Who am I?

Kaia, college student

This blog will have a/b/o stuff, probably me trying to worldbuild so betas actually make sense lmao. Might also post writing that actually includes them instead of the usual alpha/omega pairings.

Big fan of pack dynamics and speculative biology (at least until my head explodes, anaphi my beloathed)

Obligatory English not my first language so please tell me if anything is nonsensical

Can't wait to interact with everyone, and hope you'll stick around!

[bucketblabs]

Forgot to add here: Asks and comments are always welcome about anything. My version of the verse, specific HCs, my OCs, anything under the sun. I want to interact with ppl !!!

Everyone Purrs

I would like to spread my personal headcanon related to purring in omegaverse, which is that it’s something every designation can do and does do.

There are different types of purring and they each have a different purpose and meaning.

Purring is a great way for one to self-soothe when stressed, distressed, sad, or just in need of comfort. These sorts of purrs might sound a little broken and sad in the beginning, but eventually ebb into something that sounds more soothing.

Speaking of soothing, purring is also a great way to comfort those around you and has been scientifically proven to be beneficial to improving one’s mood and mental health.

Parents/guardians will purr while cuddling their pups or the pups in their care. They also purr as a way to help pups calm down when their emotions are high (ex. sad or upset). This sort of purring is steady and rhythmic in quality, the volume of these types of purrs are actually not loud in order to overpower the other sounds in the vicinity, but are instead just the right volume and frequency for the pups to focus in on.

Pack Purrs are a sort of informal therapy session, often set up to soothe families or individuals who have experienced a loss, extremely stressful situation, etc. These sessions often involve group hugs/cuddles where everyone purrs. The purring in these Pack Purr sessions are not unlike the way parents/guardians will purr to calm down upset or distressed pups.

Outside of purring for comfort/soothing, purring is also a way to communicate that an individual feels safe and loved with the person they are with. Newly bonded mates will purr a lot after mating as a non-verbal way of expressing their deep satisfaction, contentment, love, comfort, and joy about the mating. Typically mates don’t go out into public until at least a full day post-mating as this purring is often very annoying to others around them.

I love how deep you can go into world building with omegaverse. Specifically with the percentage of alphas betas and omegas and when secondary genders manifest. It may not seem like a big deal, but I find it really fascinating because it gives such interesting questions to explore.

Like secondary-gender education. Does it happen? How? When? Is there a religious text that isn't really clear on what to do during heats and ruts, but people twist it to just tell people to ignore itttt?

Are secondary genders a taboo subject around kids? Are heat suppressants as expensive as period products or contraception?

Are alpha/omega couples seen as only the sex they have, similarly to how queer people often are?

Maybe the a/b/o society is more sex positive because of the heightened biological need for sex for alphas and omegas? If this sex positivity only applies to them, what about betas? Are they expected to ignore itttt?

Also, love what you all are doing with alpha/alpha and omega/omega couples and the societal stigma around them, but most that I've seen are the same primary gender. How does that interact with hetero a/a or o/o pairings?

What I'm saying with all this is that I would live to be a sociologist in the omegaverse.

The aromatherapy industry must be so big in the omegaverse. Imagine, aside from the usual "calming scents", there would be services to tailor the blend to a specific person. Possible angst there if it's done post-death and no company can "get it quite right."

[bucketblabs]

Just got hit by a winning thought: Alpha that smells like melted butter. Imagine sticking your face in that, coating your blankets in it. Yeah it might make you hungry all the time, but you can't go wrong with something that smells so good (っ˘ڡ˘ς)

Ugh names are honestly always the hardest part for me. Character names, fic names, I just wanna vaguely post about characters damn it !!!

[bucketblabs]

Oh also before I forget, asks and comments are always welcome about anything. My version of the verse, specific HCs, my OCs, anything under the sun. I want to interact with ppl !!!

What's been rotating in my head is an omegaverse pack dynamics which is a sort of polyamory in that not everyone is in a romantic or sexual relationship with each other. Some are just pals, but everyone lives under one roof. I'm still playing around with the idea of "pack head" and if 1. Such a thing exists in modern times to give packs some structure or 2. If it would be an Alpha/beta thing only in that omegas usually do not fill the role

[bucketblabs]

I am cracking my knuckles over here cause I can't keep saying I'll write but never do. It doesn't have to be perfect it just has to exist!!! And I have many thoughts about oc pack in my head.

[itsfortheplants]

the hardest thing about writing a fic is not always the writing itself but the crippling fear of looking like a self-important dickhead when you post little teaser excerpts or talk about your work unprompted 😭😭😭

[bucketbeta]

It's always interesting seeing how different folk write omegaverse. I've always been interested in cataloguing the different "flavors" so to say. I do wonder if we'll ever get to a point in the fandom where more widely understood labels are used so everyone can better understand what they're getting into 🤔

Anywho here are the types of omegaverse mental workings(?) I've come across

• That's me if I had a tail:

The more primal/instinctual side of the secondary sex are more akin to impulsive/intrusive thoughts (depending on the situation) not a seperate entity, simply a different facet of the person

• That's my dog:

Symbolically/metaphorically there is a wolf in people's heads. Displays wolf-like behavior (wagging tail, flopping over) but all in the person's head. Represents primal/instinctual thought without any words shared with the person.

• Logic/Instinct are roomates and they're both in your head:

The "instinctual" entity can take over (drops/dropping) capable of limited speech, may hold differing opinions from the person they inhabit. May have different memories/experiences if one state is dormant while the other is active. Oftentimes when taking over the "instinctual" side has an inability to do normal human things (speak eloquently, use devices)

• Fantasy drama:

There is a literal wolf inside you. Has a different set of experiences and wisdom from the person they're inhabiting. Speaks to the person but usually cannot take control of the body. The wolf is supposedly a type of ancient spiritual being.

[bucketbeta]

I wonder if domesticated animals in the omegaverse (perhaps dogs in particular) would have evolved to understand scent cues the same way they recognize human facial expressions.

Additional thought, what if some breeds have ways to mimick certain scents, the same way some dogs have developed eyebrow movement to be more endearing?

[bucketbeta]

I wonder what kind of surnames would arise in the omegaverse, if there would be functional surnames at all. Like does a pack share a surname? What would legally be constituted as a pack? Lots of folks live together nowadays without being registered as married or whatnot. Would surnames only be used to denote lineage in a world where pack fusion and fission is fluid?

[bucketbeta]

Ough the brainworms are getting to me. I'm tempted to record or edit audio bites of the omegaverse vocalisations so my wiki has more supporting representation

[bucketblabs]

Table's not final, don't think it will ever be, so might as well post it. Trying to kick the perfectionism habit. Anywho, these are the vocalisations I believe exist in the omegaverse:

Like with all communication, meanings can vary by context, individual, or socialization. However what I'd like to highlight is that no matter the designation, all people/beings possess the same vocal chords and are therefore able to make any sound.
