POSEIDON

“I begin to sing about Poseidon, the great god, mover of the earth and fruitless sea, god of the deep who is also lord of Helicon and wide Aegae. A two-fold office the gods allotted you, O Shaker of the Earth, to be a tamer of horses and a saviour of ships!”  

(-Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G. Evelyn white)

POSEIDON(puh-SAI-din) is the God of the seas, earthquakes, droughts, and horses. Pulled along in his seashell chariot by half-horse, half-fish creatures called Hippocampi, he holds his sacred trident high, bringing a tumultuous storm behind him. Standing beside him is his sea nymph wife, Amphitrite, who is the eldest of fifty nereid daughters of Nereus; the “old man of the sea.” 

Amongst the waters are the god’s faithful followers. The half-fish, half-man creature at bottom right is Triton, herald son of Poseidon, who uses a conch shell to calm the waves and announce the God’s arrival. In the middle is a Nereid, a female sea nymph, typically portrayed as a maiden riding a dolphin. Bottom left is Palaimon, sea god and protector of sailors, sometimes depicted as a boy on a dolphin. 

The god of the sea is known for his savage retributions. One fascinating episode involves Poseidon and Athena entering a competition to become the patron god of Athens. Upon the Acropolis, Poseidon produces a salt water spring for the Athenians, while Athena wins by creating the first olive tree. The sea god, in his anger, sends a flood to punish the mortals. In the odyssey, after Odysseus blinds Poseidon’s son, the giant cyclops Polyphemus, the god causes havoc and disaster for the hero and his crew as they attempt to sail home. Poseidon sends Cetusthe sea serpent to punish QueenCassiopa for her hubris in comparing her daughter Andromedato the nereids. And, he sends a bull from the sea to terrorize Theseus’ son Hippolytus’ chariot.

Misce stuffs

Heya! This is a kin blog if you didn't come from the original intro (which is here) but I've decided to put my Misce stuff here too since i need something to put this out here. (reminder that I am a minor- do NOT ask anything nsfw about this or any heat/rut)

---------

Status(?)/Identity- TransAega (alpha/omega mix)

Scent- Lemon, Mint

Vocals - Yips, trills, chirps, purrs, growls, barks, chuffs, meows (I meow at my cats- its the most 'realistic' vocal i can do)

I'm a nest maker, I'm not very good at it but I'm trying and learning

I do not have a mate- please don't court me without being friends first or without permission.

I am not in a pack

-------------

Flags (both are from Omegai)-

Nest maker:

Gay Aega (I'm a Bambi gay if you're wondering):

[winreyplace]

I love it when my alpha wolf submits to me. When he bares his throat and lets me scent, lick, and nip at him making him shiver all over. When he makes a nice nest for me all soft and comfy. When he trusts me to take care of him and make him feel good.

I love it when my aega bunny mate gets a dominate streak in her. When she tilts my chin up to expose my neck allowing her to nuzzle in deep and lick at my mating bite until I'm panting and breathless. When she asks me to make her a nest to make him feel safe and I can pack her into all the blankets and pillows I can find until he finally sighs with contentment. When she tells me to present and let him have his way with me.

Honestly I don’t know what my scent is I know I want a campfire scent but I don’t know my actual scent

[radioactive-yote]

How the omegaverse works in my source! (from an omega Marc-Andre Fleury factive) (most of this is gonna be about omegas because that's what I remember) (there's a lot)

General 'verse stuff

You've got you're alphas, betas, and omegas, along with bi- and inter-dynamic people (Connor McDavid and Connor Bedard are aegas and Kris Letang is an aeta)

Omegas have one heat every 6 months as well as a nesting period (also twice a year)

Nesting periods are like heats but more focused on building stronger pack bonds and a healthier pack dynamic (rather than creating pups like heats)

For some omegas their nesting periods are just before their heats but they can be any time

Stress and flash heats are a thing. Stress heats last for about as long as a regular one but flash heats only last for about a day

Pack bonds are a thing and mating bonds are like pack bonds but stronger

Bonding and mating are two different things

Mating is typical omegaverse stuff, biting scent glands and all that jazz

When someone is mated their scent will take on elements of their mate's

A bonded pair is sort of in-between just two people in a pack and a mated pair- like they don't carry elements of each other's scent and no scent gland bites have been exchanged, but they have a stronger bond than others in the pack

Strongest to weakest bonds: mating bond -> bonded pair -> pack bond -> no bond

Bite collars! They're a thing!

