#and im like H A H A ha... shhhHHhHhhH

[felidfannibal]

This was originally an attempt to sort out the pros/cons of a/b/o in my mind but it derailed into me rambling about world building and gender so i scrapped the top half .... lmfao WOOPS

*insert brief complaints about the associations of omega with femininity and “instinct” being an excuse for everything* 

Along those lines, any over simplification of any “omegan” desire. like going from a to b directly rarely makes sense to me. Having a character be like “im an omega and therefore i want to be pregnant right now” its like... okay.. thats a big leap??? Maybe have them contemplate how it would feel for their belly to be distended and be intrigued by it, but repulsed by the idea of kids or something. Or wondering about the idea of having a kid to take care of and bond with but being uncomfortable with the idea of being marked??? I just can’t accept a 1 to 1 omega=all stereotypes every time thing. 

Alphas being like “oh ur mine now and now you must clean my kitchen because thats what omegas instinctively love to do” ??????????????????????????? see the above. How can cleaning a kitchen be an instinct? “Yes I have an instinct to unload a dishwasher, passed down since the beginnings of humanity.....” like??? fucking no lmfao? I can see you being able to explain an tendency to tidy or organize spaces as relating to instinct or general need to influence their spaces, but that wouldnt be something you could pin to “omegas belong in the kitchen” it would likely manifest in society more as “omegas are often controlling of their environments” it could result in things like “dont touch an omegas kitchen/bedroom/house” but it wouldnt result in CLEANING for the sake of cleaning. Heck you could pin that on alphas too, and say its a need to mark the area as theirs, to claim it as something they have control over. Maybe its a trait shared by both but the archtypes the society has created for the genders results in different stereotypes. Maybe you are warned to never take something from an alphas desk, because they tend to be territorial. Never place an item on an omegas desk because its seen as an intimidation tactic- always hand it to them or they’ll get snappy. Like. I just. I want more WORLD BUILDING from a/b/o and not just a grotesque exaggeration of the archaic male/female binary in our own world. 

Like guys. You have an INNATE THIRD GENDER TO PLAY WITH. do you know how COOL THAT IS???? the beta caste is usually so fucking BORING. everyones like oh and betas are basically just Lame Humans with no Fuck or Die instinct its fine ignore them theyre just worker bees. WHY????? |Like fuck do you know why genders develop in societies??? It actually doesnt directly have anything to do about reproductive ability??? its about SOCIETAL ROLES. You gotta build that shit up from the GROUND. What did that society look like in its INFANCY??? Were they hunters and gatherers or more agrarian? if they were hunters and gatherers what roles needed to be filled to maintain that? Who were the better hunters, what skills did they need to possess? Who were the gatherers? Considered both of these require mobility and distance- how did the young, sick, and old manage? Was there a role filled there? Did this “core” move to follow the hunters and gathers, at what pace, did they make temporary communities, how long did they generally last before they had to move? Did they overhunt the area and move often or stay as long as they could? I ask this because these are the things that build CULTURE and culture is sustained. Culture is what informs the stereotypes that exist later. If you have a society build on a nomadic system that follows the most plentiful hunting grounds, the hunters are going to be venerated. This means whatever gender is associated with hunting will feel that echo into the future. They could be considered leaders, independent, providers, for long after hunting has stopped. Gatherers will fill a similar role, as gathering is like a more endurance based hunting. They’re likely considered very reliable, stable, and very smart (lots of knowledge to be had in knowing what is edible and how to sustain plant growth while still getting yield and such) And I want to caution against these automatically being labelled hunter=alpha, gatherer=omega, pack = beta.... these can be the basis for secondary genders even. or maybe specific combinations there of. maybe only alpha females were hunters. maybe omega males were exclusively scouts who followed the prey to find the next location. maybe all females were inclined to be gatherers, a/b/o status inconsequential. Like if you can figure out what traits are tied to what gender it can be SO MUCH RICHER as to WHY omegas have these “instinctual” (tho probably not) urges, or why society sees a caste a certain way. 

I mean heck its a lot more thinking to do and im not sayin anyone HAS to do this but I just think there is SO MUCH potential in the fact you now have 3 more gender/sex’s to think about. ON TOP of the binary sex spectrum of humans and diverse gender possibilities there. Hell even those can be dealt with in more exciting ways. Does the m/f spec determine genitals or does the a/b/o? what hormones are associated with each? is one set purely behavioral and the other biological? like what if you ditch m/f completely and only have a/b/o, but within that biological category you have a different set of genders. Think of your culture and it’s values. if again its the nomadic one, maybe your genders are based around a religious model of the societal roles. maybe you have a god of Hearth and a god of Bounty, or maybe its based on the environment, maybe they live in forests close to bodies of water originally and they have genders based on gods of those. Or maybe they are a mountain people originally. find some latin or germanic or whatever language you are comfortable with unless you want to build a language too lmfao-  to associate with those main concepts and then build an archtype or two for gender. 

WOW OKAY IM SORRY THIS GOT REALLY COMPLICATED AND LONG I JUST HAVE A LOT OF EMOTIONS ABOUT GENDER AND I JUST FOR ONCE WOULD LOVE SOMEONE TO SEE ABO FOR THE GENDER BUILDING OPPORTUNITY IT IS QQ
