Hello, I would LOVE to pick your brain in relation to this post you made:

https://www.tumblr.com/animeomegas/718411602718851072/i-had-a-thought-what-if-himbo-alpha-katsuki

Basically, the post where you talk about a dream you had where Omegas go to a special school after regular school where it's decided if they'll be a house spouse, used for breeding, etc.

A guilty pleasure of mine is reading about, and fantasizing about stories/aus where a certain group of people are deemed more "submissive" and that determining their role in society. I really like BDSM univeres for this reason, as well as the Obey Me Pet Au.

Anyway, I would love to hear about your dream as well as your thoughts on how this society works! Like, are Omegas rare? Or are they as common as any other dynamic? How is it determined what role they take on in society? How long do they stay as the school?

Omg, yes, hello!! I would be so happy to expand on this. Tbh, I also have a guilty pleasure for those same kinds of stories, so this post is going to be a long rambling explanation of my dream and of how I imagine a system like that functioning. Also, if you want to talk about this or ideas adjacent to this, please send more asks or DM me and we can indulge in the guilty pleasure together haha. I also love BDSM AUs and the Obey Me Pet AU! @obey-me-headquarters

(Also, did you mean to attach a different post to this? Perhaps this one ?)

WARNING: This is all going to be societal level dubcon and noncon.

Okay, first things first, let me outline my dream:

The dream was sort of from Sasuke's perspective on his graduation day from omega finishing school.

He sees Itachi and his parents in the crowd watching. Itachi graduated a few years before and was sorted into a 'housewife' omega type, so he is sitting with his alpha.

Itachi is wearing a cute pink skirt and an adorable chastity cage hehe. It was clear that his alpha had complete control over his wardrobe and had chosen his outfit for the day.

Itachi is the kind of omega who found great happiness through this system and so really believes that Sasuke is going to find the same happiness at the event.

However he is wishing that Sasuke ends up in a role that allows him to still be in frequent contact with him, as some roles would allow that more than others.

Sasuke is pissed though.

He doesn't want any of this at all.

Naruto gets sorted first and gets told he's a breeding type, but a breeding type with a job. He must have at least five pups and he also run a daycare and look after other people's pups as well.

He is happy about it, and Sasuke begrudgingly agrees that it suits him, but that he himself would hate to get assigned that.

Then Shikamaru gets sorted as an 'exceptional case'. Whispers spread across the room because it was one of the rarest categories.

'Exceptional case' omegas have special skills, for example a very high intellect, and it means they get given special circumstances.

In Shikamaru's case, he must still be mated to an alpha, but he will be allowed and required to get a high powered job. He must have at least one pups, but if he doesn't want more, his alpha can't make him because it would impact his career.

He basically gets to live as a normal working member of society.

Sasuke is insanely jealous because that's the classification he wanted and is nervous because the chance of it happening twice in one graduation is incredibly slim.

Then it's his turn to be sorted.

And I either can't remember any more or I woke up at that point 😅

So how would I imagine classifications to work?

What kinds are there?

The classification list is incredibly long, but not every school offers every one ever year. It's based on what's available.

I think that omegas would be kept in their home areas, so if they live rurally, there's probably fewer classifications available to them.

The common classification types include: House spouse, breeding, public service, sex service, private service etc.

They would each have many, many subsections, for example public service could be childcare or even a teaching role at omega schools. Breeding could mean something as simple as having a specific goal for number of children, or it could mean being a professional surrogate. Sex service could mean a bunch of things from a high end style escort, to working in a brothel or in a specific household with a specific person/couple.

More rare classifications include: Exceptional cases, entertainers, full-time roleplays, specially chosen.

Exceptional cases, as mentioned, are omegas so skilled that they are more beneficial to society when they can use those skills. They aren't allowed to be unmated, but their alphas cannot force them to do certain things that other omegas might be subjected to.

Entertainers normally have lots of musical talent, or are exceptionally beautiful and good at acting, or maybe dancing of various kinds.

Full-time roleplayers fall into categories like littles, pets, etc.

Specially chosen omegas are basically bought by very powerful or rich people. Like, if the monarch or political leader picked out an omega, then they would do whatever that person wanted. This is very rare for obvious reasons.

