It's horribly angsty for sentinal! Reader's friends too.

This is Reader. Not a clone that replaced them like what's happened with other members. It's Reader, who cried and laughed and comforted and worked with them. They are family.

But now they're shutting down. The kid is made of at least half or more of the enemy, but that doesn't mean they are! But Reader is too busy having an extensial crisis on top of everything to comforted.

So how do they put their sweet little robot back together?

They have a few options to put their sweet kid or friend back together... A few may be more... complicated... but it's nothing they can't handle! Anything, anything for Reader to come back and be themself, and not disappear or fade away...

They can always rebuild Reader. Simply replace old parts with new ones. Take away the damaged bits, fix what they can, ads in updated and safer materials, and add their mind back in. It might be the simplest one, but it still means if someone got their hands on Reader, they could destroy them, or even worse, destroy their mind or soul, the one piece they can't replace...

There's always cloning or growing a body from freely-given DNA. They'd take a donor, or their original creator's, and grow them a body in a hidden, sterilized lab. They can even age it to a certain point, so Reader is still their designated age. If they want a preferred look, they can try that too, they suppose. It would be a bit... harder, granted, but... it also means Reader wouldn't be confined to a metal, moldable body, and that they're a bit safer from others by being human/mutant...

Or... there's simply keeping them in-between. A cyborg of some type, who has human parts, such as skin and perhaps a stomach and perhaps eyes or hair or senses and a nervous system. Some robotic parts might need to keep their human parts alive and stable, such as something to help their heart or replace it, metal frame or bones, perhaps a tracking device or two... Simply add enough human parts to let Reader have senses and a pulse, and enough metal and robotic pieces to keep their body stable and alive. A bit more complicated, but it is an option nonetheless...

(What do you think, @sugar-soda and Cube Anon?) (I keep imagining Hank amd Charles and Erik bonking heads together over this, doing their best to figure out the best option and having entire folders and blueprints for each option and the follow-through plans for them, as well as designing each part needed to help Reader function, and so many notes on what parts should be worked on first, which parts last, how many bumps to expect in the road to Reader's recovery... Those three have everything planned out)

Not to be that person, but I took a class on modern American literature, and Malevolent hits a ton of the major themes despite not being modern (though taking place during the modern era). Themes of atheism and extensialism? Of monstrosity vs. humanity, and where does one draw the line? Of morality?

Oh that reminds me

Hermann turning 40:

Newt: Haha you're 40 now

Hermann: You'll be 40 in half a year

Newt immediately sitting down and having an existential crisis because he's going to be *40*:

The teens keep him young but also cause him to have a regular crisis about his age and getting older

Dramatic motherfucker realizing he’s coming to middle age, he would have an extensial crisis, thankfully he wouldn’t go through a midlife crisis bc hermann would shut that down immediately

Newt: hermann you don’t understand I don’t know what the fuck rizz is

Hello pretty ppl out there , I think it's time I tell yall the history of my oc so that yall would know more about her ,

NIGHTMARE.

Nightmare was one of my very first ocs I drew when I was little , but as time progressed and I improved on my drawing skills , Nightmare was the one I'd usually draw due to the fact I didn't know what else to draw .

Her backstory was always changing and eventually I had to put her down because I couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted her to be ,until my brother helped me out with a story to stick her on ,

My brother made an oc named* Acreon * ( which I will tell you about him another time ) and what he thought was that nightmare was the creation of Acreon many ,many ,many ,many ,MANY ,years ago

And what was born was the story of nightmare an oc of any story in any multiverse!