Scruffing (grabbing/biting someone by the back of their neck and making them go limp) is a practice typically used by parents on their pups but it also works on fully presented omegas

Alpha/Omega voice

NHL rules with dynamics

Pretty much every goalie is an omega and almost every skater is an alpha or a beta

There are exceptions to this rule, of course, Jeremy Swayman (alpha goalie) and Jack Hughes (Omega skater), for instance

Omegas can't be captains

Teams are packs

Capitan is pack alpha and the starting goalie is the pack omega (with the exception of most den mothers)

A den mother is an older, more experienced omega who is also backup goalie, den mothers are usually pack omegas

The NHL will split bonded and mated pairs in trades

It's sort of a trend for partners to mate each other young and be just devastated when one gets traded *cough* Drysdale and Zegras *cough*

Scents I remember

Myself: wildflowers (pretty self explanatory)

Sid: sandelwood and ocean

Tanger: old books and rainwater

Geno: the concept of old soviet architecture

Brock Faber: whiskey and green apples

Ovie: cigarettes and gasoline

Erik Karlsson: I don't quite remember what it was but I know he smelled bad to me

There's probably more so I'll update this post when I remember more

[winreyplace]

Lav:

What is the main difference between miscecanis and omegaverse?

Omegaverse is a fiction trope and universe and miscelife is a lifestyle and identity for real people! (Note: miscelife can be written into stories, but it won't be written the same as omegaverse is because it would instead be a mundane/regular life au with humans identifying with miscelife)

How do I figure out if I’m miscecanis? (Or where do I start?)

Anyone can be a part of miscelife if you relate to or feel drawn to the lifestyle either via reading omegaverse fics and wishing life was a little bit like that or stumbling into it through alterhuman experiences or whatever else!

How do you know what dynamic you are?

First of all, even though Alpha, Omega, and Beta are the most common, there are many other designations out there too! I'm personally Aegafluid! To figure out what designation you are, I'd start exploring what instincts/experiences feel like you and what is the reasoning behind them. There are NO rules, no miscelife police, so whatever you feel is what is true for you, you don't need to fit into a box!. Example: Do you like soft things and nesting? Why? If it's because you like the safety, comfort, and burrowing, you could be an Omega. If it's because you like creating spaces for your friends/partners to nestle into or like to imagine making a really good nest for your mate/pack, you could be an Atypical Alpha. Or you could be an Aega like me!

Why do people identify as miscecanis?

Well, I identify with misce for a number of reasons: • I munbonded with my werewolf munbonds, Li and Theo and developed pack and mate instincts from being with them! • I enjoy omegaverse stories and find them both comforting and hot. • I'm into primal kink both in a nonsexual and sexual way. • I'm a bunny alterhuman and a lot of bunny behaviors include things like scentmarking, nesting, and finding your bonded pair! • I'm autistic and nonverbal communication and atypical ways of interacting with the people I love come very naturally to me. • I'm hypersexual from a history of trauma and the omega heats/alpha ruts make a lot of sense to me and makes my trauma response feel less distressing to me when it's reframed in a biological need and instinct. • Did I mention the nesting and scentmarking haha? Basically, any reason can be a valid reason to like the misce lifestyle!

If every verse is different how do I figure out my own?

I mean, I've always been a bunny and I have werewolf mates, so a mix of miscelapin and miscecanis makes the most sense to me! Finding out what animals, entities, or concepts you relate or feel drawn to may help you narrow it down, but in the end, making it up as you go, whether just engaging with plain human miscelife, or making an amalgmation from a lot of different others is fine too. Again, NO rules!

How do people know what scent they are?

