All I got to say is this. Kinks are very strange some times

[@twitterforandriod1560]

Yeah......I have seen a lot of hair pulling kink with your avatar in them. With him being bottom or top I would say it greater with bottom but there are a lot of Top former red paladin usually if that is the case it's the current red paladin who goes bottom.

[@twitterforandriod1560]

But my favorite kink are mating cycles/in heat. I just love how they need to have sexual actions. And sometimes Have one person coitus because they need to.

honestly omegaverse is more of a guilty pleasure of mine omg but i always thought it was an interesting concept. tbh i even drafted a story based of omegaverse in a battered omega's shelter? it was just an fascinating set of rules to write for

[@spellwisp]

oh yeah! and i always didnt like the exclusion of women either so any a/b/o that i did tended to build them back into the lore.

Alpha females need more love. I have been able to dig up a few good stories by being very broad in my searches. Seems like every fandom has a tiny handful of maybe 2 to 6 stories in which a powerful female character is an alpha. Peggy Carter and Sherlock's Irene Adler are sort of obvious choices. I've seen a few others, but not many. As much as I love my boy-slash too, I'd give a kidney for lots more of the alpha female trope!

[@katherinemorelle7115]

MsFenriss I've seen one Alpha Charlie from Supernatural, though not the focus of the fic. I'd love to read more female focused ABO though- I got into it through Destiel.

[@KowaiZuzu]

My biggest issue with omegaverse fics is the pregnancy aspect. I've never liked any pregnancy based fics and the omegaverse is just filled to the brim with pregnancy subplots so I usually avoid it.

[@srivers1505]

Same. I actually have trouble reading any fic that incorporates the main characters having kids because the ones I have read have always had very annoying, cutesy kids who overtake the entire story and/or who get in the way of me being able to enjoy the romantic/sexual relationship that I'm reading the story for. Plus I will never understand the attraction of a pregnant male character.

[@maddiesenpainotice9991]

S Rivers I get people want couples they like to have a child together since they wanna see their characters mix together like a fusion. But yeah it over take it making it the main thing.

[@jackphoto8816]

I honestly love omegaverse very much, it gives a more creative atmosphere for the author to bend some rules without the actual character losing their personalities but my only problem has been how omegas are usually treated or portrayed. They are mostly treated as livestock, prizes, or toys. Even when the scent is not effecting the alpha in fanfics, the alpha typically don't give the omega any type of choice like if they are actually ready to get pregnant or be given the rights or respect of any other of the classes (Alpha, beta). Because of the omegas pheromones that attract alphas in their world they are seen as "easy targets" makes them seem weak and below society. Most of the plot occurs when an omega refuses, forgets or runs out of their medicine when in heat, it's an au that mostly relies on an alpha being in the wrong place and the wrong time so they can smell the omega when nearby and lose control. Alphas usually have a hard time controlling themselves when this happens and most the time don't regret it much afterwards or do not apologize to the omega. This bothers me sometimes when reading but hey that's just me.

[@cooldudealex28]

*C O N S E N T*

[@hiraunia]

So true

[@poke-talia268]

Make the omegas the standard leaders of the society's governments (Not all have to be this way. A mix, but majority) since they won't suddenly rush to war (if incorporating the aggressive alpha aspect) That would lead to more serious consequences for the consent issues of this trope. IDK. I usually stay away from it.

[@lyannastarkweather]

I’ve been aware of A/B/O verse for almost the whole time I’ve been involved in fandom. I had no idea it was so young. I thought it happened earlier in SPN fandom. I would read some in the early days, but there are certain fandoms where I have learned to avoid these fics. In those fandoms, it seems as if the A/B/O roles are almost always assigned according to gay stereotypes of tops and bottoms. It just gets too entrenched in those stereotypes to be enjoyable to me. Tack on the fact that cis men can get pregnant, it reads to closely to a feminization of gay, bi or pan men.

[@TheAnnylove17]

lyannastarkweather i thought that the ABO starts in the yaoi, not in the slash 😂😂😂😂😂

[@kitsatious]

Most people would be surprise at how young the AU. I remember about six years ago I stumbled across one of these fics and found the dynamic quite fascinating and wanting to know more about it. During this time I decided to take to google and search for the AU. I found nothing. Today you can search and tons of art and sites will come up explaining or containing the AU. It's kind of terrifying to see in such a short time something becoming so popular.

