Perpeptual
Some of Young justice are teleported/isekai'd during one of their battles to an underdeveloped world barely out of the iron age.
The planet confuses them, perpeptual night but the climate is warm and the flora abundant regardless of the missing sunlight. It has a single yellowy green moon that is stuck in orbit at the same point in the sky as the stars move around it.
Some of the locals have accepted them into their small village, their language is close to spanish; esperanto Wally says. Atleast they can somewhat communicate now. The people are unsettingly human with only slight changes to their body; lighter skin, pointed ears and glowing eyes.
They spend a little over two weeks helping the locals with their building some kind of stage for a festival. A large corridor of metal, spires of green crystal that Connor says make him woozy on top of his already low solar energy from the weeks stranded here and thick braided cord wound around the bases of the spires and inlayed into an intricate pattern winding their way to the corridor of metal.
The chief, Degelinta Stellumo, is happy to say the festival can begin early. When asked about the festival they cant translate much other than it's to thank their god for keeping them safe. About how thousands of years ago the day god Rox tried to consume their world, the night god Phan covered their world in protective night to protect it from Rox's anger.
The team is perplexed as the festivities begin, rhythmic chanting fills the air as one of their young men, that Megan recognizes as Stelo, walks forward dressed in furs and a iron crown upong their head. He steps into the corridor, the crystals glow brightening as he does so, almost alive in the perpeptual moonlight and the chanting getting faster and faster. Duh-duh-duh-duh-da-duh-duh-da-duh-da~.
There is a massive flare of light coming from the corridor, the crystals shatter and fly everywhere and the people cheer. Stelo steps, no floats from the now blackened corridor changed; his body glows in a pale white light, hair once black now pure white while his eyes are toxic green from his previously white and a cloak of stars floats behind him in an invisible wind.
He looks around confused, tired, until his eyes settle on the young superheroes going from Connor's house of El crest to Miss Martians skin to Robins stylized R.
Everyone is shocked as the being speaks to them in echoy but clear english, "You lot are a long ways from home, arent you?"
"Uhm, yes... sir," Tim hesitantly asks hesitantly unsure how to address this being? God? Entity?
"Right, well not to belittle your situation but we're holding up the festivities I'm certain the Sheo'lp people have been working on for some time. Let us celebrate a bit then we can talk about your situation."
"What are you," Megan blurts out, confused, "Stelo stepped into that corridor and his mind is gone and now theres just static."
"I suppose i can answer that easily enough. My name was/is Danny and I dont know what I am anymore. Once the festival ends, Stelo will return to himself. I promise."
The now named Danny stops floating and walks over to the tribespeople, stopping to hug and greet everyone by name and accepting food and drink happily. He cries as he eats the food and drink, thanking the people in esperanto repeatedly as he does so, this goes on for several hours before the partying starts to die down and Danny takes the group over to a dying bonfire.
"Right, I suppose you have questions but I would like some verification."
"Verification?"
"Yup, just need to know if you are who I think you are. It's been forever since I've been around earth but you look familiar.
He points at Miss Martian, "M'gann M'orzz?"
Pointing to kid flash, "Bart? No... Wally West."
Points to Robin, "Damian Wayne."
Points to Superboy, "and that would make you Jon Kent."
They partially confused, partial perturbed that this entity knows some of their names. Tim looks him square in the eyes, studying him, thinking about protocols for what to do when a godlike entity just namedrops your baby brother like its no big deal.
"Its just Robin as I am," Tim says, eyes never leaving Danny's.
"Shit right, apologies I forgot about superhero 101, no names. Its been a while since I had to worry about names, time is blurry these days to me. Now! What about those questions?"
"Can you get us home," Tim asks straight forwardedly. "We've been missing from earth for a few weeks now."
"Sure," he says nonchalantly, surprising the team, "Well yes and no. *I* can get you home but I know something who can but you need to Promise me that you'll follow my directions once you go home. Deal?" He holds out his hand to Tim, who looks at it before shaking it.
"So long as it doesnt endanger those i care about then Deal."
Danny nods before taking a deep breath and holding out a hand, a small crack running through the seam of reality as green light fills the area, from the crack a scroll flies through at high speeds as he catches it. "Hello old friend," he says tiredly, seeming to have dimmed greatly from that stunt.
"A scroll," Connor asks incredulously.
"A map," Danny corrects, "of everything. Take hold of each other before taking the Map, once you do take the map and say where you want to go." He looks at connor briefly, "it wont be a pleasant trip for Jon but it is nessesary for you to get home. Hopefully this trip should innoculate your biology against ecton radiation."
"Wait radiation," wally yelps.
"Its harmless to humans, mostly. Its the fastest way to get back to Earth, youre on the other side of the universe kids. Now, once you're back on earth tell the Map to return home and let go. So take the map, i need to go speak to the chief for a bit. Thank you for being here and letting me help." Danny groans as he slowly gets up and walks over to the chief's tent.
"Do you think he's okay," Megan asks the group as Tim looks the rolled up map over.
Connor watches as Danny leaves, "He's low on energy. Like how Kryptonians are without yellow sunlight."
"Unfortunately we cant focus that right now, grab hands its time to go." They each take the others hand as Tim holds up the map, "take us to the Justice Leagues Watchtower on Earth." The map unfurls as a blue energy grows over the group as they begin floating and the scroll begins to drag them across the sky, a similar crack as before opens before them and swallows them up and the next couple of seconds are filled with blurred visions of vast green voids, purple doors and massive beasts lurking in the distance, the eyes following the team as the fly past.
As quickly as it began its over as a final crack tosses them out at a fast speed into the Justice Leagues cafeteria, scattering on impact and flinging food everywhere as the security systems begin to screech as the team sigh in relief.
"We're home..."
***
"So you mean to tell us you've been trapped on another planet for all this time," Barry asks as the members of young justice sit at the conference table with the other adult members of the justice league.
"Yes sir."
Batman is pensive as hes thinking, "and this entity called you by your names?"
"Mostly, he thought Kon el and I were our younger counterparts."
"Hnn."
Kid Flash leans over to Megan and whispers, "that's bat for I dont like this." Barry cuffs him over the head.
"So should I return the map to Danny?"
"Did someone say my name," a chipper young voice says as he sticks his head through the table, familiar glowing green eyes and white hair who freezes at the sight of the map, "how do you have that? B What's going on?"
"The young justice team has been stranded on a distant planet for several weeks, they just got back with the help of this artifact. Do you recognise it?"
"Course I do, don't know how you have it because its supposed to be with FB in the zone."
"Wait a second," megan exclaims, suddenly recognizing the static she was getting from him "You're Danny! What happened to Stelo?"
"Who?" That takes the wind out of her sails, "oh... i get whats going on here. Classic time travel, don't tell me anything. If you have the map then FB or I gave it to you for a reason. You should send it back."
