#joking about my nose

[bethanydelleman]

Someone once told me that they were going to ignore this evidence because it's more romantic for Darcy to have to pay 10k, to which I (mentally) face-palmed so hard that I broke my nose.

About your "Darcy didn't pay Wickham 10k" post: how do we know it was actually ~3k? The job i assume we have historical records on how much that cost but where did you get 1k for each Lydia and his debt from? Not that I don't believe you, I'm just curious. :)

That was just a mini-rant. Here is the full breakdown:

He has the promise of an ensigncy in General——’s regiment, now quartered in the north. (Ch 40)

You know pretty well, I suppose, what has been done for the young people. His debts are to be paid, amounting, I believe, to considerably more than a thousand pounds, another thousand in addition to her own settled upon her, and his commission purchased. (Ch 42)

So firstly, Darcy gave Lydia a protected fortune of £1000. Secondly, Darcy saw that all of Wickham’s debts were paid, amounting to more than £1000. However, I think if it was nearer £2000 Mrs. Gardiner would round up, so probably between £1000-1500. And thirdly, Darcy purchased Wickham a commission in the army. The official rate for an ensigncy was £400 (according to my David Shapard's annotated edition), though they could be sold for more. Darcy did need to purchase one quickly, so he might have spent more.

All of this adds up to approximately £3000.

This marriage arrangement is actually a really fascinating thing because it shows us just how careful and principled Darcy was in laying everything out. Because we also know that Mr. Bennet must pay Lydia £100/annum as long as he is alive. Darcy knew that Mr. Bennet was a poor provider as a father, this forces him to provide. I don’t think it’s done in a spiteful way, but it is right, Mr. Bennet should provide.

All of Wickham’s debts are paid, which is more for the benefit of the community than Wickham himself. Darcy wants everyone taken in by Wickham to get their money. Then he settles £1000 on Lydia. That money is protected, it will stay with her if she is widowed. Darcy is ensuring that Lydia will have something no matter what. That is incredibly kind.

Lastly, a purchased commision is an asset. It gives Wickham a job and an income, but it also can be resold for a profit. The militia (even if Wickham could go back) does not work that way, neither does the navy, Darcy provided both a job and an investment.

My Batfamily piercing headcanons

(note: these are just my personal headcanons)

Dick: Has thought about getting a piercing but always ends up deciding against it because he doesn't like needles

Jason: Got his nose pierced when he was 14 and never told Bruce(don't ask how he hid it idk readers choice). Was pissed to find the hole had closed after his dip in the Lazarus pit, so he got it re-pierced but doesn't wear it often, usually just at night. And no of course it doesn't have anything to do with the fact he still hasn't told Bruce. Nope not at all

Tim: Got his left ear pierced when he was 15 because Steph told him a bunch of other skaterboarders were doing it and he ended up liking it. (she lied she just thought it would make Tim look hot. She was right) He doesn't wear it on patrol or for important meetings, but he still makes sure to wear it often enough to not let it close

Stephanie: Has both her ears pierced as well as a double helix piercing and a smiley piercing. She wants to get more but keeps changing her mind as to where.

Cass: Only has her ears pierced and that's only because Steph and Babs did it for her. Doesn't trust needles (see Batgirls #2)

Barbara: Has both ears pierced and got her belly button pierced when she was a teenager. Her belly button piercing ended up closing after she kept it out too long when recovering from getting shot and hasn't gotten around to getting it redone.

Duke: Has no piercings or a particular desire to change that fact, but he isn't really against the idea either. (Stephanie is determined to get that boy an eyebrow piercing because he would "totally own that look")

Damian: Went kinda crazy with it after Alfred died and he went off on his own. First Nika convinced him to get his eyebrow pierced and it just escalated from there. At present he has a grand total of 7 piercings with plans to get more. His piercings currently include his ear lobes, snake bites, his eyebrow, his nostril, and his septum. When Dick first saw him with all his piercings in he nearly passed out

Bruce: Had some wild teen years and got his ears, tongue, and septum pierced. Stopped wearing them when he traveled to train and they ended up closing. The only evidence they ever existed is a few stray paparazzi photos/videos and Alfred's word(he is sworn to secrecy)

Alfred: Everyone thinks the answer is a big fat "NO" as to if he's ever had a piercing but in reality he has had exactly One. When he was very young, before he met the Wayne's, he lost a bet and let an army buddy pierce his nose. A great deal of alcohol was also involved. He took it out after a few weeks when it got infected because the needle hadn't been sterilized and they were still out traveling around North Africa with little supplies. They never spoke of it again.

I feel like a lot of people in the fandom tend to forget this, so I'm just here to give a kind, thoughtful reminder :]

Ambrosius Goldenloin in the movie is an East Asian man (Korean-coded), his skin is tan, his eyes are monolid and his nose is big

He's voiced by Eugene Lee Yang - a Korean-American actor who also has Chinese and Japanese heritage. Eugene Lee Yang looks like this:

During the production, when Ambrosius was decided to be East Asian, artists looked up queer East Asian-American men, and based Ambrosius off of them. Ambrosius is literally drawn to look like Eugene Lee Yang

Please draw him as such, thank you

I think my fav thing about House is that the protag's name is a joke on the pronunciation of "Holmes" being a homophone for "Homes" but instead of letting it stay a little tongue-in-cheek reference, they made it the title of the whole show

Whilst I hand you guys a couple of Wrench doodles, rate this embarrassing instance out of 10 that just happened to me:

For the second time in my entire ICT course, I used irrelevant vocabulary to answer a test question (thankfully just a progress checker test, not the actual thing!!). First time that it happened I ended up using ionic bonds to explain how a laser printer worked. The second time I used the word formulae (which apparently is mathematic vocabulary and not just used to describe some recipe like in SpongeBob) to explain the advantages HTML developers can gain from website templates☠️

anyway embarrassing misuse of vocabulary aside wrench doodles as promised:

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.