Obviously there would be hundreds more, with so many sub categories and omegas getting a combination sorting is very common too.

How is a category decided?

I imagine it would be based on a few things. Mainly:

Physical health

Temperament

Job availability

Skills

Personal interests

Physical health: Obviously an infertile or sterile omega wouldn't be a great choice for a breeder. But in general, certain categories are more physically taxing than others, so an omega who can't do those roles for whatever reason, won't be assigned them.

Temperament: Omegas are all pushed towards certain personality traits, like being obedient and docile, but some take to it more than other. An omegas who gets into fights with staff or other omegas will be less likely to be mated. Omegas who struggle with the childcare classes won't be pushed towards roles with childcare. I imagine there are some babysitting exams for this.

Job availability: If there are no jobs for a certain category, then omegas probably won't be sorted into it. If they are really, really fit for the role, they can be moved somewhere where there are job openings.

Skills: Pretty self explanatory. What classes did the omegas get the highest marks in? Do they have any special talents?

Personal interests: This one is the most interesting in my opinion. I imagine that omegas would have personality quizzes, interviews and tests. Their teachers would definitely give statements too. But also, I imagine they'd be hooked up to things to measure their brainwaves while they're shown different roles, kinks or porn etc. So feelings of arousal or excitement are shown through brain waves and trusted much more than the omegas words.

Other comments:

I think omegas would be a bit rarer than betas and alphas, but not to an extreme degree.

Any classifications that involve getting mated, involve the finishing school and family of the omega working together to find a compatible mate.

Some already have mates lined up or are chosen by very rich or powerful people before they graduate.

A horrible system of course, but... hot in fantasy 😏🤭

Do you have any ideas about how the system would work? I'd love to here them! <3

Febuwhump 2024, Day 13- continuation of Day 10: Time & Malon (Some of the Chain)

Fandom: LOZ/Linked Univere

Summary: Time is forced to watch a memeber of his family go through the process of what Twilight went through with the Shadow, with Dark. This time though, it kills... but not who you may think.

CW: blood, injury, miscarrage (for the love of god read this warning!)

Notes: I did not proof read this afterwards... and don't come to me with hateful comments when there is literally a warning right here. If you don't like, don't read.

“No.”

Time’s hands shook as he grabbed a towel that was hanging behind him. He pressed it against her wound and apologized for the pain of it as she clutched at his shoulder and chest, holding in the pain as much as she could. Rushed footsteps coming up the stairs alerted him to his company.

“Time?” Warriors was the first one to make it to the bathroom door. The Captain was wide eyed at him, in just as much disbelief as himself. “Hyrule, we need you!”

Shaking his head no, Time forced his words to work. “It’s the same wound as Twilight’s. Open my bedroom door, hurry.” He scooped Malon into his arms in a bridal carry, keeping her head on his chest. He made sure to be careful of the door frames and walls as he made it down the hall to their room.

Warriors had already pulled back all the blankets and quilts and stood out of the way for him to get to Malon’s side of the bed where she was gently placed. She was already sweating, eyes growing distant by the second. She groaned as she was moved a little closer to the center of the bed, making Time’s heart ache more than it was.

“What do you need from us?” A voice from the door asked. It was Twilight, wringing his hands in front of himself, brows furrowed in distress for his family. All the others were tucked in the hallway behind him.

Time sent a pleading look to Warriors, his big brother, when his voice wouldn’t come out. Warriors nodded, then addressed the others. “Perimeter check first, clear the house. It is still early enough in the day that I’m sure there are some chores that haven’t been attended to. Wild, that potion you made before, see if you can remake it. After that, we just need to keep it quiet and safe. Have an ear open if they need anything.”

Majority of them left without a question. Wild grabbed Twi’s arm to pull him away and he followed.

When Warriors went to leave Time and Hyrule to help Malon, Time stopped him. “Link- please stay.” It was rare for him to call Warriors by their shared name, but it got his point across. He needed his brother with him.

“Time?” Hyrule said as he approached. “I need to be able to access the wound, but still keep her modest.”

The three of them worked quickly, Warriors helping to get Malon’s boots and socks off, Hyrule went and gathered bandages, water and a few sugar cubes while Time got his wife’s belt, waist wrap and shawl off. He pulled her shirt from her skirt, tucking it under her under the wire of her bra to keep it out of the way until he could get her into a nightgown.

