✦Omega Pride Flag✦

(If the image continues blurry I do apologize... again)

✦The meaning of the colours and shapes✦

✦ Magenta: Symbolizes Fertility. This is not just to mean literal fertility. But also fertility in the sense of bringing to life things and connection. Omegas have as their core the cappacity to bring life to this world. Not just literally, but figuratively too. It also represents amab Omegas.

✦ Pink: Symbolizes Love. The core of an Omega is loving. Be it nurturing love, motherly love, brotherly love, pack love, or self-love. An Omega who loves is an Omega who prospers.

✦ White: Symbolizes Pride. Pride to be not only the most often diminished dynamics, but to claim that with grace and loudly. Omegas are not lesser than any other dynamics, they're the blood that bumps the heart of this community.

✦ Yellow: Symbolizes Resiliance. Omegas are anything but fragile. Be it in child-birth or be it in enduring the ridicule of others, Omegas are resilient. One of the strongest Dynamics out there.

✦ Gold: Symbolizes Community. Much like the other flags, community amongst others, but specially amongst Omegas is very important for Omegas. An Omega is nothing without its fellow Omegas. So rejoyce in your fraternity for you are the strenght that keeps yourself and others moving.

✦ Purple: Symbolizes Unity. Unity as a community, as a dynamics and as a miscecanis community.

✦ Central Star: Symbolizes Beauty. Because all omegas are beautiful. No questions asked hahahaha. It also symbolizes they're often the "central star" in Omegaverse. My proof being it's called "Omegaverse" not any other dynamics verse hahaha. I hope my Omegas all enjoyed it. You can check the other flags below:

Miscecanis Pride Flag. Beta Pride Flag. Alpha Pride Flag. Dynamifluid/Other Dynamics Pride Flag.

I'm glad Stolas treated imps and hell hounds the way he does in canon. He's made some progress, he'll continue to make more, but I'm glad he acted and spoke the way he did, and that he was blind to it. If he was perfect and respectful toward "lesser demons" from the beginning, that would give big "chosen one, specialist boy, I'm not like the other Goetia because I'm special" vibes, which is more boring and unrealistic than "there's nothing extraordinarily special about him; he's still a Goetia raised in Goetian society and he has no reason to be that much different aside from his unique position of being abused and isolated from his peers". Of course he is unique in his personality, and his little play date with Blitz as a kid shapes things too, but those are small things in comparison that will/have built up with everything else to one day overcome the far larger pressure of "everything he's ever known, been taught, seen modeled by Goetian society".

Stolas genuinely thought he'd been perfectly respectable toward Blitz because not only has everyone he's ever known treated imps WAY worse than he does, but they also treated HIM very poorly. He has no basis of comparison on how to treat anyone with proper respect, let alone an imp.

But he's learning. He wasn't born special, he was picked out by circumstance and he chose to step up. That's the part that makes him the right guy for the narrative, that's what makes him "special", he CHOSE to do better. He wants to learn. Another Goetia, in his shoes, would have thrown Blitz under the bus, kept patronizing him, never given two fucks about any imp of their feelings.

Stolas is the demon we love despite the cruelty he was raised in, not because he is exempt from his social station.

It's like that "the hero that started off as a humble farm boy was actually a descendent from history's most special warrior" vs "the hero that started off as a humble farm boy actually was just like everyone else and just caved his own fate with his bare hands, everyone has the power to change" debate. Only in this case it's "the rich, privileged prince is beloved by the humble folk because he's just for some reason always been kind" vs "the rich, privileged prince is beloved by the humble folk because he grew as a person and gave a shit about the humble folks lives". And the "humble folk" in this case are I.M.P. specifically since every other imp in hell, at this point, are getting off on chucking rotten food at him.

who is old enough to be part of the fanfic.net era where we literally talked to our characters? like, had conversations with them?

cause I do. as a lonely child of 12 who had no friends, it was a favorite pasttime of mine to boot up the dial-up internet and type out imaginary conversations with ouran high school host club characters in the beginning notes before even starting the damn chapter (which was inevitably 500 words long and absolutely awful)

[castielsdisciple]

Modern Author’s Note on Ao3: might discuss some possible triggers, thank readers for comments, apologize for a delay in update, etc–talking to reader, essentially.

Author’s Note on FFN back in 2010: 

Author: Y’all are gonna love this cahpter!!!! [Character] not sooooo much

Character:…wh–what’s gonna happen?

Author: Don’t worry about it! ^.^

Character: WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME??

Author: ;)

Character: D:

those were dark, dark days, man. Today’s Fandom Freshman are sure lucky they missed this. 

[tenoko1]

This when right alongside the detailed disclaimers to avoid lawsuits.

[hazeldomain]

Don’t forget that the author was broken into at least five separate voices, ‘Inside Out’ style.

[officialgleamstar]

or where you would have ask blogs for your ocs except it was just in a ff.net story. basically an entire classic authors note except people would ask questions. that was my childhood.