Nightmare's backstory

It all started in the 1400's A.D ( to my understanding ,I could be wrong,it's dated in the medieval times with princesses and ,royalty and stuff ,) were there once lived a king . A cruel ,evil ,wicked king , no one new the name of this king ,the only name this king went by was * THE TYRANT* and the Tyrant would go across the kingdom and to every village and reign terror and destruction to the people of the kingdom, and no matter how many times the people would send letters to other kingdoms in the world asking for help, the other kingdoms were just to afraid to do anything , because the Tyrant was to powerful to defeat so in the kingdom ,as scary and wicked the rules were ,and how much they lost ,it became normal and everytime the Tyrant decided to have a tantrum ,and reign more terror and destruction on his kingdom they would always rebuild , this went on for years and years until one day an Extensial thought came across the Tyrant's mind, he realized that he would die one day, and it could be anytime ,and all the fun he had with his destruction would soon come to an end , and we was afraid of that

SO!. He called up the kingdoms Scientist .( which I believed back then was called an Alchemist., idk🤷‍♀️) and through his word he spoke To the alchemists said " I will soon die. I want you to make me a body that will last forever.." That made the alchemist fear the tyrant even more. But because the tyrant was king. He must obey .

So the alchemist asked for the help of the witch of the kingdom and they got to work on making the tyrant a new form, a form that would last for eternity, It took around another ten years before the form could be complete but in the midst of those years the tyrant grew impatient as he grew older and his fear of dying and No longer having the fun of destruction , Grew larger , The Form was nearly done, but it was missing One single piece for it to be complete body of the tyrant. But the alchemist knew in his heart that it would be wrong and that the Kingdom was waiting so long For the tyrants, reign of terror to soon come to an end. So the alchemist now being sly as a fox betrayed the Tyrant without him knowing he hid the incomplete creature and. Took it home making the Tyrant think that he was still working on it

and the witch went along with it , So the alchemist took the form ,the living shadowy creature home with him to his family to teach it and raise it,To do good for others. for he knew that it would never die but it was still incomplete. It still did not look Human. It's still needed a body. When the alchemist took it home his daughter emily came down" Father what have you brought home for today?" Emily said with cheerfulness in her voice.Happy to see her father home. The alchemist warned her to stay Back for he didn't know what the creature he created would do, but Emily, being a little rebellious went a little closer to the creature and look in its eyes. It's black eyes and the shadowy. Dark Grey mist like form and the creature locked eyes with Emily. That was the completion, it took form And it made itself look like Emily with hair long And wavy with eyes, human eyes and a human nose , Human lips , And everything That would make the creature look like Emily ,a human But there was still a problem.For the creature, looks like Emily looks like a human on the outside.But on the inside it was still incomplete.It needed human flesh to be complease, but the father being quick minded.Took as a form away from the Tyrant Not giving it a chance To be the tyrant's new body So the creature had a life with the father and daughter being Emliys new sister , Emliy always wanted a gwin and thats what she she got a new sister the creature had eberything of a female body on the outside but on The inside it was an empty shell , the alchemist had the creature for three years within the three years not only the creature grew in knowledge she Developed.a mind of her own , and the alchemist and his daughter emliy both grew attached to the creature ,but never gave her a name they would usually call her * Gemina * ( which Is Roman for the female twin) Because she took the form of the alchemist's daughter, Jimini had a good life, was raised. Good was polite, but still never understood. What a human was and why people always feared her where she went into the store into the town with her father and sister, they would look at her with absolute fear in their eyes. Jimmie looked exactly like Emily, but then again not. Emily's hair was blonde and she had blue eyes and white skin but Gamina She had white hair Black eyes with white irises and grayscale.She looks human but not her colors,. And everywhere to gamina Went the townsfolk would fear her children would pick on her And grown adults which throw Rocks were large stones at her.Hoping to kill her jamina never understood These actions are how these people felt.She never understood , but she was always polite and tried to show Kindness to them tried to show them that she's nice But they wouldn't

Ever understand They are Living in the tyrants kingdom for they never trusted anything new for they thought that it was the tyrants new way of destruction and just the thought ifni brought more fear and horror to the townsfolk people.

Years.

