I really love your human au designs (as an ugly man I must stay silent on how much I love J she's so fuckfkfnc pretty)
I do have some questions about the B-team and the rest of the au hahaha
Are Thad, Doll and Lizzy a friend group or are they mostly separate?
Is there a plan on what Khan, Nori, Yeva and Alice up to? Personally I'd love to hear your ideas on their 'regular' counterparts (Khan's definitely doing home security or door manufacturing)
Is the Jessa gonna ever be real...
Who in the gang can actually drive and what car (my vehicle autism wouldn't let me not ask this question)
Will we ever see some Intern Mitchell representation in the au?? He's the best character in the show after all (/j)
oh gosh J is probably my fav out of all of them—(I may be biased) I just had the most fun drawing her. as for the B team, they’re not exactly a group but doll and lizzy are friends with eachother and make it everyone elses problem.
Khan, Nori, Yeva and Alice are all in this au, Yeva is Nori’s sister which makes Doll her cousin. We dont focus too too much on them but there will be a few (mostly awkward) interactions courtesy of three traumatized veterans, their autistic, creepy gremlin of a housemate/sister, and their equally as autistic doctor who’s methods are…hippocraticatically questionable that their strange kids bring home like a box of stray kittens. I havent figured out Yeva, Nori or Alice but Khan is definitely in some kind of engineering/security company.
JESSA IS REAL and the one thing i will be saying about it is that nuzi is NOT the painful awful torturous frustratingly oblivious slowburn ship of this au. Tessa is STUPID. J is GAY. we will leave it at that
Tessa can drive. She has a shitty toyota corolla she paid more money to ship over to the states from AUS than on a first class ticket or a rental car. Its name is Bertie, she has no AC, shocks, or a working left back door and everyone HATES it because it is their main source of transportation. V is capable of driving but does not own a car. N and J are both unfit to drive for different reasons but both as a result of post traumatic stress.
As for mitchell, i dont know! it would be cute to have him in here somewhere, if only i could find a way to work him in…

Researchers at Hokkaido University have taken a significant step forward in the drive to make recyclable yet stable plastics from plant materials. This is a key requirement to reduce the burden of plastic pollution in the environment. They developed a convenient and versatile method to make a variety of polymers from chemicals derived from plant cellulose; crucially, these polymers can be fully recycled. The method was published in the journal ACS Macro Letters. Cellulose is one of the most abundant components of biomass derived from plants, being a key part of the tough cell walls surrounding all plant cells. It can be readily obtained from plant wastes, such as straw and sawdust, therefore, using it as a feedstock for polymer manufacture should not reduce the availability of agricultural land for food production.

Trey Info Compilation part 10: Downplaying (pt1)
Trey downplaying himself is a running theme: he blames himself for falling down the stairs in Book 2 so that Riddle will not feel bad about it and repeatedly assures people that he is not doing “anything special” when they compliment him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lilia mentions Trey downplaying that he was sick during a class, and when Azul compliments Trey on his “effortless consideration of others” Trey says “It’s nothing so noble or kind.” Jamil says it seems Trey must have his hands full with Riddle and Trey downplays his efforts by saying, “that’s the fate of every vice housewarden.”
Trey is downplaying himself constantly throughout Vargas Camp 2, saying that he is “not really MVP material” and asking Rook to not hype him up, as he isn’t looking for attention and he isn’t sure how to respond to everyone’s compliments.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When the prefect compliments him as well he says, “Don’t you go ribbing me now, too.”
When Cater comments on how that makes it sound as though Trey doesn’t believe them Trey explains, “I just get really uncomfortable when I’m the center of attention.” Malleus encourages him to hold his head high.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trey also insists that Rook gives him too much credit for catching their catfish and driving off the fairies at the camp: “I had to do something, so I did. That’s not really worth all this praise.”
The characters all come together to compliment Trey again at the end of the event despite his downplaying of everything he did and attempts to share credit with the group. Vil encourages him to just take a compliment.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Ace asks what he does in his room all the time Trey says he just does homework and reads, not doing anything special.
