sleepy nest

my gender is gay man omega. i don’t know why i’m like this either, okay. call me basil, im 21. adults only blog, minors please leave.

[omega-gender]

call me Basil (it’s my online name).

I’m miscecanis/misceanimalis omega, 21yo.

I am 90% sure I am somewhere on the arospectrum. But also gay. complicated. I am also asexual (not repulsed but also no desire).

I like to be a soft homely person. I like to bake. I enjoy sweet foods and doing crafts and puzzles. I like vanilla scents and baking scents. I like plushies. My biggest special interest is build a bear. I love art and graduated art college. You can steal my heart away with soup.

Nesting for Omegas

•A Nest is a space an Omega keeps for their heats especially but also for a calming, comfortable space all their own

•No one is to enter that space without express permission from the Omega in question-permission is needed every time you enter unless you’re the Omegas Alpha and you know you’re wanted there-permission will still be needed for an Alpha if the Omega is upset with them

•When an Omega builds a nest they zone out and focus on their task, it is nearly impossible to get their attention and if you do you’ll wish you hadn’t, Omegas don’t take kindly to being distracted while building their nest {Disrupt at your own Risk}

•Do Not wear your shoes into an Omegas nest!

•Young Omegas will always have a nest of their own but when with friends or family outside their home, like at a sleep over, they will often make a nest for them and their friends to sleep in. Alphas and Betas are taught not to intrude on a nest that’s not their Omegas but in this case it’s a community nest, though the Omega will still be particular about how it’s built, often changing little things about how they buid their own nest so it’s not too similar, not wanting people to know what their nest looks like

•Many Betas and Alphas try to build nests when they’re children, wanting the comfort, especially once they’ve experienced a friends nest or been into their parents if they have an Omega parent, though it’s a behavior that doesn’t stick around long very often-only the occasional Beta will continue this practice and it will be different than that of an Omegas

(——However when an Alpha has been put on suppressants too young (usually before presenting) they will often display Omega-like behaviors and one of those is nesting. This action becomes just as if not more important to the Alpha as they grow-especially depending on their situation)

•An Omega will usually build their nest in a small space with surrounding walls, like a nook. Many young Omegas will build their nests in their closet when they’re new to it and instinctually try to hide it from people

•Many Omegas hang curtains around their nests to make them feel safer and less exposed, another reason younger Omegas nest in their closets so often. It makes them feel less vulnerable

•Typical nesting materials include

Comforters. Pillows. Body pillows. Sheets. Fleece throws. Stuffed animals. Mates clothes, or clothes of an Alpha they like that they’ve stolen to make their nest smell like them. -Young Omegas will quite often steal shirts from their Alpha fathers to put in their nest as in their youth it has only ever been a safe and wonderful/comforting smell that often helps them relax and sleep (to the small Omega ‘Alpha Scent’ just smells like Daddy and Daddy is safe-this wears off around puberty and sometimes even earlier) Many use faux fur as part of their nest, the feel of animal fur being instinctually comforting to an Omega as it was one of the only things Omegas had to use hundreds of years ago

•Candles will typically be placed around a nest or incense holders as well as lights, fairy lights often being things Omegas like hanging over their nests as they’re not overly bright and blinding, they offer a dim light that’s just enough without being too much, just enough to be comforting so Christmas lights are often perfect

•Nearly all Omegas will have a cache of snacks. Some have a mini fridge near by with things in it but most will have a box hidden in a corner of their nest containing water bottles/Powerade/gatorade since their heats cause intense thirst, it will also contain snacks. Mostly things that are filling and replace their energy during heats such as Trail mix, jerky, gold fish crackers, peanut butter crackers, granola bars, peanuts, pretzels, but they will also have other treats that they enjoy most for when they need them like fruit snacks, cookies, favorite candy bars, chips, pop corn, Rice Krispie treats

•Every single nest is different, because every single Omega is different. Some are extremely neat, some are hectic and messy, some are all matching and beautiful, some are mismatched colors and complex, made on a mattress, layered on a hundred pillows. No 2 nests are the same but they are all comfortable and perfect to each individual Omega

