Kitty mod and I have been rambling to each other about hybrid verse,,, so imma just copy past an idea I’ve been humming around with.

This is kinda hybrid or shifter verse thought, but like, omegas are usually incredibly protective of their nests, especially when they’re abused and either have one as a safe zone or finally are allowed to have and make one. But like in my head, I’ve been thinking nonstop about omegas who are finally allowed to make a nest for the first time and are in a safe space and are given nesting supplies and a space to do it. But instead of hiding in it and guarding it with their life like crazy until they’re a little more relaxed, if that ever happens for them, they are like super desperate to show an alpha, probs their most trusted alpha because they’ve never had one or never had a safe one and they want to be praised even if they’re scared they won’t actually get praised and they’re even more scared of having a person they’re still uneasy with around it, but again they’re so so desperate they want praise and assurance. (Hybrid verse this definitely falls into dog hybrid category in my head, seeking praise for being good even despite the horrifying things they’ve faced cause dogs are so resilient, but any hybrid could do this, dogs just will do it more often and a bit quicker paced)

Yall hybrid verses have me by the throat rn so lemme yap for a bit

I have this idea that only omegas are hybrids but betas and alphas can have hybrid traits and so like omegaverse has like a primary and secondary gender classification, but i think hybrids also have like a third classification of prey and predator.

So like prey hybrids usually are the ones who want to have kids, will nest more, will flight instead of fight, and are your typical omega standard. They’re more likely to run in one of two ways of either being extremely waifish and small or plump and short. They’re more delicate in all aspects.

Predator hybrids on the other hand are usually extremely independent, aggressive, and headstrong. They’ll fight you. They’re more likely to be more muscular and have a bit of height, ranging in like the 5’5”-5’9” range. They’re more likely to want to have like one kid and then be done, but focus on that one kid.

In my verse, omegas are pets. Most people want predator omegas because the thought is that the predators will protect them easier and you get more money the more predator hybrids you sell. It’s like a whole gross breeding program and people want more and more rare hybrids, so the ultra rich have like arctic fox hybrids or whatever. The people who own the hybrid will usually make them have an alpha or beta to continue on their lineage and then want them to pop out as many hybrid omegas they can. There are no omegas that are not hybrids anymore. Packs and people will do absolutely vile things to hybrids to the point that underground groups and crime syndicates have formed to try to help these hybrids the best they can.

My verse has to do with a miniature holland lop male omega named Clove and a crime syndicate boss male alpha named Zev. Zev basically tries to save as many hybrids as he can while trying to dismantle the government from the inside out.

Zev is the son of a female omega panther hybrid and a pack of disgusting alpha and beta politicians. He’s never met his mother, but he does know she has passed away during childbirth, and his father is the president and an alpha. He got a bachelors and masters in nonprofit work and set up a small underground shelter for hybrids with the money he had saved up from working. His father and his father’s pack never gave any free handouts and Zev left them when he was 18, moving off to go to college and never looked back. He helped other shelters in his area get started up and gives them as much protection as he can give. He has other fronts and people don’t usually see the hybrid part of his organization. He has a pack of friends he made in college who all had similar goals. Their pack is three alphas, including him, and three betas. (A: Zev, Jasper, Felix. B: Noel, Kai, Alex). He tries to visit the shelters as often as possible to help out as much as he can. The other pack members also go and help out at other ones. There’s a shelter that takes the most serious cases though that Zev won’t tell anyone where it is or what it’s called. The pack respects his decisions regarding that.

