what drives you most insane about omegaverse? i'm here for the tea
oh, it's a convergence of a bunch of things. the main reason i avoid it has more to do with a bunch of dislikes (ranging from "annoyance" to "squick") revolving around tropes that apply dog/wolf traits to people (or anthropomorphizing dogs/wolves) than the fact that it's basically dubcon/noncon central (although that point.... is also a contributing factor).
also it's ESPECIALLY bad speculative biology. like i'm pretty sure the alt bio is just for kink for most people, which is fine, but i keep running into "worldbuilding meta" via spec bio rabbit holes and through that lens it just pisses me off. there are SO many interesting mating systems out there and you want to be boring? trying harder, smh. oh, plus it leans into bioessentialism in a way i find infuriating as both a biologist and as a person

After reading Julia's fabulous Honest Drew Crew Endings post, I literally can't stop thinking about it. It's the way that their endings were not only empty shells without any real significance tailored to their characters, but were in fact EXACT CONTRADICTIONS to the growth arcs that were set up for them in the first place.
Nancy Drew themes: Self-acceptance. The lynchpin to Nancy's development has always been about overcoming her demons, accepting shortcomings, and learning that she is not inherently a bad person and is in fact worthy of love and good things. Nancy Drew ending: Her soul is intrinsically linked to a horrendous murderer and oppressor of the town, something that shakes her so violently she has to leave Horseshoe Bay to find any sort of peace; the town where she recently decided to put down roots, to "grow where she's been planted".
Ace Hardy themes: Finding family. As a loner, Ace always longed for a community where he felt he truly belonged, which he canonically found with the Drew Crew. These friendships fueled his drive, self-esteem, and gave him purpose. Ace Hardy ending: His friends are all too caught up in their own lives to spend time with him anymore, so he dives headfirst into an isolating career in medical examination that drives him even further away from everyone. Oh, but also, they're all splitting apart anyway so who cares.
George Fan themes: Breaking the cycle. An absent father and deadbeat mother forced George to work hard to provide for her sisters, which also closed her off from forming deep emotional connections for many years. George Fan ending: George leaves her sisters behind to pursue an exhaustive, difficult career path on a whim. She ends the series in a new surface-level relationship rather than one that helped her open up and be vulnerable.
Bess Turani-Marvin themes: Creating a happy life. Bess arrived in Horseshoe Bay to connect with family and escape from an empty, traumatizing life on the run. She seeks joy and stability; somewhere she can finally call home. Bess Turani-Marvin ending: Bess randomly loses her room at the Drew home (?), her entire found family leaves her after less than a year together, oh yeah and her fucking HOUSE BURNS DOWN.
Ned Nickerson themes: Building community. He wants to improve things in his new town, now that he's proclaimed he's finally found where he belongs after a troubled adolescence. Ned Nickerson ending: Nick's several attempts to make a difference (buying The Claw, starting a youth center, running for council) all go nowhere. His efforts are a flop. He essentially gives up and takes a job with Tom Swift instead (career choice is consistent for him, at least).
Absolute insanity.

I try to keep things positive around here. I have a strong policy of focusing on what I like and ignoring what I don't. Not everything is going to be to my taste. That said. Every time I see the "Anastasia is the Body" theory I just. I hate it. It doesn't hold together imo, and it eviscerates a lot of the central themes of Harrow the Ninth, but also I really hate the incest. Harrow and Anastasia are blood related by direct descent. Harrow was literally born to continue Anastasia's bloodline. She's introduced as the "grandmother of the Ninth," and Harrow is the Ninth.
Just. Every time the theory comes up I see Harrow creeping into her great-grandmother's tomb and. You know. Trying to fuck her granny's ghost. I can't. I'm not strong enough.

