โI thought you knew how to braid.โ You look in the mirror.
โI do.โ
โReally?โ You turn your head to the side to check out the โbraidโ he attempted to do. โCause thatโs not how itโs supposed to look.โ
Jason shrugs, grabbing the sides of your head and turning it back. โIโd do a lot better if you didnโt tease me.โ
You scoff. โHow is you being a bad braider my fault?โ
โIt just is.โ He mutters, undoing the braid to restart again until itโs up to your standards. โNow shh.โ
You smile at your boyfriend in the mirror. Heโs got that determined look on his face that you love so much. The braid wasnโt that bad, but you just had to tease him. You wouldnโt be his very loving girlfriend if you didnโt.
โYou could have kept it, Jay.โ You say, watching his hands thread slowly through your hair, needing to perfect the braid for you.
โYou said you hated it.โ
Your brows rise at his lie. โNow youโre just putting words in my mouth.โ
โIโd put a cookie in your mouth to get you to hush and let me focus.โ He fires back softly, a small grin on his face as he is amused by his own joke.
You huff, slouching in your chair and letting Jason perfect his craft.
And about three minutes later, heโs done with the braid and turns your head to the side so you can get a glimpse of it.
He looks down at you, hopeful that youโll like it.
It wasnโt perfect. Not at all. But because your boyfriend did it with pure love and admiration, it was perfect to you. A smile makes its way to your lips.
โItโs perfect.โ You look up at him. โThank you, Jay.โ
His cheeks turn a light pink and he looks away to avoid your gaze. โYouโre just saying that.โ
You laugh softly and stand to your feet. You softly grab his face to force him to look at you. โNo, Iโm saying it because itโs perfect because you did it.โ
He grins, arms coming around your waist and pulling you flush into him.
Your arms fly around his neck, gently pulling his face down towards yours. โI love you.โ
โฃ jason is the type to act annoyed when you steal his hoodies, but secretly loves seeing you wear them. every single time he catches you walking around in one of his oversized sweatshirts, he'll roll his eyes and tell you that you have your own clothes. the thing is, he never actually asks for them back. in fact, he'll intentionally leave his favorite hoodies draped over chairs or hanging by the door because he knows you'll take them. if you ever return one, he'll probably stare at it for a second and ask why you aren't wearing it anymore.
โฃ he leaves his books everywhere. you swear he owns multiple bookshelves, but somehow every surface in the apartment ends up covered in novels. there'll be one on the kitchen counter, three on the coffee table, and another balanced on the arm of the couch. sometimes you'll pick one up to move it and find little sticky notes that have scribbled writing fall out of them. jason claims he's organized because he "knows where everything is," but you'll never understand how he manages to locate a specific book among the chaos.
โฃ grocery shopping with him is dangerous. you'll enter the store with a perfectly reasonable shopping list and leave wondering how the bill doubled. jason somehow sneaks random snacks into the cart whenever you're distracted. you'll be comparing pasta brands, then look down and discover three different types of cookies and enough cereal to survive an apocalypse. the worst part is that he always acts innocent when you call him out, even though he's absolutely guilty.
โฃ he loves cooking for you. jason genuinely enjoys being in the kitchen, especially when he's making something he knows you'll love. if you've had a bad day, he'll quietly start cooking before you even have a chance to complain about it. the apartment fills with the smell of your favorite meal, and suddenly the day feels a little less awful. he'll act like it's no big deal, but he pays attention to every little thing you like and remembers it.
โฃ movie nights are mandatory. jason will complain endlessly if you choose a romantic movie, claiming they're all predictable. then he'll proceed to watch the entire thing while providing commentary on every scene. he gets weirdly invested in side characters and starts making predictions about the plot halfway through. if he's right, he'll spend the rest of the night bragging about it. if he's wrong, he'll insist the writers changed the ending just to spite him.
โฃ jason pretends he doesn't like cuddling. if anyone asked him, he'd probably deny being affectionate at all. yet somehow every movie night ends with him stretched across half your body. he'll start by sitting on the opposite side of the couch, then gradually move closer until you're practically trapped beneath him. once he's comfortable, he's not moving for anything. at that point, you've basically become his personal pillow.
โฃ he remembers tiny details about you. jason notices things most people overlook and stores them away without saying anything. he remembers your coffee order, your favorite candy, and which songs you always replay in the car. weeks later, he'll casually show up with your favorite drink and act like it's nothing special. meanwhile, you're standing there wondering how he remembered something you mentioned once three months ago. he'll never admit how much attention he pays to you.
