[possumsinpeoplesuits]

So, every once in a while, I have to rant about something online before I just start blabbing to some poor unfortunate Wendy's employee about niche internet pornography. Sometimes in the middle of that rant I realize I might be onto something, and have to share it with others who might benefit.

Today, that subject is the Omegaverse, and the squandered potential for worldbuilding therein.

Now, this post is gonna have some very broad generalizations about the genre, because while I'm certain there's plenty of authors who do put a lot of thought into the pedantic details I'm about to have a Category 5 Autism Event about, it's been difficult to find them amongst a sea of painfully mediocre fics.

For every stellar Locked Tomb Omegaverse fic set in a modern day Taco Bell (Seriously, I want to engrave Double the Meat onto a satellite and launch it into space so that extraterrestrials can see the peak of human civilization) there's like... a million and one Alpha Male/Omega Female pairings written by Conservative Mormon housewives that dare to ask such questions as "What if a man and a woman could have a baby?" and "What the hell is consent?"

But I'm not here to be mentally ill about yet another space being drowned in heteronormativity. Nor am I gonna be a dick about the first fics written by teenagers who're just dipping into fan communities, because my terminally online since the age of 11 ass would be a huge hypocrite for that.

No, instead I'm here to talk about genitals, and deliver just enough sciencey technobabble to justify my passionate opinions about the potential of what is, ostensibly, werewolf porn.

So, for those who've somehow gotten through all these paragraphs but have zero idea what the Omegaverse is, the basic gist is that there are three sex categories that're separate and occur within the usual sexes that humans already have. Effectively, this means that male, female, and intersex individuals can also be Alphas, Betas, or Omegas.

So, to understand these categories, there's a pretty simple rule. Alphas can get Omegas pregnant, regardless of physical sex. Sometimes Alphas are bigger than normal, and Omegas are more petite, but that's not quite as much of a core "rule" to follow, and more just dependent on people's tastes. Betas usually follow standard human dimorphism, though I have seen some people headcanon them as a sort of halfway point between Alpha and Omega.

There's some more details, too, like the presence of knotting (where the base of the penis swells and prevents pulling out during orgasm), heat cycles and rut (where the mating instinct goes into fucking overdrive in the most literal sense), pheromones, bite marking, and sometimes that whole... imprinting thing from Twilight.

So, taking this all into account... Omegaverse fiction has the potential for a BARE MINIMUM of 6-9 SEXES before even taking the vast spectrum of gender identities and presentations into account.

Do you see what I'm on about now? When our society is still struggling with the concept of being nonbinary, and barely ever even acknowledges intersexuality as existing, any Omegaverse setting would be radically different on a biological, psychological, and sociological level.

Can ya see now why I get frustrated when it gets stripped down to compulsive heterosexuality with wolf dicks?

Now, with all the standard tropes laid out like this, we get back to the question that started this all, the question that should be a no brainer when it comes to smut... What them genitals look like? What does a female Alpha, or a male Omega have down there? I have three concepts in mind, and explanations on how they could work from a scientific perspective that's just barely not bullshit enough to overcome suspension of disbelief!

So, the first thought, and the one that initially appeals to me as a nonbinary person... they just look trans. This concept is really simple to work with, because we can just look at real life trans people and just tweak things a little bit. Maybe primary and secondary sexual characteristics operate independently naturally, or maybe there's HRT for it. It's a pretty common method, too, and I enjoy seeing it... but it feels like it needs something more?

Don't get me wrong, this one's basically my personal gold standard for shorter Omegaverse stories, especially fanfiction, but it's also just... swapping parts around. Great for ease of access, but hard to differentiate from the trans experience. Definitely a go-to if you want to play with transition in an alternate society, though.

For the other two, I have to explain a bit about fetal development and reproductive organ equivalents. Also a bit of genetics, too, because it's where we're gonna fuck around and build a lot of theoretical bullshit around a little bit of real knowledge.

