the story has no real reason to take us to veritas prime but i hope it does solely because it would be funny if everyone, characters in-universe included, assumes ratio's clothing is indicative of the style of his homeworld, but when we get there it turns out everyone wears togas.

and ONLY togas.

ratio's skimpy black underlayer is comparatively covered up like a Victorian widow in mourning. the boob window is actually stuffy and conservative, everyone else is running around with at least one tit fully out at all times. they think he's the weird one for wearing pants. it would serve no narrative purpose whatsoever but it would entertain me greatly

#what can i say i love me a good low-stakes subversion of expectations. especially if it's retroactive. comedy gold ✨#it's why i also hc ratio's family as boring normies with no particular tradition in academia #bc it's funniest to me personally if he's (and PLEASE forgive the comparison) the sheldon cooper of his family #the rest of them are Just Some Guys. he's the only lil freak graduating uni at age 15 wearing sweater vests & pocket protectors #it's not that his family or even veritas prime embodies the akademia of classical antiquity it's just him. he's just Like That #hsr #hsr meta #ratio #(this is barely meta but that's my tag for it lol)
