one of my favorite things to play around with, in omegaverse? changing what something "usually" means.
family = parents and biological children in a shared household?
not any more its not!
family = a group of friends who share a house together like they have for years, even after forming partnerships with others or having kids
family = a queer platonic couple, the kids they adopted (despite being able to procreate together if they wanted to), and the neighbors that are like siblings to them
family = three generations of parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who might as well be family, who rally around each other in good times and bad
family = two lifelong best friends who went from playing together as kids, to raising families, to growing old, while becoming the cornerstones of their neighborhood
family = one big old polycule spread across multiple households, and the assortment of kids who have called them aunties and uncles from day one
family = a happily single person, their pets, and the network of friends that they feel safe going to whenever problems are bigger than one person should carry
family = a couple, their newborns, the siblings who help out, and the grandparents who are first in line to babysit
family = a single parent, their kids, and a very robust support network
family = a group of people who care about each other but aren't compatible when it comes to sharing a home, being very supportive - just from a distance - with or without other elements
and the fun thing is, you can slot any type of person into these setups!
make the two best friends look like the default "boy meets girl" rom-com pairing but with zero sexual tension.
make the people who sound like the most stereotypical suburban family, incredibly queer visually.
want your packs to be multi-generational households by default? go for it!
want to explore belonging beyond the nuclear family or the quest to create one? sure thing!
it gets even more interesting based on the social positions of the six sexes.
(in my head: primary sex = alpha, beta, omega. secondary sex = male, female. to keep from having to list them all, its "six sexes" but in some settings there can be more or less)
for example: what if there's a society that separates alphas and omegas as a general practice? it's the task of all omegas to run the towns and villages and see to their defense; alphas, on reaching presentation, are trained to watch over the land and tend to the region as a whole. if the two groups tend to mix mostly with those they share a classification with, how do their family groups appear?
or what if the society is arranged less like our human ones, and more like specific animal groups? if your packs operate more like a bee hive, how does that change their view of family, future generations, and group membership?
basically: there are lots of types of families, even irl, so making packs unique is more fun to me than going "parents and their kids" despite that being the most accurate to actual wolf pack structures
(though, since that structure isn't super typical to how we show families in media, i do kinda want to explore an established one! just not super interested in the "couple meets and raises their first baby" part because there's already a lot of focus on that as what "happily ever after" looks like. i want to get into how the following generation finds meaning and sets goals without doing as their parents did)
#omegaverse worldbuilding#omegaverse headcanons#sfw omegaverse#alpha/beta/omega dynamics#a/o/b is primary sex i will die on that hill#until or unless i see a fic where omega males are treated like alpha males#because its clearly not the being a male part thats the most important in that case lol#my example social structure may or may not have been an attempt at remembering how viera society works without referencing anything#thinking about ov when i have free time: 🤦#thinking about ov when i should be getting ready for work: 🙋#the dictionary: brain rot is 2024 word of the year!#me: ah yes... (eyes my ever growing collection of ov related google docs) dont have to defije that for me#sfw ov brain rot (affectionate)#kinda want to make an ov setting where adoption is a first choice method in modern times?#maybe as some kinda divide between the act of parenting and the act of procreation?#is it possible to do without making the setting really dark though? hmmm tbd#my brain is either “thing i like but with omegaverse added!” or “what if omegaverse worked like this?” no in between
