Beta Behaviour in Misceanimalis/Misceverse

As many others I have noticed that Betas tend to get ignored in this community, and are just labelled as “normal” or essentially dynamic-less or at best as neutral soothers. If you identify this way all power to you, however I have decided to establish my own headcanon of behaviour that personally resonates for the Betas in our system, and seemingly another Beta outside of it. If this resonates for you too, I would love to know. :) I hope this brings you joy and affirms your identity.

General Temperament

Like the current understanding, I also believe there is a level of cool-headedness and deep focus to be at the core of a Beta’s instincts. However one of the most important aspects about Betas in terms of pack dynamics is their desire to establish wider territory. Alphas and Omegas have been established in the past as homemakers, homebodies that stay indoors and den and nest and create one safe haven. However I believe that Betas are very different in that they crave going outdoors and being aware of who is in their surroundings and the territory that they have set in their mind. Betas are prone to cabin fever levels of annoyance at being indoors but doing things like opening windows can improve their overall mood.

What Betas do instead of Nesting or Denning

Typically Betas do not nest or den but instead do an activity known as “Sprucing” where they will go into established pack homes (or their own if they do not have a pack) and adjust things. Unlike Omegas whose main goal in nesting is comfort and Alphas whose main priority is security when denning, Beta sprucing behaviour is based around ease of access and maintaining order amongst the chaos.

Sensory Seeking Behaviour and Beta Senses

Betas in general crave a specific type of contact known as deep pressure, and have particular parts on their body which are more sensitive to this contact or that they like to be squished. In one specific spot it can help a Beta get into headspace and it is similar to scruffing but not quite as scruffing is about going loose and unaware. However Beta headspace is focused in and is cool and calm. Betas love weighted blankets and any sort of soft weighted object with which they can comfort themselves with. A Beta's sense of smell is not as strong but they are more sensitive visually and hearing wise, which aids them with their outside and wider territory protection and maintenance instincts.

Beta to Beta Interactions

Betas are great together and often tend to go in groups. While it is unusual to see a pack formed purely of one dynamic, it is possible for Betas to form a cohesive pack. One of the most important behaviours that Betas do with each other is called linking where Betas will get in a very tight hug with each other so every body part is touching. They will then gently squeeze each other and hum to each other to express their joy. It is a social taboo to separate Betas during this time as they are both vulnerable and protective of each other. Betas also enjoy holding parts of other’s body parts in their mouth such as an arm, a hand or a finger and lightly bite down. It helps them feel secure and is a soothing behaviour. This is not Beta to Beta exclusive but is often performed with other Betas.

Beta Cycle

Betas experience a cycle commonly known as Ardor that lasts anywhere from three days to a week. During this time they feel cold, need extra pressure and feel contained by being inside. They don't like to be inside and they need to patrol their territory for a long time which can lead to exhaustion and fatigue so often their pack need to help them (usually other Betas walking with them) or help them warm up with a nice warm bath or letting them organise things and giving those deep pressure hugs and lots of linking. Their behaviour during this time is restless and they are very distressed if unable to confirm the safety of the territory. At the end of Ardor once a Beta is satisfied truly with their territory they will attempt to find a partner to be with. However the majority of Ardor is non-sexual and is instead focused on the safety of the group. Some Betas do not feel the sexual urges at all.

I was talking to my beta packmate earlier and she was like “you know it spins like you’re about to go into heat right?” (paraphrasing but still).

She’s right (she usually is when it comes to me), I didn’t even realize it.

I just hope it comes later than she anticipated because I don’t want to do medical stuff while that’s happening.

　 　　 　 welcome to the playplace !

we're an 18+ system (TRAUMAGENIC ONLY) + misceverse server ran by 2 queer poc systems. we are, first and foremost, a sfw server. while we are aware that misceverse can be nsfw, this server primarily focuses on the pack aspects. we have packmate, sourcemate, AND friend finder channels!

our primary goal is to allow misceverse individuals to have a safe place to yammer about misce things. as someone who recently realized they identify w misce, i realized very quickly that there were pretty much no communities for it, and the only one i did see was 16+ which... well. that's strange! so, i made this server.

we have a nice verification system that usually lets people in within an hour or less, and while we do have rules, they're very easy to follow and relatively minimal. we have boundry roles to make things comfortable for everyone, and designated channels for triggering conversations, nsfw, and more. our primary focus is making sure everyone is comfortable!

join us today ! we'd love to have you!

Just had like a massive urge to clean and fix my nest that I’ve not really had before. Maybe it was the mental shift of thinking of the space from a bed to a nest?

Regardless I don’t usually have the energy to clean but my brain was not happy with the situation and suddenly gave me the energy to fix it. Not going to complain but it’s weird that the nesting urges came in really strong this morning.

Okay, Finally spent the time to get the blog set up and the asks open. Had to take a nap after work for my sleep schedule and then got distracted with other things. I’ll post more tomorrow, probably.
