Hi Res how have you been doing ?✨️

Question about your a/b/o-verse!

I see the term "carrier" and "parent" be used a lot rather to more usual gendered terms like mother and father (I don't remember if Bruce or Alfred commonly refer to his parents as his mother and father).

Do pup still refer to the parent that carried them during pregnancy as mother/mom and to the other one as father/dad, despite their primary gender? I often see that in a/b/o, like the pregnant parent is referring to themselves as mom no matter if they are a man/woman/other and was wondering about that!

TBH I'm quite curious because I've never read man/woman a/b/o stuffs and I wonder if there was a female alpha with a male omega (him carrying the pups), would he be referred as mom, directly challenging the norms of our society... Anyway! Food for thoughts <3

Have a nice day,

-Jay

(ps: love the tiktok superbat account too haha)

Hi friend! I'm doing okay. Just trying to get through the week, you know?

My goal in writing this fic specifically was to avoid ever having to call Bruce "mom" just because he's an omega with pups. I really like the gender neutral "carrier" and even "sire" (though I wish there was a better word) since it allows for multiple genders and designations to mix and choose the term that best fits for them.

Since Martha and Thomas were both cisgender, I imagine Bruce might have called them mother and father if he wanted. But he would most definitely call them carrier/sire as a default.

One thing I have done differently which I'm still unsure about is having "carrier" not just as a biological term, but as a gender neutral parenting term in general. I.e., Bruce might not have carried Jason to term, but he is Jason's carrier? Jason doesn't call him mom or dad. But he (and if not him, then other people) refer to Bruce as Jason's carrier frequently.

I suppose it all comes down to personal preference. Since Bruce spent so long repressing his dynamic, I don't think he really relishes being called mom. But Lex clearly disagrees and occasionally uses gendered language, usually just to irk Bruce. He also calls himself "Uncle Lex" despite being omega.

It's all a very interesting hodgepodge of our gender norms, in-universe a/b/o tropes, and the a/b/o tropes I've chosen to subvert with my own interpretations.

And, of course, it all depends on how the in-universe trends are going, as we've discussed on here. Are newer generations more or less comfortable with older pack dynamics/instincts? Are they trying to move to a more nuclear family ("mom" and "dad") and away from same-designation couples? Same gender couples?

I'm curious what everyone else thinks.

1, 17, 23 for the OC thing!!! *begging and crying in a puddle on the floor*

What memory would your OC rather just forget?

Probably the day her mother died, it happened during a car crash (Vevina was in the back seat). Her father had always been an abusive alcoholic, but when her mother went, he spiraled further, and he made life a living hell for Vev specifically, as well as her brothers.

What is the worst thing you have put your OC through story-wise?

It's hard to choose, but I think I'm going to go with being kidnapped by the boys to lure homelander to herogasm (they're together publicly at this point). There are several levels of torment here: - Vevina is already so done with Butcher's shit by this point - She HATES Soldier Boy and they end up bickering the whole time - Herogasm disgusts her - She has to sit there and watch everyone gang up on her man, she can't do anything to help and it's not looking good - She ends up catching some strays and gets seriously injured during the fight - After Homelander grabs her and flies away, he freaks out on her and accuses her of betraying him to work with the boys. lmao. He also insists that she has to move in with him for her own safety, but she doesn't want to let go of her apt she loves it too much!

What emotion is the hardest for your OC to process? How about express?

Grief is difficult for her to process, she tends to take things in stride and not think about them too much until she eventually breaks down crying. Anger is most difficult for her to express, she ends up just internalizing it and letting it marinate.

#8. Who's the early bird and who likes to sleep in longer?

As you might expect, for the Hawk and Thrush birdies.

Whenever Talanah can seize the opportunity to sleep in, she is absolutely the late riser. Aloy's chronically awake at dawn, I feel. At first she jokes about it with Talanah, poking a little impatient fun--"I thought the Carja were supposed to rise with the Sun or something." But eventually she grows to enjoy the quiet time, getting to lie in bed and watch Talanah snooze until the restlessness sets in and she has to get up and do something active.

