what is it called when an alpha is a misogynist, but toward omegas? is it omega-ist??

I have a set of words that I like using for the dynamics. These being: Eleusinian, Asterian, Arethenian, Themian and Aphrosian.

[Eleusinian]: Referring to Dynamics with the anatomical capacity of giving birth. Omegas (either male or female) and Beta females.

One who's prejudiced and biggoted towards this group is being "Eleusinistic".

[Asterian]: Referring to Dynamics with the anatomincal capacity of Impregnating another. Alphas (either male or female) and Beta males.

One who's prejudiced and biggoted towards this group is being "Asterianistic".

[Arethenian]: Deriving from the sibling gods of war, Ares and Arthemis, this refers to the ones the greeks believes to be their respective children. Alpha males for Ares and Alpha females for Arthemis.

One who's prejudiced and biggoted towards this group is being "Arethenistic".

[Themian]: Dereving from the goddess Themis, who was mostly seen as the Beta patron goddess. This terms refers to both male and female Betas.

One who's prejudiced and biggoted towards this group is being "Theministic".

[Aphrosian]: Deriving from the Goddess Aphrodite, believed to be the mother of all Omegas. This term refers to both male and female Omegas.

One who's prejudiced and biggoted towards this group is being "Aphrosinistic".

If you want some more insight into old posts I made with old greek stufff as well as some of these terms. Here's two posts:

Ancient Greek hdcns.

Hope my answer sufficied. Any further questions be free to ask.

some thoughts wrt the two established "romances" in severance so far (burt/irving and helly/mark) inspired by @figmentof who pointed out how irving had to find out mark and helly kissed from the corporate video in s2 e1 and how he must have felt seeing his co-workers' love affair like portrayed like that, and how it ties into the queer narrative at play here which uses workplace dynamics and policies as very clear analogues for real-life prejudice against queer couples. I mean, just look at this:

it's not just documented, but celebrated. used as propaganda for how the conditions on the severance floor have improved. proof that the severed workers are happy. and how even though he is unaware of the sociopolitical meaning of all this, lumon is very not-subtly telling him that what he had with burt is inherently lower and less valuable than this.

irving doesn't even know homophobia exists and yet he is still affected by it, it still seeps into every corner of the way his and burt's romance progresses. burt is positioned as an unacceptable love interest from the jump. irv is actively discouraged at every turn from pursuing it. their friendship is viewed with disgust and apprehension from their coworkers. burt working in a different department that's hated by MDR. dylan himself not being homophobic in the sense he opposes their relationship because they're both men but his attempts to keep them apart still has a parallel sort of prejudice behind it and still ultimately has the same effect as if it WERE driven by homophobia. irving is made to feel perverse for wanting contact with burt. he's told this is for his own good.

and then, just as they manage to overcome that immediate resistance from their peers and escape to a place where they can explore this blossoming romance on their own terms, burt retires. for all it matters to irv, he's dead. and then irving is given the option to live the rest of his life with grief that will never heal, or kill himself too, because there is no reality where they get to be together. that's just the way things are. of course they wouldn't get to be together. he was unreasonable and childish for ever hoping that could happen. this is just the way it goes for innies. he's told to get ahold of himself and not make a scene.

but the thing is, the standards are not the same for all. a heterosexual romance gets upheld as the shining example of success and fulfilment for the severed employees, whilst a homosexual romance is ridiculed and invalidated, and written off as something that was simply never meant to be. and even more importantly to irving, a heterosexual romance is APPROVED OF by lumon, and by extension, by kier. irv held back from allowing himself to even call his and burt's relationship a romance, because his god had told him it was wrong, he followed the handbook, thinking this was what kier wanted, and then finding out after suffering the worst heartbreak imaginable because of it, that this WASN'T EVEN TRUE. it's simply just that someone like HIM doesn't get to have something like this. his love is not the kind of love god wants. he does not approve of irv's love. cynical and manipulative though that approval may be (even within the context of the corporate video, the helly/mark romance is only being celebrated to further the narrative that lumon care for their workers, but the point still remains that it was THEIR romance specifically used to suit this end), when your entire life has been in pursuit of that approval, it must be devastating to learn it was never on the cards for you.