[zwritestuff]

Y'all forgot that sometimes we also appeared in the middle of the text with notes like “(author: noooo >:( character is such a b*tch!!!! character: I’M NOT!!!!)” And it was the crimgiest shit ever but we had fun doing it lmao

[stars-for-thought]

Even now I’m cringing as I recall those days

[full-moon-phoenix]

The thing about that era that makes me cringe the most is the author’s notes IN BETWEEN SENTENCES! Ugh, that was so unprofessional. I remember my phase where I used SO many adverbs, especially “boredly”; even back then I was pretty sure that’s not even a word, and i would just say in between sentences: (AN- I know boredly isn’t a word, but I’m using it anyway. Sue me.)

We were trying so hard to make it like a comedic cartoon, and forgot that this was WRITING, not ANIMATION.

[layzeal]

so imagine a guy who hates MDZS gets so pissed off at the ending he dies and gets transported into that world as Wen Chao, and to avoid the fate of being brutally tortured to death by Wei Wuxian he has to find a way to fix his character arc before it's too late

however those attempts cascade into a series of insane events that causes WWX to fall in love with Wen Chao, as our guy keeps getting assigned romantic scenes with WWX that originally happened between wangxian

terrible, isn't it? that's SVSSS

[piosplayhouse]

Also imagine that all of WWX's contemporaries (LWJ, JC, NHS, Wen Ning, etc.) ALSO fell in extremely pathetic unreciprocated love with Wen Chao. And that they used Wen Chao to advertise menstrual products. That's SV!

[layzeal]

also our main character would later find out that MXTX herself is now Su She and soon to be engaged with Jin Guangyao

[livixbobbiex]

By far one of my favourite things about the yuri on ice fandom is that one day we just collectively decided that Viktor calls Yuuri солнышко (solnyshko - little sun), and literally nobody argued so it may as well be canon now

It’s time for fandom stats: Omegaverse edition! In which I look at the “Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics” tag (and related tags) on AO3.  If you’re unfamiliar with the Omegaverse, I recommend norabombay’s primer.

TL;DR: Summary.

Omegaverse is overwhelmingly biased toward the Explicit rating and the M/M relationship category.  

Omegaverse has been increasingly common on AO3 over time, but still shows up in less than 1% of fanfic.

The top Omegaverse fandoms strongly overlap with the most common fandoms on AO3 more generally right now.

A lot of Mpreg fic is also Omegaverse, and the percentage is growing – but over 80% of new Mpreg fanfic is not labeled Omegaverse.

Sherlock and some of the other currently very active fandoms produce most of the Omegaverse fanfic, but that’s largely a function of the activity level of the fandom rather than a focus on Omegaverse specifically.

Supernatural RPF fandom, the apparent originator of this trope, still produces a disproportionate amount of Omegaverse compared to other top Omegaverse fandoms, often surpassing 5%.

Perfect full page background image!

Sometimes we have a beautiful image that isn’t a pattern to put in the background, but in different resolutions, the image doesn’t fit perfectly in the screen. Here the solution to this problem!

In the CSS, put this code:

html { background: url(images/bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed; -webkit-background-size: cover; -moz-background-size: cover; -o-background-size: cover; background-size: cover; }

Don’t forget to replace “images/bg.jpg” for the URL of your image!

ATENTION! Make sure that in the “body” tag on your CSS, there’s no background-color. If you have a background-color in body, the code will not appear correctly.

ABO & Contraceptives

A long time ago I added some stuff to a question @aboprofessor received about omegas getting pregnant in heats and ways to prevent it. You can check it right here if you want.There Professor mentioned that she and a friend came to the conclusion that condoms ain’t gonna fly with Alphas due to their knots and whatnot. But that got me thinking. How would that reflect on things and what options were left to people in ABO if that was the case? So I put the three most common and affective contraceptive go-to methods against each other and analyzed them in the face of Omegaverse. Here’s what I got:

And yes I’m aware that there are many other contraceptive methods that I didn’t even mentioned, and that some of these have “exceptions” even in real life, such as vaccines for certain STDs and pills that don’t actually require any prescriptions depending in what country you live. BUT, let’s just keep to the basics okay? And looking at it, to a general public the condom is the best option of them all, no doubt (and depending if the country has public health they are also distributed by the goverment, so bascially everyone would have access to at least a regular one). But as Professor pointed out before, an Alpha’s knot would make it INCREDIBLY unconfortable to wear one of those. No matter how much latex can stretch the knot would just be crushed by the pressure given back by the condom… Yikes. So I started to think of a way to solve this (Cause I have nothing better to do with my life and I’m always trying to make ABO super realistic every darn time, obviously) and I came up with a solution: Stretched Condoms. Okay hear me out first. What if the condoms made for Alphas are manifactured in a way that would allow for an Alpha’s knot to swell but without stretching the latex that makes for most of the condom itself. What if they were manifactured with small stretches around the base, little “pockets” of excess latex if you may, that don’t expand until they are forced to. Think of if as a ballon. It only expands when the air inside forces it to expand, but intead of air it’s a knot. This way the condom can accomodate a knot confortably in every stage and any size until it’s fully swollen. Let me represent it by this terribly drawn graphic:

There’s also the advantage that it could be used by a Male Beta if the situation calls for it. Obviously the Beta would have to be unusually, hum, blessed(?) since Alphas have a lot more going on most part of the time, if you know what I’m saying. But I think Male Betas can find common ground with the ones made for Female Alphas. I think these would be more expensive due to the extra steps and extra latex to produce such a condom tho, which would make the regular one more affortable and just a smarter purchase for the Betas, so using an Alpha one wouldn’t even be that common if you think about it. Alphas on the other hand, well there’s not much you can do but pay the extra moneys for it.  But there you go. A solution for how condoms work when there’s a knot involved. This is not exactly useful information, is more of a “in the case you’re curious” kind of thing, I suppose. But it was something that was bothering me for some time now. So hum… enjoy I guess? hsuahsuasauh Idk what to say. It’s a post about condoms so it’s not exactly the most interesting thing ever XD. And as always just because I said it would be like this doesn’t mean you have to accept that. You can just make your own thing or just say that regular ones would work fine in your verse because reasons. Get creative as much as you want my dude, and have fun.

Another sneak peek! I’m working on a…neat project (at least, I think it’s fun) involving this folklore/mythology verse, not sure if it’ll work out or not but. I’ll reveal more once I code the theme for it (-.-). I got so picky with themes that I just built one myself, but it’s got some issues to work out before it’s ready to go.

Anyway, because some people seem to confuse omegaverse dynamics as applying to real people and I’m done with others thinking these headcanons are in any way reflective of actual human beings and not fictional characters (which totally horrifies me, yikes), I’m shoving that ^ disclaimer on the top of all my posts.

(i added the japanese for fun. i think it literally means ‘this creative work is fiction’ haha redundant much.)

PTAs in Japan are very intense, involved, and oddly enough dreaded by mothers and fathers alike. Didn’t know that until I looked it up for this headcanon set.

Omegas are generally expected to be enthused about everything related to childbirth and child rearing, but most of them really do dread PTA duty.

The odd omega who genuinely enjoys it really is seen as strange in the eyes of the other omegas.

Everyone collectively pities the new parents (beta or omega) who are excited about it. They let experience speak for itself, though. No sense harping on them. They’ll find out soon enough.

A lot of alphas probably don’t understand why, at first, and are quite confused that their omegas look so darn dejected when they finally have to do PTA duty.

Until the alpha is elected head of the PTA, and then they’re just kind of floundering because how are they supposed to have a full time job, get back home, and immediately go sit on a 2 hour meeting at school to determine budgets for school festivals and such…

If you really want to see omegas going at each other’s throats passive aggressively, just sit in on one of the meetings. Nothing gets done. Two hours later and no decisions have been made. We argued for 2 hours and concluded that we’re just going to do it the way we did it last year.

Everyone is polite…enough, though it’s really obvious it’s just to not look rude.

Nowadays, sometimes an alpha or beta parent will end up with PTA duty if their mate works instead of them. Throwing betas and alphas into the mix doesn’t magically fix everything, no, they usually either grumble or just sink into their seats in despair.

Actual duties and why it’s so stressful irl under the read more if you want to know:

If you have writer’s block because of a certain idea or passage in your story, one thing I suggest is to work with a second document for discards. Every substantial story I write is written across at least 2 documents - one “main” story, and one for notes. 

The notes document contains everything not in the main document. That’s where I throw things like deleted passages, even if it’s just half a sentence because I may figure out later that I actually said it better the first time. I also put notes or even whole scenes for later plot points there, basically ideas as they come to my head that I might want to add. It takes the pressure off the main document to know nothing gets permanently thrown away. 

It’s also a place where I can free-write if I haven’t quite come up with the right wording for something, and then I can take out the best parts and put them in the main doc. It’s a document that allows me to make mistakes without wasting my effort or time, or permanently altering the pristine “real” manuscript with a random idea that ends up not really working out.

This is pretty common writing advice but I thought I’d throw it out there for anyone who feels stuck.

[omgkatsudonplease]

this shit works i do it all the time now; btds has a notes document with my outline and deleted snippets and links to picture references and then the actual fic is in another document, 10/10 would recommend

[thewritinghole]

Amazing advice!!

[avelera]

This piece of random advice I gave on a day I was trying to psych myself up to get some writing done is one of my most reblogged posts lately. I almost didn’t post it because I thought it would be condescending to literally everyone on the planet who already knew this tip. Was pleasantly shocked to learn it was useful for many people!