"Do as he says Robin," Batman says nodding in understanding.
Tim takes the map in his hand, "go back home, uh... map?" He drops it as it unfurls and zooms off through another green crack. "What's all this about?"
"Dunno," Danny says as he leans back as he floats through the table, "hasn't happened yet."
______________________________________________
Authors note:
Little more detail on what happened between the gods in the Sheo'lp's tale. Their sun was going supernova and Phantom in a last ditch effort to save the planet wrapped his being around the planet as the sun exploded around them. His ice core cooling the suns now explosive heat, his body giving them stars to look at and his core to give them light. Their planet is essentially a terrarium surrounded by a critical nuclear reactor. Due to time dialation from earth to there hes been holding back the sun for over a thousands of years by the point YJ arrive.
The festival is a recreation of the fenton portal that they offer one of their own for Phantom to overshadow to partake in their food and drink as thanks. Once he runs out of energy from the crystals his overshadow breaks and he returns to his duty leaving the host with memories to later become the chief and lead their people with their knowledge.

Trafalgar Law NSFW Alphabet pls🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
ofc broski 😎 this is just letters a - n, i’ll possibly do more but idk yet!
cw : smut, afab reader, not proof read, cumming inside but law gets rid of it with his devil fruit, undergarment stealing, cowgirl position, possibly ooc?, awkward loser law, dirty talk, masturbation,
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
as a doctor, law makes sure you take all the necessary precautions, even though you’re sore asf.
fortunately, after he’s convinced you handled yourself properly, he drags you back into bed and places a plethora of sloppy kisses on your jaw.
surprisingly, the surgeon of death is a real softie during aftercare, no matter how hard he went just a few minutes prior. he pampers you, covering your naked body with the mountains of blankets on the bed.
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
on himself, he likes his tattoos. they’re symbols, and essentially verifications, that he’s loved and he is capable of being loved by another. he wants to get a tattoo for you too, you’re this age of law’s image of love, so why not?
on you, he reallyyyyyyyyy likes you’re waist. no matter your shape, your waist is where his hands automatically lead to when he’s around you.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
he can cum inside you without a worry since he can just get it out of you with his devil fruit, so why wouldn’t he take advantage of that?
the first few times, he does make himself wear a condom out of worry but his fear soon leaves him and, man……….. if he was not gonna cum inside of you at least twice a week from here on out, he didn’t think he’d make it.
he also loveeeeeeessssss when you cum on his face after using him to pleasure yourself.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
… panty stealer. he’s the fearsome surgeon of death, but he’s still a man with a lot of pent up demand for pleasure.
he’ll muffle his face with an unwashed pair, his hand wrapping around his cock and jerking himself off.
his tongue slowly licks at the fabric where your crotch would sit and, when he cums, he brings your panties down and spills all over them.
he’s sure to throw it in with his laundry and sneakily place it in your underwear drawer, tho ^^
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
experience? ……… who?
yes, i’m a diehard virgin law enthusiast, fight me!
he’s been so busy with his personal revenge plots that he hasn’t had time for sex.
sure, he’s jerked off plenty of times, whilst admiring a piece of fanart from one of his favorite series, but that was as far as it went.
that was until he met you.
since then, you and him will go at it like animals, very much to his pleasure.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
like i said in this post, his favorite position is cowgirl.
while he enjoys being in control, he cannot deny how much he loves seeing you on top of him with your tits bouncing ever so gorgeously.
when you get weary, he’ll piston his hips up into you.
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
law’s always such a serious and stoic guy. knowing this, you’d expect him to be a stone cold, unwaveringly nonchalant dude when it came to sex.
NOPE!
you’ve earned his love. you get to see him be soft and silly, as a treat.
when the moment is tense and suffocating my hot, he’ll chime in with a cheeky joke, poking fun at something he does just to get a giggle out of you.
he can be balls deep inside of you and still self deprecate.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
he will trim them down, but he rarely shaves. he doesn’t really see the point of it. pubes are there for a reason, so why would he get rid of them?
during long missions, he never trims OR shaves, so he gets a cute bush. the carpet matches the drapes.
law also doesn’t mind pubes on you, in fact, he finds himself getting a stiffy by the thought of you and a lovely bush 🫣
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
early in the relationship, he’s a lot more awkward and not exactly sure how to do the whole intimacy thing. when he tries dirty talk for the first time, he stutters and his voice cracks…….. dear lord save this man
once you two get more comfortable with one another, and by law’s standard that means your souls are intertwined together, he’ll definitely get the hang of being romantic. he’s conscious about your reactions to things and what you like.
eventually, dirty talk comes a lot more naturally. he’ll whisper it in your ear, his hot breath tickling your neck.
”lovely… you’re soaking right through your panties, just after sucking my dick… you’re filthy, honey…”
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
he used to jerk off roughly twice or three times a week, when he was about to go to bed. he found it was the only time he had to release whatever he had pent up. he’d typically just do it to porn.
when he was crushing on you, his masturbation ritual count rose up to four or maybe even five times a week. you’re such a light in his life, convincing him that he was capable of being loved, so he did he guilty at first for tarnishing your angelic image.
but once you two started going out, he felt a lot more comfortable jerking it to you. the best part was that, now, he had the real person that he imagined when yoinking it.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
has a praise kink while also having a degradation kink. this dude istg
he tends to mix them both in his dirty talk, for example:
”you take me so, so good, dumb slut…” “you look fucking pathetic on top of me, princess.”
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
other than the bed, you have a few limited options around the tang that he feels comfortable having sex in.
first would be the shower. it’s just as private as the bedroom and, bonus, he’ll just turn on the water to drown out both of your sounds. he enjoys pressing you front-first into the glass, seeing your tits smushed up against them with the tension seemingly steaming up the room.
second would be the closet. a lot more frisky,
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
it really gets him going when you do tiny acts of service for him. like making him coffee in the morning, insisting on helping him with paperwork, bringing him lunch when he refused to remove himself from his desk chair.
it makes him feel loved and respected, since you know he is a very busy man and does need someone’s help, despite parading around as a tough, stoic man. he had to grow up quick, so being able to lean on you has a big impact on him.
if you do something as simple as bring him dinner, he’ll ‘return’ the favor in other ways…
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
he isn’t turned off by spanking or light choking, in fact he enjoys giving you pussy slaps and a bit of pain play, but stuff that can quickly go wrong with just one slip is an automatic no.
think things like wax play, knifes, and fire usage.

