feeling unloved and unwanted by your romantic partner is a very bad thing
Feeling worthless and inferior to your romantic partner is a very bad thing
Mike making zero effort to express more love towards Jane in season 5 after supposedly fixing that issue in season 4 a sign of a toxic and emotionally abusive relationship (even if the abuse is unintentional)
Mike's breakdown in season 2 isn't "cute". He's not being sweet and protective over Jane. He is stressed and this is a trauma response. Calling it a "cute romantic m!leven moment" is gross
Based on "This loving feeling (it wears us out)" by Girl_rotting on Ao3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/76741956/chapters/200869861)... this scene made me sob at 2am I can't lie.
Fantasy AU byler/cleradin inspired from middle age french literature and renaissance italian literature— how would you guys feel about it? I can elaborate more if you want to 👀
btw jonathan, nancy, steve and robin won't actually be able to see each other every month. maybe the first fes months they'll actually meet in philadelphia, but then jonathan will have exams and uni projects to complete and nancy will be busy with work, baseball season will start and steve won't be able to leave the kids and robin can't stop the radio for multiple days every month, their meetings will become yearly and eventually they'll just stop seeing each other at all. they'll call during the holidays and on birthdays, steve will invite them to his wedding and to his wife will descrive them just as "highschool friends", because he can't say that what they have is actually so much deeper.
in this universe, gender norms are strictly important and taught in schools, omegas and alphas have to take madatory "omega etiquette" or "alpha etiquette" classes where they're taught how to be behave like their secondary gender requires. secondary genders have been around for just some time (100/150/200 years?) so there are still a lot of regolamentatiom about it. there is a sort of oligarchy (disguised as democracy) since alphas got the power by force, claiming they were the most fit to be in that position— that however lead to a really alpha-centric view of society where other genders are viewed as lesser than.
all parents hope their children will become alpha because alphas hold the highest positions in society and face little to no discrimination.
alpha/alpha and omega/omega relationship are forbidden by the law. Since only omegas and betas can get pregnant, omega/omega and alpha/alpha relationships wouldn't bring children to society. betas can get pregnant (if afab) or get people pregnant (if amab) but their sperm is weaker than alphas and their chances of getting pregnant are lower than omegas. omegas can get pregnant and alphas can get people pregnant regardless of their primary gender.
primary and secondary school are accessible to all, but there is still a lot of discrimination in university, in many faculties omegas are not allowed to enroll at all— mainly marketing etc.
rich families often marry off their omega children to alphas from other packs to ensure a benevolent relationship from pack to pack and political or business alliances.
there are some progressive omega movements, but they weren't able to change much yet.
