💔ꜰ!𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧

✮ They're definitely NOT a morning person 🥱 (which makes early practice/performances rough™ )

✮ They had top-surgery (𝘥𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯) & officially changed their legal name to “𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞” when they were 𝟸𝟸 🏳️‍⚧️

✮ Their MAIN goal is to share their art with the world; fame & money are just a nice bonus to them 💸

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 has a 𝟼-year-old rescue cat named “𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞” 💕🐈 (they adopted her AFTER their breakup)

✮ They were quite timid in high school (they hid in the bathroom during their 𝟷ˢᵗ high school party 😵‍💫); being in the band helped build up their confidence 😎 (+ taught them to stop being self-conscious about their looks)

✮ It's difficult to anger 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞, they have “thick skin” & prefer to resolve issues with calm words 😌 (+ processing/expressing their “anger” through WRITING songs); like any other person they DO have a limit, though, & once it's reached they DON'T HOLD ANYTHING BACK 🤬

✮ Their parents' general absence in their life has left them feeling nothing but resentment towards them 😒 (their mom & dad are genuinely the ONLY people who can easily get a rise out of them), so they moved out at 𝟷𝟾; living on their own in a rented apartment (initially with the support of 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 & her mum)

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 tried to keep 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 IN the band (they voted to keep their vocals a duet & even begged the others to apologize to 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 after she stormed out)... but the band IS a democracy & majority rules (+ they were scared of pushing too far & having the others leave them the band 🥲)

✮ Their tattoos incorporate/are on the parts of their arms & legs that lost pigment; so it looks like they're peeking out from under their pigmented skin (their 𝟷ˢᵗ tattoo was the matching set with 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧: 𝕊𝔻... they always keep it hidden), the most recent tattoo they've gotten is of 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙠𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙮'𝙨 𝘭𝘰𝘨𝘰 🍒

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 has never been good at accepting compliments/praise, it always leaves them flustered & embarrassed 🫣

✮ When faced with 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧'𝐬 ire they used to revert to a passive disposition 🫠 (always going along with whatever SHE wanted & apologizing even when SHE was the one in the wrong); after the breakup, & almost dying, they've decided to treat 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 the same way they do their parents 😤 (“do not harm, but take no shit”)

✮ Initially, 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 wanted to support 𝗦𝗼𝗳𝘁 𝗩𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲... but after reviewing the lyrics of their more “popular” songs, 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 decided to block anything that had to do the band (they were already in a VERY dark place emotionally 🥲🫀)

✮ Due to their vitiligo, portions of their hair, eyelashes, & eyebrows have 𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘪𝘨𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 & turned grey/white 🤍👁🤍

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 wears prescription 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘴 while performing & 𝘨𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴 when they're at home/relaxing 🤓 (their 𝘷𝘪𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦𝘴 are directly related to their vitiligo)

✮ They tend to get carried away by their emotions when signing, performing as if they're baring their whole soul to the audience (performing is really the ONLY time they're completely open & allow themselves to express any pent-up “volatile” emotions) 🗯️

✮ Post-breakup 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 impulsively 𝘤𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳 ✂️ (it used to reach their 𝘮𝘪𝘥-𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬)... most of the pics on their “personal” 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 are pre-breakup (they took a social media break shortly after 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 left them the band), so all their selfies & candid pictures show them with long hair still 📸

✮ Only a select few people get to see what's written inside of their songwriting journal(s), they're especially protective of the journal they wrote in during their “post-breakup” hospital stay (there are A LOT of dark thoughts locked in there, most of which will NEVER see the light of day in a publicly-released song) 📓

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 no longer drinks alcohol after going through a period of alcohol abuse & binge drinking that causes them to be hospitalized due to almost fatal alcohol poisoning 😵 (the binge happened after they saw a social media post of 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 publicly dating someone new)... after recovering they've become the “designated driver” of their friend group 🚙💨

✮ When they saw 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 at the 𝗕𝗢𝗧𝗕 afterparty (after seeing her at their audition) they almost caved to their drinking urge, but decided that abandoning the party—in favor of going to the diner —was a far better alternative than breaking their year-long sobriety 🚱