When by And not only emily grew But so did jamina?Emily grew to be a beautiful young woman and gemina the same Emliy was now 16 years old so that would mean the same for gamina ( if gamina aged ) and When a young girl reached the age of 16 they must be married ( I think lol ) and just to let yall know Emliy was the most beautiful girl in the town , she caught the eyes of every boy and man ,and eventually the Tyrant , when the Tyrant found the girl ( he was way older than her ) he Immediately.asked for the girls hand in marriage, Emliy refused the Tyrant ( which of course angered him ) and walked away ( I mean can Ya blame her I mean he was like in his 70's and she's 16 !Huuuuuge age diffence there!) The tyrant didn't let this go for not only was he agreed about the rejection of the most beautiful girl in his kingdom but he still awaits for the new body he was promised by the alchemist. His Patience finally rea he'd an end and one night in the town he set another reign of terror in The town and in this particular night he murdered the daughter of the alchemist right in front of him The Tyrant said the the alchemist " My patience has run out .I'm tired of your excuses.Where's the new body you promised me" he said point a blade at the neck of the alchemist on his knees holding his only biological daughter , he hid gamina in a closet but she saw everything The alchemist full of Destrot, grief and pain Gave up pointed at the closet and gave away Gamina . When the tyrant saw jamina, he was confusedrink.Jamina looked like a normal girl.Then again, didn't the Tyrant looked back at the alchemist and said"What game are you playing? for this is just a girl ." The alchemist.

Looked up and exclaimed, "that's the body.You're forever body.I tricked you for over 10 years.Thinking that I was still making your body when in fact I took the creature and raised her to be my own child So that you can never have The body you want."

The tyrant looked back at the girl.

Then back at the alchemist. The alchemist continued" It is too late for You to have the body the creature has already chosen its form, you lose." The tyrant with rage and fury in his eyes immediately slayed the alchemist, killing him right in front of jamina.Then he looks back at the girl.

Lifted his Blade and swung at Gemina , the blade went through the girl but it did nothing , he swung again but it Phased through , the girllooked up at the Tyrant and Immediately her Irises in her black eyes also turned black , Then a shot of fear with down the tyrant's spine.As he was no longer looking at the girl he tried to Kill there his eyes.It looks like he was staring in the eyes of a nightmare. Then everything went dark.

When the girl came to and opened her eyes , she was in the middle of the town . And all around her were the bodys of every . Single . Person that ever lived in that town the girl look down at her hands Crimson covered them But that wasn't it she was also holding the head the the Tyrant Immediately she dropped it and ran So confused, So lost. For the first time she felt fear all she could think of was that in her mind she kept telling her self that it was just a dream , this is not real. It's only a Nightmare.

To be continued.....

Hope yall like her backstory . I will tell yall about the rest of her story is and her purpose Buuuuuut that will he another time but for now I'm more than happy to answer any question you have for me and so on and so fourth lol 😁😊

(Omega!Roy / Alpha!Jamie anon)

You absolute legend, you've done it again. It's like you have an access point to my brain and can literally transcribe my thoughts!!! EVERY. LAST. TAKE. IS ABSOLUTE PERFECTION‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯

My brain is going a hundred miles a minute so buckle up, because this is possibly gonna be the longest ask you'll ever receive:

YES to youth sports culture being WEIRD AF for having an incredibly invasive control over kids' bodily autonomies, ESPECIALLY within an ABO second gender essentialism type way!!

And OOOOHHH Omega Grandpa is absolutely PERFECT!!!! It would set up such a jarring culture shift for Roy when he arrives at Sunderland, to go from a home lead by an Omega patriarch, only to come to a place where Alpha dominance is treated not just as a logical course of action, but as a biological TRUTH.

In my mind, Roy's parents are both emotionally distant but ultimately well meaning betas. Roy's family was implied to be quite poor, so in my mind they both worked, leaving Roy's Grandpa to do the emotional labour of raising Roy, even if Roy's parents were ultimately working to provide for him too. They probably saw Sunderland as Roy's best opportunity: housing, three square meals, access to training that could lead him to an extremely profitable career that they wouldn't be able to provide for him otherwise? It was probably the most practical decision for Roy's future interests, even if it had huge emotional consequences.

This would make it even sadder when Roys grandpa dies, because since both his parents are betas, he had no one to turn to that could understand what he was going through after he presented or show him another path other than the one Sunderland forced him on. And how could he be so ungrateful and go whine to his parents about Sunderland, anyway, when all either of them have ever done is work tirelessly to provide for him and his baby sister?? Thus begins Roy's emotional repression.

