[tumblweeds-omegaverse]

worldbuilding thing I've been wondering about:

how do you handle gender identity, gender expression, and/or gender stereotypes, within your omegaverse writings?

this goes for ocs and for fanfics!

if alphas are physically male in the way we'd consider a human to be physically male, that's a statement on their sex, yeah? not their gender.

you can have the body parts implied there and still be a gender that is not "man". so how's that work for omegaverse? especially if alphas can be male or female.

how do you describe gender within your omegaverse? is it based more around dynamic / secondary? (alpha/beta/omega) or around sex? (male/female/others if they apply)

do people get gendered expectations assigned to them based on their sex, on their dynamic, on the combination of both?

(ex: is there a difference between the gender roles given to a female omega versus a male omega? are the stereotypes for a male beta like or unlike those of a male omega?)

could there be such a difference between female alphas, female betas, and female omegas, that only some female people are considered women, while others are labeled with some other term due to their dynamic? or are all female people considered to be women? (assuming they're all cisgender...but if you've got trans headcanons I wanna hear those too!)

I'm curious about this because it's reasonable to say something like "our image of what is masculine appearance / behavior is shaped by our society and time period," right? (since male doesn't have to equal man or masculine, but there's often some connection)

but that structure wouldn't be built from the same stuff in omegaverse. since behaviors and such could be associated with different groups.

so...if a male alpha is seen as a feminine presenting person, what does that mean in your verse?

are masculine and feminine less about what exists in your verse and more about the limitations of our own language?

is it something else altogether?

"Ah yes, the prothean paperweight..."

I just got to the ending of Firewalker in my ME:LE trilogy re-play, and as before, it has that faintly "disconnected" feeling to it. What exactly does any of this have to do with the rest of the story, except that a Cerberus research operation went completely off the rails and everyone involved died? (Like usual.) The visual appearance of the object and its locale are reminiscent of the thing on Eletania (which is also possibly one of the single weirdest things you can find in the entirety of ME1, at least for its implications). However, the properties and behaviour of this object are entirely different.

And ... that's it. Crickets. Rapid size-changes like that would presumably have all sorts of uses in industry and so on, but as far as I recall, no further attempt is made to study or utilise the paperweight. (Presumably it can increase in size as well as shrink - presumably! - which does make its presence in the captain's cabin just a little concerning.) Rather, Firewalker just ... ends ... and that's it, basically. All that wrestling with the Hammerhead, and did it even serve any real purpose? Apparently not.

Can anyone recall if there's ever any follow-up on this rather-random find? IIRC it's gone from the Normandy in ME3, and I don't think anyone ever directly references it again. As far as I can recall, not even as a war asset - it just vanishes! (Perhaps it changed size again, ended up as a marble, and rolled under a chair, and no-one's seen it since.)

Chapter 4: Landscapes of an Old Era

“What the heck?! What in the Original One is going on?! Ughh.. this is not how it works.” Magolor grumbles, then finally feels a shift. “Finally! And here I thought-!” Before Magolor finished his sentence, a Poison Jab from behind struck him. Not only did it draw small amounts of blood, but it also left some poison. 

Magolor collapsed to the ground, poisoned. “W-wa?! Magolor?” Sailor stuttered, seeing him collapse. She immediately caught him, then saw the wound left by Poison Jab. “S-Sir Meta Knight! He’s wounded!” Sailor says, not noticing the poison left behind. “Suppress the wound, Sailor! Do you have a-” Meta Knight was cut off by Magolor. “I’m fine. Owie. It’s an everyday problem at this poinnt. I feelin’ fiine like a good ’ol grass type” he says to Meta but the wound and poison combined made him collapse… on the knight “Does this look fine to you, Magolor?” Was the last thing Magolor heard before he fell asleep on Meta Knight. “...fine, huh?” he says, deadpanning. But since their attention was on Magolor, they did not realize that the attacker was still around, and struck the nearest of the trio, Sailor Dee. Unfortunately for them though Sailor brought out a comically large Ultra Sword. “What the fu-” was the only thing heard before the comically large Ultra Sword swung down on him, courtesy of the one he tried to take out of the equation. “I came prepared! Did you seriously think that you can get the drop on me?!”

