In all honesty, I do not care for omegaverse stories. I do not knock on those who do, but something about many of the key aspects of them (or at least how I perceived them) turns me off. With that said, the key conflict posed in this story is too fucking juicy to withhold from this one, and I'll probably follow it for a while.

With the above said, if anyone may, I need a bit of an explainer on the omegaverse. I was under the impression that the setting was, like, meant to include futa as a default. That was what I gathered the alpha/beta distinctions were for before. Is the omega distinction a new thing? Is there a general purpose to the distinction, or rather is it like a trope that associates with it traits that I am to expect from a character described as an alpha/beta/ometa/etc? I'm assuming each story has nuances, but what is marking on a general level?

This is my understanding thus far:
Marking means biting at the scent gland behind the neck and a deposition of the biter’s hormones into this through their teeth. It constitutes a change in the perception of both partners where (usually) the omega becomes permanently* owned and submissive to the alpha, and the alpha permanently* is bound to the omega. Since ABO is patterned from traditional gender norms you could think of it as a sort of marriage or engagement between the protector and the nurturer. In the more equal and nuanced systems make the marking mutual, when the Omega marks the Alpha it means that the omega chooses to submit or chooses the alpha as their protector, which sort of adds a two way channel of trust and submission where the Alpha also has a requirement of keeping the omega happy/making them choose them v just having the omega around and just protecting them with or without their consent.

Marking can still happen between omegas and between alphas depending on the writer/universe. Between omegas it is usually seen as a defiance of society since they’re both seen as “lesser” and yet they choose to protect one another, and usually hold a very strong emotional undercurrent. Two alphas I see are usually seen as a subversion of strength and rivalry (and typically more masculine traits[I am biased I learned this trope from a gay friend into bl]), where one that is seen as “strong” wants to enter a relationship with someone who sees them as their rival, thus their relationship may feel a bit strained at times or they might have trouble finding a relationship in the first place (think of the Alpha x Alpha-Claudine x Maya ABO stories or Sal Jiang’s Black and White)

I do not think betas mark each other. They can mark or be marked and their partner may feel any of the above, but usually they are not able to feel so or to the same extent because they do not have the scent gland nor the thing with their teeth. So they would just be getting bit and biting like regular humans.

Possible ‘ABO’ from the bite mark?

I find Aihara’s backstory really interesting, given everything but not quite what she wants, almost coerced to this idea of resigned acceptance and lack of agency. This feeling of very many but not much.

Is there a term for this? It feels like a relatively common problem but I don’t remember seeing it anywhere else.

While it’s cliche to add a love triangle, I love how much the new antagonist is actually a “Green Tea Bitch.” Seeing her parallel to the actually sweet and pure Tongtong is so poetic given the premise and title of the story

@ZeroTheYuriLover its based off of Kiara and Ina's fashion designing stream where Nerissa and Shiori are the jusges. They both remarked that Kiara's designs for the other look like they would ruin each other's lives. Nerissa also remarked that she doesnt like pants (probably cos of a skin condition of hers she mentioned before)

I am on mobile and I cant search forums aaa. But this one's a classic I forgot the name of. Its a oneshot where life is essentially a harem anime for these girls who have to keep up their popularity or else they will be erased. Suddenly, instead of this harem stereotype character, a girl from a zombie action manga gets transported instead. This girl doesnt give a fuck about keeping popularity or wooing the guy and then she and thisnother girl hit it off and both exit the "story" together

Sounds like this:

Yes, thank you so much!

That said I'm looking for another story. I only remember specific scenes and it might be short of just grasping onto strings so I do understand if its nothing substantial :'). It was a love live doujin between I think Eli and Nozomi, the only thing I remembered clearly is nozomi hugging eli in the snow while smiling widely.

May or may not be the same doujin but there's also a love live doujin about either Nico or Nozomi frowning while they eat, and thats because "they eat to survive, not to enjoy" but in the end they learn to enjoy the moment with eli(?) together.

edit: finally found it! https://dynasty-scans.com/chapters/home_sweet_home_2#1

There's a series, not on DS, that takes place in a futuristic setting where humans can add augmentations to their body. A girl meets another girl, who can't use those augmentations due to a medical condition.

Damn, I know this webtoon. She has blue hair right?

Always Human on webtoon

Lookinh for a manga/oneshot where there's this girl who streams with a goat head costume giving advice to people. She then ends up with a schoolmate I think.

Lol! I love Yuri. I can not say that enough. Unfortunately, I can't/haven't shared that with anyone I know. If it's yuri, I will like it unless the plot is just disturbing or terrible and I can't do yaoi. I have read some but overall it's not my cup of tea and I will never completely understand how yaoi got so big.

I think it's mostly because of straight women that consume and make it. There's a fair amount of fetishization is present but there are also those who do try to do respectful interpretations. While for wlw there seems to be a demand in the straight male audience but I don't think a lot of them produce content, so it leaves mostly fellow wlws (and gay people are statistically slightly less than straight peeps so).

With this most mlm content predominantly consumed because "hot men yeehaw" like how some straight men only see wlw as threesome material and do not really support or consume homoerotic media of tge same sex as them. (That said there are also "fake allies" that try to gatekeep everything according to twitter or whatever and actual allies that just have a lean on one of them so I don't want to discredit them)

I had a discussion on this online with someone online and that pretty much sums up our observations.
