Something a little different for inspo :)
One of the things about Earth that's hardest for the native Pegasans to wrap their heads around is the extreme diversity of cultures all located on one planet.
It's something the Earth contingent take for granted, leading to things like Ronon, after three months on the team, randomly asking what it was that the little rectangles John and Rodney wear meant. For Pegasans, cultural differences happen between planets, not between people from the same world.
The expedition is diverse, though, growing more so with the years as different countries angle to have their own best and brightest take part in the cutting edge of research, so Atlantis parties end up being something of a melting pot, with snacks from Japan and Italy, drinks from Germany and Russia, music from Mexico and France, and--on one very ill-fated occassion in the first year that no one talks about--party games from Brazil.
Teyla ends up with a mix CD from one of the geologists in charge of the party music (who's harboring a massive crush on her), and Ronon has a stereo that she uses to play it, and that's how they've gotten where they are: Teyla and Ronon fluently and blithely singing through an entire Mexican rap song in the back of the puddlejumper.
"What the hell are you two singing?" Rodney asks, after the third round of the half-shouted chorus.
"Do you not know this one?" Teyla asks, head tilted in genuine concern.
"It's an Earth song," Ronon says (the "duh" is implicit in his body language and tone, something else from Earth he's picked up).
"I don't even know what language it is," Rodney complains, ignoring John's mumbled It's Spanish, McKay, because he's certain John doesn't know the song either; he'd've been singing along if he did.
"Perhaps the two of you are not...hip with the times," Teyla offers.
When they pass through Atlantis's gate, Rodney's still defending himself from accusations of un-hipness.

every time ever i see a post about how wildworks "abandoned" ajc on purpose because theyre Evil and Money Hungry i see red. the devs literally had active plans for ajc before flash died AND STILL DO... come on.
AND ON THAT NOTE... people who wholeheartedly believe wildworks killed fer.al because they hate us and want us to die and had sooo much fun making nfts using your precious avatars. like Jammer the whole entire reason cinder happened was because feral was failing and wasnt making money. i understand like none of us are game devs but you could at least open google and look for any the several developer interviews or business articles or straight up Anything besides crying about your nostalgia being killed by the malicious Corn Stacey.
anyways whos hyped for upcoming AJ interview :-]

I feel like every time I drive at night there’s someone driving with their high beams on. And I’m not even talking about headlights that are bright LEDs, I mean actual high beams. Either someone driving at me and blinding me, or someone driving behind me and retina blasting me via mirror reflection and lighting up my whole car cabin, making it hard to see the road in front of me.
And don’t even get me started on the number of people driving with their headlights off because they think their Daytime Running Lights on and they think it’s enough? But then their tail lights aren’t on and you almost run into them because they’re driving a black car.
I’m starting to believe that it’s a detriment to society that we allow people to “learn” to drive from their parents. Like if their parents are shit drivers and don’t know about cars and don’t explain how to use their cars, we perpetuate the problem. Genuinely starting to think we should move towards driving schools like Japan in order to get a license, not just memorizing road signs and then being released onto the road.
“I failed my permit test 5 times and my driving test 3 times before getting my license hehe” you should not be driving. Honestly.
And I understand this also leads to discussions of public transit (more people who don’t like driving and don’t want to should have the option of a robust and reliable network of bus and rail) and privilege (driving schools cost money, not everyone has parents who can teach them) but like … that’s for another post.
