Your Pack - Through the Ages #1

Traditional Omegaverse

Long post ahead! Now this is all heavily informed by my own aus and headcannons and therefore is a bit more alternative than some of the aus and fics you've stumbled across only because I've decided to dive really deep here and get creative.

As you know, I don't believe that an omegaverse would mirror our understanding of culture, sociology, etc.. So before you flood my inbox with a "this isn't realistic!" note, save yourself the keystrokes, I know and that's my point.

Pack Leadership

You are a part of your paternal grandfather's pack as the culture you live in is patriarchal. Your grandfather is an alpha and also serves the role of pack head just like his father before him. Your father is an alpha and holds the position of "second alpha". When your grandfather dies he will become the pack head. Your grandmother is an beta and fulfills the role of Lady of the Pack, if she were an omega or alpha she could also fulfil this role. As your grandfather is the leader of men, she is the leader of women and children. When the men are away: trading, hunting, or otherwise she is the acting pack leader. Your father's position as second alpha does not supersede her authority.

While it is common for the pack head and the pack lady to be coupled, that is not always the case. The Lady of the Pack is always someone who grew up in the pack, not someone who married in. When your brother becomes pack head after your father your mother (who will likely succeed your grandmother as the Lady) will pick her replacement. Traditionally it is the previous pack head's eldest daughter. Your brother's wife would then become that Lady's second.

The pack head and the pack second do not travel together. When there is something that needs to be handled outside of your pack's region - normally your father is sent to handle it under your grandfather's explict direction.

Pack Territory

Your region can vary in size. It gets larger when a daughter of the pack alpha's line get's married, as land is often part of her dowry. Trading with other packs in the area can also be a source of expansion, but the biggest cause for expansion is often absorbing another pack altogether. This may happen after a pack war, but a merge may also come about as a political decision to strengthen both bodies.

Large packs may split up and live as pods around the pack region, unified under the direction of the pack head. In this case, each pod would have it's own leader - normally an alpha but it could be a beta. Pod leaders would be connected to the pack head through a familial line, the most common is that the pod leaders are the pack head's sons, nephews, or grandsons.

A pack split occurs after a civil war, or may occur if a pack head feels the population and territory is becoming too large to control. Unlike a Pod split, a pack split means the territory would be permanently split according to the pack head/current circumstances. The new pack would not be a pod and therefore would not be entitled to any resources, protection, or miscellaneous support from that parent pack. This is not always a negative thing, sometime it occurs if a pod begins to flourish further than anticipated and it makes sense to become independent.

Gender Roles -

Men and women have very clear and distinct roles. A pack or pod leader is always a man. Men are also warriors, traders, farmers, gatherers, etc.. Women are seen as vital to the pack's prosperity and therefore are not to engage in work that takes them outside of the pack region. Women are teachers, keep the pack records, are crafters who make things for the men to trade, take care of the children, are often cooks (but not always), etc.. In many cases female pack members recieve a more well rounded education, than their male counterparts who begin the apprenticeship process from a very young age and only learn the skills required of that position.

Alphas, betas, and omegas also have different roles. Alpha men are normally chosen to fulfill combat/very physical roles such as warriors, builder, shephards, mechanics etc.. Beta men might be navigators, negotiators, engineers, etc.. Omega men might also be farmers, gatherers, cooks, voyagers, architects etc.. Men are the ones that leave the pack frequently - it is no uncommon for a man to be away from the pack for many weeks at a time due to his occupation.

Alpha women are often teachers/educators/child rearers, they might provide pack protection if the men are away, and frequently engage in trades like carpentry, blacksmithing, etc.. Beta women are doctors/nurses/morticians, gardeners, tailors, record keepers, librarians etc. Omega women are often painters, ceramicists, chandlers, printers, lawkeepers stenographers they might tend to small animals like chicken/rabbits. Women always stay within pack territory unless of an emergency.

