omg please (only if you want of course) expand on what you said about omegaverse being Wrong about dog sex
well there's a few different things but here's my primary objections, based on my personal experience assisting with dog breeding:
- knotting itself REALLY does not seem fun for most dogs (Glimmer disagrees but she is. an outlier in my experience.) they definitely are compelled to mate, and I think that must be enjoyable, but once the tie happens most dogs are immediately like "goddammit" and just stand around in a state of chagrined regret for twenty minutes. the most extreme version of post nut clarity. some of them REALLY hate it and you have to grab the bitch to prevent her from trying to run off with the dog's dick still in there bc she could potentially really hurt him. so there is a lot of comedy potential there imo. firstly you're stuck together for half an hour and it's deeply inconvenient. what if one of you needs to get up and grab something off the dresser. imagine the stupid little shuffling walk they'd have to do. and then also imagine if there was a very real danger that someone would freak out and try to Escape your dick in a blind panic and you'd have to try to keep them calm so they didn't give you some sort of dick injury? very funny.
- on a more social implications level, I think it is cowardly to not do a left hand of darkness thing where when someone ISN'T in heat, sex simply Does Not Occur. Ever. as in it is physiologically*not possible* to have sex outside of heats, and no one has any interest in it. that would change human society SO much & is a really fascinating world building scenario, imo, and I think it's really weaksauce that ppl aren't exploring it. heat cycles exist because of a very very different model of ovulation cycles that result in pretty extreme physiological and therefore social differences re: sex, and I think that's interesting to think about in terms of human social structures and how much they would be changed if our reproductive cycles worked more like dogs!
anyway. obvious disclaimer that I have not Read Every Omegaverse Fic and I'm sure some people are exploring things thoughtfully because the world is full of a diversity of human experiences. but IN GENERAL, in the most prevalent media depictions, there is a profound intellectual laziness that I simply cannot respect. i understand that it's just about being horny. but please can't ppl try to be horny in a more thoughtful and interesting way. incurious horniness is nothing to me
I was googling pictures of foxes and found this one. It has definitely made a good attempt at ruining sexy fox fics for me. Look at them. They hate their lives. They're making the world's worst small talk. They are both imagining how great it will be to go home to their own bed. They are counting down the seconds.
YOU GET IT!!!!!!
