Okay i caved to the questions. welcome to ted's omegaverse except there's like no omegas in the verse. Pls don't kill me

Omegas Exist, but... the sportsworld is far too toxic for most to exist Normally, i mean. Male sports especially, but even the wnba had a streak at the start of their development where it was originally believed that only female alphas would just Barely be strong enough to commit to a sport ( a bad mix of misogyny and secondary hierarchy ) . Male-dominated sports have the similar feel in terms of outdated stances plaguing public opinion, but keep it simpler with ' only Alphas are strong enough for Sport.'

However, this has started to change.

Not in favor of the omega, no, don't be silly! Nothings ever in favor of Them.

It's not Exactly favor of The Beta either, but the betas do at least get to keep their name. You see, betas play fundamental roles in team sports especially. They may not be as valued (not in a star sense, but a 'i need a wheel that'll make this car move (team gain traction/fans) and a beta would be perfect' valuing kind of sense. You're just a worker, but hey! At least you CAN work, right? Unlike The Invaluables.) in independent sports like boxing, but good betas are Critical to a TEAM that needs a Championship -- that needs Roleplayers .

Team rulebook 5. Betas are the Best roleplayers. That's the best fame they'll ever seem to get, it seems.

Although some delusional fans and sometimes gms may try to construct a team of mainly alphas (either a lot of young alpha top picks or veteran alpha players hungry for a win ) for the raw power, intensity, and.. cool factor.. it usually falls apart pretty sadly. They need a mediator, someone who won't get greedy or frustrated with the fame or lack of it. Someone who's willing to pass, willing to come in and be the clog rather than the mechanic, someone who's a Beta whose only sense of belonging Is belonging.

Sports rulebook 6. Betas Stand Second.

Most betas have accepted this before entering a sport, ever since Scottie Pippen embarrassed himself for trying to flip the Beta narrative and failing laughably .

Betas can be bad. Bill Laimbeer will beat the breaks off anyone. They can also be good. Pippen would try to middleman Jordan's frustrations with his team, especially the rups (rookie 'pups', men playfully called pups because they're new to the sport). Shaq and Magic both have humorous charms that make them Feel like alphas.. but they needed more to get a ring. They needed alpha teammates, ultimately. no matter how big or bad or good a Beta may be, they are always Second. But they should never, never be considered first. That's an alpha's job. Orlando made that mistake drafting a beta to win them a ring, a beta that would eventually leave to ringchase with any alpha he could. Shaq's a bit shameless for a beta, but being shameless is maybe the only path to 'fame' (becoming a simple shtick to an easy-to-remember title, either being Sidekick, Dumb, Helpful, Funny, Enforcer, etc) for the life of a beta. Why? Because

Sports rulebook 1. Your Alpha Must Take Over.

Alphas can come in different shapes and sizes. Not all alphas are big and burly. They're not all hyper-confident or aggressive for no reason. But they Do have to come and take over a team. They DO HAVE TO feel possessive over their players, obsessive over their plays. Betas are there just to work, PICKED just to WORK, but alphas? Alphas are different. They Have to be the spark.

Michael Jordan was an alpha who presented very, very late. No one is exactly sure when he presented. Even Michael's story changes from before getting cut in highschool to after to college to the 'flu' game. But Everyone, at one point, thought he was a beta. ( His siblings laugh at this. )And then he wasn't. And then he won. And then he became a dictator .

But, again, there's a lot of alphas that haven't won. Charles Barkley, hilarious and prickly, perhaps too prickly at times, can be his own downfall from either sheer laziness or stubbornness. Some didnt always 'Win' in life like alpha fanboys or alpha egoists might try to persuade. Wilt was great, but personality-wise? .... other alphas like Kareem butted heads with him.. and even betas like Magic would then butt heads with Kareem! Allen Iverson played by his own self-indulgent rules and won through his fashionable impact, self-oriented liberation, and also lost by playing his own self-indulgent rules through trouble with money. Isiah Thomas defends his team and their troubles like a bull, oftentimes a hypocritical.. near-sighted bull. Larry Bird? Competitive. And fucking Rude.

