summer of cum day 7: multiple orgasms

(previous days)

max/daniel. 839 words. depressed omega daniel universe. for @accidentalf1stan, who is depressed omega daniel's biggest champion ♥

Daniel really didn’t know if he’d ever get here again.

Get to a place where not only would he want sex with his alpha again, but to where he could come, and come again.

And again.

Max has worked two intense orgasms out of him already with just his mouth and his fingers and Daniel is trembling with the anticipation and desperation of more. Since his meds started helping they’ve been a lot more sexually active and Daniel’s grateful for it; for the closeness and security it brings to their bond, for the ability to please his alpha, for the satisfaction he never thought he’d feel again after being knotted by Max.

They’d started slow, just simple, easy sex to test the waters and see how Daniel felt about it emotionally, now that his body had the desire again.

Max had been gentle, sweet, good to him the whole time and not pushed too hard. Never too hard. Just enjoyed taking care of his omega without overwhelming Daniel.

Now, though, Daniel’s sex drive is fully online again and he’s taken with just how good it is to come for his alpha, to show his alpha he’s doing a good job. Daniel whines high in his throat as Max’s fingers ease out of him after his second orgasm – good, but not enough. Not full enough.

“Please,” Daniel whimpers, feeling that lonesome pit in his stomach at the loss of his alpha’s touch. Between his legs, Max pushes up onto his hands and knees, grins at Daniel as he nudges Daniel’s legs that much winder to fit between them.

“Please what?” Max asks, and Daniel can feel Max’s delight. Can feel how happy Max is to be connecting with Daniel, to be re-strengthening their mating bond, to touch Daniel like this again.

“I want your knot,” Daniel whines, catching himself off guard by just how deeply true it is. Since they started having sex again Daniel’s always been happy to have Max inside of him, to feel their connection, but he’s a little taken right now with just how much he wants it. He hasn’t felt desire like this in months. Max has wrung two orgasms out of him already and Daniel still wants more.

“Oh my god,” Max pants, pulling a full lip between his teeth as he nudges Daniel’s knees back to spread him wider, wider still. Daniel can feel how wet he is; slick and messy and it sends a thrill up his spine to know, to know, he’s everything that Max desires.

“Knot me,” Daniel says, reaching down between them to curl his hand around Max’s dick, stroke him a few times, tug to get the point across. “Max, please, I need it,” he says, babbling now until he watches Max nod and feels Max press against him, press his dick inside in a smooth, deep grind.

Gasping, Daniel arches his back as his dick twitches against his belly, still hard despite Max making him come twice. He shivers through a little mini orgasm, dick dribbling a little against his belly as Max hooks his elbows under Daniel’s knees and folds his legs back, folds him in half to fuck him hard and deep.

Daniel can only cling to Max, head tossed back as Max fucks him, moaning for his alpha. He hasn’t had this in so long and he can’t help but to just ride out the feeling. He can’t do anything but take what Max has to give him, feels himself simmering under, floaty, warm, happy, both so deeply in and out of his body at the same time.

Daniel can feel Max’s knot and the way it grows, the way Max has to push a little harder now until finally he locks into place. When he feels Max come inside him, deep and satisfying every omega desire he has, Daniel comes too – again – not even hearing himself and the involuntary little omega coos he lets out as Max fills him.

When he’s through the intensity of it all, coming back to himself out of his omega fog, there’s Max safely on top of him, inside of him, stroking through Daniel’s sweaty curls and pressing kisses over his cheek and nose, nuzzling in. Daniel blinks up at him and can’t help the soft little ‘oh’ he whimpers when he sees the tears welled in Max’s pretty blue eyes.

“I haven’t heard you do that in so long,” Max says, as he leans in to press a kiss to Daniel’s lips. “I missed it, missed you, like this,” he says as he tucks his head down and nuzzles into Daniel’s neck to graze his teeth over the mating mark there. Daniel clings to Max, shivering at the pressure against his mark, feels overwhelmed with it all.

“Thanks for waiting for me,” Daniel whispers as he closes his eyes. Max has been the most patient, loving, kind alpha Daniel’s never felt he deserved.

Max’s warm, deep alpha rumble against his chest is all the answer Daniel needs.

So my very first fic/maxiel idea was this paranoid alpha Daniel thing where he was suffering at McLaren and thought people were saying he was an unfit alpha to take care of his pack. I never wrote it because, well idk. Sounds dumb but everyone was moving on from alpha!Dan narratives to omega!Dan and I also couldn’t think of how to even write it and I knew it was going to be all depressing n stuff. I guess that interview in Aus where Max says it gets smelly and Daniel said he sweats a lot kinda brought me back to alpha Dan in a way. But I focused on the after. The way after. Anyway. Idk if I’ll ever continue this. I’m just happy to get this down- with the block I’ve been experiencing lately. But at least. Here it is

“Gosh, at least open a window or something.” Lando complained when Max opened the door.

“You’re lucky I even let you in.” Max groused. The apartment smelt fine to him. Like them. Daniel’s sweat and musk was fine perfume to his senses, even as it quite literally blanketed the air in his pre rut state.

“You literally invited me.” Lando raised the tote bags at his side, pulling them out of Max’s reach playfully.

“Mate! Don’t be a dick.” Max pouted while Lando laughed at him.

“You’re so jumpy, nervous?” Lando walked into the kitchen, making sure to not brush against any furniture.

“Yeah, well. It’s his first rut since— y’know.” And Lando did know. This was Daniel’s first rut with Max since they got back together, since Daniel was allowed back on the grid, since Red Bull took him on so they could keep courting, since Daniel got healthy again. Since the incident.