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 enjoys spending most of their free time gaming 🎮 (they even have a whole PC setup at their apartment)

✮ They are NOT a fan of parties, they'd prefer to hang out with close friends somewhere they're already familiar with (the only “good parties” are ones they're performing at 🎤😉)

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 is able to play just enough piano (& use electronic “music softwear”) to record raw demos of their songs before handing it over to the other band members & letting them freely make edits 🎹

✮ They're NOT shy when it comes to flirting with someone they find attractive 😘, though they'll only overtly do so AFTER the other person has shown they're interested

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞'𝐬 on-stage persona & off-stage personality are polar opposites: they're content to just blend into the background when they're not performing (they very much lean towards being an introvert 😓)

✮ Because of their early childhood isolation & emotional neglect, they find it difficult to set/understand boundaries when entering new interpersonal relationships 🤔

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 always wondered what it would've been like to not be an only child, & though NEVER tell him their relationship with 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧 is what they hoped having an older sibling would've been like 🥺❤️‍🩹

✮ They HATE peanuts 🥜 (not because of allergies or anything... they simply find their taste/texture disgusting)

✮ 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 can definitely be described as a perfectionist, at least when it come to their music (they stay up late the night before performances & often end up involuntarily napping just minutes before going onstage 😬)

✮ Whenever 𝐒𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 is brought up by anyone who ISN'T in their close circle (i.e., media/fans/other artists/etc...) they speak in a professionally detached manner (it's easier to spit out a script... no need to expose their deeply buried emotions 😮‍💨)

✮ Despite everything, a tiny part of 𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 wishes that their parents were proud of them & everything they've accomplished (unfortunately, everything they're proud of just makes them an “embarrassment” to their parents 😕)

✮ Out of everyone in the band they're the best choice (sans 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐧) when it comes to dealing with interviews & media personnel 🫡 (their professionalism helps create a strong barrier against unfounded rumors/gossip)

✮ 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗿𝘆 WON the week𝟷 challenge 🥹🏆(hopefully the target on the band doesn't get too much bigger 😬)

✮ ...

𝐄𝐜𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐬𝐞 means “𝘊𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵; 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘶𝘯 & 𝘮𝘰𝘰𝘯 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘦𝘥” (Old French) 𝐕𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨 means “𝘓𝘪𝘧𝘦” (Italian)

Tesla's Dieselgate

Elon Musk lies a lot. He lies about being a “utopian socialist.” He lies about being a “free speech absolutist.” He lies about which companies he founded:

https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cofounder-martin-eberhard-interview-history-elon-musk-ev-market-2023-2 He lies about being the “chief engineer” of those companies:

https://www.quora.com/Was-Elon-Musk-the-actual-engineer-behind-SpaceX-and-Tesla

He lies about really stupid stuff, like claiming that comsats that share the same spectrum will deliver steady broadband speeds as they add more users who each get a narrower slice of that spectrum:

https://www.eff.org/wp/case-fiber-home-today-why-fiber-superior-medium-21st-century-broadband

The fundamental laws of physics don’t care about this bullshit, but people do. The comsat lie convinced a bunch of people that pulling fiber to all our homes is literally impossible — as though the electrical and phone lines that come to our homes now were installed by an ancient, lost civilization. Pulling new cabling isn’t a mysterious art, like embalming pharaohs. We do it all the time. One of the poorest places in America installed universal fiber with a mule named “Ole Bub”:

https://www.newyorker.com/tech/annals-of-technology/the-one-traffic-light-town-with-some-of-the-fastest-internet-in-the-us

Previous tech barons had “reality distortion fields,” but Musk just blithely contradicts himself and pretends he isn’t doing so, like a budget Steve Jobs. There’s an entire site devoted to cataloging Musk’s public lies:

https://elonmusk.today/

But while Musk lacks the charm of earlier Silicon Valley grifters, he’s much better than they ever were at running a long con. For years, he’s been promising “full self driving…next year.”

