The Title Of This Series Is So Good And Hurts - Tumblr Posts
I knew this series would hurt me. I think in a lot of ways it hurts even more because the ABO dynamic in this society mirrors some of the darkest aspects about our societies antiquated and wrong views concerning gender. The main character being an omega has been trained by society that since she is an omega, she is a commodity, responsible for everyone's views and actions against her. The total "she was asking for it mentality". Which is bullshit. I honestly am really sad for the main character. She doesn't really have any good options, just has to bear through everything. I liked that Yoongi was totally upfront that he was responsible for his own actions and flirting with her. I am definitely proud of her for punching the shit out of Yugeom, but, it does make me concerned that it will create a horrific problem for her in the future. I just love your writing and the way you especially portray ABO dynamics as hyper realistic and mirroring society as a whole, and the commentary on that. What first got me reading your fics was Harvest Moon, but what totally drew you apart for me as one of my favorite authors on this site, was the Yoongi x reader ABO fic, where the MC was an omega at University.

[ Author’s Note : 物の哀れ ~ Mono no aware can be translated as ‘the sadness of things’. It comes from the words 物 (mono – thing) and 哀れ (aware – poignancy or pathos). The ‘sadness’ in question comes from an awareness of the transience of things, as taught by Zen Buddhism. When we view something exceptionally beautiful, we might feel sad because we know it won’t stay so beautiful forever – but appreciation only heightens the pleasure we take in the beautiful thing in that moment. ]

“Yoongi left a bunch of painkillers for you. He said you can take up to three per day.” Jin said calmly , carefully slipping the sleeves of my t shirt over my wrist as i held my arms out for him. He slipped the shirt over my head gently but his arms hit my shoulders, jostling me. I swallowed the whimper of pain that shot through me at the movement. Mina was now awake, happily wiggling around on her rocker.
It was a little past seven in the evening and Jungkook wasn’t due to arrive for another hour .
“I could sleep on a bed of rusty nails right now. I’m so tired and i don’t know why. “ I whispered, staying still as he carefully drew the fabric down over my ribs, before stepping back.
