✦ What is this Blog?

------------------------

Some of you may know me already as @pack-the-pack. This, however, is not a blog for me to act as Pack, but as myself, Null. My main blog had an original intent of world building and things of this nature regarding Omegaverse. Over time though, it started to have a lot of other things and it also got a lot of Misce/Miscecanis content. Which isn't bad, per se, but I'd like to refocus my main blog, and use this one for more personal miscecanis related things.

If you asked me anything on my other blog related to misce stuff, I'll probably answer here. I hope you guys like this blog as much as me, dispite it featuring a lot of more personal and ~poetic~ content.

✦Maturing as an Alpha - an open letter for myself and other lost Alphas✦

I must admit that, although I stay firm in my beliefs regarding many things when it comes to miscehood and even what to me means to be of a certain dynamics, I nowadays feel I have a more complex and, dare I say, complete understanding of that it means to be an Alpha, and why me personally feel I could not be anything else even if I tried.

In the past I thought many times that a rigid mindset was what made me more Alpha, that I had to live my truth no matter what and that everyone else just couldn't or just refused to see it my way, which was "obviously so much better and made much more sense". But now, in my late 20s, and having lived a whole lot of new and unexpected things, I realize that rigid thinking and stubbornness don't make you a better Alpha, it just makes you a difficult one.

Which seems simple enough when said like this. But obvious doesn't always mean acceptable to many people. And I was no different.

Nowadays, I am able to realize that the strength comes from the choice to be non judgemental, empathetic and able to compromise with the people you care about the most. That growth is not about being "better" but more adaptable, and that many times, caring for someone is not about what you believe or what you care to defend in that moment, but about what that person needs from you at that time.

And yes, there will be limits to that, we all have our limits. There are things we're not willing to compromise or change, otherwise that wouldn't make us adaptable, it would make us fake and disingenuous. But it's not about lying to appease or please others, quite the opposite, is choosing the version of yourself that person needs at that moment, and all the versions are genuine, they're just needed at different moments.

To me Alpha strength is not about control anymore. But it's about compassion, understanding and empathy.

So if you're lost in your own thoughts, and you're hurting in your relationships as an Alpha, be them of whatever nature. Don't obsess over regaining control, just assimilate that control is not the end goal or the answer. A loving nature is.

I'm making a box to send to my Omega in another country. As a Misce!Alpha with a Misce!Omega for a mate, I'd like to give him more Misce-centric stuff too. What would you as a Misce Omega or Beta like to receive from your long distance mate?

[princesscolumbia]

The funny thing about being a True Domme transwoman in her mid-40s who's getting into miscecanis as a subversive lifestyle at the same time as the Barbie movie is coming out is witnessing the multitude of fuckboys lose their collective shit over being fucking called out by a movie that is basically an extended toy commercial that managed to squeeze in a message that strongly resonates with its true target audience of women who have been fucked over by an oppressively patriarchal culture with an equally effective B-plot about how men have been fucked over by the exact same culture.

M'dudes, there are a few things that are obviously slamming against your amidships and not penetrating the several inches of Fragile Mayo-l Eggo (as opposed to 'male ego,' a healthy and non-performative masculine sense of self usually found among elder gay men far more than their supposedly heterosexual contemporaries) that I'm going to put here in plain text. If you don't get it at this point, then you're fucked, there's no help for you. Go attempt a survival challenge in the middle of the Sahara and lose your compass and canteen. You'll be much more useful to the world doing that than continuing to ignore the following:

The 'theory' of "Alpha males" that you think you subscribe to? Yeah, it's a disproven theory that was misinterpreted in the first fucking place and you can all get FUCKED for thinking you're at all valid for claiming that title. Others have explained the science better than I, and just by claiming "Alpha" to justify the absolutely vile behavior you've proven you could give two shits about science or intellectual anything or human achievement or progress or culture or ANYTHING THAT'S HUMAN YOU HORRID, SUB-HUMAN PIECES OF WALKING SHIT! SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP! THERE ARE MUSHROOMS I'D RATHER CLAIM KINSHIP TO MORE THAN YOU!

