#ratio and black swan are slowly getting there

[demonologistfucker]

🙏🏻aventurine is now my first completely maxed out character

[ironunderstands]

Rules for how my Omegaverse works for the Aventio au because I don’t like how others write it (so my picky ass will resolve it myself)

Some mentions of SA because unfortunately it comes with the trope

-Beta’s are basically just normal humans, far less attuned to things than alphas/omegas, but they can be turned into alphas/omegas through difficult/unnatural means, although not by other alphas/omegas without consent, have a similar mechanic to what omegas have (you shall see). Blade is an omega bc of whatever the hell happened to him but originally he was a beta 

-omegas still have heats- but the desire to submit to alphas is able to be controlled even inside of heats, although it’s very difficult of course, it just requires mental fortitude. It’s even easier for pathstriders 

-omegas have a lot of trouble getting pregnant before getting mated, but after it’s fair easier, especially if you’re the mate of an omega, while it’s virtually impossible for non-mates

-omegas can refuse mating bites, and if they do, the offending alpha will die (they can naturally poison their own blood, which is toxic to anyone but the omega themselves, unique to each omega), however this organ can be removed surgically and in some cultures they do (it’s framed as a bad, archaic practice). Nevertheless, this is often why people wait to be married before going through with a mating bite, bc being killed by refusal is only prosecutable by law after marriage in most places 

-alphas can use their scent/pheromones/whatever to influence others, especially omegas, but it’s frowned upon and not entirely effective because with enough willpower anyone can resist. However it works against more weak willed individuals, and even subtly against people who aren’t even part of the omegaverse at all (you will see in the next point)

-since hsr has so many different species of person, many are just normal people outside of the omegaverse entirely, like characters from Belabog/Xianzhou don’t have any of that stuff 

-Ratio, Aventurine, Black Swan, Acheron, Blade,  the Trailblazers, March 7th, Sunday, Robin, Boothill, the people from their respective planets (just Halovians for Penacony) and the Amphoreus characters do though 

-Aventurine + the rest of the Avgin + Sigonians are unique bc their pheromones can even affect people with no distinctions at all, it’s part of their bad reputation/stereotypes in the galaxy, really it’s not as strong as their enemies make it out to be, and most would never abuse it unless in desperate situations 

-also comes with a thing I’ve seen in other fanfics that’s called alpha voice I think? It’s unique to him + other alpha Sigonians + strong pathstriders + emanator alphas where they can basically command other people, but again it’s rarely used especially by him because Aventurine isn’t a piece of shit 

-the IPC was aware of this which is why they made it so the people they sent to enslave the Sigonians a) had no distinctions b) turned off their synthesia beacons c) wore filtration masks

-the reason I’m adding this is because Aventurine is going to use it on Ratio for reasons we will both find out (because I haven’t thought of why yet, I just like the ideas) but won’t involve non-con at all I promise 

-currently I’m thinking Aventurine gets mad/upset/worried/whatever and uses the alpha voice unconsciously to basically tell Ratio off, resulting in him submitting which will be a whole mess 

-at this point ppl w these traits are common enough that those without have learned to synthesize things to use with/against them, like replicating alpha pheromones or something, which can cause problems and has led to strict regulations of them by the IPC

-suppressants still exist, and because I like this trope (well more like it’s useful), they don’t permanently harm alphas/omega’s by using them, but they slowly make their users feel worse and worse, and can be fatal with over use, they also make any ensuing heat/rut stronger after being off them, this is the only time it becomes practically impossible for alphas/omegas to circumnavigate their instincts, and can lead to problems 

-Therefore it’s rarely recommended for people to be on them forever, and if individuals really hate their instincts they can get surgery to remove their mating gland (back of the neck, I didn’t specify before but that’s where others put it, not gonna fix what isn’t broken) to suppress the effects of being an alpha/omega, although it can’t remove them completely. This also tends to make people infertile, which is why the procedure is often frowned upon/undesirable, bc as annoying as heats/ruts can be, most still want kids 

-Everyone regardless of sex is a hermaphrodite and presenting is what changes their anatomy, how? It kinda just gets absorbed into the body the day of presentation. Which is a) funny b) means nobody has to deal with stray organs everywhere c) it’s a cop out hahahaha also betas retain both 

- Black Swan is an alpha and so is Acheron (mmm alpha x alpha) I’ll figure out how that works later lmao

-Boothill, Blade, Caelus, Ratio, Topaz and Sunday are omegas (as they should be)

-March is a beta, Stelle is a beta, Robin and Aventurine are also alphas

-not sure if I wanna make Stelle and Caelus coexist in this or not 

-Can you tell I don't like the rapey elements of the genre and I hate when ppl write omegas like they are weak and can’t resist at all. I get it’s fun for horny stuff but honestly it just annoys and disgusts me more than anything. If that’s your cup of tea then go ahead, but I am not a fan of it at all unfortunately 

