Pack Headcanons:

Legally:

In my verse packs are considered more a social thing than a legal thing. Though there would be some legal things involved. Such as sharing finances; (similarly to marriage) pack members would have shared finances and get “pack benefit” checks. Used primarily for time taken off work for reproduction cycles. Sadly an incentive for lone omegas to join a pack. Beyond finances pack members would get a say in medical care if one is unable to make their own decisions. As well as being legal guardians of any pack children.

A pack cannot exceed 21 members. This rule was set in place after someone tried to register their cult as a pack .

Legally you aren’t allowed to be a member of more than one pack. With the only exception being work packs. Packs formed most commonly with high stress jobs; firefighters, doctors, dispatchers, etc. Though can be formed by any group of coworkers. Designed to help people do better at their jobs as well as strengthen bonds between coworkers. A work pack head isn’t allowed to fire a pack member without explicit admission from every other member.

Socially:

Members of a certain pack will usually wear the same type of bracelet. Most commonly metal engraved with a pack saying or emergency contact number.

In high school kids are assigned to fake packs (and use friendship bracelets) to help learn about pack dynamics. Once in a while these fake packs be becoming real packs after the kids graduate.

Traditional

Originally packs were often generations of families living together. The pack head would fall to the oldest alpha. Who would have finally say on everything. Including potential mates of other pack members. Leaving your pack (other than for mating) was unheard of.

Other packs of these times were entire villages of people which were even more hierarchy based. There’d be one alpha pack head but alphas would be a step above betas and omegas.

Modern

As times went on pack structures changed. For an awhile you weren’t allowed to legally form a pack without at least one alpha as pack head but now-days the role of pack head could be filled by anyone. This started a trend of what are called “mono-packs” packs where all the members are only one dynamic.

All beta packs being the most common as betas are generally better at conflict resolution and can better understand each other’s sensory issues concerning smell.

All alpha packs are seen by social standards as impossible due to alpha‘s aggressive nature but they do exist. These packs take more communication than most though.

All omega packs in some circles are called “alpha slander” but their formation rarely to do with alphas and more to do with the shared experience of heats. Omegas are more naturally caring and help each other through heats (not in the sexual way at least most of the time).

Usually a persons first pack is their family followed often by a frat/sorority. Some people don’t have a pack at all though this often frowned upon.

No safety. No food. No aid. No water. No healthcare. No education. Is this what it means to live? Is this what world accept as life?

If a group of animals were trapped, starved, and cut off from the world like this, people would be outraged. But because it's us—human beings—somehow, the world looks away.

These are unbearable days. Everything feels heavy. Each hour presses on my chest like I’m being suffocated.

My family needs urgent help.

Basic survival has become nearly impossible. Bread—just bread—now costs over $25 a day to make.

We are not asking for luxury. We are begging for life.

Please, if you’re reading this: help. Reblog this post. Talk about us. Donate if you can. Even a small act can mean everything right now.

Help share the plea of a transgender Sudanese woman living in a refugee camp!

hi all, i'm sure those of you following have been seeing me make various posts about @muhshinmagala1tranz 's situation and how it changes as time passes. since the situation continues to evolve, i wanted to lay a baseline and just explain to the best of my ability the group's broader struggles. this post may be marked as mature, as the last big post was, so please help if you can by giving this a reblog before staff decides to destroy the traction this post may get.

i hope illustrating these issues will perhaps persuade those reading to give a reblog. before i go any further, i will link the gofundme and magala's site that my brother and i helped make:

so, as many of you may know, i have been talking with magala for several months now, and things have been terrible for her and her group. their larger group is much bigger, but she and her lgbt siblings make up about 34 people now. resources like food, water, mattresses, pads, soap, mosquito nets, and so on are tight, and jobs are hard to come by due to the violent descrimination they face in living their lives as transgender and gay people, because bigots won't hire them. magala once asked me if i believed that they deserved to exist, just because they're trans, after her friend had been visciously attacked and beaten nearly to death. it broke my heart. their ultimate goal is to move to a camp two countries away that has many more lgbt people and a much kinder and less violent climate, but they need money to do that, at least $2000, and that is money that could go to helping their camp members various ailments. it's especially difficult with how much they're struggling to meet their most basic of needs right now.