A true Alpha in the miscecanis sense is the Ultimate Caregiver. Defined by more than biology, the Alpha's role in the relationship is to provide a safe and secure place for their mate(s) and to be selflessly loving and kind. This requires that the omega (or beta, I'm not judging. Two Alphas could be in a relationship too, though that gets tricky as you're dealing with, essentially, two tigers in a bag) feel as though you are the very foundation of their world and that foundation is as solid as pure granite but inviting as a squishmallow nest. That means you're more an engineer than a commander. You're more a facilitator than a leader. You're not some fucked up piece of shit who thinks that the tackle between your legs means you're superior to the person you're presuming to stick that tackle in.

Any true Alpha would take one look at you and say, "Oh, hun, it's okay, we understand that you think that's how Alphas work. Don't worry, your Alpha will be along soon and take you away from all the big scary Alphas that you wandered into the middle of." You're a spitting, hissing kitten. Another omega or a beta might be fooled, but a true Alpha will take one look at you and see right through the act. And every single one of them could take you down without breaking a sweat, but they won't because they don't want to be a bully.

And on the outside, the remote possibility that you did happen to be an actual Alpha, you'd be one of those toxic Alphas the omega's birthing person warned them about. You'd be the reason for the #YesAllAlphas hashtag. You'd be the reason omegas carried cans of pepper spray on their keychain at all times. You'd be the reason yet another challenge fight resulted in an "accidental" death after the rest of the Alphas in the area got sick of your shit and arranged for all the cell phones and security cameras to be conveniently off or broken.

I haven't seen the Barbie movie yet, but based on what I've seen from the spoiler-tastic reviews and memes and GIF-sets, here's what I'm betting a true Alpha would say:

"Wow, that Barbie's gotta be an Alpha, look at how she just owns the space around her."

"Yup, she's commanding and every one of those omegas around her are following her orders. Wonder how many of them she's marked?"

"Ouch! First time in a beta-only part of society, huh? Yeah, that sucks how they won't acknowledge your true gender and judge you based on your outward appearance and have no clue that you're an Alpha because their senses are impaired in comparison."

"Look at her defending her pack! Go girl!"

(Again, I haven't seen it, and this is through my particular interpretation of miscecanis as a lifestyle.)

On the other hand, I'm probably not going to get through to any of you. You got it into your head that you're somehow cosplaying as either White Savior Jesus or his boyfriend Emperor George Washington (who both personally wrote the bible in their native language of Late 20th/Early 21st Century American English and snuck secret messages in it to you telling you to hate all people with any melanin in their skin or any sex and/or gender preferences that you, specifically, find icky) and you got more invested in that persona than I have of being a miscecanis Alpha.

[miscealignment]

(intentional choice of gif lol)

Honestly /Y E S/. All of that!

Alphahood is often so villainized and pitched as a load of negative things because of asshats such as these.

As an Alpha I'm sick and tired of it.

Y'all don't know what it means to be Alpha even if it hits you with a 5 pound brick to the face.

You don't get to be dominant with your mate because "you're so manly and you have the right to hit that because you're so superior". You get to be dominant with your mate (if you want to at all to begin with) because you've submitted FIRST. Because you were vulnerable FIRST. Because you were willing to show no signs of aggression and let your mate choose what and when they wanted. You let them show you how you hold them. How to care for them. How to love them.

Alphas are protectors not tyrants.

We conquer through empathy and warth not brutality.

So yes to all of the above!

[miscealignment]

Day dreaming of my Omega mate.

His brown hair caught in the afternoon light.

His brown eyes creasing in a warm smile.

His little giggles when he's shy or content.

The way his hands stim when he's happy.

The silly things he says.

The warmth in his voice when he talks to his cat.

How I want to hold him close when he's stressing.