Clove is a miniature holland lop hybrid who doesn’t know either of his parents because he was sold off about six month after his birth to a hybrid care facility where they trained him to be the perfect prey hybrid. Clove was bought at 15 to a high ranking pack and treated like a lap pet until they wanted children from him. He was 20 when they decided they wanted children and he got pregnant at 24 and gave birth to 3 omega hybrids. The pack was furious and ended the bunnies’ lives and had Clove’s reproductive organs taken out. They decided he no longer had any value to them because it took him so long to get pregnant and then when he did he only had omegas. On the way home from the hospital, one of the pack members slashed his achilles’s tendons and left him on a back road to die. A shelter worker found him and brought him in. She cleaned him up gently and made sure he was comfortable in a room. The tricky situation was that Clove only spoke Dutch and extremely basic and fragmented English. He was terrified of every little thing and wouldn’t speak to anyone or even really show himself. The only way they knew he was still in his room was because theyd be able to see a small part of his body sticking out from under his bed. His body was hurting and his mind was hurting. The director of the shelter ended up coming down and talking to him, sitting on the ground at a safe distance. Her name is Penelope and she’s a beta. Clove would just call her Pen and ask for her by just saying her name. Pen spoke Dutch fluently enough for Clove to be able to speak to her and she was able to get him comfortable enough. Clove never left his room which worried some of the other workers, but Pen explained that he was a severely damaged prey hybrid, so they would take it at his pace.

Zev ended up showing up one day to speak with Pen because he had dropped off a ocelot hybrid the previous day and wanted to see if she needed anything and walked past the dark room with a giant nest in the middle of it and was intrigued. He had taken a large majority of the hybrids to this shelter bc this was the shelter with the severe cases. Pen had met him at the window of Clove’s room. She explained who Clove was and what was going on and Zev just nodded along. He usually had no interest in hybrids, but 90% of the time he only dealt with predators. Preys were interesting to him because usually they were insanely coddled and insanely expensive. It wasn’t unheard of for them to be given up, but it was rare for them to be abused.

And there’s more to this story, but I’m still working out a lot of specifics! I hope yall like it plz don’t steal this idea :3 u can use my hybrids and stuff but like don’t steal Zev and clove from me thanks

People think that because of the dominant insticts and whatnot, the alphas are the strongest and will easily beat you up if they wanted but not realise the absolute POTENTIAL omegas have for fucking someone up. Like! Lets look at it biologically, Omegas are basically constructed to be the amazing childbearers and blah blah blah, BUT! what people not realise is that nature would not let the mother be completely defenceless against predators and would equip them with some attributes that would allow them to protect their children amiright?

SO, In previous posts i said that omegas have small canines but sharpest ones of all secondary genders and the same can be said about nails. They have agile body and better developed lower body muscles. Their sense of smell is the most developed and sensitive with good eyesight to boot.

With all this information in mind, I cannot NOT picture Omega who is super pissed of or thinks that their kits are in danger and absolutely demolishes an alpha that fucked around enough to find out. Like full dropkick and mafia curbstomp. And even if they try to run away the omega can still hunt them down like Nyla from ATLA.

I think that ,,Mama bear mode'' would be more instictual and the omegas would be very protective of their young and mate, having the urge to fuck someone up who dares to even breath in direction of their child. That instinct would of course fade after some time of course but it still would be funny.

[omegaverse-daily]

I have this constant circling thought of,, alphas who find broken/injured/ill omegas, maybe omegas and their pup (bio or just a stage 10000 clinger pup that’s not related), and instead of being super on edge with them being non pack, they’re very careful and caring. Maybe omega is unconscious, if puppy is there they’re scared for their omega parent or guardian, and the alpha is just so gentle and caring. They take the ailed omega, and possible puppy baggage, back to their pack and have them healed and treat them so well and make sure they’re both healed and fed. Maybe alpha takes care of them themself, they aid heavily in bringing these two back to health which builds up such quick trust because, my goodness, the pack alpha is so gentle and caring, they’re so good and they way the pack treats us too shows that.

Enough of this angry, constantly at verge of killing alpha stuff, gimme my alpha pack leader who is such a softy because they’re so good at assessing their situations that they don’t need to come off as aggressive unless necessary. I love softy alphas as much as I love them all but sometimes an alpha who can be such a pushover for their packmates and even strays just makes my heart gush.

