🕊️ Please Take a Moment to Read Nadin’s Story

My name is Nadin. I never imagined I would write something like this. I’ve always been someone who kept her worries quiet, someone who believed that even the hardest days could be endured with patience and faith. But right now, I am reaching out — not because I want to, but because I need to.

I am a wife, a mother, and one of many women in Gaza trying to survive days that feel like they have no end. There was a short time — a brief ceasefire — where we thought things might start to heal. Where the sound of war faded for just long enough to let us breathe. But that moment is gone now, and the fear has returned louder than before.

My days are filled with uncertainty, and my nights with prayer. We have lost so much. Our home was damaged, our sense of safety taken from us. But through all of this, I try to keep going. I try to hold on to what little peace I can create with my hands, my words, and my love.

I am not asking for much. Just a little help to keep our lives from falling further apart. To fix the small things — a cracked wall, a leaking roof, the pieces of daily life that help us hold on to dignity.

This campaign isn’t just about survival. It’s about holding on to what makes us human in a place that keeps trying to take that away. It’s about showing my daughter — even though I won’t mention her name here — that the world didn’t forget us.

If you’ve ever felt powerless in the face of suffering, please know that even the smallest gesture can carry great meaning. A kind word. A shared post. A quiet donation. These things remind us that we’re not alone.

Help Nadin Keep Her Life Stitched Together

My name is Nadin I’m a mother, a wife, and just one of many women in Gaza who are trying to hold on — to hope, to our families, to any piece

I am still here. Still holding on. Still believing that people out there — people like you — still care.

Please, if you feel moved, consider supporting or sharing this campaign.

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!

20 Omega Pet Peeves

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.”

Beta headcanons

Although Betas are thought to be the same beings as basic humans(a.k.a our universe humans, ‘US’, hereinafter referred to as b.h.), there are many diferences from b.h. because they have gone through the same evolution as other dynamics and have pack-centric lifestyle.

Betas are usually more tribalistic than other dynamics.

Betas are good at distinguishing emotions from scent, because of their tendency to be meditators.

Betas have a strong sense of scent because they often come back from a long distance from their pack.

Beta women still experience menstruation, but they have fewer menstrual volumes, cramps, and period than b.h..

Betas tend to take care of other people’s children in addition to their own, so they often adopt pups compared to other dynamics.

In addition, Betas often have pets.

Because of this tendency, Betas are more engaged in pups and pet-related businesses and occupations than Omegas, contrary to popular belief.

Betas have the longest and sharpest canine among all dynamics because universally they don’t make a mating mark.

Beta women don’t have instinct for nesting, but doctors recommend nesting when they are pregnant. In past, they usually have their pack’s Omegas’ nest, but nowdays most of them don’t have Omegas’ nest.

Betas’ ideal body type is developed slow twitch muscles and thin.

Betas are harder to build muscles than alpha, but they have a strong aspect in cardiopulmonary endurance.

Betas have a larger height difference between primary genders than other dynamics. (3~4inch, similar to b.h., other dynamics is 1~2inch)

Betas are less reproductive than other dynamics.

Betas enjoy jogging outside rather than exercising at the gym. Most people who participate in the marathon are Betas.

Beta men with Alpha were often confused with Omega. On the contrary, Beta women with Omega were often confused with Alpha.

etc etc

Omega headcanons

Omegas are usually smaller than other dynamics, so they are generally little spoons.

In general, Omegas take the role of caregiver and caretaker.

Omegas are picky about interior design, and prefer a soft and round design.

Even if Omegas don't have pups, they use edge guards sometimes.

People think that Omega is the smartest one, but it isn't true. It only seems because of the vagabond tendency of Beta and the inability to concentrate of Alpha, and Omegas have a high concentration.

Beta focuse on the whole, and Omegas focuse on one.

If Omegas is on the ropes, they can become more aggressive than Alphas.

Omegas have the most closed and introverted personality compared to other dynamics.

Omegas' ideal body type is chubby and ruddy.

Omegas' sense of smell is good at smelling nature, so when they are young, they like to go out and collect grasses and flowers.

Omegas tend to do yoga at home, when they have to excercise.

Omegas are possesive and territorial like Alphas, but unlike them, Omegas express indirectly and subtly.

Omegas' canine is the smallest one among all dynamics, still, theirs are sharp.

Omega women have the largest bust and Omega men have the largest bust among men with different secondary genders.

When Omega men are pregnant, their breasts grow as their mammary glands develop.

Omegas have a submissive instinct, but that doesn't mean they're born slaves. They can always be selfish for their own benefit.

etc etc

Alpha headcanons

Alphas usually the tallest one among other dynamics, and they enjoy being big spoons using their height.

Alphas are very aggressive, but they are also less sensitive to personal space. However, they don't allow approach to what they claim to be their own.

Alphas value exterior design more than interior one and are obsessed with the idea of having their own house. It originates from their desire to have a den.

Alphas are very creative. That's why there's a saying 'Betas discover, Alphas invent'.

Young Alphas' desire for exploration is not great, but they often follow their friends to protect them, Betas and Omegas.

Alphas' ideal body type is tall and muscular body.

Alpha women don't experience chest pain when exercising because they have small breasts and their cooper ligaments are more developed than other dynamics, so their breasts are not easily shaken.

Alphas' canine is very smooth. It is more for making marks than for offensive use.

Most of Gym users are Alphas. They like to show off their bodies while exercising and often enjoy taking off their top.

Alphas' sense of smell is good at smelling threat, fear, and pain, so they are good at finding injured people at the disaster site.

etc etc

Superstition in A/B/O headcanons

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.

etc etc

Nesting headcanons

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

Body headcanons

People tend not to see breasts as sexual. A bra is more like an aid that supports breasts than covering breasts.

The skin on people's neck is basically thick because of marking. Still, Betas' canines are long, so Beta's marking often cause big wounds.

Big nostrils have once been the standard for beauty, and people say that small noses look tactless.

Scenting headcanons

Basically, it's a term that people use to rub scent gland on others or nuzzle up against other person's gland.

Because there is a scent gland on the wrist, if people hold hands to greet, there is a possibility of accidental touching it, so greetings usually only nod.

In close relationships, they grab each other's wrists and shake them lightly.

