#which is not the case

[aangarchy]

Y'all would not GUESS the conversation i had with my friend yesterday while watching enola holmes

Her: oh, sherlock's his name?

Me: yea

Her: so she named her son detective? And he became a detective? That's kinda weird

Me: wait what are you talking about?

Her: sherlock means detective, right? It's like a title, like chief?

Me: no, it's a name

Her: what?

Me: yea sherlock is a name, it doesn't mean detective

Her: oh i thought it did bc of no shit sherlock?

Me: no, "no shit sherlock" is a reference to him, because he's known as a brilliant detective so you'd call someone sherlock sarcastically

Her: oh...

Her: wow, this sherlock must have been a really important man then, if people still use that expression years later

Me: ... what?

Her: yea, idk what he did but it must have been big right?

Me: honey.... sherlock is a fictional character

Her: ... what ...

Me: people say no shit sherlock because the books about this fictional character became so popular. It was a book series.

Her: ... he doesn't exist?

Me: NO!!!

#before you ask yes she is a natural blonde #listen she's not the smartest cookie okay #she once said ww2 ended in the 80's #she also thought she broke my laptop when she accidentally opened the CD-rom thing #she also said yoghurt was always lactose free bc it's made from a flower #which is NOT THE CASE #dori rambles #dori's adventures #enola holmes #sherlock holmes

youtuber allegations are so common that my partner made a joke like once maybe twice that babish is abusive and ever since then every once in a while i catch myself thinking "wait... what did babish do again? didnt he beat his girlfriend?"

#which is NOT THE CASE

[erigold13261]

The scary part of your amazing Failed Revolution AU is that all of these terrible things are plausible consequences to their CANON actions. So if B2J never stepped up to revolt, everyone would’ve spiraled out of control. (Yes there are some creative liberties taken but still. B2J do fix problems that the NSRtists never could be done themselves in the end in canon.)

I can see where you are coming from, but it does depend on certain things. The reason the revolution failed in the AU is because of certain butterfly effects from the past. That means things are different in both AUs even if B2J never start a revolution.

OG universe would have Vinyl City be in a perpetual loop of blackouts, but the artists would still be content and even friends with each other. The environment is a lot less toxic, heck the most toxic person in the OG universe would probably DJSS just because he acts like a dick to everyone but that's just him being himself and not necessarily them targeting the people around them with bitterness and hostility.

The Sayu Crew would be happy as emancipated minors living together, Remi and Eve have a good relationship, Tatiana is nicer and actually cares about her employees, Neon J and 1010 are a family unit, and Mama and Yinu are loving and protective of each other.

All the Megastars in the OG universe are pretty much friends, or at least happy to be coworkers with each other. They help each other and are basically a big family. Which is why they are blind to the plight of the people, they want to keep their power and family in check.

The problems of NSR as a company wouldn't be fixed, but the charters and their relationships are fine. NSR would survive for a long time as a dominant force, but still with blackouts every now and then. Political corruption is still rampant, but it is not as easily viewable by the average citizen because the relationships of the Megastars are not getting in the way of the city's ability to run properly.

For the Failed Revolution AU, characters have slightly different personalities so B2J not doing the revolution leads to a different outcome.

Firstly, hatred and fear of robots/1010 is not an issue. So 1010 are fairly fine without the revolution (still not totally fine, there is still a highly toxic work-family life/internal relationships going on, but at least they don't have outside forces also against them).

Neon would probably not be fighting as hard to try and get 1010 out of NSR since the environment does not get so toxic as before. He would just casually be trying to find ways out of their contract with NSR. His drinking and physical ailments wouldn't worsen, but they would still be there. Possibly that would be something that would come up in the future as a problem for them.

Eve does not see Zuke get hurt, she has no idea where he is and so her mental health stays in the same place. She still does not go to therapy, and has no reason to try and change her outlook on life, but at least she is neutral to basically everyone around her. Heck she might even become friends with some of the other Megastars if given a small push (maybe by Yinu or Remi trying to reach out to her).

The Sayu Crew don't have any worries about what they should do with their lives without that wake-up call that their careers could be taken away from them. They would just grow up with NSR and leave their families to live with each other once they are of age to do so. Sure they would have some sever trauma from living with shitty families, but they make it through life and grow with the company.

Yinu and Mama happily make music, basically in their own world. Yinu would still be spoiled and bratty, but not as hostile to people or angry at the world. Her and the Crew could end up being friends in the long run. Mama would not be as protective (still she'd keep Yinu away from Neon because of his drinking) and she would not have any injuries so if they wanted to leave NSR then Mama would be able to since she could get a different job to support the family.

DJSS would probably end up getting fired at some point. His personality in this AU just does not mesh well with anyone and his work ethic would just slowly decline until Tatiana could no longer ignore it. The only reason he and Neon become close in the end was because of the Failed Revolution, so without that the two just spiral down their own rabbit holes of self detriment.

Tatiana would not have a reason to put pressure on her artists, or unknowingly pit them against each other since the revolution never happened. She would still not be as kind, but the environment would be much more like a workplace than a family. She would be more willing to fire people who are not keeping up with the music output (like DJSS) and getting new charters to fill their roles.

So this means that without the revolution, this AU would still have NSR for a longer time, however, it would fall into the same problems as the OG version where the people are being ignored. And this is mostly because of Tatiana's coldness and thinking she knows what is best instead of the company members being blinded by how good their lives are like the OG universe has it.

