Alpha Structural, Los Angeles área, https://www.alphastructural.com/
We’ve contacted Alpha Structural a few times, most recently for foundation repair and a seismic retrofit. The other companies gave us similar estimates in the $25,000 range. Alpha’s bid was over $100,000 and did not include the cost of the permits. The contract also mentioned that they would not be responsible for any damage to the house that occurred during the repair. Even worse, they made it sound like they were the only company capable of doing the job.
The other companies were licensed foundation companies, so this claim seemed ridiculous and the bid didn’t seem serious.
I contacted them for another job and they never responded.
They might be good for complicated hillside repairs. We will not be contacting them again.
3 out of 5 stars

It's supposed to be about the meeting, Magnus!
Raphael: "Everyone in favor of Magnus never being made to keep protocol of the cabinet meeting again, say aye."
Every downworld leader: "Aye."
Magnus: "I take offense to that."
Raphael: "Do you need me to read the latest one you wrote?
'The meeting, as always, began at an incredibly inconvenient time, which prevented my boyfriend and me from a quality make out session. Non-the-less, Alexander Lightwood started the discussion about unimportant statistics and looking glorious while listing incredibly boring numbers. I did not care to note them down, being distracted as I was by the tousled hair he hadn’t quite managed to tame down, before the mood killers, otherwise known as the downworld Leaders, entered the room.'"
#magnus bane#alec lightwood#malec#malec headcanons#crack#shadowhunters tv#Raphael Santiago#also I think there should be more downworld leaders than just 4?#because Luke may be alpha of the biggest werewolf clan but it's not the only one?#and the same goes for Raphael#I feel like more people should have a say in such manners#like give it two people of every faction#meliorn as the only seelie míght make sense considering how they are structured#but we could also throw in some unseelies#or other were people#why is it only werewolves?#if all the legends are true I demand more than just warlocks; vampires; werewolves and seelies

one of my favorite things to play around with, in omegaverse? changing what something "usually" means.
family = parents and biological children in a shared household?
not any more its not!
family = a group of friends who share a house together like they have for years, even after forming partnerships with others or having kids
family = a queer platonic couple, the kids they adopted (despite being able to procreate together if they wanted to), and the neighbors that are like siblings to them
family = three generations of parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who might as well be family, who rally around each other in good times and bad
family = two lifelong best friends who went from playing together as kids, to raising families, to growing old, while becoming the cornerstones of their neighborhood
family = one big old polycule spread across multiple households, and the assortment of kids who have called them aunties and uncles from day one
family = a happily single person, their pets, and the network of friends that they feel safe going to whenever problems are bigger than one person should carry
family = a couple, their newborns, the siblings who help out, and the grandparents who are first in line to babysit
family = a single parent, their kids, and a very robust support network
family = a group of people who care about each other but aren't compatible when it comes to sharing a home, being very supportive - just from a distance - with or without other elements
and the fun thing is, you can slot any type of person into these setups!
make the two best friends look like the default "boy meets girl" rom-com pairing but with zero sexual tension.
make the people who sound like the most stereotypical suburban family, incredibly queer visually.
want your packs to be multi-generational households by default? go for it!
want to explore belonging beyond the nuclear family or the quest to create one? sure thing!
it gets even more interesting based on the social positions of the six sexes.
(in my head: primary sex = alpha, beta, omega. secondary sex = male, female. to keep from having to list them all, its "six sexes" but in some settings there can be more or less)
for example: what if there's a society that separates alphas and omegas as a general practice? it's the task of all omegas to run the towns and villages and see to their defense; alphas, on reaching presentation, are trained to watch over the land and tend to the region as a whole. if the two groups tend to mix mostly with those they share a classification with, how do their family groups appear?
or what if the society is arranged less like our human ones, and more like specific animal groups? if your packs operate more like a bee hive, how does that change their view of family, future generations, and group membership?
basically: there are lots of types of families, even irl, so making packs unique is more fun to me than going "parents and their kids" despite that being the most accurate to actual wolf pack structures
(though, since that structure isn't super typical to how we show families in media, i do kinda want to explore an established one! just not super interested in the "couple meets and raises their first baby" part because there's already a lot of focus on that as what "happily ever after" looks like. i want to get into how the following generation finds meaning and sets goals without doing as their parents did)
#omegaverse worldbuilding#omegaverse headcanons#sfw omegaverse#alpha/beta/omega dynamics#a/o/b is primary sex i will die on that hill#until or unless i see a fic where omega males are treated like alpha males#because its clearly not the being a male part thats the most important in that case lol#my example social structure may or may not have been an attempt at remembering how viera society works without referencing anything#thinking about ov when i have free time: 🤦#thinking about ov when i should be getting ready for work: 🙋#the dictionary: brain rot is 2024 word of the year!#me: ah yes... (eyes my ever growing collection of ov related google docs) dont have to defije that for me#sfw ov brain rot (affectionate)#kinda want to make an ov setting where adoption is a first choice method in modern times?#maybe as some kinda divide between the act of parenting and the act of procreation?#is it possible to do without making the setting really dark though? hmmm tbd#my brain is either “thing i like but with omegaverse added!” or “what if omegaverse worked like this?” no in between