I ADORE your take on Roy's time in Sunderland, and I think his presentation would have been even more distressing because every one just ASSUMED that Roy would be an Alpha - since he's such an indisputable prodigy - and when he presented omega, it completely blindsided everyone, a total 'inconvenience', because they had to supply Roy with expensive meds, sort out the even more expensive legal work so the 'big secret' didn't get out, etc. This obviously sets up Roy's internalised idea that his omega needs are a chore and an inconvenience that needs to be catered for.

I also LOVEEEEED your takes on Roy's adult personality, ESPECIALLY about him being touch-starved. SOOO TRUEEEE, that man hasn't had a heat partner in his ENTIRE LIFE!!!! Go through the humiliation of having to rely on someone else??? Roy would literally rather die.

On that note, I think Roy would be both resentful of his own presentation, seeing it as his 'one weakness', but also kind of,,, ashamed? That he so clearly does not fit the typical omega archetype, making him both sneeringly judgemental of 'softer', more stereotypical male omegas and almost,,, jealous of them, of their obvious ease with their instincts and their bodies that Roy has spent an entire LIFETIME battling against.

I think this resentment towards other omegas would, as you say, make him not initially be an advocate for omegas in sports, which is why it'll be SO impactful for Roy personally when he DOES actually step out of the closet and advocate for Omega rights, because it'll be the most obvious sign of how far he's come!!

I also think Phoebe would play a big role in Roy unlearning his instinctive resistance towards his 'omega instincts', because how could loving and caring for and wanting to protect Phoebe ever be a BAD thing, how could it ever make Roy WEAK?

And OMGGGGGG are you a psychic?????? Because Jamie's backstory is absolutely PERFECT!!!! NO NOTES!!!!!! GEORGIES ROLE AND JAMES' INFLUENCE, ITS SO SO BRILLIANTLY EXPLAINED!!!!! 💓💓💓

And speaking of Jamie, an extension of Roy's omegaphobia has TOTALLY gotta be Roy struggling with his attraction to Jamie, at least in the physical sense. And this underlying attraction for one another is DEFINITELY driving up the tension in the hormone addled locker room as you said, lol, and will allllll come to a head when Roy accidentally goes into heat. (The idea of it being kick-started because of all the different medications Roy is on is absolutely BRILLIANT!!)

And OMGGG i didnt even THINK about subliminally bonded RoyJamie!!! That could also be why Roy would latch onto Jamie as a heat partner!!!! YOUR MIIIIINDDD!!!💖💖💖

I also fricking LOVE how this au so perfectly sets up Roy and Jamie as mirrors of each other!!! Because while Jamie struggles with feeling shame over his gentler/softer/more attentive side that is seen as 'not Alpha-like:, ROY struggles with the inverse problem, that his personality is too bossy/dominant/cold to be 'Omega-like'. And OMGGGG could you IMAGINE how cathartic it would be for both of them to realise that they complement each other's internalised issues soo well?? Roy needing a gentler, more submissive Alpha to feel in control and safe, and Jamie needing a more demanding, controlling Omega whose instructions he can follow to feed his attentive instincts and feel like he's providing for them.

Further ABO background: Roy's suppressant heats are short, a day at most, and on a regulated schedule, but they are EXCRUCIATING, cramps and fever and exhaustion and chills and delirium. Basically all the worst parts of a heat with none of the good. So can you IMAGINE how life altering a natural heat with Jamie would be?? Jamie, who would be soo attentive to Roy's pleasure, literally single-mindedly focused on making the experience as good as physically possible for Roy. It would literally blow Roy's MIND, and would most likely be extremely emotional. The idea that his heats can be purely about his PLEASURE? HIS wants, HIS needs? How could he NOT grow attached to Jamie after that???

