My toxic trait is that I am far more interested in the socio-economic and geopolitical implications of ABO settings than the smut.

For example: I can't read any ABO AUs set in England or France because while I can suspend my disbelief far enough for a gender trinary set up, I can't suspend it enough to believe those two countries would still be distinct entities in a alternate history where Richard the Lionheart could have impregnated Philip II.

If there was a viable dynastic future with Richard, Philip would have climbed him like an oak and dragged him to the altar if he had to. It's a match that makes perfect sense from both their points of view: Philip gets Aquitaine back under French rule, the best general in Europe on his council, and a powerful check on the Angevins... then unexpectedly (after Henry the Young bites it) the entire Kingdom of England for his Capetian dynasty. Richard meanwhile gets to stick it to his father, secure Aquitaine's prosperity, and gets the leverage to start pushing for his mother's release. Then when Henry kicks the bucket Richard doesn't actually have to be King of England in anything but name: Philip can run the countries and unify the Crowns and what not while Richard runs off to go Crusading.

Plus they also like, loved each other and stuff and being able to get to be together long term instead of being torn apart by politics would have been cool. But I'm mainly obsessed with the historical and dynastic implications.

All this to say any ABO au set in England or France that doesn't have them united as a singular Anglo-Frank empire is doing it wrong.

I congratulate myself for finishing a fic, I go to post it, and then, the insurmountable hurdle:

you are one of the "son boy allowed" lesbian moms?? your deco is very regularly referenced among my friends and I!! you are a celebrity!! I hope you know how much dialogue you have changed for queers young and old on the internet, particularly x and tumblr. thank you for your service 🫡

fun story: my mom is actually the one who made the sign. she was in town for our baby shower and we were laughing about the "no boys allowed" sign and she was like "wait, hold on," switched the letters around, and voila! son boy allowed.

she used to work at a university library. her job was mostly helping students learn how to access and utilize the online resources held by the library. she was helping a student get into their account once and needed to know their password. when the student told her the pw was "son boy allowed" my mom, who is not hip to queer meme culture, said, "oh! do you know my daughter?"

and that's how she learned her silly joke was legendarily famous in certain online circles.
