I have a question since you seem to know about the other ranks, theta iota and all that. Could you enlighten me about the ranks and what they mean? Like gamma is like a peacekeeper right? Well at least from what I think from the insight of what I had. I'm still a bit confused on the newer ranks I've never heard of, if they are new that is.

(I’m guessing you’ve seen me around @omegaverse-headcanons hm?)

I’m actually just dumping my own headcanons because I see people use those terms but each author is different in how they go about it but here’s what I usually see/think

THE RARE DYNAMICS (ranked by occurrence) 

Deltas (Δ) are socially submissive Betas (Β). Betas tend to be the right-hand man/woman, and then Deltas are the assistants to Betas. They don’t provide calming qualities like Betas do, but they are almost hyper-keen to things like attraction between two people, when a heat will occur, and what EXACTLY an Alpha/Gamma should do to win over a Omega/Sigma. They are also hyper-empathetic.

Gammas (Γ) are socially submissive Alphas (Α), they’re not as stubborn as their counterparts and are usually on the gentler side, but that doesn’t mean sweet Alphas are automatically Gammas. Gammas usually refrain from fighting and other shows of dominance, but don’t hesitate to smother Omegas with love. 

Sigmas (Σ) are socially dominant Omegas (Ω), they are just as aggressive as Alphas and often fight with one another. Also, as children, Sigmas and Alphas do typically fight with one another, but due to Sigmas being biological Omegas, they’re still weaker. Sigmas often tease their Omega friends about their nesting habits, as Sigmas do not nest much outside of heat and pregnancy.

And here we get into the crazier stuff that I really don’t add in my personal universe but they do provide variety and extra windows for darkfics if you’re looking for them: 

Epsilons (Ε) are the bridge between Alphas and Betas and only occur with an Alpha and a Beta parent. They are typically seen with Zetas (Ζ) and Iotas (I) Epsilons are similar to Alphas in their genitals but have the sharp teeth and scent of Betas. They do not have typical shows of dominance, but it’s very common for Epsilons to be cunning and tricking people to show their dominance (which is why people don’t trust Epsilons often). 

Iotas (I) are the bridge between Omegas and Betas. They go through shorter heats, and have the sharp teeth and scents of Betas. Iotas typically need to be forced or tricked into submission which is why it’s very common for Epsilons and Iotas to be mated. They do not nest, they don’t care for it. 

Zetas (Z) are the truly neutral. They don’t have pheromones or any special skills, and were actually considered genetically deficit until the late 20th century. Typically people will tell you Zetas are exempt from the hierarchy. 

Thetas (Θ) are actually super dangerous. Thetas have a genetic mutation (that assumedly is a mutated Beta gene) that causes their “calming scent” to knock people out entirely, and it’s not uncommon for Thetas to be recruited by the army as soldiers. Thetas are required to take medication that blocks their scent, but they can pass for Zetas or Betas in public. Typically exempt from the hierarchy. 

Complete hierarchy: 

Alphas

Gammas

Epsilons 

Betas

Deltas

Iotas

Sigmas

Omegas

Exemptions:

Zetas 

Thetas  

I’m probably going to make a sideblog for Omegaverse to keep it off my main blog for people who have questions for me about the extended a/b/o verse

sometimes i remember that arthur held merlin's head and looked into his eyes as he died, how ygraine said "your eyes. they were looking up at me. those few seconds i held you were the most precious of my life", and how he saw isolde requesting tristan to hold her even as they grieved over the dreams they didn't get to live. arthur requested to be held at his deathbed because he wanted to give merlin the same relief of knowing that you made someone's last seconds their most precious memory. even if the guilt will still be there, even if merlin will still have to keep on living the in the world they dreamt of building with only the memory of arthur, then at least their last memory together would be one where he was thanked for existing in arthur's life, because in the end that's the only thing that matters.

its so, so, so beautiful that arthur's death is paralleled to both isolde and ygraine's, actually. because it just shows how much love doesn't need to be defined - just that it exists. and i think when arthur held merlin's head and looked into his eyes, he finally understood what his mother meant when she said nothing is important except that he lived, that even if arthur was born of uther's betrayal it does not make her love him any less, and that he would have given her life willingly anyway. because in that moment, arthur was merely happy that merlin could live in the kingdom they built together, that even if merlin had lied to him, he did not love merlin any less, and that he now knew what he would have done had merlin confessed earlier - he would have chosen merlin over and over again. just like merlin never failed to choose him

The king listens to you. The prince learns from you. You can raise commoners to greatness and humble foolish nobles. But the court never could understand the power you hold because they can’t look beyond the jester costume.

