#how the FUCK does lewis look taller than max

Ye no, George is clearly a non-ordinary omega, of course it doesn’t mean he can’t be a mega cunt who serves on main when it’s needed, and as it was stated many times before, frame does not define a being. Lewis for ex being defined petite and omega is so risible bc he’s clearly an alpha and somehow manages to look broader than George that is quite taller than him. Changing the topic a bit, I have no idea how George manages to be so clumsy and effortlessly elegant at the same time 💙
I mean, TO AN EXTENT, there is nothing that can truly define what makes someone a/b/o because just like sex and gender in real life, it’s a societal construct- BUT WE AREN’T GOING INTO THAT TODAY
It’s also why I never like to say someone CAN’T be something. I respect people’s right to write omega Lewis but I’d rather die than write or read it.
It’s just super not for me, something something I use Lewis to experience gender euphoria and George to experiment with gender expression. Putting Lewis in the position of omega gives me the opposite, just a sort of skin crawling dysphoria. On the flip of it, I’ve read one alpha George and Alpha Lewis fic where the entire purpose was how George was non traditional, emotional, and wanted lewis to fuck him anyway. That’s the only way I can ever envision reading that (and the author did a great job)
And that’s literally, specifically a me problem. But also, I like to make stupid jokes. When I say “Lewis is an alpha we won’t be discussing it” like, I have my reasons, but usually I’m just dicking around with my friends. We are writing about straight sports people experiencing fictional dynamic heats, the moral bar isn’t on the floor, it was thrown out of the window the second we entered.
I like writing about Lewis as an alpha because I can explore both how he bucks alpha tradition but also would be criticised for not doing so. Everything Lewis does is controlled, careful, and weighed up against how others perceive him, he has never treated betas or omegas poorly, and his more than happy to be told what to do by his omega race engineer, beta stratergist, and so on. He is calm and non aggressive, only getting angry in the car, height of restraint out of it. He would be accused of being a threat in the paddock if he was anything less, but his easy and light nature also gets him accused of hiding a different designation because he doesn’t get to get away with what alphas like max or fernando do.
On top of this I’ve got a thing for exploring alpha bonds and networks! We often talk about how omegas cling to others but it’s really interesting to flip that and discuss genuine non toxic masculinity for alphas, the way Lewis seeks omegas in his circle for comfort non sexually, betas for balance. How he and Toto handle their disputes calmly despite both being alphas. And then there’s Lewis and Val who I could talk for HOURS upon HOURS ABOUT. How their brotherly bond keeps both moored when they’re struggling, how they release tension with wrestling around and nipping and rumbling. How as much as Lewis can laugh when he finds George and Bono working on new, elaborate nests, he grins just as warmly as George rolls his eyes when he falls into their bed reeking of happy brotherly cuddle time.
And on the flip side I like writing and talking about George as an omega because it’s so much FUN. There’s a side of it where I use stories around him to explore what sexism would be like for omega members of the paddock, how he and his body would be treated differently, to explore trauma surrounding periods and getting wet when you don’t want to. About feeling betrayed by your own body.
But sometimes I just like having fun! I like contrasting their leadership styles, how like I’ve said before, Lewis’ roll as an alpha is often protective and rounds up the pack and keeps them stable. George pushes them forward, higher, faster, he has faced so much to get here and he uses that drive to keep going, to ask for more. I like interweaving that with Lewis to create this balance, push and pull, ambition and positivity. I like then taking that to the track and reminding everyone how none of it matters as soon as the helmets go on.
They fit well together for the same reason I like writing about normal George and Lewis! I like how they’re so different but so so similar, how they respect each other. How they build their lives together
And of course, a/b/o smut is kinky as shit and I LIKE it, sue me.
Idk what this is, a long tangent on why I like a!lewis and o!george? That got accidentally deleted like 4 times? Sure
