Anonymous asked: Your all in one spot au, will we be seeing Washington?

You’re goddamn motherfucking right we’ll be seeing Washington.  TBH I’ve basically been waiting to get an ask about Washington before I move on because I’ve been plotting the next scene FROM THE GET GO and really wanted to write it, so you get to jump the line ahead of everyone else. Without further ado: HERE COMES THE GENERAL.

Edit: I started writing this like…maybe over a month ago?  But then finals happened and other shit happened and I’ve been, A, too busy to write, and, B, desperately lacking in inspiration for this. So now we’re back with the AIOS thing.

It’s only the first day of proper classes and John’s already giving Alex that look of exasperated concern.  The how late were you up last night and have you considered a meal today look.  The General Washington doesn’t need that letter for a week and you look like a dead man walking look.  The coffee is not food and your hands are shaking look.

Alex is fine.  John is paranoid.  And they have class.

“A class we already know everything for!” John shouts as he sprints after Alex, two protein bars and a bottle of water in hand.  John is still unfairly tall, and he catches up with Alex in a heartbeat, snatching Alex’s two books away and shoving all three items into his hands instead.  “I didn’t even buy the books, and I know Laf didn’t either.  And you remember better than I do!”

Alex scowls, but eats the protein bars. They’re chocolate-flavored and it’s possible he got too absorbed in writing up his latest blog post to remember to eat dinner, so he generously decides to forgive John’s hovering.

Can I get a citation on this?

I would like a citation on this because this seems like the kind of sh*t tumblr makes up to go “omg white people are trash all their faves are trash smh”

His false teeth were made of ivory, you f–king idiots.

I’d also like to point out Washington inherited his slaves, gained others by marriage, came to OPPOSE slavery but legally could not free his slaves under penalty of law in Virginia and so treated them well, and ordered them freed and paid them a sum and had them taught skills to start a new life with in his will.

Learn your dang history.

As was popular in that era, dentures were made of ivory as well as other people’s teeth. Although teeth were harvested (gruesome word to use here) from dead people, it was not uncommon for poor people and slaves to seek monetary compensation for giving up their teeth (see: Les Miserables). George Washington had several sets of dentures. Indeed one set contained teeth from his slaves, but he paid them money for their teeth. In fact, Washington paid his slaves money for doing extra work outside their expected duties which would sometimes allow them to purchase their freedom. History is fun to cite to gain understanding of the world we live in, but only when done correctly. In failing to point out the monetary compensation part of teeth pulling, the OP makes it sound like Washington forcibly took the teeth of his slaves. Editorial history is dangerous.
