My boyfriend, again blending together fanfiction tropes: So what if when you finally find your soulmate, that’s when you discover if you’re alpha or omega, right?
Me, hands shaking as I frantically search for pen & paper: KEEP TALKING
Me: Seems hellish
Boyfriend: So does being an ant person
Me: Again, baby, they’re not ants
Boyfriend: YES THEY ARE. They communicate via pheromones— LIKE ANTS.
Me: So back to the soulmate thing….
Boyfriend: You could trick them into following orders and thinking they’re dead by spraying them with a spritz bottle. I think they need a queen.
Me: So back to the soulmate thing…. Seems hellish!
Boyfriend: Not really. If being around the other person is what triggers the changes, if you want to go back to normal… all you need to do is leave.
Me, writing: (You found your soulmate. It’s changing you in scary ways. All you need to do is leave… how difficult would it be to leave? What pressures exist to stay?)
Boyfriend: So these ant-people—
Me: OMEGAVERSE IS NOT ANTS!!!!!!
you do kind of have to actively shape how you feel a little bit. you can’t just like, passively wait for the world to impress and inspire you. you have to choose to look for it & you have to choose to find it.

All of my bathrooms in one place. This series holds a special place in my heart because it was my first official attempt at environment art in this style. I wanna do another set of them in 2026.
Also shout out to Gurathin, who had the funniest opinion arc ever re: Murderbot, from “Am I the only one remembering that this thing is a lethal and untrustworthy weapon?” to “Yeah, yeah, you hate my guts. This kid is fucking hilarious.”
one of the pleasures of Murderbot fanfic is that not only does canon grant us the luxury of Actual Memory Wipes, but the memory wipes can be targeted and specific. they can be done as easily as deleting files on a computer. the files are memories. the breadth of amnesia flavors here is vast and gorgeous