•A quick way to an Omegas heart is a compliment on their nest, they all work very hard to make it perfect and are more self conscious about it than you would expect since it is so personal to them

•If you are lucky enough to be allowed into an Omegas nest count your lucky stars, it is an honor and a privilege and you should never treat it as anything less

Suppose EVERY Greek letter wanted its own ludicrous fanfic biology category

Because if you just said alpha and omega, fine, you're naming categories after first and last letters. Alpha and beta, fine. Alpha, beta, and gamma, you've got three categories. But alpha, beta, and then jumping all the way to omega -- now you've raised some questions about all the other letters.

Consider, a possible alpha/beta/gamma/delta/epsilon/zeta/eta/theta/iota/kappa/lambda/mu/nu/xi/omicron/pi/rho/sigma/tau/upsilon/phi/chi/psi/omega-verse:

alpha — as usually defined.

beta — as usually defined.

gamma — physiologically similar to betas, but pheromone chameleons; can smell like anything depending on what their subconscious thinks is the most useful.

delta — can transition between effectively-alpha and effectively-omega based on pheromone exposure, but it's mostly involuntary, it takes about six months to finish, and it's about as dangerous as a beta pregnancy.

epsilon — strictly infertile; 'supposed' to bond with mated pairs (often but not always ones they're related to) to help with kids; NOT always asexual, and they do have sex organs, just no gametes.

zeta — physiologically similar to alphas, but their instincts are 'set' on submission, not dominance.

eta — physiologically similar to omegas, but their instincts are 'set' on dominance, not submission.

theta — physiologically similar to betas, but their pheromones put everyone else on reproductive standby. Tend to be dominant in an implacable way, rather than an aggressive one.

iota — can transition between effectively-epsilon and effectively-beta.

kappa — what the hell, lays eggs.

lambda — sex organs internal when not in use; can either carry offspring or fertilize.

mu — sex organs internal when not in use; can carry but not fertilize.

nu— sex organs internal when not in use; can fertilize but not carry.

xi — physiologically similar to alphas with identical sex organs, but pheromonally and behaviorally very similar to betas. That way they can sneak around behind a dominant alphas back.

omicron — superficially physiologically similar to omegas, but: generally reproduce parthenogenetically, so mostly clones of themselves and sometimes mutants of other dynamics; non-omicron parents will sometimes throw out an omicron, but it's rare; almost indistinguishable from omegas without modern science.

pi — superficially physiologically similar to omegas. Unlike omicrons they CAN reproduce with others, and they aren't parthenogenetic, but they can self-fertilize.

rho — ummmmmmmm like betas but just make every situation tenser???

sigma — fully functional alpha and omega sexual organs.

tau — superficially physiologically similar to betas, but with universally attractive pheromones; technically infertile, but through a mechanism still not understood, anyone who has had ANY kind of sex with a tau has a vastly increased chance of tau offspring. (It goes from almost zero to maybe about 0.5% after a single tau sexual encounter and increases with additional encounters until leveling off at about 10%.)

upsilon — look like an epsilon, smell like an epsilon, but NOT infertile.

phi — produces eggs, but has no functional uterus; instead, after acquisition of sperm from someone, hopefully-fertilized eggs are deposited in someone else's uterus — phis are pheromonally drawn to chis, but that's not the only possibility. Omegas instinctively don't want to tolerate their presence unless the phi submits.

chi — has a functional uterus, but no eggs. However, the developing embryo IS subject to a sort of retroviral bath to append fragments of the carrier's DNA. Chis are pheromonally drawn to phis, but if they get an embryo some other way that works too. There's some superficial similarity to omegas, but they smell very different.

psi — physiologically similar to omegas with identical sex organs, but pheromonally and behaviorally very similar to betas.

omega — as usually defined.

Do with this what you will.

Misceverse Starter’s Guide PT. 1!!