Ace calls him a model student and Trey says, “I’m more on the average side, really.”
This habit of Trey’s becomes a topic of conversation between him and Vil in a vignette where Trey says he is “honestly kind of shocked” at hearing that there are people who remark that he is an exceptional second-in-command to Riddle.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Trey insists that nothing he does is all that praiseworthy and Vill says, “Those with no appreciation for character would take your modesty at face value. Of course, if that’s the image you want to manufacture for yourself, don’t let me stop you. You’re only shooting yourself in the foot.” Trey assures him that he will adjust his approach moving forward.

Robot Headcanons
Tumblr media
(From left to right: Frank, Ace, AJ)
AJ:
* Most robots get to choose their own names upon gaining sentience. AJ's was given to him by GCBC. It's short for "Adam Junior".
* AJ is a very adventurous sort with a tendency to test limits and push boundaries. This accounts for about 75% of his headbutting with Frank.
* AJ loves to help others and do what he can to make someone happy. When GCBC announced they would no longer be hunting Master Builders and would instead be helping to rebuild the city, AJ was all for it.
* AJ is very much the sort who would sneak stray animals into the Tower.
* He has a habit of cracking jokes or otherwise making light of a tense or serious situation. This accounts for the other 25% of his headbutting with Frank.
* AJ's activation day is March 4. He is 7 years old.
Frank:
* Frank is a very by-the-books sort and prefers to treat serious situations in a serious manner. AJ's rule-bending and tendency towards levity drives him up the wall.
* He is very dependable and level-headed. There is very little that can ruffle his feathers.
* Frank prefers to express his caring and affection through making sure his siblings are safe and accounted for. He takes this job very seriously.
* Frank's activation day is August 17. He is 9 years old.
Ace:
* Ace is pretty laid-back and loves to chat. Especially about his "baby" (an Airbus H225).
* He is a pilot who has flown various types of aircraft, mostly dropships. His favorite to fly are helicopters. He's very skilled and he knows it.
* His left hand was crushed beyond repair in a crash. The only spare parts GCBC had at the time had discolored plating from a mix-up during manufacturing, so it's more of a brassy color.
* His activation day is January 8. He'll be 4 years old soon.
General Robot Trivia:
* The robots have a sense of touch. Most of their frames can only register pressure and heat or cold, but the palms of their hands and fingertips are every bit as sensitive as a human's and can pick out a variety of textures. They tend to get touchy-feely because of this.
* They also have a sense of smell, much better than a human's. They can detect things a human would never pick up on.
* While all robots were programmed with loyalty first and foremost to Business, the SwatBots have all developed a stronger sense of loyalty to their Chiefs. If GCBC were ever to leave Octan, they would follow in a heartbeat.
* The robots have a type of super-secure short range Wi-Fi they use to communicate with each other. Good Cop has jokingly referred to it as them having a "hive mind", and honestly, it does seem to function that way when they're all in close enough range to each other.

The Hound of the Baskervilles: The Man on the Tor
E. Remington and Sons, founded in 1816, was an American company known for firearms and typewriters, manufacturing the first commercial model of the latter. The typewriter part of the business was sold off in 1886 and via a series of corporate changes, the company is now part of Unisys. Not that it makes typewriters anymore.
The earliest known use of the word "sexy" comes from a letter by Arnold Bennett in 1896.
This is a period where people, especially of class, very much cared about avoiding scandal. A married woman visiting a single man late at night would be a scandal.
At this time Laura Lyons would have to prove that her estranged husband had committed both adultery and abandoned her. Proving the former would usually require a private detective of some form, beyond the means of most people.
A red letter day is one of special significance. In the UK, there are certain days where English High Court judges wear scarlet robes instead of the normal black. This would include religious festivals and the Sovereign's birthdays (official and actual), but I am unable to find an updated official list to reflect the situation with the current King.
Red Letter Days is also the name of a company that sells "experiences" like tank driving days or a cream tea at a posh hotel.
