I’ve added this twice already but I’m adding it a third time in case any of my followers haven’t seen it yet.(I’m rly proud of it)
Age based laws like drinking age and senior citizen discounts would be fucked. “I’m sorry sir you have to be at least 21 to drink” ‘I’M THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE I PROBABLY HAVE WHISKY THAT’S OLDER THAN YOU” “Sir, it’s the law” “WHEN I WAS TWENTY ONE THEY DIDN’T HAVE STUPID LAWS LIKE THIS” b/c this stuff is based on physical age not time lived.
The age hierarchy would disintegrate. “Don’t tell me what to do what are you like 12″ “I was doing this while you were in nappies shut up and listen”
Aromantic ppl would be like royalty or something by virtue of outliving literally everyone else. “Wow you speak a lot of languages” “Ofc I do I’ve been learning since 1131 A.D.”
How do linguistics and clothing and etiquette and culture evolve, when people are still lingering from the year the waltz became popular? History lessons from people who were there. English lessons from someone who saw the original Shakespeare performances and talks like they’re from straight out of one of the plays. Latin lessons from someone who gets all snobby about French and Italian being bastardizations.
What happens to people whose soulmates die before meeting them? Eternal life or aging alone? Does their soulmate reincarnate? Let’s go with that second one.
What are generations? Your mom’s best friend from childhood is your age. Your mom is middle aged. Or, weirder, your mom got knocked up outside a soul-bond and now, eighteen years later, you are physically the same age. Then you meet your soulmate and are ten years older than your mother.
Family trees are a wreck. Your brother’s husband’s nephew and your sister’s great-great-great grandchild are the same age and turn out to be soulmates. At the wedding, you are 18 and your brother is 46 and your sister is long dead. You’ve married outside your soulbond twice. The marriages lasted 21 and 43 years respectively. Only your first partner has started aging now, half a century after your divorce.
You’re 16 and an 18-year-old is flirting with you. Is he two years older or twenty?
U.S. Government paying reparations today to the still-living victims of American atrocities, to the slaves freed after the Civil War and to Cherokee who survived the Trail of Tears and to the Japanese Americans who were put in Internment Camps. Slaves having been freed after a century of enslavement b/c their owners prevented them from ever meeting their soulmate and thus kept them in perpetual young adulthood. Survivors who will take no shit because they were there and they know exactly what happened.
Doctors having to get a new degree after set amounts of time b/c STOP USING LEECHES TO BALANCE THE FOUR HUMORS MEDICAL SCIENCE HAS ADVANCED BEYOND THAT.
Trans ppl being born in the 1700s and wanting to transition and not being able to the way they are today and living long enough for HRT to be developed.
Poly ppl meeting one partner, aging for a year, and then stopping again like wtf??? And getting three more partners before the aging starts and doesn’t stop. Living eighty years as 21 year olds waiting for one more person.
