alphas being tender with their new pups. alphas scenting their newborn pups face-to face, nose to nose, chuffing softly. alphas enamored with their new little one. alphas’ scents going soft and warm and bright when their pup is nearby. alphas who live for their families, who love their friends and other people of course, but who feel no greater joy than when they’re cleaning their little one’s face after a meal or curled up with their mate. alphas at home surrounded by love and safety and feeling the joy and relief of being able to give of themselves to lift their loved ones up.

Omegas never laying on their backs, and always sleeping curled up to protect their necks and stomachs, except when they’re very secure in their nests or around very close packmates. If an Omega relaxes and shows you their belly, it’s a big display of comfort and trust, and it can sometimes be a display of submission from any of the dynamics.

I have no clue if someone has ever asked this before, but do you have any headcannons for repressed Omegas? Like, literally anything on how they would react, because that trope is just *chefs kiss* to me. It can stand for some many things and I am absolutley feral about this :)

Honestly, I don't know where to even start. I'll just give you some random headcanons. I ain't gonna lie, I'm not really fond of this headcanon. Not because it's not interesting, it's just cause it usually stems from the fact that the Omega has been traumatized.

Nesting isn't natural to them. When they go into heat or are pregnant, they are mostly in bed or on the couch. They are anxious though, mostly because they need to nest but don't know how.

They don't scent. This also causes them to have a fever. If they can't release certain phermones, they'll get sick for bottling it up.

They probably avoid other Omegas. It's not they hate them or don't want to be around them, they just feel lost around them.

I can see them going mute if they struggle with making their regular crooning or purring noises.

They are actually almost about to go feral.

So, I don't know what else to add. Lol. If anyone with a bigger brian than I, please feel free to share!

Alphas love wearing socks. They’re naturally quite cold, so socks help keep the warmth within.

Omegas naturally will try to make their hair look a bit shaggy. Just because it makes their heads feel cooler as omegas are naturally warm

Because of Betas’ sensitivity to smell, they scrunch their noises often, especially to newer smells

Alphas are very good at climbing trees due to their need to scent above spaces

Omegas are actually the best swimmers out of the dynamics and many are inclined to water!

Betas have a knack for walking for hours and hours without needing to stop

Omegas talk with their hands a lot

Alphas nose a lot of things, even more so than Betas and their whole thing is their noses!

Alphas are natrually docile at times of rest and in this state they usually will be like a golden retriever

Pups blow their cheeks up natrually to try and appear more threatening

Betas teeth are the most sensitive and so you’ll often see them taking more careful bites than the other dynamics

Omegas are more often likely to chirp and call at random things because it’s easier than talking

Alphas feet are quite heavy when they walk and many are self conscious about that

Pups whenever they rub noses with individuals (nose tapping) will often remember the distinct motion of that person. This is because of paternal/maternal bonding

I've seen the idea of scruffing. And that it only works in omegas and some betas.

Y'know me...

Alphas absolutely melt if their partner does that. It's less about submissiveness and more about trust and comfort. Just the right pressure and you got yourself a purring alpha falling asleep on your lap like a giant pup that needs their rest.

It's ineffective when they're in rut or close to it, and when they're in parent mode – aka they have little ones, biologically theirs or not. And they might get aggressive if you try to scruff them when they're nesting with pups (a traditional nest, pillows and such, or the alpha nest, aka the alpha curling up around their cub to keep them safe and warm and hidden against the sturdiness of an alpha's. Myth says alphas are large and strong to be dominant, biology says alphas are large and strong to keep their cubs safe – safe and warm when their omegas were out hunting).

think about how many people took up knitting or crocheting to make things for the omegas in their lives

or omegas who stress knit and nest in it while they’re knitting it. they end up making so many things that their packmates tell them “this is the eighth in six months you have ENOUGH”

talk to me about feral omegas !!! omegas fighting alphas when another omega goes into heat !!! omegas defending their "territory" !! nesting omegas ready to bite anyone who enters their room !!

i'm tired of hearing about docile omegas, they're care takers they should be ready to fight at the drop of a hat !!

I am 100% for feral omegas! just chaos bringing omegas.

Omegas that are there to cause problems if you cross their boundaries!

I am a huge fan of Omegas growling when upset. I think it would probably be an uncommon thing just because omegas are treated in a certain way BUT that means that when it happens it is so much more shocking!

I'm thinking about older omegas that watch out for their younger counterparts. Like in a mall if an omega is distressed, a friendly feral grandma omega shows up to growl at people getting in the distressed omega's space.

I love the idea of omegas as caretakers but not passive! Omegas that break into their friend's house to drop off nesting supplies all the while being like "You have shit nesting stuff here you go also im going to be on your couch to make sure no one bugs you okay".

Thinking about omegas that scent mark everything they touch like possessive little monsters. You cannot lend them clothes unless you accept that they will return them completely covered in their scent.

My personal favourite type of feral adjacent omega is kinda bratty and mean but I also love the idea of aggressively supportive and caring feral omega.

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.

Omegaverse Head cannon:

I'm probably not the first person to ever thought of this.

