#gami verse

[omegapheromone]

I was thinking about this post and the ensuing conversation about retail and customer service workers. In the notes there is a lot of talk about the more scent-oriented stuff, but in this post, I wanna talk about something else that occurred to me.

Karens/Kevins in Omegaverse.

I should immediately state that I'm not from the US, so my personal experiences with Karens may differ somewhat, and my overall understanding of the "trope" or "personality type" is based on both my own non-US experiences and personal anecdotes and stories/footage/other posts I've encountered online. To me it seems Karens are quite universal and have very similar traits regardless of where in the world you are (entitlement, selfishness, bigoted opinions, thinking themselves better than others and just the sheer audacity), but I figured I should state I'm not personally familiar with the US Karen specifically, only through online accounts of encounters.

Anyhow! In the post I linked above I talked about the concept of "alpha males" and "incels" except translated into actual omegaverse- but I don't think I've ever seen anyone talk about what KARENS (or just, shitty not-alpha-male or incel/niceguy/nicegirl types) would be like in Omegaverse. Here are some things I personally feel like would be very common to Karens and Kevins, and the different kinds of them one might encounter.

Types Of Karens in Omegaverse/A/B/O/+

(Or in other words, a look at different types of shitty people in general, using the term Karen/Kevin rather generously.)

*note: while I'm classifying the different types of Karens into omega/beta/alpha, it doesn't mean that all Karens of said type MUST be of the dynamic mentioned- any dynamic or subdynamic can express the behaviors of a specific Karen-type, it's just more common for certain dynamics to embody a specific stereotypical karen-ness.

Omega (Ω) Karen, type: "Bitter"/"Bitter&Entitled"

Often, when speaking about "Karens", this is the type that comes into mind first. Karens of this type are the most likely to be similar to the perfect stereotype of a soccer mom parent, who believes they're entitled to anything and everything simply because they exist. They will not hesitate to use their kids/pups as an excuse to demand special treatment, and are exactly the type to berate a teacher for their own brat misbehaving in class, because "my McKaylwynn could NEVER, she's an ANGEL!". Almost always, they are trying very hard to live through their own kids, and often show favouritism towards any alpha children they may have. These are the type who will wonder why their kids move out at 18 and almost never talk to them. These Karens almost always stay in unhappy marriages at any cost, as they believe their alpha is what gives them their status and worth to a large extent, and often factors such as religious views on divorce being bad or a belief of bonding being "for life" is a part of this. They can, and in many cases DO cheat on their partners, however (and the partner likely does the same anyway). Military wives (the stereotypical kind) are a subtype of this Karen.

Usually, on the inside, these Karens are bitter omegas who grew up in conservative enviroments and internalized the idea that their purpose is to have kids. Now that they've had those kids, they feel entitled to special treatment, because they've supposedly been a "model omega" and believe that they deserve to be praised. These Karens are the type to ask other (often young) omega family members invasive questions during family gatherings, and tell them "they'll get it when they have pups of their own!". These Karens also cannot fathom the idea that an omega may choose to remain child-free, and does not approve of any same-dynamic relationships, especially omega/omega ones, as they believe it's "just a phase" and "they just need to meet the right Alpha to change their minds".

Deep down, as I mentioned, these Karens are likely just extremely bitter individuals, who have convinced themselves their lives are "good" and that they are "happy" because it follows the conservative ideal for an omega's role. Almost certainly, these Karens actually had dreams and ambitions of their own that were squashed by the enviroment they grew up and lived in, so now they are hellbent on taking out that bitterness on anyone who dares to step outside the mold for the "ideal omega", even more so if those individuals are clearly happy doing what THEY want. Usually, these Karens aren't aware of any of this however, so introspection and therapy are rarely going to help as their protective barrier of entitlement and self-impotance is simply too strong at this point.

Common phrases of the Bitter & Entitled Karen:

"I want to talk to your manager!"

"The HOA rules clearly state that..."

"Don't you KNOW who my husband is????"

"You'll get it when you have children of your own."

"Excuse me, don't you see that my child wants to play with your (valuable personal item, i.e. phone). Give it to them NOW! They're a CHILD! They deserve it MORE!"

"What do you mean you don't sell organic, dairy-free, gluten-free, gmo-free butter here? I want to speak to the owner of this place."

"Speak (language), this is (country), or go back to where you came from!!!"

"My husband knows the mayor. I will have you fired for talking like that to my precious child! They are NOT a bully, they would NEVER do something like that!!! Are you saying I raised MY CHILD badly? Do you even have kids of your OWN?"

"I shouldn't have to WAIT for service, don't you see I have KIDS?"

"Those two alphas shouldn't be holding hands in public, it'll confuse my child"

"My child started saying they're 'transdynamic' or something, I don't accept that kind of stuff in my house so I sent them to a camp to set them right. It was that or moving out at 15."

"No, my husband is never home, he's a BUSY man!"

"I wonder why my children don't talk to me"

Bonus: (Excessive use of a public f*cebook profile where they share increasingly personal details and very misinformed articles and talk about how it's the fault of 5G/gay people/vaccines/etc that their kids refuse to call them on mother's day)

☆

Omega (Ω) Karen, type: "self-centered" (outdated term: "Narcissistic")

This is another type of omega-dynamic Karen, however, this type is less focused on their offspring and the entitlement they feel over being a "good omega wife/partner/husband". They're also less of a traditional Karen in the sense that they'll rarely cause public disturbances that inconvenience others, but they definitely aren't incapable of doing that.