[@SeymourDisapproves]

lyannastarkweather I feel the same way, bud.

[@leila_de_hautjardin]

You're completly right. Omegaverse novels/fanfic that aren't heavily heteronormative are almost non existent. However I do found a few ones that are excellent and use this universe to criticize the sexism in our world without assigning gender stereotypes to their characters.

Well that was...weirder than I expected. Okay then. On another note, I would love to see a vid about how female characters are treated in fic in general. Because, yeah, I've seen more than my fair share not so great treatment of women in fanfic, especially in maleship dominated fandoms. Question: What do you think the ratio of of male and female fanfic writers are? I know male writers aren't the majority, but I don't know if they're super rare like a lot of people say they are.

[@mollytaylor2122]

I'm actually really surprised by the statistics, considering the first Alpha/Omega fic I ever saw was Azula/Ty Lee.

[@MsFenriss]

I'm really interested in this too. I've sort of been making a study of alpha females in A/B/O stories, and they are so rare!

[@bonsha8784]

I know I've seen a few in Legend of Korra, so you could try there

[@IceFireofVoid]

I feel like a majority of fanfiction authors are female, and young ones too. Depictions of women in fanfic as often being more submissive in more smutty works can play into a deeper instinctual desire of many young females to let go and have someone else take charge with their sexuality, since I'm guessing many of these authors are virgins, don't know what to do with their sexuality or are nervous about it, so they fantasize about having someone else essentially take charge and guide them through it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we have the Mary Sue character archetype, which can play as a power fantasy, feeding into the author's ego, or giving them an escape if they feel underapreciated in real life. I don't know much about femships though. Not that I haven't seen any or that they're not there, but because I'm just really not attracted to the female body, so those fics are kind of a major turn-off for me.

[@caitsil3366]

Agreed! This would be a really interesting topic for a video!

[@YourFavoriteDropouts]

Since you've done a vid on this, you should make one about the soulmate au' s someday as well. I always see one of those lying around on sites, and there's so many variations that each one is unique.

[@cjhs2006]

I Freakin’ Love The Omegaverse

[@LightEbonyDarkIvory]

OMG I love A/B/O fic so much! What I particularly love about it is how it plays with gender dynamics. In the real world, you basically have men and women. In A/B/O, you can potentially have 6 different genders. So you can have a world in which women were never treated as less than men. Instead, you have omegas which include both men and women. Of course, a lot of injustice and consent issues and stuff like that can occur in these fics. But it's not purely women suffering from gendered discrimination as a matter of course. That's why whenever I get really upset at sexism in the real world, I go to A/B/O where gender politics is completely shaken up. This is also why I hate A/B/O that just completely erases women. It kinda spoils the whole thing for me. I mean I usually read it as a m/m fic, but I only like it if women also exist in this world as well.

[@jens7571]

This is true in theory but whenever I read abo fics they are almost exclusively male focused. I would love to see a female alpha/omega male fic to explore this idea (even though I'm a lesbian) but usually abo is just used to justify mpreg or apply sexism/dubcon to male gay relationships.

[@screamingsushi6260]

Well may I make an argument? Our society is kinda like the A/B/O universe, we just use male and female in place of A/O. So in that world, gender don't matter at all. Now, their can still be a form of sexism. It's hard to explain, but you can see the dynamic can use Alfas to oppress betas and omegas. That is kinda their form of sexism. Opposing people off of what they identify as and something that they cannot change. You can kinda compare A/B/O to both gender and sexuality and it's all kinda the same in a weird way.

[@MsFenriss]

I've found a few female alpha/omega male stories, but they are very rare. If you're picky about your fandoms, you may never find them. I had to go searching across fandoms I have no interest in, but I've managed to dig up a handful. I love that trope!

[@IceFireofVoid]

I did figure that your type of people politically speaking would like these fics. It is an interesting depiction of a society that is exaggeratedly controlled by genitals. Pretty much all conflicts in these fics are based on gender discrimination.

[@hyvnmni]

raise your hand if you're like the only person on this planet alongside me who doesn't like a/b/o fics. istg it feels like everyone reads them but i just... don't. but hey, if you like it, go for it! whatever makes you happy. xx

[@grinsekatze7930]

Valentia I don't read them either. I've tried a couple omegaverse fics... But they just don't work for me.

