#im no omegaverse expert... but is this actually...?? normal around here???

[kannawandering]

been getting into turning these days... (6)

In the chapter like 603? 604? Anyway. Yuder's heat is #approaching. #scary. but I found it was a good time to talk about the omegaverse.

(I'm not used to omegaverse settings and trying to make sense of what I understood. Bear with me.)

One thing that I find pretty insane about the way the omegaverse is set up in Turning (outside of the fact that it's completely new to their world) gotta be the second gender manifestation.

Because what do you mean it can happen at literally any point or moment in your life without warning signs as long as you're an Awakener???

It also depends on absolutely NOTHING at all...?? Can happen at the exact moment you awakened or several years after???

You just starting having these fevers and:

if you're lucky you'll kind of know in advance because of awakeners around you guessing that you have this odd fevers these days, and can prepare for it.. (pretty cavalry exclusive) (you are God's favourite) Sick for a while and good to go! Awesome life!

If you're unlucky, the manifestation js kinda happens randomly in a day of your life, no warning signs, and you're cooked...?? Can be worse if it was a big occasion. You could be just baking a cake or in the middle of a life-defining fight. The Red Stone's powers don't discriminate. Fuck you I guess. I hope your boss won't fire you for missing 1 week of work without any prior notice.

If you're even more unlucky and you're one of the people who don't get this passive fever over 1 week but one of the people who go through all the changes and pain in 2-3 days, fuck you too I guess? You randomly feel violently sick, find yourself in unbearable amounts of pain and since it kinda happens anytime you could be alone, in the middle of the nowhere bc you went to pick up herbs for your dinner soup. Like this was totally needed.

You could also be one of the 1st people who ever got their secondary gender and you knew even less than people do now, so you just feel insanely ill, and you don't really know why?? Are you gonna die from some new, unknown illness nobody can save you from??? Not really. But how can you know that? Don't worry, though! It can, in fact, get worse if points 2 and 3 are added in. Y'all also get fucked.

Think about Kishiar's second gender manifestation where he tried to straight up commit (well he didn't actually do it and discovered that he is actually the Chosen One™ (by the Sword of Orr) in the process. All's well and ends well I guess.) While his circumstances were specific, many other Awakeners must have thought these were their last days too 😭

There's even more specific, worst-case scenarios like... honestly, Yuder's 1st second gender manifestation. It felt like someone up there had this massive, personal beef with him and js set him up to be in the worst possible situation bc fuck that guy too I guess. what the hell.

This is way longer than anticipated.