Since Daniel had a public mental breakdown and they disbanded his pack, saying he wasn’t a fit alpha to take care of anyone.

Max had been taken into Charles’ pack and Lando to Carlos’.

“Are you guys going to mate?” Lando asked, picking at his cuticles— a Daniel habit he picked up.

“No, not yet. He wants it to be special he said.” Max smiled softly.

“Where is he?” Lando had expected to see the alpha in the couch with the way how his scent was so strong— as if he’d been walking around and rubbing his armpits everywhere.

“He’s taking a shower.—“

“Maxy do we have any of those- oh hey Lando.” Daniel walked into the living room scratching his ear. His shirt clung to the wet spots on his shoulders and back.

“Hey mate, how’re you feeling?” Lando chirped, giving in to a quick hug.

“Steady. I’m feeling steady.” Daniel slung an arm around Max’s shoulder and the omega leaned into him easily and with a smile. Lando couldn’t hold back his grin.

“I’m glad.”

That alpha Miguel post was great 🤤

It made me think of alpha hawk who just wants a mate so bad but he hasn't found the right omega yet which bums him our bc he wants a pretty omega and some pups already 😓

And then one day he's hanging out with hks friends at thenmall or smtg and he sees chubby omega reader walking in a pretty sundress and he thinks she has the most perfect breeding hips and her scent is so nice and he just fucking bails on his friends to go talk to her bc that's her, that's his omega

(Unedited) (This isn’t really NSFW-ish,sorry)

“So how's the work at the dojo going? Miguel was telling me about it earlier on the phone.”

Sam said picking at her tray of mall fries, Miguel was busy trying to shove a hand-sized pretzel down his throat next to her. Demetri was busy meaning around on his phone, and Robby was chowing down on a thing of noodles next to him. Hawk rolled his eyes as he sat back in the mall's hard metal chair. He huffed as he looked at the shorter girl.

“It's going pretty good actually. Besides doing classes, Johnny and Daniel put me and Miguel on doing the summer camp this year. Whole shebang, Daniel even updated the campground and everything at the cabins.” Hawk preened a little at the success. Its been over two years of working at the dojo and three years out of highschool. He was proud of how far he had come.

Sam smiled at him saying “That’s great! I knew you guys where going to move up. I know you guys did camps last year how was that? You guys started doing elementary school classes too right?” Haw nodded at her. His mind flashed back to the previous year at the summer camp.

Hawk had been a bit nervous at the idea of taking on such young pups. They were so small and balls of energy at that age too. That energy was used well during classes, he thought it was funny to see a room full of tiny pups do two hours of karate before basically passing out on the mats for a long overdue nap.

“You know since we are on the topic-”

“If you bring up pups I'm not going to hear it.”

Sam pouted as Hawk shut her down. He didn't want to hear about how she and her wife were trying to have pups. They started trying about a month ago with IVF stuff, sadly both of them were omegas so they had to find other options to start their family.

Sam also knew Hawks luck with omega’s. After his failed relationship with Moon back in high school he didn't have much luck after that. He also realized Moon was never his mate, at least not his true one. Moon was pretty and nice and a great omega but she was missing something that not even Hawk could pinpoint. They both knew it and went their separate ways on food terms. But after that Hawk didn't have much of a dating life after that, a few one-night stands but nothing official.

Deep down it upset him and even made him a little bit depressed to be alone like that. Not not have someone by his side to love, the alpha instinct to have a mate and protect them. It eat away at him and he used anger as a way to deflect outsides like Sam.

Miguel spoke up saying “Me and my wife where thinking about having some soon, we just moved into the new house so there is room now. We haven’t really decided, we are thinking about just letting it happen? Not really fully planning for it I guess.” He shrugged. Hawk rolled his eyes as he looked at Demetri who was finally off his phone for a moment.

“Don't ask me-”

“I'm not in this discussion either, leave me out of it.” Robby side-eyed the group as he finished his noodles. Both Demetri and him where a dead end on the idea of pups in the first place. Both of them are not really interested in the idea at the moment. No one blamed them, Demetri was in his own little world with his girlfriend and Robby had no clue about small pups in the first place.

Hawk huffed as they sat at the table for a while, more small talk going on but Hawk choose to tone them out.

The group later got up and left the courtyard to explore the great of the mall. Hawk was just happy that they could get passed the conversation on mates and pups.

His mind was focused on following the group as they walked around the slightly busy mall. But something made him start looking around frantically. He stopped mid-step before looking around the area, the rest of the group not noticing and continued walking. Leaving the alpha behind.

He turned up his nose as he sniffed the air. There where hundreds of different scents that filled the air but one was making his head spin and pulling him. It filled his nose and made his heart thump harder in his chest. It was sweet and warm, it almost felt like it could coat his lungs like warm soft butter. It was like a sweet cream almost. His eyes looked around as he sniffed harder, trying to find the source of the scent.

Finally, he locked onto the omega that was steadily pumping out the scent.

She probably didn't even know she was doing it. She definitely didn't smell like she was on any one of suppresents with how thick her scent was.

He really couldn't help the way he was checking her out from afar. She was breathtaking, she had on a frilly sun dress that fit her perfectly and moved and swayed with the slightest movement.

Shit and her hips, wide and filling out the dress perfectly so he could see all of her. Hips thick and filling, he could practically already feel the way they molded under his hands as he felt her up. From the view he had her ass matched her hips, big and fat. His mouth watered not only from her scent but the view he had of her. He couldn't help but cut across the open mall area, passing and bumping into people as he jogged over to her.

Her sweet scent only got stronger the closer he got to her.

