There is a belief that if Betas have a high interest in sex, they take Alpha/Omega’s mates.
There was a superstition that eating slick which Omegas make while in the heat increases fertility.
People are superstitious about broken canine. If your canine is broken, you will be dead soon.
The lucky animal in most countries is the wolf.
In addition to the superstition that taking a picture takes away your soul, if you put your scent on your picture, your body changes with the person in the picture.
People with the scent of flower blooming in winter are expected to live very healthy.
There is a saying that the flower language of a flower with the same scent as the person's scent shows the person's character.

I get the appeal of having that one character who's the token "normie" and doesn't have as much weird quirks and interests compared to their friends, but I disagree with any ddlc "Everyone lives and is happy and hanging out together" au that makes Monika that friend. Let her be silly!
She has a bunch of weird skills and when asked about any of them she just goes "Oh yeah, my parents signed me up for classes when I was like, eleven." She likes cult classic movies and books and could rant about them for hours. She's very involved with social and politic issues and likes philosophy but never talks about any of this because she's scared to be seen as pretentious. She has a bunch of weirdly specific playlists and one of them is just songs from musicals, some of them being extremely obscure.
She likes games where you can build and take care of things, both for the relaxition and for the fun of playing god. She dissociates and overthinks a lot and one of the few things that calm her down is coffee, while milk and tea strangely make her more hyper and speed up her mind. She watches kid shows with silly "Be yourself, you're perfect just the way you are" messages when she's upset. She has a pinterest addiction.
She texts like a mom (cute emojis, not always understanding abreviations) and jokes like a dad (all her favorite jokes are puns from one of those joke books). She snorts when she laughs too hard. She doesn't know how to ride a bike. She owns a record player and prefers to listen to her music that way. She's a plant mom. She collects seashells, pressed flowers and wooden toys. She plays with legos. She needs glasses but refuses to wear them.

Headcannon for the day! In omegaverse it is popular to form cuddle piles with your packmates. Its a spot that people colectively agree on where you can cuddle with everyone at the same time. It can be one's nest ,bed, sofa or even a separate room exactly for that. I just picture several people squeezing into this space and chilling with others, napping and having a good time.
silly little drawing that im actually really proud of
Basically, it is the instinct of Omegas to create a comfortable space in den.
Omegas are generally building one large nest in their own house or in their own area.
Omegas build small nests whenever necessary. (Pregnant, Adoption, Anxious...)
Creating your own safe space is a great help to your mental health, so counselors recommend nesting for Alphas or Betas, who don't have any particular instinct.
There is always one big store in the city for nesting materials only.
In modern times, there has been a trend in nesting materials, and outdated nesting materials are thrown away, causing a lot of garbage problems.
There is a Broadcast that experts help Omegas, who aren't good at nesting
etc etc
Hey I dont know if you're still around, but my friend loved your Alpha Peeves post and was wondering about your ideas for Omega Pet Peeves?
Sure I do!
1. “No I’m not acting like this because I’m almost in heat, though if you say that again, I’ll tear into like I was”
2. “Well, I saw this one coming, this is the part where I’m told it’s my fault for __________ because I’m an omega?”
3. “No it’s fine really, I can do it, I don’t need to get an Alpha to help.”
4. “Did you seriously just tell me I smelled like heat, as if I don’t already know that.”
5. “I’ll dress how I want, I don’t care if AlPhAs don’t like it.”
6. “I was just asking if you were okay? You smelled distressed. No need to get all high and mighty alpha.”
7. “Of course Omegas can date other Omegas.”
8. “Yeah I’m dating a Beta, no I don’t need an Alpha.”
9. “Yeah ________ really is my job. How do you think I feel in an Alpha dominated profession?”
10. “If I had a dime for every time I got catcalled by an alpha I’d be too rich to walk anywhere.”
11. “Please stop trying to set me up with Alphas because your think they’ll make me more calm/submissive/relaxed.”
12. *deep sigh* “Actually I’m an adult.”
13. “I’m an Omega, not a moron.”
14. “I hate wearing collars. I know Alphas know better than to bite random Omegas necks.”
15. “Actually I don’t want kids” ... “No, I don’t think I’ll change my mind.”
16. “I’m really happy not being mated, I don’t want a mate.” ... “No, I don’t think I’ll change my mind.”
17. ”I’m not made of glass, treat me like you would a Beta/Alpha”
18. “Actually, my mate is very supportive of my independence.”
19. “I’m not teasing anybody, I’m wearing f*cking shorts (dress, etc.)
20. I think at some point it just becomes convenient for people to accuse Omegas of _______________ honestly.”

what am i doing
Albeit with difference in intensity, both genders are required to somewhat control and manage their scents. Alpha has the most intense ones so it is natural that they supress their scents to not overwhelm others. Furthermore, the most important scent glands are placed in vulnerable spaces and their purpose is designed to attract potential mates, thus giving it a special reputation. Omegas who have the most sensitive and reactive scent glands are often put in position where (when unmated*) they need to cover their glands as to not be overwhelmed by external stimuli. This resulted in an branched out fashion for those personal spaces and an etiquette for it. Often times the omega child will inherit the coverings from their omegan parent
Unmated omegas who are not mature yet or didn't enter courting age yet most commonly wear simple full covering bracelets, with minimal number of accesorisation. It is modest and usable for long time.
When they will reach mature age, those bracelets will get more detailed and eyecatchy as a way to attract potential partner. The limit there is your own imagination
Similiarly to bracelets, they are modest in look and focus more on usability than beauty. They cover most of the mating gland, partly because of anatomy but also because there could always be malicious alphas who can take advantage of this weakness and mate them without consent. Because of this, all covering for omegas are made from metal as to make it difficult for them to chomp down on it.
Mature omegas who are courting will wear more extravagant ones, not to sound like a broken record, regardless if they bought it themself or got them from the courter. Omegas often try to match the style of the bracelets and necklaces with other jewelry.
Alphas often use wrist guards who are sturdy and firm in shape. For most of the time, they can be a good cushioning when delivering a knuckle sadwich and have good joint support. They are not made to be a main show, but to complement and support the look.
*The unmated omegas are the only ones that wear neck covering because when they find a mate, their scent glands focuses on their mate instead of everyone around them, making it easier for them.
*² I do not refer to them as collars because of personal preference. The word in my opinion makes it feel like omega is not a human but a pet that has to be kept on a leash, which i don't approve of. Because of this i wanted to keep it as neutral as possible. Regardless, you don't have to agree with me or chuck the word out your vocabulary, at the end of the day it is all a fiction and we are all here to have fun with it :)
*³ Alphas do not have any serious reasons to wear those at all. I have a little fantasy that back in the ancient days, there was a filthy rich husband who loved his wife so much that back in courting phase he started wearing proudly those guards as a show of solidarity to omegas and accidentaly started a worldwide trend.
An Akashi much like the Kagune from Tokyo Ghoul are extra appendages that are located on a persons back.
(Image from Ceru_Draws on Twitter)
A Bukishi is a tail like appendage that can be molded and shaped into anything the Alpha desires at will (spear, sword, hammer, armour, fist, shield, axe). It is a short range Akashi and is ejected at the lower back (I know it is not in the image but pretend that it is). Evolved that way in order to protect their pack. Their Akashi are the biggest, heaviest and most sturdy which is why the Alphas are as tall, big, and strong as they are. Usually are on the frontlines in battles.
A technique passed down by Alphas that uses the Akashi in 4 unique ways.
The hardest to master and after use the Alpha will be unable to use their Akashi for 24-hours. Their muscles will also be sore.
