hi here are my author's notes for the horrible a/b/o fic im about to post. happy holidays everyone <3

REVISED DEC 22, 2025: okay in my laziness when initially posting their fic, I realise I may have given an explanation of omegaverse that misrepresents the genre so I did some editing below. the key takeaway of the changes that there's nothing really inherent to omegaverse other than (1) who is able to get pregnant, and (2) who gets heats/ruts. gender dynamics that then follow usually are determined by authorial intent more than anything else. one additional revision I'm making is stating what my authorial intent is.

to summarize omegaverse: in a/b/o, everyone has a secondary gender or sex (dependent on the story) in addition to the standard genders of the real world (male, female, non-binary, etc). the secondary a/b/o presentations come with the following biological features:

alphas (usually) have dicks, which also almost always have knots; they go into ruts during which they can get very territorial and sexually aggressive. alphas usually have no or very limited ability to get pregnant, but they are easily able to get other people pregnant.

omegas can take knots; they go into heats during which they will experience physical pain and fever if they don't get knotted; they are super fertile and it is very easy for them to get pregnant when in heat. it's a common trope that when in heat, omegas will get so desperate for a knot that they will accept any alpha around them.

betas don't get heats or ruts; their body parts are generally left unspecified. usually they are nowhere near as fertile as omegas, if at all.

because of these biological features, most omegaverse narratives are characterized by gender dynamics revolving around (1) reproduction and (2) dubious consent - this is the case especially if you've ever read f/f or m/m omegaverse. often, there is a lot of in-universe gender-based discrimination and gender-based violence that maps onto real world misogyny, for example:

alphas are expected to occupy a role similar to super dominant men irl—they’re usually in leadership roles or combat roles, have a lot of social capital and usually physical strength. they are socially expected to find an omega mate.

omegas are expected to occupy a role similar to super submissive women irl—they are usually in very socially passive roles, their bodies are often subject to (reproductive) control by alphas, and they typically experience a lot of gender-based violence. they are socially expected to find an alpha mate.

betas don't tend to have remarkable social standing, and usually they are expected to pair up with other betas.

in perfume, these gender roles are very prevalent in the narrative, but I need to make it clear that they are about as bullshit as real-world gender roles. in this fic in particular, they are supposed to imitate a very severe, exaggerated form of traditional (east asian) gender essentialism in real life because it parallels zanka's struggle with traditional (east asian) values. accordingly, it is an integral part of the narrative that both zanka and the reader subvert their gender expectations (resulting in the accidental queer-coding described below lol)

zanka feels inadequate as a beta as a nijiku scion and eventual hell guard; he was expected to be an alpha since that's synonymous with social and physical dominance. him being a beta is seen as weakness. this of course parallels real life, traditional ideals of masculinity—and that's not a coincidence! his upbringing in canon has the subtext of a certain type of east asian conservatism (filial piety, intense academic pressure, and spartan training/implied corporal punishment), and kamuatari district overall imo carries the subtext of being very politically conservative (they are dominated by police…). so it kinda naturally fit in with his background, to me, to have him be raised with these traditional notions of a/b/o gender. he of course doesn't really buy into them—but he’s still internalized them because of his upbringing, and it's part of his inferiority complex. 

*****SPOILERS HERE*****

incidentally, it was pretty intentional when I wrote the reader as not fitting into these traditional gender norms at all. she is not very submissive in disposition nor social standing (she works as a Cleaner!) and she would probably stab any alpha who came near her during a heat. I also accidentally made her kinda queer coded SGNELFJSKS. not sure if people will catch it, but she's heavily implied to be almost exclusively o4o (has fucked only omegas – and she is usually very dominant/territorial in those relationships lmaglksdldk), and her attraction to zanka (a beta) is not seen as normal in-universe. conversely, his attraction to her is actually not conventional either. 

after zanka presents as an alpha, the reader’s attraction to him is incidental: she doesn't enjoy getting railed and knotted by him because he's an alpha; she enjoys getting railed and knotted by him because he's zanka. zanka himself is kind of interesting in terms of his gender here; he isn't really comfortable with his gender as a beta or as an alpha. rather than explicit queer coding, I intended this as a symptom of his discomfort with traditional norms in general, which have really damaged him. that said I don't really think their relationship progression feels like standard alpha/omega comphet fantasy per the genre... iykyk. you can interpret that as you will LOL

So, Ghost King Danny Phantom interacting with the Justice League. Who he completely outclasses.

I've seen people have him chew out or even punch Clark over the whole Kon situation.

But I want to see him chew out Dr. Fate for holding people hostage. Fuck that guy. Rip the helmet off and BEGONE!

hello elodie. please enjoy this high expression of grass fandom in the form of an entire chapter on cricket pitch grass : link dot springer dot com / chapter / 10.1007 / 978-981-99-2913-9_6 what do you think the funniest alternative cricket pitch groundcover would be

Article here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-981-99-2913-9_6

This was published in Springer Transactions in Civil and Environmental Engineering. The article's abstract starts off with a completely new series of words:

One of the main reasons for a fast and bouncy wicket is uniform, deep-rooted grass growth in turf pitches. 

It has long been understood that academic language makes all things preternaturally serious, and writing in this style conveys things with accuracy and precision. It is also well-known that any description of cricket, whether oral or written, is almost impossibly silly. Writing about cricket in academic terms instantly creates a sort of battery-acid cocktail! The "fast and bouncy wicket" spontaneously reacts with the seriousness of the premise, and curdles, instantly. I think everyone should drink this.

After reading the abstract alone I genuinely can't recommend another plant for cricket pitches. The considerations are hyper-intersectional, they're intersectional on dimensions I can't even comprehend, there are factors reaching into the seventh dimension of spacetime. We have to consider so many factors: pace, bounce, spring, tension, wickets, stickiness. I can talk about rhizomes, but I am utterly undone by cricket. You can explain to me the difference between a googly and a doosra as a form of psychological torture and I will simply look up at you, like a weasel in a trap, saying back to you, "I will escape from this and learn nothing." What other groundcover should we plant for cricket pitches? I am already gone. I am leaving. I have evaporated from this place by transposing my molecules. I think we should pave cricket pitches in trampoline material