We're all familiar with omegas being docile, submissive and release hormone during their heat. However there's gonna be a rare case, where an omega is having too much stamina during their heat. The only time they stop or slow down is when they're exhausted.

Like sitting on top of their partner and hump that D like there's no tomorrow.

[miscellaneous things that either didn’t fit in the other posts; i didn’t think of them in time; or i didn’t have enough of to group them together. will likely add to this in reblogs~]

Suppressants — Available in pill, shot, or intravenous form, listed in order of how strong each effect is. This blocks the hormones which cause heats / ruts. Doctors recommend going off of them for once cycle every two years. Not doing so is unhealthy and can lead to problems, including stress cycles or infertility.

Scent Patches / Blockers — A small, circular patch applied over the gland. These are usually wafer thin and nearly translucent on the skin, but can be thicker depending on the need. These block a person’s scent. How much depends on scent strength. If someone is particularly stressed they can “burn” through the patch, and cause it to lose its effectiveness. These can cause irritation if worn for too long.

Scent Concealer — An oil or powder applied directly to the scent gland. This changes or mingles with the natural smell to work as either a blocker, enhancer, or even to present as a different dynamic. Some will also use it if they have an “unpleasant” smell.

Sympathy Cycles — Sometimes when a packmate goes into heat or rut, their other, same-dynamic packmates will join them. This is especially common around just-presenting pups, or if someone is experiencing a stress cycle. A sympathy cycle can also trigger around a stranger. (And sometimes pups will have sympathy cycles with a parent or packmate they’re close to.)

Stress Cycles — When someone experiences a great upheaval or stress, they can be catapulted into heat/rut. It’s thought that this is meant to call/rally pack to comfort or protect someone. It may also happen to attract pack, if someone has gone without one for too long.

Feral — Like a stress cycle, a feral state is triggered by great upheaval or stress. It’s more likely if the stress is life or pack-threatening, or caused by overwhelm. Some people are more likely to go feral / go feral more regularly. Some people never experience a feral state. Instinct takes over completely. Someone who is feral can usually be coaxed from the state by a packmate—but packless people require more special care.

Heat / Rut Houses — Sometimes people will have, or want to experience, a fertile cycle without a partner to share it with. Heat/rut houses were built for that purpose. Some heat/rut houses are purely medical; for fertile cycles triggered on accident, by stress, or for health reasons. Others are purely for the pleasure of it. These may be legal or illegal depending on location / the standards of the time.

[beta-adjacent]

Traumatized late teens/young adult alphas and having really extreme scents (like, to the point of causing dizziness to others when they're triggered or stressed)

I think that’s a really interesting idea to explore. I love omegaverse concepts that favor societal empathy like this.

One idea I’d like to consider is how differently trauma can affect scent, because not everyone has the same fear responses. Maybe there are some with oversaturated scents, consistently making people err on the side of caution because that alpha is always on edge. Or maybe there are some really nullified scents, where no one can tell what the alpha is thinking or feeling, because they’ve been taught to shut out those emotions. Or maybe there is no scent change, but the traumatized alpha is now hypersensitive to the smell of other people.

And how can people support an alpha whose scent is so saturated and so stressed? It’s a lot of emotional burden to bear, even when you’re just a stranger passing by. I’d love to read a story that dives into how mental health is addressed in omegaverse, especially in a situation that pairs the mind with the dynamic/body

going feral

i’ve mentioned feral alphas and omegas in a few posts before, but what does that mean? this post will discuss ferality,* its causes, common feral behaviors, and treatment.

*note: i will be using ‘ferality’ as opposed to the technically proper ‘ferity’ because the latter is based on the latin root and sounds pretentious, and the former is based on the english word and is more accessible

what is ferality?

ferality is a medical emergency caused most commonly by social isolation. it causes those afflicted to behave erratically, and is the most common cause of forced bites. it is one of the top ten causes of death for those over 80 years old. it is also called ‘loneliness disease’ or ‘bite fever,’ and is often euphemistically described as ‘losing oneself.’ in the past, more than a week of ferality was incurable. today, synthetic hormones and careful medically supervised management leads to over 90% of those afflicted to make a full recovery if treated before one week, and over 80% to regain most normal function if treated before two weeks. outcomes become less positive the longer someone experiences ferality, but there have only been 1,762 documented deaths directly from ferality in the US since 1980.

why does it happen?

humans in the omegaverse are pack animals not only because their ancestors saw practical advantages to living, hunting, and raising pups in groups, but because they were biologically dependent on one another. in simplest terms, interacting with pack aids the body in maintaining its optimal balance between the twelve dynamic (i.e., alpha, beta, and omega) hormones. prolonged lack of social support means that these hormones become unbalanced, leading the body to a state of multi-system disregulation.

ferality greatly reduces people’s access to the areas of the brain responsible for decision making, planning, empathy, and abstraction. it is the body’s desperate bid to regulate itself by any means necessary. those afflicted become impulsive, aggressive, and violent in some cases, so it is essential both for the afflicted person and those nearby that if you spot a feral person, you call emergency services immediately.

how do you spot it?

