stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

Psalm 63:1-8 (NIV). “You, God, are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. I will be fully satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will praise you. On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night. Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings. I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.

���Conquering Fear” By In Touch Ministries:

“The God of the universe offers constant love and care to all who trust Him.”

“When you feel fear begin to rise, how do you typically respond? The next time you face anxiety, pause to ask yourself the following questions: Has God ever failed me in the past? Does He promise to meet all of my needs? Does He keep His promises?

If we read the Bible, we’ll find countless stories of God’s faithfulness. For example, the apostle Paul lived through persecution, pain, and all kinds of terrible circumstances, yet he was able to make the bold declaration that God weaves it all together for the good of His followers (Romans 8:28). This testifies to the fact that for those who trust in Him, God turns every difficulty, loss, and separation into something beneficial.

Whatever we read in Scripture—whether it’s a story about Abraham, Sarah, Job, Hannah, David, Isaiah, Jonah, John, Paul, or others—we see God’s constant love and care for His people. His Word is a lamp that will give us clear guidance when circumstances are bleak. It offers the best direction we’ll ever find. When we meditate upon it, pray over it, grapple with it, and incorporate it into our life, His light chases away the darkness.

God, the sovereign ruler of this universe, is in control of your life. When you read your Bible and meditate on it, you will find genuine strength in His promises.”

I’m scared because I’ve lived my life wanting to die most of the time, and now that I don’t ...

[fairy-verse]

Who is the most popular firstborn fairy amounts the fairies?

Well, that’s difficult to say, because each season fairy will vote for their respective firstborn. The autumn fairies will say Nightmare, the winter fairies will say Error, and so forth. However, if we instead ask: Which firstborn is the one most openly worshipped and admired by their fairies?

Then that answer will become Dream.

Dream can scarcely be around his own summer fairies without being surrounded by song and flower petals scattered around and over him. They might seem almost obnoxiously bothersome to the other firstborn but Dream absolutely loves this attention. The love and devotion his own summer fairies have for him make him beyond joyful, and he returns this love with warmth and sunlight.

The other season fairies do of course show open love and worship towards their own firstborns as well, but the summer fairies are the ones who are the loudest when it comes to this very thing. Hilariously enough, they’ve attempted to do this towards Error whenever he comes to visit Dream, just because they want to ensure that he stays in a good mood, but it does the complete opposite as Error finds it to be incredibly annoying. It always ends with the summer fairies scattering in fright, much to Error’s amusement. Dream isn’t as amused, but he won’t deny that he prefers those moments alone with Error, so he doesn’t mind if his summer fairies leave them alone for a little while.

would you say omega on omega “rivalry” is considered a normal trait? we haven’t seen that much interaction between more “ordinary” (considering the setting ha) omegas. ef is quite unique and flitmouse is older and would be more mellow)

i keep thinking of that time faber was reacting to efnisiens presence, and then his interaction with i forgot his name it was french coded haha.

i was curious to know if faber represents more of the “classic” omega traits you would expect from both a regular but also traumatised omega or if faber is just being his usual unstable self.

im thinking if caleb or even gary and temsen were to recognise fabers omega nature and revisit past encounters, what would those behaviors be?

i guess this will be explored in the actual fic so i dont want to ask you to spoil anything if but i love when you give us world building content here especially the scientific/medical side of things youre really the first one to go so in DEPTH and its sooo satisfying

thank u have a good day sir

Hi anon!

Omega rivalry is very normal to a point. This is not a world where omegas have a strong drive to befriend each other in general, until after they've been claimed by an alpha. And after that point, if they are in an insecure relationship, they will not want to befriend other omegas at all. This includes characters like Flitmouse, and also Nate. (We'll see that as their stories progress).

It's also why omegas aren't cleared to even hang around other omegas for a long part of their healing period. It's why Efnisien in Underline the Black never ever sees them hanging out together, the rare times he sees them, and it's a huge part of why Hillview actually has to be such a large property in the first place (that and keeping alpha pheromones separate).

In a healthier society, omegas would have more of a drive to bond inter-generationally (i.e. at points where they wouldn't feel threatened because of age-gaps etc.), but this society isn't healthy and hasn't been for a long time. So it's popularised in movies, television, and in reality, that omegas do not like each other and do not like to socialise with each other. An omega is considered "radicalised" if they bond with another omega as a friend.

There's scenes that will sort of indicate this as the story goes on. But Flitmouse is considered unusual for the way he can bond with other omegas, and it's definitely not how he's always felt. We're going to see more of his...connections to omegas in Underline the Gold. Even in Underline the Blue we see that Christian's new omega is by default automatically cruel and mean to Nate, simply because Nate was a previous lover and he wants to make it clear that he's hostile to Nate. And he's just a voice on the phone. So we're not just seeing this from omegas within the Hillview system, we're seeing it from omegas who have never been to Hillview.

As for Faber and his behaviours, and what the alphas around him will notice, you'll have to find out! That'll definitely be explored in Underline the Red. That being said, I do think it's important to note that Faber's case is complicated not just because he feels he is an omega. He's been raised as a beta with strong elements of self-hatred and self-loathing, with internalised beta bigotry to boot. Like, 'a little of column A, a little of column B, and some secret third thing' are more realistic as an answer vs. 'is it this one thing or this other thing that makes him like this.'

But yeah rivalry is absolutely considered normal. The degree itself can become pathological (Lucien is heading towards murdering other omegas before he comes to Hillview), but it being present at all is considered completely normal, in the same way that alphas posturing around each other or being possessive of their omegas, or not wanting any other alphas around their omega and that being a problem, is considered completely normal.