Children/Families

Children grow up in their parents' homes until they are either married or can support themselves via the wages from their occupation. All children are educated through the age of 13. At age 3, children are sent to a nursery to be looked after by nursery attendants here they will receive basic schooling. At aged 6, children move up to "reading school" which lasts until age 11. Years 12 and 13 are spent in a more rigorous environment called "topper" in which they are scouted after by townspeople looking for new apprentices, take apptitude tests, try out different jobs, and hone skills in specific areas. Boys typically begin their apprenticeships full time at 14. Girls often move on to "AES" or "academic and educational stimulation" which may last until age 18, but they may leave at any time, most leave by 15. Girls who complete AES are normally then trained to be governesses, teachers, law-readers/makers, etc.. Apprenticeships and other extra-vocational training normally lasts 2-3 years.

Due to the limited resources of a pack, couplings aren't permitted to have children any time they want. Instead, they must wait for periods of prosperity to be granted a special license. Licenses are handed out based on wait time, for example a coupling that has been bonded/married for 3 years would be ahead of a coupling that has just been bonded. Having children out of bond is normally unacceptable, as it could easily put a strain on pack resources. In large affluent packs, this is not as much of a worry. In a normal pack, couplings wouldn't have to wait more than a year to get a child-rearing license and if they were just bonded, they would often wait half that time. It is a sign of bad fourtune ahead if the wait time becomes longer than 24 months or you notice your pack without any unweaned children. (Bonding liscenses will be touched on in another post, but also exist to prevent incest and intermixing of close family lines)

Because couplings cannot have children whenever they'd like, multiples like twins or triplets are seen as a true blessing - and that family will be said to have good favor forever. Marrying a multiple is also said to be good luck as multiples often run in family lines.

Some packs have family limits - for example a coupling may not have more than four full term pregnancies. Others have occupation limits, for example a farmer's family may have seven pregnancies but a warrior's family might only have three. Others may have no limits at all and put more of the financial risk on the parents.

Children are raised by their parents but also by all of the adults in their village. It is common for a child to refer to family friends and neighbors as their aunt or uncle (though the word used specifically might be distinctive of their dynamic rather than their gender)

i feel like we as a digital society have forgotten the important rules of the internet

Don't feed the trolls

Never give out personal information

Anonymity is the best defense

Don't click suspicious links

Don't click popups and ads

Just because it's written doesn't mean it's true

You are responsible for your own experience

There is porn of everything, act accordingly

[omegaversetheory]

This is a great reminder to cherish yourself and your own psyche as much as one of your characters.

Use these a journal prompts, come back to them in a couple weeks, months, years. Watch as the version of you you’ve memorialized in your answers drifts further and further away.

Questions Your Character Is Too Afraid to Ask

(But desperately needs the answer to) Because these are the thoughts they won’t say out loud, but they shape everything they do.

If I stopped trying, would anyone notice?

Do they actually like me, or do I just make their life easier?

Am I hard to love?

What would they say about me if I left the room?

Would they stay if they saw the real me?

What if I’m only good at pretending to be good?

Was it actually love, or just obligation?

What happens if I fail again? What’s left of me then?

How long until they get tired of me?

What if I deserve the things I’m afraid of?

Am I healing or just hiding better?

Why do I feel more myself when I’m alone?

Do I want to be forgiven or just forget?

What if I never become the person they believe I am?

Am I still angry, or just numb?

Why can’t I let go of them, even after everything?

If they hurt me, and I stayed, did I hurt myself more?

Am I building a future, or just distracting myself from the past?

Is this what I want, or just what I’ve been told to want?

What if I was never meant to survive this, but I did anyway? Now what?

literally never post on main, but I had to to write this, it was just to much fun to not write!

here's to all of you peanut gallery - may you be tickled by the writing bug this weekend as well :)

"Just sell that." The hero said, pointing at the villains highly advanced jetpack. "The hell are you robbing a bank for? Do you have any idea how much the army would pay for that!? Or for ANY of the other gadgets you made!?"

A lovely third space

Fanfic is a free hobby.

It's one of the last few things we can have as a society that's free. You can engage, for free. People give you things (art, stories, etc), for free.

Don't buy into the consummerism just because it's everywhere else.

You don't have to consume everything you interact with. You don't have to use things, just because they exist.

You're allowed (still, for now), to have things that are enjoyable for free.

Do you realise how insane the world is? We don't have many places where we can just be, for free anymore, but ao3 is. Did you notice we don't have ads in ao3? We don't have pop ups? Where ELSE do we not have that?

Where else can you just go and not have to wait for a commercial to be over or for ads to be on the sidelines?