I don't even know yet myself. Maybe what kind of personalities they have or what kind of ones they like? I'm bubbly, cheerful, practical, and cutesy, so I imagine myself having something like vanilla cupcake. Not as sweet as candy and still warm and comforting.

What’s the difference between miscecanis and roleplaying/LARPing?

Misce is a lifestyle, it might appear to have some roleplaying elements to it especially when interacting with others or maybe when you're first starting and getting comfortable with it, but the main difference is gonna be in what feels natural and intrinsic to you and there will be less/no putting on or off of "a costume or character", more just interruptions of your lifestyle from consensus reality.

Is miscecanis sexual/kink related?

No! Heck, even omegaverse isn't solely porn and I'm tired of people making that misconception. There will be common elements of miscelife that may not be accessible until someone is an adult, but like both miscelife & omegaverse have pups and juveniles in their universe's lore, so no, not a sexual thing. Conversely, for many people it can tie into their sexual or kink activities entirely or fluidly and that's okay too! (it is a bit like that for me, plus kink can also be its own lifestyle too)

Do I have to understand omegaverse to be miscecanis?

I would think you would need to know either the base elements of omegaverse lore, or have some familiarity with actual or mythologized kinds of pack dynamics for various animals, particularly wolves since that is the most common one. In any case, picking and choosing from what meta there is to learn about omegaverse will help build your miscelife, but there's other sources to learn from too!

hello miscemunity! i have some questions for you all. as i am working on a misceverse carrd/info site!

,,Mul pole vist eales niivõrd tormilist aastat olnud,” tõdesin üks päev ja lõhkusin autos vaikuse. Piidlesin taha, kus oma kõige mugavamas elemendis norises Charlie ning mu turvaisik juhiistmelt saatis mulle julgustava pilgu. Kui keegi oleks mulle poolteist aastat tagasi öelnud, et 2021. aasta saab olema minu jaoks see murdepunkt, kus ma kõik elu kammitsad kus kurat saadan ja ohjad enda kätesse haaran, oleks ma oma tavapärast silmade pööritamist teinud ja agaralt töömerre tagasi hüpanud. Olen vist 17-aastaseat saati vaguralt teinud seda, mida mult on oodatud ja mis elukeskkond minusugusele naisterahvale normiks on seadnud: lõpeta gümnaasium, turbota ülikoolist läbi, samal ajal õpi, siis rabele eng ogaraks, et erialane töö saada, vahepeal võta sada laenu, et jõuaksid osta maja ning vahepeal vorbi paar mõnglijõnglast. Ma olen lapsest saati aru saanud, et that’s not me. Ma ei tea, mis see on, mis mind alati neist tavapärastest raamidest lahti murda on tahtnud panna. Aga noh, mis ma ikka häält tõstan, kui absoluutselt kõik inimesed mu ümber vaguralt samal teel käivad. Endised kaaslased on kõik ühel meelel: kui sa 31aastaselt isa/ema ei ole ning hingevõlgadega maja Kakumäel ei oma,  end samal ajal vapralt 40ndate südamerabanduse suunas ei rassi, oled luuser.

Ma taipasin mõned nädalad tagasi Saaremaal jalgu vees kõigutades, kuhu punkti ma jõudnud olen ning mis saab edasi. Mulle hakkab nüüd alles kohale jõudma, et ma elan. Et ma päriselt ELAN.

