My first encounter with Steampunk was at Comic-Con in San Diego this past July. Like a lot of people (though, admittedly, not a lot of people THERE) I had never heard of this sub-genre before. But I was seriously enthralled with the Steampunk costumes I saw, to the point that I have since been dipping my toes into some content online and have plans to delve further into it in the future when I don’t have so many essays to write.
Anyway, when I was reliving my SDCC glory days with some friends last week, I brought up the amazing costumes I saw, and some of the members of my group didn’t know what Steampunk was. I found I had a little trouble explaining it, given that I have only been aware it existed for a couple months. So I was just trying to find some more stuff online in hopes that I would be better prepared the next time it came up in conversation, and I came across this:
Probably would've seen a very different ending.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who finds this super funny.
student.
hi its wolverine.
I came across this TOO in trying to explain it to someone and i peed a little bit.
hot wolverine! how’ve you been keeping? hot, i hope.
glad you’re enjoying my blog
Ok, so what IS it? I appreciate the picture, and it’s a bit amusing, but I feel like it would be considerably MORE amusing if this blog entry had contained an actual explanation of steampunk. I’m still lost.
