controversial maybe but something about kt, eddie and fabianâs chemistry in 3a just wasnât quite as good as it couldâve been? like they spent soo much time together in wacky scenarios and in pairs they were really fun and interesting and I just donât feel like the writing carried that through into the trio??
#house of anubis#this is NOT an invitation to hate on s3 to me#@ that one anon donât you dare!!!#but I think this is a lot of why 3a felt so much weaker to me than 3b#like especially in comparison to the alfie and patricia duo because they worked SO well together#that in contrast the other three were lacking#like donât get me wrong it wasnt that bad like it wasnât unwatchable#but they literally broke into a mental hospital together were locked in a literal crypt over night and schemed to kidnap teachers#and those situations had such interesting potential that I donât necessarily feel were utilised most interestingly#like one of my fave scenes of the three of them is when eddie fakes hearing frobisher speak#and even that almost fell flat??#like itâs entirely in character for the other two to be like âeddie!!â but there wasnât much chemistry behind it if that makes sense#l feel like in comparison to other similar sibuna moments throughout the show that wouldâve felt a lot more natural and fun even if it was#still a more serious situation#this post is for my fellow s3 enjoyers just to see if anyone gets what I mean idk#like I understand that there was a lot of tension between them at these times but that could always be said of sibuna#and I think 3b fixing this and using eddie and fabian especially to their full extent is what made it for me#hoa#s3 watch#txt

So. I made a bet with my friend that I could get through Omegaverse Haikyuu fanfiction because he says I canât so if I read https://archiveofourown.org/works/13330632/chapters/30514041 that Iâm going to get free icecream and twenty bucks.
But still, Bokuaka! Bokuaka is beautiful, I should rant about it more actually
This is me talking about this fic as I read, so itâll be updated until I finish
Note, Iâve finished and itâs very very long. Youâve been warned
Thereâs my review and meta at the end of this as well as some critiques
Spoilers ahead.
âThe Jewel of Seijouâ
THE WHAT NOW
IWAOIIII
Bokuaka is so fucking cute dear god.
Oh. Itâs sinful now
Ushijima better stop throwing shade at my boiâs
â"I can't believe you all think that you can go against the crown and live!" Ushishima says silencing them all. The alpha was slowly emitting his pheromones wanting to show them all his superiority. No one said a word against him. "Toru! I didn't know you'll be as lowly to use your family name to gather us here!" The alpha seethed to the omega that could have been his wife. Iwazumi hackles raised and bared his lips at the beginning of a growl. "And you!" Ushijima turned to Bokuto full on emitting his pheromones making the rest of the alpha's shoulder hackle cautiously and Oikawa to cling at Iwazumi. But Bokuto meet Ushijima calmly, unfazed by the bloodlust while Akaashi was frozen to his spot but didn't show any emotion.â
So what we get out of this paragraph is
1) Bitchy Ushi. I love Ushijima donât get me wrong heâs precious but like. This fic Ushijima? Son of a bitch walking up in here like âToru! How dare you be so lowlyââ and fucking trying to dominate everyone.
2) Protective Iwaizumi. Protect the precious Seijou Jewel. Do it, fight for him, protect him heâs scared.
3) Is Ushijima salty because Oikawa didnât choose him? Oh god, he is isnât he.
4) Akaashiâs go to emotion isnât emotion.
5) Shits about to go down, Bokuto is gonna flip eventually, if Ushi threatens anyoneâitâd probably be Oikawa or Akaashi seeing as theyâre omegaâsâI can see Bokuto and Iwaizumi just flipping their shit.
God Iâm way to invested. Why did I read this
USHIJIMA IS A COWARDLY LITTLE BITCH IN THIS FIC, STAB HIM HINATA
D O I T
Awww Kageyama cares, Tsukki cares
OH MY GOD TENDOU!
More people came surrounding them. "What the hell," Akaashi recognized Iwazumi's voice.
Iwaizumiâs reaction is the only respectable reaction.
Wait this has major character death in the tags
Fuck
Everyone has decided that Oikawa and Akaashi must be defended but just once I want them to flip their shit and kill someone. Just once.
Bokuto, Lev and Iwaizumi all want to protect Oikawa but Iwaizumi doesnât even fucking trust em.