Both universes have their problems. One was able to fix a lot of them with the revolution, while the other had their problems compounded by the revolution failing. Honestly, I don't even think the problems would have been solved in the Failed Revolution AU if the revolution somehow DID succeed. It would just cause a whole new mess of problems for a lot of the artists (mainly Sayu Crew and 1010 I think).

It's amazing to think how much the butterfly effect can change things, or how changing a few characters reactions/personalities a tiny bit can change the outcome of a whole situation.

#nsr #no straight roads #failed revolution #eriau #eritalks #noart #asks #i hope this makes sense #because i think i see why you thought what you did #i think you are under the impression #that these two universes are the same #except for the fact that 1010 stopped the revolution #which is not the case #a lot of things happened in the past #that led to major changes in how these characters think and act #so they both look similar #but have their own problems that are not as apparent on the surface #so yeah #i could go into detail of how a failed revolution would look like with the og universe #or how a success first revolution would look like in the failed rev au #they would both be different from each other #but then i guess #that would start going into AUs of Aus #which is fine #but will probably get convoluted #lol #just thought experiments i guess #haha

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

[rotisseries]

that being said I'm not actually always opposed to conflict free fluff I am just opposed to the characters having their claws filed down for it. you can stick them in a coffee shop au it should just still feel like you sat the two worst most insane people on earth in a starbucks

#which in some cases I suppose if you did not file them down it would cease to be conflict free fluff #no matter WHAT au it was. but nevertheless

[littlemizzlinguistics]

Studying linguistics is actually so wonderful because when you explain youth slang to older professors, instead of complaining about how "your generation can't speak right/ you're butchering the language" they light up and go “really? That’s so wonderful! What an innovative construction! Isn't language wonderful?"

#linguistics #gen z slang #english #as people in the reblog pointed out! #most gen z slang comes from (or was appropriated from) aave #honestly I was just excited to talk about how people in my field actually get excited about non standard uses of English #instead of ridiculing speakers #and I tagged incorrectly and didn’t point out the very real issues of language and power and appropriation inherent in modern slang #in that much of it was appropriated #and even that which experiences language change in the wider culture still originated in aave #aave is just as linguistically valid as any other English dialect because it is a proper language #and the grammar is incredible!!! #habitual be is fantastic and an excellent example of how a richer case system or a certain case can render an adverb unnecessary #and the phonology is just beautiful #anyway I’m very sorry #I fucked up

Presenting: King Sidon, his wife Queen Yona and his boyfriend Link.

Yona is very supportive of everything except Sidon forgetting his ceremony cues.

(I had an atrocious week and TotK has been coming in clutch for keeping me sane.)

I like both but prefer the former #Like. Yona meets Zelda once things are settled and gets all flustered and tongue tied #and neither Sidon or Link have any idea what's going on because they share 1 braincell #which is used exclusively for fighting really good #sharky art #zelda comic

being aromantic is like. hey btw you're going to live a life that is the culmination of most of society's worst nightmares. sorry lol ✌️ but then you turn around and take a really good hard look at it and it turns out that living in that nightmare is fucking awesome and you get to wake up every day and take that fear that other people have and laugh and hold it close until it's a great joy for you instead. and being happy is a radical act that you define instead of someone else. and you're sexy as fuck that's just a fact of life i don't make the rules on that one

#aromantic people are just sexy i'm not making the decisions here it's just facts #course ur hot as fuck. it came free with the aromanticism #being sexy is just default settings for aromantic people 👍 #hope this all helps. anyway i'm on my 'i hope i die alone <3 i can't wait to die alone <3' kick rn #i think the existential fear that people have of Not Partnering specifically is so. well. #obviously that shit is strong and it is SO awesome to be free of it. #realizing you're aro and you don't Want a partner can be such a hit to the solar plexus #cause society says that's the only thing that'll make you happy. so either you go without that thing or you force yourself #into doing something you don't want which would make you unhappy anyway. #so you think it's a lose lose situation and you have to come to terms with what amatonormativity presents as the worst possible situation #but then! whoa! turns out personhood is inherently valuable in and of itself and romantic partnering is just a construct! #and that nightmare is now your life to do with as you please... define as you will... structure as you want... #best case scenario. is what i'm saying. #every day i wake up ready to spit all that amatonormative rhetoric back in life's teeth by being alone and being happy #and it's so fucking satisfying. every day. #fucking JUBILANT being by myself. and i love being a living breathing 'fuck you' to the romantic system #you need a partner to be happy? oh that's sooo fucking crazy guess i'll go be miserable then. in my perfect fucking dream life lmao #yeah obviously it's the worst possible outcome on earth to die without a partner. so terrible. can't wait for it :) #aromantic #aromanticism #aro positivity #aroace #arospec #sorry to bitches who are sad about not having a partner. i could not give a fuck though get better soon #you couldn't EVER pay me enough to go back to a mindset in which my inherent value wasn't enough by myself. #FUCK that shit. absolutely miserable and a bad life outlook in general. like genuinely do the work w/ amatonormativity and get better #life is something that can be so fulfilling whether someone wants to kiss you or whatever or not #i'm on antidepressants and i have people i care deeply about. what the fuck would i need a partner for lmao

Being transmasc means you will hear people say shit to you with their whole chest that, if they said to a cis woman, would get them on a block list of raging misogynists instantly also you are also on that block list for bringing this up.

#transmasc #trans rights #trangender #transandrophobia #and I specify cis women because I rarely see people defend trans women so aggressively #unless they can attack another trans person in the process in which case they suddenly become trans women's greatest supporters #but otherwise they seem to just get similar treatment #of really weird misogynistic comments then being insulted if they don't just accept it