โฃ arguments never last long. jason can absolutely be stubborn when he's upset. he'll cross his arms, glare at the wall, and insist he's fine when he's clearly not. but no matter how irritated he is, he hates sleeping while things are unresolved between you. eventually he'll wander into the room and sit beside you in silence for a minute before quietly asking, "you still mad?"
โฃ the apartment is filled with little signs of him caring. your phone charger mysteriously gets replaced before you even realize the old one is broken. your favorite snacks somehow appear in the pantry whenever you run out. the blanket you always steal is folded neatly on the couch after he notices you left it somewhere else. jason isn't always great at expressing his feelings out loud, so he shows them through actions instead. the apartment becomes full of tiny reminders that he's always thinking about you.
โฃ he absolutely loves when you read while he's reading. some of his favorite moments are the quiet ones where neither of you says much. you'll be curled up together on the couch, each lost in your own book for hours. every once in a while he'll read a line he likes and slide the book over for you to see. there's no pressure to fill the silence because being together is enough. to jason, those peaceful moments feel just as meaningful as any big romantic gesture.

masterlist
"Doll, what are you doing? Babe?"
It's almost 3 am, and Jason's just now coming home from patrol. It was a busy night, and all he wanted to do was get in bed, wrap his arms around your sleeping form, and fall asleep surrounded by your scent and warmth.
What he didn't expect to see was you sitting at your desk, nose deep into an heavily highlighted textbook, and listening to- what the fuck are "gamma waves for focus"?
Jason had to call you another time for you to finally hear his voice and take off your headphones. You are so tired that you didn't even flinch at the sudden appearance of your boyfriend.
"Oh- I'm just studying. I have an exam tomorrow."
Your eyes are so red, Jason just knows they're burning, and he's also pretty sure you're very close to falling asleep in that exact position.
"I know you have an exam tomorrow. You've been preparing for it for weeks."
In response you just hum, turning your attention back to your material. Your movements are slower than usual, and when your eyes get back on the page, he can tell that you're not even actually reading the words on it, just merely staring at them.
Jason gets closer to you, and places his big hands on your shoulders, gently massaging them, earning a satisfied sigh from you.
"I think you should go to bed, love."
His voice is not patronizing โ never that. He's just trying to take care of you, just like you take care of him whenever he needs some patching up after patrol.
"But I don't know anything, Jay. It feels like I can't memorize anything anymore."
You look close to tears, and the sight breaks Jason's heart. He knows how much effort you put into everything you do, especially your studies. So seeing you doubting yourself personally offends him.
"Hey," he begin, softly kissing the side of your head, "you're the smartest woman I know. And I know how hard you've been studying for this exam. You've got this."
You stare at your notes for a few more seconds before finally closing everything and standing up for the first time in hours.
"Let's get you ready for bed, uh?"
You nod, and your shared night time routine starts.
He gets in the shower, while you do your skin care, finding comfort in each other's presence. You then both brush your teeth, taking turns to rinse your toothbrushes.
Finally you get in your pj's and slide into bed, immediately curling up against Jason's chest, completely melting against him as he wraps his strong arms around you.
Both of you fall asleep and wake up in this same exact position.
The morning of your exam, he takes you out to breakfast to your favorite spot, listening to you as you revise your material.
Safe to say he's the first person you text after you're done with your exam.
Jay ๐ฉท
regardless of the result I'm so proud of you โค๏ธ
A/N: This was the fic! Reblogs and comments are always appreciated, even if it's criticism (as long as it's constructive). I love talking with you angels, so my dms and inbox are always open!
being mutuals is like weโve never talked but i saw your vent post and do you want me to kill that person for you. still wonโt talk to you tho bc that is scary sorry. love you
I was feeling agitated and artblocked yesterday so I decided to give my brain a rest by watching TV and then the next thing I knew these were in front of me
do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles
actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world donโt have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we donโt have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs
Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2
ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons.ย
Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)
They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your โnormalโ nose organ)ย as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)
Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc)ย
The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb
From Seo et al.: โConsidering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamstersโ
If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well

In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.
OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist
FLY is a story about a boy who gets a second chance. Help his story take flight June 9th 11am EST on Kickstarter. Thank you for being the wind beneath my wings I hope this story lifts the world to a brighter place.
