tier list of international radiotelephony spelling alphabet letters by how well they work as personal names
S - hell yeah
Echo - shades of Greek mythology, interesting and distinct while also being an actual name that some people have
November - @postoctobrist is the reason why I am making this list
Sierra - from the Spanish for "mountain range", falls under the same distinct-but-reasonable category as Echo
A - perfectly reasonable names
Charlie
India
Juliet*
Oscar
Romeo*
Victor
*these names are cool but be warned that if you choose one you will get the same three Shakespeare jokes for the rest of time
B - sure I guess
Delta - I have never heard of anyone with this name but I think it could work?
Mike - deeply boring name, try and be more imaginative. (the only reason Charlie isn't down here is that I know a couple of Charlies and they're lovely)
Zulu - probably don't name yourself this if you're white
C - I am really curious how you're gonna make these work
Bravo - I feel like this has the cadence and feel of a name, but it's definitely out there
Lima - people named after cities are not that common, but I guess if Paris can be a name then so can this
Papa - not sure this works as a legal name but it's definitely plausible as a nickname within a very specific in-group
Quebec - see Lima
D - maybe salvageable somehow?
Foxtrot - pretty odd, but you could shorten it to Fox and it's kinda reasonable
Tango - another dance, but even harder to make work than Foxtrot
Whisky - occupies a similar nickname space as Papa, with the extra downside that it makes you sound like an alcoholic
X-Ray - "Ray" on its own is fine but randomly shoving Xs at the start of things is something that basically only Elon Musk does
Yankee - it's not completely insane as a name but it has enough unpleasant connotations that I wouldn't recommend it
F - do not under any circumstances use these
Alpha - if someone introduces themself to me as "Alpha" I will immediately cover my drink
Golf - all issues with the sport aside, I just think this is a really ugly sequence of phonemes
Hotel - you are not a Monopoly token
Kilo - usually units of measurement are named after people, not the other way round
Uniform - too on-the-nose even for a badly written dystopia novel
rb this with ur opinion on this shade of pink:
This is magenta, and not pink. Unlike pink, magenta doesn’t actually exist. Our brain just invents magenta to serve as what it considers a logical bridge between red and violet, which each exist at opposite ends of a linear spectrum.
TL;DR this color is fake (and also I hate it)
Wait til you learn about Stygean Blue
Your brain is a badly-designed hot mess of bootstrapped chemistry that will tell you that all kinds of shit is happening that has no correlation to physical reality, including time travel. It just makes things up. Your brain is guessing about what’s happening when your eyes saccade, what’s happening in your blind spot, and what the majority of the visible light spectrum looks like, and you don’t know it’s happening because it doesn’t aid your survival to become aware that a lot of what you see is fake.
The human eye only has three types of color sensitive cones, which detect red, blue, and green light. Your brain is making up every other color you perceive.
Let’s have a little fun with that thought. This is the visible spectrum of light.
You will of course note that yellow is on the chart. Yellow has a discreet wavelength, and is therefore a distinct physical color. But we can’t see it.
“Sorry, what the fuck?”
What we call yellow is just what our brain shrugs and spits out when our red and green cones are equally stimulated. We have light receptors that can pick up on the physical spectrum of light we call yellow: that’s why yellow things don’t just look like moving black blocks to us. But your brain has no fucking idea what the color yellow looks like.
Some animals have eyes that can perceive the color yellow! Goldfish have a yellow cone in their eyes. If they could talk, they could tell us what yellow looks like. But we wouldn’t be able to understand it.
What your brain actually sees of the color spectrum:
We can measure the wavelength of light, so we know that when we see ‘yellow,’ we are seeing light in that 550-ish nanometers range. But we don’t have a cone in our eyes that can pick that up. Your brain just has a very consistent guess about what color that wavelength of light could be. We decided to name that guess ‘yellow.’ We can’t imagine what yellow really looks like any more than a dog can imagine the color red.
Here’s the funny thing: your brain is never perceiving just one photon of light at a time. Something like 2*10⁸ photons per second are hitting your retina under normal conditions. Your brain doesn’t individually process all of them. So it averages them out. It grabs a bunch of photons all coming from the same direction, with the same pattern, and goes, “yeah, that cup is blue, fuck it, next.”
That’s how colors blend in our eyes. So sure, if a photon of light with a wavelength of 550 nanometers bounces into our eyes, we see what we call “yellow.” But if we see two photons at the same time, coming from the same object, one of which is 500 nms and the other of which is 600 nms, your brain will average them out and you will still see yellow even though none of the light you just saw was 550 nms.
