Re: Wait, seriously?

Traffic lights. Fashion. Hazardous warning signs. Hospital navigation. If colour-blindness is the default for most of the population for large chunks of their lives, there are a fair few things that would change.

If humans evolved that way, with colour-blindness as a primary feature, I wonder if we got a slightly different sense array as well? A boost to smell or taste or something, so we didn't all kill ourselves with poisonous berries back in the day.

I wonder which way around society would be built to favour. Would it prioritise non-bonded people, arrange things for easier navigation in a colourless world, and it's bonded people who have to spend the first few years struggling to adapt to new senses and a society that now considers them strange and lucky and a little alien? Or would it prioritise bonded people as a higher social strata, an elite (relative) few with social benefits skewed towards them and markers laid out for technology and advancement that only people who see colour can take advantage of? Would it change from place to place? Would places with a higher general incidence of people finding their soulmates produce a more colour-biased society, while sparser areas or areas where there are factors keeping soulmates apart would prioritise non-bonded? Would social construction affect it? Ethnic homogeneity or diversity, class boundaries, religions based on soul matches and the two distinctly and notably different worldviews possible because of its presence or lack. Would religions or belief systems spring up trying to eradicate soul matches in search of a more general human unity?

And, yes, not the point of soulmate AUs. I get that. But still. It'd be kind of fascinating to see a fic go into that sort of thing.

THIS

I swear you pulled the exact musings I have had when I've taken the time to contemplate how a world would exist and function.

And its not just for soulmate fics I wonder but things like the Alpha/Omega trope and really anything that fundamentally affects the world at large like Superheros (the insurance has to be insane in some cities) or Supernatural (how do werewolves handle having a city as territory where people are constantly traveling through for work).

Yes!! Me too! This and the ayrt's musings is exactly what I always love to think about when this kind of stuff comes up, and it's a favorite topic of mine for the DC and Marvel superhero universes in particular, (the insurance and all, and like, traffic reports probably including superhero fight locations with information about the type of debris, type of weaponry being used, hazards to look out for, which roads have been closed, etc etc) :D

Ha, I totally read a fic where there was a PR nightmare surrounding the Avengers, and an Avengers-specific insurance was mentioned. XD
