying to kill them equally hard because there's really no coming back from this if you lose. And it ends up that treating this situation with a commonsense level of gravity acts as a deconstructive backhand against every similar situation in the comics that ends with the villain shaking their fist and escaping at the last minute.

good news everyone! postcrete is a special mix used for setting ...posts, but the good news is it cures in 5 to 10 minutes depending on the relative humidity and temperature, no mixing needed!

just knock out your songbird and pop their feet in any container, fill with the dry mix making sure to get it under and around then simply add the water!

quick and easy cement shoes to ground those flight risks! perfect for a stroll down the docks!

i know it's like a mafia movie cliche but think about how impractical "cement shoes" are. like that cement takes a long time to set. imagine you're a snitch and you're gonna sleep with the fishes but they have to get you in these things first. you're tied up in a chair. you've got an enforcer putting your feet in the wet cement. he's making sure the molds around your feet are tight and secure. he's keeping watch on you so that you don't run. that cement takes a long time to set. maybe you two get to talking. nothing to lose if you're gonna die soon. maybe he's got pretty eyes. that cement takes a long time to set. what was i talking about

[pixiesnooze]

Man Silco you’re lucky that the symbolism was on your side otherwise just being dropped into a river without any weights would have been a painfully inadequate method of burial at sea.

Nobody ever mentions how fucking GARANTUAN ARAN RYAN'S FEET ARE FOR SOME REASON?💀😭

Anyways so I made this extremely detailed scientific diagram on what I think the inside of this mfs shoe looks like.😍

My theory with 0% evidence to back it up is that this loony bitch also keeps horseshoes in his actual shoes in case he decides to pull a Dragon Chan and start kicking mfs in the ring.💀😭

I think that every man who showed up in a black suit at the MET should be hunted for sport and fed to the NYC rats

I finally watched Andrew's Actors on Actors with Ryan Reynolds and I find myself coming away from it with an even greater desire to interact with and take on life, inspired by all of the experiences they shared - the easy and difficult ones alike - and I also feel like I want and need to do something that matters, and I'm not sure what that would be but I hope to find it before it's too late

So in short I'd say it was good, and I liked the mix of humor and genuine emotion

Is Frankie’s grandma as awful as you guys act like she is

Uhhh it depends on who you are I guess. She’s scary, but she don’t usually mean it real serious, or at least she don’t mean it real serious if you’re family. She start makin’ threats at you and maybe you look like somebody that didn’t pay their protection money, or a worse, a cop, you got a lot more to worry about. Grandma Lupelli was a real PROFESSIONAL in her day. She’s retired now though, just makes empty threats from time to time to keep me an’ Frankie on our toes y’know?

Okay I've glued the sketchbook's binding back on. The spine is nearly ripped through on one side, that's probably a job for gaff tape