…she ultimately received no response, while Meta Knight, whose eyeballs are ready to pop out of their sockets, looked at her in disbelief. He saw his crew member holding an extra large Ultra Sword. “Note to self: don’t piss off Sailor.”  he thought, then seeing a seemingly dead body of a monkey thing. Unfortunately, it was also the same time when Magolor woke up, still disoriented from the surprise attack earlier, tried to stand and needed support. Meta Knight offered to help and he surprisingly took it. “How are you even up in the first place? You took a lot of-” Magolor cut Meta Knight off by bluntly saying, “Pecha Berries, my love.” he said unknowingly flirting. While Magolor didn’t really get what he said, Meta Knight understood it totally and blushed hard. 

“D-don’t say something like that you… you dummy!” Meta says, still blushing, and quickly punches Magolor on the cheek to fully wake him up. “Ugh.. what a wake up slap. Whose great idea was that?” Magolor spoke, fully awake and aware. “Sir Meta Knight’s idea! It’s because you flir-!” Meta Knight immediately put his hand over Sailor’s mouth. “Nothing to notice here.” He says, which Magolor saw as a lie. “Umm.. Meta? I know you your lying.” He said, much to the surprise of the knight. “What do you mean?” 

“You and me, private talk NOW.” Magolor states, eating a pecha berry and dragging Meta away. 

Sailor looks at them, confused at how Magolor recovered easily. Little did she know, the monkey that she attacked and knocked out was starting to come to. And when she felt movement, it was too late to fight back. The monkey knocked her out immediately, although the Waddle Dee had proven to be useful to him, as a hostage for that damn ogre. “Oh little Ogerpon, things won’t be the same this time.” Munkidori said, looking at the direction that the duo went and left a note for them saying, “I have your friend, ogre. If you know what’s best for you, go to the caves.” Then he left.

Luna, are you irregular or regular when it comes to your period

It depends, I’m pretty irregular but I can usually tell when I’m about to come on but if I haven’t had one in a while it hurts a lot more and last a lot on her than I would like it to. But I get though it with an amazing support system and my meds so I’m thriving as well as I can be :) - Luna

JP Migneco Irregularity series

"Irregularity," a series by artist JP Migneco (born 1989) based in Malta, explores the intricate relationship between natural and artificial environments. Using a diverse range of artistic mediums, including photography, drawing, digital media, and painting, Migneco reinterprets landscapes near coastal areas in Malta.

The artistic process involves mapping and tracing images of landforms, extracting diverse shapes and tones. The resulting fragmented compositions seamlessly integrate elements of the natural and the artificial. Central to this process is the use of irregular polygonal grids, drawing inspiration from models of fractal terrain and biomorphic architecture.

Migneco's project delves into themes of urbanization and technological advancement, seeking to evoke discussions on human-environment interaction in the digital age. The irregular grids, derived from fractal terrain and biomorphic architecture, visually convey the complexities of contemporary landscapes shaped by both nature and technology.

JP Migneco's interdisciplinary approach involves planning and experimentation, bringing together different subjects to create a unique form of art. His work draws inspiration from landscape painting, geometric abstraction, and color theory. Through illusory color patterns, often derived from modern art, geometry, and geology, Migneco reinterprets symbolic objects and locations. The resulting artworks reflect a synthesis of various influences, creating a visual dialogue on the intersection of nature, technology, and human experience in the contemporary world.

As you can see in this artwork the understanding in the colour theory of hue colours and the different values of colours. It one diagonal line and geometric shape but in an organic feeling of a real landscape. It as balance of colour, value and asymmetrical balance of the landscape and the random effect of patterns. It a bit of movement to create the effect of the rocky landscape and the artwork also has a random pattern of rhythm and unity of repetition and similarity. I liked this artist work because he combined natural and man-made to look interesting and effective as an overall artwork.

Monthly Phantom Check Up

Frostbite, Danny’s overly enthusiastic yeti doctor, shows up at the Watchtower for a surprise check-up, and things get awkward fast.

———

The Watchtower was in chaos. It wasn’t a typical day of chaos—no alien invasions or time-traveling villains—but something far more uncomfortable. Frostbite, Danny Phantom’s towering Yeti doctor and self-proclaimed “Master of Ghost Medicine,” had arrived unannounced. His massive, fur-covered frame loomed in the main meeting room as he carefully unpacked a series of glowing, intimidating medical instruments.

Superman leaned over to Wonder Woman, voice low. “Is this... normal?”

