Crowley has partial memory-loss this, Crowley is just pretending not to recognize people to be a jerk that. Consider: prosopagnosia. That man* is fucking faceblind.

How/when did you get started in jewelry making?

i got really into it in march 2022. im an avid antique store shopper since birth and i found this really cool appointment-only antique store that was just this older guy's personal collection. he was selling crazy stuff for basically quarters, it was the most unique place id been to. i came across some charms that i loved and that really kicked it off for me. i just kept getting ideas and ive been doing it obsessively since then. i dont really love some of my first pieces but the carrie and lowell inspired necklace (bottom left) still holds up

hpapy sergey sautrdsybdauy it';s Ego day i think maybe. sergey telepole. i dont have a reasoning for this, actually.

someone made a comment about him being invincible wielding mimicry but i think he would not be able to handle the texture of Evil Skin. it did inspire me to draw him in other aleph ego though. hence the theme of the post

reinhardt cameo. both of them can handle their respective ego just fine but if you swapped it bad things would happen (even if it's not apparent with reinhardt. will leave explanation in tags)

i love drawing him in things he looks good in everything (debatably) my. favorite lc agent

he was canonically a christmas guy btw i found screenshots. thats why its the only not aleph ego in here

Fun "is it real or a hallucination" moment:

It smells heavily, almost oppressively, of gummi bears. I do not have any gummi bears near me

because im getting into perfumes and collecting make up now, here's some scent headcanons for my OCs. ITS LONG I DIDNT EXPECT IT TO BE LONG BTW so mentioned characters: Camellia, Lily, Lila, Daisy, Elysian, Eden, Nimuel

Cam's perfume is Valentino Born in Roma :) Sultry, very femme vanilla + woody scent. It's a sexy yet classy & mature scent, I love how intoxicating and delicious it smells LOL. Personally, I wouldn't wear this during daytime since it smells like its for the night... but Camellia comes alive at night time (clubs, parties, etc) so it fits her perfectly! It also has the juicy black currant note, so yeah... its basically a very delicious smell.

Lily's perfume is Le Labo Santal 33! Soft, smokey with a bit of leathery smell that's a little assertive. The dry down for this one is just outstanding and I think Lily would get LOTS of compliments for smelling good. It's an expensive perfume (jfc 322$ USD LOL) so people will ALWAYS associate this scent with her.

Lila...Lila is absolutely AG's Cloud. I think this perfume just smells like gummy bears and marshmallows. Sweet and girly, yet there's also like a coconut-y smell to it? Like okayyyy coconut scent, that's Lila's Filipino genes coming thruuu!! There's also a warm, coziness to it but idk if its because I'm in a tropical country.

Daisy's perfume is Gucci Bloom and it's LITERALLY just sampaguita/jasmine. Because she's an actual dead person, she will definitely smell like sampaguitas since Filipinos have a belief that the spirits of the dead smell like this (because churches are covered in this flowers too). Hey at least she smells like flowers rather than a rotting, demon-possessed corpse  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Elysian is DEFINITELY this perfume. It's airy, ethereal, and smells delicate & lovely. The Lucena twins were always pretty genderfluid to me, so it's not far off for Elysian to smell "feminine" and elegant. We're talking about the guy who has the most extensive skincare routine ever, OF COURSE he smells clean and divine.

Eden is absolutely a Marc Jacob's Daisy Eau so Fresh!!! This used to be my signature scent during my teenage years, so I associated this smell with NC and eventually Eden. It smells like sweet sunshine...airy, and fruity with a spring scent. It's like a sweet angel has blessed you with spring flowers. Literally a fairy garden. (also no I'm not saying I'm like that cos I outgrew this scent and I thought it would smell the same as the Daisy Sorbet one lol)

For the laughs, Nimuel is probably a Bench PH Beach Bum cologne. A cheap scent since it costs like 1-2$USD, but hey I appreciate a teenage boy who actually uses cologne. This is a "masc" smell that's basically aquatic and somewhat beach-y? I remember liking this smell when I was in high school.

ANYWAY hi if you got to this point. This was fun to write and do a quick search on. I'm going back to my thesis paper now lol

Moss and Pine!

From this ask game!

MOSS - What kind of setting do you find easiest to describe?

Mmh.

