those wips you spend an obsene amount of time on and still cant finish

Sometimes I worry that I might actually be faking the whole not a lot of gender except a sprinkle of guy on top thing, and then i am aggressively gendered as a cis woman in day-to-day life and remember why i don't go out much.

Andrew Tate being arrested because he tried to have a beef with Greta Thunberg, and her not only owning him but him also exposing himself being in Romania at the time with a lameass comeback is the best possible way this year could have ended. I never thought I would see something like this but GODDAMN I LOVE IT.

By the way, I've been told that the organisation that urged Romania to work against human trafficking is called GRETA (group of experts on action against trafficking in human beings)

GOD HAS TUMBLR HUMOUR PEOPLE

God, I went to see what Sasori's first line in the manga was & it's about Orochimaru having left 7 whole years ago... I had in mind it were five.

And that's the appearance before Shippuuden.

Cue me stupidly getting angry about the timeline again

Hi Pia! I read all your non-o-verse stories and now I am lost. Because you have so much more, but I hate a-b-o dynamic? Yesterday you wrote to user who said that they like a lot of everything I hate, and you wrote you don't quite like it eather. idk if it appropriate to ask of you, but could you kinda explain to people who don't like omegaverse why could I enjoy it from you?I hope it isnt rude. damn. sorry if it is(((but your writing is so amazing, rich and full of life..but I am afraid..(sorry!

Hi anon,

I didn't understand all of your message (I'm not sure what non-o-verse means at all) but I'll do my best with what I do.

Because you have so much more, but I hate a-b-o dynamic?

I'm confused. Less than 5% of my writing online is omegaverse or a/b/o? So unless you've read 95% of my writing and have encountered Underline the Black, if you have most of the other writing to read, none of it will be omegaverse. There's only one series online that I've written which is omegaverse and that's the one I'm writing at the moment. Nothing else is.

You don't have to read something you don't enjoy re: Underline the Black, it's only a tiny proportion of my writing online anyway!

idk if it appropriate to ask of you, but could you kinda explain to people who don't like omegaverse why could I enjoy it from you?

The thing is, I can't really do this, and I don't think it's my job to convince you to read or like something you've just told me you hate. And I don't know why you hate it, so I can't tell you why you'd enjoy my version of an omegaverse.

I can speak about it a little more broadly though.

People don't like omegaverse for a lot of different reasons. And people like me who do love omegaverse love it for a lot of different reasons. hundreds of reasons. It would be like saying 'what do people get out of romance stories?' Aside from the happy ending, it could be literally anything. So my answer to you is people like it for 'literally any reason.' You could look at any other kind of story you like, think about why you like it, and that's why people like omegaverse. They're just not squicked by it, so it's not complicated for them to enjoy it (for the most part). As soon as you're squicked by something, it doesn't matter how many things it has that you enjoy, you're going to be squicked, lol.

There's no universal omegaverse tropes beyond having alphas, betas, and omegas (or just alphas and omegas sometimes). I've published omegaverse stories with no sex. I've written omegaverse stories with sex but no sex during heats. I've read things in omegaverse that people don't expect to read and I've read the tropes and enjoyed them too. And there's lots of different reasons, but mostly I like angst, I like hurt/comfort, I like dubcon, I like trans and nonbinary metaphors even if they're clumsy, I like stories of self-acceptance, and you know what, I like those across genre, not just in omegaverse.

I'll be honest anon, I'm not really interested in selling you some 'special unique' version of omegaverse that I'm writing, because I like the classic tropes too, and I can't guarantee that I'm not going to put in things into this story which you're going to hate. I may have already done it. Idk why omegaverse squicks you personally, but chances are I'll write or already have written one of those things at least once, lol.

I'm not writing anything special or unique. A lot of omegaverse is subversive re: some of the tropes and not with others; and that's what I'm writing too. Underline the Black is proud to be an omegaverse story complete with a lot of omegaverse tropes, and it's been tagged accordingly. I sometimes zig where people expect me to be zag, but the rape/noncon warning is there for a reason (along with disturbing themes and dystopian universe).

Some people can't handle omegaverse to enjoy the angst or hurt/comfort or other tropes that they'd enjoy in other stories, and that's fine. My job isn't to make you read something you hate, anon, that would be bad news for both of us. I can't convince you you're going to like something when you've just told me you hate it, and it's mostly up to you to look at the tags carefully, and then decide what you think.

Like I said above, the vast majority of my online writing is not omegaverse, 95%+ isn't omegaverse. I'm just enjoying a/b/o right now, because it's one of my favourite things to read, so I'm enjoying writing it too. Whether you read it or not is your choice, and your responsibility, anon!

