I have never in my life seen a fandom distort a character so much, and it is not only embarrassing, it is incomprehensible. Marius is not, and has never been violent in any way. Marius has always been a man of reason, a vampire who places dialogue and confrontation as the supreme form of expression and understanding. Marius is a scholar not a warrior. He hates any kind of violence, and he has never abused his immense power, and again this is what Anne writes about him. Even the humans in his service were paid, like people doing work inside his palace, and with some of them he even formed a friendship, which is quite different from the mind control, forced that Armand imposes on the humans who are in his service, making them zombies. Do I judge Armand for this? No it is in his character and nature, and he is a vampire. I mean I don't know what the heck is going on but somehow it hurts to see the fandom in this condition.

one of my favorite things to play around with, in omegaverse? changing what something "usually" means.

family = parents and biological children in a shared household?

not any more its not!

family = a group of friends who share a house together like they have for years, even after forming partnerships with others or having kids

family = a queer platonic couple, the kids they adopted (despite being able to procreate together if they wanted to), and the neighbors that are like siblings to them

family = three generations of parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who might as well be family, who rally around each other in good times and bad

family = two lifelong best friends who went from playing together as kids, to raising families, to growing old, while becoming the cornerstones of their neighborhood

family = one big old polycule spread across multiple households, and the assortment of kids who have called them aunties and uncles from day one

family = a happily single person, their pets, and the network of friends that they feel safe going to whenever problems are bigger than one person should carry

family = a couple, their newborns, the siblings who help out, and the grandparents who are first in line to babysit

family = a single parent, their kids, and a very robust support network

family = a group of people who care about each other but aren't compatible when it comes to sharing a home, being very supportive - just from a distance - with or without other elements

and the fun thing is, you can slot any type of person into these setups!

make the two best friends look like the default "boy meets girl" rom-com pairing but with zero sexual tension.

make the people who sound like the most stereotypical suburban family, incredibly queer visually.

want your packs to be multi-generational households by default? go for it!

want to explore belonging beyond the nuclear family or the quest to create one? sure thing!

it gets even more interesting based on the social positions of the six sexes.

(in my head: primary sex = alpha, beta, omega. secondary sex = male, female. to keep from having to list them all, its "six sexes" but in some settings there can be more or less)

for example: what if there's a society that separates alphas and omegas as a general practice? it's the task of all omegas to run the towns and villages and see to their defense; alphas, on reaching presentation, are trained to watch over the land and tend to the region as a whole. if the two groups tend to mix mostly with those they share a classification with, how do their family groups appear?

or what if the society is arranged less like our human ones, and more like specific animal groups? if your packs operate more like a bee hive, how does that change their view of family, future generations, and group membership?

basically: there are lots of types of families, even irl, so making packs unique is more fun to me than going "parents and their kids" despite that being the most accurate to actual wolf pack structures

(though, since that structure isn't super typical to how we show families in media, i do kinda want to explore an established one! just not super interested in the "couple meets and raises their first baby" part because there's already a lot of focus on that as what "happily ever after" looks like. i want to get into how the following generation finds meaning and sets goals without doing as their parents did)

The way Till looked genuinely pissed off because of Ivan but he’s not mean about it. Just thinking. The fact that he didn’t just say fuck off right then and there when Ivan asked him for a kiss, but he instead worked around it, as if after realizing Ivan was actually serious he said this as an attempt to pacify Ivan. because even though we get the irony here, it does look like Till trying to ‘let him down easy.’

Even his internal dialogue is harsh, but he doesn’t voice it.

And when Ivan starts whining and getting in his space again, Till doesn’t bother pressing it and just lets Ivan sulk, as if he’s simply handling a pouty child. Like he’s used to it and just letting it be, it doesn’t mean he liked it but Till really wasn’t trying to hurt Ivan.

(even more unsurprising how no punches were thrown, again. Till can only be provoked into acting that way, had this been Ivan’s perspective I’m sure this situation would have looked a lot more narrow-minded)

One part of several of a BWW centric fic (finally lol) but it can also be read as its own thing, bc I wanted to think more about how Lance feels in the time right after Balan is created (also under the read more since the pictures crop it out, minor TW for slight injury)

Lance. 

It would have been a lovely name for anyone else. He practiced his new name often, repeating it in his mind again and again while he fumbled through a new set of nightly rituals. Lance. One repetition of the name for each stroke of his hairbrush, surely that would do it.

Already he’d neglected himself too much, the soft bristles of the brush doing little to assuage the dense, angry tangle of hair that was forming against the back of his neck. His hair was longer now than it had ever been as Balan, and already proving itself to be unmanageable, though he had little hope that cutting it off would bring any satisfaction— a rejection of self, it would have probably grown back to the very same length by the next day, and twice as thick just to spite him.

Speaking of— the brush struggled in the midst of a particularly complex knot before he raked it through, taking out quite a few dull, gray strands with it, twisted around each other to the point of being inseparable. 

The cast members, even Aster, had no problem with the name; to them, there may as well have never been a change at all. It was almost frightening, the speed at which he’d been stripped of the name he’d carried and been called by for over 3,000 years, but that was the unspoken norm of the theatre and its use of names: there was Balan— the Balan, the maestro, the leader— and now there was Lance. He had been Balan and now he was Lance. Lance. 

And if the repetition couldn’t work he knew there were other ways to learn his name— by the way every room died the moment he walked in, how his former crew stopped their dance, brought their joyful song down to a hushed whisper and could only stare and look to Balan, left with his unknowing, innocent smile, once Lance came upstairs to the main stage. How even the theatre itself slammed doors on him.

The brush had gotten him nowhere. He tore at the matted hair with his hands, unflinching even as pain spread over his scalp— if this was what it took to get his hair under control, then so be it, because it would look just like it used to even if he had to rip out each and every bit of silver day after day, again and again—

“…Lancie?”
