the end of ch 2 of jojolands genuingly made me cry laughing

Every time I say "Only on Hermitcraft can (bizarre particular thing) happen" and then think nothing can ever top that again only to be proven so wrong. What is it this time?

Oh, only that Doc has somehow brought the enderdragon into the overworld and is in the process of moving it into the Perimeter because he wants to keep one there as a pet?? AND HE JUST HAS AN INFINITE DRAGON DUPER NOW???

I've only just started chapter 3 of Gaiden but I am absolutely obsessed with the theme of powerlessness and how it's conveyed within the game.

I can't help but notice how often Kiryu says he 'doesn't have a choice' when doing pretty much anything. Even if it's in super banal, low-stakes interactions like doing something for Akame, he's constantly stating that he feels as if he has no agency in his current situation.

In the previous Kiryu Saga games, Kiryu is painfully aware of the consequences of his actions, but he still regards them as choices that he made; not something he was forced into.

His status as a Daidoji agent has basically beaten him into submission. He'll occasionally try to fight against this absolute control over him, but he's eventually returned to his position as a pawn in this huge, shadowy organization. The Daidoji are the first organization/power structure that managed to get control over Kiryu's tendency to burn shit to the ground and good god do they take advantage of that.

But then Kiryu's also painfully aware that this is the reality he asked for. Not only does he outright say this multiple times, but he's telling others that 'they started this' when they're confronting him and it's so obvious that he's talking to himself.

He's constantly bouncing between feeling miserable and powerless and then resenting these feelings and berating himself for having them in the first place. He's grasping at any sliver of control he can still have over his life, not to find meaning in his new existence, but to further punish and abuse himself.

I can't remember the exact post, but I saw someone describe Gaiden as a love letter to the Kiryu Saga and that's the best way to describe it, I think.

Kiryu's arc in his games is an incredibly slow car crash where we witness in painful detail how incapable he is of permanently leaving his life as yakuza to protect his family.

He has this almost codependent relationship with the Tojo Clan and feels a compulsive urge to get involved in the constant crises happening.

Of course, there were outside factors that were trying to pull him into these conflicts. Everyone believes that he's the only one who can fix everything. Kiryu's name carries power. Isn't it disgustingly selfish to refuse to get involved when he was the one who chose the clan's chairmen?

How could he refuse to deliver a single letter after the 5th chairman was shot right in front of him?

How could he ignore the people threatening to take his orphanage away from him and his kids?

How could he tell his daughter that she can't become an idol because of his past?

How could he justify staying alive when it did nothing but bring harm to his family?

What choice did he have?

But remember, you chose this, Kiryu.

Friends, country men, women and they/thems of the court. It was with great leave of my senses that last week I considered closing this account, destroying all my artwork, deleting my fanfiction and never uttering the name Bernie Wolfe ever again.

(It was a very brief leave of my senses, a split second intrusive thought. Let's be real I've put too many years into this blog and I REALLY cant draw any one else at this point)

It is not a short story but story time is coming whether you asked for it or not because I need to write this shit down somewhere least I somehow someday make peace and forget the absolute BAT SHIT CRAZY bullshit that has been occurring up to this point involving Bernie.

HELL I MAY EVEN WRITE BAD FANFICTION ABOUT IT.

An actual picture of me realising I'd fallen victim to Bernie trolling.

Story is here: I have regrets

i could do the kink rating meme, but the real way to salome’s ace heart is sharing a bed with her out of a desire to make sure she doesn’t wander off in her sleep and get herself seriously hurt lol

Terry has been with beta boys…but what about beta girls? Has Daniel ever had beta crushes? Are there any pairings considered “abnormal” or “wrong” in this verse? Like for instance, an omega/omega or an Alpha/Alpha pairing or maybe more than two people in a relationship. Do couples like that exist? I can understand omega/omega since they’re soft and tender, but I feel like Alpha/Alpha would destroy each other just to be the more dominant one lol.

So an Alpha bites an omega and gets bonded. It kinda seems to me that because this only happens with omegas, and Alphas apparently can only bite and “claim” an omega, that this Alpha/omega pairing kinda has a one up over lets say, Alpha/beta. Or in general, all other pairings, since no other pairing has this chemical bonding that an Alpha has with an omega. It also makes me think that Terry decided to “bite” Daniel during their honeymoon because he was in love with him, and knew he was his true mate and…instinct?

Speaking of all this, since omegas get heats, but heats themselves are only truly satisfied by an Alpha, does someone like Apollonia feel somewhat dissatisfied that Michael can’t truly satisfy her like that? Or does Michael feel like he can’t give Apollonia as many pups as perhaps an Alpha could? Do female Alphas have knots?

You see this is where I get into trouble with my desire to test the limits of a trope. Omegaverse was written because people want heat sex, soulmate type bonding between Alphas and omegas, and betas seem to only exist to have someone be an omega all along, oops! Nobody ever seems to write beta/omega, and indeed what about heats and getting pregnant without them? Heats are very sexy, but what is their purpose exactly, if omegas can get pregnant by anyone, which I think is the reason they developed as a gender?

I think omegas, and especially younger omegas, have heats to attract an Alpha to have many puppies quick. If they're being kept separate from Alphas they have fewer heats, and if they bond with a beta, Apollonia indeed will have fewer heats. I'm just going to go with omegas being extremely adaptable, and if there are no Alphas to be had, they'll deal and start getting pregnant outside of heats (which Daniel's body didn't learn to do because all his heats have been well satisfied since Terry). It is uncomfortable having a heat with a beta, and Apollonia will assure Michael she never liked them anyway (which may be true, as she's had to suffer through her heats alone before marrying Michael). Apollonia may even think Daniel a bit slutty, indulging in all those marathon sex sessions.

The Catholic Church is massive on the Alpha/omega propaganda though, o my God. Still, some omegas don't like Alphas, because people are more than their biology, and Michael was a rich American. There's no rule you can only marry betas after you've already had pups! And the proper procedures were followed, so the Priest kind of reluctantly gave his blessing, especially since the head of the family was an Alpha that could keep Apollonia safe. Omega/omega is frowned upon for the same reason, because they "belong" to an Alpha. Alpha/Alpha is frowned upon since they can't have pups, so female Alpha/male beta marriages are also not looked upon fondly! They're to "teach each other how to care for a real mate", the beta learning to take charge from the Alpha and the Alpha learning to take care from the beta. Which, ya know, is dogma, and not necessarily how love works.

Female Alphas have knots but they don't decide to bite - if the mating gland swells, that's the omega deciding to want to bond completely and forever. You need a bit more time with each other, usually, though it could happen during the first heat. Theoretically, an Alpha can decide NOT to bite, but that's like deciding not to breathe. If you do that, you'd better get out of there quick.

just remembered that gunnerkrigg court exists and how much i loved it when i was a teenager... perhaps it's time for a re-read and catch up...

Angsty Akira fics are great, don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see more fics of the capsules just dicking around doing dumb shit. Like, they’re a group of teenage boys with zero regard for their surroundings, all sharing a single braincell-- you know that before the events of the manga/anime they were doing shit like this.
