This brass sleigh bell, or rumbler bell as they are sometimes called, was excavated in 2006 from an early 1830s to 1840s privy in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The bell is missing a portion of one side as well as the loose iron ball from the inside. Bells were one of the most common sights and sounds in colonial and nineteenth-century America and were used for various purposes (Noel Hume 1970:59).

I got a new tablet for my birthday and my favorite thing about it so far is that I can unlock my true tux paint potential, I dont have to use a mouse anymore :D
This comes from the dms with @corrodedcoughin and it’s so stupid but I love the idea:
Eddie makes the song “Macho Man” Steve’s theme song. He sings it to him constantly. Especially when he needs Steve’s help with stuff like opening a jar or help carrying something. He convinces the band to play a metal cover of the song because 1) he’s committed to the bit, and 2) the way Steve blushes when he hears it is worth it. In a modern au, Eddie makes the song Steve’s ringtone.
For his part, Steve will playfully roll his eyes while he smiles and does a little flex for Eddie. He’s a little less playful and a lot more flustered when he hears Eddie sing the lyrics while making eye contact. But he’s always happy to be Eddie’s macho man