I don't think the younger people understand, but the whole of internet used to be like this. YouTubers would do Youtube for free, just because. You couldn't monetise your internet presence before.

Ao3 is like a little preserved corner of the internet where the old internet used to be, and it's being attacked by people who do not understand that free things are allowed to exist without judgment.

Please don't ruin this for us.

Some of us need it.

For the last goddamn time...

"Kill your darlings" means "if something is holding you back, get rid of it, even if it sounds pretty."

That's it! That's all it means! It means if you're stuck and stalled out on your story and you could fix the whole block by removing something but you're avoiding removing that thing because it's good, you remove that thing. That's the darling.

It does NOT mean

That you have to get rid of your self-indulgent writing

That you should delete something just because you like it (?wtf?)

That you need to kill off characters (??? what)

That you have to pare your story down to the absolute bare bones

That you have to delete anything whatsoever if you don't want to

The POINT is that you STOP FEELING GUILTY for throwing out good writing that isn't SERVING THE STORY.

The POINT is that you don't get so HUNG UP on the details that you lose sight of the BIG PICTURE.

Good grief....

Have you ever made a Moodboard for an omega girl?

no I haven't!

I'm not a big moodboarder, but if I ever come across some I'll be sure to reblog for you!

[omegaversetheory]

I found some posts a while ago which talked about two Alpha parents with an adopted omega child, but I couldnt find anything about two omega parents with an adopted Alpha child. Honestly im curious about how the last scenario could turn out, because two Alpha parents can easily manage an omega child, but two omega parents may have issues managing an Alpha child that is bigger than them, stronger than them, and has the usual Alpha behavior (territorial, prone to agressiveness, etc).

The adoption aspect of omegaverse its so underrated and overlooked I swear 😭

howdy! another traditional omegaverse question - let's get to it!

as always, here are some questions for you to consider -

what is more important in your au - "gender" or "dynamic"? in the sense that, even if both parents are omegas, does it make any difference if one (or both) parents share the same gender identity of their child?

How animalistic can alphas become in your au? Will the alpha child become completely uncontrollable (physically) at any point in time due to this territorial/aggressive behavior that you mention?

How big is "bigger" than, how strong is "stronger than"? two adults who are mid 5' wouldn't be completely useless fighting a teen that was 6'+, but they might have a difficult time, and an even more difficult time if the teen is 7'+. Just something to ponder.

at what age does the child present? It makes a difference here in the case that if the family knows the child is an alpha the whole time v. if the child presents as an alpha later on in life.

the good part - the headcanons

omega A and omega B love their child no matter what. Prepared for all eventualities when they started going through the adoption process, they were both sure to read about alpha experiences/behavior and speak to their alpha friends and family members (as well as the same thing for betas) ahead of time to make sure that no matter what child came into their home, they had the resources and knowledge to support them.

the alpha child wasn't happy when they presented, after secretly hoping she'd get to be an omega too because of their love for their parents. omegas A and B assured her that nothing would change about how much they loved her and were always going to be proud of her no matter what.

the omega parents aren't used to having an alpha in the house, and slowly realize that everything is just a little small for their full grown alpha son when he comes home to visit. His old bed is slightly too short, the silverware looks small in his hands, the ceilings are sort of low, everything! omega A tries to accomodate him, but the alpha just laughs and mentions that they're only noticing now because he's been away for a while - and that he doesn't mind at all.

omega B is secretly excited to have an alpha daughter because it means they'll have more alpha scent around the house - even though he's attracted to other omegas like his husband, it reminds him of the pack he grew up in where there were alphas everywhere.

The alpha, now older, always dated betas or other alphas and is bringing home an omega for the first time. This is extremely nerve wracking because he doesn't want his moms to think that he's been sexualizing them, and yes it was a bit of a hard sell to admit to himself he liked his omega in the first place because of all that but he's very much in love. Of course, when the big day comes, omega A is so happy she bursts into tears and wraps the new omega in the biggest hug she can manage. Omega B just smiles and tells her son he's got "a good eye".

The alpha moves away from home for the first time and lives with other alphas for the first time ever. They're a little weirded out at first - she reaks of omegas, and has a nesting compulsion, but eventually she convinces them to try it and then - what do you know pretty much all the alphas in the town now have nesting/denning habits to calm themselves down.

