miscesuidae roles & behaviors

inspired by this miscervus post by @ruttingdoe

sow-> voluntary identity not exclusive to females. experience estrous & while they are less aggressive, there are definitely more dominant sow.

boar-> voluntary identity not exclusive to males. year round mating cycle dependent on sow. typically more aggressive.

experiences/behaviors

sounder-> swine social unit typically comprised of family.

eruption-> development of tusks. experienced by both sows and boars, but especially by boar. used by boar in competitive displays, but generally used as protection. cutters->lower tusks. prominent in boar. whetters-> upper tusks. at the base of tusks lie scent glands, which are used for marking and communication.

estrous-> experienced by sow. inclinations to form bedding/nest. increased sensitivity and swollen genitalia. increased barking & squealing vocalizations.

rut-> experienced by boar, but dependent on sow. increased aggression & sexual displays.

sparring-> competitive display between boar, but also done between sounder members (including sow!) to figure out sounder hierarchy.

wallowing-> bonding time amongst sounder members. preferably in a body of water, but always in the shade. gossip and allogrooming are encouraged. during rut/estrous, wallowing fulfills the additional purposes of sexual signaling & privacy.

scent rubbing and glands-> as mentioned, glands exist near the base of tusks and are additionally present near the wrists above the dewclaw, eyes, and genitalia. a boar may choose to rub tusk and other glands on the flank, shoulder, or genital region of a sow. saliva and urination are also used as modes of communication for mating.

vocalizations-> squealing indicates excitement, screaming is different and indicates aggression or fear. grunting indicates pleasure, lower and longer grunts moreso. grunting is also done while feeding, or interacting with sounder members. growling is an aggressive vocalization. sow tend to be more vocal.

MISCERVUS

my own take on a misceverse based off of ELK behaviors and such!! dynamics, extra terms, hormonal cycles, all under the cut! caps warning, all /not mad

DYNAMICS

(not exclusively males) > BULLS - [similiar to alphas] (typically) leaders, loud in volume usually, usually drawn to a handful of cows at a time (not for mating purposes, its like 'the token straight friend in a queer friend group')

> STAGS - [similiar to betas] sensitive, calm, romantic, unobtrusive, mediators

(not exclusively females) > COWS (also called DOES) - [similar to omegas] nurturing, sweet, keep to themselves a lot

EXTRA INFO

☆ only bulls and stags can sire calves, regardless of primary sex

☆ SPIKING (referring to spikes, yearling bull elk) (vaguely derogatory towards cows, as it implies that cows are young and immature): similar to bitching - process of a bull becoming a doe, through whatever manner and for whatever reason

☆ TROPHYING (comes from the term 'trophy' for a bull elk that is 6-10 years old): basically kinging, opposite of spiking, process of a cow becoming a bull, through whatever manner and for whatever reason

☆ VELVETING (from when elk antlers velvet and fall off, before growing back): common symptom before a rut happens - bulls and anyone else that experiences rut get an urge to cut their hair and possibly other physical features, such as fashion ("i feel like velveting)

☆ IVORIES: alternative, traditional name for fangs

☆ CAPE: nape of the neck and the top of the shoulders, where dynamics are drawn to for scent/scentmarking

☆ CALVES: pups

☆ BUGLE/BUGLING: similar to growling in miscecanis, but miscervus bugles arent similar to proper elk, its a high pitched whine commonly heard during rut from bulls and others that experience it, to draw cows nearby. cows can also bugle, they are generally quieter and deeper-sounding

HORMONAL CYCYLES:

estrus often happens during late summer/early fall and rut during fall from september to october but theyre both possible at any time, typically triggered by others cycles and ones own personal arousal/stress levels

☆ ESTRUS (most often cows): generally lasts from 3 days to a week, restlessness, high levels of arousal, increased bugling, increased urination, smelling different, being drawn to spend more time around bulls and stags, increased slick production, increased attempts to scent others or to be scented/scentmarked