Sports rulebook .....: Alphas Can Be Double-Edged To Either The Team, or Themselves

Alphas whose talent alone failed them by being either not enough, not determined, or entirely different to the subject become disgruntled sports 'analysts' who criticize betas or 'wannabe alphas' aka alphas whose behaviors don't seem 'alpha' enough (too docile). Others become known as busts. Others disappear. Others refuse to give up on their alpha birthright, scratching tooth and nail in the gleague, a disaster league of rups, failed alphas, struggling betas still trying to learn their place, and a few undercover omegas on suppressants. They can bounce around trying to take over team from team, or try to act more like a beta just to gain a secure job, only for their old trained instincts of Stardom to swoop in and make them seem stubborn and selfish (hog the ball during crucial moments). Many become coaches whose attachment to the game is almost parasitic as a purpose. Commentating is another option to fuel that parasocial fire.

You live as an alpha, you die as an alpha. It's a Sport.

That is, until Rodman happened.

Hes not an alpha, some thought he was, during his bulls era. But at the beginning, he was a beta. A gangly pistons player during the dirty work of defense. A beta who blended into whatever his team was, a bad boy, a nitty gritty, a winner, a loser -- whatever his team needed, he became. And then, his team needed him traded.

He started taking more, at first. Started becoming defiant, becoming aggravated. Paranoid at Popovich's overwhelmingly alpha abuse of power, of persistence, of Perception.

Isiah begged him to keep it easy, it's not safe to take so much, it's Untested. It's got side effects, he's seen them from players who wanted to get as far as rodman could but couldn't. They weren't strong like rodman. Another alpha giving him his unsolicited opinion. Bill told him to suck it up. Betas can be so bitter. Pop's yelling. Such a dusty smell, red sand that made your nose itch and not in the fun, just snorted ski slopes way. And now he's gotta deal with Pippen's wary, flipflop scent of calming then chilling hormones soothing then spiking the air as most betas do. And now, he's got Michael telling him to--

... Michael's pouring his pills down the toliet, both his heat suppressants .. and his Rut Inducers. He's skipped from telling and has gone straight to Doing .

One look from the ??? and Rodman realized.

Rodman realized he was tired of wanting to be wanted like a starting alpha but personal enough to be privately pressed like a working beta. Rodman realized a lot of things about himself and others that day. 1. He was tired of always crumbling to others' norms. 2. 'ROIDing' is an action that can be used primarily by athletes because they can afford it. 3. Other athletes besides himself have/can do it. 4. He's just the only one that's made it now known to the world that He is Dennis Rodman, He is an Omega, and He's used ROIDing to void his omega symptoms with suped up suppressants then Replicated Rut with raging inducers & created a Beautifully sensitive Beta, then, increasing both doses heavily, an abstract Alpha.

In short, yeah, he's used ROIDs. But he's stopping now. He's playing completely without the doses. Not too little, not too much, it's done. Zero. Isn't that great? Isn't that what sports always preach in the end? That it's You who wins or loses in the end. Not just your Talent, or your Drive, your Reach, it's You. You, crazy culmination You, who matters ultimately in Your world.

So why is everyone so horrified.

The sport changes after this. A few, just a few, omegas can show now, like, actually Show and not curtain themselves behind overloaded prescriptions. Apparently, even betas could ROID back then with just rut inducers to enhance alpha behavior and appear or Become alphas as long as they continue to doses. But most scrutiny lies in omegas ROIDing into betas, since it's a much easier dose to take in comparison to an omega -> alpha jump, which can have devastating side effects -- the most harmful being mental. Only those determined enough, Insane enough can commit themselves fully without cutting too abruptly and creating even more damage through their hesitancy. And even if the process is completed, the effects may be harsher than expected.