Why does everyone act like Nishinoya not wanting to move on so quickly is a bad thing? Itâs perfectly reasonable and I hate how everyone is like âWhatâs wrong with you, do you not like us?â And getting super standoffish or snappish simply because Nishinoya loves Asahi so much and doesnât want to feel like they didnât need him.
I really donât like how Nishinoya/Tanaka/Ennoshita became a thing in this fic. It would be cute if it didnât just happen because Nishinoya was desperate and if he wasnât he wouldnât have fucked Tanaka.
Oh dear god I donât want Kenma to die.
Oh thank god itâs okay.
Fuck I forgot they had boobs
Did Bokuto almost name the Kuroken baby Oya but changed last minute?
BO ISNâT COMING BACK IS HE?????????
Iâm feelin a little sniffly. I might fucking cry over an Omegaverse fic. Oh how the mighty have fallen
Oh my god the stars. I donât think Bo is coming back yâall. Iâm so nervous
The fuckin royals arenât getting Keiji. No. Nuh-uh FUCK THAT SHIT
THATâS BOKUTOâS MATE STAY AWAY FROM HIM
-cue mac worrying about oikawa because seijou is allied with fukurodani and an easy way to tear seijou away from the alliance is to kidnap oikawa and iwaizumi might split to keep him safe and ushi fucking knows this and possibly tendou also oiks is pretty as fuck-
BOKUTO IS OKAY!
Iwaizumi making Bokuto promise to save Oikawa if things went to shit makes me so worried but the same time his lil speech made my IwaOi heart so happy.
Suga bby...
BOKUTO JUST KILLED A FUCKING CHILD
Tendou, Ushijima I never thought Iâd say this but I fucking hate them right now. They better not hurt the other best Boiâs.
Ushijima is salty as fuck confirmed.
"You truly are a piece of art," Ushijima said gently ...."But not as beautiful as him," the alpha muttered as he threw the omega to the floor.
So, this little snippet sent disgusting shivers down my spine for two reasons.
1) Ushijima just yeeted Akaashi, my son and
2) Any reader knows who the âheâ Ushi is talking about is, the only person in this book who is said to be as beautiful as Akaashi. You guessed it, the boi who rejected Ushi-fucking-jima, Jewel of Seijou himself Oikawa Tooru.
The thing that grosses me out the most about this paragraph just on its own is that Ushijima is either guessing about what Oikawa looks like, or he actually knows which overall just gives me the heebie jeebies because Oikawa definitely didnât want that. What makes my skin crawl in this little snippet is what Ushijima would do when if he got his angry little hands on Oikawaâor Iwaizumi, but Iwa would probably be killed or used as a bargaining chip.
Hmmmmm, Iâm pretty sure Ushi is in love with Tendou but the beauty statement still stands possibly???? Unless specified otherwise, because Akaashi and Oikawa are canonically considered the most beautiful people in the fic.
Also this entire chapter just makes me feel so gross, fuck Ushijima man. Fuck him.
My Ushijima loving heart hurts reading this fic.
I just want Akaashi and Oikawa to straight up kill someone. Please, anyone who I donât care about
I FUCKING SEE THE MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH WARNING AND I DONâT LIKE IT
FUCK
FUCK
FUCK
NOT BOKUTO
WAIT IS HE ALIVE
I WANNA SEE MY LITTLE BOY
HERE HE COMES
I WANT TO SEE MY LITTLE BOY
"I came right on time," Bokuto forced out his voice cracking with emotion. "Now I can engulf you in my arms and brighten your days despite the absence of the sun. You will no longer have to endure the cold winters alone. I'll be with you, I be there for you and our child," The alpha vowed his hands itching in need.
"Are you going to leave us again?" Akaashi needed to know. The omega already knew that he wouldn't be able to survive being apart from the alpha. He knew that he wouldn't win the battle with the overwhelming loneliness.
"The seas could dry up, the mountains could turn to pebbles, the trees could die and the whole world could be on fire and I still won't leave your side."
That was all Akashi needed to hear as he leaped into his alphas arm and let go of all the pain he has held in
Iâm not crying I swear
They walked together side by side and Akaashi finally faced them. They were both beaten, bloody, and torn butinstead of feeling satisfaction he felt remorse. They both looked at him with soft, wide eyes, and he realized that this was the moment they were waiting for. They wanted to see the child that they both desperately wanted and Akaashi decided to give them a parting gift.
