#or gambling at cards

[bochedogmeat]

So. Ive been kind of turning this au around in my head like a rotisserie chicken bc i obviously want to keep as many details as possible consistent with canon, but also that is kind of impossible given the massive leaps in technology between mouthwashing’s distant future and. Well. 1917. So what happens is that i figure their platoon is being court-martial’d for something (maybe cowardice/refusal to follow orders? For getting stuck up in the mountain bunker?) and Jimmy suggests blowing up the bunker theyre in so that they would have solid evidence that it wasnt their fault. Curly, still reeling, agrees, not thinking it would go anywhere, but Jimmy nabs the explosives from swansea and goes through with it anyways.

…more ramblings below v

Jimmy, in this au, was aware that Anya is trans before they were even stationed together, and becomes aware that Curly may be an invert (which, historically, means that he is not only queer, but adopts the ‘woman’s role’. This phenomena of inverts being treated more harshly than their more ‘manly’ counterparts is supported by history! Fun fact) while on the Ypres frontline. He is resentful towards Curly because how can a supposed invert, someone whom he has been taught is less than half of the man Jimmy himself is, be such a well-loved leader and well-rounded man? Why is Jimmy so drawn to him? Why does he still respect and even love this ‘man’? What does that say about his own masculinity?

The cognitive dissonance is too much for his weak, spiteful, hateful little pea brain and he feels like he is losing what little control he had over his own masculinity and understanding of the social world to begin with. This leads him to assault anya and, added with the stress of a court-martial, blow the bunker up.

I figure they give Curly what little chloroform they have in the medical kit to keep him asleep until they run out/it starts making him too sick and are forced to start giving him soothing syrup and gin in large doses. Anya and Curly had something of a mutual understanding/budding friendship before the incident, both having had a sense about the other, which makes Curly’s subsequent inaction suck all the more. He understands Anya better than anyone else there, so why didnt he do anything? Anya doesn’t understand, and she never gets to ask. She still takes extreme care in tending his wounds though, and will often go to his bedside and tell him stories/play cards with him (and by that i mean play cards by herself and narrate her strat)

I also figure the whole thing happens over a matter of days as opposed to months because. You know. 1917. But anyways. If anyone wants to talk about this w me/add on to it, any musings are more than welcome!! I love queer and ww1 history :) see tags for more tidbits❤️

Hey! I’m genetically at high risk for things like addiction and gambling, and I recently got a credit card. I’m absolutely terrified of it! I got it since I crossed international borders recently to meet with a friend on my own, and it seemed like a good failsafe. Now that I’m back home, I wish I could just get rid of it to ensure I don’t go into debt. Any advice?

Lock it up in between uses.

My preference is to wrap it up in opaque tape, put it in a ziplock bag full of water, then put the whole thing in the freezer. Obviously, make sure you don't have the numbers saved in your browser or written down anywhere else. This will FORCE you to slow down before making a purchase. You can't microwave it to defrost it (JFC DO NOT MICROWAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD). So while you're sitting there watching it slowly unfreeze, you can second-guess whatever impulse purchase you want to make.

Also, just because you're at high risk for gambling and addiction doesn't mean you automatically WILL succumb to those things. I know plenty of people genetically predisposed to things like alcoholism who don't struggle with that addiction. Have you considered talking to a therapist about your concerns here?

headcanon: kaiba carries dice because joey can't be trusted to remember to bring everything needed to play his own deck sometimes. he probably also carries coins, despite never carrying cash otherwise

bonus points if kaiba starts doing this even before they get together