OMEGAVERSE MATE REJECTION ANGST

HI YES I NEED ANGST SOCIOLOGY THINGS IM MAKING A COMPILED LITTLE BOOK FOR MY OWN HYPERFIXATIONS AND I WANT TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HOW MATE REJECTION WORKS. !!!!!!!!!! IF THATS A THING AT ALL IN YOUR AU

ooo i haven’t really given this much thought before. maybe i’ll write a post on mating with more in-depth ideas, but for now, this is what comes to mind:

in normal circumstances, bites wouldn’t be exchanged unless all parties were certain about the commitment

if a pair is bite-bonded and for some reason things don’t work out, the process of separating their lives is painful

bites scars that have been made semi-permanent through bite powder/ink can be lasered away, but it’s painful and expensive (much like tattoo removal)

the longer-term or more intimate the relationship, the more discomfort separation causes

‘breakup sickness’ can manifest similarly to ferality, with the person’s body anxious for a connection it’s lost. however, the affected person doesn’t lose their faculties the way someone experiencing ferality would.

‘breakup sickness’ puts people at higher risk for ferality, and it’s crucial to offer support and affection to a packmate who has lost a partner in this way

[omegaverse-daily]

Any headcanons about alphas submitting to omegas out of need not want. Like omegas who are so fear induced it causes anger and they become dangerous. How would that go? In what way do you think an alpha would submit, how could they make themselves small enough for an omega to calm down to allowing them near?

Hellloooo000000 beautiful peopleeeee

I like alphas submitting to omegas. Out of need or want or anything in between, I DONT CARE, I love it.

So alphas submitting to omegas headcanons, start!

This ask is centered more around the fear side of needing to submit ofc so I'll start there. I’ve thought a little about this myself so maybe I can try my best to answer even tho I’m sure others probs have better grasps on alpha behavior than me teehee.

-

So, let’s say an omega is in an extremely fearful mindset. A number of things could have happened to bring them there, and if an omega has trauma or was recently traumatized they could be dealing with a stress induced post trauma mindset started again by nightmares or triggered memories, it’s not so important aside from the fact they’re currently in a mindset that has them reacting at base instinct of aggression and lashing out in order to protect themselves or someone else, like another omega or a pup.

The omega is growling loudly, fat tears streaming down their cheeks because they’re so scared from whatever is making them feel this was, they’ve already caused some damage to other packmates who’ve been lucky to come away with injuries not deadly, but they’ve only just made the omegas mind state worse.

All packmates are good for situations like this usually, but sometimes in these heavily primal mindsets, they’ll need submission to show them that they’re in charge of this situation, so at least on a base level, especially if they’re out of their mind and again, just working on base fear instinct, they’ll know they’re no longer in danger. But perhaps, other omegas submitting hasn’t helped and betas trying too has also had no effect so the last and most unusual rung of the ladder to submit is an alpha. It’s not necessarily entirely uncommon for alphas to submit (to my verse ideas at least) but it is uncommon to do outside of an omega partner or very high ranking omega. It’s also difficult.

Alphas scents differ distinctly like omega scents and beta scents do. You’d be able to distinguish them at least most likely, so submitting to a dangerous omega as an alpha poses a bit of a threat on its own. Being an alpha, especially in a situation the omega is suffering because of an alpha, is not ideal in these situations. They’re used to being submitted to but not always submitting.

I think, the first thing to do for an alpha would be to get as small as they can if they aren’t already a small alpha. And if they were, make their presence small. (Alphas might not always have the physical size or exuberant presence that can be overwhelming, I think they too can be meek and smaller in many ways if that’s just how they look or how their personalities go, but being an alpha still means needing to adjust in situations like this to avoid danger.

So alpha makes themself smaller in anyway they need to at first. That put their presence in a much less threatening place to an omega who isn’t so aware of surroundings outside of their fear.

Next, an alpha needs to smell and sound submissive or placating. Some alphas would have a bit of shame for doing such a thing, some would even object entirely but an omega in this state requires the actions to be taken.