Akaashi had won, he had won from the very beginning and he held his trophy who was a small babe with golden orbs, with mutant white and black hair. He hadn't lied to Tendou when he had said that the baby looked exactly like his father.
OH MY FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOD IâM SOBBING DONâT TOUCH ME
Meta and Review
So I just read A/B/O for the first time and I knew absolutely nothing about the entire trope that Mpreg existed and to stay the hell away from it. Please remember this in the meta and tell me if there way of dividing characters is ever specified or if itâs just decided by top-bottom dynamics.
Wow.
The story was pretty good outside of what Iâm about to talk about. I liked the ships and most of the buildup, the worldbuilding seems solid, the war and UshiTens situation was really interesting to me and it made Ushi and Tendou a bit morally gray and couldâve talked about how people could do bad things for what they thought were the right reason and everything was clean cut.
Overall? Eh. Couldâve been done better
Not onto the rest
This doesnât seem as toxic or inherently bad as most fics Iâve seen, I didnât really like how Omegaâs are always inherently feminineâthe dresses, jewels, how theyâre seen as inherently weaker and sometimes helpless, how theyâre always referred to as âmy ladyââand arenât really given another choice because they might have the ability to reproduce in A/B/O but they arenât women. Itâs okay if a man is really feminine but for all of them to be? It rubbed my the wrong way.
I wish that the power structure was handled different in A/B/O in general. Omegaâs seem to be treated like theyâre helpless and I just...donât like it? Omegaâs might be submissive but that doesnât make them physically weaker and if it did, I wouldâve thought they would have picked up some other useful skills like diplomacy or strategy.
As usually, my example of how a character couldâve been handled better is Oikawa.
Heâs my favorite character and I adored him but he just didnât really deliver. It felt like he was being treated like a kid throughout this entire fic, it didnât seem like he was doing anything during the war. Even if Omegaâs donât have a lot of physically prowess and abilities, what happened to Oikawaâs strategic and analytical nature? Why was it never mentioned in any of Bokutoâs POV sections because out all the leaders of the Allied Kingdoms, Oikawa is the best strategistâKuroo is the exception, not the rule and I thought they shouldâve been working together because smort boysâbut he was simply hidden away.
Now I have no problems with all the protective IwaOi scenes when theyâre in immediate dangerâit makes perfect sense if Omegaâs are physically weaker but have other usable talents that are taken seriouslyâand Oikawa simply canât talk his way out of said problem.
I do however, have a problem with cowering Oikawa. That feels so OOC at the beginning of the first scene I cited, where is all of the quick wit and worthless pride from the show? Now, it makes sense for Oikawa to start getting scared and simply slip behind Iwaizumi once Ushijima tries to dominate everyone and all the Alphas start freaking out if Oikawa is at an actual, physical disadvantageâI feel like the alphaâs their have similar frames, or at least most of them do. Bokuto, Ushijima, Kuroo and Iwaizumi are jacked and beefy, everyone but Iwa is relatively tall too. Now, Oikawaâs tall too but heâs much thinner and leaner. Iâd be scared too if everyone could break me like a twig if it came down to itâbut no ??? Apparently at the first sign of any conflict he just gets scared??? He doesnât know whatâs going on in his own fucking kingdom ???
This is not Oikawa.
I didnât like how they treated most of the Omegaâs actually, it felt like they were just reverted to helpless damsels in distress. What happened to Kenmaâs observation skills? Nishinoyaâs everything?
More importantly, what decides Alphaâs and Omegaâs? Is it up in the air like gender is? What are Betaâs then? It canât just be whoâs top and whoâs bottom, that would mean the alpha-beta-omega- status wouldnât be decided until you had a mate
From what Iâve seen in the fic, it goes by ship dynamics but what if the characters who had more strategic, cunning, observant traits and werenât as buff and muscly would be Omegaâs and had the brain power while characters who relied more on physical prowess would be Alphaâs and dominant in a purely physical way sometimes while characters who were an odd combination of the two would be Betaâs.
Going by my logic, instead of the top being the alpha and the bottom just being an omega without any personality it would be...
Bokuto- Alpha, like he was in the story. Heâs definitely more physically inclined then Akaashi.
Akaashi: Omega, same as in the fic. Not to say he isnât athletic but he relies more on his mind.