Her skirt was high on her hips and too thick to keep her in. No doubt she would soon have a fever and would burn up with the layers. Getting her down to her knee length drawers and covering her up until Hyrule was ready, Time finally took in the sight of Malon’s open wound and nearly choked.

Black webbed lines laid across her left ribs, blood caked on her skin and still flowed lazily onto the bed sheets. His eyes caught something else though and it wasn’t the wound.

He pulled the covers back down some to see better, then laid his hand on her lower stomach. She was swollen with- dear goddesses above- she was carrying their child. She had their own little pup growing inside her, already big enough that she had a good sized baby bump.

Emotions swirled through his tormented mind. She was pregnant. They were going to be parents. The wound though, would it- could it- No, Malon was strong and surely their child too. But Twilight is also strong and they almost had to bury him.

“She didn’t tell you.” It sounded more like a realization for Warriors than a question.

“No and knowing her, she probably wanted it as a surprise.”

Hyrule timidly took a seat on the opposite side of the bed. “May I?” He had his hand hovering a good foot over where Time’s was. With permission granted, he laid his hand over where the baby was growing.

Time watched as Hyrule’s magic traveled through Malon’s abdomen, reaching towards the baby. Warriors placed a hand on his shoulder as a comfort, a much needed comfort. When Hyrule pulled his hand away, he smiled and removed the single tear that fell.

“He’s a strong little one. Maybe four months old.”

“He?” Time asked.

“My magic doesn’t just tell me of an injury, it shows me like an echo of what is inside: muscles, veins, nerves, organs. I saw a ‘him’.”

Time was ready to throw in the towel when it came to being a hero and just be a husband and a father, but the new expression on Hyrule’s face made him pause. “What aren’t you saying?”

Hyrule bit his bottom lip, clearly thinking over his words. “When a mother is with child and becomes injured, especially with a dangerous injury like this, her body defends itself in every way it can, even if the mother doesn’t want it to.”

“‘Rule, what are you saying?” Warriors asked, hand tightening on Time’s shoulder.

With a heavy sigh, he told them. “Malon’s body may self terminate the pregnancy due to the stress of the injury.”

‘No, no! No! I refuse to believe that she- that he- I will not believe that he will slip through our fingers before he takes a single breath!’

“I will do everything in my power to prevent that and to save them both.” Hyrule added, already pouring his life spell into Malon’s wound.

Time waited there unmoved for however long, could have been hours, before Hyrule took a deep breath, wavering slightly in his place. Time hated to say it, but Hyrule needed to rest. “Traveler, take a break.”

“No-” he yawned, “-I’m okay.”

“Itervalues like we did with Twilight.”

“But…”

“You won’t be any good to them if you drain yourself beyond what you are meant to. Lay down in the bed, get some rest.” Time left no room to argue.

“Wars, can you check on Wild and the others?” Hyrule asked as he kicked off his booth, succumbing to the needed rest his magic needed.

Warriors nodded, then turned towards Time. “Do you want the others to know what’s going on?”

“No point in hiding it.”

With Hyrule asleep, Warriors debriefing the others and Malon unconscious, Time figured he needed to listen to his own words. He tried to be as quiet as he could as he took off his bulky armor and chainmail, placing it all in the corner of the room for later. He took the chair that sat up against the wall and brought it over to the side of the bed he had been keeping post at.

Sitting, he leaned forward onto his elbows, taking Malon’s right hand into both of his. He kissed each finger tip, knuckle, the back of her hand, followed by her palm that he then laid against his unscarred cheek. Her fingers twitched against his cheek, bringing a sad smile to his lips.

‘How did it come to this?’

Knowing he couldn’t do much else than be supportive at his wife’s side, he laid his head down on the bed, right hand hand laid protectively over their son. Her right arm that he was holding, slid over his shoulders limply as he laid down, but it was still comforting and warm over him.

Days stretched on for what seemed to be months. Malon woke a few times in the first several days, coherent enough to talk, to talk about the baby and to assure the younger men in the house that she was going to be just fine. She also demanded that Hyrule didn’t work too hard for her sake, knowing good and well that he wasn’t going to listen.