Uno Shoma returns to his origin with a “chanson” as he faces new season as the World Champion.

  TEAMING UP WITH FORMER COACH HIGUCHI MIHOKO FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS 24 years old Uno Shoma (Toyota Corp.) who won his first World Championship last season in Men’s Figure Skating, took a step towards the next stage without losing his “natural” charm. On August 25, at Kose Shin Yokohama Skate Center in Yokohama, he performed his exhibition number ‘Padam, padam’ for the first time at the public rehearsal of Friends on Ice which marks the end of summer ice show season.  Riding on the relaxing masterpiece of "Chanson" which has a vague melancholy and a gorgeous melody, the performance by the figure skater who became the world champion after growing from the bottom through ups and downs, highlighted Uno Shoma’s personality. These past few years had also been a turbulent period with big changes as an athlete. He regarded even ice shows as a place where he wants to improve himself at, and seemed to re-challenge his return to origins by teaming up for the first time in 3 years. DETERMINED TO ENHANCE HIS POWER OF EXPRESSION, “A PATH I’VE CHOSEN MYSELF” Shoma Uno, who won the silver medal at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, made the big decision in June 2019 to leave the coaches of Machiko Yamada and Mihoko Higuchi, who had been coaching him since he was five years old. The scene of him teaming up with his former coach Higuchi Mihoko after a long time was also uploaded on Uno Shoma’s official YouTube.  Having known each other since his childhood, the smile as she gives advice about his stance right before the song begins or on the detailed choreography of his finish, reveals their trusting relationship, slightly different to the one he has with ex-World Champion Stephane Lambiel.  Uno Shoma commented, “I want to move forward on the path I’ve chosen myself without rushing anything. Things like choreography as well, since I chose this sport called Figure Skating, even though jumps get the most points, I think expression is one of the charms of figure skating, so I think it will continue to demonstrate it’s true value at ice shows.” And he pledged a new challenge to improve his expressive power on ice.  “I hope to skate to various programs so I can show everyone even a little different side of me, so that they can be surprised and have fun.”   THIS SEASON’S GP SERIES ARE SKATE CANADA AND NHK TROPHY. This season Shoma Uno, set goals to his “progress” of acquiring the highly difficult quadruple lutz, and shows interest in the blues-guitar song “Gravity”, his new SP. Officially announcing Bach’s Air as his new Free Program, he’s scheduled for this season’s Grand Prix Series’ second round in Skate Canada (October 28-30, Missisauga)  and fifth round in NHK Trophy (November 18-20, Sapporo). There’s no comparing the relationship of trust he has with Coach Lambiel, who had been a savior from the period he was without a coach, with the time he spent returning to his origins with Coach Higuchi Mihoko.   On his own YouTube he spoke of a unique relationship of trust, “With Stephane, Stephane does it (new programs) by himself. I feel like I have to imitate that, but I’ve known (Higuchi) Mihoko Sensei since a long time ago, so I think I have a relationship I can only have with Mihoko Sensei where I can say things like ‘Is it like this? Is it like that?’”  When asked about his vision of an ideal athlete, Shoma Uno mentioned Nathan Chen (USA) who recently won Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. Towards a new stage as a skater. Shoma Uno doesn’t intend to stop his “growth” even after becoming the world champion.  30 August 2022, Source || spaia.jp

It's very possible that the only way to ensure you don't become a conservative old person is to keep checking whether you're wrong. Every time. Genuinely mull over the opposing viewpoint even and especially when it's uncomfortable. You absolutely cannot a) consider yourself safely incapable of terrible principles because you're a good person, or b) treat a your disgust reaction to something as a moral truth. You can't get comfortable. Tiring! But you'd rather be tired and choose the right path, you know?

i think i just lost braincells.

it's always agonizing when people bend over backwards to delude themselves and invent 'representation'. but to discard actual canon rep (and extremely well-done heartbreaking gutwrenching multilayered canon rep) in favour of imaginary tropey nothingness?

pain. i am in pain.

to be fair url hoarding is also against tos

not that the ban was justified or anything but taking urls is still against the rules as well so i wouldn't recommend it

Yeah but nobody cares about that rule. It doesn't hurt anybody. At most it's just a mild annoyance when you find a url that is being saved rather than used. I don't actually think people get banned for it

no they don't. you are merely skimming the surface of mundane shit that can be wrong with old houses with your one puny little explanation that only fits a very small number of cases. try harder