So! Some of you may have heard that every fetus starts as female, but might not know some of the mechanisms at work when that changes, and how finicky they can be. This is also fun to throw at TERFs, because ambiguity throws a wrench in the simplistic arguments of reactionary bigots. :)

So, the usual arrangement of sex determining genes is often simplified to XX=female and XY=male. This leaves out other variations like Klinefelter syndrome (XXY) which affects 1 in 500 people under the AMAB umbrella, causing some degree of infertility, autism symptoms, and a somewhat androgynous body shape. (I've been checked for this one! It came up negative, but reading about it was enlightening.)

Now, the presence of a Y chromosome (usually) causes the proto-organs to change function, and develop into the male-aligned reproductive systems at roughly, say... 6-8 weeks? (Unless, of course, there a deficiency in the 5α-Reductase enzyme, which causes a delay in some of this process, resulting in a child that appears female, then just... grows a dick during puberty when the higher levels of testosterone overcome the deficiency and finish off the primary sexual trait development.)

Hey, wanna know the fun thing? Even that is an oversimplification. The whole Y chromosome doesn't mean shit unless the sex-determining region Y gene is in the right place. It can just... fuck off and attach to the X chromosome. If this mutation occurs in XY individuals, it causes Swyer's syndrome, resulting in a female aligned reproductive system that just doesn't include functioning ovaries, just purposeless ambiguous gonads. Pair that fucky X chromosome with another X chromosome, and you get a male with XX chromosomes.

Plus, if someone has a faulty androgen receptor? Well, partial androgen insensitivity can leave things ambiguous, but if it just doesn't work at all? Yeah, everything will develop along the female blueprint, despite the fact that the gonads are testes.

I swear this is still about the porn.

So, with the information we have about these real, existent conditions, we have a good idea of reproductive development, and the mechanisms at play. Now, there's still some theory that's not been definitively proven yet, but the current consensus on the primary sexual equivalents are as follows:

The clitoris forms into the penis, while the vaginal canal doesn't form.

The ovaries become testes, or stay as undefined gonads.

The salpinx become the vas deferens (these are the tubes that transfer eggs or seminal fluids, respectively. More on this later.)

And finally, and the most theoretical, the uterus is believed to become the prostate. (There's sometimes a little pocket, or divot in the prostate, and the arrangement makes sense, but it's still up for debate.)

But how do we use this for our fuck fics, you ask? How do we take your failed medical career, and translate it into Destiel's babies ever after? Well, it's quite simple! We just have to add the bullshit!

So, most alterations to the SRY gene or the androgen receptor tends to just wholesale alter the whole array, and the midway point usually results in infertility and difficulty with sexual function, but what if we could change this? What if, for the purpose of our fiction, we can mix and match everything, and somehow make it all functional and neat? Well, fasten your fuckin' seatbelts, because we're finally at the theories I made while delirious due to a combination of sleep deprivation and the after effects of eating an entire ice cream cake to myself over the weekend.

So, the firmest idea, and the idea I'll be using because I am WAY too deep into this to not write Omegaverse unironically, is what I've dubbed the Primary/vestigal system for f!A and m!O characters.

So, this theory would require that we shove two things into suspension of disbelief. One, we have to completely fuck with androgen and estrogen receptors to mix and match the development of primary and secondary sexual characteristics. Two, I have absolutely no idea how you'd be able to tell when this is going to occur. Maybe genetic testing, or maybe it's just a surprise? Depends on your style of story.

Effectively, we'd base this off the delayed primary sexual characteristic development mentioned above. Alpha Females would operate similar to the real thing, being born looking typically female, before puberty hits and the Alpha genes take over for the genital development, while secondary characteristics still follow a feminine shape. Maybe the gonads stay inside, but function as testes? Sure, sperm production is more effective around 1-2 degrees lower than normal body temperature, but it doesn't stop entirely.

