my favorite type of event to work as a tech worker has always been dance concerts/recitals, which means that in the ~3 years I’ve been working tech i’ve probably worked over 200 hours of just pure dance performances (literally just as an extracurricular/occasionally under the table cash)

what this means for me is that you could give me just about any sort of lyrical, indie, musical, or pop song and i have, in fact, seen a dance to it.

A tad late to announcing this but if you like Snatcher possessing MC Ride of Death Grips (don't question it) and want to know what the fuck I've been up to as of late. check out popular soundcloud and youtube tournament 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓖𝓪𝓶𝓮 please you won't regret it

Just saw Kaja's update on the main site and I am SO RELIEVED. When creators get sick, two worlds tremble.

In the meantime, please sit with me in the time in 2022 when someone online saw that the Folio Society was putting out a (gorgeous, fancy, expensive) edition of The Lord of the Rings, and wondered (on Twitter, I think) what a Foglio Society version of LOTR would look like.

Phil's answer:

Every casting decision here is 100% accurate.

I hope it makes your day a little happier too. (I don't think we've ever gotten a color version, but if anyone has that, please, please share.)

Something in my dumb lizard brain clicked and decided to make a Ninjago x Kung Fu Panda AU, starting with the villains (Morro + Tai Lung, Harumi + Lord Shen and Overlord/Crystal King + Kai)

"I've been the archer, I've been the prey, screaming who could ever leave me darling but who could stay?" but it's legolas & "always an angel, never a god." but it's aragorn

Going absolutely insane realizing that Anne McAffrey and Dragonriders of Pern got completely left out of the "origins of omegaverse" conversation even though it totally fits. So okay, omegaverse specifically is attributed to the supernatral fandom and the omegaverse wikipedia page claims the first fanfics with the trope pop up around 2010-2011 ish. The "History" section of the wikipedia page also attributes the laying the ground for this trope to appear for Star Trek's Pon Farr and Ursula Le Guin's kemmer, both of which appear in the late 1960's. You know what else appears in the late 1960's? The first Dragonriders of Pern book. For those unfamiliar with the series, let me lay out a few details that are a bit omegaverse-y.

When a dragon is ready to mate with another dragon, their rider also gets extremely horny, and will fuck the rider of whichever dragon mates with theirs, their actual feelings towards the other human involved be damned. (Is this extremely non-con-y? Yes. Is it adressed in text?... kinda? sorta? Not to the standards of the modern day reader, but it might have been enough at the time, I really don't know). Heats are frequently the central focus of omegaverse fic when the author is going for porn rather than complex exploration of gender roles.

The color of the Dragon acts as a sort of secondary gender, in that the color of the dragon applies certain social statuses to the rider, dictating what they can or can't do, who is or is not bullied, etc. This comes from the fact that the dragon's color is linked to it's gender, so Green and Gold are Female, Blue, Brown, and Bronze are male. The gender of dragon and rider usually matched in the beginning of the concept of dragon riders, but has diverged over time. As not all male green dragon riders (a common type of dragonrider) are gay, and no in-text dragons are gay, this leads to problems. And stereotypes. And problems. Sometimes of the rape variety. Frequently of the "well your dragon wants it so you do too" variety. non-dragonrider society (the majority of Pern) is overtly and violently homophobic, so you can see how this leads to many large problems, similar to how in omegaverse fic male omegas are frequently ostracized/looked down on

As mentioned in the points above, only the female dragons go into heat. They do this cyclically and predictably, so riders will frequently arrange to have their favorite partner nearby when the heat starts so that they will be taken care of. Another favorite of omegaverse smut writers.

Basically what I'm saying is if you're an omegaverse lover who is also interested in fantasy you have an extensive book series to add to your TBR list. And I can't believe nobody has pointed this out in a way that has stuck before, considering how well it lines up. Actually I can, I just remembered that Anne McAffrey was one of those authors who thought fanfic was evil and going to steal her sales and so fic of her books barely exists. From what I can find, it seems like fans instead turned to rp'ing on forums instead of writing fanfic, and a lot of those forums have been eaten by the changing of the internet and not archived anywhere. :(

The Elves bring in an external contractor...