thinking about making a pack au where they actually stick closer to hyenas than whatever the fuck they did in that episode
bc uh he-LLO? hyenas are like... one of the BIG popular matriarchal animals and we just acted like xander was all scary now? pshh. I mean he was hyenas are scary but buffy is absolutely highest rank top dog here no wayyy he'd be all scary to her since they're already y'know a "pack" of sorts. like I'm pretty sure he'd still defer to her. plus willow! her making friends with buffy first and just generally being a girl he'd rank below her as well (though I do wonder where his stance with giles would be)
and I get that xander already sorta had a new clan with the other possessed kids but even then why was HE at the top of that hierarchy?? in fact it was so barely structured at all I'm only assuming xander was a high rank bc he's just one of our mains. and the shot of them all walking ofc where he was front and center I can read basic filmmaking choices lol
but also hyenas have FRIENDS! they have cliques and groups within their own clan. isn't that so cool? why did they just disregard xander's friendship with the scoobies? I think the fact xander had friends and quite loyal ones is like important? I mean okay I suppose it's all he's in this clan now he's cut ties with the scoobies, but to me at least I think that's kinda boring haha. though actually even if xander had the support of the scoobies, with how that clan were already a group before xander and not with xander at all, he'd actually probably be like real goddamn low anyways instead of more equal like it was shown
look I really have no idea about any of this I've just been looking up hyena facts for the past hour bc I thought it was neat. I simply think they should've done more with this instead of oo look xander's all feral and evil when they literally chose hyena to be their animal. like ooookay then whateverrrr lame
#they should've just done wolves or smth why the hell did they pick hyenas if they weren't even gonna play with their more unique structure#btw PACK? not CLAN? guys seriously re see above they just wanted to be different while still riding off of wolf girls#buffy IS the leader. highest of the high. top rank here. she's the alpha female since that is apparently what they're called lol#I just don't see why xander would Act like he did in that episode if we we're going off of hyenas and not some other predator#even if we go off the idea he broke ties with the scoobs as outsider females I think both wils and buff r still doing better than him#ANYWAYS. that's my two cents this episode was silly and I wish they'd had more fun playing with the animal they chose#someone with more spotted hyena knowledge should talk to me I'd LOVE to learn more I think these animals are so fucking cool#xander harris#btvs#buffy the vampire slayer#alright I did a little more googling and interesting! xander and wil might outdo buffy in the whole friendship department#so I THINK their clan WOULD have a far more level playing field simply because of how close everyone is. neat neat neat!#but buffy could still kick their asses be fr

how goes your wip
The bad news is, werewolf wip is on hold because I have lost control of my life.
The good news is, I am almost done with the reason I lost control of my life. the worse news is that it's aob:
“Jason, what is this?”
Jason looks up at Tim from across the kitchen table in Wayne Manor, brows scrunched and mouth twisting around his own mouthful of omelet in a grumpy frown. He doesn’t bother swallowing first, and bits of egg fly out when he replies.
“The fuck’s it look like?”
Tim eyes him, kinda grossed out, but mostly confused. It’s too early for this. “It looks like you made me breakfast?”
Jason looks between Tim and the frankly beautiful ham-and-mushroom omelet steaming on the plate he’d put down in front of Tim about two minutes ago. Tim had been so absorbed in his coffee and waking up, that he hadn’t quite clocked it at first. That it was very likely meant to be for him.
“If you don’t want it—” Jason says, a weird note in his voice as he reaches out.
Tim hauls the plate in close, grabbing the fork and hunching over it protectively. “That’s not what I said.”
#i am delighted by this fic but also meeting werewolf fic behind the bleachers and frantically saying 'babe it's not like that'#'shes just a oneshot i swear! yeah she's already over 7k but come on! you know it's not serious! not like it is with you...'#i've been seduced by the 5ish+1 structure and the siren song of a trope i've never written before and can think of as werewolf-lite#also werewolf fic is from tim's perspective and suprise: he's not the werewolf. i don't get to write weird scent stuff in the narrative :(#but aob fic...i get to write weird scent stuff in the narrative >:)#aob fic features beta tim because this world deserves more beta tim x alpha jason content#i read a fic with a similar premise and went “HM. i wanna expand on this”#felinemotif#asked and answered#my writing#jaytim#thanks for the check in <3