For Omega Males, the process would occur in reverse. Maybe the testes just change course and go back into the abdomen to become ovaries, or maybe they don't descend at all and the first clue this is happening would just be finding a vaginal canal forming?

I like this one primarily because it feels like a less 1 to 1 allegory for being queer, but still feels kind of relatable? You can, of course, still have the end result resemble the first method mentioned waaaaay up past the sciencey bits, but I kind of like the idea of there being a vestigial remnant of the birth parts left behind. I like the ambiguity, and the chance to explore how this would affect someone appeals to me.

Now, my last theory is mostly for the lulz, but this must be DOCUMENTED for POSTERITY'S SAKE.

So, Omegaverse started with m/m shipping with mpreg, right? Well, a lot of the earlier fiction just... describes typical cis male anatomy, with zero explanation for exactly how this is all occurring. There's just... anal sex, and then that somehow forms babby.

Well, what if I told you that I've figured it out? See, remember how I mentioned that the prostate is theoretically what became of the fetal uterine tissue? Guess where the prostate is? Guess. GUESS.

THE ASS IS WHERE!

So, we just have to bullshit the prostate back into a functioning uterus, but leave the placement in close proximity to the anus. Now, the other problem is that that would mean that there's an opening leading to the colon, which... look, I have no idea how birds and lizards keep their cloaca from getting infected, but connecting other tracts to the asshole doesn't usually end well.

So, we have to find a way to seal it up when not in use. Now, the cervix serves this purpose in the real world, opening to let in fluids, or let out discharge or, y'know... a baby, but that's really expensive so most of us settle for having a breeding kink that we never act on, and instead impose on our favorite blorbos who don't have to pay for health insurance.

But still, even with a butt-cervix, bacteria's still likely to get in, so we need a firmer block. I've suggested a little flap like the epiglottis in the throat as a second line of defense. If it can protect your trachea from wayward chicken nuggets, then hey! It might not be terrible for keeping sepsis at bay!

Unfortunately, layering extra protection over the bussy business zone ain't gonna cut it. Hell, as self cleaning as the vagina is, infections happen all the damn time, even if your hygiene is good. So, we need to take that self cleaning nature, apply it to the bussy business zone, and crank it up to eleven. Just constant mucousal discharge, pushing all the bad back out.

So, yeah. Your favorite Omega Man'll have a rectal womb covered with a secondary internal assflap that's constantly discharging a steady stream of slime (just consider it free lube!), but if you can make it past that, you can live your dreams of gettin' that bussy mpregged by cumming in they gay ass. Then they'd just kinda... poop out the baby, presumably.

So there you have it! Three in-depth explorations of how Omegaverse genitals can work! I'm gonna go take my psych meds and fucking SLEEP.

LGBTQ+ vocabulary - Low Saxon

Now, it is official: Germany voted with 393 Yes and 226 No votes in favor of marriage equality, which we call in German “Ehe für alle” (marriage for all), and the Bundespräsident signed it now. This is a historic moment for Germany and marks the point where we move forward from just tolerance to more acceptance. Hopefully, this will have effects on the German people to be more accepting of other sexual and gender identities and life forms.

In order to do so, here is some vocabulary regarding LGBTQQIP2SAA topics to spread more awareness in Low Saxon, i. e. Low German, the regional language spoken in Northern Germany and the Netherlands. Feel free to add things, to give feedback or to correct me. Low Saxon speakers haven’t been really active in creating new terms for LGBT+ topics, so this is some kind of language development, too, since many of the terms will be coined right now and haven’t been used (yet). So, this is mostly a draft for you and us to work on. It can also be helping to remove discrimination and prejudices since most Low Saxon speakers are living in rural areas where LGBTQ+ topics are mostly seen as something exotic and people are afraid of stranger things and thus still more conservative and homo-/transphobic.

