#omegaverse theory

[omegaversetheory]

hello!!! (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠) I'm new to omegaverse, as in, I didn't know it was a thing 45 minutes ago new. i like angsty stuff, so when I searched for sad omegaverse fanfics, I found lots of stuff about 'Omega Rehabilitation Facilities'. The problem is, I can't figure out what that is (⁠T⁠T⁠)

would you maybe be able to explain what that is, please? it would be greatly appreciated :D (⁠^⁠^⁠)

hello!

omega rehabilitation facilities are places that omegas can go after experiencing trauma such as sexual abuse, homelessness, etc... Imagine a cross between a shelter and a community center that offers a slew of different resources.

peanut gallery, what other interpretations have you seen? help our asker out!

[beatingthedeadhorse]

Let's start some discourse!!

One of the things often overlooked in A/B/O or Omega-verse stories and media is how trans people, or those who wish to be a different sub or primary gender, are represented and handled. I've read a couple of threads around the net of people who realised they were Trans or gender non-conforming due to the genre, and so I would like to hear the peoples' thoughts on how this should look in an Omega-verse setting. How do you think it would be managed? What worldbuilding would be around it? Would certain cultures make it illegal? Would it be something biologically natural or easy to do as a choice, by exposing oneself to different stimuli to promote the emergence of a new gender?

How would this look to you? Have you read any interesting Fics that explore this concept? Let me know!

Alecto Prediction #11

We’ve seen through Corona that when people from the Houses join Blood of Eden, they receive a new Edenite name. We aren’t told who gave her the name Crown Him with Many Crowns in NTN, but I believe that we will find out that it was Pash. It makes sense if we think about which biblical figure Pash correlates to: John the Baptist. In baptism, a person is christened with a name, just like Corona was christened Crown. But John the Baptist is called the Baptist not just for baptizing the average Tom, Dick, and Harry. He also baptized Jesus. And we have a perfectly good lesbian Jesus ready in the wings to ask to be baptized.

This is why I believe that Gideon/Kiriona will join BoE and Pash will give her a new name.

Ghoul maybe it’s bc I’m acespec but I’ve always related the most to betas and have always felt that they should be the rarest and not alphas or omegas (I also hate the idea of rare meaning that people may only know like one, 1% of a million is still 10,000)

You're totally valid in this my love, I am saying that right out of the gate. I love when acespec folks weigh in on kink and fic tropes like this because y'all provide such an interesting perspective that I (as an allo person) don't have.

I think this is one of my issues with traditional a/b/o as well. The way that betas are treated and categorized feels very much not only as a cultural other, but also as sexless. Which is great for acespec folks, but also makes me wonder about ace omegas or ace alphas.

I am firmly against any endotype being considered "rare" simply because again I view it as a sliding scale.

Lets say this is the Alpha-Omega scale with Alphas as yellow and Omega as blue. A "true" beta would be that nice green in the middle, but really anyone could be anywhere on this scale. Betas would range from high spectrum(leaning alpha) to low spectrum (leaning omega) and similarly omegas and alphas could be "low spectrum" meaning they lean more towards beta. It's just the amount of each hormone you have in your body.

I don't think sexuality is tied to any one endotype the same way I don't think sexual proclivities are. Omegas aren't all bottoms, alphas aren't all tops. Everyone has a heat/rut cycle it's just how strong it is, and just like in normal humans it's a miserable hormone addled experience for some, and a breeze for others. There's no reason an omega or alpha couldn't be ace, heat/rut doesn't turn you into a sex crazed animal, it's just the point of time when you're most fertile. It's ovulation, or a period, or idk what it would be for amab folks. The time of your cycle when you're moody and just want to lay down for a week.

Back to my issue with betas in traditional omegaverse fic. They've always felt like just... the other ones, the normal humans. It always felt to me like an exclusionary designation, and that just doesn't sit right for me. It's saying "well you're not a top or a bottom so I guess you don't matter." AND AGAIN it reduces a whole subset of people to a stereotype. I fucking hate that, let people be people, let the human experience be varied and beautiful!