Things that don't require a lot of description- LOL no i mostly like to describe interiors but i'm bad at details so it doesn't really show. I WILL tell you what kinda fabric is in those bedsheets and i WILL make Hélianthe uh, use expensive ass silk even though we all know he never sleeps in there.

PINE - What smell do you associate with your writing?

Usually none. I don't have a strong enough sense of smell to have a lot of these in memory to invoke.

Some of my writing smells like lavender though. Specifically one of my early Elder Scrolls fics.

Some other bits smell like blood.

In both of these sentences, I almost wrote tastes instead of smell. That's how shitty my sense of smell is, it's easier to imagine tastes lmfao

[sunkingwrites]

Someone's office in my class area's hallway smells like coffee and caramel, I swear I start drooling when I walk past and I've stopped walking some times just to stand there and smell it

FYI, if you’re using an at-home antigen test, those are not accurate enough to be used to rule out COVID. The false negative rate is very high. (They can be used to *confirm* COVID, but not to rule it out.) In early 2021, at-home antigen tests were only about 60% accurate compared to PCR tests, and the further mutations of the virus since then will only have decreased that number.

If you have COVID symptoms and it is possible to get to a PCR testing location, it’s a good idea to do that instead. In the future it may be useful to have a record of how many times you were infected.

havent you heard, the pandemic is over! our president declared it so and los angeles is following suit. if you tell your boss that you are waiting for one of those long lab tests, he will get mad. and you will get a reputation as not being committed to the job. not like your other male coworkers who are never sick and always stay till 8pm every day.

Responding here to ur tag response to my question on this post so i dont clog up your notes over there 😅

That concept is so cool!! Can you tell me more about the dynamics? (Like what are the specific differences that made you classify Sabito as alpha prime instead of just alpha?)

When you say the Primes effect more and are effected more than the others what exactly do you mean?

Do you become a Prime when you take on a certain roll in your pack or is it just a option during the initial presenting event?

Are Primes like a subsection of their dynamic or are they a whole new one? (3 broad dynamics society vs 5 specific dynamics society)

How does everybody being abo (and Sabito being alive) effect their relationships with each other in this AU compared to canon?

And lastly, what are everybody's designations in this au? 👀

I kinda got carried away with the questions whoops

ok important distinction to get out of the way first- i see a/b/o as terms to describe phenomena, not strict definitions people fall into. i dont like omegaverse things like that bc 1 i love biology & speculative evolution and through that lens it makes absolutely 0 fucking sense to me and 2 i dont like omegaverse basically being reduced to sexism 2.0 with submissive feminine omegas, dominant masculine alphas, and boring betas.

i completely understand and see the appeal in traditional a/b/o but i also think its severely limiting

to answer your questions off the bat:

sabito as an alpha prime mostly just bc i really really like giving him big/visible fangs and that influenced some worldbuilding choices lmao

imagine having ur senses turned up 200%. theyre just as affected by a drop of pheromones as normal dynamics are a litre. theyre way more sensitive to others' and their own is far more potent

theres no 'presenting event' either you stay not very reactive to pheromones(beta) you start reacting to pheromones normally(alpha/omega) or you start to be fuck-off sensitive to pheromones(a/o prime) (ppl dont choose or get assigned a secondary dynamic its just something that Happens and a/b/o are terms used to describe wide trends)

its still 3 broad dynamics, primes are considered a sub-category/more specific variant of alpha/omega

mmm, id say overall theyre pretty much the same? rengokus & mitsuri are closer-knit, tengen and them kinda make a trio, sabito's almost part of the mini-group(The Loud Ones)- sanemi and obanai still dislike giyuu, now its got an added 'omega has his alpha wrapped around his finger and makes him do the dirty work instead' bc he never bothers to defend himself from them so sabito steps up and tells them to fuck off- then theres the obvious kamado situation. sabito's neutral abt them after he gets over his initial anger but cmon. its tanjiro. youre not staying neutral for long. giyuu more protective of them from the get-go

theres only a few ppls who are set in stone lmao- sakonji-alpha sabito-APrime giyuu-omega tanjiro-OPrime nezuko-N/A sanemi-beta obanai-beta mitsuri-OPrime kyojuro-alpha

my version of a/b/o

secondary dynamics arent dependent on sex, theyre two separate spectrums and secondary dynamics are Secondary

secondary dynamics start to develop with puberty, not really finished until somewhere in 20s

you cant tell what someone's secondary dynamic will be until it starts to present

betas are the hardest to tell bc sometimes ppl are just late bloomers, late20s-30s and they still dont react to scents very strongly or havent had a heat/rut theyre probably a beta