Umbes kuu aega tagasi, jaanipäeva paiku käis lõplikult ära krõps, mis lükkas mu hellalt, end kindlalt servale: hüppad? Või jääd igavesti mõtlema, mis seal all on. Ja nii saatsingi ma värisevate kätega tööandjatele lahkumisavalduse. Kõik. Üle poole aasta kestnud mentaalne terror ja iseenda aeglane tapmine saab lõpu. Tol hetkel arvasin endiselt, et see pole õige. Kuidas viskan ma maha 6-aasta pikkuse töökogemuse lihtsalt selleks, et mul on eluisu otsas? Nüüd kindlasti mõtled, et ma liialdan. Oh ei. Oli päevi, kus koost hakkas lagunema mu romantiline suhe, peresuhe, sõbrasuhted ja töösuhted. Ja neil päevadel lülitasin ma hääletuks oma telefoni, panin mängima oma läbi aegadae kõige lemmikumad melanhoolsemad lood, istusin tundide kaupa üksi oma salapaikades või sõitsin autoga ning tunnistan esimest korda: lootsin, et midagi juhtub ja mul ei ole vaja enam siin ilmas elada, ma olen väsinud ja ma ei pea oma abitusega teistele koormaks olema. Ma tunnistasin seda korra ka teraapias, et olen autoroolis nö ära külmunud ja lasknud jalal gaasil raskeks vajuda, hoolimata kiirusest ja sellest, millal järgnev kurv on. Nii on ju kõige lihtsam.

Ja tegingi ära. See on MINU elu, minu rada ja minu otsus. I ain’t going anywhere ja kui ka lähen, siis naerulsui ja täiel rinnal elatud eluga.

Ma olen taaskord paks, saamatu, laisk, kohmakas, hajameelne ning lohakas. Igaveste silmalauvarjude, sütikpommina käituva närvikava ja katkiste küüntega närakas. Ja kõik selleks, et kogu enda elu, hing ja tahe kinkida tööle, mis mulle enam midagi tagasi ei anna.

Just need mõtted äratasid mu üles. Kes kurat endaga niimoodi räägib???

Paar päeva tagasi taipasin, et see oli üks väheseid õigeid otsuseid mu elus. Käisin jooksmas. Läksin jooksma mõttega, et teen sellise pisikese 20minutise 3-4km pikkuse jooksu. Mul oli aega. Mul polnud kuskile kiiret. Ainus kohustus ootas kodus, et nokitseda vaikselt ühe uue projekti koduka kallal, ent selle taga ei kihvatanud passiivagressiivse irvega juhatajat. Ja mu 20minutisest jooksust sai 45minutiline imeliselt progressiivne ja edukas sörk. Ma nautisin igat minutit, sest ma olin hetkes kohal. Mul polnud kuskile kiiret. Ma ei muretsenud tuleviku ega mineviku üle. Ma lihtsalt olin. Ja hingasin.

Ma olen vist selle aasta jooksul nutnud rohkem kui varasematel aastatel kokku. Oma 9to5 korterikuubiku elustiiliga lükkasin endast alati eemale kõik, mis vähegi mugavustsoonist väljatulekut nõudsid. Näiteks muutusin ma vastikult kinniseks ja eemalolevaks inimeseks, kui eksil tekkis mõte hakata oma elu mingis suunas muutma. Tõsi, tema suund hakkas mulle täiesti vastu: polnud mul vähimatki kavatsust hakata suure laenukoormaga kolima majja ja seejärel kiiresti lapsi tegema hakata, sest et ,,Martinil ja ta naisel juba sündis teine laps ja ta on ainult kaks aastat minust vanem.” Iga kord kui ebameeldvused kippusid kerkima, lülitasin ma end välja ja tõmbusin oma võltsmulli. Ma ei lasknud emotsioonidel, kaootilistel hetkedel end mõjutada ja kulgesin enda ette sillutatud rajal, silmaklapid peas. Ma teadsin kogu aeg, et tahan midagi muud. Kui lähenemas oli lahkheli pereliikme, töökaaslase, sõbra või kaaslasega, ennetasin ma selle juba eos ja keerasin selja.

Ja kui need silmaklapid lõpuks võetud said, võeti ära ka kõik muu. Roosad prillid ja emotsioonifiltrid. Päris elu oli valla, ent mitte halvas mõttes. Päris elu pakkus kõike, kui Sul on vaid julgust, et selle järele küünitada. Aga selleks tuleb hakata leppima kõikide plusside ja miinustega, mis kaasa tuleb. Haara kinni, domineeri, vastuta, aga ära kulge. Võta end kokku, võta end kätte, märka, tee, õpi ja koge. Kui mitte nüüd, siis millal veel?