Betas start to become the new scrutinized spotlight, either torn by criticism of doing too much or too little, or skepticism on whether or not they're 'Real'. Alphas, in turn, get desperate to outshine the shiners, whether accomplishing that feat via negative or positive means. It's rumored some have even started turning themselves into Betas now, hard dosing rut suppressants when they're that desperate to try and tame the ego that torments them. Some say it's for the better, some respond brilliantly to the dose, it was made for them, it was Them. Old packs often rip these kind of thoughts to shreds, not caring for empathetic stances, just their black & white view of what was once written. New packs accept the dosing, but the worst of the new packs pick and choose which to, either Everyone Has To or only The Good Ones can. Old players get their legacies questioned because their secondary hierarchy is questioned. Was Magic Really a beta? Or was he a self-conscious, self-compensating omega who craved the lure of feeling needed? And then even went an extra step with the rut inducers to make him a Shiny beta, charismatic enough to peacock? Or was he just that Magic to be a really flashy beta? OR OR.. is magic all of that at once? Maybe, if he did do it, he needed to?

ROIDing is a necessary medicine in sport now, newly designated as necessary using overstimulation risk as a reason to protect too many players from imprisonment & eventual shut down of the sport since suppressants were part of every player ( keeps betas clear-headed and alphas consolable ). But it's still debated by any side a group may conjoin as. The threat of its illegalization is looming. Violence, fear, envy, hatred. Trust no one.

Fuck Everyone ?

oh, yeah, anyone can top or bottom here. That at least remains the same. Positions can just go against the grain in less secret now.. however, that doesn't mean they're all exactly Comfortable to, though .

But you know who's mighty comfy?

Dennis is doing just fine. Eccentric, quiet, grounded, true, omega, stubborn, beta, alpha, callous: Dennis.

240909 [Interview] Sportsworld Interview with Loossemble

English translation by gointosubbit:

*****

'The Members Are So Precious'... Loossemble: Five People Who Are Happy to Be on Stage Together Even Amidst the Difficulty and Bickering

Q. What was most difficult or required the most care as you prepared this album?

“We put a lot of care into the choreography. We focused on the ability to express choreography and gestures, as well as the things that we wanted to impart, and because the song is upbeat and addictive, we wanted to deliver our energy to the fans so we wanted this to have that much more energy. So we generally increased our choreo practice time by a lot, and practiced and put a lot of care into the stage presence and teamwork aspects as well.” (Hyunjin)

Q. The members participated in lyric-writing for this album as well. Apart from that, did you also voice opinions on the conceptual side?

“In the past two albums, a lot of our visions and colors were reflected. This time around, it was wholly Ryan Jhun producer-nim’s vision that went into it. We honestly needed that kind of challenge a bit, and we have faith in producer-nim, so we followed and trusted in what he said. I think what we participated in this time was more focused around lyric-writing and maintaining our own selves well.” (Hyeju)

Q. The unit songs are noticeable. The units are structured into “Confessions” (Hyunjin, Go Won, Yeojin) and “Cotton Candy” (Hyeju, Vivi, Yeojin). And Yeojin, in particular, was part of both.

“That’s also my question. Why did I get into two songs like that?” (Yeojin)

“I think it relates back to Loona. Back then Yeojin didn’t have a unit. So I think you can see this as a linkage between the previous lore and the current lore unique to Loossemble, happening through this promotion.” (Go Won)

“You could see Yeojin’s role as bridging the two units.” (Vivi)

Q. Do you have a goal for this promotion?

“I was joking with Ryan Jhun producer-nim and asked, ‘What are you buying us if we get a show win?’ And he promised to buy each member an expensive bag. We are going to work harder. (Laughs)” (Yeojin)

“Since we prepared hard for this, we’d like to get on even more diverse kinds of stages, even more often.” (Vivi)

Q. Soon it will be your one-year re-debut anniversary (September 15). Looking back, how has the past year been?

“On the one hand I think “I’ve lived busily”, and even more so that “I spent it fruitfully”. We debuted and had a comeback and went on tour in between, too. I worked really hard and can honestly say that I filled up the whole year with diligent work, so this year feels really precious to me.” (Yeojin)

Q. Does it feel very different from the first Loona anniversary?

“Very different. It has been a long while since then, and this past year we did even more activities than that year, so we were able to grow rapidly. And with fewer members, each of us have bigger roles, so it’s an environment where you can’t help but grow more quickly. I think this past year was one that allowed us to take more responsibility in all aspects and to grow.” (Hyeju)

Q. It feels like the leader Hyunjin, who played a key role in the re-formation of Loossemble, would have special feelings about this.