[@bonsha8784]

[@hyvnmni]

i agree. i love mpreg fics especially in the 1D fandom but when i look for them 70% is in the a/b/o verse and it's so annoying to scroll ages to find a fic that plays in our universe.

[@trade21]

I like to read them but only in specific Fandoms they work good with some and not at all with others

[@Mica_T]

Agree. I don't like a/b/o and the romance genre in general. It's quite hard to ignore them though, they make up the majority of stories.

[@sacredlamb3021]

I find Omegaverse misogynistic. Most times I think a story has a message in it, and when authors feticiste traditional gender roles....just no. To me Omegaverse is the Handmade tale, but from someone who actually likes it and romanticizes it ( and by that I mean just from a kink perspective, cause i don't think authors themselves condone sexism irl, and there are a lot of really bad stuff that is fetichised, but at least most people would acknowledge that they are feticising, for example, rape, but to my knowledge this fandom doesn't acknowledge that they are just re branding and feticising sexism) when I read a traditional AOB (that doesn't have an explicit social critique of the society) i view it as just another tale where individuals (the characters) internalize their assigned role in society based on their biology, and I can't separate that reality from the text. An era before feminism existed and both men and women found women being submissive to men as the way things ought to be, but this time with Omegas and Alpha. Biology has historically been an excuse to divide men and women in society, just cause in the AOB there's even MORE biological rational, doesn't make it different. If there's a fic where Omegas ad Betas and Alpha get together to form a movement to disrupt the hierarchies, it all in bdw.

[@justrandomotaku]

Good point!!

[@acrekke6956]

THIS^^

[@talks614]

It depends on which fandom and how far the author wants to go with it, but I do like a/b/o. The only things that really bother me about this trope is the consent issues that's present in a lot of fics, and the lack of femslash and female alphas but that's about it. A/B/O is really interesting, there's a lot of dynamics you can explore with it. Yay for A/B/O!

[@abbystafford7549]

I love omegaverse (yes partly because of the kink) but the character dynamics are so interesting and I love it. You've got rare omegas hiding their omaga-ness and then getting found out during heat. And it's not even the south that's awesome (though yeah, it is) but also the alphas suddenly feeling super protective over the omega. Ugh I just live it so much xD

[@HPDM14]

I love Omegaverse, but not for the smut (although some of it is very well written...AHEM!) For me I love it for its mpreg, soul mate and fluff potential with a pinch of angst. If anything the werewolf and BDSM aspect pushes me away. I think since it began Omegaverse has matured and fics tend to explore bigger narratives than just smut. I am currently writing a A/O for Stucky. Thank you for another awesome video :)

[@srivers1505]

Heh, I'm the opposite. I like the werewolf and/or BDSM aspects of it but get majorly grossed out by mpreg.

[@designerhearts]

Sarah K I kinda relate there, though in more okay with BDSM, I'm not really into the idea of the werewolf thing as it just not something that really stands out to me, and I personally don't like it. Mpreg on the other hand is a very interesting aspect, one which I love dearly.

[@pl6ttin]

to me the smut in omegaverse is one of the best parts

[@TheMimiSard]

I am currently reading A/B/O Stucky. It's a great pairing to play with A/B/O in, though any fic about Steve can be so, simply because of the whole "Man Out Of Time" factor allowing for a comparison of 40s culture to 2010s, and gender rights.

[@beyabeyabe]

Hello, I'm dropping by to say that this troupe fascinates me. 1. The Omega-Alpha dynamic. Most of omegaverse fics portrays omegas as lowly beings. It helps tackle the exact thing that happened through history, slavery. In some well written fics, you can see how the Alpha plays the part in changing the world and banishing slavery. You also have to have a fair amount of knowledge on the rise and fall of communities etc. I am an of fictions that revolves around changing the world's dynamic. 2. The flexibility of genders. It's very interesting to see female Alphas in this universe, where women are treated no less than men. Even m/m can have a child and it's heart-warming. 3. The constraint. What you will regularly see in this troupe is an omega, fighting for his/her rights. It stirs on a new sense of justice and you can't help but admire them. Also, when omegas are in heat, some fics make the alpha tries his hard to fight his animalistic behavior just to help the omega. The alphas sometimes can be so caring and kind and it breaks stereotypes. In conclusion, I like this troupe if it involves their will to change or constraint. Like, they live in this inevitable world and somehow they hv to cope. I hate it if the fic doesn't resolve the conflict between a/b/o.