How I want to protect him of all the things that may harm him.

How I want to tell him it'll be okay.

And how I want to snuggle up to him under covers that provide little heat, this way we get to cling to one another more. Chasing each other's warmth.

[miscealignment]

were new to the misce community but we heard that specifically you had stuff about misusing the word misceverse but were having a little difficulty finding that so could you please maybe give us a link or summarize it for us? /nf /genq (sorry if phrasing is awkward it wasnt very clear what was wrong with the way people use misceverse? which is part of why were asking)

Hello 👋

Yes I don't just dislike the word "Misceverse", I despise it.

The way people use my term and its natural branchings annoys me to no end.

I created the term/terms for miscefolk (and to a certain degree alterhumans I suppose) to have something to identify under, not so people could treat it as just another fictional equivalent to omegaverse. People use the terms nearly interchangeably nowadays. Or worse they use it as a weird "misce + random fictional character/mythological creature" combination.

The misuse and bastardisations of my flag is also something that annoys me, but something I won't get into detail right now, but I think it's worth mentioning.

Im *my opinion* Misceverse is not an appropriate word to be used by any actual miscefolk person. I get into more detail as to why in this post right here.

Also just to be clear: Yes I'm aware that the nature of creation is that we have no control over what people do with our creation once it's set free into the world, especially on the internet. I certainly don't have the power neither the authority to make people stop using it if they so wish, nor do I want to have such things. I'm merely expressing my point of view and opinion on the matter since I was asked about it.

If you use "Misceverse" and like it, go off I guess. I just don't think it's something that should be used.

Born to nest and just be comfy, forced to deal with unbearable stress :(( wheres a cuddle pile when you need one akskjsksksksk

*Opens arms * Free Alpha cuddles at your service 😊

[beta-adjacent]

PSA to all alphas: let us take care of you, goddammit!!!!! Y’all don’t have to be at your strongest all the time. I don’t care what the stereotypes say; you’re not the sole leader of the pack. We are a team that relies on each other for support!!!! So let us fucking support you!!!!!!!!!!!

[miscealignment]

But-But If y'all are taking care of me, that means I'm not taking care of you properly 🥺.

How am I supposed to make y'all soup if I'm busy sweating from my eyes all over the floor hahahhaa /j.

The soup is gonna be too salty from the tears habhahahahha.

[miscealignment]

My brain has shut down.

All I keep thinking abt is this person I think I like.

It's sad lonely Alpha times around these parts.

*awoos sadly*

[miscealignment]

I want to dive into a lake and not come back up.

[miscealignment]

I've been sick for the past four days.

And it just makes me so angry, the realisation of how much of my day and my energy I spend in a job I do not care about and in a college I don't see a future in.

I have a single day of rest in the week and I work irregular hours. I'm tired.

All the things I enjoy doing, they're in my home, not outside of it. And maintaining my job to a bearable degree of acceptance is equally as tiring.

I hate having to wake up at the crack of dawn in order to eat something slightly healthy and in order to take the bus every day and hope not to get late. And if I sleep even 10 minutes more I either can't eat or can't make it there in time.

I hate having to cook batches of food to freeze so I can eat later in the week some semblance of a healthy food.

I hate that everyone in my job is unhappy all the time because the management in inept and the owner doesn't know what they're doing. The atmosphere sucks and I already go to work dreading all the problems and complicated situations I'll have to deal with and fix because half the team is incompetent.

I hate the entitled, dishonest, ill mannered customers that come to yell at me over things that are neither my responsibility nor within my control to change.

I am tired of being away from my house.

I want to work from home, but I don't have any skills that affords me that. I don't have a fancy degree I can wave around and say that it actually earns me anything. Heck, the college I'm doing right now is for graphic design, and I'm terrible at it!!!

I just wanted something, anything, to do from home. But I don't even know where to start to look. I don't know anything about this world or how to take advantage of it, because the people that were in charge of teaching me simply didn't. They just hoped I'd figure it out as I went along. Well I'm not that smart! So I fucking didn't!