https://pluralistic.net/2022/10/09/herbies-revenge/#100-billion-here-100-billion-there-pretty-soon-youre-talking-real-money

He’s hasn’t delivered, but he keeps claiming he has, making Teslas some of the deadliest cars on the road:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2023/06/10/tesla-autopilot-crashes-elon-musk/

Tesla is a giant shell-game masquerading as a car company. The important thing about Tesla isn’t its cars, it’s Tesla’s business arrangement, the Tesla-Financial Complex:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/11/24/no-puedo-pagar-no-pagara/#Rat

Once you start unpacking Tesla’s balance sheets, you start to realize how much the company depends on government subsidies and tax-breaks, combined with selling carbon credits that make huge, planet-destroying SUVs possible, under the pretense that this is somehow good for the environment:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/04/14/for-sale-green-indulgences/#killer-analogy

But even with all those financial shenanigans, Tesla’s got an absurdly high valuation, soaring at times to 1600x its profitability:

https://pluralistic.net/2021/01/15/hoover-calling/#intangibles

That valuation represents a bet on Tesla’s ability to extract ever-higher rents from its customers. Take Tesla’s batteries: you pay for the battery when you buy your car, but you don’t own that battery. You have to rent the right to use its full capacity, with Tesla reserving the right to reduce how far you go on a charge based on your willingness to pay:

https://memex.craphound.com/2017/09/10/teslas-demon-haunted-cars-in-irmas-path-get-a-temporary-battery-life-boost/

That’s just one of the many rent-a-features that Tesla drivers have to shell out for. You don’t own your car at all: when you sell it as a used vehicle, Tesla strips out these features you paid for and makes the next driver pay again, reducing the value of your used car and transfering it to Tesla’s shareholders:

https://www.theverge.com/2020/2/6/21127243/tesla-model-s-autopilot-disabled-remotely-used-car-update

To maintain this rent-extraction racket, Tesla uses DRM that makes it a felony to alter your own car’s software without Tesla’s permission. This is the root of all autoenshittification:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/24/rent-to-pwn/#kitt-is-a-demon

This is technofeudalism. Whereas capitalists seek profits (income from selling things), feudalists seek rents (income from owning the things other people use). If Telsa were a capitalist enterprise, then entrepreneurs could enter the market and sell mods that let you unlock the functionality in your own car:

https://pluralistic.net/2020/06/11/1-in-3/#boost-50

But because Tesla is a feudal enterprise, capitalists must first secure permission from the fief, Elon Musk, who decides which companies are allowed to compete with him, and how.

Once a company owns the right to decide which software you can run, there’s no limit to the ways it can extract rent from you. Blocking you from changing your device’s software lets a company run overt scams on you. For example, they can block you from getting your car independently repaired with third-party parts.

But they can also screw you in sneaky ways. Once a device has DRM on it, Section 1201 of the DMCA makes it a felony to bypass that DRM, even for legitimate purposes. That means that your DRM-locked device can spy on you, and because no one is allowed to explore how that surveillance works, the manufacturer can be incredibly sloppy with all the personal info they gather:

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/03/29/tesla-model-3-keeps-data-like-crash-videos-location-phone-contacts.html

All kinds of hidden anti-features can lurk in your DRM-locked car, protected from discovery, analysis and criticism by the illegality of bypassing the DRM. For example, Teslas have a hidden feature that lets them lock out their owners and summon a repo man to drive them away if you have a dispute about a late payment:

https://tiremeetsroad.com/2021/03/18/tesla-allegedly-remotely-unlocks-model-3-owners-car-uses-smart-summon-to-help-repo-agent/

DRM is a gun on the mantlepiece in Act I, and by Act III, it goes off, revealing some kind of ugly and often dangerous scam. Remember Dieselgate? Volkswagen created a line of demon-haunted cars: if they thought they were being scrutinized (by regulators measuring their emissions), they switched into a mode that traded performance for low emissions. But when they believed themselves to be unobserved, they reversed this, emitting deadly levels of NOX but delivering superior mileage.

