Hey there 👋

We all know that omegas nest. Duh. And they are like really good at it. But consider how important it would be for an alpha to present their den to the partner they are courting. The specifics can vary depending on age so let’s work through from pre-presented alphas to adults.

Pre-presentation Alphas:

Their big thing is collections and collecting things to make their space inviting. Of course there is going to be soft things because an alpha, though not presented yet, will want to be comfortable. They will have an obvious place that is reserved for nesting but like birds they will collect all sorts of miscellaneous objects for décor. For the younger ones this would look like pockets stuffed with rocks, sticks, flowers, shiny objects, etc. They don’t really understand what exactly they are going to do with said objects but there is an instinctual need to have them. Yes even that crumbled up whatever that was probably a food wrapper at some point. These little alphas will not be deterred from creating a den.

Newly Presented Alphas (approx. 1-3 years post presentation):

Here’s where things can get really interesting. These alphas are slowly moving from an anything and everything den aesthetic to something more cohesive. Though it should be started that they can go through several phases of preferences before finally landing on something that is their own aesthetic. Buckle up parents, just because they wanted you to buy shades of blue last month doesn’t mean that you won’t be found buying yellow the next month because your little alpha changed their mind. 

Also be considerate that as they explore relationships and pack connections that then den preferences could change. Obviously an alpha’s den is their own space 99% of the time but their instincts can sway them to want to please whoever they are wanting to impress. It’s natural and there’s no need to panic!

Grown Alphas: 

Once they’ve moved past the stage where they are constantly changing their minds a grown alpha will finally reach a point of self actualization and have experienced enough aesthetics to create something that is uniquely them. This is especially important as they reach the ages to start properly courting or allowing outsiders into their own space. Nesting materials are of highest importance, do not let yourself forget, but it is more about *how* everything is set up around them. While an omega is mostly focused on the nest specifically, an alpha is more focused on the area surrounding the nest. This includes things like lights, placement of the nest within said room, wall décor, proximity of a bathroom and escape exit, and also showing that they can provide for an omega’s basic needs like having snacks and drinks on hand. 

As for courting goes it is very special to an alpha to let them control when you are allowed into their den space. You don’t enter an omega’s nest without permission also applies to an alpha’s den. The presentation of the den by an alpha (or even a beta partner in certain circumstances) should fall near the end of the courting timeline. It requires a certain level of trust because a den is a direct reflection on the alpha who is presenting it. This can be a highly stressful event for alphas, so you want to make sure that you are responding appropriately. But if you as their partner enjoy and appreciate their den make sure to praise them above and beyond, creating an even stronger bond with your alpha. 

The term ‘den’ does not only describe a very specific space but for an alpha living on their own it can include the whole dwelling place. This can be an entire house (including front and back yard as well as the geographical location of said dwelling place) or a specific set of rooms.

Conclusion: 

✦The meaning of the colours and shapes✦

This one is a bit more simple because Dynamifluid people or other dynamics in-between can claim the other dynamics flags too and their meanings are all incapsulated in this one all at once.

✦ Blue: Symbolizes Alphas. See the Alpha flag for reference. ✦ Green: Symbolizes Betas. See the Beta flag for Reference. ✦ White: Symbolizes Pride. Pride in being not just one Dynamics, but multiple, or even being a tertiary dynamics (Theta, Sigma, Delta, etc.) ✦ Lime: Symbolizes Dinamifluids and Other Dynamics. This is the colour I attribute with Dynamifluids because It's a colour between Yellow and Green. So literally a colour that is inbetween. ✦ Pink: Symbolizes Omegas. See Omega flag for reference. ✦ Grey: Symbolizes Fluidity and In-Betweeness. The grey is the colour between black and white, and it symbolizes the fluidity of Omegaverse as well as the dynamics themselves, where-in an individual if they so wish to, or feel like it's right for them, can shift between the dynamics. ✦ Inverted 8 pointed star: Symbolizes Focus on the Lesser Known Dynamics. In the Miscecanis flag, the "inbetweens" are smaller in comparisson to the other 3 main dynamics + the tertiary ones. But here this is inverted. The In-Between of Dynamics takes the front seat and is shown bigger and prouder.

I hope you guys like it. You can check the other flags here:

So I may or may not have spent a lot of time making this flag (No I could not figure out how to not make it blurry on tumblr, thanks tumblr). It's a pride flag for all those of us who identify with the omegaverse lifestyle, or in a deeper more intimate level. Ever since I came up with the term in 2020 I kind of wanted to make a flag for it, and now we finally have one! I'm so excited!!!