Omega A is furious and kicks his newly presented alpha son out of his house. Wandering the streets alone, the alpha picks up the familiar scent of omega B who has packed both of their bags, brought a hot dinner/change of clothes for the alpha and two bus tickets for them to get some distance and potentially start over entirely if omega A can't knock it off.

How to Write Better Characters: Roles, Motivation & Actually Making People Care

Let’s be real: your story can have the coolest magic system, the twistiness of the plot, or the hottest vampire/detective/alien—  

but if your characters are flat?  

Nobody’s sticking around.

So let’s break down how to give your characters real presence in your story by understanding their role, their motivation, and how to make them hit harder on the page.

1. What’s Their Role in the Story?

Every character needs a *reason to exist*. Think of them like parts in a machine. What do they *do* in your narrative?

Here are a few basic types:

- Protagonist: The one we’re rooting for. They drive the plot forward.

- Antagonist: The one in their way. Doesn’t have to be evil—just opposed.

- Foil: Someone who reflects the main character’s traits by contrast.

- Mentor: Offers wisdom, often with a tragic backstory or dramatic exit.

- Love Interest: Romantic tension? Check. But make sure they’re *more* than just eye candy.

- Wildcard: Unpredictable chaos gremlin. Every story needs one.

TIP: If you can remove a character without changing the plot? You probably should.

2. What Do They Want? (AKA Motivation)

This is the *core* of your character. Motivation makes everything feel real. Ask yourself:

- What does this character want more than anything?

- Why do they want it?

- What are they willing to do (or give up) to get it?

Bonus points if their motivation is in conflict with someone else’s. That’s where the juicy drama lives.

Ex: “She wants to save her sister. He wants to save the world. One bomb. One choice.”    Now we’re COOKING.

3. How Do You Show It?

Motivation isn’t just monologues and dramatic speeches. It’s in:

- What they *notice* first in a room.

- Who they *trust* (or don’t).

- The mistakes they keep repeating.

- The lies they tell *themselves*.

A character who’s obsessed with control might organize their bag mid-crisis.  

A character desperate to be loved might make themselves useful to everyone… even villains.

4. Let Them Be Messy

Perfect characters are boring.  

Give them contradictions. Regrets. Bad coping mechanisms. Let them be *wrong*. Let them grow.

Characters who never fail or change = characters nobody relates to.

Let your soft boys punch someone. Let your bad girls cry. Let your villains have a point.

5. Ask Yourself the Hard Stuff

- What would break this character?

- What line won’t they cross?

- Who are they when no one’s watching?

If you can answer these? You *know* your character.

6. Level Up: Relationships Matter

Characters don’t exist in a vacuum. Use dynamics to reveal depth:

- A character might be brave in a fight but terrified of disappointing their mentor.

- A flirty rogue might go speechless around the person they actually care about.

- A villain’s cruelty might soften around their childhood friend.

People are different with different people. Show it.

 TL;DR:  

Great characters = clear role + deep motivation + real emotion. 

Make them want things. Make them struggle. Make them human (even if they’re a dragon princess from space).

Want help building a specific character? Drop their name + vibe in my ask box. Let’s break them open together.

Writing Advice: Worldbuilding as Tension

One of the most common pieces of advice/points of critique I see for writers of all skill levels, is avoiding exposition dumps, often accompanied by the age old 'show don't tell'.

When writing fiction in general, but especially sci-fi and fantasy, it's important that the reader understands how your world differs from our own. And worldbuilding is one of the few places where you're less likely to get hit by the proverbial SHOW hammer, since some things, like the rules of your magic system, are difficult to show. So telling becomes more permissible.

However, it can be incredibly tempting to just infodump at every opportunity. Especially for those of us who have a wiki with more words than the finished project will have. But as I'm sure you've heard before, doing this can break immersion and destroy the pacing of your narrative.

While there are multiple ways to make exposition engaging, I'm going to focus on the approach I use most commonly: The Drip Feed.

Filling an Ocean One Droplet at a Time

Before we get into the actual methodology, I want to take a moment to dissect how and why exposition dumps can be problematic.