☆ RUT (most often bulls): generally lasts from 5-10 days, typically get more physically active (to show off prowess), irritation with individuals of the same dynamic or others experiencing rut, spending a lot of time around other dynamics, pretty similar to estrus but much more active

also doe and cow are interchangeable, female elk are called cows but i like the word doe more for aesthetics

ill be adding onto this when i think of stuff/find things ive already written by forgot. then eventually id like to make a Carrd for this to look nice and put-together. any questions or asks about clearing something up are welcome, id looove to talk about this and maybe find others that can align themselves with this if theyd like! also if theres anything that might help for visibility text-wise and such, please let me know, i will edit this!

i cant wait to hav an apartment or house with my Mate and hav our own together-but-seperate dedicated spaces for our den and nest, and for our space to smell like us and imagine the thump of our lil fawns' feet on the floor running around

[ruttingdoe]

i know its a typical stereotype from omegaverse fiction that Alphas are like emotionally isolated but like pack animal sorts..

but what about attention-seeking Alphas?..

clingy Alphas that feel like getting into fights with others to get attention, not like prowess or showing off. i dunno, dealing with brain stuff rn

[ruttingdoe]

cozied up in my den, cuddling my pillowpet to my chest imagining that its a pup, and burying my face in my mate's hoodie thinkin bout how if they were there with me, everything would be much nicer and a lil less sad

[ruttingdoe]

aaaaah Alphas needing deep pressure stimulation moreso than other dynamics!

honestly just self indulgent stuff because i personally need a good bit of deep pressure stimulation or i feel like ill 'float out of my body' but pyschologically or whatever, maybe Alphas need it as a calming thing for them because the brain associating it with someone keeping a pup on their chest for bonding?

maybe Omegas needing it too but the way the dynamics go about it is different?

Alphas typically go for clothing, like compression shirts, weighted or velcro vests

Omegas typically go for objects, like weighted blankets and stuffed animals

Betas typically dont feel the need for deep pressure stimulating stuff

[ruttingdoe]

m thinkin bout buying a good sea mist or leather cologne/perfume cuz i dont have one currently and wanna start smelling 'like myself'

[ruttingdoe]

What makes you feel the most "alpha"?

i bet he gets tired of me saying this but being taller than my mate gives me good Alpha feelings - very euphoric.

[ruttingdoe]

its so interesting to me being a therian/otherkin thing with near about a handful of different types or hearttypes that are all group-focused to some degree - elk herds, hyena clans, lion prides, the vague idea of mers with pods, angels

but me, my personality, i really sont seek out big groups, or necessarily want a big group. i like my small handful of people to care for, and primarily its just the one (my Mate) that i want much to do with besides my family. i have other friends but theyre not many and i dont see them often

but through the lenses of Alpha - i Do want a pack or herd or clan. not as a dog or hyena, but as Alpha. i guess the closest i get in that misce and theriotype overlap is as a Bull, because i feel euphoric imagining myself as the big strong Bull of a herd, my Mate and friends and family, to take care of and vocalize with

[ruttingdoe]

aaah was reading back through my Miscervus terms, saw velveting and something clicked

recently ive had the urge to cut my hair again even though ots just gotten back to growing out and it looks okay. ive also veen thinking bout getting another piercjng, probably my navel, and changing up my fashion style. thats all fitting of velveting TwT and im like a month out from my first rut. all this makes me feel very Bull right now and euphoric in my misce stuff

(maybe self fulfilling prophecy stuff, like subconscious but whatever)

[ruttingdoe]

woaghh not-deer, 'imagine if deer were predator' layout next?? maybe..

feels very Alpha for some reason, also just appealing to my deer and dog 'types

[ruttingdoe]

in non-After Dark news..

my mate helped rearrange my room and make up my den this weekend! got a curtain up by my bed, room all arrange to make a nice cut-off area, and they let me nap while putting my things back for me TvT

thank you, my dearrr, i appreciate all that you do for me <:3

[ruttingdoe]

power bottom Alpha things under the cut... :3

getting fucked by my mate the other night started with me face down but eventually ended up with us flipped over, and fucking myself on them, apparently hard enough for their hips to get bruised TwT very Alpha to just move and use their dick how i wanted and rub myself on them

free use service top Omegas, anyone?

[ruttingdoe]

aaaagh PLEASE i just want a herd where we all practice and show off our bugling together

'i bet im louder than you' 'nuhuh'

or someone talking themself up and when they finally bugle - all that comes out is a long quiet whine and everyone (including them) cracks the fuck up
