#and it really was almost the same sound

[citizen-of-the-fandom]

"These people are called the Waorani, sometimes spelled/called the Waodani." "Why?" "It's the same sound, like you go to make an 'r' sound but then flick your tongue like you were going to make a 'd' sound except you don't, it's actually an 'r' sound"

Why does like every language do things with their R sounds that nobody else understands

Guys what if fool! Sam sounds like Vincent cause Vincent turned him, and you inherit stuff from your maker

Alternatively, what if the reason prime! Sam's accent has stayed so thick is because Alexis turned him (she has a slight drawl if I'm remembering the summit right)

Still so iconic of Matt fraction to start his run like anyways off screen Clint and Kate who have met a few times before this run have become besties and are fundamentally now intertwined characters. Like and that’s just canon now. I think more comic writers should be willing to kinda just decide a new status quo like that especially with characters that have been under utilized

[rosy-crow]

On one hand, I need to calm the fuck down about Sephiroth and stop giving into Twitter to debate lore. I KNOW I’m better than this lmao.

On the other hand, I see people genuinely angry about “how Crisis Core ruined Sephiroth by killing part of his agency through Genesis,” and “how having friends made him less cool,” and “how all the Compilation is humanizing him too much and taking away his mystery,” and “how he went evil for no reason,” and “how he was always an asshole that saw himself as superior to others and only broke down because he found out he wasn’t all that.”

I see unironic worship of “canon” traits he has that apparently mark him as a perverted alpha daddy dom sex god instead of the actual raging, delusional murderer with a loathing for all life he becomes for a reeeeeeeally key and important reason.

I see remarks like “I hate how First Soldier is ruining my favorite character and taking away more of his agency,” when said “favorite character” is Sephiroth’s most surface-level traits as a villain with no further depth and he has to be cool and perfect 100% of the time or else he isn’t Sephiroth anymore and he’s suddenly “badly written.”

That’s not the same character.

Yes, I know.

Why am I mad that one of the most beautifully designed and canonically objectified and powerfully portrayed and sensually voiced and thirstily fawned over characters in video game history is being reduced to singular traits???

I don’t know.

How can I demand the luxury of rage when faced with such odds.

What did I expect.

Yeah, this one’s on me.

Tbhx omegaverse headcanons part 2: featuring E-Soul arc characters (see part 1 for Nice arc + general rules this au is operating under)

Yang Cheng

Starts as a beta, transitions into being an alpha as his trust rank increases

Has a hard time understanding scents due to suffering from prolonged scent deprivation starting at a young age. He basically had no “safe scents” around him at the orphanage, so he never really had the opportunity to learn the nuances of scents. Most smells are kinda just “a lot” to him. His sense of smell dulled naturally as he fully developed into being a beta, and he was able pavlov himself into viewing certain perfumes and incense as “safe smells,” which helped ease some of his anxiety. 

I'm not saying he owns “essence of E-Soul” musk, but-

As a beta, he smelled like petrichor. As an alpha, pine and sage got thrown in there too. His scent tends to have undertones of engine oil when he’s stressed 

Post becoming an alpha, his sense of smell got way stronger and the whole “smells are a lot” thing came back in full force

Bro is still adjusting

Alpha urges are new and he's not sure what's normal or not, so he tries to ignore them all together to avoid overstepping others boundaries. This doesn't really work, and his urges tend to build up and then show all at one. Like, he'll spend weeks pretending that their hero base is just an office space and he's totally cool with anyone entering and then snap, scent mark the whole place, throw his pack inside, and try and attack anyone else who enters. He'll avoid scenting his pack to avoid seeming too possessive and then when they ask him too (read: throw him in the nest and demand he scents them), he does a bit too much and gets them scent drunk. Constantly worried that his pack isn't eating enough and will push give them his food (to which they yell at him for not eating enough)

He's out here agonizing over how he's a “possessive, terrible person” for even considering biting Shang Chao and Xia Qing, and how “it'd be humiliating for them- They're independent omegas and the mark of an alpha (especially one like him) would only weigh them down.” Meanwhile, they both sitting on his lap and presenting their necks.

The territorialism and paranoia issues gets so much worse after the shooting attempt + increased security (meaning more non-pack members in his home). 

He suffers a feral episode after Mr. Rock is exposed. He throws his partners and Pomelo into the nest/ hero base, won't let them leave, and attacks anyone who tries to approach. Xia Qing and Shang Chao take turns distracting him while the other runs to the door to grab whatever groceries they ordered. All the pack members know that Yang Cheng isn't a threat to them, but he's not eating or sleeping and they're worried he's gonna pick a fight with someone and hurt himself. Og E Soul is eventually called in and calms him down

Xia Qing

Omega, but often gets mistaken for a beta because of her weaker scent and her general lack of obvious omega instincts (has a kinda bare bones nest, physical contact is kinda just whatever to her when it comes to most people, understands others scents but is fully capable of just ignoring them, alpha commands don’t really do anything to her)

Her softer scent makes it a bit harder for others to pick up on her emotions, but it's also really good for soothing others anxiety (since it's not overwhelming) 