A lot of people have asked for like a “how to start” or “basics of misceverse” post. That’s a little more difficult as it’s different for everyone but I am going to try!

Dynamics

Dynamics are the “types” alpha, beta, omega etc etc. There are A LOT of subtypes that I'm not 100% sure about so I won't cover those in this post! Alpha - "The external protectors. Alphas handle exterior elements the pack may face such as (but not limited to) outside threats, physical protection, and pack territory. Alphas used to be the main breadwinners of the pack, but as times have shifted, so has this responsibility, and it is now more equally shared among different dynamics. Stereotyped as aggressive and violent." - @/jar-of-omegaverse

- My alpha has described it as dominant. He says it's very rooted in wanting to care and protect his pack. Typically associated with very dominant personalities or naturally protective types. Beta - "The collaborative protectors. Betas can assist in internal and external problems but also manage relations with other packs, delegating pack responsibilities, and pack resources. Betas have traits of alphas and omegas as well as their own characteristics, and because of this, usually pack responsibilities vary incredibly from beta to beta. Stereotyped as dull and useless." - @/jar-of-omegaverse

- I don't personally know a true beta, my alpha is trans alpha from beta but I'm not sure he can describe it. I see it as being kind of the logical one lmao. They are typically the one that tells their alpha // omega that they're being a little crazy from what I've heard

Omega - "The internal protectors. Omegas take care of the inner problems of the pack such as (but not limited to) emotional/instinctual issues, infighting, reproduction, and monitoring pack health and mating cycles. They also make major decisions in the pups' education. Stereotyped as weak and emotional." - @/jar-of-omegaverse

-This is me! TO ME being an omega is being a caretaker not in the sense of being protective (think being aggressive to intruders) but more taking care of sick pack members or being the "Pack Mom" I've heard a lot of people consider the omega(s) of a pack to be the heart of the pack.

Sub-types are typically a mix between two dynamics or a completely new title. Those require more research so I won't cover them in the starters guide but feel free to send me an ask about it!

"How to find your scent"

This is MY BREAD AND BUTTER ARF ARF!! Okay! So we are gonna talking about how to figure out your scent AND and routines to help you smell like your desired scent ALL DAY LONG!!! How to find your scent;

This one is easy ml. Here are a few things to help (I also do "Scent diagnosis" in my asks so PLZ feel free I LOVE TO DO IT!)

Make a list of scents you are naturally drawn to. For example I am drawn to gourmand (sweet bakery type) scents. Vanilla, Caramel, Strawberry, etc. etc. SO I would list all of those scents in like a google doc, just something you can edit easily :PP

Consider your dynamic and how the scent feels for you. Does smelling like vanilla and honey make you feel like an alpha? OKAY!! perfect!! The list above is NOT a rule or anything! If smelling like blood makes you feel happy with your omega identity then AMAZING!! There is no strict rules!! Cross off anything in your list that doesn't make you feel like your dynamic or makes you feel dysphoric.

Look over the list one more time and look for the scents you REALLY PREFER For me it was Vanilla, Caramel, and Strawberries. Though my scent changes with the season those are my base scents that NEVER CHANGE!! Again I can help in my asks!

Presenting your scent;

OKAY!!! THIS IS MY SHIT RAGGHH!!

you will need these "ingredients"

Antibacterial bar soap (can be scented but unscented is fine :33)

Scented soap in your scent (Mine is dove Vanilla & shea butter :PP)

Exfoliation scrub in your scent (I use a homemade sugar scrub in vanilla scent so... :PP I can drop the recipe later)

If you shave, a scented shave cream in your scent is AWESOME but not 100% needed lols (Mine is EOS Vanilla, love it TO DEATH!!)

