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.

Hello !! Can I& have some resources // links to educate myself& on the misceverse ? We're really curious about it and would like to learn more .

hi hi ! sorry it took me so long to answer ! this isn’t a super great answer (so sorry), but i actually don’t have any links or external sources for misceverse😭 i did all my personal learning and exploration through tumblr and other people’s accounts! scrolling the misceverse tag definitely helps, and if you have any idea of how you might identify, looking at blogs who identify similarly as well! if you look through my tag “honey answers” you can find my long responses to specific questions, and hopefully those help! if you have any specific questions i’m so so happy to answer those too! <33

[nestinqomega]

i’m honored to be recommended!!! if that anon sees this, feel free to check out my “honey answers” tag where i’ve explained some stuff about the misce community! and if u have any more questions pls don’t be afraid to ask <33

Bed nests are typically constructed with a barrier of pillows along the edges of the mattress or cushion, then blankets or sheets are laid atop the mattress and pillow barrier to create a base. Platform blankets, which are designed to be flat in the center and flare out around the edges, are perfect for making a bed nest base. When the omega has a base prepared, they can fill their nest with more nesting ingredients like blankets, pillows, clothing, and stuffed animals. that they wish to have during their heat cycle. The items are typically soft and comforting, often carrying some amount of sentimental value. Omegas scent their nest as they construct it and after it is done.

These nests are easy to construct, deconstruct, and maintain, making them one of the most convenient options for nesting. They are easily customizable and the cost to create a bed nest is mostly dependent on the omega.

Customizing and making bed nests personal is easy to do. Bed nests have a wide range. They can be neatly constructed with minimal accessories like stuffed animals or scented items from pack mates. They may be piled high with fluffy blankets and stuffed animals, appearing very messy. It is up to the omega owner of the nest to decide what is best for them. Policing an omega’s bed nest for not following a more specific style will only create negativity.

Guide to heats (early signs, types of heats, how to deal with it)

contents: non-sexual heats sexual heats submissive heats dominant heats sick heats Note: these are based mostly on my and my system's experiences, though i have looked through the misce tags to see other people's experiences. you may not have all of the signs or experiences here, and thats okay. everybody is unique.

All heats: (won't reiterate these later on) Pre-heat/early signs: -more clingy, affectionate. want to spend more time than usual with loved ones/pack. (may have opposite behavior and want to stay away from others, feeling vulnerable.) -nesting/denning habits more apparent. adding more material. -more protective and possessive over your things -slightly higher body temp -Heightened instinctual desires and emotions -unexplainable random sadness (closer to heat for me) full heat: -want to spend most of the time in nest and/or den -Noticeably higher body temp than usual -muddled thoughts at times -instinct as noticeable as when in fight/flight timeline: -different for everyone. some can keep a schedule and it arrives on time, some get them sporadically or very frequently, some have long heats, some have heats that last a day. -my cycle is long pre-heat, short heat, medium-length break. (long as in a week and a half. then heat is abt 3-4 days with a week break) how to deal with: -keep water near at all times and snacks if hard to leave nest -if you have to go to work/school wear comfy clothes -air con and/or fan non-sexual heat: pre-heat: -more hungry than usual -desire to bring loved ones into nest/den and keep them there -may not experience raised body temp until full heat. may be lower than normal in fact heat: -nest makes up half of your thoughts sexual heats: pre-heat: -raised arousal (may also have raised libido) -raised body temp -lower inhibitions -slick heat: -constantly horny -weed-like effect how to deal with: -clothes that don't stain easy and are easy to take off -if you need to go to work/school make sure u can contain urself. if not, don't go. submissive heats: pre-heat: -asking for guidance/tasks more than usual -less need for control/independence -want to be taken care of heat: -hard to take care of self -hard to disobey people you trust how to deal with: -be aware of your vulnerability to being taken advantage of -ask someone you trust for help -don't go to work/school if strong heat dominant heats: pre-heat: -when helping people you are more hands on and controlling -very defensive of space -snap at small things -more moody when told what to do heat: -desire to take control over someone else -more aggressive, destructive how to deal with: -remind yourself other people aren't trying to piss you off -vent your frustration on objects, not other beings sick heats: triggered by illness, doesn't follow typical pre-heat and full heat patterns signs that you are in heat while sick: -nest/den becomes more cocoon-like -temperature fluctuates -more dehydration -sickness's symptoms different than usual in some ways how to deal with: -keep stuff for sickness near your nest/den -keep space aerated (open windows and doors often)

need a mate to compliment my nest :(

[nestinqomega]

i’ve been so emotional and burnt out lately, idk why i’m so tired all the time :/