The "self-centered" type (Omega) Karens are usually the children of wealthy, or at least upper middle-class families, but this is not mandatory as they can be found in any and every "class" of society. It's mostly about how they were raised in said families, than the financial background: either very spoiled, or not really paid much attention to and given no rules as a kid. These Karens also tend to be women, though exceptions exist- this is mostly because they've grown up believing themselves to be superior to especially Beta, but also Alpha females. Male omegas of this subtype exist as well, however their sense of superiority often comes from a deep sense of insecurity, and they've adopted the self-centered personality as a defense mechanism against said insecurity.

These Karens are demanding, self-centered, and have a sense of superiority over everyone except maybe people in high positions in society. Almost certainly, they were a "mean girl" or bully at some point in their life, and you can often find these types of Omega Karens going into nursing, child-care, and other traditionally "omega" professions: not because they enjoy it, but rather, because they enjoy the power they have on the people under their care. This is the main difference between this type of Karen and the previous type; These ones tend to use their status as an omega to their advantage, rather than their children/husbands/role as a "model omega wife"/etc like the Bitter one might.

Unlike the more conservatively-minded "Bitter Karen", these "self-centered" Karens are not afraid of break-ups or divorce, and often actually use it as a threat to manipulate their partners. These Karens are less likely to use the "don't you KNOW who my husband is?!?!" Sentence, but will do so if they happen to be dating someone even moderately important (which could mean anything from "the general manager at the local grocery store" to "talked to the mayor's secretary once" to someone ACTUALLY important, such as a CEO or the mayor, etc.) Often, if these Karens end up having children, it's to try to baby trap someone, whether it works or not. They usually don't actually care about their kids at all, but WILL use them as ammo/shield for any criticism the same way a bitter Karen might. These Karens are also more likely to date Betas, unlike the previous type who often believes that an omega should only date an Alpha. The self-centered type Karen often is a more manipulative type, where they'll use others to get their way, while the bitter type tends to demand things more directly. Their goals also tend to be more about themselves than their status or kids, i.e. they may buy themselves luxury items while ignoring their own children's needs.

This Karen is somewhat less likely to fall for Antivaxx/Conspiracy theory stuff than the "bitter" type (however, not immune), but the ones that do usually end up being the especially dangerous "crystal mom" types. These Karens, unlike the Bitter type, still retain their own interests and hobbies, though these hobbies and interests almost always are centered around whatever will increase their status and make them seem more desirable and good. Their sense of "perfection" does not come from being the "perfect omega" as in mother and wife, but rather, being as desirable as possible, usually to alphas, but honestly, even a sufficiently well-off Beta will do. While many Karens of this type could be called gold-diggers who are attempting to climb the ranks of society, this isn't necessarily the case: rather, it's the APPEARANCE of being "better than", that drives them, in whichever social circle they happen to be in. This could mean becoming a recruiter for a MLM scheme, becoming the "leader" of their local crystal mom group on f*cebook that everyone looks up to for advice, posting to social media about going on (fake) luxury trips and about spending (nonexistent) money to induce envy in family members and so on. Basically, these Karens seek power and acceptance/admiration, or at least, the appearance of it- whether that is in the form of wealth, knowledge, or by being the head nurse at the local old folks home. They crave being envied and admired more than they crave actual status, hence why they're prone to exaggerating on social media. Often, this chronic desire for power is a result of growing up as an Omega and feeling powerless because of their status and enviroment- only to eventually realize they can actually use it to gain power. This type of Karen loves to use their scent/pheromones excessively to affect others around them, and doesn't like to be told to control their pheromones. They will claim a disease or state that their pheromones are just naturally strong and act like the victim, if told to reel it in for the sake of others.

**Various people may refer to this type of Karen as "Narcissistic" or "Narcissist", however, having NPD is not a requirement to behave this way, nor does having NPD automatically make anyone behave this way- it's considered offensive to Cluster B Personality Disorder sufferers to refer to these Karens this way, which is why "self-centered" is the appropriate term to use.

Common phrases of the Self-Centered Karen:

"Are you saying I'm a bad person? I did my best! It's not my fault you feel that way!"

"I'm going to break up with you if you don't ...."

"Heyyy girl!! Long time no chat bestie!!! So, I have this business proposal I was wanting to tell you about, ..."

"Umm, what do you mean I need to wear a scent blocker patch here, I'm allergic to the adhesive!!!"

"It can't hurt that much, shut up already. I already gave you paracetamol, just wait for the X-rays, will you? It's probably not even broken, jeez..."

"Umm what do you MEAN my coffee isn't ready, I'm gonna be late for work!!! I'll report you to the branch manager if you don't hurry up!"

(Posts a picture of a [possibly counterfeit] Louis Vuitton/etc expensive brand bag on instagram and facebook with a caption such as "love treating myself a little♡" or "a little gift from my darling😍", clearly trying to one-up someone or cause envy in gheir social circle)

"My pheromones are naturally really strong sorry :'( I caaaaan't do anything about it!"

"You don't know what it's like to raise three kids alone! I'm basically a super-mom! Just ask my kids!" (Forces the Kids to say their mom is their role model)

(Aggressively flirts with any alpha/beta in a nicely pressed suit in the hopes of luring in a lawyer/CEO/rich man)

"SHUT up Jessie, don't you see mommy/daddy's busy talking on the phone to someone? Go to your room already!"