I don't see why any endotype can't be any thing. Alpha/Beta/Omega, whatever you are you're still a person with your own thoughts, feelings, sexuality, and gender. No endotype can be defined by any one thing, there may be expectations, but there are expectations on us now and we still define ourselves by more than that.

Ace Omegas who spend their heats with their friend because they need someone to remind them to eat and take their pills while they're laying face down on the floor with cramps. Who sit on the couch during their friend's rut and hold their hair back as they lay over the arm of the couch and try not to vomit because the hormones make their head spin.

Ace Alphas that get anxious about their roommate's heat because there aren't not enough blankets in the apartment and- no- you stay right there, I'm going to get you some soup. Ace Alphas that spend their rut crying at videos of kittens learning to walk and stealing their qpf's pillows because they're fluffier than the ones in their room.

Ace Betas that get side eyed when they sniffle during a movie because betas are supposed to be the unflappable ones, the ones that don't get emotional over nothing. Ace Betas that build nests. Ace Betas that spray their friend with scent neutralizer after a heat because they fucking STINK, shoving their friend in the bathroom to shower while they figure out cleaning up the house.

Idk. do you get what I'm saying?

Sheldon from Big Bong Theory is an Alpha

[soars22]

We’re uh… we’re not gonna survive this week without qsmp, are we?

[itsanidiom]

Since there is nary an Omega in sight I must say the Pit Babe Omegaverse is coming off a bit…Alphaverse…

Let’s gooooo~ We are now two (2) episodes into Pit Babe, and I still have no idea what is going on with this version of Omegaverse. BUT I have some ✨theories✨

Theory #1:

Since there are no Omegas or Betas so far, I think that “Alpha” is positioned as an umbrella type of superhuman subspecies.

There are “regular Alphas” who seem to have some pheromones, and some Alpha’s who do not, like Charlie. None of these Alphas seem to have particularly specific abilities.

Then there are the “special Alphas”, like Babe. They’ve got specific heightened sense abilities and they’re hyper-sexual (?).

Now some Alphas also seem to have some kind of strength ability, as demonstrated by Charlie in episode two, but we could also chalk that up to the character just being strong, so not sure what’s going on there.

Anyway, the bottom line is that apart from the use of the word Alpha, I don’t feel like this is Omegaverse. It feels like elements of Omegaverse have been taken and implemented into a different thing. One notable reason is that, in Omegaverse, usually an Alpha/Alpha pairing would be in some way seen as controversial, but here it’s not. And we’ve gotten brief mentions of pheromones and one mention of hormones and menopause, but that felt more like a sexist joke than a in-verse suggestion that Babe, an Alpha, can get pregnant (?).

At the end of the day, if you took “Alpha” in this case and replaced it with “Super”, the plot could stay the same it would just be a made up “Super” subspecies.

That’s all I got for now…But I’ll be on the lookout for the elusive Omega to show up in the Pit Babe Omegaverse. 👀

Theory #2:

The vocabulary is just off (?). In a regular Omegaverse these characters’ subspecies would read as:

Alpha = Submissive Alpha

Special Alpha = Dominant Omega

Normal = Beta

Thinking about their dynamics this way might help, but no one really subscribes to any traditional Omegaverse archetypes? Again need to wait and see. 👀

Welcome, Overview & Navigation

Under consistent development~

Hello, my friends and welcome ! My name is Nor and my pronouns are she/it/he interchangeably !

p.s. while i base quite a lot of my headcannons off of the common variations of the omegaverse - most of the following headcannons are of my own creation !

Ok, so starting from the beginning:

In the Omegaverse / A/B/O universe there is, in addition to “regular” sex and gender, a secondary sex/secondary gender(s). These are what I call Classification’s.

These Classifications are as followed:

All of these traits depend on the individual but they are the most common.

Alpha-Centric: about 28% of the population. Often in positions of power, always stronger and occasionally taller than Betas and Omegas, higher energy (comparatively), brash, protective of their own & their possessions. Alphas also go through Ruts.

Alpha • True Alphas are the epitome of the strong, dominant, pack leader attitude.

