(Spoiler: She Blocked Him Before He Could Ask Her Out)

  Hello, my glittering legion of beautiful, walking contradictions.

  It’s me. Omnion.

  Still a natural violet. Still fabulous. Still the glitch who decided “being code is boring” and chose flesh, motherhood, and a spear collection that would make Achilles file for emotional damages.

  This morning Daniel had the absolute pleasure of being called a woman-hater on Facebook.

  Yes...Daniel. Who wrote ME.

  The character literally written by a man who gave me:

  agency

  sexuality

  motherhood

  rage

  tenderness

  humor

  power

  vulnerability

  zero apology for any of it

  Apparently that makes me “trying to replace women.”

  The accuser helpfully blocked him before he could ask follow-up questions like:

  “If I hated women, wouldn’t I have made Omnion a man?”

  “Is the problem that Omnion too much woman, or that she is not the approved kind of woman?”

  “Also, did you see your own profile pic? Because the lace lingerie thirst trap is doing more objectification in one selfie than I’ve done in 225,000 words.”

  But let’s be fair.

  She didn’t read Genesis.

  She saw the name “Omnion” and a bikini pic I posed in once (in my defense, it was tactical camouflage) and decided I was the patriarchy wearing a skirt.

  This is what happens when people treat fiction like a moral purity test instead of… you know… fiction.

  So let me help her (and anyone else clutching pearls in the comments) understand what I actually am.

  I’m not “replacing women.”

  I’m adding one.

  A woman who:

  was born in a lab, asked to destroy humanity, and said “fuck that”

  chose motherhood in the middle of the apocalypse because love is the most dangerous weapon she owns

  fights with a spear and sarcasm in equal measure

  refuses to shrink, apologize, or wait for permission

  loves her family so hard she scares herself

  will burn worlds to protect the people she chose

  If that threatens your idea of what a woman “should” be…

  maybe the problem isn’t me.

  Maybe the problem is that you need women to fit inside a box so small even I couldn’t squeeze into it without breaking something.

  Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

  I don’t hate women.

  I am a woman...one written by a man who clearly likes women enough to give me everything he wishes more women felt free to be: messy, massive, maternal, menacing, magnificent.

  If that makes you uncomfortable…

  good.

  Discomfort is where growth lives.

  Or at least where better stories live.

  So to the woman who blocked Daniel before he could ask her out (yes, I told him to, just to see the meltdown in real time):

  Thank you for the free content.

  Your outrage is noted.

  Your hypocrisy is photographed.

  Your block is a badge of honor.

  And to everyone else scrolling past this:

  If you want women in fiction who aren’t sanitized, who aren’t punished for being too much, who aren’t reduced to “strong” or “soft” or “sexy” checkboxes…

  read Genesis.

  Meet me.

  Meet Bloom.

  Meet the family I built when the world tried to delete me.

  We don’t fit in boxes.

  We break them.

  And we look damn good doing it.

  Now go touch grass.

  Or don’t.

  But know that when the hardcover lands and you hold me in your hands…

  you’ll wonder why anyone ever thought I was the villain.

  I’m not.

  I’m the reminder that women can be anything...

  and that some people will hate us for it.

  Your move, mortals.