"My Ex was so abusive" (the Ex was actually the victim)

☆

Beta (Β) Karen/Kevin, type: "hateful bigot"

This type of "Karen" is more likely to be of any gender, rather than usually being a woman, hence why Karen/Kevin in the title.

These Karens/Kevins are practically always Betas, however their gender (male/female/other) can be anything. The reason they're called the "Hateful" type is because this type embodies the "Beta that absolutely hates all alphas and omegas" stereotype seen in some works of fiction. Interestingly, this type can be divided further into two subgroups based on their political views- the conservative types have likely grown up in families that have instilled the belief that alphas and omegas are bad for generations, and their ideology tends to be more "alphas in power are always bad and entitled and are only there to make betas suffer and don't deserve their positions" and "omegas are disgusting sex creatures meant for making babies". Meanwhile, the more liberal type tends to mask their hatred of alphas and omegas under the guise of advocating for "equality", while in reality they still share a very similar view- that Alphas should be treated as "lesser than" because their positions of power seem "undeserved" and "gained through nepotism" (regardless of the actual circumstances. They simply believe that Alphas should NEVER be in power, no matter what) to these people. The more liberal subgroup often has less to say about omegas, given they're already often at a social disadvantage, but will occasionally pretend to campaign for "omega rights" as an attempt to have sex with omegas by appearing supportive. (A real-world equivalent would be men that pretend to support feminism in order to try to make themselves seem more progressive and thus desirable for women, even though deep down they don't actually care about feminism at all.)

This type of Karen/Kevin-ness usually forms from a deep-rooted sense of insecurity and inferiority, a belief that as a Beta, they're seen as secondary or unimportant (which, in modern society, is very rarely the actual case), and thus they find themselves hating all Alphas for the power they perceive Alphas to possess, and being disgusted by omegas because of the perceived lecherousness and sexualized idea of the omegas they have. It should be emphasized that this is all born from their personal perception of the world, either through their upbringing or negative personal encounters and/or some unadressed insecurities, and not the actual reality. This type of Kevin/Karen isn't actually all that common, but they do exist.

This type of Karen/Kevin is the type to scoff at or be rude towards workers of Alpha/Omega dynamics, no matter what their position is. An Alpha cashier might get a nasty look and be told they "probably didn't even apply for the job, just got accepted because they're an Alpha" and an Omega construction worker might get a nasty look because "what is that omega doing working a manual labor job, shouldn't they just be at home carrying pups for some shitty alpha, what if they go into heat in the job, also they're probably weaker than any Beta coworker anyway..." -the discrimination can come in any form, and occasionally, these Karens/Kevins can actually end up causing public disturbances just because they happened to have a bad day and took it out on the nearest alpha or omega just trying to do their job or mind their business.

Common Phrases of the Hateful Karen/Kevin:

"Aren't you ashamed? You stink of filthy omega/alpha pheromones, that's disgusting."

"I'll bet that Alpha CEO is a nepo baby who got her position because daddy was another rich Alpha as well"

"That omega celebrity is disgusting, who talks about slick and heats on national tv. They should lose their career."

"I bet you don't even know how to do your job, you just make others do it for you since you're an alpha."

"Why are omegas even allowed to be high school teachers, don't blame anyone but yourself if some young alpha goes into rut and takes it out on you. Your fault for being there as an omega. The alphas are just as bad. Why don't they just separate schools by dynamic, they used to do that back in my day..."

"Of course I support omega rights! It's so awful how much discrimination you guys face, honestly, it makes me feel so sad. Oh, by the way, I really like your scent, do you wanna hang out some time ;)?"

"Jeez, you work retail and can't even do your job right? I always knew Alphas were useless, and still get so much favouritism. I don't care if its your first day, you should know how to (do a difficult job task) already"

"Honestly I think we should just send all Alphas and Omegas to live on some isolated islands together. The society would be so much better with only Betas around."

Alpha (Α) Karen/Kevin, type: "superiority complex"

This (almost always Alpha) Karen/Kevin is, unfortunately, like fuel to the fire of the "hateful bigot" beta Karens/Kevins. They share some similarities to the "alpha alpha-males" mentioned in the post linked at the beginning of this one, however, they're not exactly the same.

These Karens/Kevins come in a variety of different flavours and convictions, in the sense that some of them are flat out alpha supremacists, while some of them simply have this internalized belief of superiority that they aren't necessarily aware of, resulting in micro-aggressions and shitty behavior, but not necessarily flat out discrimination towards the other dynamics. This type is common for some specific families, who have a belief that they should try to keep their "Alpha Blood" pure by only having children with other Alphas- in some cultures this is a remnant of historical social structures and often specifically something family elders believe in. In other cultures, it's more of an individual family belief, where at some point it has simply become a custom because Alpha children were seen as more desirable and valuable (be it for labour at farms, for more education possibilities, etc) and thus marriage between female and male alphas was the encouraged pairing. Any beta or omega offspring would often get treated unfairly in families like this, and often, especially the male alphas of the family, would almost always go into the same profession (for example, lawyer, law enforcement, doctor, business, etc).

On the more severe end of the superiority complex karen/kevin spectrum, there are Alphas who genuinely believe Omegas should not work at all and that Betas are below Alphas in terms of rank and thus should obey whatever the Alphas demand. On the less severe end of the same spectrum, there are Alphas who don't necessarily consciously discriminate, but will make insensitive jokes, behave inappropriately towards omegas in work enviroments believing that the Omegas must like it or expect it since they're working there, and not really understanding why anyone thinks its a problem if an Alpha CEO favours hiring alphas, especially their own family member alphas, as the higher-up staff.