For example, omega 1 purrs only when surrounded by pack who is also purring but omega 2 will start the purr machine at the drop of a hat. They wake up in cozy blankets? Purr. A friend makes them happy? Purr.

I made new queer pride flags for Omegagender (left) and Alphagender (right), which are genders for people who relate to the Omega or Alpha genders in the omegaverse / A/B/O genre.

oh my goodness hi you’re my first anon this is so exciting

Ok so. When it’s cold, I like to build my nest with pillows around me in a circle, and all my blankets on top of me. But when it’s warm, I switch up the layers. I make a circle nest, with my pillows and less squishy blankets providing structure around the edges, and then I lay my big fluffy comforter on top of it all. I accidentally picked a duvet for it that’s a perfect material for keeping cool because it’s a smooth weave. If you can sit on top of all of the fluff, then you still get the benefit of fluff without the warmth.

I still like to be covered though, so I reserve my sheet for last. That goes on top of me, and for comfort I have my favorite stuffed animal and some sweatshirts to hold. I keep the best scented things close to my face since I can’t bury my face in blankets in the warm weather.

Finally, air flow! I put a fan in my room and crank it. When my alpha is in there we get the fan from her room too lol. I also keep the windows wide open at night, and then close them when the day starts to heat up. That way you get a head start on the cool air. It also helps to keep your shades drawn in the day so your room doesn’t heat up.

That’s about all I got. Good luck, I hope you have a cozy summer nest!

Omega

Keening: A wail-like call for something, usually a pack member or an item. If an Omega is not getting what they want or is upset, they will keen to get the attention of the nearest person in order to be soothed or be given what they desire. Basically shouting at others: “I’m upset!! Give me what I want! Comfort me!”

Hissing: A low “s” sound made if the Omega is provoked and thinks they or their pack are in an extremely dangerous situation. Hissing is a warning sound made to get others to back off or to alert others that they will attack if said provocation continues.

Trilling: Trilling is a high-pitched rolling “r” sound in the back of the throat that typically occurs in short intervals or once. Trilling is a way for an omega to get attention, in a soft and non-threatening way. For example, if an omega woke up and saw their partner in the kitchen, they could trill to say hello and alert their mate that they are there. Trilling in public areas indicates that the Omega wants others to follow them. As another example, an Omega may trill at their friends before running into their favorite store. The Omega is either saying “hello! I’m here and want you to know of my presence, but I don’t need anything at the moment!” or “I’m going this way! Follow me!”

Purring: Purring is a low, continuous vibratory sound made for a multitude of reasons. Omegas purr when they are content, relaxed, nursing their children, or are in a good mood. Omegas may also purr to self-soothe. If they are in an uncomfortable or stressful situation they may unconsciously start to purr to calm themselves.

Chirping: A quick, sharp high-pitched sound. Typically used towards pups or to express happiness. Mothers will chirp at their pups to send messages such as “come to Mom!” and “Mom is here!” Further, if an omega is happy, they will chirp to express their pleasure. For example, if an Omega’s mate makes them dinner, the Omega may chirp to indicate they like the meal.

Mewling: A whimper or high-pitched crying noise to express unhappiness. Omegas mewl when they are hungry or in pain, whether it be physical or mental.

Alpha

Rumbling: A continuous, deep sound. Rumbling is very diverse in how it can be used by Alphas. Most often, rumbling is used to self-soothe or express content and relaxation. Rumbling can also soothe others if they are uneasy.

Growling: Growling is a low, guttural noise made in the throat. Growling is used to show almost all displeasure an Alpha experiences. It can be used similarly to hissing for omegas, as a warning when they feel as though they or their pack is in danger. Alphas also growl when they are annoyed or angry. Last, Alphas may growl at their pup, mate, or pack member with a disciplinary tone to convey that they are not happy with that person.

Crooning: A soft, low continuous noise that sounds like a hum. Crooning is typically directed at younger pups or distressed people and is meant to come off as soothing and safe.

Chuffing: A puffing sound. It sounds like this. Used to greet pack members and friends. However, chuffing goes farther than that. Alphas will only chuff if they feel very comfortable with the people they are chuffing at. They will not even chuff in the presence of strangers. When they chuff, they are basically saying: “hello! You are my person/one of my people! I like you!”