Wonder Woman’s brow furrowed in thought. “I don’t think this falls under the usual protocol for supernatural beings.”

Across the room, Danny Phantom stood in all his half-dead glory—or rather, slouched in defeat, wearing a hoodie that seemed far too large for his ghostly frame. He was clearly trying to shrink away from the entire situation, one pale hand covering his face in mortification.

“Frostbite,” Danny hissed in a hushed whisper, “you couldn’t have waited until we got back to the Ghost Zone?”

Frostbite beamed, oblivious to Danny’s pleading. “Nonsense, Great One! Your health is of utmost importance, and I detected a slight imbalance in your ectoplasmic core. It must be addressed immediately!”

Batman stood against the wall, eyes narrowing as he watched the scene unfold. “Ectoplasmic core?”

Frostbite nodded solemnly as he began to prepare an absurdly long, glowing probe. “Indeed, Batman. The Great One is half-ghost, and thus, his core requires regular maintenance. There are many nuances to his biology that need tending to.”

Danny groaned. “Oh, Ancients, kill me now…”

The Justice League—gathered for what they thought was going to be a strategy meeting—could only look on in awkward silence. Aquaman coughed and pretended to adjust his trident. Green Lantern pulled up a holographic projection of the solar system, which he stared at intensely despite not needing to. Flash, of course, was barely containing his laughter, lips twitching every time Frostbite said something ridiculous.

“Now,” Frostbite continued, holding up a glowing vial of something green and gooey, “the first concern is the ectoplasm imbalance. Too much exposure to the Ghost Zone can cause buildup, which leads to... ah, let’s say, irregularities.”

Superman cleared his throat. “Irregularities?”

Frostbite nodded gravely. “Yes. In the human digestive system, it might be compared to... indigestion. But in ghosts, it manifests as random phasing, ectoplasmic leakage, and occasional transformation into a much more terrifying version of oneself.”

Superman blinked. “That sounds... worse than indigestion.”

“Oh, much worse!” Frostbite said brightly, not catching the sarcasm. “Especially during ghost puberty. It’s when the ghost’s core is developing at its most volatile stage.”

Danny’s entire face turned bright red. “Frostbite! Seriously?!”

“Ghost... puberty?” Batman echoed, voice laced with what could only be described as grim fascination.

“Indeed!” Frostbite said, now fully in doctor mode. “The Great One is well past that stage, but it’s important to note that ghost puberty can last several decades for some. Phantom’s transformations would have been wildly unpredictable for years, often triggered by emotional stress or large quantities of fast food.”

Flash actually lost it at that, letting out a snort and quickly covering his mouth. “Sorry, sorry! Just—did you say fast food?”

Danny rubbed his temples. “Yes. I went through my ‘ghost puberty’ eating burgers and stressing about math tests. Can we move on?”

Frostbite chuckled warmly. “Ah, yes. The human world does have its unique challenges for the Great One. Now, the next matter—”

“There’s more?” Danny wailed, half considering flying straight through the floor and never coming back.

“Oh, yes!” Frostbite said with far too much enthusiasm. He turned to the League. “His dual nature also means his ghost half sometimes conflicts with his human immune system. It’s a fascinating process! For example, Danny can phase through objects, but if he catches a human cold, it throws his phasing abilities off and he might accidentally phase into a wall and get stuck.”

The room went silent.

Batman stared at Danny. “You’ve... phased into a wall?”

Danny gritted his teeth, wishing for the sweet release of invisibility. “I was twelve, okay? And yes, I got stuck. It was fine.”

“Mostly fine,” Frostbite corrected, waving around a spectral thermometer. “There was that one time we had to extract you from a particularly thick brick wall in Amity Park. Took several hours.”

Wonder Woman, who had remained silent up until this point, exchanged a concerned glance with Superman. “Is this something we should... prepare for?”

Danny shot them both an exasperated look. “No. I’m not going to phase into the Watchtower’s walls. Probably.”

“Unless his ectoplasmic levels are low,” Frostbite added cheerfully. “Which is why this check-up is vital!”

As Frostbite pulled out what looked suspiciously like a ghost-themed blood pressure cuff, Danny gave up. “I’m going to die—again.”

Flash wiped away a tear of laughter, his shoulders still shaking. “This is the best day of my life. I didn’t know ghost puberty was a thing.”