While this type is rarely a public menace, they share some similarities with "alpha male" alphas in the sense that they may harass omegas in public, though they'll often be a bit less trashy than your standard "alpha male guy"- these karens/kevins aren't too likely to catcall or yell obscenities at omegas who refuse to pay attention. Rather, these Karens/Kevins might interpret a customer service smile from an omega barista at the coffee shop as an invitation to keep coming back and being uncomfortably flirty with that specific barista even after they have expressed that they're simply doing their job. They may also be the type to stand uncomfortably close to omega coworkers and make belittling comments, for example questioning an omega's ability to perform a task as well as a beta or alpha, or recommending only menial tasks far below their skill levels to omegas working with them.

This specific type is actually more often a Kevin than a Karen, however both exist in fairly equal numbers.

Common Phrases of the "Superiority Complex" Karen/Kevin:

"You sure you can handle that, cutie? Isn't that something better suited for a Beta or an Alpha?"

"You're really smart/strong/etc for an Omega"

"I don't know if we can hire you, you're at that age where you'll probably start having pups soon and you'd have to miss work a lot because of them... maybe you can apply for something part-time instead? Or maybe your partner can just take care of you, you focus on delivering those healthy pups and being a good parent!"

"Well aren't you a cute omega, working in customer service like that! The regulars here must be coming back just to see you! I see why they hired you, must be great for the business to have a cute face like yours here!"

"Honestly, I don't really get why omegas wanna work so bad. They'll just end up having pups and being stay-at-home-parents eventually anyway?"

"Sorry, we don't hire omegas for positions like these, they're too demanding"

"You know, I could consider giving you a raise, in exchange for something you could do for me... of course, no pressure, but do consider it"

Note: these are just the more dynamic-specific ones I headcanon to exist- there are WAY more different kinds of Karens and Kevins than just these, I just wanted to come up with a few examples of my own of types that could be more prevalent in specific dynamics. You can see a lot of traditional/real-world sexism reflected in these specific tropes since it's something Omegaverse can often explore in different interesting ways, and I didn't go into a lot of detail since the post is already long. Feel free to add your own karen/kevin type headcanons, commentary, or observations in the reblogs/replies!!

[proofwhisky]

regarding the post i made earlier; i was told that cillian murphy is a problematic face claim to use as he himself is a white man and not romani in any way, and i said i would be removing all content involving him from my page. this is an update on that. please read it so that you can make an informed decision about whether or not you continue to follow or interact with me.

i completely agree with the sentiment that tommy was miscast and agree with the fact that romani people are regularly pushed out of media spaces and misrepresented when they are included. i agree that peaky blinders is not at all an accurate source of roma culture or people and, in fact, i think the show is blatantly harmful in many aspects when it comes to romani representation. i agree that all representation is important and i agree that i, as someone writing a fake british man for free on the internet, do have some degree of responsibility when it comes to accurately portraying a roma character.

i have done, and will continue to do, as much research as possible when it comes to even the smallest details of tommy's roma heritage and culture. i have always, since the beginning of this blog, included the fact that tommy is roma and all that it entails in his own life as often as possible in every thread, headcanon and verse. i have never dismissed, denied or even downplayed his being romani. there has always been a section in my rules about roma culture and my portrayal of it, which i have recently updated to include my opinion of the way peaky blinders treats roma culture and people. i do not use slurs and only reference prejudice or racism as a necessary part of tommy's story, not as some arbitrary plot point or source of conflict.

that said: i will not be remaking my blog or discontinuing my use of cillian murphy as a face claim for thomas shelby.

i recognize that, when confronted with an opinion from a member of a culture about something in my portrayal that is wrong, it is my duty to fix it and continue on, not repeating the mistake. i have done this and will continue to do this. i also recognize that, due to the context and culture here on tumblr regarding things like callouts and cancellation, anything other than complete and utter obedience to any demand or accusation from a member of a marginalized group will be met with some kind of blowback. i recognize that many will assume that this is me desperately clinging to or defending a conventionally attractive white man even though this post is not about the face claim, it's about the culture that has even made this an issue in the first place. i also recognize that it will likely be considered as me dismissing or ignoring the voice of said marginalized group of people when i say, emphatically, that i have not made any sort of harmful mistake.

the person who approached me about this is roma and stated extremely valid facts about (and their issues with) media representation as a whole. i agree with their grievances about this whole heartedly. this person has also stated that they are an avid supporter of only necessary callout posts, not the airing of personal opinions. i hope that my response will not be considered fodder for any kind of callout.

i have been on tumblr under the same pseudonym, gami, for over 14 years, and have never once been involved, even passively, with any sort of drama or problematic behavior. unfortunately for all of us, i have as much a right to be here as anyone else. i will not hold it against you if you cut ties for your own health and safety in the event that a callout or some such involving me does happen, but i will not be going anywhere either way.

the single issue with which i was confronted lies with the fact that a white man was cast for a romani part. the fact that he was cast was and is wrong. i acknowledge and agree. the fact that his entire family was cast with white actors for romani people is wrong. i acknowledge and agree.

that does not change the fact that they were, unfortunately and wrongfully, cast. it also does not change the fact that i did not cast them. i did not produce or write peaky blinders. cillian murphy has never said anything harmful regarding romani culture or people. he is not profiting financially from this blog. i am also not profiting financially from this blog. i am not officially affiliated with peaky blinders in any way. i have always done, and will continue to do, my absolute best to respectfully portray tommy's race and culture and to do better than the source material did.

i do not personally believe that using the only content available to me, through no fault of my own, while frequently and vocally disagreeing with much of the source material's content here and on discord is wrong. i am not any kind of influencer, i have never claimed to be someone who is a source of romani culture, nor do i claim to be an authority on anything, including what is and is not problematic.

if my reaction or this post has made you feel as though you would rather not be seen interacting with me, i understand completely and i wish you the best. do whatever you need to do to keep yourself comfortable and safe. all i ask is that you block me on everything and do your best to tell people the truth about me if they ask.

happy holidays.