-Nesting has always been an interesting concept for me. I think I’ll keep the elements of it that involve omegas surrounding themselves w the scents of their desired alphas, and just precious belongings in general 

-I’ll make an alpha version of this where the scent of their desired omega can calm them down and provide them comfort during ruts

-similar for omegas where the pain (but not the horniness) of heats goes away if near desired alpha

-by “desired ___” I mean crush/mate if you don’t fuck with someone (in a metaphorical sense although literally this can also be true) they cannot help you 

-foxians aren’t part of the omegaverse but they have heightened senses so they can tell when someone’s going through heats/ruts/stuff which is why a lot of doctors specializing in this stuff are foxians 

-people present at 18-20 

-none of that kits/pups/litter shit sorry not my thing at all, also I feel like it dehumanizes the potential children like dude those are human beings not dogs 

-Way less of the strict gender rules, no omegas can’t do this alphas should go that kinda stuff, I don’t want omega’s to be seen as significantly weaker than alphas/they should mostly balance each other out. However as stated prior alphas can absolutely influence people, especially omegas which can result in very interesting problems, however they do have means of fighting back (the poison + personal willpower)

-However the willpower required to resist is a lot/its very hard in general. Most people in universe do not blame omegas for giving into their instincts, although there are plenty of victim blamers, just like in reality unfortunately

post 2.3 ramblings

I love the mindbending ability any dream-reality story is build on, but damn, is Penacony flaring up my paranoia and just leaves me cynical about any and everything.

(These are just my on-going observations and musings, so really, it's more like an unhinged red-string-on-the-wall moment for me since the start of 2.0 all the way here. I'm so delighted, but damn, is it putting my brain into a constant loop.)

It's not even necessarily the fault of a "too ideal ending" or "that was a fast wrap up". I don't need to see the stellaron be dealt with on-screen (neither did it happen in Belobog or Luofu, so I didn't expect it to happen here either), but it's always brushed off as us just being deeply asleep while its been dealt with, and no one wanting to wake us up (and TB asking if they're still asleep is also a thing to note. Makes my paranoia feel validated, because the mc is also paranoid).

Then there is March, and oh boy, am I the most suspicious of her, cause this doesn't feel like March at all. It's like a caricature, or someone trying their best to be March from a very surface level, but never really landing the mark right. Her being there every time we wake up from a dream (be it Ena's or then after Sunday), and avoiding elaborating on stuff, just pushing us on with the plot. Her being like "I dreamed of shopping until a tentacle yanked me out of there" (I'm paraphrasing here) makes no sense at all to me — if everyone was stuck in a dream of an ideal reality, her "just shopping" wouldn't scratch the surface of her character; she is always struggling with her past and lost/blocked memories, her purpose and identity, and you wanna tell me her dream didn't give her anything of that? Doubt. The closest true March we got was when we stood to bid farewell to Mikhail, and her monologue — that is our March, someone who struggles with her sense of belonging in the grander scheme of things, who clings to memories and moments because she only has the time on the Express.

Doesn't help, that no one mentioned the Annihilation Gang, like, at all. We were made aware they're gonna be there. One of them directly talked to Black Swan, but now it's quiet? No destructive shenanigans? No plotting from the shadows? Nothing? Where did they go?

On the matter of destruction — there is a black hole sucking in all the memoria and making the dream slowly collapse, and no one is concerned? There is that one NPC, but otherwise there is no panic, no active plan on how to handle it. Micah will keep up the peace in Dreamflux Reef, but the blackhole we got a perfect view of is...not a problem? The Dreamweavers also aren't really solving that issue either, instead they are just building more on top over everything, not going to the core of the problem to deal with it.

Also with the whole waking up from a dream to wake up from a dream to wak- you get, it's such a mess, because unless we leave Asdana for good, we cannot ever be sure what is a dream and what is reality. Non of these characters are reliable narrators. All of them are swimming in memoria. The closest beings capable of moving around aware of this are Memokeepers (and possibly Ratio and Acheron, for one is Ratio and the other walks the path of Nihility, so that makes it complicated, cause we don't know their limits and capabilities, ugh), but Black Swan is keeping her cards close to her chest and rather pushes others to do stuff while she slinks around observing.

Not to say, that nothing that is happening is inconsequential or unimportant — many things are a true concern or possibility to happen (the Express running out of fuel, the IPC trapping Penacony into a deal, the Express being chosen as mediators between the factions, because of course they would be), neither do I think the interaction between the characters is a delusion, I think they are acting as they would outside Asdana and their dynamics are real (except March, there just is something about her that makes me feel antsy whenever she is around; I got more trust in Sparkle than her at this point, and that's so funny to me). It's like, the information is true about people and other places, because these are thoughts and memories brought to Asdana from the outside, but the happenings in the star system are too convoluted to really be confident in saying "this is what is truly happening", because we cannot know for sure. Not now, not until we get out, or until the memoria is handled in one way or another.