One core trait of Phoenix Wright as a character that I rarely see discussed is how utterly evasive he is about his private affairs. It sticks out the most in AA4 when we see Phoenix from the outside, but "Phoenix won't tell anyone anything important unless he absolutely has to (and even then, he probably won't)" is by no means a new development for him.

From AA1 onwards, we see Phoenix dodge people's questions about his personal life time and time again. In part, this is by narrative necessity - Phoenix knows more than the player is meant to know in order to achieve the optimal tension curve. But AA takes his narrative shortcut and turns it into a real character beat.

Phoenix Wright is the most cagey fucker on the planet.

At the end of 1-1 Mia asks him how he came to befriend Larry and Phoenix dodges the question with a vague promise to tell her later - this also means that in all of his time working with Mia, he's never actually disclosed his full motivation for becoming a lawyer to her.

In 1-2, Maya asks him how he knows Edgeworth and he dodges, because of course he does. The same song and dance repeats at the end of 1-3. And despite Maya's repeated prodding by 1-4, Phoenix still has not told her a thing about his past. That's from October until December that Maya is left going ??? and her questions go nowhere.

Then, between AA1 and AA2, Edgeworth is presumed dead by suicide. Does Phoenix tell Maya about this? Absolutely not. He does not tell her in letters nor is he clear about it when they see each other again in person, months later.

What Maya gets once it's inevitable to talk is a vague 'he's gone' and no elaboration other than the request to not speak about him again.

This is Phoenix's default coping mechanism.

In AA3, there are numerous instances where he mentions forgetting Dahlia, not speaking her name again, etc. Edgeworth is 100% getting the 'person who hurt me too deeply to think about' treatment here.

But to not even tell Maya a vague overview on the matter, when Maya knew him too? Rough. And it just keeps going.

It's six months between telling Maya that Edgeworth is 'gone' in 2-2 and her finding out that 'gone' seemingly means' dead' in 2-3.

Maya complains about it, too. This isn't a matter of 'she never asked again', it's a matter of 'Phoenix is dodging all questions'. Gumshoe has to intervene in order for Maya to finally find out.

And finally in 3-5, does he tell anybody why he's going to Hazakura temple and why he seems interested in Iris? Absolutely not!

At this point we get Edgeworth openly acknowledging that Phoenix keeps his emotional cards extremely closely to the chest. When he states that he wants confirmation on whether or not he has met Iris before, this exchange happens:

Even as Edgeworth directly calls him out on being evasive and never actually speaking to people, all Phoenix can do is acknowledge that this is how he is by apologizing - but he won't change his ways.

AA4 Phoenix is really just a natural evolution of Trilogy Phoenix - Trilogy Phoenix is already evasive, already hates telling people about his struggles or accepting help... It's really no wonder that he'd isolate himself instead of reaching out once he gets disbarred.

Arthur can’t look Merlin in the eyes, whenever he tells him to leave:

He just can’t.

Merlin is the embodiment of “I quit.”:

“I should resign… Gaius, have you heard what I said? I said I should resign.”

“Do you think I sit around all day doing nothing?! I haven’t had the chance to sit around and doing nothing since the day I arrived in Camelot! I’m too busy running around after Arthur, and when I’m not running around after Arthur, I’m doing chores for you, and when I’m not doing chores for you, I’m fulfilling my destiny. Do you know how many times I saved Arthur’s life? I lost count. Do I get any thanks? No. I’ve fought Griffins, witches, bandits; I have been punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit, and all the while, I have to hide who I really am, because if anyone finds out, Uther will have me executed! Sometimes, I feel like I’m being pulled in so many directions, I don’t know which way to turn!” (a classic)

“I think it was a bird.” “That? That was definitely… A woman, screaming.” “Why couldn’t it have just been a bird?” “It’s never just… A bird.”