Don't flirt with anyone who is certain that someone has intentionally been scenting.

It's very instinctive to scenting someone people think they're close to, so usually people like physical affection more than b.h..

Alphas have a stronger dominant tendency, the stronger the desire to scenting.

Unconsent scenting is usually classified as sexual harassment.

The act of scenting a close person creates a comfortable feeling for both themselves and the other person.

etc etc

Headcannons about ABO dynamics's Evolution during history? Something that really fascinantes me about the omegaverse is the biological aspect of It and the Evolution that the 'secondary sexes and dynamics may have experienced over the years. Did alphas, omegas and betas exist since the beginning of the human race? Or at first there were only beta men and women and the rest of the dynamics appeared later?

I like to imagine that originally only existed beta men and women, but at some point the human race was at such big risk of becoming extinct that the secondary alpha/omega dynamics appeared as a mechanism to guarantee a higher chance of reproduction. The capacity of impregnating and getting pregnant being independent from the first sex (man or woman) would allow communities to keep growing despite having a lack of men or women, because there would still be a certain percentage of Alpha women/ omega men that can impregnate/be pregnant and compensate the lack of biological men and women (If we asume that the possibilities of becoming Alpha, beta and omega are all the same)

happy monday!

I've seen it both ways, I prefer writing the "always been this way" style because honestly it makes it easier for me and i have less questions I have to muddle through in the worldbuilding journey.

Here's some of my considerations -

the beta loving community is strong! making betas = normal humans doesn't normally play well with that crowd. Of course, I never write things or refrain from writing things for the pleasure of other people, but still.

if there was an event that impacted fertility rates like that - what's the point of having betas at all? and beyond that does that mean all alphas men and/or amab? are all omegas women and/or afab?

If not - this turns into sort of two phenomenons, 1. being the hypersexuality and hyper-fertility and 2. this suggests biologically at some point teens might develop the genitalia and secondary sex characteristics normally biologically reserved for the opposite gender. With my very small knowledge of what life is like as an intersex individual, I doubt that society would suddenly jump on this train like it's the bee's knees. What then???

Human evolution moves slowly - there are several vestigial elements that are fading out of the genome everyday - like having wisdom teeth, appendix, and a specific type of ear muscle. What sort of event/situation could spark such a large scale change so quickly (even over hundreds of years)?

If it's an evolution thing, that suggests an in and out group. Who are the out-group and what if they're not too into the whole omegaverse thing? (again looping back to the question of betas). Is the in group then a different specie of human alltogether?

If the purpose of this is to get fertility rates up, logically it wouldn't be the first thing that occured. Polyamory would likely become more popular - especially men with multiple wives unfortunately. The human litter size might get bigger. It would become socially acceptable to have children younger - or maybe menopause would start getting later and later. Maybe both. Having children would also need to become a lot cheaper - and if your society is quasi-modern, people would likely need massive incentives if the situation really was that dire. Nobody wants to have a baby just for that baby to have to experience the end of the world.

Regardless of all these considerations above, for anyone interested in developing their own omegaverse rules - do consider a punnet square. If you don't just want to have alphas and omegas, there needs to be some combination of their genes that leads to a beta - or they'll simply cease to exist.

Fertility/population is a tricky thing to use as a fantasy mechanism because in the real world, declining birth rates can't usually be attributed to one single thing - normally it's a multitude of factors converging on one another. Of course, this is inherently a fantastical genre which gives us all the freedom to play and have a little fun making stuff up along the way.

🚨🚨Hello my friends it is very important to consider my children's situation they need your help more than ever we do not have money to buy food and water it is difficult to get vegetables because of the high prices and the closure of the crossings in addition to fasting a whole day without food I hope that everyone will not stop helping my family do not think that the war has stopped our lives have become better on the contrary they have deteriorated there are no houses and no streets full of rubble and insects my children and I live in the midst of this destruction, hunger and cold because of the scarcity of food and the inability to buy it because of the noticeable rise in prices please contribute to helping my children and do not stop donating and sharing with our family your donation saves our lives please help us 💔🙏🇵🇸

Cuddle Piles

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.

Omegaverse Catalogue of general Vulgarity, insults and curses

! Warning, following post may have offensive content to some audiences so exercise caution!

I have been inspired of pack-the-pack's post about curse words in omegaverse so i decided to do my own with some revision and additions. Some words may be directly linked to the post but i will also add my own and diferently interpret others.

The following will have insults, curses,vulgar phrases, slurs and profanities.

Insults & slurs :

Towards Alphas :

Knothead -A person person, typically an alpha, who acts like an asshole. It can also be used for a person who think with their dick first instead of head.

ex. Sleeping around like he does requires a impossible levels of ego.Geez what a knothead

Heatstall- Slur made to diminish an Alpha sexually and socially. A heatstall is a person who is so poor at bed that they have a power to stop person's heat . It can also be used for peson who is unatracctive because of their looks and/or behaviour.

ex. it really is a shame that he turned out to be a total heatstall, the way he treats staff is unacceptable!

Loose Tie- it means that their knot is not enough to keep person attached enough to them. Loose tie is a way to tell a person that they cannot secure any close interpersonal relationships.

ex. Being a loose tie that he is, it doesn't suprise me that she left him

Knotless- It is used to describe a person who does not follow through with their plans or words. Can also be used towards a cowardly person.

ex. You Knotless bastard! You promised to be here for me at the gathering but as always you left me alone with these wolves!

Stray Dog - describes an alpha who notoriously sleeps around with omegas and female betas.

ex. Listen to me, that stray dog isn't worth it. He'll just take what he wants and leave you when he's satisfied

Cat-pole - Designed to demean Alpha females sexually and socially. It’s a way to mock a female Alpha’s “retractable anatomy” which evokes thoughts of a cat’s claws; also doubles as being an offensive more “subtle” replacement for “pussy-dick”.

Ex. Why should we listen to a cat-pole like you? We've got enough alphas to steer the wheel.

Bitch- can be used as a regular insult or a slur. It comes from a fairy-tale notion that alpha who recieves penetration will turn into an omega. Bitch can be used as a slur to alpha who engages in such acts or can be an insult that implies that an alpha lacks a spine, sucking up to other and being metaphorically ,,fucked'' by them in turn.

ex. Grow a spine and stop acting like a bitch!