While Franklin possibly isn't aware of it as it was a common turn of phrases, the term "double event" was used in a postcard purporting to be from Jack the Ripper sent the day after that serial killer murdered two women in the space of an hour.
The Court of Queen’s Bench, now the Court of King's Bench, is the division of the High Court dealing with things like personal injury, libel and breach of contract:
Frankland clearly does not remember that you cannot sue the Sovereign. He could sue the Devon County Constabulary though, which has since become the Devon and Cornwall Police.
Tins for food were widespread at this time. They were made of iron, soldered with a tin-lead alloy, which could lead to poisoning by the latter until Max Ams developed a seam in 1888 that only required the solder on the outside.
A pannikin is a metal cup coated in enamel.
"Spartan" means austere. The city state of Sparta in ancient Greece was known, in a rather mythologicalised fashion, for its heavily militarised society, eschewing personal comfort for this. It attracted a lot of admirers as a result, including playing a big part in fascist beliefs. Their reputation for physical prowess has also seen several sports teams adopt their name, like AC Sparta Prague, who dominate the Czech association football game.
There is also of course 300...

I think a lot of community infighting among oppressed people is manufactured by bad actors to destabilize the power we have in our numbers. It's a lot easier to divide and conquer, so to speak. If our communities are fractured and we're driving each other away over who "qualifies" to be in the community, it'll be a cinch to win people over to conservatism, either because those people were made into outcasts by their community or because they couldn't get rid of the "undesirables and fakers" and just decided it wasn't worth the trouble anymore.
The best part (for those manufacturing the drama) is that the only thing they have to do is sow doubt in a few places, and the rest is done by people who bought into the bullshit. We saw a lot of this during the ace discourse heyday, and it works so well that the pattern is almost identical across so many different discourse topics.
"X isn't really a part of our community. They're actually fakers. Even if they're not faking, it's possible for them to conceal their identity and appear as if they aren't one of us [often not by choice or because being open about it would be dangerous], which means they have privilege over us and are an enemy."
With the ace discourse, we got such gems as "aspec actually means autism spectrum and using it to mean anything else is ableist," and "asexules actually just means sexualities in Spanish, ignore the fact that the asexual flag is right there," among other things. And it worked. A lot of us aspec folks felt unsafe enough that we went back into the closet. It wasn't even until recently that I felt safe enough to come to the realization that I'm aroace.
I saw someone not that long ago chastising transgender people for marking trumeds on shinigami eye as unsafe because "well they're not entirely transphobic, just misguided," which I thought was ridiculous. If someone is going around saying, "transtrenders are stealing our resources, those icky trans people who make their gender their whole identity shouldn't get to sit with us," that person is being transphobic. Even if they wise up and grow past that hatred and internalized bigotry, and there's a lot riding on that "if," they're still not a safe person for a good portion of trans people to be around. Hence, the marking them as unsafe.
So yeah, that's my conspiracy theory. There's like a formula for this shit, down to the smallest detail.
Thanks for the addition!
This... weirdly reminds me of that anti-endo who was theorizing that endogenic systems were a psyop meant to sow division.
That's not an insult. I actually... kind of enjoyed reading that theory, even if it was totally wrong. (As a system who definitely has no trauma and is still plural, I can confirm that we're not a psyop.)
I just find it interesting how similar your minds work. 😜
But I mean, when it comes to conservatives, you're also definitely not wrong in many cases! There are some conservative aggravators out there who will adopt progressive language to disguise hate, preaching values they don't truly believe in to sow division. And I wouldn't be shocked if you were right about it happening in the ace discourse.
I have a harder time believing that it's happening in syscourse though, just because of how niche the community is. While I hope things will change in the coming years, right now, I don't think we're even on the radars of 99% of conservatives.
With the ace discourse, we got such gems as "aspec actually means autism spectrum and using it to mean anything else is ableist," and "asexules actually just means sexualities in Spanish, ignore the fact that the asexual flag is right there," among other things.