[@DerpDevilDD]

As someone who loves A/B/O, specifically in the Marvel MCU, I'm always down to know more. It's fascinating, all the different permutations you can use to change the life experiences and interpersonal dynamics between the characters. Steve Rogers alone is a gold mine of different situations, since the serum changed his entire physiology and he can experience multiple designations (presentations, etc). Make it a Stucky fic and you've just doubled the possibilities!

[@KiriWho]

Yes, Stucky is life for me. Either character can play either role and since both have different personas the designation combinations and situations are endless. Do you have some favorites?

[@DerpDevilDD]

I really enjoy AlphaSteve and OmegaBucky, where there's some kind of preexisting romance element. I like that Steve has to deal with being a sickly, defective Alpha, either pining after an oblivious Bucky or doing his best for Buck, while feeling like he's not good enough (even though Bucky would never want anyone else). I like the way the dynamic changes when Steve's all post-serum huge and now Bucky is the vulnerable one that needs someone to take care of him and Steve gets to make up for all the care Bucky's shown him over the years. I also like Steve switching designations as a result of the serum and having to go through puberty all over again, because it gives him such a huge world view, being on both sides of the divide that way. Of course, I love Stucky without A/B/O, too. They're just so damn good together and the story arc between them is so epic.

[@jackofhearts5542]

RedHoodedRobin Depends on the fandom if m/m ships dominate it. I've seen many fandoms where f/m ships are more popular and vise versa.

[@HibiyaPlays]

RedHoodedRobin what Poison said, it depends on the fandom. I'm pretty sure though that one of the main reasons is due to the number of male characters in the show/story. Like, I noticed that Shonen animes, which usually has a LOT of male characters than female, tends to be dominated with m/m in fandom.

[@hvideulv2617]

I personally find the omegaverse very intriguing. I like the world building part of it. I believe that you can use the medusa effect on the verse, to see how people view our world. E. g. All the A/B/O combinations is the medusa effect of all of the diffrent sexuality's in our own world. E. g. Omega and omega are not taken seriously, especially if their primary gener(e. g. male & male) is the same. The same goes with Alpha couples. (I know most people today don't look at it this way. But there is still a lot that do it, sadly.)

[@Hakajin]

Interesting. I didn't know about this, but I could kinda guess what it was from the name. I like your discussion on the healthiness of the trope. Personally, I think it's easy for this to be an unhealthy dynamic, and that saying "It's just fiction, chill out," is not an answer. Because fiction does influence our worldview in very real ways. I don't think it's kink-shaming if you're concerned about how the person who likes it might be affected, if you're worried that it might make them accepting of abuse in an actual relationship. At the same time, I don't think there's anything wrong with enjoying unhealthy dynamics in fiction, as long as you're aware that it only works in fiction. That's why it's good that there's a discussion around it; that's what makes it ok in my book.

[@designerhearts]

Hakajin That is a very true point, I do believe effort needs to be made within certain stories to explain when aspects aren't really "okay" for a better term. Personally I like a lot of darker fics, that omegaverse can easily create but they do have to make note of it, and I very much dislike putting light on things that are bad, when it is a good fanfic of horrible things, that are made to be horrible it's okay personally, it just needs to be tagged or warned properly depending on how bad it may go

I love this channel :) we appreciate your work!

[@vikiuniv]

Thank you for this!!! I was waiting for a long time!!

[@lilita609]

Hi! Thank you for this video! I'm very glad that you mentioned the consent issues that apply in this trope as this is one of the things that make an a/b/o fic a hit or miss for me! For me, the world has to be very well thought out, and what i love in this tripe is the possibility to challenge societal rules and problems! I for example love wen authors take the structure and make civil rights movements out of them! This tripe can be the best thing ever, or it can be a total failure for me! Depends on the author ☺️

[@raya000]

Liliana Alves Wow I feel exactly the same, I enjoy fic wich deal seriously with consent issues and omega rights, sometimes it's really great ! 😊Could you maybe give me a few links of stories you like? They are hard to find^^

[@nooneherebutuschickens5201]

@@raya000 There's a classic in the Sherlock fandom with extensive discussion of civil rights for omegas, who are rare in the story 'verse. Look for "The Gilded Cage" by BeautifulFiction, Johnlock pairing, on AO3. 326K of intense world-building, case fic, and gender politics, with all consent issues addressed before any smut happens, which is much later in the fic that you'd think.