Tail-chaser- resembling a dog chasing its own tails, the insult implies that the alpha who chases after a person for sexual favours without success

ex. She's been tail-chasing him for the whole night without response it becomes almost sad.

Runt - Meant to diminish alpha's strength and position in pack. It means being the weak, incapable or pack reject.

Ex. Little runts like you should not be hanging 'round those parts of the city.

Lone wolf - an alpha who was left by their partner or kicked out of their pack. It generally is used towards rejects.

Ex. A lone wolf like you has no say in it!

Towards Betas :

Stump- designed to insult and diminish Male beta's sexual prowess as they do not have as powerfull appendage compared to their alpha counterparts.

ex. Why should i settle down for a stump?

Knotless- when directed at betas it is used as a demeaning connotation of a beta anatomy

Ex.Are you sure you want to settle with a knotless guy?

Left-over - It is used as an insult to insinuate that the beta will never be the first choice when it comes to dating.

ex.You can try as much as you want but you will always be a left-over.

Tatty - used to demean Beta females implying that their wombs are not as skillful as omega ones because they are a beta. A tattered womb.

Ex. I cannot you settled for her tatty ass instead of me!

Crummy- the same meaning as Tatty.

Beta tester- designed to deman beta sexualy and socially. That they are only a ,,test'' before person enters a real relationship.

Ex. You are nothing but a beta-tester. Do not have high hopes that your relationship will last.

Towards Omegas

Puppymill - used as an insult to omega, insinuating that their only purpose in life is to have children

Ex. Do not get lavish ideas omega, you are nothing but a puppymill

Bitch- i think the name serves for itself

Knot-hole- similiar to puppy mill but also lowers the omega to status of a sex toys, where they are only holes used for fucking.

Puppy-pooper- Directed towards male omegas. Comes from ignorant and incorrect belief of what the targets anatomy looks like. People ignorant of this think that the place where male omegas birth their children and defecate are one and the same. It is used to diminish the omega's ability of having children and establish their childrens' ,,dirtiness".

Ex. Why would you willingly tie yourself down to a puppy-pooper?!

Stud- directed at domineering omegas. It can also be used towards abusive women who try to control every situation available.

Ex. A stud like her will never have a chance at finding a partner

Knot tease- the same meaning as cock tease

Knot dropper- describes an omega who is so loose that their hole cannot hold the alpha's knot anymore. Comparable to being called a whore or a slut.

ex. Do you try to win a knot dropper title by the way you sleep around?!

Tail tease- the same meaning as Knot tease

Tight-fit - Used towards omegas who were brought up strictlty and thus are much more traditional mindset in courtship and lifestyle.

Ex. A tight-fit like her may be more trouble than it's worth, you don't want to die of boredom after all

General Insults

Scent-deaf - refers to a person without a tact; someone cannot for their life read social cues.

ex. Why the fuck did you say that, are you scent-deaf?

Knotsucker- same as cocksucker

Knotlicker- generally it means slut or whore, but can also be used towards a person who is a bootlicker while also expecting some sort of reward for it.

ex.Im outta here, this whole room is full of knotlickers

Overbred- same as knotdropper.

Tail twister- A cowardly person who will be first to give up.

ex. This ride is not for a tail twister like you

Glandless- same as Scent deaf

Neck-sniffer - A pervert; sleazy person

An Extensive Guide to My Omegaverse

While my version of the Omegaverse that I use in my fics and roleplays has the fundamental basics of the canon Omegaverse, there are several key additions and tweaks.

This post will be a work-in-progress, being updated as I think of other information that needs to be added.

Post under the cut.

Secondary Genders:

Secondary Genders are the foundation of the Omegaverse. They dictate who is topping, who is bottoming, who has heats or ruts. There are three main Secondary Genders, which are Alpha, Beta, and Omega, but there are also other, less common ones, like Gamma or Delta.

List of most common second genders.

Here is some information about the main three Secondary Genders:

ALPHA:

Alphas are the second most common Secondary Gender. Approximately 40% of the population are alphas. They are known for being natural leaders with predispositions towards violence, possessiveness, and aggression. However, a good alpha can also be an excellent provider and protector, caring deeply for their mate and/or pack.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF AN ALPHA:

Alphas are usually larger than betas or omegas. The average height is between 5’7 to 6’4, but this will vary from person to person.

In males, broad shoulders and traditionally “masculine” features are common, along with large hands and feet, strong jaws, and a naturally high level of testosterone.

In females, larger frames, narrower hips ( due to inability to become impregnated, therefore rendering null the need to have a pelvic bone wide enough for childbearing ), and thicker distribution of body hair is common. 99% of female alphas are born without a uterus and do not have a menstrual cycle.

FANGS/INCISORS:

Fangs, also known as incisors or “canine teeth,” are a prominent alpha feature, biologically designed for marking their territory ( omegas or other packmates ).

Alpha fangs are usually half an inch to an inch long, and are thicker than other teeth and sharp. The larger the fangs, the more appeal they have. Fang care is very culturally important, with all pups ( no matter their secondary gender ) being taught to thoroughly brush their fangs for at least twenty seconds longer than the rest of their teeth. Bright white fangs and sharper fangs are seen as desirable traits.

Some alphas, especially asexual, aromantic, or aro-ace individuals, may choose to have their fangs filed down by a dentist to show that they do not have an interest in relationships or dating.

KNOTS:

A knot is a thick circle of tissue at the base of an alpha’s member. When they are hard, that tissue inflates into a knot-like formation, biologically designed to be thrust past the rim of an omega’s hole to lock them together while the alpha ejectulates, to ensure that the omega’s body receives as much seed ( also known as cum, semen, ect ) as possible, raising the possibility that they become pregnant.

A common slang term for this is being “pupped up,” or bred, meaning that an omega has been claimed, mated, knotted, and then impregnated by their alpha.

Male alpha knots are usually between two to four inches in thickness. Female alphas, who have an inverted member ( but still fully functioning ) much like that of a male dog hidden within a sheath and will only appear when stimulated, usually have knots that are slightly smaller.

Female alphas may or may not have a vagina. Most commonly they will not, as it would lead to nowhere except in the 1% of female alphas who are born with a uterus, but biological variations have been documented in between 3-7% of the female alpha population.

