I’ve seen more and more people, Australian and not, pushing back on this the past couple of years, and I think most of my followers already know it, but since I just ran into it, it seemed worth mentioning: generally, if you’re discussing alpha/beta/omega tropes or fic or dynamics, it’s best to either write it out fully, as alpha/beta/omega, or call it omegaverse. or A/O, or A/O/B, or…almost anything else, really. the commonly-used abbreviation/acronym for “alpha/beta/omega” is a very offensive racist slur in Australia. (yes, even when you put slashes between the letters — that makes it clearer that you’re using it in the fannish context, not as a racist slur, but it doesn’t really obscure the word itself. I know for me, if a new AU concept took the world by storm, a criminal AU where the possible roles were, say, killer/investigator/kidnapper/executioner, slashes between the letters of the abbreviation wouldn’t actually help hide the antisemitic slur or make me feel much more comfortable with it, and I think a lot of us would not be thrilled if it were slurs we’re more familiar with!)

I’ve been seeing “omegaverse” used a lot more recently, and heard more people mentioning it in general, so I think this is catching on. but I just opened a silly little uquiz and then immediately closed it because the very first question used the abbreviation, so for people who might not have heard this yet, now you know!

people who don't like Wyll, how does it feel to be the weakest link when this man just:

Realised as soon as possible he had been tricked about Karlach and changed her mind about her, to the point of risking his own life and becoming what he thinks is the worst version of himself just to save her, because she is an underdog

Is kind, is funny and says dramatic things like "the Blade stands at the ready". if you like Gale, you don't get to use the excuse that speaking about oneself in third person is annoying btw

A character that clings to hope and fairytales in hopes he is good enough to the eyes of the people, because he thinks he was not good enough for his father given he gave up the life he had planned for him should score him so high up. SO HIGH UP

literally became a demon because he undertook a pact with a demon, thinking nothing too terrible could come out of it. King, the hubris. King, the dumbass???

Says things like "Gale slurped that thing like a horse with a carrot"

#jules.txt #bg3 #wyll ravengard #you do you ig quiet part outloud aside #bc honestly? the double standard #how are people not going insane for a guy who risked EVERYTHING to save a person he had just met and whom for the better part of him being #aware of her hated before a random person he met made him realise he was wrong about her

weird al is bar none one of the single most talented musicians of the past fifty years. this is not a joke. his parodies span a wide range of genres and his original compositions range from deceptively simple to incredibly complex. his grasp of musical composition and theory is absolutely unparalleled.

a good example of this is the fact none of his parodies use pre-recorded instrumentals from the original songs. he transcribes the song BY EAR and then re-records it with his band. he literally reverse engineers music to parody it. i can’t even read music much less transcribe a song by ear.

tl;dr weird al is unironically, unequivocally one of if not the most skilled musicians to ever exist and people do not appreciate him enough

i love the silent hill ascension saga like you cannot make this shit up

konami releases a choose your own adventure style silent hill game that lets people spend currency to influence the choices the community as a whole has to make in the story, and it's not only terrible but also TECHNICALLY allows someone with a lot of money to buy a ton of currency and decide the directory of the story COMPLETELY by themselves

konami also decided it was a great idea to add a live chat with zero moderation leading to amazing usernames such as "cumsl*t", people asking for pyramid head dick pics, and a twitch streamer mobilizing their community to flood the chat with the message "hideo kojima's cummy in my tummy."

konami then eventually reacts with the most incredible moderation tools that now make it impossible to type "hideo kojima" but somehow still enable you to drop the n-word with zero consequences. absolutely amazing you can't make this shit up

unintentional subtext is not queerbaiting. intentional subtext is not queerbaiting. queercoding is not queerbaiting. queer themes are not queerbaiting. queer themes in works by cishet creators are still not queerbaiting. writers of any gender identity/sexual orientation seeing fans pick up on queer themes and intentionally playing up those themes as much as they can get away with are not queerbaiting. chemistry between actors is not queerbaiting. chemistry between actors who then decide it’s more interesting that way and lean into it is not queerbaiting. a real cishet person behaving in ways that do not perfectly and completely fit with your idea of what cishet people of their gender are supposed to be is not queerbaiting. I am going to scream