he and burt even used the fact kier met and fell in love with his wife in the same circumstances as them to justify this to each other - and they were RIGHT, god does approve of falling in love with your coworkers - this simply just doesn't apply to them specifically. and if irving needed any more proof that he no longer has a place at lumon, that he's better off not existing at all than existing with this pain that cannot be remedied, pain that won't even be acknowledged for what it is, a symptom of a sickness which plagues the entire severance system, pain that he is simply expected to choke down and get over - this is that proof.

and that's the POINT. they're TELLING us that this is unjust, and there's a double standard. they're using the ways the innies experience romance and the difference in lumon's reaction (lumon being the collective of all the management we've seen, lumon as a singular entity) to burt/irving vs helly/mark to comment on how queer people are not afforded the same level of respect or validation IN REAL LIFE, for their attachments, their love, their pain, their suffering. it is NOT just incidental that irving's romance is with a man. it would not WORK if his love interest was a woman. the POINT is that they are both men and how that puts them at a disadvantage, even if they aren't aware of the prejudices of the outside world, even if they don't TECHNICALLY apply on the severance floor, there are very clear analogues which still end up oppressing them in equivalent ways that they would be suffering if this were a normal workplace in the outside world.

it genuinely sickens me to my stomach that even in a world so divorced from reality and the sensibilities of regular society, a queer couple is still made to suffer and feel inferior in a way that perfectly mirrors their real-life counterparts. how they will never, EVER be allowed to exist in a world where their love could thrive freely and uninhibited - they never get to taste the joy our world has to offer people like them, but they are still somehow subjected to all the pain it has to offer them regardless. it's such horrifically devastating writing. it makes my skin crawl. I can't stop thinking about it

"Please dont mark me up!"

I have to, baby, someone else might come and bite you and claim you as their own. We wouldn't want to happen, do we? You don't want to be anybody else's little pet. You just wanna be all mine. I need everyone to see proof on your body that you're mine. Now, be still, or do you want this to hurt?

in light of the obvious eroticism of scars I do not think we discuss enough the eroticism of having been the one to piece someone back together. of looking at them and knowing that they will always bear the marks of your work, every time their heart beats and their lungs draw breath, bc YOU stitched them back together. you cheated fate and you crafted a miracle out of your own two hands and a pile of their viscera, and they’ll forever be the living proof of it. they are perfect, from their bones to their guts to their skin, and you made them this way; it feels like blasphemy, like getting away with something to be able to lay claim to their perfection like this. like I’m just saying.

Random rough groping in public to let them and everyone know who the little thing belongs to! Sometimes, you also have to grope them a little rougher to give them a visual hand shape reminder!

[girldriveroscar]

cumplay *nods nods nods* so like sometimes carlos finishes on oscar's back and asks him not to move so he can just like. commit the image to memory for a while. except oscar really needs to scratch his shoulder one time and then oh no a bit of jizz dribbles off his lower back and onto the sheets. and he's like embarassed 'cus somebody is gonna have to clean that up and he almost wants to take the hotel sheets off and do it himself. but also carlos's hands are so firm on his hips right then, and this is just way too intimate, and the situationship is getting situated and--

the enemies to situationship getting too comfy delicious trope to me mhm yum. nods Nods Nods something like. carcar facial w oscar complaining Loudly and Brusquely about getting cum in his eye an instead of throwing him a towel n disappearing for a shower like Usual. carlos pulls Oscar into his lap n wipes it off himself, taking care to soak his eyelashes n comb it out his hair, while oscar Blue screens to complete silence. like O. this is ... nice.... (suspicious)

I also remember when that deactivatecivilization blog told me "Wikipedia says that disease and plague started with the domestication of animals, checkmate" and I went looking for the source and it was a fanatical vegan tract that considered domestication, sorry, "domesacration" a moral evil and said that humans started to hunt only 19.000 years ago (WHAT) and that began violence, patriarchy and the oppression of women. The only mention of zoonosis on the cited page was in a throwaway phrase listing the many, many evils of having domesticated animals.

So you should be also be wary even if someone says "but it's sourced!"

Is Shea a jealous partner? Will they indicative mark/claim whats their? Especially if someone will flirt with MC? Maybe we even can expect to see such moment in a game?

I don't really see Shea as like, the typical jealous alpha-type love interest. They can be a little possessive, though. It would depend on the relationship you have with them.
