I Was Kind Of Imagining All 15 Pipes Dropping At The Same Time In One Cacophony But He Drops Them One

look, it's easy, okay? High Fantasy has An Hero whose Destiny is Sword, and Low Fantasy has Some Schmoe whose Job is Sword.

oh i never know how to explain this properly but i looooooooooooooooove when a story just absolutely TELLS you something and it’s so obvious it goes right by you. like the equivalent of hiding in plain sight. i’m thinking in the original cut(?) of alien where they showed the full xenomorph, crouched and ready to pounce, but because we’ve never seen it before, we can’t tell what it is and interpret it as part of the spaceship. or it’s a detail that seems so out of place or wildly insane that you automatically ignore it and assume you misinterpreted until that exact detail comes back in a big way? (like when noah the raven boy flat out tells everyone he’s a ghost and they take it as a joke, so the reader does too) is there a tvtropes name for this i’m obsessed with it

you know what? fuck you *does this to your horror podcast men*:

Finally, here’s the last villain kid of my Descendants redesigns, Jay! For his character, I imagined that Jafar implemented rougher parenting than Queen Grimhilde or Cruella, and subjected Jay to living the life of a street rat to toughen him up (I love the live action take on Jafar where he’s a social climber and started off like Aladdin as a street rat and a thief), give him the natural tools to fend for himself, and scrapping with brutes on the daily. I liked the idea that that would be where he naturally gets his athleticism and good instincts in his physicality. Any gold items and trinkets on his person are things he’s swiped from others, and unlike Carlos, because Jafar is exiled from the palace and without his genie magic, Jay hasn’t inherited any fineries for his wardrobe.

You know, as the concept of “zombifying fungi” becomes more and more popular, I notice it still referred to everywhere as like a “brain parasite.” So I guess a lot of people overlooked or forgot how in 2019 it was discovered that cordyceps and other similar fungal parasites leave the brain and nervous system completely untouched. They only control the muscles. They use chemical signals to make the muscles flex in real time where they want to go :)

Omegaverse readers & writers!! I want to hear from you!!!

Firstly — Yes — I have already done a lot of research. I don’t need the basics explained to me or the fact that it is an incredibly diverse genre with examples good writing, bad writing, good social commentary, bad social commentary, expansive thoughtful worldbulding, raunchy porn without plot, and everything in between.

What I’m looking for with this post is personal experiences and opinions from people who read/ write this content since I am not one. Feel free to link any fics that exemplify what you’re talking about.

you can write as much or as little as you like, answer as many or as few of the questions as you like:

What fandom introduced you to omegaverse?

What trends and developments have you noticed as the genre has grown over the past 14-ish years?

what initially intrigued you about it?

Are there similar genres, tropes, etc, that you also enjoy? (ie. werewolf or other supernatural romance, science fiction which explores alternative biology) basically, how does omegaverse fit into your wider literary tastes?

what do enjoy most about it?

what are some elements you avoid or are critical of?

Any specifics or nuances you want the non-omegaverse reading public to know about

In case anyone is coming across this post without knowing who i am — Hi! I’m a youtuber and I make videos about online subculture, fandom, and such.

could you please write something about ronin and his ex Ther?? I'm so curious to know what you think went down between them :3 i love your writing it's so good 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

Forgive me if I get something wrong about Gluttony Gods I only did one run through it 🙏

I think what's really interesting about having Gluttony Gods and Killer Chat is that we get to see Ronin's past, but at the same time, it isn't really his past. Parts of it are canon, parts of it are not. Ther being a major part of Ronin's life is canon, but Ther continuing to be part of his life is not.

So what happened then in the Killer Chat universe?

Well, maybe Ronin… didn't go back. Decided to just continue his life somewhere else, except there's no way he could have done that at all, that wouldn't be Ronin. He has to go back, for Ther and for himself, so I believe in the KC verse that's exactly what he did too.

He is the devil and chaos incarnate, but when it comes to Ther, we can predict him just a little bit more. So if Ronin is the same so far, then something must have happened to Ther.

I have two thoughts/theories/ideas for this—one is that, by the time Ronin came back to Angelwood, it was too late. There was no chance for him to save them, maybe Ther just couldn't handle it anymore, couldn't handle having to keep up their mask and facade, they were gone by the time Ronin came back without ever having the chance to know that he came back.

The second is that Ther was there, and most of the Gluttony Gods events played out, a massacre, ruins of blood and gore, but somewhere somehow, Ronin lost them—not literally in the gone missing sense, because there's no world where Ronin wouldn't be devoting his time to Ther if he even thought she was still around, so she has to be… dead. In either of these cases, the result has to be the same. Ther is dead, or at the very least, there has to be a reason for Ronin to believe they are.

So he loses himself a little more. Truly becomes the devil, the butcher, with kills racking up to the hundreds, he doesn't particularly discriminate with who he targets, but if they happen to fit his criteria of who he really hates, then he can lose himself in his kills just a little more.

It's why it's so amusing to him when he meets Angel and finds so much of Ther in her. He would never be able to truly delude himself into thinking that they were similar, no one could ever be Ther, but their similarities did bring him comfort. It's why, even after they break up, he can't help but find himself feeling protective over Angel, just a little softer than he normally would be to the others, because sometimes he looks at her and he's reminded of what he lost.

And honestly? I think no matter how much he loves the MC, there's nothing that could ever top the love he had and still has for Ther. The hole is just too big to fill, and he's not exactly looking for a replacement (which is a good thing depending on how you look at it 💕).