Everybody learn a little bit of spite and malice pls
I'm tired of online shops and such trying to guilt you into staying on their email list, not deleting your accounts with them, or even just straight up not giving them your money or contact information and I'm excited for them to realize that it's annoying and shitty and doesn't work and they should be embarrassed for being so shameless in their 'marketing'
"🥺🥺🥺 we'll be really sad if you go 👉🏼👈🏼 and so will our little baby puppy dog! Do you Really want to make him Cry??"
The dog has no emotional attachment to me being on your mailing list. Stop lying to me.
"Give us your email for a FREE GIFT!!!! :)))))))
[ ]Email: <- PUT UR EMAIL HERE! :) We love you and we are your friends. We are excited to send you advertisments friendly emails!
[x] No thanks. I'm UGLY and MEAN and I HATE FREE GIFTS! I am literally the Most ungrateful person to walk this Earth.
Why are you going out of your way to put words in my mouth? :/ This is false, I love free stuff. The stuff your offering isn't free,, this is just inherently untrue in every way. Please stop trying to manipulate me my wallet is empty you look like a dog who's sitting in the kitchen with me as I cook, drooling and begging for whatever is in my pot and you have no idea that I am literally just boiling water for my dinner of water soup and rice. Like leave me alone and go cry and snot and scream and dry heave in a closet somewhere away from me

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.
Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

I think I've pinpointed the main reason I'm so viscerally unhappy with the direction the writers chose to go in with Nace -- obviously this is just my opinion, so any use of objective terms like "supposed to be", etc is not meant to be taken literally. It's just me airing out my takes on the storytelling.
For me, one of the most appealing things about Nace is how they juxtapose all of Nancy's other romantic endeavors. From the beginning, it's been different with Ace. He isn't a fast-moving hookup or a form of escapism. He gradually grows into the role of a best friend, a partner, someone she is emotionally open with, and the person who can keep her steady when shit hits the fan. Ace's presence encourages Nancy to embrace love (especially self-love) rather than facilitating her urge to push it away.
I associate Nick and Owen, Nancy's season 1 ships -- which ideally would establish a starting point for her -- with Nancy resigning to choices or circumstances that are out of her control, and having to move on from something she really wanted to make work. Both of these relationships were ripped from her grasp, thus leading to pain and reinforcing her belief that she isn't deserving of That Kind of love.
Do you see where I'm going with this?
Season 4 has essentially applied these negative season 1 traits to Nancy/Ace, her supposed endgame, with the curse and how it has torn them apart. I've always believed her endgame should break down these patterns entirely, not slap a new coat of paint on them. The idea is for Nancy to learn that true love doesn't HAVE to be painful, that love shouldn't break your spirit. Not when it's the right person. There's no real reason to be rehashing angst and hopelessness and rebounds this late in the game -- not with Ace, who is narratively recognized as The One. This should be the relationship for Nancy that symbolizes joy and the warmth of falling for a friend. It should feel cozy and stable. Why would we want to validate Nancy's belief that great love must come with great suffering? I've always loved Nace for the themes of growth that it reflects in Nancy's character -- that she is learning what real love feels like, that she is embracing her most authentic self, that she has moved away from the closed-off girl we met at the start who used relationships as a distraction from her pain.
Ace is supposed to represent comfort, security, and a safe haven from the strife that surrounds Nancy's life... yet now he is the central cause of her strife. I don't want her to be miserable because of whatever is going on with Ace. I want Ace to be her solace from whatever else is making her miserable! That's how this relationship was built to function!!! That was the entire point!!!!!
I can't help but feel like this star-crossed drama sours their connection a little, when I ship them specifically for the way Ace has always been an anomaly for her; someone with whom she could let her guard down and communicate freely due to the harmonious undercurrent between them. Now they can't make it through (1) conversation without 'breaking up' or stabbing each other in the heart. It's exhausting. It's counterintuitive to everything I love about them. I don't expect a relationship without its bumps in the road, but their arc is so dramatic and heightened now, it's like the writers have disregarded why these two worked so well together in the first place.
All I ever wanted was a sweet little slowburn coworkers-to-besties-to-lovers arc where they both surprise themselves by falling for each other 💐 of course I'm still rooting for them to end up together, but it hurts to know that what was once my #1 currently-airing OTP is barely even a shell of what I hoped it would be.