as of now, their group is comprised mainly of sick and injured people, many of whom need surgery or medical intervention and can't afford it. several of them are very ill with no discernable cause, and they can't get help because there is simply no money. many of them have chipped or broken teeth, or jaw injuries from being beaten, as assaults and beatings are extremely common. this is to say nothing of camp life, which sometimes includes raiders visiting and stealing what little they have, and abducting people. the other day magala showed me her own false teeth, which she had to get after she was beaten badly, and now her jaw is extremely painful to use and cracks when she opens her mouth. five members are HIV positive and NEED the medicine, but also food and water to take it with. a child of one of her camp members has cancer, and needs a $5000 surgery. for those watching my posts, magala's friend was just kicked out of a hospital after she was nearly beaten to death by a group of transphobic people, all because they couldn't meet the funds, and if i hadn't been here as her security net, she and her friend would have literally gone to jail. and her friend is STILL injured and STILL almost died, with no help. the police shaved off magala's beautiful hair as well. what i'm trying to say here is that if i and my friends were not here during that event, there would be no campaign because she would not be here to speak to us or fend for her group. please don't leave magala alone and relying on only one or two people, and her group relying on only her! this is what the LGBT community is FOR, supporting and helping one another and boosting the voices of those being run down.

a reblog takes half a second, and makes a world of difference!

^^^ these are some of the people with HIV, some of the people who need medical intervention they can't afford, and some of the people sick with something they can't even identify. the last image is the boy with cancer. you can see what it's doing to his body.

magala risks a lot to try to get these photos to us so we can see what she's going through - some people attack her for daring to take photos of them or around them, or of her own situation, and in some places photos are entirely forbidden. she is begging people to just listen to her story -- if you want to verify it yourself, you can message her, right here on tumblr. she's a wonderfully kind woman, doing her best to lead her fellow lgbt siblings in am impossible climate of intolerance.

i know people rarely read these posts in full these days, but if you did, thank you, so, so much. please spare a reblog, donate $5 if you can... this is an extremely difficult situation and right now she's weathering this storm almost entirely alone. and if this story moves you and you want to help further, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to her. we need help wherever we can get it, especially in spreading this post and finding people who can help with that. we also need help in being able to cross post to different platforms like tiktok, which would be amazing, and is something i just can't do on my own as one disabled person on tumblr. i really want my friend to not have to live in fear that the next day is her last.

thank you again, so much, from the bottom of my heart.

If there’s no flashback scene in squid game s3 of Thanos and Nam-gyu making out sloppy style in the bathrooms I’m getting up and leaving. I don’t have time for tomfoolery.

Was going to draw Nam-gyu as Rabie Baby (my queen) but got lazy. Also I might draw In-ho and Gi-hun as Dogday and Catnap later

I wish people would learn to tell the difference between YouTubers that are mostly themselves online and those who are playing characters. It used to be common for them to play characters back in the day. The Angry Video Game Nerd is one example. James Rolfe was never himself as the AVGN. He was a fictional character. It's why he's consistently referred to as "Nerd" in universe instead of James and why he doesn't know who Mike Matei is.

YouTube got lazy and people stopped creating distinct characters over time, just presenting a "public persona" of themselves, but Life of Luxury is different.

Here's the thing, the Luxury videos are fiction. They are not gaming channels or reaction channels. Nothing they show on their channels are real. Their reactions aren't real. Their personalities aren't real. Though the fact they decided to just use their real names is annoying. Still, they're far from the first guys to just leave their name as is when presenting fiction. It was common with older shows - think Lucille Ball, for example, or Bob Newhart.

How do you explain Life of Luxury Chester is a coward and Luxury Dark Chester is clueless? Or that Life of Luxury Parker is overly involved yet dedicated but Luxury Dark Parker is forever annoyed and done with it all?

Even these two versions are different characters. That's why I usually write either Life of Luxury versions of them or Luxury Dark versions of them. Sin & Sinners was a Luxury Dark fic, Claimed & Collared was a Life of Luxury fic.

When people ship Parkster, they're not necessarily shipping RPF. They might be, if they're writing about a couple of goofy YouTubers, but the vast majority I've seen treat the source material as real. They're writing the characters. If the demons are real in their fics, the characters are as fake as the demons, it's okay to write about them.

I've seen one people claim that they're queer baiting for views a few times. That's another fallacy. Are IRL Parkster boning? Well, maybe, who knows. But Life of Luxury Chester is definitely in love with Parker and that was a purposeful decision that they made. Even if nothing ever comes out of it, they're not tricking their audience or whatever, they're just playing out a fictional story that happens to include an unrequited love plotline played for laughs.

Now here's the thing: I actually am not against RPF. It's not something I actually enjoy or consume though I did in my early teen years. And to be honest, a lot of RPF is still about "characters" because most public personas for famous people are characters in their own right. But no matter the debate on the morality of RPF, I'm holding to the point that people shouldn't accuse anybody of shipping real people just because they like Parkster. There are so many layers of Parkster and very little of it is true RPF.