Headcanons for being a black belt and joining Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai x reader
warnings:
a/n: takes place roughly season 2 yeehaw. EMCON I HOPE U LOVE THIS
prompt: @the-radio-star: “*rises from the dead to send in a cobra kai request* could I please request Cobra Kai headcanons for being a new student in the Valley who was a black belt back home on the East Coast? thank youuuuuu!!!! COBRA KAI NEVER DIES”
Tumblr media
you were da new kid in the valley
and you were actively seeking a new dojo
and what better dojo to pick than the one that won the “all valley championship” or whatever? i mean, it’s gotta be good, right?
one day after class, you visited this “cobra kai” dojo and recognized a few kids from your new school
and perfect timing as summer was just around the corner
“hey, new kid! joining our dojo? here to learn some karate?” -hawk
“actually, i’m a black belt” -you
“hah, nice one!” -hawk, followed by deafening silence “you’re serious?”
“yeah, uh, where’s your sensei?” -you
“he’s in his office, follow me” -miguel “sensei, a newcomer”
“hell yeah, come on in” -johnny “starting your karate journey with cobra kai, not a bad choice”
“actually, i’m a black belt back home. i just moved here from the east coast and i needed a new…dojo home. you guys won a tournament recently?” -you
“we sure as shit did!” -johnny
“well, i’ve won a few tournaments back home. i also have a letter of recommendation and my sensei’s contact information if you need verification or something that i’m—” -you, abruptly cut off
“nah, i don’t need all that shit. just come out onto the mat and i���ll have you fight our champion. that’ll tell me what i need to know” -johnny
you followed his instructions and walked out to the mat where his class was waiting. he instructed them to make room for a spar and called miguel up.
“class, this is…uh, what was your name?” -johnny
“y/n” -you
“this is y/n from all the way on the east coast…somewhere vague. says their a black belt in karate. won a few tournaments. we’re about to put that to the test” -johnny
you and miguel took fighting stances and once “fight” was called, you quickly took action to prove yourself. a few showy moves, then straight for the victory.
miguel was on his back on the mat in less than 10 seconds
“well, i’m inclined to believe you, y/n. come to my office, we’ll fill out some paperwork and get you a gi. miguel, you can lead warmups so long as you don’t get knocked on your ass again today” -johnny
“yes, sensei” -miguel
“man, i’m glad i didn’t have to fight them. that must have been embarrassing” -hawk
“shut up, man. sensei is mad at you, too. don’t push it.” -miguel
honestly, you were very surprised by the karate culture of the valley
“is—is this why my mom had to sign a waiver?” -you standing in front of a fucking cement truck “is this even legal?! is this how you guys train??”
“just don’t draw attention’s to yourself and you’ll be fine” -bert
“yeah, sounds like a plan. and what’s this old guy’s story?” -you, pointing at kreese
“dude. you’re gonna get me drowned in cement” -bert, scooting away
anyways, joining the dojo did help you make some new friends
and you loved these beach days with your classmates
“dude, dating the daughter of your sensei’s arch nemesis is kind of crazy. like, what are the odds of that” -you
“can we not talk about sam anymore?” -miguel
“you’re literally the one that brought her up, we were just trying to play volleyball” -you
dojo days really started to become your favorite
sensei lawrence was comedy gold
“does he actually think ‘hashtag’ is ‘hashbrown?’” -you
“just…don’t” -aisha
you loved how cut and dry he was
and how he just insults everyone unapologetically
“yeah, sensei, you tell ‘em!” -you after johnny calls someone else a pussy
you actually started to get in the groove of rivalry
but like you didn’t 100% know it was serious and like, very deep seated hate like you thought it was a bit
“yeah we should burn their dojo down!” -you, trying to fit in
“i like how you think, lets do it!” -hawk
“wait, no, i was joking” -you
“hahah, yeah…me too” -hawk, lying
during valley fest you guys but on like, a really badass show and you honestly loved the vibes
but like, this wasn’t like any dojo you’ve seen before
“it’s gotta be a west coast thing. or like, a california thing” -you to your parents
you became one of johnny’s favored students fast
and when tory joined up, she also fought miguel
“does sensei just let miguel beat up all the new recruits? what is the sense behind that? tory doesnt even have karate experience.” -you
“neither did miguel and he won the all valley” -aisha
“HE DIDNT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE??” -you
what do you mean the all valley top 3 were all new to karate???
who else was in this tournament????
you went to the beach/resort with aisha and tory and it was actually a good time. you were glad to make friends over the summer
“aisha, i never want to leave this place. summer in california is awesome” -you
“compared to where you came from? i’d be in awe too” -tory
“uh, that was rude” -you “but true”
meeting sam after hearing miguel complaining was surreal
“that’s her? he didn’t mention she hated fun” -you
johnny let you lead class sometimes
which kind of gave you an ego boost he encouraged
you be glaring at sensei kreese tho that guy didn’t have the right vibe
“good job today, y/n” -kreese
“yeah, i know” -you
you were pretty excited for the prospects of the next all valley
which you wish you didn’t miss by a hair this year you could have kicked miguel and robby’s asses
“i would have won the last all valley” -you
“doubt it” -miguel
“i knocked you on your ass five minutes after meeting you” -you
“that wasn’t a tournament” -miguel
“just you wait” -you
you called home every once in a while to update your friends from school and your dojo friends
“what? cement truck? that’s not legal, y/n, you need to contact the police” -old friend
“nah, it’s fine, i had fun” -you
definitely raised concern in your former sensei, but you told everyone it was chill
“it’s cool to learn a different take on karate. very…badass” -you
you were being converted (?)