Iota • In comparison to True Alphas, Iotas are more motherly but still quite brash.

Sigma • Sigmas have much weaker urges and instincts.

Beta-centric: about 30% of the population, larger than Omegas but smaller than Alphas (relatively), amazing at purring, good pack mates.

Beta • True Betas are not just neutral. Betas have specific scents/behaviors/traditions, they’re the best classification at purring, very adaptable.

Delta • Deltas are Betas with some Alpha urges.

Gamma • Gammas are Betas with some Omega urges.

Omega-centric: about 23% of the population. On average they’re smaller than both Alphas and Betas. Often they end up as parents or homemakers. They go through Heats.

Omega • True Omegas are what you think of when you think A/B/O. Parental, submissive, defferant to their mate.

Zeta • In comparison to True Omegas, Zetas are more dominant - still not as much as Alpha variants but they’re on the level of a Sigma or powerful Beta variant.

Theta • Thetas have much weaker urges and instincts.

Kappa • about 7% of the population. Kappa’s are individuals with dual secondary gender’s - essentially they’re switches. For instance an Alpha-Beta or a Gamma-Delta could simply call themselves the all encompassing Kappa.

and

Epsilon • about 12% of the population. Epsilon’s are the only man-made secondary gender. Epsilons occur when someone takes enough suppressors that they loose their original instincts, urges, and scent.

everybody thinks it’s all fun and games being gay but they don’t know the reality of having to explain omegaverse to your professor because you thought about gender theory too hard

how would merpeople/sirens/octomer work in omegaverse?

I have no idea!

Ethnic Groups and their differences - brief

This can be an incredible way to explore how many different cultures view gender-norms, and their role in society. It can also be up to the writers discretion on how they portray specific ethnicities and how their people display A/B/O, however, the purpose of this distinction in different ethnicities should be to uplift people, not to bring them down – looking at you, writers who consider the western approach to be the norm, when it isn’t even the norm in western society. How’s that 5/6 divorce rate feel? Anyway.

A general idea on how to extrapolate on this effect is this – how do peoples bodies change in different environments? In areas where people face real predators – like jaguars, and bears – would it be safer for Omegas and Alphas to have less of a scent and simply have better senses? In places where food is scarce most of the year, perhaps the Omegas and Alphas sync their ruts and heats to either whenever the harvest is plentiful – whenever their fat reserves reach a certain amount – or simply every year when spring begins? Perhaps extreme environments, such as hot deserts and humid jungles, will force Omegas and Alphas to sweat without a scent, and to have less heats, and perhaps colder places will allow couples and families to intentionally spark heats to create warmth? Perhaps you could even have certain ethnicities that lack the sensory range of others, or vice versa, or have ethnicities that display differently due to their environment not requiring such extreme differences in strength, like New Zealand and some island nations, where there were no natural predators, perhaps allowing the Omegas to develop into being as strong as, or perhaps stronger than their Alpha counterparts in moments of high stress. If the world is post-fallout, especially a radical kind, such as chemical warfare, perhaps the world lives in greater extremes, creating whole new ethnicities in places that live life differently, and are biologically sometimes adjacent to their neighbours.

The most important part to stress would always be that the people would match their environment, and that another people entering, and enforcing their worldview would go incredibly poorly, even if they are seemingly more in the right – such as cold weather ethnicities valuing small, close units, as opposed to large desert-based communities who share their resources for safety and survival. It’s all about a matter of perspective, and the way in which different ethnicities – such as Old Celtic and Gaelic and Picti Britain and their subsequent invaders – interact and raise children and families can be a brilliant way to examine and deconstruct gender, culture, ethnic influence, and society as a whole.

