KIKI'S PEACH DELIVERY

@scp-1296 you understand me

"Beneath The Golden Willow"

I think part of what is making young people lonelier, in discussing why they're increasingly isolated, is that they're so afraid of meeting someone who doesn't hold their same beliefs, and instead of being just core beliefs it is kinda ancillary shit.

It's actually okay to disagree even on social topics! Even on some political ones! But I mean, online you can start with "i love this mutual but they have a really bad/uninformed opinion about x media"

I know this is IMMEDIATELY going to be taken in bad faith, and yes babygirl, you are so right, I DO want you to go make best friends with both the KKK grand wizard AND your nearest nazi leader.

But seriously, as someone who has spent two decades doing community organization: finding ways to connect with different people is so so so important. There are people i follow here who ate 80% smart and their brain falls out of their head 20% of the time and that is GOOD FOR MY MENTAL ECOSYSTEM AND GOOD FOR LEARNING HOW TO BE A PERSON

Oh yeah, I'm always down for headcanon asks, just beware that due to work constraints, I only reply to messages on the weekend, so if you ask more and it takes some days, that's why 😅

It's been a hot minute since I dabbled in omegaverse, but I'll let you in on a lil' secret: I usually don't like omegaverse. Like the whole idea and premise of it just... no 😂 But some of the aspects of it can be hot, like the intense sex drive and such and tbh, the assurance that if a character is an omega they're gonna bottom, for people very picky about it like I am it's such a good thing.

The mating bites being akin to insta-marriage was a big offender tho! It makes absolutely no sense and seems so coercive, in a way? So a change I made is that the bites just prolong the heat. Kina like a biological fail-safe to keep fucking and ensure conception. And ofc the heats are much shorter generally, cause I've seen other fics when it's like a week of it? Bruh, no way they survive that. Or that society can function, sorry 😂 So yep, bites release a lot of hormones that make the horny keep going and the participants feel more connected while it lasts. Not maigcal tho, can't give you the feels for someone you hate, just sorta amplifies whatever is already there.

Idk how well it translated on paper, but the whole "one mate only" thing was intended to be bs and just a societal construct. I tried to reflect that with Kapkan's thoughts and how he muses about the negative stereotypes associated with omegas, but alas, that one was mostly a pwp and that's not the place for extended lore I didn't know how to shoehorn in there without derailing the pace of the smut 😅

#2: "hi [professor], hope you're doing well! unfortunately, I'm [sick/stuck at work/dead] and won't be able to submit [assignment] by [due date]. could I please have an extension? if not, is there anything else I could do to make up this credit? thanks so much, [op]"

The FIRST SENTENCE is the thing you want the recipient to do. Do not make them guess.

I want to let you know about ... (This email is to inform someone of something not to ask them to do anything)

Could you please do ... (This is a request. You want them to do something).

I'm looking into x and wondering if you can help me (this is also a request but for information instead of an action).

People do not want to read an email and even if they do read it, most people are skimming and not interested. Tell them what you want first, then provide context or other information (when you need a thing is often key). If the email is informational, you can even add "you don't need to do anything, this is just to keep you informed!" People will appreciate not having to figure out what you want from them.

If you can't articulate what you want the recipient to do with the message, you are not ready to email them. I read too many emails where I have no idea what the person wants from me.