The next few days it was harder for her to talk, only making little sounds. A fever hit her hard. She shivered, trying to pull the blankets over her with the little strength she had, but they couldn’t let her keep all that body heat in like she was wanting. Instead, Time offered some heat from his body, allowing her to sleep at least more comfortably.

Then Malon stopped waking up outside of her eyes opening. The wound itself was closing, but the lines were spreading. Spreading not towards her heart like they thought it would, but to her abdomen. The poison was searching for the weakest point in her body and that happened to be their son. The horror of the situation was noticed three days ago. Today… today was one of the worst days of Time’s life.

Today, Time woke to a smell in the air that reminded him of a battlefield. He checked over the wound, but it was fine. It hit him like a brick wall when he ripped the covers back.

“Hyrule!!” Time called from his open bedroom door. The sound of something breaking was followed by curses and multiple running footsteps.

Time’s hands were covered in blood, some even on his face from trying to clear his eyes of blinding tears when Hyrule, Legend, Warriors and Twilight rushed in. The last three paused at the sight. Warriors was the first to move forward to help.

Time was knelt at the side of the bed, Malon’s hand clutched in his. “I-is… Is he-?” He couldn’t get the question out.

Hyrule’s shoulders slumped forward. “She hasn’t woken up in days, we need to force feed a stamina potion into her, see if she will wake up.”

“On it!” Legend darted out of the room.

“Hyrule?” Time tried again.

“I’m sorry… I’m so sorry Time, but she miscarried. Her body didn’t have any other choice.”

“That can’t- that can’t be it. It can’t just be over. There has to be something we can do, a red potion, something!” Anything!

Hyrule shook his head. “Right now, we need to focus on saving Malon. Giving her any kind of healing would only cause the baby to be trapped inside her and that could kill her quickly.”

Time stood at full height, glaring with a snarl. “Try something anyways!” Warriors placed a calming hand on Time’s arms, but Time pulled away and grabbed ahold of the Traveler’s arm in a too tight of grip. “Save them both!”

Hyrule’s eyes were dangerous. “Get him out of here if all he is going to do is prevent me from doing what needs to be done.”

Time went to lunge for Hyrule, but Warriors forced him back, resulting in an audible crack against the Captain’s jaw. Going back for Hyrule, Time was tackled by Twilight. The younger tried to haul his ancestry away, making it to the door before Time turned on him too. Twilight readjusted his hold, getting his arms around Time’s middle from behind and slammed them both into the wall.

“Let go!”

“Can’t do that!”

“Let. GO!” Time roared, but the fight bled out of him as Legend poured the potion into Malon’s mouth. She woke with a gasp, then screamed from the pain in her core.

Time missed everything said as he slid down the wall to the floor, Twilight still holding onto him. He was curled in on himself, blood covered hands hovered in front of his face. He held his breath, trying to keep it all in. His veins bulged from his neck and forehead while his skin turned red.

Twilight had Time sitting between his legs as he pulled him closer, saying, “Let it out. Breathe and let it all out.”

Time did just that as he turned his head to Twi’s chest, gripping the young man's sleep shirt and hollered with every bottled up emotion he had suppressed since Dark attacked Malon. He never once was told that it was okay, because it wasn’t okay.

Still having tears roll down his face after an unknown amount of time, he looked up to see Hyrule holding a towel in his arms. Time straightened up, curious eyes looking at the bundle.

“I thought you might want to see him, before he- before he is properly buried.” Hyrule slowly went to his knees, transferring the too small of a baby wrapped up into Time’s arms.

“We will give you some privacy.” Twilight said, giving Time the space he needed.

Time sat there against the wall, almost scared to open the towel up. To see was to be real. He didn’t want it to be real, but he would never disrespect the dead that way. He cradled the towel in his right arm, pulling the edge back with his left. He covered his mouth as another choked sob slipped through. So tiny, not even fully developed… The father oh so softly stroked the baby’s cheek with a single fingertip.

He laid in the bed with his wife tucked into his side, child placed on both of them to hold. He spoke into Malon’s red hair. “I’m sorry… There are so many things I am sorry for. You weren’t supposed to get hurt, ever. Our adventures so rarely involve our loved ones, but I was such a fool to think this one would go by the same guidelines.”