Iwaizumi- Alpha, like in the fic but from a purely physical standpoint and because he can rein Oikawa in when his friend starts going nuts.
Oikawa - Beta, heâs quite powerful but heâs also manipulative, strategic and his mind is scary as fuck.
Kuroo- Beta, he relies on his physical prowess and dorkily perfect brain a lot so heâs also a mixture of both.
Kenma- Omega, physically heâs a twig but his mind is what makes him the brain of Nekoma
Hinata- Alpha, he doesnât use his brain a lot and has a lot of physical power
Kageyama - Beta, heâs pretty smart when it comes to volleyball and heâs also physically strong
Suga - Omega, heâs quite clever and his brain power out ways his physical prowess by a landslide
Daichi- Beta, he firms strategies and relies on his brain, plus his killer thighs
Tsukishima - Beta, he has his hue fur and athleticism but his brain power is also strong as fuck
Yamaguchi - Beta, he seems to be really people smart and eventually his serves are pretty good.
Can Betas get into a relationship with other Betas? I donât know or care, we stan Alpha-Alpha, Beta-Beta and Omega-Omega ships here
I DONâT KNOW IF THIS IS HOW IT WORKS THO
do I have to read more

10 Reasons Why I'm Excited For WoW Classic
Could see myself giving this a shot or two đ¤Ş
Published on Nov 30, 2018
Ever since the WoW Classic demo I haven't been able to stop thinking about the Vanilla WoW experience and why a 14 year old version of the game seems so much more interesting to me than the recent expansion for current WoW, Battle For Azeroth especially due to the fact I never played Vanilla when it was current so it's certainly not a case of nostalgia, I decided to make this video to try and make sense of what exactly I'm excited for with WoW Classic and try to show that there's many things Vanilla WoW actually does better than current mostly from an RPG and Immersion perspective. For what reasons are you excited for Classic WoW and do you think there are genuinely some things Vanilla was better at than Battle For Azeroth? let me know in the comments below! ____________________________________________ ---Links--- Join My Discord: https://discord.gg/4aNxXHm Twitch TV: http://www.twitch.tv/the_lazy_peon Twitter is the best place to keep updated and contact me, I post often and reply to a lot of people - Twitter: https://twitter.com/The_Lazy_Peon ____________________________________________ ---World Of Warcraft Vanilla/Classic Description--- World Of Warcraft Classic is a 2019 legacy server for the Vanilla experience of WoW, In this version of the game the level cap is 60, there's 8 playable races, forsaken, orc, tauren and troll for horde, and dwarf, gnome, human and night elf for the alliance. WoW classic is a much slower and more punishing experience than current world of warcraft with many conveniences players are used to today not being in the game, you need to read quests, you'll need to group with players more often, you don't get access to your first mount until level 40, making gold is much harder and your character is generally a lot weaker when fighting mobs than current wow with mana being a big problem for most caster classes. The reason a lot of players are looking forward to Vanilla WoW is that it felt a lot more like an RPG, and with progression being much harder it made your accomplishments feel more impactful, It may be slower and have less detailed graphics but the overall pace and game design makes Vanilla WoW feel like a more immersive experience for many players. ---Text Spoilers--- 1: Larger part of the world fells relevent 2: More RPG like questing 3: Needing to actually group up and socialize 4: Back to being a humble adventurer 5: No flying mounts and better World PVP 6: Having long term goals 7: Upgrades feeling more rewarding and epics being epic 8: Class flavor + class quests 9: Professions being important 10: It will be my first time playing vanilla properly ---Tags--- World Of Warcraft, Classic, 10 Reasons, Vanilla, WoW, MMORPG, MMO, Open World, Legacy, Old School, Remake, Horde, Alliance, Crafting, Professions, Questing, Dungeons, Raiding, World PVP, Battlegrounds, Progression, Punishing, Gear, Grind, Attunements, Class questlines, humble adventurer, RPG, grouping up, epic loot, long term goals, class flavor If you'd like to suggest a topic for a future discussion, top 10, let's play or first impressions then please comment or tweet me via the links above. ____________________________________________ ---Legal footnotes--- This video is Fair Use under U.S. copyright law because it is transformative in nature, uses no more of the original than necessary and have no negative effect on the market of the original work. ____________________________________ 10 Reasons Why I'm Excited For WoW Classic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxMVL...