See pool aastat on loopinud mu eluteele niivõrd palju takistusi ja võimalusi ning enamusest olen ma kindlalt kinni haaranud või neist õppinud.

Mainisin oma blogis varem, et veebruar ja märts olid kuud, kust välja tulek oli väga raske. Just see aasta esimene pool võttis mu käest kinni, ulatas mulle reaalse ootamatuse ning laskis mul kõik ära lahendada, oma järeldused teha ja oma elu muutma hakata. Nimelt jäin ma rasedaks. Naisena, kes pole mitte kunagi emaks saada tahtnud põhjustel, mis on hetkel lahti kirjutamiseks liiga sügavad ja nõuavad pikemat postitust, olin ma täielikus šokis. Rasedus edasi ei kulgenud minust sõltumtatutel asjaoludel ning olin sunnitud katkestama. Kogu protsess käivitas ahela, mis mu täie jõuga kuristikuservani lükkasid. Mul polnud päevagi aega, et leinata, järeldusi teha või mõelda. Töö ei maga, töö ootab. Isegi oma kahel põrgulikul raseduse katkestamise päeval tegin pooleldi piineldes tööd, sest tekkinud  oli  olukord, kus olin asendamatu.

Mul oli tegelikult eneselõhkujalikult hea tunne, et mind  on vaja,  minust sõltub kõik ja küll minu ninast veri väljas töötamine end ära tasub. Tunnelivaates ei saanud ma aru, et olematu taastumise ja väljaelamata kurbusega oli minust saanud maniakaalne, närvihaige enesekeskne zombie, kes elas oma töö nimel. Kõik minu vabad hetked, meie väljasõidud imelistesse paikadesse, kõik ööd möödusid tööle mõeldes. Ma ei pannud enam tähele, kuidas läheb mu emal,  mu perel, mu kallimal... Ja selle juures on kurb, et ma ei pannud ka ise tähele, kuidas mind enam päris maailmas olemas ei ole.

Kõik enesesse suletud emotsioonid lendasid pauguga välja, kui väiksem kivi kodaratesse lendas. Ma nutsin, hüsteeritsesin, karjusin. Polnud päevi, kus ma ei ärganud, silmade all mustad laigud.

,,Kuidas sa hakkama saad?” kõlas peamine küsimus, kui oma madalseisus väriseval häälel pihtisin, et ma tahan töölt ära tulla ja ma ei taha enam natuke aega mitte kellegi jaoks oma elu hinnaga head teha. Kõik saavad hakkama. If there is a will, there is a way.

25. juuli seisuga olen ma töötu. Ja õnnelik. Ma olen enda eluolu kenasti kindlustanud nii, et nälga ma ei jää ning plaan on paigas. Prioriteet number üks on end sellest mustast ennast ja teisi hävitavast vaimsest august välja kangutada.

Mul  on hea meel, et ma olen võitu saanud pea et lõplikult oma söömishäirest, kuid ma ei ole väga uhke selle üle, et põen endiselt maa põhja oma keha, mis on viimase suve ja anoreksiamadalseisust alates kosunud kergelt 8 kg võrra. See tähendab, et on siiski  päevi, kus ma varjuks hea meelega oma  lohvakate riiete varju ja ootan mustade mõtete möödumist. On päevi, kus ma keeldun randa minemast, sest ,,külm on’’. Tegelikult meenub mulle mu kunagine six-pack ja puusakondid, kui nappide bikiinidega rannas ringi silkasin, nüüd on sellest saanud kurvikas ja pigem pehmem vaatepilt. Kuigi ma olen saavutanud sellise kuldse tsooni, kus ma harva järgin kaloreid ja söön vastavalt vajadusele siis kui tahan, mida ma tahan ning kaal on jäänud kangekaelselt ühe numbri peale püsima, mis on omalt jaolt ka positiivne, sest juurde ei ole ma võtnud juba kuid, on mul endiselt päevi, kus ma ei kannata enda kehas olemist. Ent kui võrrelda olukorda möödunud aastatega, olen ma viimaks sellest august väljas.