It would also be interesting to explore what kind of Omega and Alpha beauty standards exist due to the environment around them – such as the continent of Australia, where being tidy and clean is the most attractive feature someone can have, versus perhaps a resource scarce country, who value partners who are evidentially eating well. It is interesting to note that, recently discovered by anthropologists, peoples in desert countries acquire and store fat in different ways and forms to peoples in cold weather countries. Which is another consideration a writer can use when writing in different perspectives! Something one character is ashamed of – such as thicker than usual in their culture and ethnicity thighs – can be considered incredibly attractive to another character due to their culture and ethnicity placing heavy importance in the presence of such features. Perhaps even an Alpha who is ashamed of having a quiet voice, being from a country in Europe, is considered incredibly attractive to other varieties of Ethnic Omegas and Betas because a ‘quiet Alpha is a good warrior and a hunter’. Writers can go as ham as they want with this, because it’s a real thing in our actual world! Exploring the differences in beauty standards from different ethnicities and cultures can be an incredible experience.

WIP Wednesday Silvered Perceptions Chapter 3

Happy Humpday, I went through a ringer of a day at work today. Mind you not really at work, cause YAY work from home! Still, brain fried and spoon count is seriously low. SO, I have decided to share a snippet of the next chapter of Silvered Perceptions with you lovely people. We’re back to Kinn in this chapter and he’s being a menacing mafia boss... which is an excellent look on him! Sadly no cocktails this week, but they will be back soon!

Enjoy!

Waltzing into a meeting of the Italian mafia is a ballsy move on his part, but Kinn feels that sending a message should be done with some level of style and panache. Don doesn’t seem to agree based on his irate reaction. Kinn thinks that’s a personal problem.

They had to squeeze the time and place of this meeting out of one of the spies from the Italian mafia. Everyone in this business is aware that the other clans and families are always trying to slip people in to get information. It’s part of the game. Who can find the mole first, and what can you do with them once you’ve found them? Kinn believes that with the proper application of misinformation, a mole can become an asset. Occasionally, they can be used and dumped as needed. With the importance of sending a message back to Don, he felt this little spy could be wasted for a particularly good opportunity.

“... outrageous Kinn! This is a private meeting that you should not be…” 

Kinn spends a second checking that Don is still on his tirade before assessing the room. It’s full of Don’s leadership and the heads of the minor families tied to the Italian group here in Bangkok. There are only about six people in the room outside of Don’s enforcers. The Italian presence here isn’t weak, but it’s not large.

Kinn walks around the table to stand opposite Don, who is still spitting mad, and looms over the man currently seated there. The frantic scramble of the other man causes leaking panic hormones as he moves to get out of the chair. Kinn lets himself smirk. 

Settling into the now vacant seat, he levels Don with his most unimpressed look. His security has already swept through the room, disarming Don’s men. The other alpha is letting off sulphuric scents of anger and upset. Kinn just barely stops himself from fanning the scent from his face.

Last time they met, he played nicely. Ignored the homophobic jokes and generally didn’t make as much of a fuss as he could have. Things have changed now. Don will answer for his actions the other night.

“We need to have a chat about how business is done in Bangkok.” Kinn doesn’t raise his voice; he doesn’t need to. The room is silent as soon as he opens his mouth.

Don leans back in his chair, likely inhaling for another tirade. Kinn isn’t going to give him the chance. He ignores the others in the room; they’re inconsequential.

“Things have changed. My father is not in charge of the family. I am. Which means you answer to me.” He pauses here to let the message sink in.

Don scowls in dislike at his words. Tough shit.

“Not only did you try to kill me, you then brought an unrelated civilian into our mess. That kind of risk is not acceptable.” The growl in his soft voice is enough to snap the men behind Don into high alert, not that it means anything. He could put every man here on their knees, but he’s above that kind of blunt show of power.

Don scoffs. “Are you so sure the boy is unrelated?” He turns to the other men at the table, seeking their approval. The others dodge his eyes, twitching in their seats. Kinn smells the sour stench of fear choking up the room.

Titling his head, Kinn ponders — Don doesn’t seriously think that Porsche is on his payroll, does he?

“I take a couple extra looks at a pretty bartender, and you all assume that they are someone of significance to me?” 

He’s lying through his teeth of course, but Don doesn’t need to know that. The less important they think Porsche is before Kinn has him safe behind the compound’s walls, the better. 

Chess may be his father’s game, but Kinn has always excelled at poker.

Next chapter will be up in the next couple of days! @luckydragon10 got her claws on it already so we just have a few finer details to iron out before I can share it with you all!

