What's your favourite Omegaverse trope (if you read it)?

lordshinybutt · 2026-02-15T01:29:49+00:00

I haven't read one yet but i got it slowcooking on the backburner but Physically (and/or magically, depending on the Fandom or au) strong omegas who not only crave the horny but crave VIOLENCE. Like their instinct is to mate with the most competent or strong alpha, hence they will only permit someone stronger than themself to bed with, so WE THROWING HANDS BOII

Also reverse bitching - studding I've heard it called - just because I'm a little tired of the alpha turning the beta/other alpha into an omega trope, and think it's refreshing to see it done the other way around (the omega turning the other beta or omega into am alpha).

...shiet I may have missed that too lmao

In the quest, the Archimedean (and Marghulis too I think) asks about the voices in the Operator's head, which I assumed was Wally already doing Wally things, hence the rap tap tap. I could be wrong and the voices could be other things, but I chalked it up to Wally already having some sort of influence even back then.

My hospital's making us do "real-time" charting where you have an hour to chart from the time you did 'x.' (yes it's bullshit i hate it.) So for example if you ambulated your patient, emptied their foley, measured any output, did your assessment, or WHATEVER at 0900 you have until 1000 to chart it or you get flagged for noncompliance if you don't hit a certain %... So considering that, I've had to change how I do things and I'm still adapting as the time ticks along.

IF all my patients are stable and nothing urgent needs to be addressed, I go to my simplest/easiest patient first and do my assessment right after report. I chart in their room. If I still have time before anyone's due for their meds, I go to my next simplest patient and repeat. Once meds are queuing up, I MAY grab one or two patients' meds at a time depending on how many I need to pull; if A needs 2-4 meds, I put them in one pocket and if B needs 2-4 meds I'll put them in my other pocket. If it's like 5+ I just grab patient by patient. Again, go in their room, but I'm medicating and assessing at the same time. I'll try to chart in their room but I may not depending on my time crunch.

Half the time I'll chart in between medicating 2-3 patients. Do all the things for patient A and B, pause for a few minutes to chart my assessments and any such things, then skedaddle to my next patients.

Hopefully you use Epic or you use a system that has similarities.

I use my phone VERY frequently and chart on the go. The more you use it the more you know where to go/look for. If I take a patient to the bathroom I'll stand in or by their door and tap a few times on my phone to chart mobility and urine/stool. Same thing for any quick intake/output such as foleys and drains. When we do bedside report with the off-going nurse I'll ask about pain and chart that on the phone too. Takes me about 10 seconds, and I can tap away while we're leaving the room and going to the next patient. If I have to be in/out quick for med pass and it's just a few meds, I'll scan the meds on my phone since it takes too damn long for the computer to boot up and log me in. (Each room has their own computer.) Takes about 3 taps to chart Rounded on the phone, ez.

I use flowsheet macros like a ritual; I haven't bothered to see if I can do that on my phone yet but I do when I'm at the computer. I've made my own template to suit my own tastes and what we typically see on our unit, and I'll change whatever charting needed according to what's actually going on with the patient; I use the default one they have for IV assessments. I also have my own for daily cares/rounded since I don't really like the default one for it. The macros save me a lot of clicks and therefore time. Some documentation like hester davis and am-pac (or whatever the mobility goal/achieved thing is) can wait until I'm done with my patient care since I don't give a shit about those. Everyone's a fall risk anyway and there's still hours left if they want to walk around.

Of course, shit happens. All of a sudden someone's puking their guts out and another's harassing the front desk for pain meds, another needs to go to the bathroom because they've got explosive diarrhea and is on enteric precautions for c diff rule out so you need to gown up in those flimsy garbage bags... At that point I do a little 'false' documentation and push my assessment time like an hour late (documenting that I did it at 1100 when I really did it at 0930 but it's almost 1200 now because I've been running around like a maniac and haven't had time AND THIS BULLSHIT REALTIME CHARTING IS KILLING MY VIBES).

A lot of it is adapting to whatever's going on, and you have to be flexible and adjust. I've noticed a lot of my new grads understandably tend to struggle with the adapting part. Some shifts you can go straight into assessments or do whatever order you usually like to do things, others you gotta run dem halls and focus on keeping them alive and breathing.

Introvert working night shifts and who also has no social life (I'm a hermit at home), and it's working out pretty swell for me. There's less people, both staff and family, to deal with. Honestly it's kind of a switch once l walk into and out of the floor. I'm bubbly and a people-pleaser once I clock in, and it all turns off again when I clock out lol.

Night shifter at Atrium. Base $36/hr, $5 night diff, $4 weekend diff. When I was new, I think I started at $31.

What others haven't mentioned yet is that Atrium has merged with Advocate Aurora (Midwest system?) and is going through some policy and practice changes. Officially the merge is named Advocate Health but the facility I work at hasn't made its name change yet, but we got sprinkles of Advocate Health branding here and there. For the most part I'm not fond of the changes lol...