RUTS:

Ruts are exclusive to alphas. They usually occur annually or bi-annually, often in the spring and fall. During this time, an alpha’s instincts drive them to mate and knot a partner, to breed and produce offspring with them.

Ruts last between 3 and 10 days. During this time, alphas will have raised libido and stamina. They may become increasingly agitated, to the point where they may give in to instincts altogether and become “rabid.” This is a slang term, and does not actually mean that they are diseased, but instead means that they pose a serious danger to any omegas in the area, and will be aggressive towards other alphas to the point of physical altercations.

However, ruts can also be triggered by an omega’s heat, or during bonding. More on all three subjects can be found below.

Rut suppressants are an OTC ( over-the-counter ) medicine used to control and prevent alphas ruts, especially ruts brought on from scenting an omega in heat.

An alpha on suppressants will be more mellow, cohabitate with omegas and other alphas better, and experience a lower libido and decreased instincts.

It is recommended by doctors that alphas go off of their suppressants at least once every four years to allow the body’s natural needs to be met. If an alpha suppresses their ruts for too long, they can suffer physical symptoms such as depression, mood swings, intense irritability, increased aggression, restlessness, along with an oversensitive member and body pain. The longer an alpha suppresses their ruts, the stronger their rut will be after they go off of their suppressants.

Who can an alpha mate with?

Alphas CANNOT fully mate with other alphas. Alpha-alpha relationships are not common, but not unheard of. Alpha-alpha relationships will never produce pups, as alphas are unable to become pregnant.

Alphas CAN fully mate with female betas, since female betas have a fully functioning uterus and vagina. Female betas have a low fertility rate but can still become pregnant. However, due to their lack of strong pheromones, female betas are not the most desired mate for an alpha.

Alphas CANNOT fully mate with a male betas, as male betas do not have a functioning vagina or uterus. Alphas who partner up or bond with male betas will not produce pups. Therefore, male betas and alphas do not often bond, but do often partner up for casual hookups to help unmated alphas through their ruts.

PACKS AND PACK ALPHAS:

A pack is a group of two or more individuals that share a bond. This includes tight-knit friend groups, family groups, or polycules.

Not all friends are packmates. Pack is the strongest bond that can be shared between individuals who ARE NOT mated to each other. Mated individuals can still be part of a pack while retaining a special, separate bond with their partner.

Packs often live together, sharing food, rent, and sleeping space. Non-sexual intimacy is crucial for the pack bond to remain strong. Cuddles, hugs, kisses, and sharing beds and nests are all common practices among packs.

Packs often include siblings or relatives but do not have to. A person can and often is part of more than one pack at the same time. For example, a person may be a part of a family pack ( parents, siblings, and the individual ) and one to two friend packs. Usually a person will have one specific pack they are closest to.

Another common pack structure is that of the POLYCULE. This is where multiple individuals are mated to one another to form a pack like those made by wolves. It is in these packs that the PACK ALPHA is the most prominent figure.

The pack alpha is often the most senior alpha in a pack. They are entitled to control over the other pack members, but may be forced from their position by unanimous vote if they are abusing their power.

In a family pack, the pack alpha would be the oldest alpha relative. This may mean an alpha mother, alpha father, alpha grandparent, or eldest alpha sibling is the pack alpha.

In a friend pack, the pack alpha would be the alpha who had been in the friend group the longest, or the oldest alpha in the group.

In a polycule pack, the pack alpha would be the most dominant alpha. They would have the right to breed and mate all omegas in the polycule, as well as partner up with the betas in the polycule. The pack alpha may, in some polycules, also have intercourse with other alphas in the relationship.

HOW PACK ALPHAS ARE ESTABLISHED:

Pheromones:

Whichever alpha has the strongest pheromonal presence has a natural predisposition to be the dominant alpha in any situation or in a pack.

Pheromones are also known as “scent.” Every person has a scent based on their pheromones that communicates their mood and what their body is feeling. There is a distinct scent for a person who is sad, happy, angry, or anxious. Alphas and omegas have the strongest natural pheromonal scents.

Physical strength or seniority:

Whichever alpha is physically the strongest may be more likely to be a pack alpha. This will usually not apply if there are multiple younger alphas in their prime versus a senior alpha, as an older alpha will naturally hold a more authoritative presence.

Unanimous decision:

Oftentimes, an alpha will become the pack alpha simply because they have proven that they can protect and provide for their pack. An ideal pack alpha is firm but not harsh and possessive but not controlling. This is often the case in family packs.

For example, a family might have an alpha father and beta mother. They would have children, thus creating a pack. Because the father is the most senior alpha, he would be considered the pack alpha.

Another viable example would be a polycule with two alphas, two betas, and one omega. The pack alpha would be the one of the two alphas who is stronger, more dominant, and has a more prominent pheromonal presence. The pack alpha will likely “pup up” the omega, mate and bondmark the betas, and packmark and bondmark the other alpha. The other alpha may be allowed to also mate with the omega and betas, depending on the polycule’s personal decisions and consent.

PACKMARKS, BONDMARKS, AND SCENT GLANDS:

Scent glands are one of the most important things to understand in the Omegaverse. Scent glands are small glands beneath the skin, often appearing as a bump or not at all, that produce pheromones and the unique “scent” of alphas, betas, and omegas.

( screenshot above is not mine )

Alphas usually have three scent glands, one on the nape of their neck and one on each of their inner thighs. They produce the “dominant” scent that alphas are known for, which allows them to force an omega, beta, or lesser-ranking alpha to submit to them ( both in a societal sense and for mating ). An alpha’s scent is extremely important to their omega ( if they are mated to one ). Their scent can calm their omega down in an instant and provides safety and security for their omega.

Omegas can have as few as two scent glands or as many as eight. The usual position for these glands are on the nape of their neck, one on each side of their neck, and one on each inner thighs, along with one on each inner wrist. They produce the “submissive” scent that omegas are known for, which naturally catches the attention of alphas. This scent is described as “sweet” or “alluring,” especially when an omega goes into heat, which is when their scent is the strongest and will be almost irresistible to an alpha and can cause any nearby alphas to go “rabid.” HERE is a post about nesting that is canon to my Omegaverse au ( not mine ). Omegas can produce a plethora of soothing scents, ranging from scents used to comfort pups or other distraught omegas, calm down an agitated alpha, or to self-soothe.