It's actually eerie how similar the playbooks are. The whole "Aspec means autism" claim sounds exactly like the "system hopping was stolen from RAMCOA systems" lie. I wonder if we're just destined to eternally repeat history in different marginalized communities.
But can I ask what the deal was with the Spanish one? I'm confused on how that was even supposed to be a gotcha or what the argument was there.
Again, thanks for sharing your thoughts. And let me also say that I'm glad the infighting with exclusionists has settled down enough that you feel safe being out. Hopefully that bodes well for the plural community getting to a point where it's safer for endogenic systems.

you can care about trans youth without being like "theyre probably allosexual and i wouldnt care about their care being taken away if i didnt connect the dots that anti-trans policy might eventually affect asexual people too". like i think the overall sentiment of allyship to trans people is good and it's probably just an issue of poor phrasing but that post makes you sound kind of extremely self centered and douchey
Short version:
No.
Long version:
I think it’s an issue of “disinterpretation” not phrasing. You’ve read a stack of new words in between the actual words I wrote, and seem to be filling in motivations that contrast with the actual actions I took, which were to illustrate that even someone who might have a dismissive, “Not my problem, they don’t stick up for us, one of them said the A is for Ally bla bla bla” litany of excuses for ignoring transphobic legislation actually has a full spectrum of reasons—principled to pragmatic—to snap out of their factionalism or grievance-mindset, and get active.
“Probably allosexual” isn’t an insult or a dismissal, it’s a statistic, and the statistic that occasionally drives a wedge between some aspec people and the rest of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. We’re 1-2% of the population. That can lead to an overwhelming sense of erasure and apartness. “I can’t find any other real-life aces or aros” is a recurring theme on aspec social media. (Cue ‘agender skeleton at the bottom of the lake’ meme.) That, in turn, can dull empathy and sympathy, especially if it’s aggravated by exclusion/expulsion grievance. The words I actually wrote walk people like me backwards through a typical line of excuse, exposing it as nothing but an excuse.
Anyway, I’m not going to bother trying to unpack your motivations for trying to manufacture a crisis out of nothing, because I’m busy supporting my trans friends and coworkers through a real crisis here in my home province.

aC on vacation
so here's a summary of day 1, more later when i feel like getting the photos off my phone
got to a hotel where my brother and his wife are staying because fuck driving several hours when i should be asleep. google maps sends me to a parallel fucking dimension where the hotel was built on the opposite side of the city. also the roads here are somehow iced over when most of the road leading here wasn't so go figure. we try to get dinner and almost everywhere is closed on account of the snow, except for this hole in the wall chinese takeout place, because if you can count on any place to be open, it's one of these. they make the best general tso's chicken i've had in a long time, it turns out
woke up at like four in the morning for our 7:30 am flight, because by airport logic being only two hours early is tantamount to no-showing. this was right after shit got polar so the roads were covered in ice. at the parking place, i tried and failed to get past a barrier before the lever arm came back down again because it was on a slight incline and i couldn't get enough traction to clear it before it closed. this happened like SIX TIMES, it was some Three Stooges shit
our shuttle takes us over to the airport. i stick to my brother like a little kid to his mom because he's done this before and i have not. the flight is going to be five hours. which doesn't make sense to me because the return flight is only supposed to be three and a half. i dunno, maybe headwinds or something? i'm not a fucking pilot. i'm anxious to get this part over with because, again, never flown before. after waiting for clearance for what feels like forever (justified, on account of ice) we're finally in the air. it's... nothing? it's kind of mundane and somehow boring. one of the greatest achievements in human history and the only difference between this and being on a bus packed full of strangers is there's no road to rumble against that eventually numbs your butt, and also it's several degrees of magnitude faster than a bus i suppose
we arrive at LAX and if i didn't already feel like a fish out of water then oh boy. how the fuck do people live like this? how do you figure out who's supposed to go where? it's like living in the Kowloon Walled City, thought the guy who grew up imagining anywhere big enough to have a walmart counted as a "big city"