Deodorant in your scent or unscented. (Mine is dove Vanilla & Cocoa Butter deodorant)

A lotion in your scent (Mine is EOS Vanilla Cashmere or, totally dependent on mood // season, Sol de Janeiro 71 body lotion)

Body Oil, I recommend unscented baby oil but if you have a preference go for it!! (I use a mix of a vanilla body oil from an etsy shop, unscented baby oil, or Palmer's cocoa butter body oil. Kinda depends on my mood)

Vaseline (Scent doesn't matter but I use the cocoa butter formula... it's sooo good)

Perfume // Cologne in your scent (duh... Mine is Fresh Cream and Warm Cashmere by Philosophy... it's so GOOOODDDD)

Body Spray in your scent (I use Sol de Janeiro 71)

Step one! Wash your hair first, you don't want the oils and dirt running down ur clean skin!!

Go in with the bar soap, I use an African net sponge but a loofa or wash cloth is fine! This is the first was that actually gets you clean! :PP

Scented body wash next! It can be bath and body works shower gel or dove body wash! Doesn't matter, it's just depositing the scent onto ur skin

EXFOLIATE!! This gets allll of the dead skin off! and leaves you feeling like a dolphin LMAO. Some people do this before washing their body or in between the bar soap and the body wash, just depends on what you feel best doing!

This would be where you shave, so if you do shave, go for it!

Now you can get out of the shower or continue your concert!! But once you do get out IMMEADIATLY dry off any parts that crease (ex. between the toes, pits, any place that is known as "stinky" or creases! this helps prevent moisture build up) Put on your deodorant, Then LATHER YOURSELF IN YOUR LOTION. HEAD. TO. TOE. This adds moisture to your skin and helps keep you moisturized.

Now it's oil time!! (ik this part can be a sensory nightmare so feel free to skip on bad days or all together :33) Oil will lock in the moisture which will help the scent stick to your skin!

Now you can get dressed lols. Now it's time for Vaseline! Put it on your pulse points (Wrists, inner elbow, below the ear, the sides of your neck, behind your knee, ankles. Basically anywhere the skin is thin! Refer to the picture below if your lost!)

PERFUME TIME!!!! Put it anywhere you put your Vaseline. DO NOT RUB IT IN. I WILL GET YOU!! Rubbing it ruins the notes! Also don't spray and walk through it... that's a waste :PP)

Body spray! This goes basically anywhere the perfume isn't tbh. It's best used over your clothes and sprayed on your hair brush to distribute the scent into ur hair. (I just use a hair perfume for that tho) This supports your base scent or adds other elements to your scent! (My main scent notes are vanilla, woody, musky, powdery, balsamic, sweet, coconut, and amber while my body spray is, caramel, vanilla, nutty, salty, chocolate, and powdery. They are similar but both have their own unique scents that add to one another! Creating a totally unique blend that's even more unique on my skin!)

That's it for scents :PPP!!

This is the end of the first post!! call it a PT. 1!!

I need to do a little more searching for definitions and such for the future post! Stick around for that!!

A/B/O and Misce behavior: Romping

What is romping? Romping is a common nonsexual play behavior exhibited by most people in the ‘verse (and by many Misce folks as well!). It is most prevalent in young people, but the behavior doesn’t stop until the person is simply too old to romp anymore. Romping is silly, fun playtime, where two or more members of the same pack engage in energetic activity, such as running together, wrestling, jumping around, and even swimming together if the participating pack members can swim.

Romping behavior starts as a very young child, somewhere between crawling and full walking. Litter mates will roll around together, nipping at each other and rubbing their faces and necks together. As pups get older, romping evolves into running, wrestling, jumping around and on each other, and making friendly and playful vocalizations. This behavior subsides as the child grows into a teenager, but comes back stronger once again as they get older and become full fledged pack members. The reason for this is quite unknown, but it’s possible that teens may still be in their “awkward” stage where they’re trying to find their place in the world and the pack. They may feel embarrassment, which may lead them to subconsciously suppress romping behaviors. This will only last from about the first cycle, between 11-13, to about 17 or 18 years of age.

Romping is a strictly nonsexual behavior. It is often done between lovers or mates, but it is not a precursor to sex. It is also happens between close friends, family members, and other pack mates. It is a unique scenting behavior. Instead of rubbing on each other (called bunting), pack members will activate their scents by vigorous activity and interact playfully with their pack to mix their scents together.