Okay so I figured out how Zaik and Max met.

Since Shell often goes to The Gami-Dimension, because his son is the Demi-God of that universe, I figured that maybe he brings Zaik with him every now and then to get Zaik out of the Mansion.

One day Zaik while exploring the forest he ran into a old abandoned house, outside of said house was Max.

Zaik and Max got to talking and quickly became friends.

When Max got kicked out of the place after the place was bought, Zaik obviously found out and basically begged Shell to let him stay with them. Shell, not being able to say 'no', allowed it, under the condition that Max must actively try to find a job.

"Happy birthday, baby."

JADE’S BIRTHDAY BASH!!

@methdrip

Her lips pull up into a smile that’s softer than silk, gazing over at Jesse who’s sticking multi-colored candles into a cake, ❝ Thanks. ❞

Jesse burrows a thirty-fourth candle into white vanilla frosting and funfetti flavored cake hidden beneath it, then resting his hands at either side of his self made confection. The two of them look down at it sitting on the counter, partially reflecting on another year of her life passing, and another one spent together in the brief silence that passes before she realizes something is missing.  When she notices it, Jade reaches over and grabs another yellow candle, gently driving it into the cake right next to the ‘A’ in ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY’.              ❝ You forgot, one more for good luck. ❞ Her words are spoken in a playful tone, the grin on her face not faltering for even a split second.

Year after year Jade’s had that same boxed cake, adorned with the same colorful candles, the same person sitting across from her and lighting them inside of the same Alaskan house. It hasn’t always been perfect, but as long as he’s there with her Jade wouldn’t  have it any other way. Together, they light each of the candles.

Jesse sings her a soft and low birthday song, then telling her to make a wish as the fire burning atop of the candles illuminates their faces in the low lit kitchen. She thinks for a second, but Jade already knows exactly what she’s going to wish for, it’s what she wishes for every year. Peace. For her, for Jesse,  even for her father and everyone who is still haunted by the ghost of Heisenberg like they are. Nowadays, she can’t think of much else to wish for. It’s the one thing left she wants and knows – or hopes is still somehow possible.

Jade blows out the candles and as the light that came from them is snuffed out she whispers an❝ I love you, ❞ so quiet she wasn’t completely sure if Jesse could have heard it.

𝐢𝐢𝐢. it’s that time of day when i scream about dinosaurs. like star wars, paleontology was a love i found when i was very, very small that i never grew out of. i have so many favorites, animals i just want to fawn over even though i will never get to look into their eyes. but out of the entirety of the fossil record, my heart belongs to the utahraptor. next would be muttaburrasaurus and parasaurolophus.

i started in 2003 on various forums and gaia online. it was a character i’ve always cherished, always “played as” whether it was with toys or just pretend play with friends. lo and behold, that character was boba fett. i discovered the rpc on tumblr in 2012 and made boba his first blog. i’ve been in various other fandoms since then. the most prominent ones were tolkien, disney / once upon a time, marvel, berserk, the 100, and overwatch. i’ve come back to star wars several times in between as a blog or via slews of verses.

antiheroes and antivillains. rebels with their own cause. always men. my multi is going to be my first time dabbling with ladies. i’m so afraid i can’t do them justice.

— 𝐒𝐔𝐁-𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐄𝐒

𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐅𝐅: fluff is a treat that i like to build towards. it’s not my focus and i barely write it even for my most dearest ships. i’m not adverse to it in any way, but fluff simply for the sake of it can feel so empty. i want to know the ins and outs of a relationship first. the interests shared, their inside jokes, their quarrels. because those are all little details that feed into what makes their sweeter interactions uniquely their own.

like, did x ever buy y a gift? what was it? where did they get it and give it? where is it now? i want to know things like that because whether i reference it in a thread or not, it’s in the history between them. it's tinder to the tender  — or the flame. 

𝐒𝐌𝐔𝐓: i have never rp’d smut before. not out of distaste or judgement, i’m just very protective of that element in a character’s story. a character’s approach to physicality is a product of their personality and history. so while i'm a sucker for romantic subplots threaded through greater schemes, it has to make sense to me. i can’t just write it for the sake of sex. i also want to make sure my partner and i are on the same page. i’m not interested in participating in something that would be found on an adult bookstore shelf. no shame in it, it’s just not my thing. i want to explore the emotional aspects of touch and passion. what brought them to this point, what are they looking for in each other, what do they want from each other, what do they want to give each other? if my partner isn’t looking for that kind of nuance than we’ll both walk away unsatisfied.

𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐒𝐓: this. this and action adventure are my bread and butter. instant gratification writing doesn’t appeal to me. i’m a slow burn masochist. i wanna see characters go through the wringer before finding equilibrium. my modus operandi is macabre as hell, so any chance to be an eldritch writer  — i take it.