7, 48, and 67 for the ask meme if you haven't done those already :D

7. Any groceries you’ve been getting into lately?

milk chocolate almonds. which i used to be into but they are so expensive so i decided to be fiscally responsible for several years. but i'm getting back into them lately because everything is expensive...might as well.

48. If you could build your home from scratch, what outrageous feature would you want to build into it?

i think...a conversation pit. people would be like what are you up to and i'd be like oh, you know. sittin in my pit.

67. Do you keep any stuffed animals on your bed?

no...they would get lost probably. the only things on my bed are pillows, blankets, my eye mask, and a washcloth. the washcloth is for when i wake in the night unable to breathe and have to suck a lozenge in my sleep, because doing that turns my drool weird colors that will stain my pillow unless i have some sort of absorbent layer between me and it. no space for a stuffed animal in that lifestyle.

77, winning!!!! for Est!

winning :D calm night with mini fellowship <3

Nona pushes her hair back out of her face again. “This one should do it, then.” Horn leans over her shoulder and points at a different card.

“No, try this one.”

“No, that’s how they beat us last time- they have the counter.”

“They might not have it this time.”

“You don’t know that, and if they do, we lose.”

“I don’t think they-” Horn pushes his hair back, too. “I don’t think they do. Your card won’t be enough whether they have the counter or not.”

“And if they do have it, we lose outright.”

“It’s a chance we should take.”

“They’ve had it the last three rounds, Horn.”

Esterín and Corudan trade looks. Esterín’s cards are held carelessly in one hand while Corudan’s are held very properly before his chest. Nona squints at them.

“They have the counter,” she says, and plays her first choice.

“You should listen to Nona, Horn,” Corudan says solemnly. “She is wise.” He plays a card from his own hand. Horn throws down a counter to it with a wide smile- and so has nothing to play against Esterín’s card when she reverses the turn order and plays an offensive card of her own. “Not that it would save you,” Corudan adds serenely as Horn and Nona both groan, dropping their cards in yet another defeat.

“They must be cheating,” Horn says as Nona combs her hair out of her face yet again. “There’s no way they’re just this lucky.”

“We simply have an abundance of experience with the game that you lack,” Corudan says. Esterín barely keeps herself from snorting. She had learned this from Cúcheron while they waited in the Haunted Inn for Raddir’s word to start the journey through the Drownholt less than two months before.

“An abundance of experience cheating perhaps,” Horn mutters. Nona rolls her eyes.

“You wound me, Horn,” Corudan says, a hand to his chest. “Would any warrior of Lothlórien stoop so low as to cheat at a game of cards among friends?”

“If they could do so without being caught, I daresay they would,” Nona says, watching Esterín collect and reshuffle the cards. “I expected better of you, though, Esterín.”

Esterín laughs. “You think too highly of both me and my card-skill. I wouldn’t recommend playing any sort of gambling game with Saeradan,” she adds after a moment. “His luck is even more suspicious than Corudan’s.”

“Surely you don’t believe I am cheating too, Esterín,” Corudan demands. Esterín grins impishly.

“I believe I have not seen you cheating.”

Horn blows hair out of his eyes. “One more game.” Nona groans. “We’ll beat them this time.”

“I admire your persistence, Horse-lord.”

“See, I do have at least one redeeming quality.”

“I wouldn’t go that far…”

Esterín laughs to herself and begins the next round. They’re partway through the second round after that when Horn straightens abruptly, hair flying into his eyes again. “This is ridiculous.” He hands Nona his cards and digs in his pack. “Do you want one?” He holds up a tie and Nona glances over distractedly from both hands of cards.

“Yes, gladly.” Horn holds one tie between his teeth while he gently pulls Nona’s hair back. “I think this one first,” she says while he ties her hair, trying to indicate a card with both of her hands full of other cards. “Then this from my hand.”

“Counters?” Horn follows her gaze, tying his own hair.

“This one.”

Horn takes his cards back. “Alright. Let’s try it.”

They don’t win that hand, or the next.

“That may be enough for tonight,” Esterín laughs as the night draws on. 

“One last hand.” It’s Nona suggesting it this time, glaring intently at the deck. “The last one, I swear.”

Esterín sighs. “Fine, if we all agree.”

