Sorry if this is insensitive somehow but is breastfeeding just not a thing in the us? I ask because every time I read a fic that has been written by a USatian that has babies involved and the parent that could breastfeed is still around (like exclude accidental acquisition of babies, or adoption, etc, etc) not once has breastfeeding been used as a FREE and safe option for feeding said baby, the characters somehow always have formula even if they are poor or on the run or something, there is always formula involved, not even just pumped breast milk, formula right away.

I know this might be a weird thing to notice, and most of the time I try not to, but my neurodivergent brain has noticed a pattern and I'm wondering if it is a cultural thing or a world building thing 🤔

Also not counting books because somehow I don't think I've come across books in which the characters end up having babies, and even if there are some, there is formula involved or the parent 'stepping out of the room' to feed their child which is a whole other can of worms about this topic.

I hate when writers change Neil's backstory on a fic and then make wild plot points to justify him being tortured again. Let him live without some of the canon violence just once. Nathan can't be that all knowing and overpowered in every universe, it just doesn't make sense.

“Eww don’t ship them ! They’re just friends/ they hate each other/ they barely have any interaction/they never even met/they’re not from the same series !”

Pussy. Back in my days, we shipped Elsa and Jack Frost to hell and back because they were both ice themed.

I love the headcanon that Jean thinks Andrew is kinda spooky like a blank-eyed child in a horror movie or something.

I have no excuse for this one. I woke up from a fever dream with this prompt in my notes app. I think Neil just really reminds me of a scruffy scavenger animal you'd find in a trashcan. Anyway bonus panel:

some old merthur stuff

Noble: When I'd heard that Prince Consort Merlin used to be a peasant I'll admit I had my concerns but he is quite the proper gentleman. He's polite, respectful, always uses the proper titles, he's- Arthur: Mad at me Noble: Excuse me, Sire? Arthur: He's mad at me. He only ever puts on this performance of being the perfect consort when he's mad at me, he knows it drives me crazy Merlin: Is there anything you need from me before I retire to my chambers Sire? Arthur: You can tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it and you can go back to insulting me

the biggest thing i took away from the short stories is how much andrew minyard cares about people. he signed onto the foxes to give aaron a chance at college. he went through with the kit to give aaron a legitimate chance at trial. he gave neil the armbands so that he wouldn’t have to look at his scars all the time. he constantly sacrifices himself for others so much so that he ends up harming himself sometimes. andrew minyard, who still gets called heartless when he has one of, if not the biggest, hearts in the series.

Andrew saying this and proceeding to get walked like a dog for the next two books is deeply funny to 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

[gayagendaofficial]

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

[gaysie]

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. 

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 “normal” nose organ) 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) 

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.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”

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

No because everytime someones says uenoyama deserves better the given fandom would always show clips and panels of uenoyama caring for mafuyu most of the animanga but never mafuyu caring back to ue? 🤨

they don't know that they are probing to us that ueno deserves better 😭 the panels with mafuyu caring for ueno don't exist, mafuyama is literally carried by uenoyama because mafuyu doesn't bother, he is just there to take.

[seirenemuri]

My boy Uenoyama Ritsuka deserved better.