Attributes

(After the comma, the adjective endings are given.) homosexual - homoseksuell, ~e, ~en gay - swuul, swule, swulen  (Side note: The German word “schwul” for “gay” derived from Low Saxon. In Middle Low Saxon the word “swul” meant “sweltry” and the word was borrowed by German and then changed into “schwül” as analogy to “kühl” (cool) which has an umlaut, too, for weather terms. The word “schwul” without the umlaut was then used for “gay” because, in German, gays were associated with being warm, hence: warmer Bruder - a gay companion, lit. warm brother.) lesbian - lesbsch, ~e, ~en bisexual - biseksuell, ~e, ~en transsexual - transseksuell, ~e, ~en asexual - aseksuell, ~e, ~en aromantic - aromantsch, ~e, ~en intersexual - interseksuell, ~e, ~en (some might say: innerseksuell) pansexual - panseksuell, ~e, ~en queer - queer, ~e, ~en; dweer, dwere, dweren; dwars, ~e, ~en (Side note: The English word “queer” actually comes directly from the Brunswick dialect of Middle Low Saxon, meaning “oblique, off-centered”.) LGBT - LGBT or in Low Saxon LSBT same sex - liekslechtlich, ~e, ~en out - “he is out” - “he is out” [What a cognincidence!] (”out” meaning in German “geoutet”; there is no “ge-” in Low Saxon and no “-et” after “-t”) coming out - sik outen, “he came out” - “he hett sik out” -gender (adj.) - (ge)slechtlich, ~e, ~en (many would put ge- in front of it) cisgender (adj.) - cisgender, no adjective endings; cisslechtlich, ~e, ~en genderqueer - slechtsdweer, ~dwere, ~dweren; genderqueer, no endings third-gender - drüddslechtlich, ~e, ~en genderfluid - slechtsvlödig, ~e, ~en; genderfluid, no endings agender/neutrois - unslechtlich, ~e, ~en; agender, no endings androgyne - androgyyn, ~gyne, ~gynen bigender - tweeslechtlich, ~e, ~en; bigender, no endings Female to Male / FTM - Vrouw to Mann / VTM; (Se to He) Male to Female / MTF - Mann to Vrouw / MTV; (He to Se) gender nonconforming - slechtsunstimmig, ~e, ~en; nichslechtsövereenstimmen, no adjective endings gender questioning - slechtsunseker, ~e, ~en; slechts-in-Vraag-stellen, no adjective endings (probably gets paraphrased as “S/he stellt eer/sien Slecht in Vraag,”) non-binary - nichbinäär, ~e, ~en pangender - panslechtlich, ~e, ~en; allslechtlich, ~e, ~en Two-Spirit - een Two-Spirit ween; “tweegeestig”, ~e, ~en monogamous - monogaam, ~game, ~gamen polygamous - polygaam, ~game, ~gamen polyamorous - polyamoröös, ~röse, ~rösen; veelleven, ~e, ~en nonconformist - nichkunfoormistsch, ~e, ~en

Nouns

(After the noun, the genus and the plural forms/endings are given.) boyfriend - de Vründ, Vrünn girlfriend - de Vrünnin, Vrünninnen (When you are referring to your own boy- or girlfriend it is mostly enough to just use Vründ or Vrünnin with the possessive pronoun “mien” in front of it. If you want to put emphasis on it or want to distinguish it from a friend you could use the adjective “vast” with it, meaning “tight or close” friend implicating the boy- or girlfriend: Ik ga mit mien Vrünnin na’t Kino. - Een Vrünnin or dien vaste Vrünnin? - Nee, mien vaste Vrünnin. - I am going to the cinema with my (girl)friend. - A friend or your girlfriend? - No, my girlfriend.) relationship - de “Beziehung” f, ~en (Low Saxon often uses the German word.); de Partnerschapp f, -en triangle relationship - de Dreeecksbeziehung/-partnerschapp f, ~en (sexual) orientation - de (seksuelle) Orienteren f sexuality - de Seksualiteet f, ~teten sex & gender - dat Slecht n, ~er (In Low Saxon there is no strict distinction made between sex and gender. If you want to, you can use dat Gender for gender and dat Slecht for sex.) gender identity - de Slechtsidentiteet f, ~teten rainbow - de Regenbagen f, ~s cross-dresser - de Transvestiet m, ~en; de Transvestietsche f, ~n transgender person - en Transseksuellen m, ~en; en Transseksuelle f, ~n polyamory - Polyamoree f.; Veelleveree f. cis-normativity - de cis-Noormativiteet f. phobia - de Fobie f, ~n (You can put Homo-, Bi-, Trans-, Ace- etc. in front of it.)

