what do you think is the most sexy fascinating thing about computer parts ( or machine if you're willing )
i like gears turning and making cranking sounds as a starter :D
- 📦
OH MAN. OH STARS OKAY I’M ABOUT TO SAY SOME REAL EMBARRASSING SHIT AND I NEED Y’ALL TO BEAR ME WITH HERE OKAY AHAHSHTDHJVGJC
Gears turning and cranking sounds are ABSOLUTELY wonderful and I actually do enjoy those quite a bit myself!! (The daycare attendant has gears in their head apparently and so they have a constant idle clicking and shifting noise that I like to play on loop HAHA)
What I think is thee most downright flustering part of a computer is always the insides.
The wires and the small metal components and the circuit boards and all that fun stuff. Like these images, or this one, or this one. Those types of things are my FAVEEEE. I actually follow a wonderful wonderful blog for that kinda stuff too called “machine-guts” which I HIGHLY recommend if you’re anything like me LOL
There’s just something about seeing a computer with all the stuff you’re not supposed to see on full display. Wether it’s clear casing or missing casing or just being downright dissected, it is something I deeply adore and I truly honestly dream to someday be able to stick my hands in a bunch of wires or feel a computer’s circuit board and carefully build a pc in the gayest way possible.
AHEM. UH. STRAIGHTENS TIE. ALSO WORTH NOTING THAT JUST ANY EXCESSIVE WIRING/PIPING GETS ME TOO BUT YK AHSISHSODJDK

Once you got your engagement okayed by the marriage computer, Pre-Crisis Kryptonian marriages involved 2 consistent and essential aspects, the vows and the exchange of bracelets. The vows:
“In the name of Rao who kindled the sun, I take you, X, as my wife.” “In the name of Rao who shaped the moons, I take you, Y, as my husband.”
The couple would then exchange matching bracelets instead of rings. These bracelets were unique to each couple and color-coded - no one else was supposed to use the same colors. How this practically worked on a planet of millions is unknown.
Optional details and. ~citations~
These vows had a long history: they were in use for at least 17 generations, probably more, with the exact same words used in the wedding of Bur-El and Wedna Kil-Gor and their distant descendant Jor-El and Lara Lor-Van. (Superman Presents: The Krypton Chronicles, SPKC)
World of Krypton (WoK) (vol 1 not vol 2) has a fair amount of dialogue from the officiant as well: “Stand upon the Jewel of Truth and Honor, Jor-El II and Lara Lor-Van! Stand tall, swearing your love and allegiance, that all in this company may witness. For the vows you speak this day shall bind you as one for all eternity...before the eyes of man - and before the heart of Rao! Exchange the hued bracelets, my children! No others may wear the colors of Jor-El and Lara -- made husband and wife this day, and all days hence! May the countenance of Rao ever shine upon you, Jor-El and Lara!”
As mentioned, the couple to be married would stand on a crystal podium called “the Jewel of Truth and Honor,” possibly carved from the Jewel Mountains. Kal-L would later reconstruct this in the Fortress to get married to Lois on Earth-2. (Action 484 - Superman Takes a Wife)
(There was no officiant at this wedding, but to be fair Clark and Lois were already married as humans, and this was more a reaffirmation. Also there was no one to officiate.)
It was traditional to have statues of the parents of the bride and groom present (Superman 141 - Superman Returns to Krypton, SRTK)
It was acceptable for women to propose to men - Lara proposed to Jor-El. (WoK)
The officiant would wear purple, the bride would wear white. In the earlier wedding, the groom also wore white, but Jor-El showed up in a slightly nicer version of his normal day clothes (WoK and SRTK) (💀)
Weddings were rather public affairs; Kal-El, a stranger in a weird costume, witnesses his parents’ wedding in Kryptonopolis’s Palace of Marriage without being questioned (SRTK).
(Then again Jor-El and Lara getting married might have been the equivalent of the royal wedding since according to SPKC the House of El basically did everything ever.)
There is also a prehistoric wedding in SPKC which invokes Yuda, the old goddess of the moon, and also posits the marriage bracelets referencing the two moons: “by the glory of Rao, the sun, I take you X as my wife/by the mistress of the moons, Yuda, I take you, Y, as my husband.” Later Kryptonian society would shift towards monotheism and the reference to Yuda would be replaced.
(SPKC. The latter is set in a time before headbands were adopted as standard formal wear; interesting to see the women wearing them as opposed to the men.)
(WoK, with Kal’s presence referencing SRTK. The bottom right figure is Zod.)
(Action 484)