She finally turned around a bit more so he could see her fully. She was thick and wide all over. Fluffy stomach and thick arms, round cheeks, and full lips that were turned up in a small smile as she looked around. Her eyes seemed to almost glimmer as she looked at the mall's shops.

Suddenly he felt too close.

Maybe because he was less than a foot away from her now and her scent was making his mouth water.

“I uh think you dropped this.”

Her voice was like sugar as it filled his head.

“Oh yeah thanks, didn't even notice I dropped it. The names Hawk by the way.”

“I'm guessing it's because-”

“Yep it's the hair.”

She giggles as he points the his short mohawk that he was still rocking from highschool.

Their talk was long and they ended up walking around the mall with one another. He found out she was new to the area and was trying to get acclimated to the new place. The mall seemed to be the perfect place to explore first.

Hawk couldn’t take his eyes off of her the whole time. It was like she was pulling him in with every second he spent talking to her, standing next to her. She was so nice it was hard not to just look away for a split second.

It wasn’t until over two hours later when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He quickly pulled it out and checked his messages. There where about five or so texts in the group chat he was in with everyone.

“Hey where did you go?”

“Dude you did not ditch us.”

“Was this because of the whole pup conversation? It’s stupid you would just leave because of that.”

He could only smirk as he spared a glance over at the chatty happy omega that was walking next to him. He moved a bit closer to her, their shoulders brushing together.

She didn’t move away from the action.

He smirked back down at his phone as he started texting back.

“That might not be a issue soon enough. I ditched you guys for better stuff. Talk to y’all later.”

He shoved his phone back into his pocket after he sent the text.

He ignored the new frantic vibration’s of his phone as he leaned in closer to the Omega for the time being.

Everyone’s gonna send you the same character I bet but LDPDL

first impression: pretty and seems mentally unstable, Performing

impression now: i hope everyone in the entire universe blows up and kills themselves and dies until all that’s left is him and his juicy fat scrumptious delicious ass. and his daughter

favorite moment: started breathing heavily. probably still confession break down or him almost standing up for himself to family at Florence’s funeral even though he still ends up giving them what they want😓 i really love when characters have a total mental break though so also the end of e7

idea for a story: sigh. let’s see what’s in my mind palace… I do kind of want to write him entering subspace for the first time for real but i can’t quite figure out in what capacity… wonder if lestat should be a professional dom. it would be kinda funny to write mob wife Louis or something where lestat takes over the du lac territory and Louis along with it, maybe lestat kills Louis’ dad in turf war or something idk I’ve never been interested in mob au but that would be interesting for loustat. or unfeminist omegaverse where lestat forces Louis to present as omega. 😥

unpopular opinion: i don’t believe that he was a bad parent to Claudia. I think that he was a long term abuse victim (from one household to another) that struggled deeply but so many traumatic moments are catalyzed by him trying to protect Claudia or him going along with what will make Claudia happier even when he’s miserable about it. The only time that I think he was selfish was taking back lestat in e6 and even then i think there’s serious lack of empathy and continued victim blaming from fandom as if Daniel’s victim blaming is law. I think Claudia can be as resentful and angry towards Louis as she wants because the child’s feelings are always more important and she doesn’t need to have the big picture precisely bc that is her father, but as viewers we do have the big picture and we do need to take everything into account and I’m continually shocked and disgusted at the lack of critical thought and empathy shown towards him. even book lewis seems to receive little empathy for his trauma responses so i do think victim blaming and Louis being the second every male victim of misogyny are the issues here 🫤 but perhaps this empathy would require acknowledgement that abused ppl can and do still love their abusers, whether familial or romantic, and that this is not a personal failing on their part, and i think we’re very far off from that. maybe when we abolish patriarchy I guess

favorite relationship: lestat/louis and then his relationship with claudia and then his relationship with his family. Yes these are all tragic and depressing

favorite head canon: i don’t have headcanons i have facts. my favorite hc used to be that he’s Haitian then i read the pilot script and he is. i used to joke that he’s canon bottom then Anne rices gay son who is a producer for the show said he’s canon bottom. maybe rolin will get him pregnant next idk 🤷🏾‍♀️ ok all jokes aside (i wasn’t joking) maybeeeeeee that he is shondaland fan. Unfortunately. Ok can i be honest i want to say that he’s a size queen and only wants to get fucked raw and creampied and that even though we joke a lot about lestat being the evil one who would never use a condom that Louis is exactly as evil. If lestat ever listened to him when he says they should use a condom he’d be like Actually I’m not in the mood 😒 or he pokes a hole in the condom. Tbh Louis wouldn’t even have condoms in his house. If lestat asks he thinks lestat thinks he’s a sloppy whore, and not in the fun way. Whew ok sorry i needed to let that out i couldn’t pretend to be normal

#evil things are brewing in my mind for that idea for a story #my brain is why por que no los tres ?#qs

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. 🩷

hi love ♥️ okay here goes…

wildflower

I mean all of the turkey dinosaurs series is my favourite, but particularly wildflower because I feel like I managed to squeeze a lot of emotional depth in there

nobody wins a war

I put my whole pussy (and history degree) into this fic for @danifesting! It’s my longest one shot, the fic I researched the most, and probably technically some of my better writing.

25mg

a love letter to anyone struggling with their mental health tbh, and also I love that this inspired @fourmula1’s depressed omega daniel verse because that’s ICONIC

I struck a match and blew your mind

my first f1 fic!!!! I’ll be honest sometimes I think I could do a much better job if I rewrote this now but… it’s still one of the more exciting au’s I’ve played around with I think

I just want to know you like nobody ever has

I lost my god damn mind writing this. I had challenged myself to write something smutty because I am BAD at it. I wrote one rimming scene and jam packed as much detail in as I could and I think it worked! I’m proud of it!