Conclusion: Penacony is playing with my mind so much, I cannot trust anything until it's all actually resolved. It's fun and makes my brain buzz with energy and zest, so that's great. And even if technically Penacony's story is at the end, there are just too many plot points staying unresolved or need to be expanded upon, nothing was truly explained and only left me with more questions. Maybe I just need more time to ruminate over it all.

[prismatic-glow]

hi guys!! for those of you who play, how has the new star rail patch been for you?

I absolutely LOVE penacony and the story was awesome! I think I've said this b4 but I love any stories based around dreams

I also got a super early black swan and won my 50/50! I think it was around 40 pity? I was super happy about that since I really wanted her but didn't think I could grind enough to guarantee her. She literally came on a random single pull I skipped

I'm very rational and like- optimal? in genshin. If you follow me/know my content you know what I mean

but in star rail I kinda do whatever I want. Usually I pull characters based on aesthetics (pretty women = pull) and although I stick to team-building basics I'm far from optimal

I am a proud hook main (built her bc e6, kept playing her bc she's adorable and hits decently hard?) and I was very glad to see black swan kindaaaaaa fits into my team although I don't even have Kafka (yet)

New posts coming soon! I think I'll be making a general guide for like- getting started on improving? Like how to farm for the right artifacts and go from bad stats to an actually impressive build that you're proud of! This is something I have a lot of personal experience with since my builds used to be really bad, I didn't have any good crit ratios but slowly I started learning how to choose good pieces, then noticing how my characters actually had decent crit ratios, and now having top 1%, 3%, and 4% characters!

that's all for this little update post, have a wonderful day!

FINALLY WHAT PEEPS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!! Announcement!!! @jordanstrophe and I are going to collab for a few pieces!!! Here is the first piece of our collab!

Gabriel and Walter belong to @jordanstrophe

my masterlist / jordan's masterlist!

Pheonix eyed the suit that laid, spread out over his bed. He looked back to Noah, “I- I thought I wasn't going to the casino tonight?” Noah chuckled, “Nah, don't worry, you're not going to the casino.” Pheonix’s eyebrows furrowed, “But where-”

“-Oh Jesus, just get fucking changed, we don't have all night.” Pheonix nodded and Noah turned around, back facing Pheonix. He slipped into his usual dressy pant bottoms and button-up polo shirt.

Just as Pheonix ruffled his hair into the position Mateo liked it. Noah checked his watch and clicked his tongue, “Alright, let's get you upstairs, boss will be waiting.” Pheonix nodded silently, fiddling with his shaking hands.

Mateo’s eyes lit up as he saw his lucky charm, “Ah, mi amor! Look at you!” Pheonix looked down at the carpet. “Oh, come here, sit on my lap for a second!” When Pheonix didn't move, Noah shoved him forward. Pheonix stumbled into Mateo’s arms. Mateo chuckled and squeezed Pheonix, propping him properly onto his lap.

“Now, today I’m bringing you out for our one week anniversary! But first I need to set some ground rules. First of all, you will only speak when I say that you can, fail to do so, let's just say, Aurora and I will have our fun with you.” Phoenix gulped and Mateo ran his possessive hand through Pheonix’s hair.

“That punishment goes with all of the rules. I will have an earpiece so if I leave you alone, I get to hear every single word you say. If you are well behaved, you get a day off from the casino, understood?”

Pheonix nodded quickly, “Yes sir.” Mateo smiled, “Good. Now, Noah, you will drive us over there and I’ll bring you back something, got it?” Noah nodded and went to fetch his coat. Pheonix dared a look over to Martín who was scowling at him from the corner of the room.

Sammy was in the other room playing with the playstation with some other gang members that Pheonix did not know the names of. Mateo snapped his fingers in front Pheonix, “Amor, you ready to go?” Pheonix nodded, “Y-yeah, but where are we going.” Mateo grinned, “Now that, that is a surprise mi pájaro.” Pheonix gulped, “P-please-”

“-Ah, ah, ah, I wanted to have a fun night with you, so, you can either go and have some fun or I’ll see how many whip lashings it would take to make you scream. Which one would you prefer?” Phoenix cleared his throat, “The um, the first one.”

Mateo smiled, “That's what I thought.”

Noah was ordered to pull the car over about ten minutes away from wherever they were going. Pheonix was in the back, hands tied with zip ties. Mateo opened the passenger seat and got out, doing his usual handshake with Noah, “Volveremos en unas horas.” Noah nodded and winked, “Disfrútala.”