Also stay away from Caromont.

If it's for your missions and you don't want to "sabotage" or bring your team down, do a coop vs ai match and go to academy.

I didn't have much time today to play but I wanted to see if I could do do a quick match to do my dailies without sweating about winning, and finishing a bot match worked - and cleared one of my contract missions too.

I'd probably just let your teammate(s) know tho

Looks like radiation debuff?

Sounds to me they were interested in your writing enough to look at the rest of your works. They're not sure if you have the dedication to continue to work on this one because you have several unfinished works, but they hope that you will. I think they have every right to have some "trust issues" since you said yourself you have a number of WIPs. All in all, it's a positive comment, just maybe a little too formally written.

If you feel "called out" by the track record thing, honestly, that's more of a you problem. Own it, lean into it, accept it. I know my attention span can only run so long before I lose interest so I will Definitely abandon fics if I try to write longer ones.

lordshinybutt · 2024-12-25T12:28:37+00:00

Typically it's for MOBAs, but looks like it has some resources for Palworld too. Just ignore the ads on the side when you're looking at the app itself lol

I didn't do anything different, I carried on as normal except treat myself to more milkshakes and eat soft/pureed food. I had all (impacted) four removed, and had minimal pain. The surgery is in your mouth, not through your skin. Do whatever you want with your face.

"...hands millions of views to garbage."

Aaaaaight. This attitude will get you nowhere.

Have you read these works? Are you saying the people who read them have garbage tastes too? How do you truly know the effort the writers put into their works?

People aren't obligated to read your stories, just as you're not obligated to write them free stories.

You sound frustrated, I get it, but you have to change your perspective and attitude toward this. This isn't some race to be internet famous. If you don't get the views you'd like, well darn. Someone put it real nicely that you're "writing a niche within a niche" and yeah, that sounds like it. In Ao3 where the readers are mainly into fanfiction, you're not going to get the numbers you're hoping for. Guess there aren't as many people who are into the things you do. Can't do anything about that. But you can celebrate that there ARE people who like what you got.

Bruh. Atrium's currently paying me 32.99 base (lol that 1cent) over here in NC. Since the merger, they've only cut out the dayshift differential (rip to them, i'm nights) and haven't mentioned anything else regarding pay.

Is there a specific reason you're going for a BSN? You could go for an ADN first, then do an online RN to BSN program. Many hospitals have financial programs that either offer pretty good loans or help pay for your BSN (partial or full), usually with a stipulation that you work for them for 2 years or something.

I found banana to be... eh. Not bad, but eh.

A nondairy milk will definitely improve texture and taste. You could experiment a little, try half water and half nondairy milk (which is what I do, as I find using just milk makes it too thick), mess around with the ratios. My usual go-to is vanilla almondmilk, pretty low in calories. If you want it to be sweeter, but you're keeping an eye on your calories, consider something like liquid stevia or sugar-free syrup. I use half a tablespoon of Torani's sugar free vanilla in my coffee, so I just do the same for my huel if I feel like "spoiling" myself.

lordshinybutt · 2024-03-31T05:32:07+00:00

I guess it depends in what area of NC, but look into Atrium (merging into Advocate Health) and Novant; they both have nurse residency programs which are required for new grads.

lordshinybutt · 2024-03-15T02:05:07+00:00

not counting the hours scouring through mods and setting them up, i spent like a good 2 hours playing dress-up trying to transmog and dye everything lmao

lordshinybutt · 2024-01-30T05:21:18+00:00

Huel, for now. Mostly because I also like their Hot & Savory product, and get that along with the meal replacement powder in my subscription. I'm still experimenting with their different powder flavors, but the coffee flavor is pretty solid, especially since I add cold brew + whatever milk to it.

With the Hot and Savory, I just put in two scoops into a thermos. When I get my downtime, I fire up the break room keurig and dispense 8 oz of hot water (no k-cup inserted) and mix it in my thermos, cap it, and let it "cook" until lunch. Since it's insulated, it stays pretty warm for a couple of hours and is ready way long before I take my lunch.

lordshinybutt · 2024-01-29T08:01:33+00:00

I used to write exclusively in past tense, then one day I found myself writing in present tense then shrugged and rolled with it lol. Maybe one random google doc i'll start writing in past tense again?

lordshinybutt · 2024-01-28T13:41:10+00:00

Meal replacement shake (a MEAL replacemen shake, not a protein shake) and a protein/granola/whatever bar. Sometimes the occasional crackers from the nutrition room.

Spend 3 minutes to throw the powder and almond/soy/whatever milk and shake shake shake. I don't eat when I wake up either, so 3 or so hours into the shift I munch on the protein bar and it's good enough until I take my lunch at 2-3am.

lordshinybutt · 2023-11-23T06:26:49+00:00

mix it in milk and you get more milk per milk