Betas often only have one scent gland at the nape of their neck and one on each wrist. Their scent is described as “weak” or “blank.” They produce very few pheromones except the ones used in secondary gender identification, marking them as a beta. They can also produce “safe scents” used to soothe an omega who has been upset by an alpha. Betas are like the gay best friend, in a way, comforting a person after a breakup.

PACK MARKS are not placed upon scent glands. They are bitten marks that show that a person is a part of a pack, completing the pack bond, and will only remain as long as the pack bond is strong. If the pack bond is too weak or the pack splits up, the mark will fade into a pale white scar instead of a pink mark.

BONDMARKS are placed upon scent glands. They are bitten marks to show that two individuals are mated and bonded to each other in partnership. If the bond becomes too weak, the mark will fade into a pale white scar instead of a pink mark.

A mating/partner bond is a deep connection between two individuals that partially connects their emotions, thoughts, and psyches. It can also be called a soul bond. It is said that bonding with the person you want to spend your life with is one of the single most fulfilling experiences a person will ever have. Emotions are at an all-time high, and both omegas and alphas have described it as finding their "missing piece." Bonding between an omega and beta, alpha and beta, or other less common secondary genders is less intense due to the beta's lack of pheromones and lessened instincts, but is still a very intimate affair.

Pack bonds are not so much finding a "missing piece" as a feeling of deep connection, comradery, and something "bigger than yourself." This will change in polycule packs, when the members are not only packmates but also bondmates.

Note:

If a bonded omega is neglected by their alpha, causing the bond to fade, the omega will suffer detrimental physical and mental effects, ranging from deep depression, low mood, intense anxiety, body pain, fevers, headaches, flu-like symptoms, low energy, increased nesting, and more. The longer the omega is neglected, the more serious the symptoms will become. Severe omega neglect can lead to death and is punishable by court-mandated couples counseling and even heavy jail time if the bond is broken.

OMEGAS

Omegas are the third most common secondary gender. About 10% of the population are omegas.

Omegas are physically smaller, weaker, and more sensitive than alphas and betas. They get stereotyped as submissive stay-at-home spouses, but omegas actually have a wide span of individual personalities. Some omegas may be more prone to defensiveness due to instinctive fear of more dominant secondary genders, even coming off as snappy or aggressive. Other omegas fit a softer, more nurturing description, being good with pups and being naturally empathetic and companionable.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF AN OMEGA:

Male omegas are usually between 5’0 and 5’7, weighing roughly between 100–180 pounds. They usually have smaller builds than alphas and betas, though their body types may range from slender, trim, stocky, pudgy, or more. Big eyes and soft skin, as well as the traditional “sweet” omega scent are key ways to spot an omega. Male omegas also don’t produce as much testosterone as male betas or male alphas, leading to less muscle mass and gentler features. They can be extremely agile and fast due to low distribution of body fat.

Female omegas are usually between 4’9 and 5’5, weighing roughly between 100–190 pounds. They most commonly have small, curvy builds, small breasts, and wide hips to accommodate pups during childbirth. They have difficulty gaining muscle mass and usually have more body fat to naturally sustain them during pregnancy.

Like alphas, omegas have “fangs.” However, their fangs are much smaller, thinner, and more blunt, since they are only used for claiming bites after an alpha has already claimed and mated the omega. Some omegas won’t even use their fangs at all, since marking their alpha is not necessary for the bond to be completed. They will often use their fangs for small nibbles and nips, especially along the jawline or neck, to show affection, companionship, or possessiveness. This is common between both mates and friends.

HEATS:

Heats are exclusive to omegas. They usually occur annually or bi-annually, often in the spring and fall. During this time, an omega’s instincts drive them to mate and be knotted by a partner, to breed and produce offspring with them.

Heats last between 1 and 3 days. During this time, omegas will have an extremely raised libido. They may become agitated, defensive, clingy, or anxious. Heats are emotionally taxing both mentally and physically for omegas.

Further information about heats has sadly had to be removed due to the post being flagged. Google can provide further information, since my Omegaverse AU is compliant with canon Omegaverse heat info. Seriously, though, it’s not fair that people post things far more explicit than this and yet somehow this gets flagged???

DDLC poly relationship

It was my first time writing something like this so I hope I did alright

⊱ you often have library dates but even more often you just borrow a book form library and have your date in home

⊱ on your home dates Yuri would make tea and Natsuki would sometimes make cupcakes

⊱ in facts Natsuki teaches all of you how to bake good cupcakes which often looks like this: Monika is paying attention, Yuri is panicking because she think she messed up, Sayori eats ingredients, Natsuki is trying to teach while scolding Sayori and you're doing your things

⊱ you also have some more fun dates, like going to amusement park or at the beach if it's summer or you go ice-skating when it's winter

⊱ Yuri is calm one in your relationship and always get you all out of trouble, and she also gives you amazing book reviews you all love when she rambles without realizing it

"and so that's why I think character was completely ruined in that book. ... Oh wait, was I rambling again?! I'm so sorry..."

"Don't worry Yuri, we all appreciate it! Can you borrow me this book? It sounds interesting!"

⊱ Natsuki is... well still her usual self, classic tsundere but that doesn't mean she doesn't get affectionate, she just expresses it secretly

"Are you really gonna cuddle again?! That's 3rd time today!"

"Do you want to join us?"

"... Make some space for me"

⊱ Sayori is really just a sunshine in your relationship, it's her who gives you the most date ideas, but she can have her down moments too...

"Sayori, are you okay? I heard you crying..."

"Don't worry about it YN! I'm all alrighty!"

"I know you're not..."

⊱ and finally Monika is the one who also get you out of trouble when Yuri can't, she's in overall very supportive of all of you

⊱ she also works hard to make Yuri believe in herself more

⊱ and she somehow always knows when someone gives one of you hard time

"Hey Natsuki, you know I don't like to bring it up but... did your dad gave you some trouble lately?"