“I feel some pressure but it’s the good kind of pressure, so I’ve been living happily these days. And the members trust and follow me so well, so I am grateful to them, and we have such good vibes right now. So taking these vibes forward, I feel like we’re going to pull off this promotion quite well. And bring back good accomplishments. The vibes are so good this time around that I think we’ll bring results.” (Hyunjin)

Q. During the Loona days there was no leader for the overall team. What are some pros and cons of having a leader like you do now?

“I think there’s a lot. Like distributing the script lines? Also since she’s the leader, when she says “Assemble”, we assemble right away. She gets sad when we don’t listen to the leader well. When we don’t listen, it’s not like “Why won’t you listen to me,” but it feels like “Please listen to me” instead. (Laughs) So she’s kind of adorable.” (Yeojin)

“There’s pros and cons (to being leader). When we distribute the script lines, I get dibs on the comments that I want to say. I take short lines and give out a lot to the members. If I had to name a downside, the members sometimes make fun of me. (Laughs)” (Hyunjin)

“Honestly I make fun of her a lot. It’s so fun when I tease unnie. Because you have to tease the person who’s entertaining to watch, right? She has the funniest reactions.” (Yeojin)

“As Hyunjin’s become the leader, I’ve gotten to see new sides of her, and since we’ve been together for a long time, it feels really new even just to select one person as the leader like this as we start over. And since we’re a team, sometimes it’s necessary for someone to come up with a suggestion and talk it out, and Hyunjin has been doing that really well, so I think that makes the team work well.” (Vivi)

“I have a wholesome story about Hyunjin unnie recently. Hyeju unnie was briefly sick so she went home first, and the rest of us were sitting in the practice room, and Hyunjin unnie suddenly went, ‘There’s a way for us to synchronize our choreography a bit more,’ and she started teaching us fundamentals. She taught us a lot, like ‘This way you can dance a little better.’ I really felt her leader’s side at that moment.” (Yeojin)

Q. Loona had a lot of ups and downs as well, but it feels like the members must also have a special attachment for the current team of Loossemble.

“I think Loossemble to me is a new beginning. Because I got to do a lot in Loossemble that I never got to do in Loona, so to me Loossemble is a new beginning, a new challenge. It’s so new in a really positive way, and I’m so happy and content.” (Yeojin)

“We were in a situation where we could have never gotten back to the stage, never seen the fans again. As Loossemble I was able to get back on the stage, see the fans again after a short time, and achieve my dreams.” (Go Won)

“I’m so grateful for this group. As someone who loves the stage so much, I’m the happiest and have the most fun when I get on the stage with the members. As someone who values having fun the most, the happiness meter in my life is at its highest when I’m dancing with the members on stage. And Loossemble is what allowed me to do that. So that’s why I think I get really nervous when I perform every time. Because that’s how precious and important the performance is to me. So the members tell me all the time, ‘Why are you so nervous, why are you sweating so much?’ Every moment, the stage is so important. So I always want to thank the members, but I’m really shy so I can’t really say thanks. This is embarrassing but I want to take this occasion to thank them, and I want this album to do really well, and for us to be strong.” (Hyunjin)

“Debuting as Loossemble felt like one of the turning points in my life. I am a foreigner so I actually had a lot to think about during that time, but thanks to this good opportunity I was able to start over as Loossemble. Loossemble taught me a bit about myself as well and I loved that.” (Vivi)

Q. We heard that prior to re-debuting as Loossemble, Hyeju debated closing out the dream of being a singer. Have you thought about what it would have been like if you really quit at that time?

“Even if I were to go back, I would make the same decision. I would choose the challenge of being Loossemble and returning to the stage once more. Nothing would change even if I went back, and these current members are a collection of such different personalities and different tendencies that I’m sometimes really fascinated. Seeing us flow on without any big troubles, I think we’re looking out for each other a lot and doing pretty well. (Hyeju)

Q. You must hold special feelings for the fans as well. Do you feel anything has changed with the fans compared to the Loona activity days?