All I have is a second language that everyone else has, no skills, no degree, an unstable mental health and a world of frustration.

And I'm just so tired.

[veebun]

Quick rant- one thing in Omegaverse discourse that I haven’t seen much of, if anything, is how affirming that it can be for transgender folks. Omegaverse, in the way that it is most commonly written, makes me as an AFAB person much more comfortable in my own skin.

As an AFAB person who enjoys penetration and being submissive, I find great comfort in characters who are unquestionably male to all of society having more ambiguous genitalia and the ability to become pregnant. Furthermore, these characters’ bodies can be extremely and irresistibly desirable.

My own body and desires often feel at odds to what I want them to be, but omegaverse content makes me think that maybe I’m not so wrong and mixed up. And I imagine I’m not the only person who feels this way.

[wrenwrenwretchedwren]

Honestly I was into omegaverse before I knew I was trans- (the egg cracked soon after) and it was a part of me realizing how gender perception has affected how I was identifying.

I'm nonbinary and it took so long for me to realize there is so much more than hyper-masculinity and hyper-femininity when it comes to gender, and it's even more than a spectrum.

Of course I'm telling no one in my real life about this cause I'm super afraid I'll either get 'like the sex thing' or 'wtf are you saying'

So yeah- that's how omegaverse "made me trans" lol

[miscealignment]

OP, you're not the only person who feels this way. Believe me. Perhaps you haven't seen much about it cause the "omegaverse" tag is mainly reserved for the fictional aspects of it. But you'll find plenty of people in the Misce community tags (aka: Miscecanis, Miscelupus, Misceanimalis, Miscevulpe, Miscefelis, Miscelapin, etc.) who feel just like you.

Maybe you should check those out. Perhaps you'll find other people to whom you can interact with and be perceived as an Omega first and an afab person second (if at all, in some cases). I myself have a discord server packed full of Misce people, I'm sure that if there is not your cup of tea, there's plenty of other communities and misce spaces you can feel at home in and like you belong.

The A/B/O community has afforded me and other Misce people the identity validation we desperately needed. For me it was mainly about being an Alpha. Of course I'm "overly assertive and unyielding for an AFAB person", I'm an Alpha. Of course I'd hate to have biological children who come from my own body, I'm an Alpha. Of course I'm not going to submit and roll belly up for nobody, I'm an Alpha.

See what I mean?

I'm telling you that you are or aren't Misce, OP. Or that it would even be beneficial to you if you were part of the community. But if you ever feel like hanging out with people like that, you're always more than welcome!

[omegan-dragon]

Being aromantic and misceanimalis is a little strange to be honest,

courting? I don't know her.

a mate in a typical sense? Nope.

[miscealignment]

Felt.

I love the idea of courting, but I'd be way too uncomfortable to do it the traditional way with someone else.

And mateship? We have a complicated relationship hahahaha

[blanco-queso]

Okay spill

Alphas, Omegas, and even Betas; you are--

An alpha, attracted to other alphas

An alpha, attracted to omegas

An alpha, attracted to betas

An alpha, attracted to everyone in the misce lifestyle

An omega, attracted to other omegas

An omega, attracted to alphas

An omega, attracted to betas

An omega, attracted to everyone in the misce lifestyle

A beta, attracted to other betas

A beta, attracted to alphas

A beta, attracted to omegas

A beta, attracted to everyone in the misce lifestyle

Alpha with preference for Omegas, but not adverse to cuties of Beta and Alpha Aligment if they're on the submissive side. It's less about the dynamics/second gender itself and more about the patterns of behaviour and natural inclinations within pack and mateship dynamics.

[huntress-den]

• ☽ CHILD OF THE CRESCENT-BORN STAR ☾ •

At the base of my spine I carry a truth live like fire,

Of fangs and claws, at my birth given none,

But my innards, they burn with a savage desire,

And I'm not my mother's lone only son.