As pack members grow too old to romp, younger members of the pack will still scent with them, usually after vigorous romping with other members.

Romping as a sexual behavior is called “frolicking”. It involves more sexual behaviors, such as rutting, petting, grinding, and biting around the neck areas, as well as licking and bunting around the face, neck, and chest area. Usually, this behavior only happens between bonded mates. Otherwise, it is considered sexual misconduct.

For those unable to romp, such as the disabled or elderly, they still often participate as mentioned above. Other members of the pack will romp, then immediately go and scent the unable so they can participate in the playful activity. The unable will also often make vocalizations to be included in the romp.

The vocalizations performed during romping and frolicking are varied and individual between dynamics and people. Most commonly, they are playful growls, yipping, and making a playful “awr!” sound to goad the other members into playing along. This may be the first type of vocalization young puppies do besides crying.

Frolicking vocalizations will differ from romp vocalizations. During frolics, mates will often growl, chirp, yip, and make a blowing noise called “chuffing” to get the other’s attention. Chuffing is not an inherently sexual vocalization, but it is often present during frolics and mating.

All dynamics take part in both romps and frolics. Parents need not be concerned if one or two members of a litter do not romp as soon as the others; romping development happens randomly to different members of a litter. If your pup does not start to romp before they begin to walk, it is not entirely unusual. Just give them time and even encourage romping and playing by getting down with the pups and beginning to romp gently with them yourself.

Romping will usually end in a preening session, to really spread the scents around between all pack members. Fixing hair, straightening clothes, and brushing off are all normal and socially expected behaviors post-romp.

I think this guy might actually be a sort of bird

[objectivelypink]

Cawww, the want for a flock grows everyday. I blame the fact I am a bird therian when I’m usually pretty content being alone. Interesting to think about really. I’m just a pretty caramel crow wanting pretty coins and flowers to make my nest pretty for potential besties.

All you avians out there, may your wings be super clean and pretty. Preening your wings with the upmost delicacy and care🩷

i see everyone talk about scruffing, purring, nesting, scenting, all the things ! but i never see anyone talk about lovingly holding in your mouth. cmere and let me gently bite your arm for a second because i love you <3

self indulgent "born as x" misce flags !

note : original term & flag design was coined by gengernoway on tumblr here (link) . the psd template we used was made by daybreakthing on tumblr

tagging : @radiomogai for archiving, and @catboy-autism for the awesome flag ids <33

born as alpha, born as beta, & born as omega flags. these were made with the misce community in mind.

these are bax (link) labels, meant to replace how "AGAB" has been misused & to not further disrespect intersex experiences. These do not need to align with your medical papers.

born as alpha may be shortened to baal born as beta may be shortened to bata born as omega may be shortened to baom

[ID 1: An 8-striped flag. From top to bottom, the colors are crimson, pale easter green, light orange, dark magenta, light orange, and crimson. The 2nd and 7th stripes are very thin and scalloped outward. The 3rd and 6th stripes are scalloped outwards as well. ID End]

[ID 2: An 8-striped flag. From top to bottom, the colors are deep sea blue, sky blue, dark teal, deep purple, deep magenta, crimson, sky blue, wine red. The 2nd and 7th stripes are very thin and scalloped outward. The 3rd and 6th stripes are scalloped outwards as well. ID End]

I want an alpha that will dramatically complain when I’m practically wagging my nonexistent tail to go play in a summer storm. I want an alpha that will sigh and open the door anyways, watching as I run out into the yard and flop onto the ground, staring at the sky as the rain soaks through me. I want an alpha that will maybe even let me play in mud. I want an alpha that will say “woah, hold on.” When I come back in, and cover me in towels in the doorway while I laugh about it, dripping on the hallway floor. I want an alpha that will snuggle with me after I’m clean and dry and dramatically complaining I’m cold, under a blanket that smells just like them, watching a movie.

I want an alpha.