It’s worth the two additional hands they play just to see the look on Corudan’s face when Horn and Nona finally do pull off a victory, cheering loud enough to startle the birds from a nearby tree and embracing each other as if they just won some great battle. Esterín grins and elbows Corudan.

“What now, my friend?’

“I will simply have to pay more attention next time,” he says, as dignified as if he stood before the Lady Galadriel. “But for now, I believe it is my watch.” And he takes up a position beyond the light of the fire to definitely not pout about losing at cards despite cheating outrageously.

for the spotify ask meme: 37 + spirk, obviously!

hi Jessi!! thanks for the ask!!

my #37 is purple circles by Jades Goudreault :)

I wonder what would happen if I talked to the stars Maybe they would tell me get some rest

This song is pretty night-focused and melancholy (They say the night is scary, to me the night is calm // I wish that I was scared, then I might go home) so I'm thinking a pre-during-post AOS character study that tracks Jim's inability to sleep.

When he's younger, he can't sleep at home at all because of Frank. Then as a teenager post-Tarsus (because I'm firmly a Tarsus-in-AOS-truther) he can't sleep because of All That. Then he gets to the Academy, where's he's finally safe, but now he's not sleeping because he's too busy catching up to and then surpassing his peers who had more rigorous schooling growing up. Then after Nero he can't sleep because of survivor's guilt and thinking that if he had been better/faster/smarter he could have saved more people on Vulcan or the cadet corps who died there.

One night, wandering the ship or Academy campus after everyone else is asleep, he discovers that Spock can't sleep either, in the aftermath of Vulcan and discovering the role that he's supposed to play in the future. They start spending their nights together just so they're not alone, but then they discover that around each other is the only place they each feel safe enough to fall asleep.

...well I guess I know what I'm writing after Fake Married is done lmfao

send me a number and ship and I’ll give you a song and summary of a fic!

thanks Vee! you gave me a Floydsin snippet, I give you a Floydsin snippet!

He loudly sniffles, which his friends are kind enough to ignore, before meeting her eyes again. “You guys can’t cancel your trip. Who is going to bring me back a foam crown from the Statue of Liberty? Payback ignored my request last time he went home to Brooklyn.” The weak chuckle he forces out following his lame joke is quickly cut off. “Why don’t you want to stay with Bob? I thought you two got along?” Javy’s genuine and caring look as he turns from his place in the passenger seat almost makes him spill his guts. But he holds back, knowing that if his friend knew the real reason he doesn’t want to stay with Bob, not only would he cancel the trip where he’s going to propose to his girlfriend, but he’d also try to find a way to drop out of the Navy so he wouldn’t have to go to the training. So he evades. “We do get along. I just don’t want to bother him. He retired from the Navy, and now he’s going to have to deal with all of that crap again when it comes time for my physical therapy and all of that.” “Jake, that’s sweet of you, but when he heard that you needed a place and a helping hand while we’re gone, he volunteered his place. If he didn’t want to deal with “all of that,” he wouldn’t have offered.” Natasha’s matter-of-fact tone makes his heart stop. I didn’t know he offered. “I didn’t know he offered.”

for every 🌹 in my inbox i’ll post a random bit of a random WIP i’m currently writing

[thequeenofthewinter]

for the get-to-know-me game, orchid, bamboo, aloe vera, and nutmeg?

Hello friend! <3 Thanks so much for the ask! :D I had a lot of fun thinking about the questions.

Orchid -- Oh, a perfect song? Man, that’s a really challenging question out of the gate. I had to sit and think on this for a while before answering it. I think at different moments of my life, I would answer this differently. However, at the moment I have really been into “Cassandra” by Florence + the Machine. It’s just been so “fhuahdaskjfhaslf” for me.

Bamboo -- I teach at a university, and so depending on what I am wearing and how many hours of class I have been giving…I do change when I get home. (Also, how hot I am is a factor.) However, no matter what I am wearing, I ALWAYS take off my shoes as soon as I get in the door.

Aloe vera -- Mundane…hm…oh, I have it. I would like to own a house someday. Very mundane, but also very expensive in the current economy. (I still live in an apartment with my husband.)

Nutmeg -- My home decor is not all that interesting. It’s kind of academia-core with books and a desk and papers all over the place.
