Kirigami lampposts
How to show your age, when I was a child I lived in a terraced 2 up and 2 down house in a street much like the one I live in now. Main differences the number of cars on the street now, and the fact the street lights were gas then.
On the day it was announced that Yuri Gagarin had gone into space several of us lads were swinging on the arms of the lampposts and shouting "I'm floating in space!"
There was a pilot light that burned all the time and a lever with a chain on it that actuated the supply to the main burner under the incandescent gas mantle. (Gas mantles in those days had thorium in them and were radio-active, they don't anymore.)
One of the jobs that no longer exists was that a man walked round the streets at twilight with a stick with a hook on it to pull the lever to turn the burner on. Presumably shortly after dawn he came round and turned it back off, but I only ever saw them turned on. He might also have done a bit of knocking up at this time.
Funny when we talk about gas lighting and getting knocked up these days it is something completely different.

"Someone should really clean those floor buttons..."
[ OOC ]
hey freaks, welcome to the lampert regretevator blog. i'm finally getting around to making a funky scuffed little intro post to pin, so feel free to join me below the cut to read a whole bunch of nonsense
WHERE AM I? WHAT IS THIS?
okay first of all, calm down
This is an ask/RP blog based off of Lampert from the Roblox game Regretevator. Though, keep in mind it won't be 100% canon, and will both be sprinkled with my own headcanons and also occasionally out of character for Lampert because, shockingly, I am not Lampert Real Life™ and do not know how he would react to everything. I try my best though.
Lampert uses primarily he/him pronouns, but sometimes I sprinkle in some he/they in there. as a treat
I'll try my best to respond to asks with drawings, although I am very fragile old man and am decaying with each passing second so sometimes it is difficult for me to get myself to draw
(i am sixteen years old) (i also have a very shit memory and will forget that i have asks to answer whoopsies) (i may be 16 but i feel like my bones are going to fold in on themselves like a lawn chair and wither away at any given moment constantly)
i'll try to remember to tag asks as #lampertasks and non-asks as #lampposts (haha get it) or #ooc if i'm talking to YOU. (im get you.)
WHO ARE YOU?
heya, i'm ray, the owner of this blog, i do not have a main blog and you have no proof, nor will you find it. if i. um. if i had one, i mean. which i dont. don't go look for it. because you. wont. find anything. um. yeah
i am genderfluid and use all pronouns, i am the master of pronouns, the pronoun wizard one could say, simply refer to me. full stop
please do not sex me i am a minor (i yearn i yearn i yearn for the tunnels the coal the coal the mines i yearn i yearn for black lung i yearn please put me in the mines please give me a pickaxe i am mentally stable and can be trusted with big sharp objects)
do not sex lampert either. you cannot fuck the lamp i forbid it
if you try i will lock you in the Dungeon for seven thousand years
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
as i already mentioned, do not try and fuck lampert or you will face the consequences, lampert may be an adult but i am not
sex jokes are fine though. to a point. just dont be creepy. be funny or Die (/hj)
i have no opinions on shipping content, i will probably not take it seriously and will shitpost with most of it. i mean of course i have regretevator ships i enjoy, like come on im a tumblr user what do you expect from me, but i doubt i'll insert them into this blog unless it's for The Funny (or if it's my partner's Unpleasant blog. but that also classifies as being for The Funny)
i'm totally cool with roleplay asks from other RP blogs, canon or OCs, and will respond in-character. i mean like, this blog is connected with three other regretevator RP blogs so i don't see why not
aforementioned three other regretevator blogs:
@displeazinggradient
@sk8tr1101
@detectivebive
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WITH ME? ARE YOU GOING TO HURT ME?
yeah lmao
