It IS possible to get a black eye while wearing glasses without the glasses being broken, I can say from experience. Unlikely, but possible.
Gladstone:
So, the glasses may be an improvement, the hair will grow back, and Clinton probably has plenty of Emergency Bowties waiting back at the dorm, but that tattoo of his is going to be much harder to get rid of, and I'm still of the opinion that, regardless of the fuck-it high he's on now, he's going to regret it later. Hell, the look on his face as he was getting it made it clear that he was already full of regret. It might be a cool design, but it definitely doesn't reflect Clinton's attitude about his prosthetic hand, and I worry that we're going to end the night with Clinton going "well, my new girlfriend is impressed with it, so everything's cool!"
His reaction when Claire called him seems to indicate that he's definitely not pleased about the events of the date, but there's always the possibility that it's a fake-out, and one smooch on the cheek from Emily will magically make everything better. Please, no. Clinton has clearly been embarrassed and humiliated (largely by his own doing), and that needs to be acknowledged as valid, not swept under the rug and treated as a bunch of comic mishaps. Otherwise, he'll never be anything more than the resident butt monkey. (Warning: TV Tropes link)

I'm still hoping that the end result is that someone starts in with the "I'm sorry your date was a disaster" line, and he replies with "Are you Kidding me?! That's the most fun i've had in my entire life!" You'll note that once he started to just say "Fuck it" to everything he seems to actually be having a good time. You don't see him have nearly so much fun at the lake house party.

Seems to me his "Fuck it!" is short for "Well, I've already made one giant mistake tonight, so fuck it, how much worse can it get?" And then he spends the next several hours changing his image as if there's no going back. Doesn't look like he's having fun, and that smile looks very forced.
Just gonna quote myself here:
--- Quote from: Gladstone on 08 Apr 2015, 20:44 ---I've never experienced the traumatic loss of a hand, but if I did, and if I was able to replace it with a prosthetic hand on the technological level of the QC-verse, then I might actually consider poking mild fun at myself and my condition with a somewhat-lighthearted tattoo showing off that I was a "cyborg." Maybe. Obviously I can't really know for sure, but I can guess. But Clinton isn't as casually easygoing as I imagine myself to be. Sure, he's not ashamed of his injury, and he's definitely not shy about displaying his cybernetic replacement, but one thing Clinton is definitely NOT, is casually-lighthearted about it. He's proud of his hand and somewhat confrontational about it (as demonstrated by his refusal to wear a flesh covering), but a jokey tattoo completely destroys that image. He is going to regret this for a long, long time.

And so born is Clinton, adrenaline junkie extraordinaire