Gender-neutral speech

This is a little bit harder in Low Saxon than in English because not only do our pronouns have a genus, but all our nouns have one out of three genera and thus the adjective and article declination, too. A big problem we often face is the generic masculine for person terms like professions where it is usual to take the male form but subsume the female members under it, too. If you don’t give context most people will think of men only hearing a word like “de Studenten” for “the students” even it would also include women (which would be “de Studentschen”). Most of the strategies in Low Saxon will be the same as in German, in this case, for example, to use a double form in speaking “de Studentschen un Studenten” or in writing “de Students|chen”. You could also use the gerund which is ungendered in the plural form “de Studeren” (the studying people), but since Low Saxon has a lot of homophonous morphemes, this is not a good strategy and can be confused with many other words. For the plural formation, however, some nouns can be made gender-neutral by putting the word for “people” behind it: de Koopmann m - the businessman vs. de Koopvrouw f - the businesswoman They have own plurals when there are only males or females, but you can hide the gender by adding -lüüd for people: de Kooplüüd - would be the business people. This is known to German, too, but the extent is much bigger in Low Saxon and I would highly appreciate a more frequent use.

One other advantage that Low Saxon has, is that the articles for male and female nouns are the same, just like the respective relative pronouns, making a gender-neutral sentence easier. Also, the two pronouns for he and she are very similar: “he” and “se”, so one could make use of “s|he” similar to English. (We don’t have an artificial gender-neutral personal pronoun and also no singular-they, however.)

Example: Güstern weer daar een, de … - Yesterday there was someone, who … (Neither the indefinite nor the definite article show a distinction between male and female when they are in the nominative case. So, they can be used to establish gender-neutral sentences, whereas in German the sentence would be: Gestern war da eine, die … or Gestern war da einer, der … for either a male or a female person.) This applies only for the nominative/subject case, however, in the object case, the definite and personal pronouns get different forms for either male or female and they can be used as a pair form: Güstern heff ik een seen. - Yesterday, I saw someone. (This is fine because een (one) never changes.) Güstern heff ik em/eer seen. - Yesterday, I saw him/her. (em means “him” and eer means “her”.) Güstern heff ik de|n seen. - Yesterday, I saw him/her. (Oftentimes, the demonstrative pronouns are used, the object case singular for masculine is den, and the female one does not change and is de. You can either use the orthographic method of writing it de|n or a double form den/de.)

Hungarian LGBT vocabulary

Keep reading for the entire collection. This is a really long post.

Words for sexual orientation*:

leszbikus - lesbian; plural: leszbikusok leszbikusság - lesbianism meleg - gay (lit.: warm) plural: melegek; this is used for gay men, but a gay woman can also call herself meleg, but most gay women call themselves leszbikus homoszexuális - homosexual; plural: homoszexuálisok homoszexualitás - homosexuality

biszexuális - bisexual; plural: biszexuálisok biszexualitás - bisexuality aszexuális - asexual; plural: aszexuálisok aszexualitás - asexuality pánszexuális - pansexual; plural: pánszexuálisok  pánszexualitás - pansexuality

hetero - hetero/straight; plural: heterók  note: I have absolutely no idea if it’s written as hetero or as heteró. I’ve seen both versions, though. heteroszexuális - heterosexual; plural: heteroszexuálisok heteroszexualitás - heterosexuality szexualitás - sexuality szexuális orientáció - sexual orientation

* Hungarian adopted the English words and made them sound Hungarian. That’s it. Not all orientations have been ‘translated’ yet, so if want to you say you’re e. g. demiszexuális (demisexual), people familiar with the English term will understand what you mean. Most Hungarian LGBT members know these terms.