"Wha-?! Ehh... nothing hides from you, does it?"

can you do monika x reader with autism headcannons

monika x reader with autism headcanons

A/N: this is just my experience with functioning autism so it might not be entirely accurate to everyone !!!

monika is generally a very patient person and understands social cues very well, and will always sense when a person in the room is uncomfortable, something that is surprising given how popular she is

she loves to listen to people chat about things they like and believes it's one of the best ways to bond with someone. if you have a special interest or hyperfixation, she'll sit with you for hours listening to anything you have to say about it!!

monika is outgoing and is good at talking to people, and typically does it even when she doesn't like to. so she'll naturally speak up for you and help you order things if you struggle with socializing

she's great at calming people and will stay with you during a meltdown, and won't take any offense if you want her to give you space

if you share a house or a space, she's incredibly attentive to how things might make you feel. usually keeps the lights on low and always leaves your favorite utensil/dish clean for you to use

she teaches you coping mechanisms to be able to ground yourself when overwhelmed, but honestly she struggles to apply them to herself sometimes !!!

you'd honestly expect someone so sociable and popular to be a bit more clueless when it comes to disorders & mental health, but monika actually finds a lot of interest in researching it online

so she devotes even more time to studying autism and similar disorders, along with how to cope with certain aspects

& she's always excited to tell you about the new things she's learned, hoping you'll apply them to your life (and gets super happy if she notices you are)

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.

Omegaverse Dynamics 101

Omegas

The internal protectors. Omegas take care of the inner problems of the pack such as (but not limited to) emotional/instinctual issues, infighting, reproduction, and monitoring pack health and mating cycles. They also make major decisions in the pups' education. Stereotyped as weak and emotional. 

Defining Traits

Submissive

Vigilant

Titles

Pack Mom- oldest or chosen omega with top authority on the inner workings of the pack.

The Heart- often given to an omega in a pack where there is only one omega.

Ommy (Oh-mee or Aw-mee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Usually (but not always) paired with the omega’s name, for example, Ommy Charlie.

Betas

The collaborative protectors. Betas can assist in internal and external problems but also manage relations with other packs, delegating pack responsibilities, and pack resources. Betas have traits of alphas and omegas as well as their own characteristics, and because of this, usually pack responsibilities vary incredibly from beta to beta. Stereotyped as dull and useless.

Defining Traits

Levelheaded

Strong-willed

Titles- 

Pack Link- Given to the top-ranking beta. Usually determined by dedication and attentiveness to the pack and pack issues by the pack leader. Note: Not every pack has a titled Link.

Bebby (Beh-bee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Often (but not always) paired with the beta’s name, for example, Bebby Nico.

Alphas

The external protectors. Alphas handle exterior elements the pack may face such as (but not limited to) outside threats, physical protection, and pack territory. Alphas used to be the main breadwinners of the pack, but as times have shifted, so has this responsibility, and it is now more equally shared among different dynamics. Stereotyped as aggressive and violent.

Defining Traits

Dominant

Protective

Titles

Pack Alpha: Given to the highest ranking alpha in the pack, usually determined by age or time in pack. 

Sentry- A title given to the strongest and/or most trusted alphas by the pack mom or pack leader. In smaller packs, usually only one, in larger packs, up to five. Note: This title has no relevance to hierarchy.

Abby (Ah-bee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Often (but not always) paired with the alpha’s name, for example, Abby Cole.

Notes: 

The title of Pack Leader can be given to any dynamic.

These are the extreme bare bones of dynamics and there will be nuances in the roles a person will have depending on the pack.

.

In omegaverse instead of having a sweet 16 what if we have a more like, coming of age thing ? It can be celebrated on your birthday if you want sure, but it's more a celebration of maturity and development and growth.

Like congratulations on presenting as a beta, here's all your beta family members here to give you gifts and give you hope for the future. Yeah, they'll tell you all about their shared experiences both bad and good about being a beta too don't worry.

I'm sure there are traditional gifts to give as well. Like maybe you're given some sort of how-to guide that covers all sorts of stuff both useful and silly, maybe you're given stuff that's scented by your entire family, maybe you're given your first set of protective clothing to cover scent glands, idk. I'm sure gifts would be different depending on which gender you're presenting as too.

Just some thoughts ig, feel free to add on if you want :3

What are some omegaverse slurs/ curse words

!!!Fair warning!!! The content below may be offensive to some people. Things will get brutal over here, so caution is advised

Towards Alphas:

Knothead- Regarding an Alpha that displays overly confident and douchey behaviour on the sole basis that they have the right because “they are an Alpha”; someone that only thinks with their knot.

ex: Ann was such a nasty knothead. You were right to break up with her. She didn’t deserve you.

Heatstall- Slur designed to demean an Alpha sexually. It implies that the Alpha is so bad in the bedroom that they can even stop an Omega’s heat with their poor attempts. 

ex: Scaring away more Omegas, you pathetic heatstall?

Runt- Designed to demean an Alpha’s strenght and position in the pack. It’s the same as calling them weak, a pack reject or incapable. 

ex: What can you and your runt little ass do about it?

Lose-tie- Designed to demean an Alpha sexually. It implies that their knot is not strong enough to keep a mate attached to them. Can also be used to demean impotent/old Alphas or Alphas who were cheated on or left by their mates. 

ex: Did you hear that Brad’s mate ran away with Mark from the marketing department because he was a total lose-tie? Yikes…

Knotless- Designed to demean an Alpha sexually and socially. Can be used to say that the person in question is not a “real Alpha” in accordance to the mainstream understanding of what an Alpha is and is not, but can also be used to call an Alpha a scaredy cat or a coward. 

ex: Stop being such a knotless little bitch and get in the abandoned house!

Breeder- Used by Betas to shame an Alpha sexually, socially and morally; Used by radical groups that think of Ruts as nothing but behavioural perversions and a catalyst for the regression of society into an uncivilized and “unevolved” state . 

ex: Our daughter will not date a filthy breeder like you!

Cat-pole- Designed to demean Alpha females sexually and socially. It’s a way to mock a female Alpha’s “retractable anatomy” which evokes thoughts of a cat’s claws; also doubles as being an offensive more “subtle” replacement for “pussy-dick”.

ex: Fucking Cat-Pole got between me and an Omega I had my eyes on at the bar. 

Towards Omegas:

Puppymill- Primarily used in the 19thcentury to define Omega prostitutes or brothel madams that would have children and then exploit them (normally sexually) for personal profit. In recent times it’s used to demean an Omega’s status and humanity; Existing for the sole purpose of having pups.

ex: Take your head off the clouds, Omega.You are nothing but a puppymill!