In Knights and Pawns, when they decide to not have anymore pups, do the older pups have to stand guard between Daniel and Terry when the former is in Heat to stop their Dad from uh, “helping” Mama through his Heat? Or is Terry just biting his teeth in his study and controlling himself? That’s a funny image though. Can omegas get pregnant only when in Heat? What if they are female omegas, can they get pregnant outside of a Heat too? What about male omegas?

As for the pregnancies - I think that our tendency to even get pregnant when the body is not capable of surviving through it sometimes (too young, too tired, too sick) is a bit of a design flaw. Also things like the pregnancy being possibly fatal even in previously healthy people (ecclampsia, post partum depression, the body having autoimmune response against a fetus) is a bit of a design flaw. I think omegas evolved to not have that, and have heats as a kind of natural regulation against too many pregnancies (which is not 'official lore', I am making this up as I go). Can female omegas get pregnant the way our women and other genders do? It's not regular, otherwise Kumiko would definitely have had Daniel's puppy 😈, but... you know how after wars the birthrate miraculously goes up to replace all the people killed? Maybe omegas have a hormonal switch too - be with only betas or omegas long enough and they may get pregnant more often without heats. Even male omegas can get pregnant outside of a heat because no body is completely regular, but that happens more when they're younger and I think breastfeeding is a very strong contrareceptive there, as is having many pups around. The body constantly gets the signal: no extra pups needed rn (with a heat meaning- but now I am in top form to have one, let's goooo!).

I think the first two times after Daniel has decided to sit a heat out Terry gnashes his teeth and doesn't go near him. Samantha, Yasmin, Eli, even Robby (not as strong but a truly great shot) are all there, to guard him, and Gianni is there for Luna and Anthony. Having Alpha, beta and omega pups near is a great comfort anyway - Luna snuggles up to Mama after Anthony changes the sheets for him and that works as a great suppressant; sometimes one of the Alpha pups holds his hand or is simply there to dampen some of the instinctual need for Alpha the way his siblings and parents used to do for Daniel before he was married, and Terry used to do for Amanda when she wasn't married yet.

By the third time, Terry is like "Wut he obviously needs me!!" but Daniel is nearly 48 then and especially Eli (but the others hardly any less) is like, "have at me, old man, I was born for this!!!" and Terry thinks: "I am not getting into a death match with my own pup." Because he'd feel the instinctual need to hold back but his pups have no such reservations.

Daniel goes back to Australia during summer break.

[kinda sad, slight sexual content. A/B/O, Omega Daniel.]

Sometimes Daniel wishes he was an alpha. Not every single day, certainly not often. But since last not so good year it's becoming more and more of a regular thought inside his head. It doesn't help that he's single again; alone again.

When he arrived to the airport with only his light luggage and Michael and Blake next to him, his mom made a sad face. Heidi was supposed to come this year and spend the summer on the farm. That didn't happen.

"There 's no rush." His sister told him, both half drunk with way too expensive wine while washing the dirty dinner plates.

"I'm old as fuck." Daniel said.

It was supposed to be a joke but Michelle didn't laugh.

"You're not old." She said, staring at him. Daniel felt embarrassed, like when he made cheeky remarks on media day and they didn't quite land, so he just shrugged, wanting to change the conversation to something less depressing, but he could see on her face that she wasn't going to let it go that easily. "Don't say that shit, you're not old. And if someone told you that just know that they're bitter cunts. "

He knew she meant it, that Michelle was trying to help him somehow. Maybe it was the seriousness of it all what rubbed him the wrong way; how Michael and Blake and every single "woke" person on the internet wanted to make clear that thirty three year old unmated omegas were not failures.

Daniel knows.

Failure is losing against your younger teammate, failure is switching from team after team to only get lower and lower results. Failure is never winning a World Championship when you could definitely have won if only those people who once promised you all the glory had chosen you instead of replacing you when the next young shiny bright thing came up.

Daniel took the kids horse riding on the fields, ate dinner until he was bloated and drank way more wine than he should drink in front of his parents. They didn't seem to mind, his mom made a cute small nest on his bed while he was out, his dad hugged him and kissed him once they were alone and the kids were fast asleep, Daniel let himself be comforted and touched, he missed this for sure, how good being truly loved can make you feel. His dad didn't say anything or asked him weird questions. Daniel knows his mom probably tells him everything they talk about anyways. She's worried about him, Daniel can tell as she calls him more and more, particularly after disappointed weekends, which are almost every single one nowadays.

It's there when he's lying on his bed, surrounded by familiar scents and feeling warm and dizzy that he pushes one finger inside himself, just wanting to fill some space and clear his mind. He shouldn't be doing this, not when his whole family is basically sleeping down the hall. He can't remember the last time he hid to jerk off, he left home right after his first proper heat, he was the only Omega on his youth team so he had a room all by himself, the wife of his promoter even bought him a heat-kit with lots of fancy stuff that definitely helped him to make the time go by faster. Burying his face deep into the pillow and just working two fingers, looking for that spot that makes his toes curl, Daniel rubs against the bed, there's no need to make noises or fake it, he knows exactly how much he has to push for him to get wet enough that it feels good. It doesn't take that long, and it's mostly nice until the crest of his orgasm ends and there's nothing left. There's no knot to make him feel safe and satisfied, no hands on waist or teeth sinking on his neck. It's just him and his dirty sheets that he didn't think about before doing it this way. Maybe it's the pasta or the wine, maybe it's that he doesn't really cares, but he falls asleep like that, wet fingers gripping the pillow and his soft dick touching the wet spot under him.