or would you stick to your roots
only time would tell
you learned more and more about the local karate drama and you were SAT with all this tea
“yeah, and so, don’t tell anyone this, by the way. or else i will kick your ass” -hawk, beginning to whisper “robby keene is sensei lawrence’s kid. shut the fuck up tho dont tell a single soul”
“WHAT” -you
that knowledge had you on the floor with a diagram of drama to connect the dots
“ok so in the 80s johnny was a student at cobra kai, larusso was new to the valley from jersey, starts to train in karate with a ‘mr. miyagi,’ larusso crane kicks johnny and johnny leaves cobra kai—something has to be missing from that, kreese was his sensei? he seems a little off i dont like him—johnny reopens cobra kai years later after miguel inspires him to become a sensei, miguel starts dating larusso’s daughter, johnny’s son starts working for larusso and joins his dojo, miguel and robby face off in the all valley tournament. am i missing anything?” -you
“you’re just scratching the surface” -hawk and miguel
“get me up to speed before school starts. please” -you
you got the sam edition(tm) from aisha too
AND aisha’s very graphic rendition of her standing up to yasmine
“front wedgie…aisha how did you even think of that?” -you
honestly you wanted to observe the drama, not be apart of it
little did you know that was not really an option in CK
especially when the miyagi do dojo is defiled
you kinda side eyed hawk while johnny yelled at everyone about it. he did seem pretty enthused when you made a joke about burning down their dojo
damn, you hoped no one would bring that joke up thats actually really incriminating
anyways, johnny went on his trip with his old cobra kai homies (which u thought was really sweet you hoped in 30 years you could still be friends with your less-destructive karate buds)
you went to coyote creek with the gang for a training exercise
“you ever do anything like this back home?” -tory
“uh…not really? i mostly did weapons training, kata, some sparring…in a dojo, of course” -you
“yeah, sensei lawrence isn’t exactly the most traditional” -miguel “when i was his only student he actually tied my hands and threw me into a pool in the middle of the night when no one was around”
“HUH??” -you
once you were all deep in the forest and the rules were explained to steal headbands and such, you had a question of your own
“are there any animals or bugs native to california i should be concerned about? like, florida had alligators and their student get trained to run away in zigzags—is there anything out here that you guys have been trained to escape that i should know about?” -you
your question was laughed at but you were dead serious
u were on miguel’s team and noticed an awkward rift once the “battle” was over
“dude, what’s wrong?” -you
“this is” -miguel flashing the medal of honor he took from hawk
“is that..?” -you, connecting more dots “i think i need a notebook or something to keep up with this”
“that’s weird. don’t do that” -miguel
“noted” -you
you were shocked to hear that kreese had been booted from CK
“i wonder if miyagi do has this much drama?” -you
before the summer was over, hawk’s ex moon threw a party and you were over the moon (haha get it) to be able to meet more people before classes were back in
maybe making friends outside of the dojo was a good move
unfortunately it didn’t take long for dojo rivalry to ruin the party
we got moon’s new gf, hawk and demetri argument, sam and tory drink-off, sam and miguel kiss, and then the cops showing up
“we just cant have a non-messy outing can we? on the east coast we could just go to school, go to the dojo, go to the mall, go to parties and no one got in some weird karate driven fight” -you, complaining while running from the cops
“can you stop talking about the east coast? you’re in the valley, this is what happens in the valley” -miguel
you try a hard reset when your first day of school starts
meet up with your friends, find your classes, have a great first day of the new school year!
everything had been tense since moon’s party, but you weren’t gonna let that affect you!
until tory got on the PA and summoned sam for a karate brawl
“no fucking way. no way. i cannot be apart of this” -you
it did not take long until you were apart of this
in the hallways of your new school, terrible way to start the year, you were just trying to break it up!!!!
but as soon as someone hit you in the face all bets were off you were a menace
blah de blah blah tory cuts sam with her bracelet, robby throws miguel over the railing down the stairs, everybody gets a vibe check, miguel is in the hospital in a coma, tory is arrested, robby is on the run
miraculously you have been cleared of all wrongdoing as you talked your way out of it
“i’m new here, i don’t even know these people!! i was just scared for my life so i fought back. i could have been thrown down the stairs too, my parents could sue!!” -you
despite all your dojo rivalries, you checked in on sam when you crossed paths at the hospital. you knew how much she meant to miguel and you thought that was fucking insane
“i know we don’t really know each other from anything but karate, but i really didn’t know what was going on. im new to the valley and im trying to make friends, i never thought it’d end up like this” -you
“yeah, sometimes we make friends with the wrong people” -sam
“i grew up with karate, and cobra kai had just won this super popular tournament over here, it seemed like the right choice” -you
“i get it. i know it’s not your fault. and it’s nice to meet you now that we’re not at each other’s throats—this karate rivalry is decades old, too. i can’t even keep up with it” -sam
“you think miguel is gonna pull through?” -you
“i hope so…i dont know how i’ll go on if he doesn’t. so he has to” -sam
“i feel you there…this might be a bad time, but are there any openings at miyagi do?”

🚨🚨🚨Congress hiding behind "protecting" LGBTQ+ to push for censorship bills that would harm us
May 8, 2023
The EARN IT Act isn't the only bill Congress is rushing through this session that's secret goal is to censor and surveil Americans, especially queer ones.
KOSA (s.1409), or the Kid's Online Safety Act, is being hailed across the mainstream media and congress as the best bill to "protect children online from algorithmic harm" by essentially, blocking content that gives minors anxiety, depression, eating and substance abuse disorders, online bullying and harassment, sexual exploitation and abuse, suicidal behaviors, and addiction. It's gives the FTC, who are politically appointed by the president, and all 50 state attorney generals enforcement power to do this. As long as they can justify a website 'harmed' a minor by having content that leads to 'anxiety, sexual exploitation, and suicidal behaviors', they will push lawsuit over lawsuit to that site until it censors that content for the minor.
Oh, but that's not it, either. HOW will websites determine who is and isn't a minor? Well don't worry, because the bill says "age verification isn't required". That however does nothing to stop websites from pushing age verification. When they're about to be held liable and sued for millions, when there's an age verification lobby that has pushed these bills successfully in half the states, when websites should know "reasonably" that theres a minor, they are GOING to go for age verification. Multiple experts agree that this would happen.
Last year, nearly 100+ LGBT and human rights orgs sent a letter opposing KOSA. They were ignored and Senator Blumenthal (same guy who is pushing the EARN IT Act) met with different orgs to "update the language". Except nothing in the update language changes any of it's impact. Sure, they removed "grooming" from being a target of this bill and instead are focusing on "mental health". Except, the Missouri Attorneys General, in his emergency order banning gender affirming care, cited a number of medical studies effectively claiming that access to gender affirming care is causing young people to experience mental health issues. They will use ANY excuse to censor content.
This is the tumblr purge 2.0 but for the entire internet. It's just as bad as the EARN IT Act. And it has IMMENSE levels of support. You have the national Eating Disorder Coalition, child advocacy orgs, the freaking American Psychological Association, LIZZO!!!! supporting this. It needs IMMENSE levels of backlash from us, the grassroots, the people.
The best way to fight back is to CALL YOUR SENATORS. It's now going to go to the commerce committee for markup, after it will head to a vote. This is going to be fasttracked and most likely voted on this month or June. It's all hands on deck.
Link to call script to read off alongside numbers to call:
A bunch of petitions you can sign (takes less than 5 min)
Open Letter Against KOSA
Petition 1
Petition 2
Petition 3
Petition 4
Resistbot: Text PHJDYH to 50409
And more information here: Linktree
This is a great TLDR article to read: Vox Article
TLDR; Congress's new bill KOSA that has an immense amount of bipartisan support will lead to internet censorship by giving all state attorney generals, even the ones in Texas and Florida, power to sue websites for "harmful" content and decide what is "dangerous" for minors, force websites to make you upload your govt ID online, and lead to widespread abuse of queer youth. We have to fight back NOW or else we will see an internet-wide purge of any adult and queer content online, globally.