— 𝐏𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐯𝐬. 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐒

plots are very hit or miss with me. when meeting a new writer, i prefer to wing it rather than sit there and shove ideas at them that i have no idea if they are interested in or not. i rather get a feel for each other and do a group huddle when need be. but once i get a feel for what someone’s looking for, how they navigate development  —  and i know for certain i’m not going to annoy the bejesus out of them — that’s when i start slinging what-ifs.

My Favorite Albums of 2022*

*not necessarily from 2022

Over the past 12 months, I've somehow acquired 260 CDs, so instead of doing a standard, "Top of 2022 list," I figured I'd share 10 favorite additions to my ever-growing collection, no matter if they were released in 2022 or not. I'll also do it in alphabetical order by album name for simplicity's sake (and 10 out of 260 is already subjective enough!). Here goes!

Tyler, the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost

The brilliant wordplay more than warrants Tyler's oozing braggadocio but the fact that, in many cases, that same braggadocio is only thinly veiling deep insecurities elevates this to a truly astonishing level. "Drama, I need you. Can you turn the noise up?" isn't about getting the party hyped, it's about drowning out that critical voice in the back of your head. It's a call for help. It's a masterwork by an MC who's, somewhat surprisingly, coming for a Top 5 spot.

Soul Glo - Diaspora Problems

The CD came with liner notes and lyrics but you basically need a magnifying glass to read them. But you should get one. Because they're worth it. Verbose, brilliant, genre jumping hardcore.

The Beths - Expert in a Dying Field

Do you remember when "Mr. Brightside" came out and it basically was the "end-all, be-all" song about jealousy? "Expert in a Dying Field," is "Mr. Brightside" for breakups. The rest of the album is just icing on the cake. But the icing is also ridiculously good. Like nearly as good as the cake itself.

Origami Angel - Gami Gang

Dumb puns for song titles ("Neutrogina Spektor," "Tom Holland Oates," "Bed, Bath, and Batman Beyond,"), Pokémon, Game Boy, and Taco Bell references, and a smattering of sick riffs, anthemic choruses, and furious tapping. These 20(!!!) songs are more than just an album, they're a goddamn mission statement for a new generation of nerdy emo kids.

The Hotelier - Like No Place Is There

I can imagine Guy and Ian listening to this album and saying, "yeah, this is exactly where we imagined the genre ending up 30 years later." Devastating, cathartic, rough around the edges, but full of melody, and, most importantly, empathy.

Drug Church - Hygiene

Folks keep labeling this "hardcore," but its New Wave and 90's Alt-Rock influences are too abundant to keep it pinned down. Plus, it's catchy as fuck. An excellent 26 minutes that gets better with each listen.

Pusha T - It's Almost Dry

Focus on the latter half of Pusha's statement of purpose: "Cocaine's Dr. Seuss." It's not just that he raps about slinging coke, it's that he loves the words he uses to rap about slinging coke. That joy, that creativity, that fun is abundant on these 12 tracks. Hell, he even gets Jay to join in. (Hot take: Jay's verse on "Neck & Wrist," is better than his verse on "God DID.")

The Beatles - Magical Mystery Tour

A stone-cold-classic that I finally picked up on CD. Maybe my favorite from the fab four.

Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future

Stripping away the vocal acrobatics and spectacle that instantly hooked me, Denzel keeps his tone simple and direct and his lyrics powerful and personal, further highlighting his talent and chameleonic abilities.

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers

Holding the controversial opinion that DAMN. was a clear step backwards, from the opening moments of "United in Grief," it was clear that K. Dot made a sharp turn back to the complexity and nuance of TPAB and GKMC. It's a deeply uncomfortable listen, giving us an in-depth view of a man struggling to find his true self and how that clashes with who others want (need?) him to be. It's messy and difficult and problematic and exactly the type of album only Kendrick can make.

My One And Only - Chapter 11

Previous | Next

We’re starting to catch up now! But be warned this is also kinda a short chapter so.....sad. I haven’t made much progress in writing the current chapter but I’m going to soon. I had this idea for a one shot in my head for so long that I’m gonna write it down.

"Side effects?" Now he was getting worried.

"The side effects only a true miraculous holder could get" Plagg mumbled hesitantly.

—————————————————————

Adrien blinked in confusion. "What do you mean by 'true miraculous holders'?"

Plagg sighed. "You know how the ladybug and black cat miraculous are the most powerful, right?" Adrien nodded. "And that they both have to be in use at the same time to keep the balance?" Adrien nodded again. "Well since those two are the most powerful miraculous, they can only be used by those capable and those who are true owners have their power boosted. But the power boosting only works if both users are true holders"

"Ok that makes sense, what about the 'side effect' part?" Adrien asked, sadly.

"Since the miraculous are very powerful, sometimes the power is too much to contain in the powered miraculous and therefore seep into the mortal's body causing...inhuman abilities. In Ladybug's case, well as what Tikki has told me, she can now heal plants and wounds" Adrien let out a small gasp of surprise and admiration. "Though these powers can become much greater in her civilian form, even more so when using the miraculous. Because of this, Tikki believes that you might not be the true owner."

"So I can't use the black cat miraculous anymore?" Adrien mumbled, playing with the ring on his finger while there was a lump in his throat.