[nestinqomega]

having a pack alpha like this genuinely seems heavenly

Some (Pack) Alpha Things

— Casual scenting between pack mates / friends, even if you're not particularly close, letting the people in your life know you care about them.

— Vocalizations when you're amused, happy, or content around your loved ones while you're watching them play / hang out.

— Letting your friends stay close to you for protection or when you're having a conversation, and they're feeling a bit shy.

— Guiding others going through a hard time and letting them know they can always rely or come to you for support / help.

— Helping your pack / friends problem solve solutions.

— Taking the lead during a moment of crisis to keep your packmates calm and address a situation effectively.

— After a long day, being able to come home to your den and rest up for the day tomorrow. (Bonus points if your mate / partner makes the den feel more like home)

— Feeling proud you've found such an amazing pack, and wanting to protect them at all costs.

i am so EXCITED!!!!! in a few months i’m moving and i’ll finally have my own room which means i can make my nest as big and obvious and soft and plush as i want it ! i honestly can’t wait :)

omegaverse thought:

even in settings where alphas are dominant, it could be well known that there are certain scenarios where omegas are not to be crossed. not if you value your peace of mind. or various pieces of your body.

force your way into an omega's nest? you fool. you absolute nugget. that omega will turn from happy purring to a whirlwind of deadly claws and rending teeth faster than you can say "oh f-"

put a hand on a nursing omega's pup without knowing it's fine? "there are no alphas around, its fine." lol. lmao even. as if the alpha can save you from an omega that's protecting their pup. you should know better, idiot.

"how dare that omega not cater to my request specifically! i'm the most important person in the room!" do you want rumors spread about you? are you doing a "never get a date again" speedrun? cause that's where you're headed.

just...omegaverse settings where you ignore the power of omegas at your own peril. including settings where "you fight like an omega" says something about focus or determination.

(used omegas for the example here, but I'm very in support of this applying to betas as well! regardless to if you give your betas unique traits or not, they're still people. still members of a species whose greatest abilities include creativity, endurance, and social bonds.

a single asshole alpha can and should have their life ruined by a group of driven betas with the desire to do so. the less likely it looks, the more interesting it gets!)

[nestinqomega]

would absolutely love for an alpha to just take care of me for a little while, i’m so tired and don’t wanna have to think about all the things i have to do

[nestinqomega]

hi!! i come with a question abt the misceverse :) (also PLEASE lmk if i'm using any terms wrong or phrasing things weird!! i'm still very new to this)

my question is that i'm wondering if it's a chosen thing to join the community or a sort of "oh, this feels like it fits me" concept? idrk how to put it into words, just curious as to whether or not anything is chosen or if it's a "this feels like me" thing :D

hello lovely! it’s a bit of both i think? one thing that’s so cool about the misce community is that you really can do whatever fits YOU!

you can definitely make the conscious choice of joining the community if you see something and think it would make you happy or that you’d like to incorporate in your life and decide to adopt the label of whatever dynamic in the misce community fits you best (i hope that made sense?)

but also a lot of us (i think, at least for me) had a component of “oh, this feels like it fits me!” at the end of the day, we all learned about it from somewhere - whether that be from reading things that have to do with the omegaverse or with coming across people within the misce community - so i don’t think there’s a wrong way to join if you feel like you do identify with the misce community :)

i’ve had other anons ask about my experiences if u wanna check out my “honey answers” tag to see if those help you too!

like i said at the beginning, your misce identity truly is whatever you wanna make it <3

i hope this helped !!! always feel free to ask more questions :)