today, i found out about b1gc4lgut.
some would be tempted to take this as a sob story about the dangers of online communities, and see the world as a darker place for having encountered this person. but i find something inspiring in the story of b1gc4l and how they were run off.
cw: incest and homophobia, under the cut
looking at their behavior… the squid sisters incest part didn't really surprise me, but how can you be homophobic and a splatoon fan? how does that work? literally everyone in the game has ✨queer energy✨, thats like a huge part of the reason why it's a unique game in the first place (other parts including the unique gameplay and the heavy social commentary of the story, both of which are celebrations of queerness and also neurodiversity in their own ways)
like, if you look at their blog, they say bye to the splatoon fandom and bigcal is canon. you'd think they got driven out for shipping bigcal, but… no, you got driven out for spamming people asks with an image of callie and marie kissing, making homophobic comments, and making a new account to harass people who previously blocked you. sit DOWN.
now, there are many bad things that can be said about the splatoon fandom, most of which are not unique to splatoon. but what really got bigcal laughed out of the community is not some great failing of the internet – it's a great success story of the splatoon fandom; one trait we have in spades, moreso than any other community i've ever been a part of.
in the splatoon fandom,
we look out for our own.
if you mess with one of us, you mess with all of us. if you act like a child and harass people, then we're all going to come together and block you until you can't get away with it anymore. if you make an alt account, we'll call you out on it and ID you, and we'll make sure that all our mutuals hear about it before you can get to them.
it's not just a tumblr thing, either. on a discord server i'm in – a crossover server, in fact; not even a splatoon server – a new person joined in recent memory who had a callie pfp. i recognized it as splatoon and got a little excited – it's a fellow splatoon fan! so, i approached them, but… they didn't really react how i expected.
they acted a bit strange – they barely acknowledged me, which is weird, since splatoon fans in my experience are generally excited to see each other in the wild. another person in the server, a fellow splatoon fan, thought the same thing… and also noticed the new person seemed rather familiar, even though the account wasn't one he'd seen before.
so, he asked them if they knew each other. all of a sudden, they got super evasive and suspicious, then suddenly went offline. not a good look!
that other long-time member and i had only really had one conversation before, where i chatted with them about splatoon lore. we barely knew each other. but, when it became clear the new guy was hiding something, that other person DMed me and asked what i thought. i told him, truthfully, that i didn't recognize the new person at all, but i had a real bad gut feeling about them.
in minutes, we'd gotten in contact with a team of at least 10 other splatoon fans we knew, and all of us worked together to figure out what was up with this person based on publicly available information. the discord account on which they joined was just weeks old, and no one recognized it; it linked to a social media account, probably just to get past account verification, which was made the same day as the discord account and had zero activity.
it rapidly became clear that this was a very high-effort throwaway, created by someone who really didn't want us to know who they were, painstakingly crafted to dodge even the strictest verification algorithms while giving no information about the person behind the screen.
as it turns out, the person we were so suspicious of was a highly dangerous individual who had previously been banned from the server multiple times on multiple different accounts. this was just their latest, and most subtle, attempt to worm their way back into the server.
and they might have gotten away with it, too, if only they hadn't made one crucial mistake: they used a splatoon pfp without talking the talk, and that got the actual splatoon fans' attention.
i've never been prouder to say: don't fuck with the splatoon community. if you do, a plague upon thy house, woe upon thy relations, and shame upon thee. all hope abandon, ye who enter here; look upon our works, ye mighty, and despair.
never underestimate the power of community.

Hi! Is ellipsus worth using and is it free? I keep seeing it pop up from time to time and I’m curious
I've been using it instead of Google Docs for like six months I think. And I always have it open in my browser, or use it on my phone, daily tbh.
It's built by people who are anti-AI and pro-fandom, with fan writing in mind, actually. It's very much focused on features for collaborative writing, but I don't cowrite and still find that it does everything I need.
Notable features:
Syncing across multiple devices. I had been using Google Docs for years because a major feature I need is to be able to access my writing from multiple different devices and locations. Ellipsus does this. And has gotten better (sometimes had problem of it not syncing on my phone and then when I opened on my laptop, it wouldn't update until I opened on my phone and forced a sync; but this has happened less frequently and it mostly autosyncs)
Drafts feature. My style of writing, I just don't do drafts that need to be separated out (I don't ever change large chunks of a work that I need to save the original). I think this is helpful for collaborative work. I actually use the drafts for my Outlines and Notes, so I have a quick link right there to access them, and they're kept within the document.
Writing Interface. It's pretty simple in style, which is actually good for writing. They do have a tool bar that you can leave up or hidden, with various formatting options, and an "outline" like Google Docs does (just put a header font in there and shows up on the outline and you have a quick link to jump around)
Cafe Mode I think they officially call it "focus mode" or something but it's a little coffee cup symbol so I think of it as that. This will make just the writing interface take up your whole screen for "distraction-free" writing. I don't use this, as I've been writing in word processors forever and it doesn't bother me to have the features/menus visible.
Timer I think it has a timer you can set. Again, I don't use this.
Collaborative Writing. I don't use this feature, but it looks very similar to how Google Docs sharing works with inviting/giving access to others.
Log-In. It will remember and keep you logged in on a device, but apparently only for set amount of time (unsure how long, as it seems to have random variation). But it is annoying that you can't just log-in with a password; it sends a code to your email. (I won't get into how I am so sick of "multi-factor" verification bs).
Reliability. So far it has never been "down". I do download a backup sometimes (they have several options for quickdownload of a document and are working on more) just out of paranoia.
It's free. But I can't say whether the creators will eventually go to a subscription model or something to cover the expense of the servers and other work (could probably check the "Support" section for any discussion of it - which is also pretty active as they look to develop features users are requesting, etc.)
TL;DR It's free and I do recommend it.

Recently I booked a trip to visit my parents in a month or two. I don't particularly look forward to existing in Texas again, but my G'ma's health is declining, so I figured I probably ought to make the time. I scheduled a few days off work and found a reasonable travel package through a discount program at work.
The only affordable return flight was through Spirit Airlines. No biggie, right? I've flown Spirit before, I know how it goes. Fees for everything, and you'd better read all the fine print.
Well, it turns out that it's been a very long time since I last used Spirit, and they certainly haven't used that time to improve. The confirmation email found an old "Free Spirit" account from 2016, before I had changed my name. I double-checked the booking itself, which is correct, but the profile is wrong. All my emails from them, including itinerary updates, are addressed to the wrong name.
Retrieved the password (their website security is awful. I was able to get a temporary password sent to my email with no further verification). Went to update the profile and found a notice that you can't change your first or last name online, but rather to call their customer support number. Fine. I can do that.
I called the phone number. The first guy thought I had an issue with my reservation, then transferred me to someone from the "loyalty" department. The loyalty agent listened to my issue, and said "Okay, what you need to do is navigate to our website, click on 'Contact Us,' open a chat, and request an agent. I can't change your name on your loyalty account because I can't see your ID."
I will remind you that my job involves looking at ID submissions through a secure link that's submitted via text to force a live photo instead of uploading a saved image. The technology exists.