"Well you still can but you won't be able to increase your powers, actually.... When I think about it, it could be dangerous for both you and Ladybug. Since everything needs to be in balance, Ladybug could get herself seriously injured since we don't know who the real miraculous holder is"

Adrien was surprised at how serious his kwami was. Then he nodded. "I understand, I'm no longer able to be Chat Noir" he sighed and was surprised when Plagg came over and hugged his cheek. Only then did he realise that he was crying. He quickly wiped his tears and focused on looking on the bright side. "Thanks Plagg for being my kwami"

"Wait wait wait" Plagg put his tiny hands up. "Who says you're getting rid of me right now?"

"Wait so I can keep being Chat Noir for a while longer?" Plagg simply nodded.

"Just tell Ladybug whenever you're ready and she'll deal with it. I want some Camembert now"

Adrien laughed and gave Plagg some Camembert then went back to staring at the night sky. 'It's 7 pm' he thought to himself. 'I want to make Ladybug proud, If that means giving up the miraculous then so be it'. He glanced at an image of his father on his computer, one of the magazines talking about the new designs being released. 'Ladybug suspected father at one point. If he was Hawkmoth, how would I react? Ladybug is much better at concealing than me. She'll be able to deal with it, I can't' Adrien sighed and began to read through his fan mail again, thinking of both Kagami and Marinette only to have his thoughts interrupted when a message appeared on his phone. Then remembered, he asked if he should ask one of his crushes on a date. He scrambled to his phone and pressed on the notification to see what Alya had said.

Reportergrill: I think you should ask Kagami out *insert lenny face here*

Me: Oh ok!

He smiled at his friend's advice and then opened his conversation with Kagami to send a message.

~~~

It's Thursday, the day before Friday, two days until the weekend. Chloe was rummaging through her locker, she was mainly buying herself more time. See, she wanted to apologize properly to Mari. 'Can I even call her that? Only her friends can'. She had prepared a folder, inside was everything belonging to Marinette that Chloe had damaged. Chloe took a deep breath and went out of the locker room to see if Marinette was nearby, the bluenette was walking towards the locker room. 'Here goes nothing' "Hey M-Marinette can I t-talk to you?" The blonde stammered.

Marinette blinked in surprise before smiling. "Sure Chloe, what do you want to talk about?"

Chloe then led her to her locker and turned to face her. "Since Sabrina got lured in by Lila I..." Chloe struggled to find the words and just decided to take the folder out of her locker. Marinette looked curiously at it before Chloe handed it to her. "Here's everything that I have ever damaged and I hope that...." she took a deep breath. "You could...forgive me" Chloe closed her eyes, waiting in fear for Marinette's answer, only to be tackled by a hug.

"Thank you Chloe, this means so much to me" Marinette then pulled away from the hug to look at Chloe. "Friends?"

Chloe let out a sigh of relief and hugged Marinette again. "Friends".

They both went to where Alya and Nino were standing. Alya smiled while waving before noticing Chloe was with Marinette. She didn't glare at the blonde, instead she shot Marinette a confused look. "Chloe apologized so I'm giving her a second chance" Marinette stated simply. Alya then nodded and gave Chloe a warm smile.

"Well you're our friend now" Chloe widened her eyes in surprise and then smiled brightly, mouthing a 'thank you'. "Hmmm what should your nickname be?"

"She gives off Queenie vibes" Nino said, giving his idea for a nickname.

Marinette and Alya laughed and soon Chloe joined in. "I hope you don't mind if I call you 'Mare-Bare', Marinette?"

"I don't mind at all! I quite like it"

Chloe nodded, 'So this is what it's like to be in a friend group, I like it'.

~~~

Alya, Marinette, Chloe and Nino were all in Chloe's room, dressing Kagami up. When Kagami had seen the message from Adrien, she immediately went to the friend group for advise. "It's a casual date he said, he'll be taking me to the Louvre" she said. She was surprised when Chloe had joined them and was skeptical at first but after observing her for a while, Kagami concluded that Chloe was genuine with her apology.

After a few tries, the group finally agreed on an outfit for Kagami. She wore black leggings and an over side red hoodie, the exact same shade as her fencing gear. And, as a token of good luck, Mari gave Kagami one of her hair pins, a rose decal. It was an MDC original and Kagami had managed to figure that out. The thing is, three weeks ago she saw Marinette design something very similar to this. "Mari-hime, are you MDC?"

Marinette then began to sweat. "Uhmm...wait what does the 'hime' mean? I've heard of chan, kun, san, sensei and senpai but never 'hime'"

"Well it's usually used to address a princess but it's used for any beautiful woman, like you"

"Awww thank you Gami" Marinette was blushed at the compliment.

"But are you MDC?"

Marinette sighed, 'Can't weasel my way out of this one'. "Uhhh m-maybe?" She sighed once more. "Yes I am"

"Wow!"

"That's great dudette!"

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? This is so cool!"

"Well my mother was impressed by your work so I'm not that surprised"

