Welcome to my sideblog!

Hello! You can call me Kit, I'm an American Black Bear Therian, and a member of the miscemunity. I am an Alpha.

This is a sideblog to share my misceursus experiences. Also just to headcanon and create misceursus content in general. I may also talk about my therianthropy as the two intertwine quite a bit.

In case it wasn't super clear DNI ZOOPHILES AND MINORS. I will block if you make me uncomfortable.

I am an American Black Bear but I will also post about other bear species.

I was wondering, do you ever mentally assign people misce dynamics in your head for non-misce people you know?

In general I try not to headcanon irl people as anything, but there are parts of me that think "maybe this would resonate with you". I wish I could be more open about it with people around me but people are still weird about misce.

Beta Behaviour in Misceanimalis/Misceverse

As many others I have noticed that Betas tend to get ignored in this community, and are just labelled as “normal” or essentially dynamic-less or at best as neutral soothers. If you identify this way all power to you, however I have decided to establish my own headcanon of behaviour that personally resonates for the Betas in our system, and seemingly another Beta outside of it. If this resonates for you too, I would love to know. :) I hope this brings you joy and affirms your identity.

General Temperament

Like the current understanding, I also believe there is a level of cool-headedness and deep focus to be at the core of a Beta’s instincts. However one of the most important aspects about Betas in terms of pack dynamics is their desire to establish wider territory. Alphas and Omegas have been established in the past as homemakers, homebodies that stay indoors and den and nest and create one safe haven. However I believe that Betas are very different in that they crave going outdoors and being aware of who is in their surroundings and the territory that they have set in their mind. Betas are prone to cabin fever levels of annoyance at being indoors but doing things like opening windows can improve their overall mood.

What Betas do instead of Nesting or Denning

Typically Betas do not nest or den but instead do an activity known as “Sprucing” where they will go into established pack homes (or their own if they do not have a pack) and adjust things. Unlike Omegas whose main goal in nesting is comfort and Alphas whose main priority is security when denning, Beta sprucing behaviour is based around ease of access and maintaining order amongst the chaos.

Sensory Seeking Behaviour and Beta Senses

Betas in general crave a specific type of contact known as deep pressure, and have particular parts on their body which are more sensitive to this contact or that they like to be squished. In one specific spot it can help a Beta get into headspace and it is similar to scruffing but not quite as scruffing is about going loose and unaware. However Beta headspace is focused in and is cool and calm. Betas love weighted blankets and any sort of soft weighted object with which they can comfort themselves with. A Beta's sense of smell is not as strong but they are more sensitive visually and hearing wise, which aids them with their outside and wider territory protection and maintenance instincts.

Beta to Beta Interactions

Betas are great together and often tend to go in groups. While it is unusual to see a pack formed purely of one dynamic, it is possible for Betas to form a cohesive pack. One of the most important behaviours that Betas do with each other is called linking where Betas will get in a very tight hug with each other so every body part is touching. They will then gently squeeze each other and hum to each other to express their joy. It is a social taboo to separate Betas during this time as they are both vulnerable and protective of each other. Betas also enjoy holding parts of other’s body parts in their mouth such as an arm, a hand or a finger and lightly bite down. It helps them feel secure and is a soothing behaviour. This is not Beta to Beta exclusive but is often performed with other Betas.

Beta Cycle

Betas experience a cycle commonly known as Ardor that lasts anywhere from three days to a week. During this time they feel cold, need extra pressure and feel contained by being inside. They don't like to be inside and they need to patrol their territory for a long time which can lead to exhaustion and fatigue so often their pack need to help them (usually other Betas walking with them) or help them warm up with a nice warm bath or letting them organise things and giving those deep pressure hugs and lots of linking. Their behaviour during this time is restless and they are very distressed if unable to confirm the safety of the territory. At the end of Ardor once a Beta is satisfied truly with their territory they will attempt to find a partner to be with. However the majority of Ardor is non-sexual and is instead focused on the safety of the group. Some Betas do not feel the sexual urges at all.

[misceursus]

Extra tidbits:

Betas cuddle pile a LOT because of that deep pressure seeking.

Young Betas and sometimes older Betas get the zoomies (it's their instincts telling them to get outside and establish territory).

Most Beta vocals are humming and singing little tunes. Betas while linking love to hum so it reverberates in their partner's body.

During linking Betas also love to slow and sync their breathing and enter a meditative state with their linking partner.

Nothing quite like being the maul's alpha, watching the other maulmates just doing stuff. It feels good know what they're up to, and that I can help sometimes.

I love my maulmates, I take care of them, they take care of me.

My Alpha-ness as a moodboard

I find my Alpha side is very nurturing and paternal. Yes, I can get aggressive when I need to, but it's only to protect those I love.

All images found on pinterest. Let me know if you are the owner and would like them removed.

[misceursus]

Any other bear therians enjoy clacking their jaw when they're upset? I swear it's the only thing that calms me down sometimes.

[misceursus]

I have such bad cub fever right now, I'm imagining the little pitter patter of their paws, their playfighting, showing them everything I know.

I am deep in my rut and craving a family of my own. The idea of me and my maulmates raising cubs...... I am doomed.

[misceursus]

Growling at every little thing during rut because tiny things (especially strange noises) piss me off is so silly. My hindbrain is so worked up while another part of me is like "dude, chill". Being an Alpha is so weird.

That and the desire to get all my maulmates and just Keep. Them. In. The. Den.

Don't even get me started on the thoughts I have about my mate.

Flag made by me the term and pngs are not ~~~

[misceursus]

youve inspired me to make my own blog, we also have very similar identities except im a black bear omega

This makes me so happy to hear, anon! That's so cool that we're so similar!!! Once you've made it, you're more than welcome to message me. I'd really love to see it and interact with you.

I'm honestly still shocked that we're so similar, the fact that we are AND you found this blog. I am making so many happy bear noises.

[misceursus]

Absolutely in pre-rut, need to scent everything, need to bite down on my mate's neck, then press warm kisses onto his skin, need to protect so so bad. Making a den as I'm typing this, comfy yet neat.

Being an Alpha feels so good.

[misceursus]

Sometimes being a therian is being very aware of my human body and other times it's closing my eyes and imagining my big shaggy coat of fur shaking, ears twitching as the rain falls down. Chuffing softly with a low growl. The air smells of fresh rain and winter.

Learning to love my therianthropy.