I think presenting themselves in a submitting way is the last thing they’d do. Barring their necks the last possible thing necessary because it’s the most dangerous of steps. Barring your neck at any aggressive wolf, be it fear aggressive or just down right so, is stupidly dangerous. That’s one of a persons most vital spots so it’s the last offered but often the most placating. An alpha submitting to an omega completely and fully can bring many omegas down from such a state. (If they can’t be brought down from this, they probably have to be taken down and sedated for their safety and others)

Ways to tell an omega is accepting the submission is a lessening in growls, defensive posture lowering and especially response to the sounds the alpha (or anyone in this case) is making. In their deepest headspace, when the alpha trying to calm them is in complete submission posture (even mindset teehee) the omega slowly scenting them is another great sign but never a sign of danger being gone. Not until they completely relax and show functioning cognition again, without that, trust can be broken and the cycle can be reverse.

This mindset can be solved simply with time but the dangers of it being left in such a raw state is not desired by packs especially if other packmates or pack puppies are involved due to possibility of accidental injury.

-

And ooog I just love alphas having to go submission brain for omegas. It makes my brain feel like mush.

Thanks guys :))))

Your post about feral behavior in omegaverse makes me so happy, I love it a lot because I like to use it in writing. Do you think it’s a headspace that can be induced during great danger too? Or do you consider that a different thing entirely? I would love to hear your thoughts. I’ve always used it in situations of danger but I used the way you break it down a little just less advanced than how you explain it.

ooo this is a good question, thank you!! i think a similar headspace can be triggered by situations of extreme danger, but maybe without the dangerous hormonal regulation. it’s similar to the idea of a parent lifting a car off of their child. when someone needs to protect themselves, their pups, or their pack, there is a spike in certain hormones. in this state of hyperarousal, an individual might behave similarly to someone experiencing ferality.

i think the major difference is that when someone is feral, their drive is to connect. a forced bite from a feral alpha isn’t because they want to hurt someone, it’s because biting someone is a bonding behavior and their condition comes from a lack of social bonds. bonding bites are not considered a violent act any more than getting a shot at the doctor or getting a piercing.

when someone is in danger, however, their drive is to protect, attack, defend, or escape. when a feral omega bites someone because their packmate was threatened, their intention is to protect that packmate through violence. while the behavior might be similar (alpha posturing, beta zoomies/perching, omega hiding), the mechanism that causes it and the instinctive drive behind it are different.

people in that state of hyperarousal might still need medical support afterward, especially if they were in danger for a prolonged period of time. coming down from that sort of thing might send them into a state of psychological shock that would require support from both medical experts and the affected person’s pack.

thank you so much for your question!!! :D

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.

[omegaverse-daily]

Nesting, scenting, purring, scruffing... A lot of animalistic behaviours have been attributed to omegaverse characters. But there's one I've never seen used, and that's a shame. Have any of you heard about... Kneading?

Also known as making biscuits.

It's something kittens do with their mums, but older cats often do that with their favourite humans or soft toys and blankets!

It's associated with nest-making and scenting. Famous omegaverse things!

(as well as with heats in queens, but I'm trying to keep the post sfw, so shhhh)

Pups could do that with their parents! Omegas (and other nest-makers) could do that with their nests! And everyone could give friendly little massages to their friends!

(or make them a pizza, but like, as an Omegaverse Instinct™ thing)

So consider: kneading.

[omegaverse-daily]

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.

Bonding

Bonds are links connecting one individual to another. They often take place as a physical claim on the body that results in a mental link between two people where the two people connected can feel each other’s emotions.

A person can shield their own bonds, which means they can temporarily block their emotions from going in and out of bonds. All physical claims take place on scent glands.