He paused, breathing in his wife, alive and nearly healed.

“This will be my greatest regret.”

Notes: Was going to add a whole scene where Sky made a pretty engraved coffin and Time buries the baby and curses Hylia for doing this to them, but I couldn't talk myself into doing it.

Someone asked me about the bit where I said that my OC, Yellow, used to be human, so I wrote a little bit of an explanation as a short in-univeres one-shot story. I figured I'd post it here, just in case anybody else was curious.

It was a calm night, just like all nights so far had been. The campfire crackled softy, sparks landing on wet wood, heat stealing away the water until it too would burn. The fire didn’t really need more wood, but Yellow kept adding small sticks anyway. He liked the soft crackling. After spending so much time with Red, it was comforting. This place was nice, this world was peaceful. It had long nights and short days, there was always rain at dawn, and the dew that laid itself down at dusk was thick enough that everything got just as wet as during the dawn showers. The family had lingered here longer than they needed to, but it was always best to move slower when traveling with outsiders, less chance of getting separated that way. Yellow had asked Red a few days ago if anything was wrong when he had seen his brother smiling sadly at the pre-dawn light. It was almost a longing expression. Red had simply said that the place had reminded him of home. They had many homes, across many worlds, many safehouses and bases and places with people who cared about them, but Red wasn’t talking about any of those. In the soft rain of sunrise, as his brother let himself get thoroughly soaked, there was really only one place he could have been talking about. The home he grew up in. Yellow had heard him and Greed and Blue talk about the place, about the family they used to have, before everything. Yellow had just put his hand on his brother’s shoulder and watched the sunrise with him. None of the family had that sort of home anymore. They always said they didn’t need it, they had each other and that was enough. And that was true, most of the time, but in the soft and quiet moments, especially if you were alone, memories always seemed to seep in, just like the evening dew. That was how this whole place felt. Calm, peaceful, and absolutely soaked in memories. It was a waypoint between here and there.

Perhaps that is why, when one of their traveling companions asked about his past, he answered, the memories already heavy on his mind. Anyway, these travelers had just lost everything. Their home had been destroyed in the war, and this place likely wouldn’t do them any good, making them remember everything they had so recently lost. It was hard enough for Yellow, who had lost everything so long ago. They had said they heard he used to be something else, a wingless creature. They had yet to enter a world not ruled by the winged, and so he told them of humans. Him and his siblings showed them their alternate forms. The travelers thought they seemed tiny and very squishable, but conceded that the idea of thumbs was rather appealing. Yellow warned them not to underestimate any species they may meet just because they looked smaller or weaker. Yew told them of his home, of trains and cars, of planes, how the wingless had conquered the skies. He told them of spaceships and faraway planets that they had sent probes to investigate. Then they asked what happened, why wasn’t he with his people who made such things? The answer was painfully simple, his people were gone. The world he grew up in was gone, one of the war’s earliest causalities. They understood, they had just lost everything too. They expressed their sorrow, and he did the same for their loss. That’s the polite thing to do, even if there is very little words alone can do to heal such deep wounds.

Then one of the children asked something else. How was it then, if he grew up in a world with humans, that he was a winged one?

“Well,” Yellow said, “There were also winged in our world, although we didn’t call them that.”

They deduced that he must have been winged all along and they misunderstood. But no, Yellow corrected them that had understood, but he traded away his human self for scales and wings long ago. That the winged had a very special ability, to transform others into one of them, to give them the gift of the sky, but it is not simple, and it is not easy. It is a process that changes your very soul. You have to be willing to give up everything you are, everything you care about. You have to want to change with your whole heart, and after his world was taken, Yellow had agreed to these conditions easily. He didn’t have anything left to give up, it was just him. Agreeing was almost too easy, the desire for revenge so strong. That burning drive had cooled a long time ago now. Now he had his new family, he had people he cared about, a new life, he just wasn’t human anymore, his other form a memory of who he once was.

“But don’t you still want revenge? To kill the ones who took it all away?” the visitors asked, and Yellow paused. After a moment staring into the fire, he broke a twig off of the log he was sitting on, tossing it into the fire.