[@izayamckale8752]

If your a Yaoi fan, you'll know what an Omegaverse is. The one thing I didn't know is that it expand beyond the yaoi. This is the first time I heard it on Fandom elsewhere.

[@SillyLittleAnimeGirl]

You should really do a Hamilton video soon! It'd be great for poly ships!!

I love that someone finally did this thank you so much 😊

[@ellaisplotting]

I love a/b/o fic - in fact, it may well be my favourite type of fic. thank you so much for this incredibly interesting video, I had noticed (and read) a LOT of spn a/b/o but I didn't know that that was, if not the origin, then at least the popularisation. The kimk dynamic and sexual content are fun to read, if written well, but the huge depth of world building is the real cincher for me. Hot smut isn't that hard to find; hot smut that reorganises the world we live in into complex and well orchestrated ways? That's the shit right there.

[@ellaisplotting]

*kink damnit

[@cjstar01jones17]

holy shit you did it! also I LOVE how you use dean and stiles as the click bait. there are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MANY omega vers stories with dean x cas and well teen wolf was just asking for it.

[@SK98765]

Thank you! I really needed the omegaverse explained to me. I see so many fanfics with that tag but always get confused since most are written with the assumption you understand what the alphas, omegas or betas are

[@librasgirl08]

In the last months I often read about Triad pairings in the ABO verse, the most stable you are in a triad. There are some writers, who actually tired to sort out the genetics, how would the genetic make up for a person in the ABO verse look like and how genetics would work with deciding, would you be alpha, beta or omega. It can be rather detailed and creative indeed.

[@DarkYashaRyoko]

If I ever need to explain the trope to anyone I'm just gunna link to this vid. Wonderfully made and highly informative, thanks for making this. Side note, my favourite fic in this trope is from the Sherlock fandom, its a platonic Johnlock story where John gets shot and ends up in an a/b/o version of Earth. The series is called Drifting under Bridges by Cleflink on Ao3. Not sure if you've read it or not but I though it might interest you.

[@soritahin1283]

omegaverse got so popular that yaoi mangas start publish about them too. It's really interesting how close fandom actually connect.

[@oncealomvigialwaysalomvigi5805]

It's also very common for betas to be intersex, at least from what I've read.

[@Daniel-gg1nb]

I personally love A/B/O and one of the main reasons why is because of just how much variation there is, in my opinion it's really fascinating. I see it a lot with Voltron and tbh it's especially believable because of its genre being sci-fi and all that entails.

[@faolanthealpha5827]

Thank you for informing all those who had questions on the topic of A/B/O . I'm actually surprised to see that a good amount of people don't know about the AU but with more people now knowing about this new category of fiction, I hope to see alot more new faces and their future fics.

[@insertfunnypun]

oooh you should do something on hanahaki disease! i love your vids!

[@goatision2895]

I had no idea what this was for a very long time but this was actually a really fascinating topic to learn about

[@crazykenna]

I had assumed that it had more to do with Twilight, I’m surprised that it’s a more (relatively) recent phenomena. I gotta check out that Wing Fic collection, thanks for the rec!!!! 🙏

[@thats.a.sketch]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I’ve run into a few things that are labeled alpha and omega and didn’t really get it but now I do!

[@eventualnightcore6221]

Good job with the video! I just wanted to mention that wolves out in nature don't actually behave this way: it's only when they're in captivity. Because the only wolves we were able to observe were in captivity, that's what we thought for a long time, but when observed out in the wild, wolf packs act much more like families, or lion prides. Just wanted to get that out there! But yeah, really good job on the video! As always, I'm impressed!

[@hannahhinners4456]

omg I love your channel and I literally just commented on another one of your videos with another request but could you do an explanation of the difference between the different tagged types of fics because there are so many. Gen, slash, pre-slash, tags, codas, character studies like...I'm confused all the time going through fanfic dot net. Also: pros and cons of different fanfic websites (Wattpad is mostly normie, AO3 doesn't have a functioning app). Finally, if you can find the time and if anyone else cares, can you do some stuff on the different ships and whatnot within the Scrubs fandom? I'd love to hear your perspective. Thanks!

[@IceFireofVoid]

I adore your animal call censor noises.

[@artisticallylys279]

I used to avoid these fics because they confused me, but the other day I tried reading one, and I really liked it. I looked up the rules (at the time I had wished you'd made a video on it XD), and I'm totally gonna read more of this.