we get another shuttle, this one absolutely cramped with people, to get to the rental car place. my brother argues with the guy (who isn't even actually *physically* there, he's somehow doing sales over Zoom or some shit) for like half an hour before telling him to cancel the whole thing. turns out they wanted close to four times what he was originally quoted and weren't budging. we decide to get an uber to the closest In-n-Out, because we're in California, and also starving, so why not. we're standing in line looking a bunch of huge dorks carrying around suitcases. if i was ever going to be mugged in broad daylight it would be right here, right now. i order a double double combo, swap out the tomato for onions because raw tomato has all the texture and flavor of a balloon filled with wet sand, and onions and cheeseburgers go together like chocolate and peanut butter. the burger's okay, i guess. the fries are the most boring fries i've ever eaten. at least it's probably the cheapest meal i'll have while i'm here
we take another uber to get to our airbnb, about 45 minutes out. every other billboard is this guy
Tumblr media
we arrive and immediately notice something is wrong. it was advertised as 4 bed. there are TWO double beds. this is pretty good if you're two married couples and not so much if you're the double third wheel travelling with two married couples. there's one room with a folding leather futon and not much else that seems kind of pointless and i decide this is where i'll stay. turns out that futon is the least comfortable sleeping surface ever manufactured in human history and there are maybe three exact positions that are even kind of comfortable enough to fall asleep in while lying on it and not having an iron bar press up into your lower back or your shoulderblade or the back of your neck
END OF DAY 1

The first William Henderson designed four cylinder motorcycle, America's finest early four cylinder, influential for decades This is believed to be the only original/unrestored 1912 Henderson known in America
Original paint and tires 59 cubic inch F-Head Four Cylinder engine Henderson was based in Detroit, formed by brothers William and Tom The Henderson company was purchased by Ignatz Schwinn in 1918, adding a four cylinder to the Excelsior lineup.
Working for Schwinn for two years, Bill and Tom broke away and started the ACE motorcycle company. The Culmination of Henderson design can be seen in the Indian Four
Formerly from the Doc Cleveland Collection. William Henderson was an engineering child prodigy, as so many historical figures seem to be. He was born into the motoring industry, as his grandfather, Alexander Winton, had founded one of the earlier auto makers in the USA, and his father was Vice President of Winton Motors. William joined the family firm at 16, but spent his free time sketching out ideas for motorcycles, which he’d pass by his father for technical critique. Eventually, the sketches became blueprints, and his father could only nitpick at the sound design for a 4-cylinder motorcycle his son had penned in 1909. Figuring the effort of actually building a prototype from the sketches might curb his enthusiasm, Tom helped William build a working prototype in 1911; the resulting machine worked so well, young William was able to secure funding to the tune of $175,000 to start manufacture on his own. Working with his brother Thomas as chief operating officer, the Henderson Motorcycle Company produced its first motorcycle from its Detroit factory in January 1912.
The first Hendersons used a 4-cylinder 57 CI (934cc) motor with inlet-over-exhaust design, with a single-speed chain drive and a clutch. It was started via a folding hand crank, just like a Winton car, and the very long chassis was designed for stability and the ability to carry a passenger with ease. The front fork had a short leading-link suspension, and the fuel was carried in a long cylindrical torpedo tank. It was a beautiful and elegant machine, wonderfully constructed, very fast and expensive at $325. It was soon labeled the “Duesenberg of motorcycles” for good reason, with totally smooth running, a charming exhaust note and an air of quality. Carl Stearns Clancy famously chose a Henderson for the first ever round-the-world motorcycle journey, which began in October 1912 and covered 18,000 miles by August 1913. Clancy earned money selling press reports and photographs of his trip, making an incredible publicity coup of Henderson.
This 1912 Henderson is the only original-paint, first-year Henderson known in America. It retains the paint applied by the factory, as well as the tires and everything else. It is truly a once-in-a-lifetime motorcycle, in remarkable condition for being 105 years old and would be welcome in any Concours d’Elegance around the world as a solid-gold original. How does one value such a machine? One doesn’t; if you can afford it, do what it takes to secure it as this is as good as it gets.
