Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.
Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.
Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

Thinking abt an omegaverse au where instead of being taboo in polite society, scents are more like extentions of social communication. An autistic person who doesn't "emote" with their scent properly, or keeps missing communication cues, especially flirting, bcs they can smell when scents change but can't quite connect the differences to emotions or intentions
Thoughts on my first ever video edit?? I’m serving up a steaming pile of Gavries with some side of Bakerson—we’ve got Stebbins mirroring Parker and a little bit of Rank x Barkovitch all covered in angst and toxic masculine endurance. I adore it set to The Distance by Cake! I’ve been brewing this idea for months since I saw the Cars edit to this song and I’m fully obsessed with the outcome! I hope everyone else loves it as much as I do!
Thinking about a world where the boys didn’t walk. They weren’t picked, they dropped out, they were waitlisted and enough people stayed in.
Imagining Stebbins walking past Garratys house to get an early seat by the road. Pete and Hank locking eyes on the bus. Gary watching Harkness get interviewed as a bystander at the walk.
In another life they knew each other. In another life they lost. Somehow I’d like to think they all kinda know that.
it's insane to me that donnie donahue doesn't have more hype like okay mr gorgeous brown eyes big ass muscles loving father and husband who shows up and gets his job done well ily. and goddd the "death and chaos" tattoo after pittfest and then the "miracles and blessings" after his daughter was born ohhh crying donnie donahue they cannot handle your empathetic well adjusted soul genuinely one of the most likable people on this show
okay so laying the groundwork... in #my perfect a/b/o world, omegas are more aggressive and animalistic than alphas. it makes sense biologically. they have to protect their nests and their children. they have to fend off advances from alphas bigger and stronger than them. they have to defend themselves during their heats, and so get significantly more animalistic and feral during them. they're territorial and fight other omegas somewhat often. they have sharper, more obvious fangs. they have more fangs than alphas do. their claws are sharper and more pronounced. a mating bond is only sealed once the omega bites back. alphas are still technically "higher" than they are, but omegas are primed to take one down if they need to and for the most part dont fear them.
NOW FOR THE STARKOVITCH OF IT ALL.
all that so say... barko biting stebbins while he's in heat and growling if he tries to pull away. barko hissing and snarling and gnashing his teeth at people. barko whos an abnormally aggressive omega and, even after theyre mated, makes stebbins fight him and overpower him before he lets him into his nest when he's in heat. stebbins having a few scars from where barko was too lost in the sauce and took out a small chunk of skin.
like i need barko resource guarding stebbins.
i just love aggressively possessive omega barko. the way i see it, omegas are the protectors and alphas are the providers. barko is very defensive when it comes to stebbins, and stebbins wants to give barko whatever he wants/needs.
barko makes sure stebbins has visible scratch or bite marks at all times. the mating bite isnt enough for him. he needs stebbins covered in proof that he's taken or he'll go insane. its worth mentioning that stebbins is ALL FOR IT, despite the fact that he's walking around looking like he's been mauled most of the time. the only time stebbins is the more possessive and aggressive one is when another alpha tries to come onto barko OR when he's in rut, at which point he gets strong enough and aggressive enough to be entirely in control.
also, stebbins can just Tell when barko's heat is coming. its something in his scent, something so minor no one but his mate would even be able to detect it. obviously yes, he gets a lot more aggressive and his hackles are raised constantly, but this is even before that starts. stebbins just Knows. barko's normal vanilla and teakwood scent gets a smokey tint to it, and sometimes its so strong that stebbins gets the bitter taste of pouring straight vanilla concentrate down his throat. literally he has to just,,, australian shepherd that shit and herd barko back to their house and make sure he stays there, otherwise he'll end up in yet another fight.
idk i just like them and think they're neat and also am not normal about omegaverse, so here we are...
my personal omegaverse vision is lowkey kind of inspired by lions in terms of hierarchy tbh, and starkovitch just,,, are lions to me. like,,, everyones always talking abt black cat and golden retriever and whatnot with their ships but NAH. starkovitch are lions. #ToMe
also, i know this might sound corny but like.... please be nice to other people online. not even trying to say this in a like a, 'oh because you never know what they might be going throughhhh' kind of way just like. be nice man. stop hate following along with things. be more patient with strangers. stop trying to get off cunty one liners for your five seconds of smirking like a dreamworks poster protag.
ive said it before but as a tool and a 'place', i really love the internet, genuinely. i dont like the resignation that it has to be, and stay, a place thats full of misery and fighting. ive met a lot of really wonderful people here, and i think we could all have a nice time together if everyone did their part to make it so that was possible. im not speaking down to you as someone whos never made these mistakes, im asking as someone whos also made them alongside you.