Stressed enough from the combo of college, raising her brother, and trying to stop Yang Cheng from doing something stupid that she didn’t exactly have to take strong suppressants for her heats to stop

Smells like lavender, peppermint, and sage

While she doesn’t exactly make an effort to hide the fact that she’s an omega, it's not something she actively advertises. She doesn’t exactly fit the “omegas are submissive and agreeable” stereotype, so it's easier for her if people just don’t know she is one (helps her avoid both getting shit for “not being a proper omega” and attention from people who’d use scent intimidation to pressure her into being a proper omega). Honestly, if the trust system transitioned her into being a beta, she wouldn’t even be bothered

Her only potentially obvious omega traits are her mom friend instincts and tendency to throw people she’s close to into her nest (and if it weren’t for her scent being in the nest, even that could get mistaken for alpha territorialism) 

Shang Chao 

Omega with a high enough standing that people want him just for the status symbol. His family, unique effects of his scent, and generally agreeable personality make people see him as an almost perfect omega (the fact that he’s a male omega and therefore, infertile, is a drawback for some and a plus for others)

Smells like pine, peppermint, and honeysuckle 

His scent has a strong and immediate calming effect, and it makes most alphas around him kinda just instinctively want to please him. It’s great for doing business but it makes forming genuine friendships a little difficult. He’s on pleasant terms with most people, but he generally doesn’t know if that's because they genuinely like him or if its just cuz of hormones and status

The downside is that he can’t take any suppressants or it’ll lose it’s full affect

Appreciates Yang Cheng and Xia Qing’s lack of understanding and/or sensitivity to smell since it means he knows they like him for who he is

Because of all the scent marking, he kinda just assumed he, Yang Cheng, and Xia Qing were all dating. Straight up didn’t realize they never actually had a discussion about it until Xia Qing reminds him during Yang Cheng’s post shooting feral episode. 

Speaking of the shooting- he lives in this au cuz he didn't recognize the smell on the other side of the door and kept it closed 

Pomelo

Hasn’t presented yet (too young).

He kinda just smells like his sister’s lavender (and after moving into the hero base, pine and sage get thrown in the mix)

Fucking hates Uncle Rock's smell

Part of the 3-Soul’s family pack. They just kinda register him as their kid. 

OG E Soul

Alpha

Respected as an old school, upstanding alpha back in the day, but the fact that he hasn’t taken a mate (to the public’s knowledge at least) left some people to question if he was actually a beta 

Smells like petrichor, redwood, and engine oil

Uncle Rock getting exposed was the last straw that makes him just quit MG 

He tries to email Yang Cheng just to set up a time to talk things over, but instead of reaching him, Xia Qing responds and asks him to help Yang Cheng get out of his feral episode

He may have basically had to hold Yang Cheng (who was too tired to really put up a good fight) down while Xia Qing and Shang Chao scented Yang Cheng till his brain was back

He also may have had to babysit Pomelo for a couple days while Xia Qing and Shang Chao finished calming Yang Cheng down

Becomes an unofficial pack member and mentor figure. He’s aware of the later part, but not the former part, and he is both confused and delighted that he keeps getting invited to family dinners. 

He and Yang Cheng aren’t a hero team, but they work together sometimes and Yang Cheng will kinda default to E-Soul’s command when they do. The Batman to Yang Cheng’s Nightwing if you will (idk, I don’t read DC comics).

Uncle Rock

Alpha, but disguises himself a beta

Gets exposed in this au but he's rich so he gets away with it. A lot of heroes leave his company afterwards 

I’ll probably elaborate on him later (like, after Dragon Boy and Ghostblade’s arcs if we get more info there)

[xurkitreeking]

gender is like pokemon. most people only know charizard and pikachu and when i say i like the ultra beasts my mum doesn't know what that is

[yandere-sins]

Just found out that I am probably one of the older yandere writers on this plattform and just... omg? How are we not all the same age, I feel like we're all so mature and sweet and kind and strong and on the same wavelength if we talk with each other, but now I feel really old? Why am I almost half a decade older than you guys, what is going on??? At least we are all over 20 but damn... Some of you are closer to your actual twenties and meanwhile I am going straight for 30.

Oh my god I am really getting old...

[sergle]

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious. and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!" Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible. You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester. Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it? So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.

[plushie-lovey]

FINALLY!! At long last, I've gotten my hands on a Pumpkin Kitty, after a whole year of wanting and waiting.

Her name is Latte! (Short for Miss Pumpkin Spice Latte) You can also call her Miss Spice!

[zehl0w]

Kinda old unfinished Prumano doodle :3

[marclef]

We know that Fake Pep really likes belly rubs, but what about belly squishes?

Tbh I just need an excuse to knead him like dough

anything around that area feels great for Fakey, his skin is very sensitive to touch and that's the most sensitive spot of them all! but, sensitive in a good way, you go up to him and do any kind of gentle motions on his belly and he will be very, very happy! ✨

and, kneading you say? don't worry, there's an excellent bread kneader here to knead this extra special dough for you!

[zombie-dogg]

I stg I wanna grab my gf sometimes and shake her til she understands she's loved and not a burden on anyone

[a-whole-lot-of-things]
