ive suddenly been getting a WHOLE lotta right wing ads, and it’s not super blatant conservative rhetoric but like. pro-nationalist, violent military-themed civilian wear, male fitness, etc.

who approved the incel campaign? ughhhh

so i have synesthesia, the way i see numbers is vivid, not abstract. it helps me memorize them among other things. single digits are easy: 0 clear, 1 white, 2 butter yellow, 3 bright pink, 4 green, 5 red, 6 blue, 7 electric yellow, 8 brown, 9 purple. when they are next to each other they blend and the order and value have an effect on the tones. it makes some really pretty combos (and some blech ones—i don’t like pi)

since some friends of mine asked, i’ve been making swatches to show how the clone designations translate from my head:

(Dogma looks like that because he’s my favorite so i did him first and hadn’t figured out a good technique yet. i rly like how he turned out anyway tho so im not fixing it)

more clones

been thinking about an omegaverse with segregated communities based on designation. this is just some random thoughts as i work out how it might function

separate governments based on a treaty prohibiting hunts. prior to this it was …bad. violators sterilized. are they near-human compatible species merging or humans diverging? 🤔 not sure yet

reproduction:

omegas bear omegas

alpha females bear alphas

beta females bear what the sire was, very fertile

beta males sire what the bearer is, so beta/beta results in beta

alphas may be assured their children will be alphas unless they mate an omega, and omegas may be assured their children will be omegas unless they mate an alpha.

(why alphas dont just have beta wives and not bother with omegas…social stigma? inheritance restrictions? idk) maybe discouraged coming from the betas rather than the alphas, seen as ‘easier/more normal’ to stick to beta/beta? parenting woes of A/O designated children?

omega males (high infant and maternal mortality) and alpha females (low sperm count) are rare due to health issues and usually function as omega sires and alpha bearers within their community because these roles are considered ‘more natural’ and less likely to result in the aforementioned health complications. usually not scientifically measured or diagnosed, but powerfully anecdotal.

society:

omega society matrilineal, semi-nomadic, underground dens, ecological balanced important to them vs. progress, forage and craft, insular

‘alpha’ society patrilineal, includes most betas, larger population, technologically advanced, alpha-nobility-led, betas predominantly farm and labor, proud to be hardworking and productive, the foundation of society.

trade for food/tech/art… what do the omegas have that is valuable to the alphabeta side? maybe they were the original inhabitants and hold the history and lore, maybe they live longer… 🤔🤔🤔

immigration to omega society open to beta males, incentivized by stipend (from whose budget? hmm) and simplicity of life, can also be recruited by established religious/monastic order of beta males who believe it’s their calling, but no beta children are born into omega society.

any alpha/omega pairings are expected and encouraged to be alpha male/omega female since the alpha females (even more rare than their counterparts and usually surgically modified at birth) and omega males are so valuable to their people.

children of these brokered unions may be alpha or omega and are usually raised predominantly with their same-designation parent and that side of the extended family, with occasional visits to or from the other side.

Alpha males may journey across omega land to attract an omega female, like a pilgrimage, camping, show strength and skill, care for the land and ability to provide. Omega rite to choose an alpha based on how he displays himself. over the campfire they make what agreements they would like about romance, marriage, heats, ruts. In the event of conception, she may go back with him or remain at her home, where he’ll be welcome.

scent differentiation between designations, tracking by scent is ok as long as it’s not hunting, regulated, hunting is legally defined in the treaty as violent or coercive intent etc. and is taken very seriously, seduction pheromones (either A or O) considered taboo but they’re innate so need to be suppressed (can be done deliberately by practice—used more by omegas, or chemically—used more by alphas)

soulmates? superstition. not quantifiable, but some people feel they can tell by scent who they are best compatible with

please feel free to tell me what you think works or doesn’t

Want me to write something? (yeah, me too) Drop into my ask box with:

a ship—cloneship generator if you want to use it. click that randomizer until you’re feeling it (if you want to send a non-clone/clone ship, sure, go for it, but i ofc reserve the right to not do it if it doesn’t float my boat)

HOME | Cloneship Generator

and a couple word prompts (again, click away until you get something fun!)

Generate random words, nouns, verbs, adjectives, letters, phrases, sentences or numbers to brainstorm and create new ideas at Random Word Ge

i’m going to (hopefully) use these as warmups to get back into the habit of writing 📝📝📝