I think this fic would be fast-burn in terms of Royjamies physical intimacy (because of Roy's heat), but the slow burn comes in with the EMOTIONAL intimacy. Sloooowly coming to terms with the fact that: no, I don't feel this pull towards this person because of simple base instincts like physical desire, it's because I actually LIKE them for who they are as a person, for how they make me laugh, for how they take care of me, for how they understand me more than i ever thought anyone ever could and uh oh im in love.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU for sharing your brilliant thoughts on this au, the effort you put in to responding to all my rambling asks is SO greatly appreciated!! 💖💖💖💖💖✨✨✨✨

I saw your ask earlier and it made me so happy even during this long long crappy day at work!! 🥰🥰🥰 Sorry for only getting to it now, putting it below the cut for the sake of everyone' scrolling but I love long asks!! 💙💙💙

I love how you expanded on the omega grandad thing, like that alone with baby roy could be its own stand alone fic of a series. Like that part of roy being brought up by an omega and two betas is so perfect. I feel like his grandpa would also have been the kind that is clear on what is expected of an omega but also very informed on omega rights, progress and would stand his ground against omega mistreatments by alphas etc which is what makes his grandad driving him to Sunderland even worse!! But maybe they had some connection to there and he initially got placed with a nice older omega lady since he was just a 9 year old, much younger than the other kids and it was expected he be around someone that could "mummy" him.

Maybe there was a change in the club ownership/management in the few years after or maybe when he came back from home at christmas post-grandad's death he was very much acting up, they placed him somewhere else, maybe a host family with other kids? And he was kind of labelled as being angry and mean (he was just grieving the only person who ever cared about him!) and problematic and they constantly reminded him what opportunity they were giving him etc and kind of brainwashed him about how he should be grateful to them and the team, since no one would be taking care of him otherwise.

And it only gets worse once he presents as omega of course. I have many times thought of possible storylines for roy's past and Sunderland as a place that laters gets outed for abuse is definitely on that list (regardless of omega/alpha stuff).

I do like your idea of both beta "well meaning" parents - there's a hell of a lot of emotional neglect that can come from that.

And what you mentioned about him feeling like an inconvenience goes so well with it. Because he would have ended up being super-independant, learning to avoid relying on other people which then applies to Jamie too (but on a slightly different note.. the shame/embarrassment of not really knowing what to do? His grandad would have given him the talk when he presented but he passed too early!!)

He definitely would have very complex feelings around being an omega. For starters, he does not fit the omega beauty standards. He might be leaner than other footballers, but he's not "delicate" or "pretty" (lie!! he's so pretty!!) and his body has also gone through changes due to the medication, like being very hairy (jamie is so horny for it)! And god knows he has not learnt how to take care of himself as a omega either, because he was trying to distance himself to not be found out so he does not know how to make himself pretty for his alpha, dress nicely, etc

I feel like him coming out and advocating for omega rights could be linked to reconnecting to his grandad in some way. Think post-Amsterdam bike ride for example, but perhaps he finds his grandad diaries? or someone finds him while doing a research paper/book on his grandfather contribution to some important policy change 30+ years ago (I'm looking at you Trent Crimm!!)

Something that would bring it full circle, make him realise that his grandad did not really abandon him in some way as he had done anything to ensure better rights for him even when he didn't know he'd be an omega (but grandad knew, he always knew... something something noted in his journal about the way a very very young roy cared for all living creatures, especially the small ones that couldn't defend themselves) >>> present day roy advocating for omega rights in sports, but in particular for the treatment of kids in academies as they are the ones who can't defend themselves. And yes, totally linked to Phoebe too and feeling that need to protect her. Something around meeting Georgie in Manchester and seeing an omega mother be so fiercely protective of her alpha son, making that almost aggressive protection be something to be proud of, something that doesn't make him a bad omega for speaking up and being loud and 'aggressive' towards abusers.

(I won't expand on jamie & georgie simply because he's a mummy's boy in every version ever for me and she's a baddie!!)

"Because while Jamie struggles with feeling shame over his gentler/softer/more attentive side that is seen as 'not Alpha-like:, ROY struggles with the inverse problem, that his personality is too bossy/dominant/cold to be 'Omega-like'." >>> you described it so well!!

