These are basically my complaints about a lot of a/b/o tbh.

Yeah, I can see that. Especially the social commentary and the under and over explaining.

One thing I always think about is like… if alphas and omegas developed a relatively long time ago in human evolution, why are male and female still the primary sex designations? I would think, even though they show up later in life (for the most part) that the stuff that determines whether your primary role in reproduction is to impregnate or be impregnated would be the more important stuff. 

Another thing… male omegas are always kind of lumped in with all other omegas, which makes sense but I always wonder like… depending on when the A/B/O stuff was introduced to human society, there’s a possibility that male omegas might be seen as the best thing in the world, right? Wouldn’t there be some cultures where being a male omega or a female alpha would land you a lot of social status? Or at least a special social class with some dignity and respect? What kind of inequality exists between male omegas and female omegas? (Because you know there’s gotta be some, right?) 

Ugh I’m rambling again. But yeah, the thing about A/B/O is that it’s ripe with opportunity to explore social dynamics and structure and even alternate history, but a lot of it is copy/paste hot button issues.

Fanfic isn’t getting updated today because I’ve…

I feel your tags

The struggle between slowly building things so that your audience will not only believe it, but might actually be surprised/heartbroken/excited when the inevitable hard turn hits and say “fuck it! you want drama? here’s your drama” is a pain in the ass.
I know people love a good slow burn, but writing them is painful.

@ltleflrt replied to your post “It’s too freaking early and I can’t sleep thought: I’d love to be able…”

I’d be especially interested in non-SPN fandoms since a/b/o originated there. Although there’s probably some pretty big differences in the 2 big ships Wincest and Destiel, and even SPN RPF where the original J2 prompt came from. It’s fascinating to me, and I really hope some nerd out there does a study following its changes over the years and fandoms 😀

*snots* If I ever wind up pursuing grad school (and post-grad) I’ll probably wind up being that nerd. 

I will say, though, just from the fic I’ve read in SW there’s some pretty big differences. Like, common things in SPN fic like omegas hating their omega-ness, the eye color changing based on presentation, presentation happening at puberty, mentions of true mates, heck even just wolves being the animal that traits and mannerisms are based off of, are either not their or are totally different. And! If you look at Reylo specifically (because that’s what I’ve been doing lol) that ship has even undergone some really interesting changes from beginning to present. (The oldest A/B/O fics are alpha!Rey while a fair number now are omega!Rey. Older fics are more smutty one-shots, newer fics are still very smutty, but crave out new and different universes where this trope makes sense. There are more comments on the American healthcare system and reproductive rights, too.) 

Yeah, I could probably ramble on for too long about this lol. I just find it so interesting that this smutty little trope can and does have so much depth and focuses on so many different things just depending on who’s writing it and for which ship/fandom. If I had to pick a topic to research, it’d definitely be this one. 

5 and 29?

5 : Do you write better with or without deadlines?

Do I write better with deadlines? I’m honestly not sure. I know I actually write if I’m given a deadline. If I don’t have deadlines the chances that my fics will either be forgotten or there will be way too much time between updates are about 89%. But of the fics I’ve written on a deadline, I only really like one of them. So in all honestly I’m not sure. Deadlines make me write so I guess I do write better with them, considering *something* is better than nothing. 

29 : Do you tend to underwrite or overwrite in a first draft?

I overwrite. I’m big on long poetic descriptions and huge chunks of time where characters just talk to each other. I have to kill my darlings quite frequently. 

Thanks! 

Writer asks! 

@ltleflrt replied to your post “So I’m watch Revenge of the Sith and I hate how much I agree with…”

To be honest, I’d probably end up a Sith.

Oh, same. I think it’s safe to say that while the Sith were undoubtedly evil, the Jedi also sucked and I’d much rather be allowed to use things like anger and fear than be told it was bad to have normal emotions. 

And there’s of course that whole forbidden fruit thing. Don’t tell me I shouldn’t do something because I’ll just want to do it more.

“An Announcement”

Welcome to multi fandom – I share a ton of SPN, but also Resident Evil, Until Dawn, Marvel, and whatever else I please. It’s your blog, it should be about the things you love! =)

@majesticduxk said: it’s weird you know, I always just post what I want, and it never occurs to me no one else does… but I am glad you making moves to make your blog much more something you want!

@majesticjiminie said: I’m so glad you decided to just say, fuck it, and blog about what you want. It always surprises me when people don’t do that, cause I give no fucks and post everything, ha ha, so I’m glad you’ve decided not to worry anymore ❤

 @unforth-ninawaters said: Yaaas join me in posting multifandom chaos

@ltleflrt said: I think it’s funny you’re making an announcement. I just start reblogging my new loves and hope for the best lol

Thanks guys! I gotta say I was pretty nervous about it, but your support (and the support of everyone who liked my post) means a lot. I’m looking forward to the chaos a little bit, though, I gotta see. It’ll be fun to just do what I want now that I’ve given myself permission to do so. 

@whitmerule said: Good to know! 🙂 Personally I find reylo kind of creepy but that is why I have it blacklisted – and I follow you because I like you, so I still want you around. Certainly no shipping hate or blocking from this quarter.

You’re totally free to feel that way, I’ll just make sure I keep it tagged 🙂 

@wingstocarryon-replies said: Can’t wait! I love star wars and am interested in Reylo. Just like I love spn. Talk to me about either any time!

Lol, you sure? B/c I could talk about the reylo dynamic for days, probably. And like, the numerous narrative foils in the saga as a whole and various character arcs and all that fun stuff. I’ve been toying with a few posts for weeks now that deal with the ways different characters function as mentors and how successful they are/aren’t. I’ll extend the same offer to you, of course. Anytime you want to talk about star wars, or reylo, or spn, I’d love to chat.