For this body was cast on earth bare, weak and poor,

The moon that has birthed me, her power lays farther,

I want to embrace it, consume it and make it my cure,

My siblings, they fuel the flames just like fodder

For I'm not my mother's lone only son.

I've seen my reflection bright in true colour,

I dance to the goddess with chant that is sure,

I pray for the night to cleanse me like water,

And I ask for the moon to free her own daughter,

To make my spirit wild and pure.

I walk through the earth knowing now how to call this,

The child of animal alignment and soul.

I dream of my kin as one in the solstice,

Entwined, laid together, finally whole.

[soft-alpha-posting]

Okay you seem cool son I’m finally going to ask… what is misceanimalis/miscanis?? I write omegaverse stuff but I’ve never been part of the community rly… since I’ve started looking into it on tumblr I’ve seen a lot of stuff about misceanimalis and I just genuinely cannot figure out what it is. Is it like therian/other kin stuff? Something separate?

It's complicated tbh. I'm not super duper into the community like some people are, but I do love watching it.

Basically it falls into kin and therian stuff with behaviors and community interest, but it often lacks the spiritual connection(?) that you see in those communities. They are seperate things.

I view it as an identity like gender or sexuality mixed with role-playing.

So like when I lean into it I'm using scents and thinking about my mate and making my den. I'm doing alpha like things because the identity of alpha makes me feel happy.

I recommend looking through the tags and making some deductions from there. It's a lot of aesthetics and doing things that make you feel happy of comfy that lines up with omegaverse, if that makes sense?

Like furries aren't dogs but they'll act like their characters in suit. But you don't need a suit to act like an alpha, omega or beta. And it's less acting like an anime, though it's sometimes animalistic, hence the name.

If anyone reads this and wants to correct me on something feel free to. Just please do it respectfully cause I'm, as the name says, soft.

[miscealignment]

Nah I think the explanation you gave is pretty good.

For anyone curious, I'll try to elucidate further. When I and @spaceyomega created the term Miscecanis (and to a lesser extent miscelupus) originally it was something meant for people that had an "Omegaverse lifestyle".

At first it was more just people that performed as their chosen dynamics as a form of self-expression and as you said it, finding comfort and happiness in what Omegaverse-aligned behaviour could offer them. But as more and more people flocked towards the term, the more I noticed that it wasn't just people essentially role-playing, but people who genuinely identified as one of the dynamics. Either as a part of their gender identity and expression, their sexuality, or both.

I had countless people approach me and tell me that the term Miscecanis was such a game changer for them, because it offered them a word for something they felt even before knowing about it, and by extension offered them a community too.

It's not to say there's no relation to therians or otherkin, because there is an overlap. I see it on my omegaverse server, there's both non-humans and humans identifying Misce individuals. So to some it is about the more "inhuman" aspect of it, but not to all.

A lot of people gravitate towards it in order to alleviate body dysmorphia or gender dysphoria. It helps some people to come to terms with parts of themselves they maybe can't or don't wish to change.

I'd argue against the "non-spiritual" aspect tho. Cause I think it can offer some sort of spiritual tie. Maybe that's not the correct word, but I lack a more appropriate one right now. I don't pretend to be an Alpha, I am an Alpha. Always have been even when there was no word for it in my vocabulary. And the connection I feel with my inner Alpha, or "my true self" could be considered borderline spiritual me thinks.

And honestly, to me in particular, is something that has the potential to gain an even bigger meaning in people's lives. I said before that I wish I had a Warren, and while it was in a bit of a shitpost, I meant what I said. I want to live with other Misce people away in the woods/in a piece of land. Caring for our own, nurturing our own community, our own culture, traditions and rituals. To me that's the ideal life. Life in a pack is my true call for happiness.

It's not really a performance or a life-style for majority of Misce people I know and speak to on a daily basis. It's simply who they are.