“I’ll send you my research papers,” Frostbite said kindly. “There’s a great deal of fascinating biology involved!”

Danny, ignoring everyone, shot a glare at Batman, who was watching all this with far too much interest. “Don’t even think about adding this to my file.”

Batman didn’t respond, though his fingers twitched ever so slightly toward his utility belt.

Frostbite, oblivious to the ongoing awkwardness, finished prepping his tools. “Now, Great One, if you could just sit still. This next part involves extracting ectoplasmic residue from your pores—”

“I’m phasing through the floor,” Danny muttered, promptly sinking halfway through the Watchtower’s pristine floor, only his head remaining visible. “See you guys never.”

The Justice League stood in stunned silence as Frostbite packed away his tools with a serene smile.

“Very well,” Frostbite said. “I’ll schedule the next check-up for next month. Goodbye, Justice League!”

And with that, the massive Yeti doctor vanished through a portal, leaving the League standing there, trying to make sense of what they had just witnessed.

Superman finally turned to Danny, whose head was still poking out of the floor.

“Danny... you okay?”

Danny didn’t respond, choosing instead to fully disappear beneath the floor.

Flash wheezed. “I love that kid.”

Terastal Irregularity (a Magopon AU fic)

Chapter 3: Dreams and Tales Lost to the Stars

//Yay! I actually uploaded on my birthday!

//Teal Mask spoilers ahead, be prepared

“Wa? Magolor? What do you mean by that?” Sailor asked, not understanding what Magolor meant. “Is anyone going to tell me anything? What’s happening? I can’t get anything!” She said, wanting to know. Magolor looked like he didn’t want to talk but,Meta Knight did not want a lie. He wanted the truth, and Magolor is going to give it him. He sighs and says, “Well, I suppose I better start talking. You saw how I handled Dipplin earlier. That crystallized state is called ‘Terastallization’. It’s a phenomenon in the Paldea Region.” He pauses, giving everyone time to let it sink in.

“I never thought that I’d open the can of worms this early, but it is what it is. Anyway, this little tale that I’m going to tell you starts in the Land of Kitakami. Well, at least parts that are important. My name was Ogerpon, the so-called Ogre of Kitakami’ but there’s more to the tale. Long time ago, a friend and I were traveling until we came across Kitakami. But because we looked different, we were cast out of the village and we had to stay at a mountain. Honestly, nothing really changed except us staying in one place. No one bothered with us like helping kind, but there was someone that took pity on us. The village mask maker.” Once again Magolor paused, taking the Teal Mask from his head, looking at it for a while then continuing,

“He made the masks, yes the Teal Mask was part of it, so we could attend the Festival of Masks. Soon enough, we were the talk of the festival. Word spread about the beautiful masks here and there. And it only took three lousy Pokemon to ruin it all.” Tears now started to fall from Magolor.

“When I left that fateful day, I never knew it was the last time… I… I would see my friend. I don’t know what happened, and that hurts me! If only I knew… when I returned to the den, I only found… my Teal Mask… and signs of a struggle. It Arceus damned stung!” He said, tears now flowing down, close to a breakdown. Meta Knight may have suspected Magolor hid so much, but he never expected it to be so much. So much to the point that it would trigger an emotional breakdown. “I never thought… that it would be this much. No wonder he didn’t want to share the tale. I can keep Sailor quiet about this. And because almost no one studies that far in time, they would take him for crazy.” Meta thought, shocked at the amount of emotional baggage Magolor had.

“Magolor?” He asked to the mage, who was still crying, blaming himself. “Magolor! Calm down. Take deep breaths, follow my lead. In, out, in, out.” Meta said, trying to calm Magolor. The mage was able to, but he still looked pained. “S-sorry. I-I’ll continue now.” He said, pained by what was going to be said next, but still powered through with it, though Meta Knight tried to make him stop. “Those l-lousy idiots, t-they took the other three masks. The Hearthflame Mask, the Wellspring Mask, and the Cornerstone Mask. I made them pay, pay for that. They were killed by me… and I regretted everything. They were revered as the heroes and me as the villain. Is it so, so wrong to avenge someone?! Ever since that day, that cursed day, I never showed my face to anyone.” Magolor said angrily while also staying calm.