I do think Jamie wants to do a very good job for his omega, he wants to dote over him and ensure he has everything he needs and is fed and warm and loved (some stepfather Simon influence there too perhaps)

I love your added angst of roy's suppressant heats being extremely painful (we love giving roy chronic conditions over here so). I do wonder if maybe there's some of this first, before they end up together, that jamie does witness him being in so much pain (lord i love the angst of a character witnessing the other going through hell and unable to do much). Maybe jamie knew already what it was or maybe not, maybe it was before they got closer and roy comes across as very mean and angry when he's just in pain. Maybe the first time they are together roy is so worried because if he normally hurts this much = he thinks the pain he goes through is what a normal heat is meant to feel like, imagine how much worse it will be if he has to put that thing in him (lolz) or have an alpha touch him all over when his entire body hurts.

But I also like the idea of them jumping straight into it physically vs taking their time emotionally! Always love a good slow burn (and hey, that could be part three of the series eheh)

okay i got crazier while in the shower so another fascinating and frankly vile aspect of mallesil’s dynamic is that silver was made for malleus, but malleus was not made for him.

1. his magic was crafted in natural reaction to malleus’ (& in extensis the draconias’) antics.

2. lilia’s grooming (so what is mental, his resolve, his duty) prepared him to serve malleus.

what im getting at is malleus is great, old, and fey, his status may restrict him, but his power knows no bounds, and his magic wasn’t crafted in anticipation for a battle with silver… and, well, silver cant say the same. malleus was raised to lead a nation and perhaps conquer some more, effectively objectifying those beneath him, and replacing silver once he passes—silver, who lives for malleus… while malleus lives for something else.

it makes a potential romantic dynamic so heartbreakingly tragic. the devastation of loss aside, malleus will have to move on. he’ll marry, pass his crown on…

(obviously im delusional so in my hopeless romantic mind, malleus was, too, made for silver, but only because he loves him purely and innocently)

Nihilism In BSD

Nikolai and Dazai are nihilists but how they cope with this is in two different ways.

Why do I say this? It seems that Nihilism has two parts, the realization that life has no meaning and how you choose to cope and embrace that belief. Dazai is a nihilist but his way of coping is that if life has no meaning then what's the point of continuing to be alive? He wants to commit a psychological suicide because there is no purpose, no reason to continue living. You can also argue that Dazai may be an Existentialist, he still thinks there is a meaning to life but he must find or create that meaning himself. Dazai found his meaning but his meaning was taken away from him, he revolved his whole life around people he loved (Odasaku and Chuuya). He created his own definition of life to be about the people you hang around with, that's his meaning for living and Oda helped him realize this.

Nikolai has the belief that to be truly free he has to get rid of his individuality, that he mustn't stick to the chains of the government or religion. He thinks that morals are just another thing that keeps him away from freedom however it's so forced into people's minds that he can't help but feel guilty for all the wrongdoings that he does for him to truly be free he must be dead because he thinks there is nothing beyond death.

He thinks of Fyodor as an extension of himself so if he dies by Fyodor is alive he still won't be free because he has someone to worry about someone on Earth hence why he wants to kill Fyodor. It all gets him closer to true freedom.

Nikolai is a Political, Extensial and Ethical Nihilist, he thinks that life means nothing and the rules around him hold him done so he wants to break through and get rid of those rules. That's Nikolai Gogol.

You can say that Nikolai, while being a Nihilist is also an Absurdist. This serves as a coping mechanism to the belief that life has no meaning so the Absurdist gets so obsessed with the idea of freedom that they are willing to do whatever they can to be free and that just leads to the twisted psychological belief that Nikolai has that to be truly free is to die. Absurdist doesn't believe they should seek the meaning of life but more that they must rebel about this belief.

Nikolai and Dazai show two messed up ways of coping with the belief of Nihilism. The Existentialist and the Absurdist aren’t different from the Nihilist but they are more extensions of Nihilism, they are what the person does with the belief of nothing. Nikolai is the Absurdist of BSD, and Dazai is the Existentialist of BSD.

I don’t trust anyone who ships Kanao/Aoi or Zenitsu/Kaigaku.

“But there not really siblings!”