There are 5 different types of bonds/claims:

Parental

From parent to pup. The parties involved do not need to be biologically related. Involves physical claims on the back of the pup's neck. These claims traditionally happen when the pup is a few weeks to a few months old. However, more recently, parents wait until their pup is old enough to consent (age 10) to give them the bond. Parental bonds are not easy to break and only break due to extreme abuse or neglect. These bonds do not fade over time and remain strong unless broken. A person usually does not have more than 2 parental bonds at the same time, but of course this does not apply to everyone.

Romantic

From partner to partner. Involves physical claims on the neck/upper collarbone. The bond ceremony often, but not always, takes place during a shared mating cycle after courting. A person can have more than one romantic bond. A romantic bond tends to fade after 3 years, so it must be reinforced. The more often partners reinforces their bond, the stronger the bond will become and the slower it will fade. Only one partner must receive the physical claim, however the claim is strongest when both partners have a physical claim from each other. The breaking of romantic bonds before they fade is dangerous, and can result in extreme illness, unhealthy mating cycles, or even death in some rare cases.

Platonic

From platonic loved one to platonic loved one. Involves physical claims on the wrists. Can happen at any point and does not have a traditional ceremony. Unlike other bonds, platonic bonds must be wanted mutually by both parties in order to properly establish the bond. Platonic bonds fade as the relationship weakens. Platonic bonds break relatively easily and are not dangerous to break, however, depending on how quick they are broken and how one-sided the break is, an individual can get a minor sickness or feel empty for a period of time.

Sexual

From sexual partner to sexual partner. Involves physical claims on the inner thighs. Can happen at any point and does not have a traditional ceremony. Sexual bonds are the easiest bonds to break and naturally break after 3 days to a week. Must be reinforced often if partners want the bond to stick. Sexual bonds often happen between partners who want an increased level of sexual intimacy in their relationship or more pleasurable, shared intimacy. Also often happen between hookups and one night stands. Are the least "serious" of the bonds.

Pack

From pack member to pack member. Are the only bonds that do not need physical claims. Form after time, a close relationship, or sharing bonds with people in the pack. Larger packs have become experts on how to trigger pack bonds between people and even offer counseling for new and struggling packs. One pack bond often, but not always, establishes a bond from one individual to the entire rest of the pack. Since pack bonds take special circumstances to establish, they are not easily broken. Like parental bonds, they break due to extreme abuse, neglect, or a weakened, practically nonexistent relationship. If a pack member needs to break the bonds immediately for whatever reason, they will feel extreme sickness and often enter a dangerous mating cycle where they need to be cared for.

Pack Structure and Society hc

Hello its me im back with another long post. It was originally jsut supposed to be about packs but it got kinda mixed up with some other general society stuff. This is made for my writing personally so it's not even close to a one size fits all but feel free to take concepts u like !

As always stick around after the cut

🏔️ In my society packs are very central. My au isn’t total traditional, but I do take a lot of the more traditional stances when it comes to packs.

🏔️ Packs are typically a mix of blood relatives. It’s much more rare than you’d think to find a found family kind of pack where no one is related

🏔️ Packs are lead by the pack head, traditionally an alpha. A pack will also have a second, traditionally an alpha or beta. Large packs have a few more designations as well. The heart is the packs top omega usually unrelated /unmated to the head. Some packs also have a matchmaker, usually an omega in charge of choosing mates and giving relationship counseling. Some packs have a finance head, exactly what it sounds like usually a beta in charge of money and land. All packs typically have at least one pack paw. A paw is the pack’s muscle, think palace guards in fantasy aus. Large and rich packs will have enough paws to elect a paw head to coordinate their protection. Paws are traditionally alphas. Packs that are very religious will often have a religious leader as well. Their title varies from religion to religion as do their dynamics. This is sometimes different than like a priest in a church in a neutral town (keep reading for those) and sometimes not.

🏔️ The power hierarchy in order is:

--Pack Head

--Second

--Paw Head (optional)

--Heart (optional)

--Finance Head (optional)

--Matchmaker (optional)

The religious head is not included as their place on the hierarchy can vary depending on religion and culture.