Anyway. The chat wouldn't work on my phone, so I opened my computer. It still wouldn't work in Firefox, so I dredged out Edge, which I keep solely for websites that insist Firefox isn't a real browser. I started a chat, despite the website having specifically told me to call. The chat agent said he would need to see my ID. I asked how I should submit that. He said, "Oh, just drop it in the chat." No special link, just an "upload" button. I took a picture on phone, emailed it to myself, saved it to my computer, and then attached that image to the chat, all the while thinking that this has got to be the least secure way to verify anyone about anything.
He said he couldn't do anything about it because they couldn't change both my first name and my last name.
I debated cancelling, because I found a more convenient Southwest flight that includes carry-ons, but the ticket has a $99 cancellation fee, which is actually more than the flight itself costs. It's sort of tempting to buy the Southwest ticket anyway (which is ALSO less than $99) and just not take the Spirit flight, but knowing Spirit's fondness for fees, they'd probably find a way to charge me anyway. Reports from reddit suggest that simply no-showing will incur a $69 fee.
I went to their website to submit a complaint. The "Submit Feedback" page just straight up does not load on Firefox. I tried it in Chrome and Edge, and there is a feedback form visible for a split second, which is immediately replaced with a link to the chat again, and a physical mailing address for written feedback.

Bullwaypro.com review Registration
When choosing a forex broker, the biggest concern is always trust. Nobody wants to deposit funds into a platform only to discover withdrawal issues, shady practices, or poor regulation. That’s why we take a deep dive into every key aspect of a broker to see whether it’s legitimate or just another name in a long list of unreliable platforms.
Today, we’re looking at Bullwaypro.com review—a forex broker that has been gaining attention in the trading community. With a high Trustpilot rating, FCA regulation, and thousands of users, it certainly has some strong points. But does it truly hold up under scrutiny?
Let’s break it down step by step and find out.
Tumblr media
Bullwaypro.com Registration Review: Quick and Easy Sign-Up Process
The registration process for Bullwaypro.com reviews is straightforward and efficient. Here’s how it works:
Locate the registration button in the upper right corner of the website.
Enter your personal data, ensuring accuracy for verification.
Wait for a manager to process the provided information.
Once verified, registration is successfully completed.
This structured approach suggests a secure onboarding process, where user information is checked before full access is granted. It’s a good sign—brokers who take verification seriously are often more reliable and compliant with financial regulations. Would you like details on the verification requirements or account setup next? ​
Bullwaypro.com – Establishment and Domain Registration Date
When assessing the legitimacy of a forex broker, one of the first things to check is whether the domain registration date aligns with the brand’s establishment date. If a broker claims to be operating for several years but its domain was only recently registered, that’s a red flag. So, how does Bullwaypro.com reviews measure up?
The company was established in 2022, and the domain bullwaypro.com review was registered on November 11, 2021. That means the domain was secured before the company officially started operating, which is a positive indicator. It suggests the brand was not hastily set up overnight but rather planned in advance.
Why is this important? Well, scam brokers often buy domains right before launching, making it easier to disappear without a trace. Bullwaypro, on the other hand, took steps ahead of time, likely to secure its brand identity and online presence early on. That’s a sign of long-term intentions, rather than a short-lived, fly-by-night operation.
This looks like a good argument in favor of legitimacy. What aspect should we analyze next?
Bullwaypro.com – Strong Regulatory Oversight
When it comes to forex trading, regulation is one of the most critical aspects that separate trusted brokers from potential scams. A regulated broker is subject to strict financial laws, regular audits, and capital requirements. So, what kind of regulatory status does Bullwaypro.com reviews have?
This broker operates under the oversight of the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority)—one of the most respected and stringent financial regulators in the world. The FCA license is not something a broker can obtain easily; it involves rigorous checks, capital requirements, and compliance with strict operational standards. Only brokers who meet transparency, security, and client protection policies receive this approval.
Why does this matter? Because FCA-regulated brokers are legally required to:
Segregate client funds from company accounts, ensuring traders' money is protected even if the broker faces financial trouble.
Follow fair trading practices, meaning no price manipulation or conflicts of interest.
Be covered by a compensation scheme, which provides an extra layer of security to traders.
We think this is a strong argument in favor of Bullwaypro’s legitimacy. Many brokers operate without regulation or under weak offshore jurisdictions—but here, we see one of the best financial regulators backing this platform.
This definitely adds trust to Bullwaypro.com reviews. What should we analyze next?
Bullwaypro.com – Client Reviews and Reputation
One of the best ways to gauge a broker’s reliability is to look at what actual traders are saying. Scammers tend to have poor ratings, few reviews, and plenty of complaints. But what about Bullwaypro.com reviews?
On Trustpilot, this broker holds an impressive score of 4.4 out of 5, based on 2,995 reviews. That’s a strong indicator of trustworthiness, especially in the forex industry, where traders are quick to leave negative feedback if something goes wrong.
Here’s why this is significant:
A score above 4.0 is already considered very high for brokers, as the industry tends to be highly competitive and filled with mixed experiences.
The sheer number of reviews (2,995) suggests a well-established platform. It’s easy for a scam broker to fake a handful of positive comments, but accumulating thousands of reviews takes consistent service over time.
Out of those, 2,869 reviews (the majority) are rated 4 or 5 stars, meaning most traders are satisfied with their experience.
This definitely looks like a solid argument for legitimacy. A broker with nearly 3,000 reviews and a high rating is unlikely to be a short-term scam. Instead, it suggests that Bullwaypro delivers on its promises and maintains a good relationship with its clients.
Tumblr media
Final Verdict: Is Bullwaypro.com review a Legitimate Broker?
After a thorough review, Bullwaypro.comreviews checks all the right boxes when it comes to trust and reliability. The broker is not just another name in the forex industry—it has strong regulatory oversight, positive user feedback, and a well-structured platform. Here’s why we think traders can confidently consider this broker:
✅ Regulation by FCA – One of the most trusted financial regulators, ensuring transparency, security, and fair trading conditions. ✅ Established Track Record – The domain was registered before the company officially launched, showing proper planning and long-term intent. ✅ Excellent User Reviews – With a 4.4 Trustpilot rating and nearly 3,000 reviews, traders are overwhelmingly satisfied with the platform. ✅ Secure Deposits & Fast Withdrawals – No hidden fees, instant processing for most transactions, and reliable payment methods. ✅ User-Friendly Trading Conditions – Multiple account types, fair leverage, and a widely used trading platform. ✅ Accessible Customer Support – Various contact options make it easy for traders to get assistance when needed.
With all these factors in mind, Bullwaypro.com review stands out as a legitimate and well-regulated broker. The combination of FCA oversight, positive reviews, and a transparent operational model makes it a solid choice for both beginner and experienced traders.