Shinobu and Kanae adopted Aoi too and Aoi even wanted Kanao to have her last name seeing her as a sister. And Jijoro extensially raised Zenitsu and Kaigaku together after finding them. Zenitsu also calls him ‘Aniki’ before killing him saying he saw him as family.

youtube defaults to AV1 encoding on my M1 Mac

the M1 doesn't have AV1 hardware decode so this takes—I'll have to do a more careful test, but it looks like a huge power draw/battery life difference vs the same video forced off of AV1 (i.e. to VP9)

Wat zijn domeinextensies en hun belang voor jouw website?

Als je op het punt staat een website te starten, dan is een van de eerste en belangrijkste beslissingen die je moet nemen de keuze van een domeinextensie.​ Domeinextensies, ook wel top-level domains (TLDs) genoemd, zijn de letters die direct volgen op de domeinnaam van een website.​ Denk hierbij aan de bekende .​com, .​org, .​net, maar ook land-specifieke extensies zoals .​nl of .​de en nieuwere opties zoals .​app, .​blog of .​shop.​

De domeinextensie die je kiest heeft invloed op de online identiteit van je website en kan bijdragen aan de perceptie en herkenbaarheid van je merk.​ Daarom is het essentieel om te begrijpen welke extensie het beste bij jouw doelstellingen past en hoe deze de vindbaarheid en de SEO van je website kan beïnvloeden.​

Populaire vs.​ niche domeinextensies

De meest populaire domeinextensie is zonder twijfel .​com.​ Dit is grotendeels te wijten aan de geschiedenis en de herkenbaarheid ervan.​ Veel gebruikers gaan automatisch uit van een .​com-extensie wanneer ze een webadres intypen.​ Dit kan voordelig zijn voor de vindbaarheid en het gemak voor gebruikers om je website te onthouden.​ Echter, vanwege de populariteit kan het moeilijk zijn om een korte en relevante .​com-domeinnaam te vinden die nog niet bezet is.​

Niche extensies zoals .​fotograaf, .​reizen of .​tech kunnen een alternatief bieden en bieden het voordeel dat ze direct meer over de inhoud van je website zeggen.​ Ze kunnen je helpen om je te onderscheiden binnen jouw specifieke markt of sector en kunnen bijdragen aan een sterkere merkidentiteit.​

Als je een lokale onderneming hebt en voornamelijk een publiek binnen een bepaald land of regio wilt aanspreken, kan een landcode top-level domain (ccTLD) zoals .​nl of .​eu een slimme keuze zijn.​ Deze extensies geven aan zoekmachines en bezoekers aan dat je content specifiek gericht is op die geografische locatie, wat kan helpen in je lokale SEO-strategie.​

Voor internationaal georiënteerde websites kan een generieke top-level domain (gTLD) zoals .​com of .​org geschikter zijn.​ Deze domeinextensies hebben geen geografische binding en kunnen je helpen een breder, internationaal publiek te bereiken.​

De impact van domeinextensies op SEO

Het is een veelvoorkomende mythe dat sommige domeinextensies beter scoren in SEO dan andere.​ Google heeft echter aangegeven dat de domeinextensie op zichzelf geen directe invloed heeft op je ranking.​ Wat wel telt is hoe je domeinnaam en extensie bijdragen aan de algehele gebruikerservaring op je website en hoe relevant ze zijn voor je content.​

Een relevante en gemakkelijk te onthouden domeinnaam kan bijdragen aan hogere click-through rates (CTR) vanuit de zoekresultaten en kan leiden tot meer organisch verkeer.​ Ook de betrouwbaarheid van je website kan toenemen als jouw domeinextensie logisch aansluit bij wat je aanbiedt.​

Veiligheid en betrouwbaarheid met de juiste domeinextensie

Sommige domeinextensies hebben een betere reputatie op het gebied van veiligheid en betrouwbaarheid.​ Domeinen zoals .​gov en .​edu zijn bijvoorbeeld strikt gereguleerd en alleen beschikbaar voor overheidsinstanties en educatieve instellingen.​ Als je een extensie kiest die bekend staat om zijn betrouwbaarheid, kan dit een positief effect hebben op hoe gebruikers je website zien en hoe ze met je merk omgaan.​