🏔️ In very traditional packs (most of them in my au) these positions are passed down by blood. As such each of these power positions is controlled by a different family, not mated pairs.

🏔️ Most packs tend to hold counsels with all these positions in attendance when big decisions are made, but at the end of the day what the pack head says goes.

🏔️ Packs can vary in size, but for my world building im going to focus on larger, rural area packs

🏔️ These large packs typically own quite a bit of land! Members are usually spread out over multiple buildings with the largest property functioning as the pack head’s home and a communal space. The pack head’s door is always unlocked.

🏔️ All buildings are usually within walking distance making my world a hell of a lot more rural than irl as you have these large tracts of pack-owned wilderness between villages

🏔️ A pack on the smaller end probably only has one village, or cluster of dwellings whatever you wanna call it ig, while larger packs can have three or four. In this case there’s usually some kind of town hall type meeting for all members to mingle a few times a month.

🏔️ These packs are self governing. Usually the heart and the head paw are in charge of discipline and justice, with the blessing of the pack head. 

🏔️ Since packs are self governing, packs have the power to execute, tho it is rare. Usually an offending member is outsourced to a private or government run prison, but in extreme cases a pack can legally kill

🏔️ Traditional packs are extremely territorial, and trespassing is one of those cases punishable by death

🏔️ Packs have a… long…. Complicated… history of alliances and enemies it can be super confusing for someone new to the area

🏔️ Packs do take in packless people from time to time. It can happen more formally or more relaxed. Formally a pack will seek individuals at shelters for packless, rehabilitation centers, or finishing schools. More laid back packs will simply advertise.

🏔️ Packs also arrange marriages between their allied packs (which in the 21st century can span across the entire globe) and some are known to buy omegas in particular 

🏔️ There are towns/cities on neutral grounds where pack borders meet. These towns are government owned and run and often have all the little shops and markets and religious centers and hospitals and pharmacies and movie theaters and libraries and what have you. Pack members can visit these neutral towns anytime they want! Tho very strict packs will not allow their omegas out on their own without a chaperone 

🏔️ While each pack is different, it’s not uncommon for packs in my setting to adopt a representative animal to act as a logo/crest of sorts! Some packs can be very closed to outsiders and these are the ones that often have their members tattooed or branded with the animal for recognition and a rite of passage

🏔️ While packs in a country/area do have cultural things in common they can also differ widely. 3 packs might be neighbors in territory, but one is devout Catholic while another is made of Wiccans and moon worshippers while another still are totally agnostic and are just really passionate about a certain football team. Stepping into a different pack can feel like transporting yourself to a different world/time. 

🏔️ There are two kinds of schools in this world: public government owned ones that are in the neutral towns that any area pack can attend, or private home schooling left up to the packs (but the government does check in on certain milestones for these ones) I'll make a different schooling hc later !

🏔️ Most of the packs in this world are pre established. New packs are often met with hostility.

🏔️ Packs almost always meet on neutral ground no matter if the function is positive (a mating dance perhaps or a holiday event) or negative (bickering over where the real border is)

🏔️ Some packs are self sufficient and farm and hunt on their own. These packs have lots of betas !

🏔️ Other packs rely on the neutral towns to provide for them, so their villages tend to be close to the border.

🏔️ Pack wars are mostly a thing of the past, they don’t really happen much tho certain packs are hostile towards other ones.

🏔️ All packs have a scent to them, you can tell when a person is of a certain pack or not and pack bonds are usually maintained by platonic scenting.

🏔️ Some packs desperately search for new members as they have issues with interbreeding

🏔️ Money is less of an issue in my world, a packs main source of income are usually a few working alphas and betas and if some betas and omegas decide to sell produce in the neutral towns. The central government will provide a ton of social services so these traditional packs (who are often considered like a cultural thing important to preserve) don’t struggle in modern times. 