Mateo hauled Pheonix out of the backseat. Mateo was dressed smartly in a proper tux and his dark grey hair was spiked up with just the right ratio of jell to not make it look messy.

“Ah, there you are mi amor!” He took out his pocket knife and cut the zip ties, freeing Pheonix’s bound arm. Pheonix hissed as rubbed his aching wrists.

Mateo slid a possessive arm around Pheonix, not allowing him any space, “come one, we’ll be late!” Late? Where the hell were they going???

They walked along a river that stretched through the busy city. Pheonix was shocked that he was allowed to be here but then the threats came back to him. Pheonix looked at the lake, the ducks quaking happily. The seagulls flapped their wings above the trees and the swans glided elegantly along the water.

Mateo chuckled as he watched Pheonix’s eyes studied the scene. It had been a while since he had been outside Pheonix almost felt as if he could cry. No, not in front of that man beside him. That man whose smile wouldn't twitch after killing a man.

They stopped in front of a bright lighted restaurant, Pheonix looked over at Mateo. “Happy one-week anniversary mi amor!” Pheonix gulped, “Do I get t-to eat?” Mateo chuckled, “Of course, now come on, I have a good reputation here, let's not ruin that!”

Mateo guided Pheonix inside. It was loud as people chatted and laughed. There was some soft piano music playing. Pheonix closed his eyes, focusing on the soft notes as Mateo told the reservation name. The waitress smiled, “Perfect! Welcome back Mateo, we have to boot booked just for you!”

Mateo returned the smile and guided Pheonix, following the waitress, making Pheonix flinch as he was interrupted from his nirvana. They sat at the booth, only meters away from the piano. Pheonix studied the pianist. His black curly hair brushed against his head as he played the piano passionately.

Pheonix was interrupted again by Mateo snapping his fingers again. “Hey, pájaro, do I have competition?” Pheonix blinked a few times, “Oh, um no, sorry.” Mateo smiled, “No worries, I know I’m better than him anyway.” Pheonix looked at the oak table.

“You like the music?” Pheonix nodded quickly, eyes glued on the table. “Ah, good, maybe we can say hello to them after our dinner, hm?” Pheonix looked over again at the pianist, there was a man who sat right behind the pianist, only centimetres away. Before he got lost in his thoughts again, the waitress came over.

“Hiya! What can I get for ya?” Pheonix’s head snapped up to Matteo who smiled, “Hi…. Stephanie, for the starters I’ll have the caviar blinis and Pheonix here will have… hmm, actually, we can share the starters, wouldn't want to waste our hunger on starters when there are two more courses! Hm?” Pheonix gulped and nodded.

“For mains, we will both have a steak, medium rare, and dessert, hmm the raspberry ripple cheesecake please!” Stephanie scribbled the order down quickly in her notepad and smiled, “Perfect! Can I get any drinks to start?”

Mateo looked up at Pheonix, realising he didn't know Pheonix’s age, “Just two waters, thank you.” The waitress left and Mateo rested his foot gently over Pheonix’s, Pheonix looked up. “You're doing good mi amor!” Pheonix forced a smile, “Thanks, um, thank you for bringing me here.”

“And you're being grateful! Oh my, I was going to save this for later, but -ah heck, here you go.” Mateo produced a neatly wrapped parcel with black wrapping paper. Pheonix eyed it suspiciously and looked at Mateo, encouraging him to open it.

Pheonix sighed and slowly unwrapped the small gift. There was a box which he slowly opened, revealing a ring. His heart stopped and his face blanched. Mateo chuckled, “Oh, don't you worry, I'm not asking you to marry me.. Yet.” Pheonix gulped and took out the ring. There was a black snake on it. “Here, let me put it on for you.” Mateo took the ring and Pheonix’s hand. He gently put the ring on Pheonix’s thumb, “Now look at that, don't you look beautiful!”

The night went on and the music continued, different classical songs were played. Most of them Pheonix never heard before. At some point after dessert, Mateo went to the bathroom, leaving Pheonix alone in the booth. He pulled at his ear nervously and fidgeted with his ring. Of course, that bastard gave him a ring with a fucking snake on it.

Before the two of them left, Mateo guided Pheonix over towards the pianist and the other man. “Walter! It's a pleasure to finally meet you!” Pheonix looked up at Mateo, confused. Had he met that man before?

“So this must be Gabriel?” Walter put a hand on Gabriel’s shoulder and he immediately stopped playing, “S-sorry,” He blushed. Mateo smiled, “No worries, my boy Pheonix has a special eye for you.” Pheonix blushed and looked at the ground as he felt Gabriel’s eye on him. Walter chuckled, “Well, I can't say the same, I think Gabriel prefers the other gender, but I’d say he likes the attention.”

Mateo smiled, “Listen, while you're out here in the city, can I offer you a drink?”
