Continuing Spitballin’ Omegaverse
Yeah...am definitely contemplating writing one of these for DGM. Er... here’s some random head canon!
I started with thinking about prisons, of all things, and how that would work in an omegaverse world. Obviously the sexes have to be separated because otherwise there’d be rape and abuse and murder running rampant everywhere (can you imagine an omega in prison with multiple alpha guards? It’ll be chaos 24/7.) I assume beta prisons would be like ours, maybe with a few alpha as guards around - no omegas. Alpha prisons would have alphas everywhere BUT the prisoners have to be on some kind of medical control as part of their sentencing, because otherwise it’ll be ridiculously hard to subdue. I didn’t think too much on those because my fic would only deal with omega prisons, so here’s some details:
Omega prisons would have two layers. Inner part are all omega prison guards, maybe a handful of betas (like doctors, a profession more suited for betas in general). Everyone has to take suppressants - omegas throughout their entire sentencing (also birth control), personnel can take sick leave if possible, but most takes suppressants. Prisoners are allowed one heat per year and there’s a special heat room that’s specially designed for it. (It’s a prison, not a hotel, shit needs to be in control and rampant hormones is just too much of a variable.) There’s a transition part between the inner and outer parts, patrolled by betas. The outer part is all alpha guards. They’re there just in case prisoners try to make a break for it and overpower the omega guards. It’d be quite hard for omegas to break out with alphas around. But alpha guards are not allowed in the inner part under most circumstances (stuff like mass prison break excluded) to keep rape and abuse at bay. Alpha visitors to omega prisons (their mates, for example) have to be shot with a hormonal suppressant before they could enter the prison, period, just in case their scent makes the omega prisoners unruly or afraid.
My omegaverse will probably involve quite a bit of biomedical technology to keep everyone’s biology at bay. Quite a lot of people are on suppressants to keep a regular job schedule, and birth control is abundant and free and very, very effective. Mating is NOT for life. It can be, and most are, but should something happen (like early death, abuse, etc.) there are medical procedures that can reverse it (expensive and probably would need court orders or some such to be implemented, but still available). Society is pretty segregated HOWEVER it’s not completely impossible for an omega to be in a high-ranking position, just super rare. Women are still expected to have the child in the relationships as opposed to men, so a lot of women just don’t mate with men to keep an equal dynamic. Omegas of both sexes are expected to be the homey mother type while alphas of both sexes are expected to be the breadwinner type. Alphas are also expected to mate (or not) with lots of partners. An alpha that doesn’t bite more than a dozen people in his/her lifetime or have a giant litter of pups is considered weird and introverted. Omegas, on the other hand, are expected to mate to one alpha and one only. There are also people who just prefer not to mate, from all sexes, and they’re usually shunned as being creepy, like we would do with that weird neighbor who might be a serial killer, etc.
And that’s all for now. I might have a summary version of dynamics in a later post. You know, for someone who dislikes mpreg, rigid sex structures, heat (yes, I think it’s silly because in nature males don’t go in heat because they’re supposed to be ready to fuck all the time), animal characteristics (I think they can be cute, but there are so many fics in fandom that have this it’s cliché and way overdone), and all that, to attempt to write an A/B/O fic is a feat in itself.
Which is why I think this might be an interesting challenge specifically for someone like me.
(one guess as to who’s the omega in prison. come on, pretty obvious, there’s only like two omegas in this fic total and I talked about both of them lol)