Sometimes I do have the urge to make an omegaverse sideblog because I think I could do quite well and as a bonus it would be a fantastic way to advocate about the family structure of wolves and change some people’s knowledge from the outdated alpha theory to the actual pack structure observed by biologists while still working within an understandable medium
#I also think the knowledge that the wild wolves are quite family oriented irl#and don’t follow the alpha structure that was seen in captive wolves#could lend itself to how omegaverse tends to be quite familial#I have to do more wolf research and might go down a rabbit hole but i was reading stuff by a professor who’s also a wolf researcher#and it was fascinating

wait hold on...you should oc post on main where can I hear more about these silly guys
HI HI HI HELLO YOU HAVE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD
So I haven't posted a Ton about them but Cam and Apollo (and Paul) are the main characters from an original story I'm writing!
It's a sendup of a supernatural romance novel where I said what if there were three werewolves and they were all gay for each other and the het love interest did her own thing <3
I honestly really wanna post about them more (and honestly might do so v soon seeing as I wanna keep writing them real bad) but they are, essentially:
Paul- Heir of the pack, meant to be the hyper masculine alpha dude his father wanted him to be but actually just a bit of a soft, anxious, and generally sweet (if oblivious) guy. Medium build, lil bit of a soft tum, mousy brown hair, soft brown eyes <3 So deep in the closet he's coughing up mothballs
Cameron (Cam)- Paul's childhood friend and communal trickster/wrongdoer, Cam is a scrappy yet perpetually cheerful omega on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Would kill for Paul but would much rather live with him, far away from their pack, maybe in a nice little house together... Knows he's gay but still working on admitting he's into Paul. Short king, strawberry blonde hair, super fast runner and message boy for the pack
Apollo- Brother of the woman Paul is arranged to be married to, from a neighboring pack. Whoops. Built like a soldier cuz he basically is one, tall dark and glowery, the image of an alpha dude except he's a beta. He may or may not be running away from his own gay-induced problems back home but wait what's this- a man so nice you literally can't hate him and his spitfire best friend who either hates your guts or is flirting with you and you like both against your will? Well heck.
What will these boys get up to <3
#THANK YOU FOR ASKING ABOUT THEM#im unwell about these guys <3#also for anyone wondering this is NOT a/b/o like that#its more like toxic alpha bro speak cuz their pack structure is Bad#gay werewolves#i need a better tag for them but thats what ive got aidkfjg#hitheeblither#cillpiines

I'm 30 something right now and I don't know how it is for everybody else but I remember that a vast amount of my ground-level skills were driven not by formal education but by simply needing them to do something I enjoy. Online adoptables are so cute so I need to learn how to make a folder on the computer to save them. If I want to use the chat room I need to type on the keyboard. If I want to not suck at pokemon I need to be able to read what the moves do. I 'obtained' the oran berry, what's that mean?
I can't imagine all of that's gone but instead of blaming kids about what is gone maybe we should be horrified that they live in some kinda wasteland where they can't go anywhere and there's nowhere to go anyway and the easiest stuff to do is to get passively farmed like dairy cows, and they don't even get paid for the rest of their time.
I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."
#'gen alpha can't read' how about 'whole population targeted by predatory practices'#like our current structure in the world only puts barriers of 'capability' on things that make money like competition to get a job#but puts no barriers on either spending that money or sitting through stuff that makes someone else money#so if you don't need to make money yet to live the extraction-driven norm is going to grease your way#and then slam you into a wall when suddenly you need to be 'this tall' to ride (read: deserve to survive via making money)