The Problem: Context, Relevancy, and Retention

Context is both the thing we're trying to communicate, and the source of excessive exposition. It starts simple, like maybe the reader needs to know that the main character is poor. And I guess I should explain why they're poor. Next thing you know you've spent 4 pages describing the socioeconomics of your world.

That's what I call 'context chaining'. Since everything in fleshed out worlds is interconnected, it can be very easy to just keep on filling in the gaps. Preemptively answering any questions the reader might have. The problem?

Relevancy. When you introduce a ton of worldbuilding in one fell swoop, the vast majority of it won't be relevant to the current place in the narrative, even if it will eventually be relevant for the story overall. Which, you guessed it, hurts:

Retention. Without immediate relevant context for the worldbuilding you introduce. Readers won't have anything to anchor the information too. Calling back to the example I used earlier, readers will remember that the character is poor, and they will likely remember why. Anything beyond that is unlikely to be retained.

The solution?

Restraint and Trust

For many of us, the world we've built is a large draw of the narrative we're crafting. However, one of the best ways to draw people into your world is to talk about it as little as possible. But how will they know about x?? They won't, until it matters.

Now I'm not talking about soft worldbuilding. This will work for both hard and soft worldbuilding (honestly it's even better for hard worldbuilding).

Instead of straight up telling the reader about the world and all of its intricacies. Introduce the most complex aspects as questions that you answer bit by bit throughout the narrative. As an example, maybe our poor character is struggling to buy food because they went into debt casting spells.

Suddenly, the reader is wondering: Why do spells cost money? Who controls the supply of magic and/or components? Is spellcasting something everyone can do? What kinds of magic are more valuable than eating? and so many more.

But here's the key: don't answer them. At least, not until absolutely necessary or there's an organic place to do so. Wait until the perspective character is directly interacting with one of those questions. Maybe they walk past a trickling fountain, revealing that the mana wells are running dry. And later debt collectors come for the main character, revealing who controls the mana.

Unanswered questions are a huge source of tension, and worldbuilding can provide a subtle sustained undercurrent that you can leverage to propel the narrative in slow points and/or make your payoffs hit even harder. All you have to do is answer the right question at the right time.

The best part of this method is that by waiting until your perspective character is engaging with a part of your world. It allows you to convey exposition and character at the same time. But what about worldbuilding that the characters don't interact with directly? It doesn't matter.

Well it does, to you as the author. But in general, if something doesn't matter to at least one of your characters, it won't matter to your readers. If your character isn't a politician, they aren't going to care about the intricacies of your political system. So why would the reader?

In short, keep any worldbuilding closely tied to your characters' experience, and let the reader wonder. The end result is a smoother and more engaging learning curve that pulls the reader in. Giving them the satisfaction of putting the pieces together themselves.

If you have any questions or additional thoughts let me know!

Truths Every Writer (And Reader) Should Accept...

Not all endings are satisfactory; sometimes, life endings aren't satisfactory either.

Not all characters should be liked by the audience; don't write for the response of your readers.

A long adventure doesn't equate to change; sometimes, the protagonist ends up right where they began.

People die with regrets.

Not all antagonists are "bad" people; good and evil isn't so black and white.

People lose motivation; that headstrong protagonist will also want to give up sometimes. They can't fight forever.

A good or evil character doesn't always need a traumatic backstory.

Some genres just aren't as popular as others.

Fiction is fiction; it doesn't have to be ultra-realistic. Write about what you want to.

Your protagonist may look like the villain to your antagonist; your main character isn't the light of everyone's life.

People are hypocrites; some of your characters will be hypocrites, and that's not a bad thing.

Writing is a long process; those fanfic authors that upload three times a week? Yeah, that's not everyone.

Happy writing~

How to Write SIBLING Relationships

If you're looking to write a sibling relationship but don't fully understand how a sibling relationship actually works, this is for you! As someone who has a younger brother, here are some points you'll want to consider when writing siblings!

Oldest, Middle, and Youngest

First, let's talk about the three types of siblings and explore their general roles, expectations, and characterization within a family!

*Oldest*

Starting with the oldest child, oftentimes, the eldest child is expected to act as the most responsible and as the role model. This doesn't mean they will go out of their way to set an example, but typically, no matter their personality and relationship with their younger siblings, they will have an innate sense of duty and protectiveness over their siblings. They want their siblings to enter the right path.