The conversion of the VW diesel fleet into mobile gas-chambers wouldn’t have been possible without DRM. DRM adds a layer of serious criminal jeopardy to anyone attempting to reverse-engineer and study any device, from a phone to a car. DRM let Apple claim to be a champion of its users’ privacy even as it spied on them from asshole to appetite:

https://pluralistic.net/2022/11/14/luxury-surveillance/#liar-liar

Now, Tesla is having its own Dieselgate scandal. A stunning investigation by Steve Stecklow and Norihiko Shirouzu for Reuters reveals how Tesla was able to create its own demon-haunted car, which systematically deceived drivers about its driving range, and the increasingly desperate measures the company turned to as customers discovered the ruse:

https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/tesla-batteries-range/

The root of the deception is very simple: Tesla mis-sells its cars by falsely claiming ranges that those cars can’t attain. Every person who ever bought a Tesla was defrauded.

But this fraud would be easy to detect. If you bought a Tesla rated for 353 miles on a charge, but the dashboard range predictor told you that your fully charged car could only go 150 miles, you’d immediately figure something was up. So your Telsa tells another lie: the range predictor tells you that you can go 353 miles.

But again, if the car continued to tell you it has 203 miles of range when it was about to run out of charge, you’d figure something was up pretty quick — like, the first time your car ran out of battery while the dashboard cheerily informed you that you had 203 miles of range left.

So Teslas tell a third lie: when the battery charge reached about 50%, the fake range is replaced with the real one. That way, drivers aren’t getting mass-stranded by the roadside, and the scam can continue.

But there’s a new problem: drivers whose cars are rated for 353 miles but can’t go anything like that far on a full charge naturally assume that something is wrong with their cars, so they start calling Tesla service and asking to have the car checked over.

This creates a problem for Tesla: those service calls can cost the company $1,000, and of course, there’s nothing wrong with the car. It’s performing exactly as designed. So Tesla created its boldest fraud yet: a boiler-room full of anti-salespeople charged with convincing people that their cars weren’t broken.

This new unit — the “diversion team” — was headquartered in a Nevada satellite office, which was equipped with a metal xylophone that would be rung in triumph every time a Tesla owner was successfully conned into thinking that their car wasn’t defrauding them.

When a Tesla owner called this boiler room, the diverter would run remote diagnostics on their car, then pronounce it fine, and chide the driver for having energy-hungry driving habits (shades of Steve Jobs’s “You’re holding it wrong”):

https://www.wired.com/2010/06/iphone-4-holding-it-wrong/

The drivers who called the Diversion Team weren’t just lied to, they were also punished. The Tesla app was silently altered so that anyone who filed a complaint about their car’s range was no longer able to book a service appointment for any reason. If their car malfunctioned, they’d have to request a callback, which could take several days.

Meanwhile, the diverters on the diversion team were instructed not to inform drivers if the remote diagnostics they performed detected any other defects in the cars.

The diversion team had a 750 complaint/week quota: to juke this stat, diverters would close the case for any driver who failed to answer the phone when they were eventually called back. The center received 2,000+ calls every week. Diverters were ordered to keep calls to five minutes or less.

Eventually, diverters were ordered to cease performing any remote diagnostics on drivers’ cars: a source told Reuters that “Thousands of customers were told there is nothing wrong with their car” without any diagnostics being performed.

Predicting EV range is an inexact science as many factors can affect battery life, notably whether a journey is uphill or downhill. Every EV automaker has to come up with a figure that represents some kind of best guess under a mix of conditions. But while other manufacturers err on the side of caution, Tesla has the most inaccurate mileage estimates in the industry, double the industry average.

Other countries’ regulators have taken note. In Korea, Tesla was fined millions and Elon Musk was personally required to state that he had deceived Tesla buyers. The Korean regulator found that the true range of Teslas under normal winter conditions was less than half of the claimed range.

