SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes covid, can only infect cells expressing a certain protein called ACE2

ACE2 is expressed widely in nasal cavity epithelial cells but not in olfactory sensory neurons. 

Seo et al. (2021) studied potential nasal targets for SARS-CoV-2 using golden hamsters as a model organism (commonly used as a proxy for humans in virology studies)

They found ACE2 expression in the main olfactory bulb epithelium (MOE, your “normal” nose organ) as well as the vomeronasal organ (VNO)

Several cell types in the VNO were able to be infected and they also found significant inflammatory activity (macrophage activation, apoptotic cells, etc) 

The specifics of how covid actually causes dysosmia are not known for sure but epithelial damage by local inflammatory immune responses likely plays a role, especially because sensory neurons themselves are not affected (Bilinska, & Butowt, 2020). Therefore I would suggest a potential similar effect of VNO dysfunction as we see in the main olfactory bulb

From Seo et al.: “Considering the function of the VNO, infection and subsequent pathologic changes may affect the behavior of Syrian hamsters”

If it stands to reason that omegaverse individuals have functioning VNOs similar to members of the animal kingdom, then it is more than reasonable to conclude that covid may cause them to lose not only their main olfactory function, but also their VNO function as well

Back to my 2021

I like the concept that every student at the Jujutsu High has a unique uniform. (It's mostly about the collar style)

So, there is an idea of satosugu changing clothes

Like Utahime's actually popping out of her head at seeing Satoru wrestling and playing with the kids? The first time they get called dad(Satoru) or papa(Suguru)

Like seeing Satoru of all people scolding a little Megumi for doing something he shouldn't be. Hearing Suguru gently teasing or acting goofy to make the twins laugh. Both the parents vying for Tsumiki's hesitant favor.

Nanami rolling his eyes listening to Satoru gush for the 10TH TIME about megs technique manifesting. Seeing Suguru threaten to ground one of the twins or giving them a time out.

Friends are invited over and their apartment is absolute chaos. The fridge filled with crayon drawings. Stuffed animals EVERYWHERE. One time Satoru overslept after passing out on the couch after a late night Disney movie marathon. Rushing into class only for the students to snicker behind their hands, Satoru is confused, none of the students tell him that he has very bad makeup all over his face.

Suguru, who normally wearing black nail polish, is constantly seen with very poorly put on polish in pinks and purples.

This is the best post I've ever seen in my entire life.