“No, I don’t really fancy it.”

“Yes, and maybe one day you will magically transform into a prince. But since magic is outlawed, that will probably never happen. Come on, let’s go.”

“SOME PIECE AND QUIET!”

“A man who’s alright does not pace, Gaius.”

“Nothing ever good happens in the Valley of the Fallen Kings. No one in their right mind would go there.” *get attacked by bandits* “NOT SO SECRET, AFTER ALL!”

“Maybe we should wait until it’s light.” “Or we could do it now, whatever it is that we’re doing. In the dark, when it’s incredibly scary and dangerous.”

“Not every day a servant gets to write the prince’ speech.” “*leaves*”

“Go ahead, I’m probably going to die anyway.” “Right, so that gives me, what? A one in forty chance of making it?” “So I’m not probably going to die. I’m definitely going to die.”

“Oh, and you… I’ve heard of how you—MISTREAT YOUR SERVANTS! THEY DO EVERYTHING FOR YOU, DO THEY EVER GET ANY THANKS?!”

“Percival! That is a sword, it does hurt!”

“I take it you didn’t come all this way just TO SMASH MY FAVOURITE POT!”

“Said that again!” “WHY?! HAVE YOU GOT ALE IN YOUR EARS?!”

“So… Your step-mother’s a troll.”

“You’re threatening me with a spoon?🤨”

“Yes, it’s almost like you have to work😁.”

“I’m enhancing it… For comfort, and ease of use.” “I’m just saying that… This belt is… One hole shy of perfection!”

Give my man a break, or another job💀.

Simple Google Docs -> AO3 posting script!

It’s been a little while since I saw one of these posts making the rounds and when I tried to look one up to share it had broken links, so I figured I’d make a quick one myself because there’s no such thing as getting the word out on this too much! 

POSTING FIC TO AO3 AND TUMBLR CAN BE FORMATTING HELL IF YOU’RE TRYING TO DO IT MANUALLY. But the lovely people of AO3 put this AO3 posting script (LINK TO GDOC HERE!) in their ‘Unofficial Browser Tools’ section of their FAQ: 

It’s pretty straight-forward. Follow the instructions in the FAQ, which are also numbered at the top of the sample script in the original doc you make the copy of. Once it’s a file copied to your own Google Docs you can open and edit it, pasting in whatever you wish to post to AO3. Then you just click the ‘Post to AO3′ (pictured below) menu, and the ‘ prepare for pasting into the HTML editor’ option under that, and BAM, instant HTML to post on AO3, or even just on Tumblr! 

Now if you’re used to using the Rich Text editors make sure you’re switched over to the HTML ones to upload your shiny new HTML versions of your fic! 

You can switch back to Rich Text to give it a look-over and make sure everything looks the way it should, or add in anything extra before posting! 

I hope this was easy enough to follow! I am, admittedly, not the best at explaining things but an attempt was made. I recently came across a few friends who didn’t know this existed so I figured a friendly reminder might help a few others as well!  

Happy posting! <3

Fic recs for whoever's looking:

1. My heart is readily yours by regulusrules. 11K, T.

“Merlin has magic!” It was all that Uther needed— that momentary hesitation in Arthur’s physique... that doubt thrusted upon him ever since the day he had blinked into a world without loving guardians... that silent second of shock emanating from both sides, surrendering to circumstance and fate. It was all that Uther needed to thrust the sword he had into the sorcerer’s chest.

2. and with my opened mouth i join the singing light by intothefirewego. 32K, M.

Merlin frowned, and tried to inhale, but choked on a cough. He opened his mouth, trying to speak but his mouth was sticky and full and he felt warm, warm, warm, warm spilling down down down down…

The world tilted on its axis a little bit, and Merlin leant into Arthur’s body. Why was the world tilting?

Arthur’s face shifted from annoyance to horror.