Bitch- No need to comment on this one. However, I do think that it’s much harsher when directed to an Omega in an offensive context, given that this is a direct parallel to female dogs in heat. 

Knot-hole- Same principal of Puppymill, but instead of pups, it’s used to lower the Omega to a status of sex toy; Good only for fucking. 

Breeder- Used by Betas to shame an Omega sexually, socially and morally; Used by radical groups that think of Heats as nothing but behavioural perversions and a catalyst for the regression of society into an uncivilized and “unevolved” state

ex: Omegas are nothing but corrupted Breeders without any decency. 

Puppy-Pooper- Directed at Omega males. Designed to demean them both sexually and socially. Used by people that believe that Omega males shouldn’t have or aren’t as good as Omega and Beta females when it comes to having children due to their anatomy. 

ex: Omega males make me sick. Filthy puppy-poopers should have never existed. 

Pederast- Very old term, rarely used by younger people. Designed to demean Omega males on the basis of their anatomy; derived from radical beliefs that Omega males are a mistake of nature and should be admonished. 

ex: Omega males. Nothing but pederast breeders who run on sexual instinct alone to compensate for their defective nature.

Knotbreaker- Directed at domineering Omegas; Used to describe a bitchy or stuck-up Omega who likes to be abusive and nagging towards Alphas. 

ex: Nah, man. I’d never court Jenna. She’s a real Knotbreaker. 

Switch Heater - (lol sorry for this shitty pun) Used to describe an Omega who likes bothAlphas and Omegas. 

ex: I heard Alan passed his last heat with another Omega from school this time. Seems like he’s a switch heater… 

Knot tease - Pretty much the same as a cock teaser. 

ex: He was a real knot tease. I wish I hadgot his number.

Knot-dropper- Used to demean an Omega (and sometimes Beta) sexually; used to describe someone who was fucked so many times that they can’t even hold a knot inside anymore; Comparable to Slut or Whore. 

ex: Stop that, Mark. We all know that you’ve already got yourself the tittle of knot-dropper throughout the wholecampus. 

Towards Betas: 

Stump- Designed to demean Beta males sexually; Used to say that Beta males don’t have as much of a “weapon” as Alphas have when it comes to size; Usually used by Knotheads and trashy Omegas.

ex: Really Cindy? You turned down my courtship advances to go out with beta stump over there?

Knotless- When directed towards Betas it take on a sexually demeaning connotation on the basis of a Beta’s anatomy. 

ex: Knotless trash has no right to speak here, kid!

Knotcorker- (Br.E) Used mainly towards Beta females, but can be used towards Beta males who are attracted to Alphas; designed to demean a Beta sexually on the basis of their anatomy and the belief that Alphas and Betas should not mate with one another; implies that Betas were not made to take a knot because their bodies is not “designed” to do so. Used mainly by radical people who look down on Betas and non-traditional unions. 

ex: Me? Date a Beta such as yourself? Is that a joke? Scram, knotcorker. 

Crummy- (Mainly Br.E) Used by Omegas (and sometimes Alphas, but mainly Omegas) to demean Beta females; implies that their wombs are not as good or not as “tended to” as an Omega’s because they are a Beta; A womb left to crumbs. 

ex: Really, Alex? You really think that Sarah would take your crummy ass over me? What a joke. 

Knot Block(er) - (A.E) Same connotation of Knotcorker.

ex: Are you nuts? Why would I waste my time courting a knot block? 

Beta tester - Designed to demean a Beta both sexually and socially; It’s used to talk down to a Beta; implies that their relationship with an Alpha/Omega is nothing but a test run for the “real deal”; That a Beta could never actually prosper in a relationship with anyone other than another Beta, because their mates would crave for something more than a “Beta tester”. 

ex: Why don’t you just give up now? You and I know that you are nothing but a Beta tester. Just let me take her out of your hands so she can be taken care of the proper way. 

Not necessarily Dynamics specific: 

Glandless- Referring to a person without tact; someone that cannot pick up on the olfactory cues in the environment they are currently in. 

ex: Dude don’t be such a glandless idiot! Can’t you see that she’s in pain?

Knotlicker - Pretty much the same as slut or whore; can also be used to describe someone who’s a bootlicker to Alphas, expecting some sort of gratification or reward in return. 

ex: Wow, could you be more of a knotlicker?

Knotsucker- Same as cocksucker.

Low-tail(ed)and Neck stretcher- An overly passive person, who never fights back and can even let themselves be abused by strangers or members of their own pack; The person ranking lowest in the pack hierarchy; Someone who’s too afraid to fight back any sort of agression. 

ex: Jesus, Martha. You’re such a pathetic low-tailed idiot.

Turd-Toddler,Turd-bred and Poop baby - Used to insult anyone who’s got an Omega male mother; Derived from the belief that Omega males are inherently filthy and should not have offspring.

ex: You have no moral qualms here. You’re a disgusting Turd-bred low-rated excuse of a human.

Knotshafter- Used to describe someone that takes a lot of knots. 

ex: I think I never met a bigger Knotshafter than you, man. Are you positive you’re not positive? (lol shitty pun, sorry I’m half asleep as I write this).

Overbred- The same as Knot-dropper and Knotshafter.

Necktan(ned) - The same as Low-tail(ed).

ex: You’re in the couch again? Seriously, I don’t know how you don’t get a neck tan with the ammount of time you spend catering to your mate’s hissy fits. 

lol sorry for all the bad puns and lack of creativity. It’s late and my brain is half fried. But I hope this satisfy you and anyone else who was wondering about ABO slurs and insults. It’s also worth noting that this is all according to my verse. So many of these will not work with every single verse. Feel free to take out or add on other words that will cater better to your own verse (or just disregard all of these altogether, idk). Anyway, if anyone feels like adding on to the list feel free to do so. Peace o/

Packs In Practice--Formal Packs

There’s a lot going on with formal packs, but hey… A finite amount of time.  My last day of pack week will be just getting all the stuff I missed.

As I established in yesterday’s post, (here) Formal Packs are packs with hierarchy, legal recognition, and a bunch of advantages similar to the institution of marriage.  Formal packs can be made up in many ways, from your ‘Traditional’ pack to a polyandry that will go down in history—But today we’ll be talking about traditional packs, Duel leader packs, all Beta packs, and Omega lead packs.  

