do u think omegaverse acknowledges covid-19 and the generation of people who permanently lost their sense of smell like how are they all scenting each other now is the omegaverse economy in shambles

actually pheromone sensing works differently from normal olfaction, since humans in our world don’t have a functioning vomeronasal organ (VNO), we don’t have any data on how covid-19 would affect a functioning VNO in omegaverse AUs

OP this is very well-written but im still hung up on how you came onstage dressed as a clown only to tear off the costume and reveal yourself as a biologist

Not superstitious and not not superstitious but a third secret thing (read a lot of fairytales as a child and doesn't believe them but also would never be rude to a mountain while still on it just in case)

Hang on, would white make more sense as a clean slate and rebirth, given the (canonical) phrase/idea of a Cin Vhetin, which translates most literally as a “white field,” but is used to mean a fresh start?

I did think about it, but then I thought that the action of stripping away the paint to bring the armor back to its silver state felt more like a rebirth than adding white paint on top of it, because you’re basically restarting from zero with the plain beskar, on which then you can add new colors, symbols etc.

Lots of interesting ideas here. I'm curious what others think on the nuances of the colour black; does it mean anything beyond justice? For me, given that space and spaceships have long been the homes of Mandalorians, it feels like it would also carry...maybe not a feeling of coziness (space is a very unforgiving environment, after all), but kind of a sublime vastness and maybe a feeling of care or compassion (much like how one might think of the rich black soil on earth if their life is very dependent upon its wellbeing). I think black is a probably a very positive colour.

btw while people continue to fight the system don't forget about Undue Medical Debt (formerly RIP Medical Debt), a charity that buys and forgives medical debt. on average a donation of $10 will forgive $1,000 of medical debt.

I'm fairly confident that this is now the one original post I've made that has gotten the most notes, and I honestly couldn't be happier. the more attention we give this, the higher the chances that someone will see this and donate. medical debt is both one of the most crushing things a person can deal with and one of the stupidest things humanity has invented. and if you live in the US, I have no doubt that you've had to deal with medical debt in your life, either for yourself or a loved one. even a small donation can do so much good, and now is the time of year when we are encouraged to think of others.

reblogging this again to bring up that when my grandma said she didn’t understand trans people, and why would they betray the body God gave them, it would have been 0 help to explain to her all the biological and cultural and societal components to the existence of the concept of gender and trans people. You know what did make her pause and reconsider her stance? “Did you ever think that maybe God made trans people on purpose?” And we got to have a conversation about all the interesting things God has made so why wouldn’t God make trans people? And she came out of the conversation with more grace and understanding.
