I know pretty boy sqq is more canon-accurate and I will always love him but I can't help but be so fond of the early sqq designs that just made him look like a 30 year old Guy . Like if this sqq had an English name it would be Richard Shen or something. You get what I mean

I've seen people talking about omega verse with Alpha and wondered what omega verse is?

sometimes I develop stock backstories for a particular character that I can tweek for a variety of aus because i just like the vibe. Like Cas growing up in a big religiously abusive family on an isolated farm and maybe murdering his dad in his teens and getting away with it (don't worry about it.)
Anyway one I like for supernatural generally is just like. The Apocalypse gets derailed entirely by accident and no one has any idea what to do now. On the one hand it's a very utilitarian thing. I wanna write early seasons fic without the looming threat of the apocalypse hanging over everything sometimes you know? But I also just really like that vibe. The fact that the world is never going to end as like a source of existential horror. Especially for this species whose purpose is entirely tied up in the apocalypse. What does a world look like when it's been abandoned by God and just keeps on going? The same as it always did.
I like to imagine the slow death of heaven as the debate on if they should restart the apocalypse and how rages, and as they try to figure out what went wrong and who's to blame the lies that sustain this system start to crumble. They find out God hasn't been giving orders for a long time and now the final thread of prophecy he left them has snapped and they're left floundering. Some dedicated few go searching for him but when it becomes clear he's not to be found and isn't coming back it all just starts to seem so pointless. The archangels are locked in debate over what to do next, middle management is just trying to keep dissent from spreading, and all the while more rank and file angels are just... slipping out the back door when no one's looking. They aren't needed in heaven, they aren't needed anywhere, what can they do but try to find some purpose for themselves? And what better example to follow than those small ignorant favoured creations who have always had to construct meaning for themselves in the face of the daunting prospect of free will?
That's where Castiel goes looking anyway.
My favourite version of this is one where he ends up making a Reverse Doomsday Cult.

how do u make ur pixel art so high res ?
I'm still learning myself, but this is my process! I even forget to change the settings to "hard edges" sometimes and it still comes out fine. I usually bump the scale up by 10, but that really depends on your canvas size. Mine are around 480 x 270 pixels usually and then x 10 for resolution. I imagine you can use this with any program that allows you to edit the resolution.
Here are a few tutorials I found that could be helpful for step by step assistance:

^ if you are interested in the thought process of pixel art and someone who is just genuinely passionate about it, I highly recommend watching this channel. They cover a lot regarding pixel art and analyze retro games.

I've never used this before myself and just found it today, but Lospec is a website full of resources for pixel artists. It even has a place where you can drop your original pixel art and scale it up without having to worry about blurring! Here is the page
Additionally here is a video covering free and paid programs that could be used for pixel art or are specifically made for it!

Tumblr and ao3 are the pinnacle of website design. Ao3's filters are amazing. Tumblr's tag system is great. I go to any other site, save something months ago and then never will be able to find it again. I read a thread on twitter that I adore and have to hope that the author has it saved to a "link to the threads" tweet pinned on their page in order to find it again. I read something interesting screenshotted on Instagram and cannot find it when it becomed relevant again. I have to dig down and down and down on someone's page to find anything from years ago.
It's honestly a nightmare.