Of course, every trader should do their own research and choose a broker that fits their needs, but based on the evidence, Bullwaypro.com reviews appears to be a trustworthy option in the forex market.

Windealagency.com review – Register
Tumblr media
When choosing a broker, traders need to consider multiple factors: regulation, reputation, trading conditions, and security measures. With so many platforms out there, it's essential to separate trustworthy brokers from those that might pose a risk.
Today, we take a close look at windealagency.com review to determine whether it meets the standards of a legitimate and reliable forex broker. We’ll analyze key aspects such as its regulation, user reviews, trading conditions, deposit and withdrawal policies, and customer support.
The goal? To see if windealagency.com reviews is truly a broker traders can trust. Let’s dive in!
How to Register on windealagency.com: A Step-by-Step Guide
Registering on windealagency.com reviews is a straightforward process, but it’s crucial to follow each step correctly. Here's how to do it:
Step 1: Access the Website and Click "Create Account"
On the homepage, locate the "Create Account" button in the upper right corner and click on it to begin registration.
Step 2: Fill in the Registration Form
Enter the required details: ✔ Full Name – Use your real name for verification. ✔ Email Address – A confirmation link will be sent here. ✔ Password – Choose a strong password for security.
Step 3: Confirm Your Email
Check your inbox for a verification email and click the link to activate your account. Without this step, your account won’t be fully functional.
Step 4: Log In and Set Up Your Profile
After verification, log in using your credentials. You may need to complete additional details, such as selecting an account type (demo or real) and linking a payment method.
Step 5: Identity Verification (KYC)
For security and compliance reasons, the broker may require: 📌 Passport/ID scan to verify identity. 📌 Proof of address (utility bill or bank statement). 📌 Selfie with ID (sometimes required). Verification usually takes a few hours to 48 hours.
Step 6: Deposit Funds and Start Trading
To trade on a real account, you need to make a deposit using bank cards, e-wallets, or cryptocurrencies. Once funded, you can access all platform features.
Establishment Date of windealagency.com
One of the key indicators of a broker's legitimacy is the relationship between the brand's establishment date and the domain registration date. If a broker truly operates transparently, its domain should not be younger than its claimed establishment date.
In the case of windealagency.com review, we see that: ✔ The brand was established in 2021✔ The domain was registered on November 19, 2020
This alignment is a strong sign of credibility. Why? Because many fraudulent brokers register domains after claiming to be in business for years. Here, the domain was secured before the company officially started operations, indicating a well-planned and legitimate business launch rather than a rushed setup.
Would a scam broker invest in securing its domain before launching? Unlikely. This suggests windealagency.com reviews is built for long-term operations rather than quick fraud.
Windealagency.com License & Regulation
A broker’s license is one of the strongest indicators of its legitimacy. Without proper regulation, a platform can operate unchecked, making it risky for traders. So, does windealagency.com review hold a solid regulatory status?
✔ Regulated by the FCA (Financial Conduct Authority)✔ License type: High Authority
The FCA is one of the most strict and reputable financial regulators globally. Brokers under the FCA must comply with capital requirements, transparency policies, and client fund protection rules. This means traders on windealagency.com reviews are safeguarded against unfair practices.
Would a fraudulent broker choose an FCA license? Highly unlikely. The FCA doesn’t hand out licenses easily, and companies must meet ongoing requirements to maintain them. This strongly suggests that windealagency.com reviews is a legitimate and well-regulated broker.
Trading Hours on windealagency.com
Understanding trading hours is crucial for traders, as different market sessions provide unique opportunities. windealagency.com reviews follows the global forex market schedule, ensuring traders can access the markets at the right times.
Here’s the breakdown of the trading sessions:
📌 Winter Session:
Australia: 8 PM – 5 AM

On ceasefire negotiations related to how Israel-Hamas is operating. Israel demanded to know how many hostages remain and who is alive, and apparently Hamas is refusing to provide the names and count. Is this a normal thing to argue over and is it normal for a country to sacrifice military campaigns for a comparatively small number of civilians? For example would the United States act similarly if it were in Israel's situation? Would another Western country?
This is actually something I can talk a great deal about, because it deals with negotiations, game theory, and applying economic concepts to non-economic subjects. This will be pretty clinically heartless, so I'm going to throw a cut down.
A hostage negotiation is, at its core, taking prisoners to extract some form of compensation for their safe return. The hostage taker wants something, and trades in human lives to get it. This can be money (ransom), an exchange of prisoners (a prisoner swap), or to exert pressure to enact political change (terrorism). The negotiation is largely an argument over price - how much is it worth to return the hostages safely. We'll get back to this in a bit.
It is typically standard practice to declare the name, number, and status of hostages for a few reasons. One is verification, to prove that the organization has the hostages in question. The second is to establish good faith that the negotiations can be conducted, that the hostages won't be immediately executed. If there is no good faith, the other side does not negotiate and instead attempts rescue (or in Russia's case, just mows them down indiscriminately). That's the same reason why hostage takers can release hostages as a show of good faith that further negotiations are fruitful.
At the end of the day, a hostage negotiation is an argument over the price of the hostages' lives. In any negotiation, information asymmetry is the name of the day, and the more advantages you have in that category, the better price you can command. Hamas is incentivized not to declare the name and status of the hostages for both benign (relatively) and malign reasons. By refusing to name the number and status of the hostages, it forces uncertainty into the Israeli negotiations. If Israel doesn't know how many hostages it's "buying" then it's liable to offer more than Hamas is willing to settle for, which makes Hamas come out ahead in the exchange. If Israel offers too low an amount, Hamas can simply demand more - there are no downsides unless Israel refuses to negotiate.
Of course, the malign reason is that the hostages are not in the best shape - they're either the victims of torture or are already dead. In this case, Hamas is disguising the status to up the price of the negotiations. Typically, negotiators don't pay for dead hostages, so in the event you have dead hostages, it's advantageous to disguise that status to extract something for them (typically money because once you have it in your hand, it's tough to go backsies). It's not good business in the long run, because no one does business with you again, but Hamas likely doesn't believe it's going to be in a position to negotiate again so that threat is less prescient. Similarly, Hamas likely believes it's insulated from the inevitable blowback that it would bring. Support for Hamas, either from their Iranian backers or Western groups, doesn't typically go down even in response to perfidy, torture, or other crimes. So in that sense, being a habitual bad-faith actor doesn't hold the same animus - they're still going to enjoy support from their backers regardless of what they do, which are prime conditions for reinforcing bad behavior. It's similar in Israel, where the Netanyahu government largely doesn't care about foreign political pressure - their reaction typically to international condemnation is to close ranks and accuse their critics of wanting them dead, or at least not caring whether they live or die.