feral humans are fairly easy to spot based on their unusual, erratic, impulsive behavior. they may sniff the air (or other people) unsubtly, grab or touch things (or people) and fail to respond to spoken language. ferality is most commonly associated with inappropriate scent marking and biting for good reason: a feral person’s primary drive is to share scent with someone to help bring themselves back into balance. there are also some behaviors that can generally be attributed to the different dynamic sexes:

alphas

feral alphas tend to make aggressive eye contact as a posturing behavior

growling, snarling, and clicking at no one in particular

clenching and unclenching the fists and shifting from foot to foot

violence, especially toward other alphas

an acrid scent, like burning rubber or sulfur

betas

feral betas’ eyes tend to shift rapidly, settling on nothing for very long

humming, clicking, huffing at no one in particular

similar to alphas, they clench and unclench the fists and shift from foot to foot

general restlessness, moving quickly

climbing and perching inappropriately (e.g. on tables, vehicles, or buildings)

a rotting scent, like old meat or milk

omegas

feral omegas tend to make glancing eye contact—they meet someone’s eyes, hold, and look away several times

whining, purring, and clicking at no one in particular

baring the neck indiscriminately in a bid to entice a bite

hiding/burrowing (e.g. under tables or in closets. there have been several cases of feral omegas in clothing stores nesting in the clothing racks)

a chemical scent, like bleach or ammonia

how is it treated?

if you spot someone afflicted by ferality, it is essential to call for an ambulance immediately.

treatment begins in the ambulance. typically, EMS technicians anesthetize the individual for everyone’s safety. once it is safe to do so, the technicians draw blood and begin measuring vital signs and hormone levels to ensure that the individual truly is feral. in the past 30 years, rapid tests have made measuring hormone levels faster than ever. these levels are recorded and passed off to hospital triage, along with a record of any emergency hormones administered.

the hospital then brings the individual to the feral ward, where they have an individual room and nesting material marked with synthetic pheromones of all three dynamics. if the individual has been feral for less than ~three days, typically this is enough to trigger their body to begin regulating itself. in some cases, the individual may need direct scent marking in order to jumpstart regulation. if it’s necessary, a nurse or technician will swab the individual’s face and neck with a cotton swab soaked in a synthetic pheromone solution.

in more moderate to severe cases, the individual may need further assistance regulating themselves. in these cases, the individual will receive intravenous hormones and extremely frequent monitoring.

typically, after a few days of hormone therapy, the individual’s body will have reached a state of equilibrium and will be able to maintain the balance itself again. however, in some severe cases, the individual’s body may be unable to maintain the balance. these people will need hormone therapy every other week indefinitely. in some cases (especially those where there is also malnutrition or other severe condition), the issue will resolve itself with time. in others, the hormone treatment is for life.

how is it prevented?

the best prevention is maintaining healthy pack bonds. if, for some reason, this is inaccessible, clinics, health departments, and hospitals typically have nesting materials marked with synthetic pheromones. in the past five years, some nesting material companies have begun offering materials marked with synthetic pheromones. in addition, matching agencies sometimes offer scent-marked clothing or nesting materials for sale, though this practice is judged fairly harshly.

[omegaversetheory]

Can omegas play in major/national sports leagues? or would it only be alphas and betas that can play?

No, they can certainly play, although it would depend on which type of omegaverse (read; time period) you are working in.

Sports leagues are normally broken up either by primary gender or by some specific collection of hormone, weight, height, strength parameters. In the latter option, and unlike the real world, if your parameters change, you can be eligible to play in a different league.

Though dynamic alone plays no part, if a player is good enough and meets the league's requirements, they will be accepted.

[omegaverse-seeker]

What are the main symptoms of a pregnant omega?,

Other than the regular pregnancy symptoms?

Nesting, but to the extreme. Making nests everywhere, needing a bunch of materials for said nests, etc.

Needing their mate's scent on or around them at all times. Of course, the best thing is from the source.

They are overprotective over their mates, family, and pack members.

They become a homebody. Some outliers go out more, but even then they want someone they know with them.

If it isn't obvious, I think many of the Omegas would be clingy. Not just towards their mate, but ONLY people they trust.

Their scent heightening and maybe getting powdery.

That's all I can think of right now.

A/B/O and racial stereotyping (?)

Tw racism

dynamic discrimination and racial discrimination seems like such an annoyance to deal with???

Im Native Asian, and brown, and the amount of racism I’ve faced is so annoying ESPECIALLY from family members (lol transracially adopted moment) is just so tiring.

I can’t really imagine what would it be like if you pit dynamic discrimination with it..And would the dynamics change the stereotypes? Dunno, but it’s a head scratcher (I know for me, I have this in my verse more or less figured out.)

I actually have a lot of things I wanna talk about on here, I have thoughts/‘headcanons’ (I don’t know if that would be the proper term. Nor do I wanna use it a lot for this sort of thing.) on this prompt specifically even…but I fear of “ruining the vibe,”

Sure totally. I have some content on that if you search omegaxomega or something along the lines of that.

Though I think pregnancy might be harder to achieve.