As the role model, the oldest child normally feels the most stress and anxiety, yet they also try not to show it to avoid worry from others. They highly value independence.

*Middle*

I'm sure you've heard of the jokes that the middle child is invisible child, and while those jokes are often exaggerated, the truth isn't terribly far off.

Between the eldest and youngest child, the middle child has a more difficult time standing out, which may lead to more reckless behavior for attention. They are characterized as more free-spirited and might act as a mediator between the youngest and oldest.

They will likely be more responsible and experienced than the youngest but can act similarly to the youngest.

*Youngest*

The youngest child can look like many things. Sometimes, you'll see the youngest is the most spoiled because they're the parents' favorite, and sometimes they're ignored because they have the least experience. Despite that, they have their fair share of pressures and burdens because they are often expected to meet, if not surpass, the achievements of their older siblings.

The General Dynamic

A sibling relationship differs from a typical friendship. They WILL find each other more annoying, but that doesn't mean they can't get along.

Siblings are also more honest and nit-pickier with each other. For example, if a friend changes the radio without asking, the character might not think too much of it. However, if their brother changes the radio without asking, then the character will likely feel irritated and call them out for it.

And when I say honest, I don't mean that they're super honest with each other emotionally, because that's not always the case. When I mean honest, I mean they're rather honest with each other at a surface, verbal level. They hardly hesitate to say their thoughts and can be pushy about them.

They will have an opinion on everything.

Personalities

If you've ever had some friends that have siblings, I'm sure that you're aware sometimes siblings can be similar and sometimes they're total opposites.

However, this doesn't mean that a pair of "opposite" siblings are ying and yang. While they may seem visibly different, such as fashion sense, and introvert or extrovert, there are still shared traits that they hold. This is especially true if they're biological siblings and/or raised in the same environment together.

They influence each other, so there's bound to be some similarities in personality or values no matter how distinct each one is.

Love, Even If Unseen

No matter what, siblings love each other. They might not say it, they might not express it, or they might show it in a toxic and unhealthy way, but there's always an underlying sense of familial love. These are the people that your character has (or was supposed to) grown up with, after all.

There's going to be attachment, they will defend each other, even if they claim to hate the other.

Parents

Okay guys, now let's move on to parents and how they might play a part in sibling relationships!

*Comparisons*

Regardless of whether you have a sibling or not, you've likely experienced what it feels like to be compared to someone else. I'm not saying people with siblings have it worse, but they do have a wider range of people to be compared with.

It's not uncommon for parents to compare their children to each other, and it's not uncommon either for a child to compare themselves to their siblings. Sometimes, outsiders and/or distant family members will also compare the siblings, causing feelings of inferiority and envy.

When siblings have a poor relationship, it can sometimes be because of the parents.

*Fighting and Arguments*

Siblings fight and argue a LOT. However, you'd be mistaken if you thought a parent resolves all of these fights.

The truth is, after a certain age is reached, parents won't step in or resolve a fight unless it's right in front of them. They expect their children to be mature enough to solve their issues out, and honestly? They were tired of breaking up conflicts years ago.

Bonus point: yes, siblings can fight often, but the quarrels are usually forgotten pretty quick too. I've had several fights with my brother in which we were back to normal literally a few hours later the spat. Will I remember it for the next year? Absolutely. But do I care anymore? Not really.

Conclusion

This post may not apply to all siblings--everyone has different types of relationships--but here are some good points to start at!

TL;DR: The eldest sibling has the most responsibility, the middle sibling is a blend between the oldest and youngest and often strives for attention, and while the youngest sibling may look like they have it the easiest, they have their pressures too. Sibling relationship does not mimic a friendship, and they will have similar traits despite distinct personalities. They love and care for each other, even if it doesn't look that way. Having siblings sets up for many comparisons between them, and parents won't always resolve sibling spats.

I'll likely release some posts detailing how to write specific sibling relationships, so let me know if you want to see one in particular! Thank you for making it here!

Happy writing~

Absolutely NOT! humans of earth please do not do this. It hurts writers more than I can even express to you.

Imagine you are a chef. You have just developed a brilliant new recipe for a cake that you’re excited for people to try. So you host a party - yay! You serve the cake to everyone. Most people like it, some people don’t but that’s okay cake isn’t for everyone and you still really like yours. One person likes it so much they decide they need it everyday. So they secretly take forkfuls of the cake and put it in their handbag.