“Not really.”, was the quiet answer he gave. He told them about how over time, as he met more people, the desire for revenge, to kill the enemy, morphed into a desire to protect the ones he cared about, to shelter who he could, to prepare those that would be fighting, to act as any good leader should. Revenge could only get you so far until it left you feeling hollow and empty.

“Which is why,” he told them, with the tone of a promise, “I will make sure you make it through this alive.”

And with the weight his words seemed to carry, they believed him.

Okay wait I have a prompt!!! If you wanna

So I've been reading a lot of fics recently that are in space aus, with the whole humans are deathworlders concept (idk how this is common across my fandoms but it is so I'm binging them lol). And I had an idea based on recent irl events.

The sides are in one of these aus, you can do whatever you want species wise HOWEVER, two of them are human. Neither speak Common (univeral language) particularly well, and it would also be funny if they both spoke English as a second language, so it's like a double language barrier. Human A is double jointed (whereever, I'm thinking fingers (finger tips and those middle joints specifically) bc that's where I'm doible jointed but it doesnt matter too much) and just kind of casually does something that you can't really do if you aren't double jointed. The alien sides are confused and a little concerned, but they aren't exactly experts in human anatomy so they figure it is probably okay given how Human A hasn't reacted. Human B (who is slowly becoming Virgil in my mind haha), however, freaks out because "what the fuck your hands should not bend that way??????" Now everyone is panicked, and Human A doesn't remember the English word, let alone the Common word, so he kind of tries to butcher an explanation that's not really at all comforting. Idk eventually he figures out how to explain it in English enough for Human B to figure out what's going on, he calms down significantly and while neither human knows how to explain to their alien friends what exactly is happening, they can tell them that Human A isn't hurt.

Brought to you by me stretching my fingers too far in band on accident and my sectionmates freaking out because apparently none of them have heard of double-jointedness, it was really funny haha

for sure

I'm from Asia, and the overwhelming majority of us would straight-up not date white people. Some ethnicities are more likely to date out than others, but overall we're good, no thanks. Women who do date white foreigners tend to be levelling up economically (no judgement there from me) which is a well-known fact. While there is definitely white colonialist beauty standards at play in the majority of places, I have lots of experience with the corners that bs hasn't reached (Nepal, for a generally big example, where they love dark skin and certain features) - and even within the spaces where European-centric standards do apply, the majority of non-white people aren't interested in dating actual white people as a first choice. It has nothing to do with white people's racism or disinterest in non-white people lol. I don't know about the Middle East of course, but I think your experiences of Asia seem limited to the more English-speaking, cosmopolitan areas perhaps - or maybe you are talking about Japan, which I am not familiar with personally. However even in Korea I have a white friend (born there) who can't get a boyfriend because- in her words- men there sort foreigners as "fun times only" and local women as "marriage material". It's a bit ridiculous to think that billions of non-white people are genuinely thirsting over white people, it's simple not true - most people prefer to date within their race. Lots of people do feel attraction to white people, for the reasons you outlined or naturally as well, but your experience does not seem univeral (outside the Western sphere). It was kind of bizarre at first to come across this thinking in Western spaces but now it's just deeply agitating, because I notice non-white people in Western countries really do act like they're less attractive and it's insane to me. Like sorry, but here in my part of the world, certain Asian features on women are considered the height of beauty among these communities (to the point where that's problematic in and of itself). Definitely white beauty standards have wormed their way here too, but again, it didn't change most Asians' sexual preferences - it just made them look for those features in their own (not everyone, but most - yes some people would date white).

interesting… my experience has been the exact opposite. while i know some people would not marry a white person, they’re still the standard of beauty and marrying a white person can be almost a status symbol & people do act like dating them means you’ve won somehow. this applies for the middle east and i know similar standards exist in south & east & southeast asia. my gf explained the same type of phenomena exists in taiwan and neighbouring east asian countries & ive observed similar mindsets around white ppl being considered the most beautiful among south asians and west asians overall.

i’m not referring to english-speaking cosmopolitan areas either, i’m thinking of countries like the philippines and india and pakistan and basically the entirety of the middle east. admittedly i’m not familiar with nepal tho— it’s interesting to hear they prefer dark skin there, which is in contrast to the rest of asia in which colourism is very prominent.

i did notice white people are generalised as more of a “fun time” thing in many cases but people will still not look down on you for marrying a white person & shun you for it the way they would for marrying a black person, for example. the people generally think white people are the most appealing but often prioritise marrying people of similar backgrounds for the sake of cultural and familial standards.. not bc white people are deemed unattractive in asia. in fact, the whiter you are, the more beautiful you are deemed.