A coming of age story about Black kids who finally have power to fight back against systems designed against them.
med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid ๐" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times
"Before surgery, your bodyโs reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If thereโs food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. Thatโs called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
I have four kids. Iโve had one or another of them need some kind of surgical procedure that requires anesthesia four or five times over the past 15 years.
This Tumblr post is the first time someone has explained to me *why* I couldnโt feed them before those instances.
Iโm not stupid. I understood that just fine. Hell, my kids would have understood that just fine. But no one bothered to tell us.
Jason used to think self-care was โtaking a shower after patrol and maybe eating something that wasnโt cold pizza.โ Now he has a whole shelf in the bathroom dedicated to the skincare routine you introduced him to. He grumbles about it, but you catch him using the fancy moisturizer you bought him when he thinks youโre not looking.
He lets you paint his nails black when youโre having a lazy Sunday. At first it was โjust this once,โ but now he picks the color himself sometimes โ usually deep red or dark green to match his Hood aesthetic. He wears them under his gloves on patrol like a secret.
Shopping with you used to be torture for him. Now he actually enjoys it. Heโll let you drag him into stores and try on clothes you pick out, even if he pretends to hate it. The first time he bought a soft oversized sweater because โit smelled like youโ when you hugged him in it, you knew he was hooked.
He started using your hair products. His hair is softer now, the white streak less brittle. When you run your fingers through it at night, he melts and pretends heโs not purring.
Jason used to wear the same three hoodies on rotation. Now his closet has actual outfits โ nice jeans, button-downs you picked out, even a leather jacket that isnโt battle-worn. He wears them when he takes you on dates and looks ridiculously good doing it.
He lets you give him face masks. The first time you put a bright green one on him, he complained the whole time. Now he asks for the โblue one that smells like berriesโ when heโs had a rough patrol. He falls asleep with his head in your lap while it dries.
Bath bombs. He discovered them through you and is now lowkey obsessed. Heโll come home after a long night, run the water, and drop one in without saying anything. If you join him, he gets all soft and quiet, just holding you in the warm water.
He buys candles now. Not the cheap ones โ the expensive ones that smell like books and rain and the cologne you like. He lights them when youโre over and pretends itโs โfor the vibeโ when really itโs because he wants the apartment to feel like home for you.
Jason used to cut his own hair with kitchen scissors. Now he lets you trim it in the bathroom, sitting on a stool while you carefully shape the white streak. He watches you in the mirror the whole time with the softest look on his face.
He wears your scrunchies. At first it was just to keep his hair out of his face while cooking. Now he has a drawer full of them in different colors you picked out. Heโll wear one on his wrist like a bracelet when heโs out in civilian clothes.
Self-care nights are sacred now. You introduced him to sheet masks, bath salts, and fluffy socks. He complains the whole time but always participates. The first time he asked for a โspa nightโ after a bad patrol, you almost cried from how proud you were.
He lets you dress him up for dates. You pick out button-downs and nice jeans and he wears them without argument. He even asks for your opinion now: โDoes this look okay? I donโt want to embarrass you.โ
Jason used to think cologne was โfor rich assholes.โ Now he has a signature scent you helped him choose โ warm, woody, with a hint of spice. He wears it because he knows you like burying your face in his neck and breathing him in.
He takes baths with you. Not just showers. Full baths with bubbles and candles and him sitting behind you, arms around your waist, chin on your shoulder. Heโs quiet during those moments, just holding you like youโre the only thing keeping him grounded.
On bad mental health days, he lets you pamper him. Face masks, head scratches, you reading to him while he lies with his head in your lap. He used to push you away when he felt like this. Now he leans into it because you make him feel safe enough to be soft.
He buys you matching pajamas. Soft, oversized ones in your favorite color. He pretends itโs โjust practicalโ but the way he smiles when you wear them says otherwise.
Jason started journaling. Not the dramatic kind โ just little notes about his day, things that made him happy, things heโs grateful for. Most of the pages end with your name. He keeps it hidden but leaves it open sometimes so youโll see how much he loves you.
He lets you take care of him. When he comes home hurt, he doesnโt hide it anymore. He lets you patch him up, make him tea, hold him until the nightmares fade. He whispers โthank youโ against your skin every time, like he still canโt believe he gets to have this.
The biggest change? He tells you he loves you now. Not just in grand gestures or quiet moments. He says it in the kitchen while youโre cooking, in the shower when youโre washing his hair, in the middle of the night when he thinks youโre asleep. Heโs still learning how to be soft, but heโs trying โ for you.
a/n: hope this fit the request well.. it was so fun to write omg