So how does magenta factor into this?
Well, as we’ve just established, when your brain sees light from two different slices of the visible light spectrum, it will try to just average them together. Green plus red is yellow, fuck it. If it’s more red than green, we’ll call that ‘orange.’ Literally who gives a shit, we’re trying to forage over here. There are bears out here and it’s so scary.
What happens if you take the average of blue and red light, which we perceive to be magenta? What’s the centerpoint of that line?
Fucking green.
Hey, that’s not gonna work? We live on a planet where EVERYTHING IS GREEN. If something is NOT green, that means it’s either food, or a potential source of danger, and either way your brain wants you to know about it.
So your brain goes, WHOOPS. Okay - this is fine. We already made up yellow, orange, cyan, and violet. We’ll just make up another color. Something that looks really, really different from green.
And so it made up magenta.
So, physics-wise, is magenta “real?”
No; there’s no single wavelength of light that corresponds to magenta. But you’re rarely seeing only a single wavelength of light anyway. And even when you are, every color other than RGB is a dart thrown on the wall by your meat computer. This is the CIE Chromaticity Diagram:
Explaining this thing is a little more than I want to take on on a Saturday morning, but I’ve included a link above that goes into it a little more. The point is that only the colors that actually touch the ‘outline’ of the shape actually correspond to a specific wavelength of light. All of the other colors are blends of multiple wavelengths. So magenta isn’t special.
Given that color is just a fun trick your brain is playing on you to help you find food and avoid danger, is magenta real?
Yeah, absolutely. Or at least, it’s just as real as most of what we see. It’s what we see when we mix up blue and red. It would be disastrous from a survival standpoint to perceive that color as green, so we don’t. Because it’s not green. Light that’s green has a wavelength of around 510 nm. Stuff that’s magenta bounces back light that is both ~400 and ~700. Your brain knows the difference. So it fills in the gap for you, with the best guess it has, same as it does with your blind spot.
The perception of color exists within your brain, and your brain says you see magenta. So you see magenta.
So I googled Stygian Blue and…
Yall.

bathe in your own sunlight !!!!!!
Scifi writer fear: readers who like to do more math than you do
Writer: Okay so this seems like an appropriate size for this room, given its function and the drama needed for the scene...
Readers: Perfect! we were told 3 chapters back that this room is 'the average room size for a spaceship of this type', meaning that we can use this size information to back-calculate the volume of the spaceship, adjust for the stated 0.9atm air pressure... and then looking at the required air cycling rate for humans... we can see that the air purification system briefly described in chapter 6 when they were replacing air filters would be impossible for this spaceship!
Tumblr ask 6 months later: It was really clever how you used the size of the rooms and the air filter system to hint that the ceilings of all the rooms were very very low and thus let the audience deduce that humans in the future are much shorter than humans today! That's a great little nod to the 'humans have gotten taller over time' thing that people like to say, and really subtle, since people who hadn't done the math on the room volume would never see it!
Writer: ... Yes. That was... very clever... of me... to do.
Showing numbers to sci-fi readers is a little like making the let's-play pose at an excitable terrier of unidentified provenance.
my favourite proofreading note i've ever sent to Harry was
"an agonizing forty-day journey of nearly one thousand miles" - 1000 miles at the stated two knots would take 18 days (yes I know this is spectacularly pedantic and no-one will notice or care except me)
I was thinking of you when I reblogged this oliver thank you for doing the good and pedantic work
the famous "nonthreatening feminist boy" photograph from 2013 was made entirely practically. The "mirror" effect, which would now be trivial to produce in any photo editor, was achieved by filling the room face-deep with mercury and shackling him to the floor so he didn't float to the surface
oh fuckkkk man not the SERIAL UNALIVER

this is just what juvenile siblings are like when they're being loosely social
my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
this is getting really popular so i’d like to add the important caveat that your criticism of a work is no more unassailable than the work itself. just as one is entitled to be critical of something someone else is entitled to disagree with that criticism. i add this because some of you pretend to give a fuck about thoughtful analysis and then when someone points out flaws in your argument you declare that all criticisms are valid. this is untrue. the status of a hater is no more sacred than that of a liker. get off your high horse and engage in the thoughtful discussion you pretend to believe in or perish by my blade