#felt like parts of what u wrote seemed quite dismissive of my experience #and made it seem like bahrain is an english cosmopolitan place #anyways it seems like ur using marriage as the standard when i’m talking about beauty standards #features like pale skin larger eyes double eyelids long noses long faces light/coloured eyes and blonde hair etc are deemed more beautiful #ie features associated with europeans. this is the case for asia in general #people will prefer more white-passing ppl within our countries bc it’s the closest u can get to white ppl without upsetting ur family #a lot of the time at least. but what do i know 😭 i only grew up being berated by people from different parts of asia for being visibly brown

This is the Roman 10:2 argument for full employment of full time academic researhers

This is ony a half truth. Paul was a rabbi and devoted to explication of the Hebrew scriptures and in the "wrestling with God" of the Jewish culture. And, even with Dan McClellan, my peronsl experience of the literature of the bible is enriched by their commentary.

But the Gospels. in particular, have always been the most available of all the scriptures, intentionally, and the Holy SPirit is in every word therein,

[ersonally, I have always taken the Bible for granted. Personally, I am not interested in Jesus. I'm not indifferent to Him, but He remains opaque. Only His behavior is directly available and His mind to the degree the Roman spies and His companions on the road have captured His spoken word, And His voice is very clear and distinct from those around Him, including the various narrators. From my perspective, reading the sviptures, generally, is like pulling divine dental floss through your mind: it has a cleaansing effect and you don't really need me nor Dan McClellan to interpret the music and harmonics of the narrative.

At the same time, the Bible is meant to be discoused, That is the nature of the communion of the saints, The root of "religion" is "ligament" as in the ligaments that attache the bones in your body together, "Religion" means to "re-ligament' the trime of humanity to a common pont of departure that has been carerlly and spirtually conceived to capture the mythos as it slid by along the common epistemological rope of Time acros the Tabula Rasa of the presenting cultural Space Unlike the Grecco Roman lepics, which tries to swallow every moment whole, the narrative of the Bible,

from start to finish, a singular Figure like the clay pigeon flying across the Field of a skeet range, And that Figure is like the singularity of the Big Bang: as you unpack it, an entire univeres will be created in your mind and you guide in this process is the Holy Spirit.

Not, the difference between the Post Modern Literary Deconstrucion I employ at a beginners level and the Post Modern Historical Deconstruction of most of the dominate biblican scholarship characteristic of Dan McClellan and others like the Jesus Seminar and Campus Crusade for Christ, the literary version makes the whole universe around the clay pigeon of the gestalt avalable to you while the historic version begins with the pigeon after it has bee struck by the shot and fallen to the ground and the Field through which it flew lost. Like I say, the historic method is like Jimmy Tabor scrapping through the shit of the latrines of Qumran tyring to reproduce the Hallelujah Chorus. It is far simpler and efficasous to begin with the Hallejujah Corurs and start backwards. from John 11:35, the moment when BCE becomes CE, as a practical matter, Everything in the Bible harmonizes with that moment. There waas no Greenwich Mean Time, but there was the Cross and the clock raan down to zero at that pong and began again 2024 years ago minus 70 years.