[@LadyLilith1015]

I'd like to hear you talk about *Vegeta and Bulma relationship* ; how it became a thing, how it evolved, it was plot conveniance (such as some DB fans say)? or it was meant to be? Personally, I find this couple super interesting and unique (and actually I saw a lot of Dragon Ball fans that agree with this), because it was like out of nowhere but it kinda makes sense(? IDK how to explain it better. I mean I could, but I want you to talk about it n.n♥ This is the type of channel that I live for. I love your content!♥♥♥

[@ngtskynebula]

This video was incredible! It's always nice to see fannish topics being explored throughly like that. I like omegaverse but usually only the Unusual Dynamics ones; it can fall into non-con/dub-con pretty easily and it triggers me. Great video, nonetheless! 💞

[@kannbrown65]

If you're going for some tropes now, I would love it if you'd go into a weird case where the trope comes directly from a TV show, where the trope is probably more well known than the show- The Sentinel, or Sentinel/Guide. Sometimes called the 'Little Black Dress of Fandom'. I've seen it used in a HUGE collection of universes, from Stargate, to Teen Wolf, Supernatural, etc.

[@Sasu123456789x1]

OMG someone finally talks about this, I love A/B/O!

[@TrivonikaQuintrellDemary]

Thanks I been wanting to know more about this I read a few stories but don't know what it means thanks for this I seen this in anime manga to

[@sleepygoldenart9828]

I absolutely love this!😍

[@akirachaossuta]

Honestly the best omegaverse fics aren’t the smut ones, (although they are really wanted) but the ones that retell and continuations of the story with the themes of prejudice and discrimination and how the secondary genders are seen as more primary then secondary. Basically I want a societal world building

[@EpicAwesomesauce]

Thank you for such an informative video! When I first encountered this trope, I was confused and I had to learn as I went and read a bunch of fics with this tag. I'm glad that my definition of it matches up with the most popular definition for this type of fandom. For me, I really enjoy A/B/O dynamics, but I don't read it often. It is one of my go-to tropes when I am in the mood for it. My wants vary wildly from day to day. It's like porn. Some people might want sub/dom undertones one day, and really romantic slow sex another.

[@designerhearts]

Awesomesauce I can agree there, though I may be a more story-story person, the type is always interesting within omegaverse when it is written well with many varieties

[@unicornsally772]

thank you for this vid... i never understood it before!!!!

[@sanattia]

i really like when authors go really deep into these worlds. stuff like omega opression, omega rights, how heats influence workforce, changes in fertility (in many fics ONLY omegas can get pregnant), theres more inclusion of women in these fics. there are many that are like "our world but my gay ship can have kids and there are more defined streotypical gender roles" but i cherish ones that play with the idea more.

[@tyrannosaurusmeg5014]

I often saw the tags in fanfictions about A/B/O but I never read one, I didn’t knew what that meant, so thank you for making this video, it was really educational. It isn’t something I would be interested in, I started to read fanfiction a long time ago, when there weren’t a lot like now, and mostly in Italian and I never saw one of them in that language, so when I began to read in English I was very confused about all this tags like “mpreg” and “soulmates” and blablabla, I actually was really shocked -maybe I still am a little because it’s just strange to read about a male that gets pregnant- but I don’t judge, or at least I try not to, but the only thing that I’m sure about is that I will never read something about this universe, it’s just to much for me. I’m probably the only one but the fanfictions that I like are those that are really similar to canon and where everyone is in character, if not it feels like I’m not reading a fanfiction anymore but just a strange and really kinky story where the characters have the names of people in shows and books that I like, and I don’t think that is a fanfiction anymore then, it practically erases the whole point of a fanfiction in my opinion, in that case isn’t it better to write a story only about original characters? Sorry for my bad English, and I hope I didn’t offend anyone, that is just my opinion❤️

[@stingingcake853]

I read this one fic a while ago that I thought was just a werewolf one (which I don't normally read, but it looked interesting) and then it had all these internal rules and stuff that confused the heck out of me. like the author explained it, but it was still like I was missing something. This clears up a lot, thank you.

[@patriciablopez]

Thank you for this video I didn't understand this aspect of fandom before now and was confused. Especially recently in the Shadowhunter fandom that I noticed. Not my thing but what ever floats others ships. Heck lately I've been really into Soulmate fics lately so...