Luckily he wakes up earlier than everyone and goes straight to the washing machine, letting it run for a while and then getting bored of waiting.

His mom is already in the kitchen making breakfast, Daniel goes up to her and hugs her, she reaches for his hair and gives him a kiss on the cheek, followed by three more, each one louder than the last. Daniel laughs, a honk sound that fills the room as the smell of the bacon soaks their clothes.

They eat by themselves, Daniel asks her all about the farm and the kids, she tells him every detail. It's good, not have to talk about racing with someone, just have a normal chat that won't end in 'you'll get them soon' or 'just gotta keep your head down'.

"How's Monaco?" She asks, scrapping the grease off her plate with the fork. "Is the new apartment nice? your sister said it is way bigger than the other one."

"it's alright." Daniel says. "I finally have a view of the sea."

"That's lovely." She nods and reaches for his hand and squeezes it, Daniel squeezes back. "I'm glad you like it. It's good, you need somewhere to feel good. Apart from here, of course."

"Mom." Daniel sighs.

"I know, I know." She says. "We just worry so much, your dad and I. We ask Michael but he says the same things that you do."

"Because that's the truth." Daniel mumbles. "I'm fine, I'll figure it out, stop worrying."

"I know you will, we know you will. But, you told me Heidi was coming and then you arrived by yourself. I'm not disappointed or anything but I just wished you had told me before."

It's normal that she worries, Michael told him. It's a good thing. Still, it makes Daniel all kinds of anxious. Knowing he's not only making her loose sleep over his career but also his life. It's kinda pathetic at this point. At first, during the red bull years, it felt like a rebellious and cheeky way of living; breaking the rules of what omegas are supposed to aim for. The team supported this and encouraged him be his own "authentic" self, let him say stupid things and dance around, mock and sort of flirt with the other drivers and make the reporters nervous and squirmy. But now he's not twenty. And he's not in Red Bull either. Now he gets stupid memes made about him, articles written doubting how long he will be able to stand his ground, rumors of what next year may be like in an F1 without Daniel Riccardo.

"It's fine mom, I don't think betas are my thing, it just doesn't hit the same."

She laughs, thankfully, covering her mouth to stop a snort from slipping. It breaks the tension that has been building up between them and Daniel can feel himself relax.

"I won't tell your dad that, then." She whispers. "His pride may never recover."

Daniel chuckles too and kisses her hand, rubbing his nose over her knuckles as she caresses his face with her thumb.

"I can't believe you're eating without us. I could hear you laughing from my room, my God." Michelle groans, walking toward the table with her hair looking a mess and missing a sock. "What is so funny?"

"Nothing." Their mom rushes, standing up to fix her a plate as she gives Daniel a mischievous look.

"I told mom about how you threw up all over the tulips last night. I think they're already dead the poor things. " Daniel says and pokes her cheek. She swats his hand away, annoyed and half drunk with sleep

"Hey, you know how much these fingers are worth?!" Daniel squeals.

Michelle rolls her eyes and kick his shin under the table, Daniel whines from pain and their mom tells them not to fight during breakfast. She growls at him and makes a weird face when he pinches her other cheek.

"I don't care how much they're worth, but I can clearly smell what they've been used for, you freak."

#Omega Daniel #Abo #FicPractice #dr3 #I finally saved enough money for a charger and this is my way to celebrate #It's not that much but I'm a broke college drop out so it's a big deal for me #lots of typos per usual

For the prompt game hehe 7. Silent fury pls 🥺 (your fics are amazing btw <3)

Flufftober Day 8: Silent Fury

max/daniel. 324 words. depressed omega daniel universe.

Max doesn’t understand it. He’s never been depressed. He doesn’t know exactly what Daniel feels, but he knows how it all makes himself feel.

Silent fury.

He’s angry for what happened to Daniel last year. He’s angry that he had to watch his mate wither to skin and bone. He’s rageful for the exhaustion, bone deep, within Daniel. He’s furious that his beloved, funny, loud, energetic, golden omega has been reduced to a shadow of his former self.

He wants to put his fist in Zak Brown’s face and force him to look at Daniel and what the last year did to him.

Max loves Daniel still, anyway. Daniel can be sad, and exhausted, and withdrawn, and Max loves him anyway.

He has to have faith that Daniel will be okay; that the Daniel he fell in love with will return from this ever-present battle against himself.

That one day he’ll come home to the sound of Daniel’s bad singing in the kitchen, or he’ll want to go running with Max and Brad and Michael again, or he’ll look forward to going out for dinner like they used to.

Maybe one day he and Michael won’t be conspiring behind Daniel’s back to make sure he eats something. Possibly some day he won’t be literally forcing Daniel to get out of his depression nest and into the shower. Perhaps sometime Daniel will feel like coming with Max to a race and being in the Paddock.

Eventually, on the grid in Red Bulls together.

Max sighs as he watches his mate sleep, reaches out to card his fingers through Daniel’s dark curls. He has to have faith, and moreso, patience. He knows Daniel is trying his best. He knows Daniel’s giving everything he’s got. He knows he needs to be patient and supportive and encouraging.

It’s hard, though, watching his mate go through this. He’s got to be strong for Daniel. For them.

But it’s hard.

Hello readers,

Ever since The Mandalorian, I’ve been excited and passionate about all new Star Wars content (aside from the sequel movies of course). But in recent months, I’ve really gotten into the animated shows of Star Wars, specifically Clone Wars, Rebels and Bad Batch. (and I cannot wait for Tales of the Jedi!). I’ve just finished my 3rd re-watch of Star Wars The Bad Batch and feel that while I praise the show and it’s story, upon re-watching, I can’t help but notice the flaws that I’d like to discuss because no show is perfect. I’ll also be making comparisons to other animated shows that I feel The Bad Batch can benefit learning from.