-sexual -> szexuális -sexuality -> szexualitás

Words for romantic attraction**:

** I have never heard anyone use Hungarian terms for romantic attraction. But, as I mentioned before, Hungarian doesn’t bother making foreign words actually Hungarian, so, if you want to express your romantic attraction, here’s what you do: replace “-romantic” with “-romantikus” e. g. “biromantic” turns into “biromantikus” and “homoromantic” into “homoromantikus”

Words for sex and gender:

nem - sex, gender; Hungarian doesn’t have two different terms, therefore most people use the English terms also means ‘no’ (a) nemem - my gender/ my sex biológiai nem - sex

interszexuális - intersexual nemi identitás - gender identity transz(nemű) - trans(gender); plural: transzneműek/transzok hormonterápia - hormon therapy androgün - androgynous, also: an androgynous person személyes névmás - personal pronoun; Hungarian doesn’t have ‘he’ or ‘she’, only ‘ő’, which is a gender neutral pronoun

nem-bináris - non-binary (lit.: not binary) gender fluid - pronounced as / 'ɡɛndɛɾ fluid/  not  /dʒendə( r) ˈfluːɪd/

az ellenkező nem - the opposite sex ellenkező nemű - someone of the opposite sex; plural: ellenkező neműek az azonos nem - the same sex azonos nemű - someone of the same sex; plural: azonos neműek férfi - man; plural: férfiak fiú - boy; plural: fiúk nő - woman; plural: nők lány - girl; plural: lányok

Words for relationships:

monogámia - monogamy poligámia - polygamy

barát - boyfriend; also: male friend - depends on context; plural: barátok A barátom - my boyfriend AZ EGYIK barátom - one of my male friends side note: usually when you want to say ‘barát’ as in boyfriend, you say ‘a barátom’, instead of ‘az egyik (one of many) barátom’ But of course, ‘a barátom’ can still mean just a friend. We Hungarians don’t always get it either.

Names which’s last vowel is one of these: E É I Í Ü Ű Ö Ő, get the -be suffix. Names which’s last vowel is one of these: A Á U Ú O Ó, get the -ba suffix.

Warning! Cuss words below

buzi - faggot; mostly used for gay men most commonly used for gay people. Most Hungarians use this instead of meleg (gay). Let me tell you why this is a really serious problem: instead of saying “Volt egy tanárom, aki meleg volt” - “I had a teacher who was gay”, people say “Volt egy tanárom, aki buzi volt” - “I had a teacher who was a faggot” This is the most common way in Hungarian to say gay (a lot of foreign movies and books mentioning the word ‘gay ‘are translated like that!). It is a problem, because people associate LGBT+ people with negative thoughts because they are called by a cussword. Moreover, nowadays it is also used as a synonym for ‘asshole'. 

“Ez akkora buziság!” - “That’s so gay!” - with the difference that literally it would be “This is so faggot-like!” “Mekkora buziság már ez!” - “That’s so very gay!” - with the difference that literally it’d be “This is so very faggot-like!”

köcsög 1) jar; 2) a synonym for ‘asshole’; 3) with regard to LGBT, literally meaning asshole, as in, a man who is fucked by another man. A man saying someone is his köcsög means that guy is someone/the one he fucks.

faszszopó - dicksucker; used as a synonym for ‘asshole’. I don’t know if dick is a cuss word in English or not, but ‘fasz’ is a rude way of saying penis in Hungarian. Used for men.
