A/B/O fanfiction except that instead of people’s ~uncontrollable animal instincts~ being rape-y possessive psuedo-wolf bullshit, it’s all based on birds

a bunch of broody intense alphas building nests like bowerbirds and doing ridiculous mating dances and song competitions to win over omegas going into heat, please

I deeply, deeply enjoy the concept of bowerbird alphas, and how that turns the Turbo Perposterone on its head.

Alpha: YOU MENTIONED MISSING YOUR GRANDMA’S PORCH, I HAVE A PORCH, YES, I’VE ALWAYS HAD A PORCH AND THE SWING AND THE FIRE PIT, IT’S JUST UHHHHH NEW PAINT

Alpha: HEY BORROW MY EXTRA GLOVES, WHY YES THEY’RE HOMEMADE, ARE THEY NOT THE WARMEST AND YOUR FAVORITE COLOR, YOU CAN KEEP THEM

Omega: I get really grumpy and a homebody before my heat. I really just wanna hole up somewhere comfortable

Alpha: I HAVE MADE MY HOUSE MORE PHYSICALLY COMFORTABLE THAN YOUR HOUSE AND ALSO TASTEFULLY DECORATED, ARE YOU NOT PLEASED

Omega: Kinda insulted, kinda horny, sure

First, I love this, second, I’m now imagining omegas getting wibbly over alphas who wear REALLY obnoxiously brightly-coloured shirts and break into song Broadway-style in public. The more elaborate the hat your alpha wiill wear for you, the sexier.

Oh my GOSH, yes. The musical as the most romantic form of media!

This is the only type of a/b/o I will accept ever in my life

This is my new favourite take

Just like bird sex chromosomes are called Z and W rather than X and Y because they work differently than mammalian chromosomes do, I propose this be called something other than A/B/O, because frankly, that entire terminology reeks of very bad, very sexist pseudo-science. Whereas nobody talks about alpha birds, and that is a good thing.

Following the same logic as Z and W would get us Gamma, Delta, Psi, but Psi means something else in fiction, so I dunno, Gamma Delta Zeta? Zeta’s only the 6th letter of the Greek alphabet, but since it’s the last one in most Roman-based alphabets, it can carry the same energy as Omega, the last letter in the Greek alphabet.

So, G/D/Z? Hey, I’ll ship it.