When the party is over, they go from your bakery immediately to the McDonald’s down the block with those cake scraps and tell them they need the staff to recreate the recipe for them because they can’t live without the cake, but can’t handle the price that’s attached to it (the waiting, the not knowing when it will be available again, the fear that the next time it’s available the recipe will have changed and it won’t be as good anymore.) but they can afford the McDonald’s price - easy, convenient, and whatever.

It takes some convincing but the McDonald’s people say okay fine. Except they don’t have the stuff to recreate the cake at their local location. They have to send it to corporate’s testing kitchen. They say that’s completely fine as long as you can get your cake fast. They tell them to come back tomorrow.

The next day you come back. There is a massive billboard out front advertising McDonald’s new original dessert - the cake you stole. They go inside and find a huge line. Everyone loves the cake, which they don’t mind because you’re just happy to have some. They get to the front and order a slice. They take it home because they’re so excited.

They sit down, and take a bite. It’s not really as good anymore. Something about it is completely off and tastes sort of chemically. They decide they actually don’t care though because it’s fast and easy and now they can have the cake whenever they want.

One week later they drive by your bakery. It’s closed. You couldn’t compete with the price of new McDonalds recipe. Disheartened you’ve decided to just bake for yourself now in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

This is the worst timeline. (x)

25 "you've no idea what you do to me," vulnerability dialogue prompts !!

(feel free to use <333 tag me when yall write!! my favs are )

"God, I need you."

"I've craved this more nights than I can remember." :'')

"Would it assure you if I say.. that I'd be honored to protect your vulnerability with me?"

when you both sleep together after a traumatic event, you holding them

^ they silently whisper, "I'm scared.. That you'll leave me once you see how much I need you. that this love will consume me, make me.. clingy, and you'll see I'm just.. broken"

"Can you hug me?" By a really vulnerable you and they still at the request before one hand moves to your back, holding you against them - perhaps more tightly than necessary.

They make a choked sound, half laugh, half sob, pressing their forehead against yours, "What would I be without you?"

"Would you... would you be okay if I put my arm around your shoulders? Like, hugging you from the side?"

^ "Would u want to?" you ask but they hadn't expected you to ask if they wanted to. your question implies that you care about their feelings too, and it touches something deep within them. "Yes," they admit softly. "I do."

Cuddling but its them on top resting their ear over ur heart and listening to its beatssssss

3 am truth exchanges and both your voices are really quiet, intimate and genuine, eyes shining with lots of emotions that you both honor and hold close.

💬 Just a Small Update, and a Big Thank You

Dear friends, kind hearts, and everyone who has stood with us,

When I first opened my heart to the world and shared our story, I never imagined the amount of love and solidarity we would receive. Thanks to your incredible support, we’ve now reached $12,837—a milestone that brings real light to some very dark days.

From the deepest corners of my heart, thank you.

💔 A Journey of Loss, but Also of Strength

As many of you know, I’ve lost 25 of my loved ones during this devastating war. That grief lives with me every single day. It’s in the silence that once held laughter, in the empty spaces where we once gathered as a family.

But through your help, I’ve also felt something else: hope. And that hope is priceless.

“21/Oct/2023 Before It Reached Us: The Day Our Neighbor’s House Was Destroyed” A quiet moment of fear, filmed just before everything changed.

“22/Oct/2023 The Morning After: Our Family Home in Ruins” This is what was left behind after the bombing of our home.

🌿 What Life Looks Like for Us Now

Despite everything, we’re still here. Still surviving. Still hoping.

But things have only gotten harder.

The war has returned, more brutal than before—and for over a month now, Gaza has been completely sealed off. No food is coming in. No medical supplies. No aid. No trade. No one is allowed to leave, and no one is allowed to enter.

We’re trapped.

🏚 We live with the fear of tomorrow, every single day. Airstrikes, drones, and the uncertainty of what might happen next. 👨‍👩‍👧 Our family is forever changed—we haven’t just lost people; we’ve lost pieces of ourselves. 📉 Basic needs go unmet—even clean water feels like a luxury now. Medicines, if they exist at all, are unreachable.