“This little thing between me and the villagers stayed the same… until she came. Juliana, a student from Paldea. The first time I met her was during the Festival of Masks. I could tell she wasn’t a local. So I thought I could interact with her as a child. All went to the drain though, because I accidentally dropped my mask. Not wanting to be suspected, I left. Unfortunately, I was forced to leave the mask. Juliana was really kind, she returned the mask. But somehow, those Lousy 3 came back to life! I got my butt kicked immediately. I’m forever thankful both of them. Carmine.. I hear she used to be harsh, but she mellowed down. As for me, I wanted to go with Juliana, but Kieran, Carmine’s brother, wanted me to go with him.. and he challenged Juliana with a Pokemon Battle that she ultimately won.” He said, looking much better now. Ultimately, he decided to continue.

“Not to brag but, I’m one of the few Pokemon that can Terastallize by will without going berserk. Most Pokemon, like Dipplin here, need help from either the Galapagos idiot or a Tera Orb. Said idiot is not doing his job. Why did Briar get all fired up about the idiot in question is a mystery to me down to this day.”

“What?” Meta Knight asked Magolor.

“An onion.” Magolor snickered, continuing their little conversation. “Well, we should keep moving. The place with the most Tera energy is just around the corner, this way now!” He smiled, leading the way. Magolor himself was now in a good mood and considering the emotional breakdown he had earlier, this was better.

“Well, we’re almost there, prepare your eyes for a heck of a view. Tera energy gathers up in there. So you may see crystallized objects on the way. Aaand here we are! The Terastallized Caves. A.K.A, our destination, and a chunk of the Underdepths of Area Zero.” He said acting like a tourist guide.

“I- wow, it’s beautiful! And the energy clumped themselves into these crystals?! The readings are getting really high! And is that a tree?! How?!” Sailor queried, unable to comprehend the view before them. “Dunno anything about how they form. All I know is that they come from the idiot. I’m sure he’ll love your questions.” Magolor replied, then tapped the tree twice. “All we’ll have to do is wait.” “Umm.. how long?” Sailor Dee asked. Magolor then looked at the direction of the caves, but nothing came. “What in the name of the Original One is going on. Sure he’s an idiot, but he doesn’t completely ignore the code.” Magolor said, moving toward the caves. “Hey! Idiot! You there?! Oh come on. You’ve got to be kidding me.” He said, not receiving any response from Terapagos.

[unblinded-by-nostalgia-blog]

In a nutshell, it's George Orwell's Animal Farm, except change communism to objectivism and make the book crap!

The Story

Going in, you think this series is going to be fantastic. It sets up a world with masterful detail and you can't put it down, but by the time you've finished the first book and are halfway through the second novel, you realise that this was nothing but wasted potential.

The school the siblings are in are separated into two different classes, the blooms and the weeds. The siblings are in separate classes and the brother (the weed) manages to get on the student council.

Now with that setup, you would think in this arc, he would make the school equal, then make the school less equal throughout the series length. But no, instead we get a yes man who goes along with the discrimination of students to the point where the novel paints the revolutionists who want equal rights between blooms and weeds are described to be nothing but terrorists.

This setup could of worked if the protagonists were painted as villains, but no. The novel goes as far as saying that torturing the people who want equal rights is okay and make it out as the heroes defeating the villains.

The Characters

By this logic, you would think that these characters were the most despicable characters ever penned! But no, they are so one note and forgettable, I couldn't remember who was who during the entirety of these two novels.

The only character I do kind of remember is the sister, but that is only because she wants to fuck her BIOLOGICAL brother! And the novel doesn't go into the amount of detail that these sort of themes go, making you see the sibling's troubles while trying to make their forbidden relationship work. But the novel even fails at doing that! It doesn't even show the struggle of social norms or anything, making the entire incest subplot gimmicky and pointless!

The Illustrations

The illustrations look really good, except that they look like they have been stretched to the point where everyone looks blobby with the oversized character black lines and blurriness that I have never seen in a light novel. It makes the novel look like it was released last minute...

Final Thoughts

Overall, this light novel series showed so much potential, but it threw it all away with a weak plot, characters with no personality and illustrations that look like they have been stretched.

Yen Press didn't even bother to officially announce the licence of this series or the manga spinoff, and the first light novel was delayed by a few months for unknown reasons.

I actually looked forward to reading this, but when I finally read it, it was nothing but a waste of time...
