back to techrev i think they still spar with one another but it’s secretly flirting and a way to be physically close. they both think they’re being slick. this is their shared motivation. they don’t tell each other though because why would they ever
Replying to @_amorphanta_
perhaps at one point someone did get hurt, hence the introduction of the simulation-based sparring rather than practicing on one another
since his family’s rich i guess he would be able to go wherever he wanted and study whatever he wanted but realistically i don’t think his parents would fund that (first off) and second off i really think he doesn’t want to use his parents like that. not just because it’s cruel

rev seems the type to be interested in a lot of different areas of study, and academia often pushes one track of study. he would love to major in everything. academia is like handcuffs to him, he needs to be able to choose on a whim
rev and tech did not go to the same school. i don’t think rev even began higher education. i know the “drop out” hc is popular but i disagree, i think it’s something he didn’t pursue in the first place
Replying to @_amorphanta_
especially if it is under “they met pre-loonatics,” rev probably didn’t stop thinking about tech after their first meeting and always tried to find him on campus after that
i think also tech didn’t understand that rev was debating him to understand, not to be oppositional. rev was probably very interested in tech, like he wanted to be his friend very bad
under “they met pre-loonatics” (which is my hc anyway) this is still the case. i won’t explain all of my version of their meeting bc it’s spoilers for future tension, HOWEVER, when they met again and were stuck together, they ddin’t like each other as much as when they first met
Replying to @_amorphanta_
this was early in their friendship for sure. i think they didn’t get along the best at first, but ironically this was what got them to be even closer (and not just physically)
that’s another thing dude! rev’s strong as hell
Replying to @_amorphanta_
tech probably resented this to begin with. rev didn’t know his own strength, given how increased velocity causes him to reeeally pack a punch, that didn’t help either (see: rev kicking massive around the basherball stadium like a pinball game). tech ended up with broken bones.

Spotify just announced a feature that could either save the music industry or destroy it.
Starting as early as Q1 2027, Spotify Premium subscribers will be able to use AI to transform any participating artist’s song into a completely different version. Turn a folk ballad into a dance track. Make a hip-hop song sound acoustic. Generate a cover where one artist’s voice performs another artist’s song. Remix a pop hit into lo-fi study music. Create the version of your favorite song that only existed in your head until now.
The remixes will be uploaded directly to Spotify. They’ll appear in playlists. They’ll count toward the original song’s chart position. And most importantly the original artist will earn royalties every time someone listens to a fan-created remix of their work.
Spotify has already signed a landmark licensing deal with Universal Music Group the world’s largest record label. Negotiations with Sony Music and Warner Music are ongoing. The feature will cost an additional $4–$5/month on top of Spotify Premium. And analysts project 7–8% of American subscribers will adopt it by 2028.
This is not Suno or Udio generating music from text prompts. This is fans remixing real songs by real artists with the artists’ permission, on the world’s largest streaming platform, with royalties flowing back to the creators.
A music industry analyst who’s covered streaming economics for 15 years told her team something after reading the licensing agreement that reframed how she understood the future of recorded music.
“Spotify just turned 640 million listeners into 640 million potential remixers. The question isn’t whether people will use it they will. The question is whether paying artists for fan remixes solves the economics of streaming or creates a world where the original recording is worth less than the infinite remixes generated from it.”
Here’s what Spotify’s AI remix feature actually is, who wins, who loses, and why this might be the most consequential decision in the music industry since the launch of streaming itself 🧵
they were probably paired up in training to begin with bc neither of them were super fit + rev was not used to his powers. tech held back because he was scared to hurt a road runner due to societal expectations being as they were. thus rev beat him up a lot