Warning—Long post, Contains spoilers for The Bad Batch, Clone Wars, Book of Boba, Avatar the Last Airbender, and Arcane the following analysis (/review?) is purely opinion based and my own ideas/thoughts about the shows aren’t canon or confirmed by anyone. Contains talk of mental illness including depression, anxiety, abandonment and hallucinations, so anyone who might feel uncomfortable with such topics should stop reading. Any mention of mental illness is my own interpretation and based on my own experience being diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and OCD.

*I recognize and understand that both the Bad Batch and Arcane only have 1 season (with a 2nd season confirmed for both) out as of writing this post so I know my views and opinions will change as more content is created*

In short, the Bad Batch is about a group of genetically enhanced soldiers in the Grand Army of the Republic, which no longer exists, thanks to Order 66, called Clone Force 99. The enhanced soldiers find themselves divided when one member, Crosshair, still sides with the evil Empire. CF99’s Sergeant Hunter and the rest of the squad find themselves responsible for the young Omega, the only female clone of Jango Fett. After learning she is like Fett’s son, Boba—an unaltered clone, the remaining squad members vow to protect her from various bounty hunters, their fallen brother Crosshair and the rapidly changing galaxy thanks to the fall of the Republic.

The story of the Bad Batch comes to a head when Hunter is captured and the Empire destroys the cloning facility on Kamino, and finally, Crosshair deciding to stay with the Empire. The story is one of the things I cannot improve much, if anything at all upon, as I like it the way it is. I love the setting, starting with Order 66. The animation is stunning like The Clone Wars Season 7 quality and the music is beautiful (though the last CW S7 4-episode finale music is the best imo). Special clones and a young unaltered female clone is a nice take on the classic Star Wars trope of reluctant adoptive fathers meeting their space child.

Like many have pointed out, I agree that the Bad Batch have been severely whitewashed. The clone template, Jango Fett is played by Temuera Morrison, Brodie Taylor and Daniel Logan are all New Zealand actors and have dark tan skin, dark brown eyes and thick, wavy/almost curly hair and wide, rounded features. No one is white! Despite the age differences, all 3 actors share the skin tone, wavy dark hair and soft, rounded features.

Here are what animated clones looks like

While the clones don’t look too bad, these are considered regular clones, or ‘regs’. These are Echo (L) and Fives (R) (I believe from S3 of Clone Wars specifically) and while they have their tan complexion, the skin could use a bit of pink just to make the skin look fleshier. The lips are a bit too pointed, eyes a bit too angular and the jawline is clearly sharp and pronounced. Even the haircut is modeled after a buzz cut of straight hair. A curly buzz cut wouldn’t be flat on top and would have a bit of texture.

Now here is the Bad Batch.

None of these clones remotely resembles Temuera Morrison, who I’m using as my main actor for comparison. Starting with Hunter, you can easily see his straight jawline and his hair, while long, would be wavier and have more texture. His complexion is a lighter, orangier color, making him look white, especially while in a sterile, bright place like Tipoca City. His nose is thinner than Echo’s, who believe it or not, is the clone to Hunter’s left. Echo, what even is your skin complexion? Even through torture and complete lack of sunlight, Echo’s skin would still retain a natural hint of tan. This man looks pale as a ghost. Tech looks like he has a touch of jaundice or something, especially compared to Hunter or Wrecker and I don’t even know what his hairline is unless he cut it himself. Then there’s Crosshair, the thinnest, lankiest out of them. I understand it’s a design choice. Each member looks a certain way because of their genetic enhancement, but Cross doesn’t even resemble Temuera Morrison or a Māori man at all. Everything about his features are designed to be slim and thin, which could be achieved had he also not looked so angular. Round out the edges especially around his nose, jaw and change the skin tone (because his skin tone is a bit like Tech’s). And lastly, Wrecker, while still a bit on the lighter side, has skin that’s darker overall compared to the other members of the Bad Batch and has the wide, rounded features. But that’s where my next point comes in.

That was only their physical attributes. Next I’ll get into their characters, starting with Wrecker. While he may resemble Temuera Morrison the most out of everyone, he is assigned the role of the ‘dumb brute’ with the child-like personality, which isn’t a great message to send. Tech being the typical brilliant but socially inept character really would’ve been fine had his accent not been that of a British person’s. Echo’s PTSD from the trauma and torture he endured is completely sidelined by Hunter and Omega’s relationship and the group also have a hard time listening to his completely valid reasons for not wanting to help a Separatist. Echo is the ‘reg’ of the group and for him to be treated as lesser by the rest of CF99, plays right into Crosshair’s mentality of being being superior to the regs. Crosshair believes he and his brothers are superior to the regular clones due to their mutations and even outright says it! Even during my first watch, that line didn’t sit well with me. Lastly is Hunter and while he’s supposed to be the leader of his squad and protect everyone, he often puts his life, the lives of his brothers and even Omega’s life, in danger in order to please her. I’d also like to point out that the VA for all clones is Dee Bradley Baker, a talented, white man tasked with voicing all clones in the animated series. Omega sounds a lot different than CF99 because her VA is from New Zealand like the actors in the live action movies. She sounds a lot like Daniel Logan, which is nice, but her voice still sounded off to me. I googled her and saw the VA, Michelle Ang, is in her 30’s!