And yet…

Your support reminds us that we’re not forgotten. It reminds us that someone, somewhere, is still listening. That someone still cares. That we’re not completely alone in this.

Every message. Every share. Every dollar. It tells us: You’re walking this road with us. And that gives us the strength to keep going.

💖 What You Can Do

If you’ve already donated—thank you beyond words. If you can share our story again, it could reach someone who can help.

Even $5 means warmth, comfort, and a chance to breathe a little easier.

✨ Why It All Matters

This isn’t just about reaching a fundraising goal. It’s about surviving war with dignity. It’s about believing in tomorrow. It’s about making sure my daughter grows up knowing that the world did not look away.

Thank you for your kindness, patience, and belief in our humanity. You’ve helped me find my voice—and I will use it to keep hope alive.

🙏 From the Heart: A Quiet Apology

There’s something I need to say—something that’s been on my heart for some time.

When I first began sharing our story, I didn’t know what the right way was. I was scared, grieving, and trying to protect my family in any way I could. I reached out to many people, hoping someone, anyone, would see us. In that process, I now realize I may have overstepped, and I might have made some feel overwhelmed.

If that happened, I am truly sorry.

Please believe me when I say it was never out of disregard or pushiness. It came from a place of fear—fear of being forgotten, fear of not being able to keep my family safe, fear of watching everything I love slip away in silence.

I’m learning as I go. I’ve slowed down. I’m more mindful now, trying to share our journey in a way that feels respectful of the space and hearts of those listening.

If my words ever came at the wrong time, or in the wrong way, I hope you can understand where they came from—and I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you for seeing past my mistakes. Thank you for still being here. It means more than I can ever explain.

I was wondering what would happen if in an ABO family (lets say that its composed by Alpha x Omega parents + their offspring) the Alpha parent or the omega parent Suddendly died? In a world where every secondary sex has pretty specific roles and característics, would be interesting to see how much would a family dynamic change as soon as one of the parents its gone. Do you have any personal headcannons on this aspect?

sure see below -

no matter which parent died, in a hyper-traditional omegaverse the only answer is that that "position" would need to be filled. So the family wouldn't be see as disgraced by society, so that they could continue functioning internally, or to ensure familial longevity.

if the alpha parent died -

The omega would need to remarry. If they all lived in a pack structure, this wouldn't really be a big deal unless it was the head alpha that died. In that case, a new pack alpha would need to be elected and then would take on the responsibilities (and sometimes the partners of) the old pack alpha. In a duo partnership model (one alpha one omega), the omega would need to remarry to make sure they would have income for their family to survive.

Depending on where historically your story takes place - it wouldn't be uncommon for the omega to marry one of their alpha's unwed alpha/beta siblings. The omega might also marry a cousin or uncle. If the omega has children of marrying age - they might divert focus to getting that child married off to someone of good standing and wealth asap, as it would be acceptable for the omega (and any young children) to then move into the home of their eldest child's family/the child who would take over the alpha parent's role and title (if applicable). I

f you include bonding/soul mates into your au (and the late alpha was the omega's soul mate)- know that the omega could still remarry and while it's not impossible for love to blossom, all parties would go into it understanding that this isn't that same immediately all-consuming situation. That's not to say they couldn't eventually have a romantic relationship though.

if the omega parent died -

The alpha wouldn't have to remarry if they didn't want to, but they likely would as they'd probably be a hot commodity in their community with the singles and other widows/widowers. If the alpha didn't have children yet, they'd feel more social pressure to remarry - but if they did it would be easier to get by.

Losing one's omega requires a long and drawn out mourning process that can last many years. An alpha that takes another omega too quickly is regarded poorly.

During that period of mourning it wouldn't be uncommon for the alpha's omega siblings or parents (of any dynamic) to come to stay to help manage the children and other affairs. If the alpha is wealthy, they will normally hire more staff to make sure things go smoothly at home as well.

moral of the story -

either way, in the event of a death someone "new" would need to be brought in to fill the "role" and assume the responsibilities of the late-partner. It's not an easy transition, and depending on the rules of your au being a widow/widower might be extremely difficult. As much as the people left behind would want to grieve, they would always have to be thinking about what's next (especially a widowed omega) in the back of their minds.