1. Traditional Packs

The traditional pack got it’s name by being, well…  Traditional.  It’s the pack set up most people would assume if you said ’I’m in a Formal Pack.’  It is the most common, though not by much.

A traditional pack consists of an Alpha leader, four Betas, and a single Omega (always mated to the Alpha)

The traditional roles in a traditional pack are of the absolute ruler in the Alpha, an Omega to make babies, and four worker drone Betas (who are probably making babies.)  The omega is not actually at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy in this dynamic, though they do play a more passive role.  

But packs have this common tendency not to be traditional.  Here’s an example of a real (fictional) pack in action.

As you can see here, the Omega is not passive and the Betas all fill different purposes.  Erica is one of the few exceptions to complete cohabitation, but this is an urban pack—You can’t get space big enough for five adults and that many kids.  Even pooling your resources.  

2. Duel Leader Packs

There are two sorts Duel Leader packs: symmetrical and asymmetrical.  (Note that although packs do not need Alphas as leaders, I have chosen them for simplicity)  

2.1— The Symmetrical Pack

The Symmetrical Duel Leader pack has two Alphas who rule equally, both mated to different Omegas who are also equal, with the same amount of Betas under them.  Two Alpha packs can get quite large, but I have chosen to only include six of them.  Symmetrical packs, due to the stability lended by two equal leaders, have higher chances to become legacy packs (absorbing children) than other kind of packs…  If you can find two more people that naturally fall into the ‘Leading together’ dynamic: Not a common thing.

Here is a diagram for a symmetrical pack in action, ft. our friends from the Traditional Pack

2.2 Asymmetrical 

An Asymmetrical pack has two leaders at unequal standing.  The ‘lesser’ Alpha usually has less Betas under him and less authority than Head Alpha.  They are still both mated—That’s a common trend.  

Here is the asymmetrical version of Isabelle and Ryan’s pack.  

As you can see here, Ryan has only two Alphas under him while Isabelle has four (though to be honest, does Gabriel even count?)  Married couples are at equal standing.

I don’t know if I’m going to get the other two done tonight, because I am overextending myself, but I’ll reblog this with All Beta and Omega Lead packs as soon as I can, so check in~

Imagine youtube in the a/b/o universe

Titles like ‘asking my alpha questions omegas want to know 🙈’ or ‘ask a beta- Q&A’

Cringy Youtube couples doing clickbaiting titles like ‘what we did what while I was in heat?? 😳’ or ‘telling my mate I don’t like his scent?? (Bad reaction)

Videos the older generation find too personal and unbecoming of the youth like ‘a tour of my nest!’ Or ‘top ten things to have in heat/rut!’

Helpful videos like ‘how to nest on a budget’, ‘things you should know before you mate’ and ‘things I wish I knew when I had pups’

Videos by the arrogant fuck boy alphas like ‘things omegas do that alphas hate’ or ‘why are omega so clingy?’ Which get clap backed with omega and beta videos like ‘reasons why we don’t want to date you’

ASMR videos for different genders like ‘sounds for soothing omegas 24 hours’ or ‘alpha calming videos’ or ‘satisfying sounds beta addition’

fandoms having complications like ‘zendaya using her alpha energy for five minutes straight’ or ‘icarly best nostalgic pack moments’

even weirder buzzfeed and buzzfeed quiz videos like ‘describe your scent in five pictures and we’ll tell you when you’ll meet your soulmate 😍’

challenge videos like ‘trying not to use my alpha voice for one whole (1) week’ or ‘swapping roles for the day’

The Structure of Pack 1-A

I saw @omega-multiverse​‘s post on formal pack structures here, and it got me thinking about what Class 1-A’s structure would be as a pack, so here we are:

Some parts of this chart are a little confusing so let me explain what’s going on.

Because the pack is so large, it’s been broken down into four sub-packs, with Todoroki, Kirishima, Shoji, and Satou as each sub-pack’s head alphas. This was mainly done to keep order. Thanks to the alphan natural instinct to lead, it would’ve been near impossible for one or two head alphas to keep the other six or five alphas of the pack in line; the pack would’ve collapsed within weeks.

Iida and Yaoyorozu are the head male alpha and head female alpha of the pack. Each sub-pack’s alpha is underneath one of them, while they are on equal standing with one another. They consult each other on pack-wide decisions, and while they have the power to make decisions for anyone in their sub-packs, they normally consult each other on those decisions as well.

For an example of how the structure of power works, take this scenario; Kaminari has received a courting gift from Shinsou, and it has to be decided if Shinsou is a good enough candidate to mate into the pack if the courting is allowed. Because Kaminari is in Kirishima’s sub-pack, it is first Kirishima’s decision. He will consult Kaminari, Sero, Bakugou, Ashido, and Jirou, and then make a decision. If he decides Shinsou isn’t good enough, the courting ends there. If he decides Shinsou is, the decision goes to the head alphas.

If Kaminari was trying to mate with someone in one of Iida’s sub-packs, let’s say Midoriya, the decision would be all Iida’s, as both Kaminari and Midoriya are under him. But because Shinsou is an outsider trying to mate into the pack, the decision must be made by Iida and Yaoyorozu unanimously.

(This is the completely logical progression of this scenerio, but in reality the decision would be mainly left up to Kaminari and Kirishima, Iida, and Yaoyorozu would just agree with his verdict because they’d all think he was the authority on decisions about his own relationships).

As you may have noticed, Jirou is in a special position. Despite being Yaoyorozu’s mate, she’s in Kirishima’s sub-pack. As Yaoyorozu’s alpha mate, Jirou is the third most powerful alpha in the pack, putting her unfairly above the other four alphas. To balance it out, she’s in Kirishima’s sub-pack. This makes it so that while she’s the most powerful alpha under Momo, she’s the third most powerful alpha under Iida. This puts her above Shoji and Satou, but below Todoroki and Kirishima. 2 - 2 = 0, making her relatively on par with every alpha in the pack besides Iida and Yaoyorozu.

Scent gland coverings

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

Wrist coverings

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

Neck coverings*²

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.

Alpha coverings*³

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.