I deliberately have kept from talking about Omega to separate her from the Batch so I can talk about her as her own character. Here is Omega and a group of clone cadets for comparison. As you can see, her design isn’t too bad aside from the skin tone, and her nose is a bit too pointy at the tip. I don’t mind the blond of her hair too much, especially since one of the cadets below and Captain Rex have blond hair, but would’ve preferred it if she had dark brown hair like Daniel Logan (since they decided with the light skin tone).

Now Omega as a character I think could definitely be improved upon. Now to start, I’d like to say that my own headcanon is that Omega is 11. That’s important because a lot of shows write children as mini adults and, sometimes, it shows. I understand that children are annoying and can come off as unlikeable, but I think that’s the point, especially with Star Wars. Dave Filoni has a track record for creating unlikeable youngsters and having them grow over time, with Ahsoka being the most famous example and Ezra Bridger a close 2nd.

Filoni also worked on Avatar the Last Airbender, the best kids show there is. Both shows tackle mature themes of brainwashing/manipulation, genocide and war. I think one of the best developed characters is Sokka, who along with Zuko, has the most character growth. Sokka starts off as a sexist egotistical goofball that was comedic relief. But already by the 3rd and 4th episodes, Sokka is shown to be caring and apologetic when he realizes his wrongdoings. Omega doesn’t change much from the first episode aside from being less sheltered and more confident. The one lesson that she never seemed to learn was that you can’t always save everyone so, in the finale, saving AZ felt like a let down. It would’ve been great character growth for Omega to learn that not everyone can be saved, especially since she pressures Hunter into doing what she thinks is right. At this time, I’d like to point out that the VA in AtLA, during the time of recording, were children/young adults and able to pass as children. Michelle Ang being in her 30’s is quite obviously an adult. It makes the show much more believable and real with age-appropriate VA’s. I realize that Ashley Eckstein, Ahsoka Tano’s VA, is also an adult, but I feel she is better casted, because having an adult voice a child in animation isn’t uncommon and can be pulled off successfully (Bart Simpson, Ash Ketchum, Grey DeLisle roster of characters).

Omega is a young girl, who, deep down, is afraid of being abandoned and left behind as well as being part of the Kaminoan’s experiments. I’d like to bring up another young girl who’s afraid of being abandoned, left and replaced. Powder from Netflix’s Arcane. I’ll be using Powder as my main example of how a good child character can be a great child character.

I assume Powder to be around 4 or 5 at the very beginning of Arcane where we see her walking with Vi, her older sister, and see that their parents are dead, and about 9 or 10 during Act 1 and during the accidental explosion. Omega is 11, which isn’t far off from 9 and both girls are afraid of being abandoned and left behind by the ones they feel attached to. Now that’s definitely a theme within both shows, but Arcane does a better job of showing it, perhaps because it’s portrayed as a mental illness, especially in one of the youngest characters in the show.

Powder is shown, early on, to have a close and deep attachment to her older sister/protector, Vi. Omega is shown to have an attachment/relationship with the Kaminoan scientist, Nala Se and to CF99. Omega wears a gray headpiece that is identical to the one Nala Se wears, along with her clothes being similarly colored. While Nala Se appears protective over Omega by keeping Omega’s interactions with others brief to nonexistent, she actually helps the young clone escape with CF99 and even hires Fennec Shand to protect the girl from Lama Su, the Kaminoan Prime Minister. After reuniting with CF99 in the 1st episode, Omega is eager to prove her worth to the squad and join them, since it’s revealed in the finale that Omega knew the squad when they were being created (and is technically older than the squad-maybe not Echo though). Like Omega, Powder is eager to prove herself to Vi and their adopted brothers Mylo and Claggor, being the youngest, most inexperienced of the group.

Omega is shown to be afraid of being abandoned and gets upset when Hunter gets angry with her, as shown in episode 2 Cut and Run. Omega’s inexperience nearly gets the young girl killed by a Nexu (Nexxu?) Hunter yells at her briefly which causes her to cry once Cut takes her back to the ship. Omega is also shown crying when the Batch rescue her from Bane and Shand in episode 9 Bounty Lost, and upset right when Hunter missed his jump, getting captured in episode 14 War Mantel. Omega’s emotions are toned down and subtle with shiny wet eyes, and a wet sniffle being the main indicators of the young clone’s emotions. Because of her inexperience and her age, Omega would be terrified and show more emotion or have the emotions she does show be more intense. Which brings me to Powder, specifically in the heart wrenching episode 3 The Base Violence Necessary for Change. Powder is told to stay behind from Vi while their adopted brothers and Vi go rescue their adopted father. Powder, clearly upset, lets a single tear slip down her cheek in the presence of her older sister and the others, but after the siblings leave the young girl alone, she mentally spirals in their room. Powder’s crying is much different from Omega’s. Powder wails and lets her eyes and nose stream, not caring about the small bits of drool coming out of her mouth as she rips apart her monkey toy before launching it as hard as she can, screaming once before curling in on herself and hitting her own head. That is much more indicative of a mental breakdown than a tantrum a child would throw. Powder threw her arms back and screamed again before clawing at her face and hitting her head a bit more before finding the box she kept the hexgems in and slamming the box on the ground. The crystals tumbled out, creating blue sparks of energy, reminding Powder of the day she took them and the explosion that happened seemingly out of nowhere.

