Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

OF COURSE FUCKING NOT! -- Urianger: Thous sweareth? Thancred: Every damn day. -- Ilberd: HEY, WATERS! LOOKS LIKE WE GOT THE CHOCOBOS! Thancred: HEY, FEARE!

I rest my case here 😌

I'd like to take a moment to both shout out and offer a question to those who see this. I am familiar with A/B/O fanfiction.

HOWEVER, I recently saw a fic that described a 27 year old omega as geriatric. That's not a normal thing or is that the author being fucking weird?

I was genuinely floored and have never seen this before. Can anyone explain?

…So it goes. If you would not forsake me, then of course you would not forsake him. And so…neither can I. He is a fool, but he is our little fool.

I also appreciate the storytelling of Zenos taking the form of Shinryu again to chase after the WoL.

Because it has long been established that Midgardsormr flew from the Dragonstar to Etheirys. Dragon flew through the universe, passing multiple worlds, to get to one that still had abundant life. Because, at that point, most of the worlds were dead. And Midgardsormr could make that trip because dragons aetherical density is fucking staggering and their scales and eyes are full of it. That's why we have the whole Vrtra scales protecting against aetherical corruption blahdy blah.

So taking the form of the dragon allows Zenos to literally fly through space, across the known universe, to get to you. He didn't take the warp drive portal. That closed behind us. He had to do it the hard way. And man broke speed records, I can assure you.

Man also didn't have Hydaelyn's coordinate crystal. He just zeroed in on your soul and booked it.

Fantastic. No notes.

Obviously there are a lot of myriad kinds of relationships, but there's no accounting for all of the minute differences so I stuck with some of the most obvious/common. Feel free to double this as a qotd to yap about the relationship if you want!