[shitty doodle of the parabola graphic- up-down is omega/alpha left-right is not sensitive-very sensitive]

betas still smell scents but arent sensitive to pheromones and their own arent very strong either, some can have mini-heats or ruts. overall if theyre not very reactive to scents and they dont have noticeable fangs or any changes to their reproductive organs theyre considered a beta

alphas and omegas have stronger scents (a beta would need to be actively projecting their scent to be on the same level as alpha/omega's baseline) and are sensitive to pheromones.

secondary dynamics influence sex but are not influenced by sex; males who are omegas can develop female reproductive systems and females who are alphas can develop male reproductive systems. this results in tons of possible combinations, though not everything /works/ since they'd need the matching internal & external parts to actually reproduce.

with male omegas/female alphas; commonly, either the secondary reproductive system doesnt develop at all or the secondary external develops alongside the original*. less commonly the secondary external develops and the original internals swap to the secondary. very rarely the secondary will fuck up the original internals and make someone sterile. very VERY rarely will someone develop both original and secondary reproductive systems that are fully functional

main biggest difference between alphas and omegas is mostly in whether they have a heat(& nest) or a rut(& claim territory)

heats typically start off with some warning signs before the actual heat kicks in(preheat) omegas will start to be clingy and seek safety/closeness with their pack for a few days, along with starting to give off a heat scent. omegas usually dont smell their own heat scent until its already pretty strong(closer to heat) so others around them usually notice the scent first. heat hits with a full body fever for a day or two, its extremely uncomfortable and usually omegas drop out of coherency. behind the scenes all kinds of reward chemicals and other important stuff in the brain are thrown way out of wack- no one really notices that tho bc theyre usually blearily rolling around suffering through a mind-numbing fever. after it abates theyre left with the still fucky brain balance and dont really get back all the coherency they lost from the fever, still a little out of it for the whole duration of heat. theyre more sensitive to changes in their emotions and more sensitive to physical contact, heats in their usual state are non-sexual and an omega simply seeks security affection and comfort from their pack. excessively negative emotions caused by lack of security or comfort can cause an omega to be extremely panicky/depressive/aggressive (borderline feral) and its not fun for anyone involved. the omega going through it is overrun with negative thoughts/feelings/emotions and the scent of an omega going through a disruptive heat is especially nauseating & discomforting to anyone around (an intense need to Fix It and make the omega feel better). on the flip-side, omegas being more sensitive to emotion and physical contact can lead to a state of near constant euphoria/ecstasy in sexual heats between mates (the more traditional version of heat)

omegas will go into heat in the presence of another omega's heat if they are emotionally connected (family, pack, friends, etc) and an omega's heat can cause an alpha to start their rut (& vice-versa ruts causing heats)

ruts cause a similar fucky brain balance but not nearly to the same degree as heats, alphas will seek out affection and their instinct to protect is sent into absolute overdrive. mother hen x500. it causes them to be a lot more agitated which leads to more aggression bc more things are seen as a threat.

sexual ruts with mates sends their instinct to make sure the other IS and feels safe/good into overdrive and They Will Not Leave Their Mate

nesting is the usual find soft things make comfy/safe bed/area for pack and is extremely personal/fiercely defended from those who its not meant for; claiming territory is a wider application of 'make area feel comfy/safe for pack' alphas will patrol or steak out vantage points of their selected territory, like omegas they also dont take kindly to intruders**

alphas are built a bit more for power and tend to be offensive/face confrontation head-on(make opponent lose ground, get threats as far away from my pack as possible); while omegas are built a bit more for speed/agility and tend to be defensive/run loops around confrontations(dont let opponent gain any ground, keep threats from getting any closer to my pack) its not solid evidence when trying to tell someone's dynamic off it alone because people's natural variation is so wide and people's experiences can change how theyd react to stress and such so its usually ignored but trends Can be seen

*giyuu's like that male omega has both parts externally but no uterus so. no mpreg for him</3

**it can be kinda subtle sometimes, one example ive posted is sabito physically situating himself so hes between his pack(giyuu/tanjiro/nezuko) and the threat (sanemi/rest of the hashira)

i think thats everything? feel free 2 ask for clarification if i fucked up explaining or missed something