🏔️ A pack will typically have less omegas compared to another dynamic, they’re more rare! It’s why some packs take protecting their omegas so seriously. In ancient times rogue or enemy packs were even known to steal and forcibly bond omegas from other packs. The protective instincts have remained even tho this is heavily illegal now and would be grounds for one pack to kill members of the other.

🏔️ Nature and land is way more important than irl !! Most packs keep their lands pristine wilderness they use for hunting or recreation. There are a few packs who have donated certain lands to the government to be preserved as national parks all packs can enjoy. Overall tho destruction of wilderness is taken so so seriously.

Pack dynamics this pack dynamics that but never did I stop and think of the legal implications of packs 🤨 how I'd imagine them at least

A lot of my base pack headcanons are pretty well summed up by this post by @purrmoon ... They're just incredibly good and I agree with like all of it... So I'm just gonna be kinda expanding on them with some more of my thoughts!

These are all my ideas for what things would look like for... Let's say the western world. In the modern day. but I'd imagine things would function differently in South America or Africa or anywhere else (which I'll touch on in another post)

Packs get legal recognition the same way traditional families do. In the past, it was required for a pack to have at least one pack alpha, pack beta, and pack omega to be legalized, but overtime these roles became less dynamic dependent and the terminology changed to pack head, pack hand, and pack heart filling those respective roles. Now only a pack head is typically needed for a pack to be legalized, but most packs have at least one other role filled by at least one pack member, and it's easier to be legalized that way.

Although any dynamic can fill these roles, it's less socially accepted and harder to legalize packs with different dynamics filling these roles. It's made harder for betas to be pack heads and even harder for omegas to do so. The legalization of omegas being allowed to serve as pack heads was a more recent development, and is still difficult to legally achieve.

Pack heads establish packs and are given the responsibility of speaking for the pack overall, having the final say in impactful decisions. Pack hands are given the responsibility of keeping packs orderly and dealing with pack issues in a diplomatic way. Pack hearts are given the responsibility of taking care of any pups or youngest members of the pack.

Other misc facts:

To pups in a pack that have their own parents, pack alphas are secondary legal guardians adjacent to their parents

To pups in a pack without their own parents, pack alphas become their legal guardians

You must be older than 21 to establish your own pack

Unofficial packs created by pups and adolescents are called pup packs. The term is also used informally to refer to packs that seem impulsively made, unserious, or inexperienced

Feel free to add on or share ur thoughts ^ - ^ I'm not too well versed on the laws of the land I just go here lol

Types of Omegaverses

Traditional - rigid social norms and hierarchies (ex: you can't do that you're an omega!), scents, animalistic heats/ruts, packs, war, dynamic > gender, mating, traditional gender roles are imposed (even if your characters actively fight against them), majority polyamory or familial based packs. Knotting = mating bond, mating bites can be present.

Contemporary - semi-flexible but present social /dynamic hierarchies (They are an alpha, it's respectful to listen to what they have to say), dating and courtship either anywhere between traditional and modern, polyamory common, dynamic is slightly more important than gender in society, familial/harem/community-based packs, fantastical heats/ruts/and mating, knotting and mating are not the same thing, mating bites, soulmates/soul marks.

Modern-dynamic hierarchy used to be a thing but is no longer the way society is structured, some dynamic and gender-based social norms (ex. I can't believe that alpha is a kindergarten teacher, i wonder what their parents think!), modern/nearly modern dating and courtship, traditional gender roles in the background, dynamic and gender are equally important in society, found family packs, polyamory uncommon, realistic heats/ruts (no rut rage, no wildly uncontrollable urges that last for days, no fountains of slick, etc.. these are just quirky biological processes, the increased mating drive does not become "fantastical"), mating bond = emotional commitment.

Post-Modern - the coexistence and explicit mention of multiple countries, multiple languages, multiple cultures, and customs that inform feelings towards dynamics. Mating, packs, and social hierarchies, neither dynamic nor gender is the focus of the characters or the plot, heats/ruts more biological than sexual, present-futuristic time period.