Now, many companies have been run by malignant narcissists who lied compulsively — think of Thomas Edison, archnemesis of Nikola Tesla himself. The difference here isn’t merely that Musk is a deeply unfit monster of a human being — but rather, that DRM allows him to defraud his customers behind a state-enforced opaque veil. The digital computers at the heart of a Tesla aren’t just demons haunting the car, changing its performance based on whether it believes it is being observed — they also allow Musk to invoke the power of the US government to felonize anyone who tries to peer into the black box where he commits his frauds.

If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/07/28/edison-not-tesla/#demon-haunted-world

This Sunday (July 30) at 1530h, I’m appearing on a panel at Midsummer Scream in Long Beach, CA, to discuss the wonderful, award-winning “Ghost Post” Haunted Mansion project I worked on for Disney Imagineering.

Image ID [A scene out of an 11th century tome on demon-summoning called 'Compendium rarissimum totius Artis Magicae sistematisatae per celeberrimos Artis hujus Magistros. Anno 1057. Noli me tangere.' It depicts a demon tormenting two unlucky would-be demon-summoners who have dug up a grave in a graveyard. One summoner is held aloft by his hair, screaming; the other screams from inside the grave he is digging up. The scene has been altered to remove the demon's prominent, urinating penis, to add in a Tesla supercharger, and a red Tesla Model S nosing into the scene.]

NO IDEA ☆ l.dh

pairing: loser!donghyuck x fem!reader

no idea synopsis: a story where both you and lee donghyuck seem to get what you want. he's the perfect pawn in making your ex-boyfriend jealous and the smarty pants tutor helping you pass your math class. donghyuck has it easy too, he's finally able to seek out and experience the world of dating through you, his long-devoted crush and surprisingly enthusiastic tutoring student. but then again, when meaningless tutoring sessions soon evolve into reciprocated feelings, is it really that easy?

genre: college au, nonidol au, fake dating au, social media au (includes written chapters), classmates to friends to lovers, he's a nerd & she's a popular cheerleader (you see where this is going), he fell first but she fell harder trope, kinda based off to all the boys i've loved before, fluff, crack/humor, angst, one-sided pining that turns into mutual pining

warnings: explicit language, unrealistic college partying, talks about family issues (this does NOT reflect any of the idol's families!), yuqi has an ex gf, some alcohol consumption, kys and sexual humor, bullying, hyuck and his buds are mistreated ☹️, hyunjin is a bad bf!!!, cheesy af, unrequited love, bad insults that sound like they're from the 2000s

no idea playlist: btr's no idea, taylor swift's you belong with me, the vamps + demi lovato's somebody to you, james arthur's can i be him, ariana grande's daydreamin, fitz & the tantrums' out of my league, shawn mendes' treat you better, bruno mars' just the way you are, lonely god's marlboro nights, the 1975's i'm in love with you, sam smith's like i can, arctic monkeys' wanna be yours

author's note: FIRST HYUCK SMAUU! how we feeling 😏 i needed to get this idea out of my system! plus, i love this type of trope, and haechan just fits the nerdy role 😭 I HAD TO! but happy reading :D <3

PAIRING ⇝ NA JAEMIN X FEM!READER

“Say you can't sleep, baby, I know That's that me, espresso”

GENRE ⇝ Comedy, Fluff, coffee shop au, college au, strangers to lovers, slight angst (maybe)

EXTRAS ⇝ profanity (lots of it actually), sexual jokes, kys/kms jokes, lgbt jokes (yes im lgbt), jaemin is down BAD, maybe a bit unrealistic but this is just for fun, my first ever smau ever please bare with me, crack writing lowkey, ignore time stamps they’re probably super off cause i cba to make them specific

SUMMARY ⇝

Overworked at her understaffed job Y/N finds it hard to enjoy this summer vacation even with the school semester having ended. It doesn’t help that it seems nobody is interested in working at a little coffee shop even if it’s just for the summer. That is until fate brings Jaemin into the picture who happens to be desperate for a job and love. Let’s just hope this time around he can actually keep it.

or, the one where jaemin needs a damn job and Y/N needs a damn break.