Mul ei ole enam musti laike silmade all. Ma magan sügavalt, ilma katkendlike ülesehmumistega, mul on LÕPUKS aega ja motivatsiooni, et teha süüa ja katsetada retsepte, mis on ammu tolmu jäänud koguma. Ma võtan päevast päeva ette oma unustustehõlma jäänud hobisid, nagu näiteks lohesurf, lugemine ja kirjutamine.

Ma olen lõpuks ometi aru saanud, et mu kõrval on inimesed, keda ma  tohutult armastan ja keda ma olen viimastel aastatel ikka väga halvasti kohelnud. Teate küll seda taasarmumise tunnet? Korrutage see mitmekordselt, sest ma olen taasarmunud oma kaaslasse, koera, perekonda, sõpradesse ja elusse.

Ma ei vaata isegi enam tagasi oma selle aasta sajale eesmärgile, mille ka siia postitasin. Elu on lihtsalt täiesti uuest puust hoopis uute väljakutsetega. Kui üldse, siis siit saab alguse minu täiesti uus ja värske elupeatükk.

Lav: I am miscelapin (bunny type), but being a naturalized/adopted werewolf I also identify with miscecanis a bit too, especially since two of my munbonds, Li and Theo, are miscecanis and are both my mates/my pack and my fellow alpha and omega respectively.

Mel: I'm a misceaosi (fae-type) omega. My munbond husband Liam is my alpha, and together we have a little clan of other munbonds who enjoy taking care of me. /)w(\

Eliot: Lav is really encouraging me to embrace an aega identity, like she has herself, and there is definitely a lot of parts of it that I identify with, but I don't feel strongly pulled towards any particular sub-type.

Quentin: Ah, I do feel strongly connected with omega male tropes and I'm a fox therian. So miscevulpin for me? I need to explore it a bit more, but definitely omega at the very least.

Adam: I'm a basic bitch human beta, lol. I like being the chill one who balances everything else out.

Pope: I'm, uh, still figuring it out, but I'm definitely something.

Liam: I'm a misceaosi alpha. Melly's my mate. I'd do anything to make her happy.

POSEIDON

“I begin to sing about Poseidon, the great god, mover of the earth and fruitless sea, god of the deep who is also lord of Helicon and wide Aegae. A two-fold office the gods allotted you, O Shaker of the Earth, to be a tamer of horses and a saviour of ships!”  

(-Homeric Hymn, translated by H.G. Evelyn white)

POSEIDON(puh-SAI-din) is the God of the seas, earthquakes, droughts, and horses. Pulled along in his seashell chariot by half-horse, half-fish creatures called Hippocampi, he holds his sacred trident high, bringing a tumultuous storm behind him. Standing beside him is his sea nymph wife, Amphitrite, who is the eldest of fifty nereid daughters of Nereus; the “old man of the sea.” 

Amongst the waters are the god’s faithful followers. The half-fish, half-man creature at bottom right is Triton, herald son of Poseidon, who uses a conch shell to calm the waves and announce the God’s arrival. In the middle is a Nereid, a female sea nymph, typically portrayed as a maiden riding a dolphin. Bottom left is Palaimon, sea god and protector of sailors, sometimes depicted as a boy on a dolphin. 

The god of the sea is known for his savage retributions. One fascinating episode involves Poseidon and Athena entering a competition to become the patron god of Athens. Upon the Acropolis, Poseidon produces a salt water spring for the Athenians, while Athena wins by creating the first olive tree. The sea god, in his anger, sends a flood to punish the mortals. In the odyssey, after Odysseus blinds Poseidon’s son, the giant cyclops Polyphemus, the god causes havoc and disaster for the hero and his crew as they attempt to sail home. Poseidon sends Cetusthe sea serpent to punish QueenCassiopa for her hubris in comparing her daughter Andromedato the nereids. And, he sends a bull from the sea to terrorize Theseus’ son Hippolytus’ chariot.

I love being a nurturing aega bunny and using my fur to make a soft, comfy nest for all my pack members/mates to sleep in and wrapping it around them like blankets to keep them warm and safe.