A chorus of supportive comments showered over her. "Thanks guys but we're helping Gami prepare for her date, right?" She smirked at the blush of the fencer's face. Adrien then called Kagami's phone to tell her that he was there in the car, waiting for her.

~~~

It's finally Friday, Marinette had thought of all the great things that happened yesterday. She made a new friend which just so happens to be Chloe, Kagami went on a date with Adrien, Marinette revealed that she was MDC, she also recorded the first verse in the song after Kagami left. She smiled remembering their praise. She became grateful for all her friends, as well as Uncle Jagged, Penny and Clara Nightingale who wanted to listen listen to Marinette's voice.

The bluenette got changed into a long-sleeved, pastel pink, high-necked cropped jumper with a high-waisted baby blue plaid skirt. She looked in the mirror and felt proud about herself.

"You look very nice Marinette!" Tikki complimented while finishing up her cookie.

"Thanks Tikki"

Marinette then looked for something to put in her hair. She decided to put her hair into a ponytail tied with a long, dark red, silk ribbon. She finished her outfit and she realised she had plenty of time left before school started. Marinette noticed a notification for a message, rolling her eyes as she saw who it was from, Lila. Marinette took a deep breath before going to read it. 'It can't be that bad, right?'

Wrong.

[deathleadsarc]

          im tired of writing today lol so i was thinking of that bl/each verse a bit more seriously and honestly I will just go with her usual backstory in her MULTI, that way it’d be more believable for her to see the shinigami, since she’s seen her god, despite her being a non-religious or spiritual person. She saw her god. she’s seen demons, she’s seen ghosts, faeries, all via rp so i don’t think it’d be too strange for her to see shini/gami as well! so that’s one problem solved.

My only other problem is to figure how to word her alchemy without it sounding overpowered. She can transmute radiation, re-attach and/or create limbs, create animals ( not from nothing, mind, but still ), poison the air, kill from a simple transmutation + touch of any part of your body... and she’s just an all around powerful and dangerously murderous person. travelling all over the place just to gain more knowledge of alchemy and science.

Sekihan’s Happy Go Lucky Column Number Fifteen

ハロハロ赤飯だす（オマージュ）。スパに行くと必ずロッカーの番号は19を狙います。 Hello hello Sekihan dasu (homage [to Yuuyu’s catchphrase]). Whenever I visit the spa I make sure to aim for locker number 19 [In the group Yuuyu’s idol number is 19].

ゆうゆ好きだああああというアウトプットはこの激ロックのコラムだけでなくtwitter 果ては ガチンコザホルモン#12にも及んでおります。（現在非公開になってますが......。あ！遅ればせながら マキシマム ザ ホルモン2号店の"キャーキャーうるさい方と女声"をやることになりましたので この場を借りて激ロック読者のみなさまにご報告致します！） さて。前回までちょっと肩に力が入りすぎていたと申しますか あまりにコッテリが過ぎたようですので 今回は軽めにお送りしますよ（当社比）。 狙ったわけでもなく うしろゆび ゆうゆ おニャン子を好きになったもんですから 当時リアルタイムでおニャン子好きだった年上の方とお話する際 強固な共通点として非常に機能しております。元々自分より上の世代のものに興味を示すクソガキだったのですが おっさんになった今もそこだけはブレずにきたおかげで 素敵に役立っております。 I love Yuyuuuuuu, my output for this is not only here on Geki-Rock columns but also twitter, I covered it on Gachinko The Hormone #12 as well. (Though that episode isn’t public as of right now…. Ah! I can’t believe I haven’t mentioned this yet! At Maximum the Hormone Shop #2 I’m employed as the “Eek eek noisy ass one with the feminine voice”. Thank you Geki-Rock for allowing me to use this platform to send the word to everyone!) Now then. I confess, I was a teensy bit tooo excited last column, it seems it was too intense. So I’ll keep it more easy-going this time ‘round (relatively). I didn’t intend to fall in love with Ushiro Yubi Sasare-Gumi so.. Whenever I have the chance to talk with people older than me, if they happened to be fans of Onyanko back in the day it really serves as a bridge between us. I used to just be considered a lil’ brat who had interest in stuff from older generations, but now that I’m an old man myself I blend in just fine. It’s fantastic.

そんなわしは 花団の潤さん（潤八） たっちんさんが切盛りしている ハハハ八王子 でおニャン子ナイトを開催するのが夢です。 おニャン子世代のバンドマンやら関係者みんな巻き込んでバカ騒ぎするのです。 そのときはみんなSAILORSのトレーナー着て集合だ！って息巻いてます。 One day I dream of opening a Onyanko Night at Hahahahachi Ouji, the bar Jun-san (Junpachi) of Hanadan and Tacchin-san boast. I want to ring in musicians from the Onyanko era and anyone else related for us all to have a whopping good time. I’m dead-set on everyone wearing SAILORS sweatshirts as well!

ね。今回はなんだかライトだったでしょ？♡ Okie-dokie. That was pretty light, wouldn’t you say? ♡

じゃあね！ See ya!

I’ve never even seen this CD single on Melcari (Vinyls are common but CDs are rare). AaaaaaGH I’m so glad that I wound up working for Pony Canyonnnn! Moments like these make me feel glad from the bottom of my heart ♡ Ushiro Yubi senpai♡

▲生稲さんは天使かなにかですか？ Is Ikuina-san an angel or something?

ブレてないよ！ブレてないよ！ I won’t back down! I won’t back down! They’re not blurry alright..! Alright!

今回の激推し曲

うしろゆびさされ組 バナナの涙のB面「あぶないサ・カ・ナ」Aメロの 時代を感じるいなたいおっかけ（だがこれがいい）。サビの Swi Swi Swi Swi Sweet さかっなー のキャッチーさそしてサビ終盤の いっけなーい！ あっぶねぇー！ のセリフのキュートさよ......。 My fav song of the day:

Ushiro Yubi Sasare-Gumi, the B side of Banana no Namida titled “Abunai Sa-ka-na”. It has lame dated cheers the first verse (but that’s what I love). It has the catchy “Swi Swi Swi Swi Sweet sakanna~“ part in the chorus, then the top it off the “Ikkenaaai! Abbune~! [Oh no!]” dialogue bit is so cute….