#this post is dedicated to the star trek posts I have had to see with my own two eyes calling garashir (!) and kirk/spock (!!!!) queerbaiting #and to the people in spn fandom who reinvented gender essentialism when misha collins said he was straight by accusing him #of having spent 10+ years queerbaiting i.e. not conforming to their highly circumscribed mental image of heterosexual masculinity #I know I am far from the first person to complain about how we should have the word 'queerbaiting' taken away #until we learn how to use it responsibly but oh my godddddddd it's so annoying #jules.txt

do you ever think about how dean was the only member of tfw who didn’t have any kind of one-on-one confrontation with the empty in the final season. it’s almost. well it’s almost like something is missing. like an absence that draws attention to itself. by the end supernatural was the “if a tree fell in the forest and dean winchester wasn’t there to hear it did it actually fall? the answer is no” show. it was the dean winchester show to an extent that many would argue actually hurt the show. nothing could happen unless dean winchester witnessed it or participated in it or approved of it. and yet. in the final season. jack interacts with the entity. cas interacts with the entity. sam interacts with the entity. only one member of the team does not. how do they forget to do that. how do they overlook that. well maybe they didn’t. do you understand. do you get what I’m saying.

ngl, I am yet to read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, and watch the adaptation, but one thing that's popping out to me is the amount of people I've seen who assuming that, because Katniss knows the Hanging Tree song, she must be related to Lucy Gray, almost entirely forgetting the source material and its author.

because there are no chosen ones in The Huger Games. Never have been. There are a lot of elements that border on magical realism/the supernatural in the novels, from the character perspectives, but there is no predestination: it is all choice. Katniss isn't special because she's related to someone, she's special because of what she chooses and what that means in the context she's in.

if Suzanne Collins did one thing is write a web of social constellations and memory in constant conversation with the present. It doesn't matter if Katniss is or not related to anyone in TBOSAS. what matters is oral tradition and folk culture of the districts, specially D12 and within that district, The Seam, cannot be controlled. that it exists regardless of Capitol control. that it will always exist regardless of Capitol control. it is in direct conversation with the irl experiences of BIPOC in Appalachia and the working class in Appalachia (and in many places of the world by similarity of irl circumstances due to colonisation and class struggle alone) who have rich oral traditions that constitute an important part of USAmerican Folk, but exist on its own right.

you could interpret it as them being related, sure. nothing stops you: it could be just a hc, it could be analysis with more or less textual evidence, that's up to you. but as people in fandom or who engage with the world of THG we shouldn't ignore this reading bc it's so, so blatant. it is right there. in the end, one of the greatest tools these characters had to overthrow, cheat and avoid the Capitol was the existence of a second history, a local, working class, brown kind of history that in real life and for the characters is taken as non-existent and not valuable for the people in power.

and because it is not of importance, because those people think the people they oppress are barely human and therefore incapable of "actual" culture, it creates a massive blind-spot. these people have the audacity to keep existing. believe me the reason why Katniss knows those songs is because the Seam had the audacity to keep singing — not because it was capital P political, or capital R Resisting. but simply because they existed, against all odds. they lived, against all attempts to exterminate them.

there will still be singing, in the dark times. Suzanne Collins knows that.

#tbosas #thg #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #txt #lit analysis #jules.txt #suzanne collins #again i haven't read it Yet but knowing the author and the main trilogy and having read that several times I am absolutely willing to bet #my analysis is not very far off and has legit textual support #also it's unsurprising that at least in video based platforms like instagram or tiktok the people talking about it are white #about it: how they Have to be related #also somewhere in this site is the post that compares Katniss' to Snow and that post.

Under the Cover of Darkness is such a good song bc Jules just kinda yells "are you ok" in your ears and you have to realize that you're not ok but it's also ok bc the songs a bop.