“I think I feel more emotional about the fans. After the whole incident during the Loona times, as I re-debuted as Loossemble, the fans said a lot along the lines of ‘I thought I’d never see you again.’ So I think we’ve grown more intimate with them.” (Yeojin)

Q. What do you think has changed about yourselves, the members?

“As we’ve gotten older and more experienced, a lot of things that were difficult and hard to understand have become comprehensible, because we experienced those things. And we’ve become more able to participate in lyric-writing, more able to express our ideas about albums, and grown as artists. As people, too, as we went through the hard times, the wounds have lost sting and we’ve learned how to get back up. How to get through difficult times, how to destress, we’re learning those remedies one by one.” (Hyeju)

Q. It feels like you and ARTMS, a group also originating from Loona, might inspire each other too. Do you keep in frequent contact?

“I contact Choerry unnie pretty frequently. Almost every day, I think. Unnie is on tour right now, you know. But she’s still good about texting back and we’re telling each other to come over to our homes. Recently ARTMS held a concert and I went to see them. They played Loona songs there and I danced in the stands, and the unnies also said ‘Yeojin let’s dance together’ from the stage so I really enjoyed that concert. I don’t think anything has changed between us. We’re like family, you could say.” (Yeojin)

“We understand so well about how each other was feeling as we were all starting over, so we feel a lot of camaraderie. And sometimes they inspire me a lot. Inevitably we are different groups now, so that gives us a nice kind of stimulation and it makes us want to show some new things or our improved selves.” (Hyeju)

Q. You’re all busy working in your respective arenas, but it feels like there must be a world where you all get back together someday.

“We are always open to it and the other members are always open too. It’s just that right now everyone is in the phase of starting over, so we’re focusing on that a bit more, and once we have each grown some more and the right timing has arrived, that’s when we’re wanting to meet the fans all together as one.” (Hyeju)

“I want to do that within a few years. And I’m curious, too. Once we have grown within each team and met again, how much cooler are we going to be by then.” (Yeojin)

Q. How do you want Loossemble to be remembered as a group?

“Honestly Loossemble is more unfamiliar to the general public than Loona, so I want this promotion to help reach the public with ‘There is such a group called Loossemble.’” (Yeojin)

Q. When the general public sees you, which feels better to you? Not recognizing Loona right away and realizing “Loossemble was from Loona?”, or recognizing the fact that Loona members are now promoting in these ways?

“Personally I want them to learn about Loossemble first. We are a team starting over, after all, so once they learn about our unique charms and begin to like Loossemble, honestly there is going to be way too much information about us. Once they get into us, there’s a lot of information and a lot to see, so I want them to first fall for Loossemble’s charms, and I want to make Loossemble become more known. And honestly Loona and Loossemble have different musical styles and group colors, so in my opinion our charms are different.” (Hyeju)

Q. When you have no schedules, do the members hang out together often?

“We have a lot of introverted members, so we spend a lot of time at home.” (Go Won)

“I have a dog, so I always spend time at home no matter what. Doing nothing and spending time with my dog. Because I just came home from working outside, so going outside again is too tiring.” (Yeojin)

“Honestly when we’re promoting, we have a lot of break times and long standby periods, so we have plenty of time to meet and chat then. So there isn’t really the need to do that even after work or on days off… (Laughs)” (Hyeju)

“Once in a while I do hang out with Go Won unnie. Once in a long while. But the routine goes like this. Suppose practice ended early, then it’s ‘Wanna eat? Wanna go to the cafe? Wanna play the claw machine?’” (Yeojin)

Q. The five of you have such great chemistry. Have you ever fought?

“I don’t know if I can say this. We had a huge fight. (Everyone laughs)” (Yeojin)

“Recently during choreo practice, I guess Hyunjin unnie and I were feeling some kind of conflict mentally. Some days you’re just in a bad mood, you know. We started talking and there was a bit of trouble, and the spark blew up kind of big, so we ended up taking some time to all gather around and have a talk.” (Hyeju)

“Suddenly I got pulled into it too and I felt hurt and cried at home.” (Yeojin)

“After we poured out so much of what was on our hearts, after taking that time, I think we became able to speak more easily. We fought that time and made up that same day. We don’t really hold grudges like that.” (Hyeju)

