my big omegaverse pet peeve is heats/ruts go from 0 to 60 and people immediately know
where are the alphas who don't realize they're in rut until they're screaming in target because the TOWELS are WRONG and everyone keeps MOVING AROUND oh god I reek I already took 2 showers today
alphas who come into work one morning and suddenly the most important thing in the world is for people to know they're a caring likeable provider hey sandra why are you mad at me sandra you looked at me and sighed sandra what's wrong with my shirt this is the nicest shirt I own
an omega who knows his heat's coming up when he drinks some water and suddenly it tastes so WATERY, and laundry detergent nearly knocks him out, and holy shit that's way too much cologne who microwaved crabcakes and why can he smell it from across the floor
omegas who have a special dispensation for telework the week leading up to a heat because their brain has decided desk = nest and if you open a file cabinet to look up stats from last quarter you *will* get snarled at
everyone has tracker apps and it's a whole Thing whether you use one of the aggressively binary ones (alphas: neon colors, jagged shapes, tacky emoji vs omegas: pastels, soft curves, every app thinks you're trying to conceive) or a neutral one with options for both heat and rut
the same way some people try to work through a flu some people try to work through heats even though they're mainlining snack foods & wearing the heaviest, softest clothes they own & an alpha from accounting just walked through the door, went red, & filed for emergency rut leave
pour one out for the betas who don't get magic fuck leave and suddenly have to do 5 people's work with 3 employees, btw the second-floor bathroom is out of order, congrats to jose & our transfer from the dallas office on the beautiful mating bond they initiated during work hours
some omegas feel weary & small & need to be taken care of and some omegas want you to get the entire fuck away from them until they're good & ready and their nest is exactly how they like it
mix them up at your own peril
some alphas get snarly & grabbily authoritative and some get very "babe? babe?? babe sorry I'm calling you at work I was just wondering if you're cold there's this great deal on snuggies" and some, to the horror of omegas who just wanted a knot without feelings attached, are BOTH
imagine an alpha leaning in for the claiming bite, in love and it's perfect and thwy want to feel like this for the rest of their life, when suddenly the omega they agreed to help with a heat no-strings-attached goes "uhhhhhh"
and they're stuck together until the knot goes down
there's obviously blockers to function like a beta but I would like to go one better and think about the dual gender affirmation and personal crisis of going on omegafication HRT for months until you hit second puberty & suddenly your ass is leaking in the wegmans self-checkout