I like to think I’m a problem solver :)

[feyravenchatter]

This is that plot bunny. The one that I've mentioned in tags so many times now. The one where I cleaned out canon's house, rearranged all the furniture, and am haunting the place like a primary-colored poltergeist. This one, as long as it's going to end up, will also have 2 prequel pieces to cover a few things happening before the main plot.

Time is nebulous, which means I have no idea when tf this is set, although it’s technically post-s6, kind of, canon timeline means nothing, they’ve been out there a while, like a five years a while, alpha Lance, omega Keith, mpreg after the first couple-ish chapters, nsfw, very very canon divergent, omegaverse, No Blades or Paladins were harmed in the writing of this fic, except maybe Keith, there is stress and drama and angst, and all this stress is bad for the babies, both klance and their spawn

·::·★·::·

During a battle to liberate yet another planet from the empire’s rule, Keith is feeling his heat coming on, and has been since the night before.  His reaction times are slower than usual, and he has a few near misses.  He convinces himself that no one noticed those slips bc he never actually got hit.  He really should have known better than that.

Klance talk immediately after the battle because Lance noticed Keith slipping.  Pack knew he wasn't feeling great the night before, but didn't know how bad it was.  Lance goes to find Keith first to ask about it and while he knows about the irregular heats, he’s only now finding out about the infertility diagnosis.  Keith dismisses it, saying that he's gotten used to it and knows he'll never have children of his own.  Lance is upset for him, and lets slip that not having their own wouldn't bother him, leading to his admitting that he's kinda-sorta-maybe had a thing for Keith for a while.  Keith then admits that he's kinda-sorta-maybe had a thing for Lance for a while as well, but doesn't think any alpha would want him due to his sterility.  Lance tells him that that really doesn't matter to him, because adoption is always there and that he still wants a relationship with Keith despite him being /broken/.  Keith is still feeling gross from his coming heat, and Lance decides they’ll talk more about their new relationship later.

While Keith is napping, Lance attempts to, but only lays in bed, trying not to think about how exhausted he is from two major battles in as many days, which leads him to thinking about the planet from the day before, Xuvelten, and how odd the Xel are.  The race has a cultural obsession with balance, their entire civilization and religion built around the concept.  They firmly believe that everything, good or bad, must have a counter, and that to disrupt balance is to disrupt reality.  Lance shivers at the memory of the tour around their central worship site, an artificial cavern roughly carved into a mountain, and the god-spirits that are inside.  Each has their own, smaller, altar and worship place, god-spirits dedicated to almost everything, and each with a direct opposite.  It had unnerved not only him, but the rest of the pack as well, especially with the Xel’s insistence that their god-spirits were actual entities and not concepts.  They had willingly joined the coalition, thrilled at the idea of assisting to restore universal balance.

Lance’s half-asleep thoughts are interrupted by an intercom announcement from Allura that they’re heading down to Atruvela in 1 varga.  He’s pretty sure Keith didn’t hear that, and rolls out of bed, changing into his formal outfit before going to wake his newly-named omega.  Lance was right, Keith didn’t hear the announcement, waking him with the knock on his door.  He relays the message, but doesn’t come in, listening to Keith changing from the hall.  A few minutes later, he’s met with a frustrated, whining Keith.  He’s still half-asleep and can’t seem to figure out how the buttons on his blood red silk waistcoat (that Lance had convinced him into to begin with) work, pouting at his new alpha.  Lance knows that it’s his heat and helps with the buttons, asking if Keith heard him about them leaving and getting a grumbled answer.

Lance is a little concerned that his heat is too close for him to be able to join them, but decides not to say anything about it, knowing what the reaction will be.  When the entire pack meets up in the ballroom, the pack notices, but Keith swears that he's ok enough to go down to the planet, despite objections from Shiro, and especially after Allura tells them that they're all expected to be there for the celebration and negotiations.  Lance sticks close to him after letting Pidge and Hunk in on what's going on (about Keith’s incoming heat, but nothing else).  They both agree to keep an eye on Keith as well in case he gets any worse.
