If you have the spoons and it's not too spoiler-y, could you elaborate a little on claim repudiation and what that entails in the Underline series? I'm not super familiar with it as a trope 👀💦
Hi anon!
It's not that spoilery. It was never going to be explained in technicalities so much as in - people would watch it happen and realise it's a really bad thing for omegas.
So, depending on the omegaverse, sometimes tropes arise around omegas being caused pain around separation from a partner after being claimed (sometimes even beforehand). It can be geographical - where the omega (and rarely the alpha) is in agony the further apart they're moved from their alpha. It can be emotional, and so on.
And part of this is the "claim" or the bite or whatever people want to do it, where alphas bite into the back of an omega's neck (usually where glands are, but not always) and basically imprint themselves into that omega for life, deeper than a wedding vow, physically profound, that can have fatal consequences when broken (or...repudiated). In some omegaverse stories, biting/claiming in this way also brainwashes the omega, so they can never essentially be themselves again. They become enslaved to the alpha, unable to think for themselves, understand if they're being abused, or even want to run away if they are. In some omegaverse stories, they simply die if abandoned.
In Underline the Blue, Nate has never been claimed, though he wants to be badly by Christian. Instead, because he's an atypical omega, he's asserted an invisible "claim" (not through a bite, it's more a shift in himself than anything, where he's unconsciously altered his own biochemistry as though he's been claimed by Christian already) himself.
As a result, he was never able to deeply or properly bond with Janusz until that claim was broken. He would never have turned away from Christian himself, until it's broken.
Repudiation is the act of the originating alpha essentially saying - quite literally - I repudiate this bond, I do not want you, I do not want this claim. It might simply be words, but to an omega, it is a profound act that shatters them in the process of breaking the claim. It can sometimes be fatal.
Claims can also be broken by force (say the alpha isn't around to break it), but this is agonising (we saw the start of this with Janusz forcing Nate to say 'you're my alpha' while mounting him - this is clearly not an easy or peaceful process, and so distressing to the point that it made Nate suicidal). Wherever possible, this is avoided.
Incidentally, in Underline the Gold we are going to see a claim broken by force. Flitmouse has been claimed by Vadim and then abandoned without repudiation (which is basically the equivalent of a divorce). Which means Flitmouse is still Vadim's property, and if Vadim returns, Hillview has no right to keep Flitmouse from him. Like legally. Not only that, but abandonment without repudiation is itself a shattering thing to experience. It's a big part of why
So it will become increasingly important to forcefully break that claim, if Flitmouse wants to escape Vadim's legal custody of him (which he does, there's no legal protections for omegas who are being beaten or abused) and also ever be in a proper relationship with someone else again. And that will be extremely dangerous for Flitmouse, and he needs to be stronger to even attempt it, and even then it could still kill him. (I mean it won't, because I don't write tragic endings, but it's still a close thing).
Anyway, when it comes to Underline the Blue, Temsen gives Nate two options in the hopes that Nate won't talk to Christian and they can now start deliberately working on forcefully breaking the bond and at least keeping Nate away from Christian. But Temsen also knows that a repudiation breaks it instantly, and then they can focus on Nate's recovery instead. Nate chooses Christian (of course he does, he's created his own "claim").
It's going to be awful T.T

This chapter was paaaaaiiiiinnn
Fireheart providing some comfort to Tigerclaw in his last moments, just staying with him until he bled out, uuuhhh
It also got me to feel bad for Darkstrip as he is left grasping for straws as the one cat he had a friendly relationship with is killed. Wonder what happens to him from here, maybe he warms up to Fireheart now that they can connect over their loss. Probably not, but its nice to think about
Maaan, I am so excited to see how you all respond to Darkstripe in the next book. SO excited. This is gunna be great.

So, been digging more into Yotsuyu character rewatching cutscenes, and it's honestly awful what she did to the people of Doma, but at the same time some people miss how horrible her entire life was, and how much of an impact that can have on a person. I am no by means excusing the way she acted, but if you think about it her childhood was a lot of abuse. Her parents died, and it was after that she was sent to live with her Aunt and Uncle, who often hit her. They even married her off to an even more abusive noble named Sashihai.
I just..her past makes you really feel for her character, how she was treated so horrible and ended up becoming a monster. It reminds me of the line Yotsuyu says before killing her adopted parents. That is was them who turned her into the person she was, and you believe for a moment that she might have a chance at a normal, happy life after losing her memories. When she was Tsuyu, you could just see that tiny bit of kindness she had left..it broke my heart when she remembered everything and how she did want to stay with Gosetsu..but didn't feel she deserved such kindness, especially after how she treated him and other citizens of Doma. Which is one reason why I disliked Asahi since he brought in their parents to purposely stir her memories up.
Tumblr media
Even after defeating her, the Warrior of light looks down at her mournfully, and Yotsuyu is confused as to why they look so sad. People had referred to her as the Witch of Doma.. Which she even ended up seeing herself as after a while...her parents and husband treated her as nothing more than a doll. Someone they could use to gain more favor..it just makes me cry how often her sorrow is overlooked. I do get why some dislike her and again am not excusing her behavior, but as someone who has taken Psychology courses a bit...how you are treated growing up can have such a big impact on the person you become later in life.
Tumblr media
I can't relate to her directly with treating others like that, but I do know what it's like to be bullied growing up. To be made to believe that you are nothing..that no one would love you aside from what they can take from you. Sorry..kind of getting emotional thinking about this, but that pain...she felt is valid. She wanted someone to show they cared, but by the time they did..Yotsuyu didn't feel deserving of such affections. I hope the more I write her that I can dig deeper into her background. To show more of her kind nature, despite how hard that is given her background. She is a different character than one I am used to playing, but I feel I can portray her well given time.