Typically, governments don't like to negotiate ransoms for hostage taking for the all-too-logical reason, it incentivizes other hostage taking attempts. Private citizens often pay ransoms because for them, it is a singular iteration of game theory - there typically isn't a second instance of hostage taking unless the individual is quite unlucky. Governments however, frequently interact with terror groups and are thus less likely to negotiate directly save in the event that the hostage in question is extremely important.
In that sense, hostage taking is usually an attempt to force private citizens to enact domestic pressure on a government, not to pressure the government directly. In the sense of the United States or any other Western countries, this is more effective than in autocracies such as Russia or China, which both are relatively resistant to domestic criticism and are more willing to accept civilian casualties. So to answer your question of what would the United States or another Western nation do, the answer is "it depends on the willingness of the public to place domestic pressure on the government to free the hostages versus their desire to punish the perpetrators."
Thanks for the question, Cle-Guy.

some sillies! i started this tiny comic i think? several months ago? computer file says Nov 29, 2023 but i can't entirely trust it. damn. time sure does always flies tho :'0
ANYWAYS, YOUR WORLD OF YESTERDAY LORE TIME!
CONTEXT: It takes place during Silver's future, as majority of the story does. At this point in the story, both were just beginning to get along with one another, starting to slowly get over their skepticism of the other not posing a threat to them.
This specific comic was about a conversation between Silver and Metal regarding Metal's disappearance for the last 200 years and, Silver's fruitless search for him for death "verification" purposes. Somehow, this further fuels Metal's centuries long cynicism towards people that are constantly expecting the worst of him, sardonically calling Silver's search of him, "typical little boy hero stuff."
I'm not sure how it continues, but I know it would've ended with Metal solemnly rewinding his memories of the last 200 years. Most of it is watching the endless passing of the seasons, of life around him going and leaving. At some point, there's a flicker of light before the starry darkness of space welcomes him. The last image they see is off Shadow sadly smiling at Metal and then Metal abruptly ends the memory sequence. After this Silver would ask if that was all he was doing these past 200 hundred years, and Metal only answers him with complete silence.
Turns out, it wasn't. He only showed him a few decades. But it can be inferred that the reason Silver wasn't able to find Metal on Earth was because he was in ✧・゚space・゚✧.
I couldn't finish this comic after leaving it to collect dust for months, a lack of foresight really. I didn't write down the remaining dialogue script swimming in my head at the time, wrongly believing I was gonna finish it at the moment :'(... But writing about it here made me refresh my memory, so that's good :D!

What are your thoughts on the Coase theorem?
Hold on...
Coase developed his theorem when considering the regulation of radio frequencies. Competing radio stations could use the same frequencies and would therefore interfere with each other's broadcasts. The problem faced by regulators was how to eliminate interference and allocate frequencies to radio stations efficiently. What Coase proposed in 1959[2] was that as long as property rights in these frequencies were well defined, it ultimately did not matter if adjacent radio stations interfered with each other by broadcasting in the same frequency band. Furthermore, it did not matter to whom the property rights were granted. His reasoning was that the station able to reap the higher economic gain from broadcasting would have an incentive to pay the other station not to interfere. In the absence of transaction costs, both stations would strike a mutually advantageous deal. It would not matter which station had the initial right to broadcast; eventually, the right to broadcast would end up with the party that was able to put it to the most highly valued use. Of course, the parties themselves would care who was granted the rights initially because this allocation would impact their wealth, but the result of who broadcasts would not change because the parties would trade to the outcome that was overall most efficient. This counterintuitive insight—that the initial imposition of legal entitlement is irrelevant because the parties will eventually reach the same result—is Coase's invariance thesis.
OK, sure, assuming that the wealth from the initial allocation of property rights does not alter subsequent performance, then if Radio Broadcaster A does a regular performance worth $100,000, and Radio Broadcaster B does a regular performance worth $10,000, then we would expect Radio Broadcaster A to just buy the rights from Radio Broadcaster B, assuming that B is willing to sell.
But-
Coase's main point, clarified in his article 'The Problem of Social Cost[1],' published in 1960 and cited when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1991, was that transaction costs, however, could not be neglected, and therefore, the initial allocation of property rights often mattered.
Ok, yeah.
Transaction costs are everywhere, and initial wealth allocations may have significant effects on production efficiency (e.g. from economies of scale, or a firm's ability to hire talent) resulting in path dependence. At the same time, a lot of economics is about rates (such as the rate at which a house breaks down), so we can still expect a flow of property rights depending on thresholds.
I would say that transaction costs are not uniform.
We should expect a "Coasean correction" to be more likely when transaction costs are a small percentage of the transaction, and less likely when transaction costs are a large percentage of the transaction.
Let's setup another scenario.
There is a town where the shipping cost of importing cheese is $1/lb. The outside market price for cheese is $2/lb. As such, imported cheese costs a total of $3/lb. The city offers a monopoly on local cheese-making to 3 firms: { A: $10 -> 1 lb, B: $2.50 -> 1 lb, C: $2.19 -> 1 lb }.
Firm A is much more likely to sell off the cheesemaking rights than either firm B or firm C, because it can't sell at the local market price ($3/lb). Because the difference in profit margins between B and C is smaller, the movement from B to C is more likely to be subject to other considerations rather than just cheesemaking efficiency, such as capital costs, verification costs, profits or risks compared to other industries, and so on.
We could imagine, for example, that the town has a tiny market where only 12 lbs of cheese is sold annually, so the difference is only $3.72. Would it take longer than 15 minutes to decide to enter the market? Alternatively, we could imagine that cheesemaking is a very capital-intensive industry, so it's not worth firm C building an entire second factory to compete after firm B builds the first one.
Another, more refined, normative conclusion also often discussed in law and economics is that government should create institutions that minimize transaction costs, so as to allow misallocations of resources to be corrected as cheaply as possible.
Government can increase production by reducing friction, certainly. Acting as an external (and more neutral) enforcer for property rights is actually one of the chief ways that they do so.
Overall, I would say that this argument feels more like it's meant to be deployed against people who argue that "we shouldn't establish property rights to the radio spectrum," because "the initial allocation is too difficult to determine and won't be perfect."
In his later writings, Coase himself expressed frustration that his theorem was often misunderstood. Some mistakenly understood the theorem to mean that markets would always achieve efficient results when transaction costs were low, when in reality his point was almost the exact opposite: because transaction costs are never zero, it cannot be assumed that any institutional arrangement will necessarily be efficient. Others have argued that because transaction costs are never zero it is always appropriate for a government to intervene and regulate, though Coase believed that economists and politicians "tended to over-estimate the advantages which come from governmental regulation."[9] What Coase actually argued is, that it is important to always compare alternative institutional arrangements to see which would come closest to "the unattainable ideal of the world of zero transaction costs."[10]
Uh-huh. "Guys, please stop flattening my theory."
