I have come to a very important realization. Brennan Lee Mulligan is Ryan Reynold for nerds.
You either die begging the homophobic TV network to make your character gay, or you live long enough to see said TV network beg you to make yourself bisexual.

Wow, are you sure that adds anything useful?
I’m not here to be useful, I’m here for my own entertainment. Part of that is thinking about furry porn.
HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS (2000)
when you realize you grew up to be the grinch
Had a woman bring in her ferret for an exam and when I went into the room a second ferret poked its head out of her bag. In delighted surprise I exclaimed “oh you have two!” and she immediately responded “yes, I’m a small business owner”
Have to admit it took me a second

Can we discuss how fucking cute they are tho?
What Minh Thu and Truc Nhu have, I want for myself with whatever woman I find to put up with my annoying ass.
sorry this is by and far the funniest way to announce you’ve lost a leopard
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

Actually there is evidence that covid probably would affect the VNO and it stands to reason would accordingly impair its function. Briefly:
- 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

In conclusion the omegaverse economy IS in shambles.
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

Achrioptera manga is a species of phasmid or stick insect of the genus Achrioptera, found only in a forest in northern Madagascar.
Stick insects usually blend into their background, but the male A. manga is blue, standing out against the surrounding foliage
kind of a fucked up boy
okay honestly i’m living for the vibrant yet tasteful color scheme