I know what most of you are going to say at this point. TBB is a kids show with a rating of TV-PG (which is for kids 7/8 and up) and Arcane is TV-14, which means the material/content in Arcane might not be suitable for kids under 14. I believe, however, that the older age rating in Arcane is mostly for the depiction of Shimmer (drug abuse), violence, the brothel scene, that one sex scene with Jayce and Mel while Viktor dies :/ (ep5?) and the bathroom scene with Mel’s mom (ep8 I think). I know Jinx’s hallucinations are extreme and severe, but I believe, as Powder, the emotional range would’ve been acceptable in a TV-PG show. I’ve experienced the kind of mental breakdowns Powder would have at 7-8, the first one being when my parents divorced. I clawed my face so hard I have a scar on my forehead that never went away, ripped out chunks of my hair and destroyed my room. But, like Powder, I was alone when it happened. No one ever knew. The only depiction of mental illness I saw at the time was Azula’s decline in Avatar the Last Airbender, and Star Wars’ Revenge of the Sith with Anakin turning to the Dark Side, and at the time, I was too young to really understand why Azula was acting the way she was. And I was definitely too young to watch my hero, Anakin get burned alive. So to see a young character like Powder go through such mental anguish, it brought up lots of feelings of my own trauma, while watching Omega, I couldn’t really relate to because my emotions have always been intense like Powder’s. Another fact I should point out is that Omega’s VA is in her 30’s while Powder’s VA, Mia Sinclair Jenness was 10-11 at the time of recording, which also makes the character more believable.

I’d also like to point out that both girls have skills that go unused (for a time at least), and both girls aren’t naturally good at what they like/prefer doing. Omega is great at strategy with the holochess game she used to pay Cid back, but she prefers to use her Zyggerian electrobow. While the first shot she took in ep1 hit Crosshair’s blaster, she is shown to not be a good shot, having only hit her target 3 out of 12 times. She works and trains over time to get better at it and her progress grows. Powder is actually a great shot, but because of her age (and location probably), she isn’t given a gun, despite being able to outshoot Mylo, the brother that often makes fun of her. However, Powder’s main interest is her explosives/inventions. She builds all sorts of homemade bombs for protection but none seem to work, until the accidental explosion she caused. It’s clear after the timeskip, Powder, now known as Jinx, has perfected her grenades and bombs, but because of her unhinged mental state, she isn’t subtle with them, which is where we get into the TV-14 area. I believe all depictions of Powder and her mental state would’ve been ok to show in a show like Bad Batch, given that we already know that it’s predecessor show, Clone Wars, definitely crossed the line a few times for a TV-PG show (much like AtLA and it’s successor the Legend of Korra).

I understand the creative team behind TBB and Dave Filoni are trying to take their time and build up the characters over time, so I’m sure my opinion on Omega will change, especially now that we’ve got an official Season 2 trailer. But there were some choices I believe that could’ve been made to make the first season much better. In short, the whitewashing should’ve been addressed properly (especially since the Batch, including Omega, has gotten new armor/clothes) and changed appropriately, and I think whoever’s in charge of casting should’ve chosen someone else, more age appropriate for Omega. Baker is ok but could’ve been cast better to begin with, and because he’s already established as the voice of the clones from CW, it makes sense to keep him on. And the animation/writers should’ve gone more intense with Omega’s emotions given her inexperience and age.

Hopes for S2, having seen the trailer…

I definitely see Cody and Crosshair meeting up again with Rex and the Batch and perhaps a showdown with Cody and Rex (please don’t let Cody die!). The boy Omega says ‘let’s go’ to appears to be an older Pietro (Pedro? don’t really remember the name) and we briefly see Gungi and another Wookie, which makes me believe we will see the group padawans from the Hondo/padawan arc and possibly Kashyyyk. I can’t even guess as to why Omega watches Palpatine on what appears to be Coruscant? But it definitely has to do with Nala Se and the scene we saw at the end of the finale. I hope we see Boba again. It would make his whole situation with Fennec in BoBF less awkward if he already knew of Omega’s existence, especially since we see Bane again. I don’t think he’d be thrilled at seeing Omega, another unaltered Jango clone, who looks nothing like his father. Kind of like a reverse Luke/Leia. While they seemed happy to find out they were twins/siblings, I’d like to see Boba hate the idea of a twin, since she’s as close to a twin as it gets, despite the age difference.

I’d like a flashback of Omega’s creation. I think we have a lot of unexplored potential with Jango and Boba’s early days on Kamino and how Jango actually felt about the war and his situation in particular. Does Jango know about Omega? If he did, did he consent to her creation? My own personal headcanon is that she was created after Jango was killed by Master Windu because the Kaminoans have realized that Jango’s DNA is deteriorating. Realizing they’ll need another source of pure genetic Fett DNA, the Kaminoans create Omega as a backup in case something should happen to Boba, aka ‘Alpha’ (which is lucky since the Kaminoans lose him at the start of the Clone War). So even with Boba seemingly gone or assumed dead by the Kaminoans, they still have access to pure Fett DNA through Omega. This is just my own headcanon and isn’t confirmed, just thought it was a cool idea.

I’d like to see actual consequences for Omega’s actions. I can’t get over how let down I was when she saved the droid. I mean I hope the route they choose is that AZ recovers memories of Fives and Echo properly grieves or something, but the save felt like a cop out. Even Ahsoka learns that lesson in season 1 of CW where she looses her whole squad by not following Anakin’s orders. After everything that the Clone Wars show set up, I felt a little let down by how…watered down things seemed with the Batch, so I hope season 2 will find its footing with an actual story instead of the typical Saturday morning cartoon plot of a job for Cid gone wrong. I have high hopes for s2 but based off everything in s1 and all the #unwhitewashthebadbatch content there is, I’m definitely conflicted about s2.

Anyways…those are just kind of my main points about The Bad Batch so far. Anyone still reading, thank you and I hope I gave you something to think about. I’ll be back with more fics real soon :)