Q. When you rest, how do you find comfort and destress?

“This is our third album within a year, right. So we haven’t had very long breaks. So my way of resting is just staying home and doing nothing, and exercising helps me destress a lot too.” (Vivi)

“My stress levels go down when I wash my hair. I shower at home and lie down still. When you lift your legs, that gets the blood circulating, right. Then I feel the stress going away. That’s how I control it a bit.” (Hyunjin)

“Lately I’ve been building Nanoblocks. It requires a bit of creativity, and that actually allows me to have fun without thinking much. I just got into it.” (Go Won)

“I have a dog and she’s so cute. She makes my stress go away. When she runs around the home instead of me and makes a mess, I clean up after her going ‘Sheesh.’ I’m the mom. The little one influences me so much, and I wish everyone would have a dog and do well by them. I also raise a lizard. His name is Gaeko.” (Yeojin)

“I don’t have a ton of friends, so I honestly make plans like once a month if that? I like hanging out with my family, so I destress as I eat and chat with them. Since they are the people on my side who give me absolute support. They join in with me when I want to complain about somebody, and when I’m having a hard time they empathize with me and encourage me that I’m doing really well. I think hearing it from family gives me more strength than hearing it from anyone else.” (Hyeju)

Q. Lastly, anything you want to add?

“To be honest, recently I was going through a bad period mentally. It was so tough having to work on promotions when I’m going through this. And in the past, Hyeju unnie would have just said things curtly, but unnie was speaking to me softly, and I realized that made me feel a little better. I guess the members, Hyeju unnie, were really important to me. For example, even when we need to practice, Hyeju unnie doesn’t say much. But for this promotion, she would tell me, ‘Hey Yeojin, let’s go practice,’ and I would think, ‘This unnie is going through a lot too but she’s doing all this for me. I should work, too.’ Since it was mentally tough, I used to go home and cry. And when I got texted ‘Let’s gather at this time tomorrow’ I would reply ‘Yes’ and go back out. It’s gotten a lot better. Hyunjin unnie told me, ‘You are doing so well right now’, and Vivi unnie cries together with me. And I don’t know about Go Won unnie. Unnie already plays along with me and listens to me the best, as it is. So for this album, I wanted to tell Hyeju unnie how grateful I am. It was such a difficult period mentally, and Hyeju unnie was willing to be my rock.” (Yeojin)

genuinely like. holy shit. also yippeee movie about the sportsworld that uses the way it works and how the people within it live in actually really good and interesting ways...

[grilledkatniss]

We just worry

Listen, I'm beyond happy that Taylor is going out and having fun with her friends and going on dates with the male sportsworld American sweetheart (or just hanging out with Travis, god forbid single girls make friends with single boys with no ulterior motive). She deserves some rest and fun and drinking and partying and mingling, she's earned it 100 times over. I'm just worried ppl will start to roll their eyes again at her name being constantly dropped by yet another corporate mayonnaise brand, you know? It's not her fault the internet turns her every action and reaction and interaction into a fomo inducing meme (which for some reason her's are celebrated and other celebs' memes are just mean like the Selena Gomez one at this VMAs.) And today's internet culture is just capitalizing off ppls need to belong and be in on any joke and be a part of any funny movement. None of that is her fault. But despite her not putting any effort this time on being on every single platform and paper, I think we've seen this film before, and the ending sucked. Granted, this time it could be completely different and there's a plot twist right around the corner that'll change everything, but you can't blame us for being wary and anticipating the worst outcome. Don't get me wrong: we do trust her, we just don't trust the public. It's like that point in a book where everything is going well for the main characters and everyone is happy, and there are about a hundred pages left. The Schrodinger last couple of chapters. Idk man I do hope for the best, for her and her relationships and her happiness, but when it comes to the public's opinion as part of this historically effective and overused love-hate cycle by media coverage trend we've seen on so so many other instances apart from Taylor's own 2015/6 case, I've also learned to expect the worst.

blessed day in sportsworld so far we got titles for matteo nuno and arthur <3

[tanjavda]

Let’s Play Strangetown+

Introducing the families and how I’ve set them up at the start of my Strangetown+ uberhood.