De rol van domeinextensies in merkidentiteit

Je domeinnaam en extensie kunnen een krachtig onderdeel zijn van je merkstrategie.​ Een creatieve en merkrelevante extensie kan je helpen om je merk te positioneren en te onderscheiden van je concurrenten.​ Neem bijvoorbeeld .​camera voor een fotografiewebsite of .​fitness voor een sportschool.​ Deze extensies kunnen direct communiceren wat bezoekers kunnen verwachten en dragen bij aan een sterke, herkenbare online aanwezigheid.​

Meest gestelde vragen

1.​ Wat zijn domeinextensies en waarom zijn ze belangrijk voor mijn website?

Domeinextensies, ook wel Top-Level Domains (TLD's) genoemd, zijn de laatste stukjes van een domeinnaam die volgen na de 'dot'.​ Voorbeelden zijn .​com, .​org en .​nl.​ Ze spelen een cruciale rol in hoe jouw website wordt waargenomen door bezoekers en zoekmachines.​ Een juiste extensie kan bijdragen aan een professionele uitstraling, merkherkenning en het vertrouwen van je gebruikers.​ Bovendien hebben sommige extensies een geografische of sector-specifieke connotatie die kan helpen bij SEO en het bereiken van de juiste doelgroep.​

2.​ Hoe kies ik de beste domeinextensie voor mijn onderneming of project?

Bij het kiezen van de beste domeinextensie, denk dan aan de aard van je onderneming of project.​ Ben je een internationale handelaar? Dan is .​com vaak de beste keuze.​ Focus je je op een Nederlandse markt? Overweeg dan een .​nl extensie.​ Ben je een organisatie? .​org kan dan geschikt zijn.​ En voor techneuten en startups kan .​io interessant zijn.​ Vraag jezelf af waar je doelgroep naar zoekt en wat vertrouwen uitstraalt in jouw branche.​ SEO-tip: zoekmachines waarderen relevantie, dus kies een extensie die aansluit bij de inhoud en het publiek van je website.​

3.​ Heeft de keuze van mijn domeinextensie invloed op mijn SEO?

Zeker weten! Zoekmachines zoals Google kijken naar domeinextensies om de relevantie en het doel van een website beter te begrijpen.​ Een lokale extensie zoals .​nl kan bijvoorbeeld helpen om hoger te ranken in Nederlandse zoekresultaten.​ Ook kunnen sommige niche-extensies, zoals .​photography of .​guru, context geven over de inhoud van je website.​ Maar onthoud dat inhoud koning is; een goede extensie versterkt je SEO, maar zonder sterke, relevante inhoud kom je er niet.​

4.​ Kan ik meerdere domeinextensies registreren voor mijn website?

Absoluut, en dat is vaak ook een slimme zet.​ Door verschillende domeinextensies te registreren die bij je merk passen, bescherm je je merknaam en voorkom je dat concurrenten vergelijkbare domeinen kapen.​ Bovendien kun je met meerdere extensies verschillende doelgroepen aantrekken of je marktbereik vergroten.​ Gebruik ze bijvoorbeeld voor marketingcampagnes, speciale landingspagina's of om direct verkeer naar verschillende delen van je website te leiden.​

5.​ Wat zijn de nieuwe gTLD's en moet ik die overwegen voor mijn website?

De nieuwe generieke Top-Level Domains (gTLD's) zoals .​app, .​blog, of .​shop zijn de nieuwkomers in de wereld van domeinextensies.​ Ze bieden meer specifieke en soms creatieve opties voor je domeinnaam.​ Als je bijvoorbeeld een blog hebt, kan .​blog je meteen herkenbaar maken.​ Deze nieuwe extensies kunnen je helpen op te vallen en direct te communiceren wat bezoekers van je website kunnen verwachten.​ Maar let op, niet alle gTLD's zijn even populair of vertrouwd bij het publiek, dus weeg de potentiële voordelen af tegen de herkenbaarheid van traditionelere extensies.​