McClellan is half right and that half right part is valuable, expecially when you use the tools of literture to supply the complete model. McClellan is a Momrom apologist in the same way Shabir Alley is a Muslim apologist and Jimmy Tabor and Bart "Giggles' Ehrman are Marxist apologists. McClellan presents himself as the Dr, Spock of biblical scholarship with his "cognitive liguistcs" analysis of the data, but I'm reading the same data and I;ve been doing cognitive liguaistics a lot longer than he has, It isn't that his charactization of the sata is wrong, it is that the conclusions he arrives at have a Mormon bias And Jummy Tabor's axiom that "Harmonization is the enemy of the Truth" comes right out of Marxism, And McClellan's declaration that there is no meaning to the Bible falls into this category,

Here's my advince for getting the biggest bank for the buck out of all these commentators, including Shabir Alley and his ilk: start with the tirangulation of the King james Bible, Handel's Messiah and Milton's Paradise Lost. Start with Messiah and dabble in the other two so that your unconscious can grok them in fulness. In this regards, the KFV is the Druid harmonization of the various Greek and other translations avaible at the time and N.T. Wright is the formost Druid interpreter of Pauline Theology, He doesn't know it, but I'll vouch for him

The second element is the Parable of the Prodigal Son, Luke understood Christianity better than Paul did and its all summed up in the Prodigal Son, It is a recasting of the Odywwey and when you get to the part where the Father spots the Prodigal Son from afar and rushes down to embrace him, go on YouTube and watch a couple videos of the joy of Irish Setters when their soldier masters return from a deployment, That's the meaning of Elohim the One's desired relationship with you, peronally, as an individual.

And, thirdly, read the Bible backwards from John 11:35: Jesus wept. The narrative claims that He was weeping for Lazarus, but only sympathetically for Matha and, especially, Mary, Go listen to "He was dispised' form Messiah: that is Mary's response to His safe arrival,

But in terms of the literatue of the Bible, everything that ahppens from Genesis 1:1, all the drama and tragedy and tirumpy and grief and celbration that occurs before Mark 1:1 comes down to that moment. Ahd He is weeping for Himself.

Jesus is the Jihad Messiah and He hwas jsut been ordered by Yaweh, Queen of Battle, through the operation of the Holy Spirit, to put on His suicide belt and walk into the middle of of the Gentile's Court of the Temple and blow up the Whore of Babylon, as describe in Revelation, All the shit that McClellan and the other biblical sclarars insist is of the essence comes down to that momen when BCE turns to CE.

And that is the frame of mind He is in when he whitehers the fig tree on the way to cleanse the Temple.

It's the Greatest Story ever told.

I used to pick up on all of the clever things people to subtly get across to me, but something in me changed and I hate the subtlty now. I see it somewhat as an extention of sarcasm.

I'm on all the dating apps and people will ask me "where are you from" I'm not FROM around here. These people often intend to ask me where i live. In response to all this, i usually tell them "i think you didnt ask the question you intended. I'm from Germany". I think that asking people to clarify in a very direct way IS very univerally accepted. Just as they will choose to be vague, I will choose to be direct. None can fault anyone in any of this. In your case, I think asking if your friend wants to play a video game will adress the question and they can clear up the confusion :) And asking anyone if they're flirting with you if you're not sure is totally fine! If it is a misunderstanding, it might be a little funny and awkward.

People who insist on subtlety are just wrong. "explaining the joke ruins it" wrong. i like hearing almost every joke explained and i dont think it makes em worse. It will only ruin a joke that is mean or bad. And flirting if someone thinks that asking would ruin flirting... well consider how that flirting they dont want to ruin would go if the person they're flirting with was confused! They wouldnt want that.

Communication is about being on the same page/wavelength/understanding as other people. You should always ask as many questions as you need to. Nobody wins when you remain confused.

with communication skills and stuff I really do try like I cannot pick up on certain social hints like if someone is like "this would be better if a video game was here" like I don't really know what to say I'm like okay that's a good situation idea that you thought of? And then nothing will happen unless it is revealed that you were asking to play a video game? Like I would have an easier time with "can we play a game together" direct kind of wording? But is there a rule where that direct is "rude" ? and I don't know I wish people were more direct even if it was rude I would prefer it over like...a new puzzle for my brain to solve .. like I kinda wish it was more normal for people to be like "hello can I have attention?" like just asking for attention like that but I see people say "asking for attention" in a derogatory way like it's a bad thing but I actually like it when people do it so directly... because it's like okay there is a question I can say yes or no that is way easier ... Don't even get me started on "flirting" when people flirt with me I really really will never pick up on it I I will never understand what flirting is or pick up on hints that people are into me and it makes me so confused I almost want to be asking "is this flirting?" To every single mundane interaction but that would be extremely weird ... Anyway yeah does anyone relate?
