#courting

LIVE

No female-presenting nipples here, staff, just two blue-footed boobys performing their mating dance!

Happy Valentine’s Day from @wildlifewednesdays

Here’s a male blue-footed booby displaying his gorgeously colored feet, along with his beak and wings, to woo a female!

So, in my ‘My Main Omegaverse AU,’ I talked about Alpha’s dens and how they make them for an Omega to nest in them as well as have their own space. However, they can also be used to court a Beta but I wanted to give it its own post

 Beta’s cocoon where ever they see fit. And while them cocooning in a Alpha’s den can indicate of accepting the courting the gesture, it doesn’t always. Usually, a way to a Beta’s heart is courting through love languages and gifts. They’re not overly critical or overthinking usually, so when an Alpha comes to them with three large bouquets of flowers, they’re sometimes confused.

 But once that happens, a way to see if the Alpha and Beta’s relationship has entered the next stage, is when the Beta cocoons, and it just might be in the Alpha’s den, and it’s on the bed, or chair, or wherever their partner (of any dynamic) may spend the most time resting.

Fatal Attraction

In interpersonal relationships a fatal attraction is when the very qualities that draw us to someone eventually contribute to relational breakup.

Diane Felmlee,a professor of sociology at Penn State University, is the major contributor in fatal attraction framework.

One conclusion resulting from Felmlee’s research was that differences were the most common type of fatal attraction. Therefore, the differences in partners that were initially attractive were not in the long run. Another conclusion was that other perceived opposite qualities such as being fun and exciting can eventually be the cause for breakup if one is fun or exciting to an extreme.  Finally, it seems that being attracted to a narcissistic person is also a common type of fatal attraction. $

Summary:When Jiang Yanli joins Jiang Cheng in visiting Wei Wuxian at the Burial Grounds, the two brothers are on the verge of cutting ties forever — until Jiang Yanli has a better idea. Wei Wuxian doesn’t need to leave the sect. He needs to get married, and she has the perfect Sect Leader in mind.

When Lan Wangji is invited to come along on Wei Wuxian’s visit to the Unclean Realm to spend time with his new betrothed, Nie Mingjue, he agrees — even though his heart is breaking. How else is he ever going to see Wei Wuxian again?

When Nie Mingjue welcomes Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji into his home, he realizes two things very quickly: 1.) They clearly want each other so badly they can barely stand it, and 2.) Nie Mingjue is Into That.

(In which arranged marriage to Nie Mingjue solves just about everyone’s problems)

My comments: Aahhh, this was a ship I never realized I needed in my life, but here we are. Author does it so well: in the context of the story, not only is it robust and believable, but it’s honest and loving and fun for all three of them. And if, in the process, the course of canon is changed such that everyone lives and the world is a brighter, happier place, than so be it. (Of course, there’s some angst and intrigue and machinations to get through first, but that’s requisite seasoning, imho.)

(Seriously. I’m very jealous and protective of my OTP wangxian, so it has to be a pretty special story if I’m willing and happy to share them with someone else. However, remember that your mileage may vary.)

I always talk about alphas courting omegas but I’m also so pro omegas courting alphas.

An omega realizing their alpha’s bag has a tear in it and stealing it so they can mend it for them bc they know buying a new one would be fine but their alpha is attached to this one already

An omega buying jewelry for their alpha! Strong alpha decorated in pretty crystals and metals.

Omegas that order food to their alpha’s house when they know they will be too tired to cook for themselves

Omegas that make their alpha take a day off for pampering. Making sure every scent they use is one the alpha likes and washing their hair and moisturizing their skin. Alpha doesn’t like the smell of candles? The omega has soft fairy lights up instead for atmosphere.

————————————————-

Of the time he has known you, he has realized you were a creature of comfort, someone who needed to self soothe with items. He noticed how you always rubbed your fingers together, probably subconsciously. He noticed all of your clothing was of the same material, soft cotton that probably felt good against your skin.

He and his alpha hated that they had not been able to find you sooner, had not been able to show you the love you deserved sooner. Maybe then you would be able to accept their love without thinking it was a joke.

Seokjin just wanted you to see yourself the way that they saw you. He hoped that their courting of you would be able to help you truly love yourself, and not just the façade you seemed to put up. 

The start to his packs courting of you was food and flowers, typical courting items that most packs started with.

But after that, it usually differed depending on the person being courted. 

For Jungkook, his second phase of courting involved trips to Han River where he could lay in the grass, picnics by the waterfront as they listened to the trees rustle in the wind.

Jungkook’s background was very sheltered, and he was not allowed to leave the house until he was 18. So, the beginning of their courting was secret, hidden from his family. 

After he presented, he was only allowed to go to school and back, his family had wanted to take the alpha wolf out of their son.

Seokjin knew your home life was nothing of the sort, but emotional abuse was sometimes just as bad, if not worse than physical. And he would do anything he could to help bring you out of your shell. If that meant buying you comfort items as your personalized courting gifts, then so be it.

TOMORROW

ok srs question,,, how would an omega feel about an alpha making them a blanket for your nest? is that too weird? because that’s my only redeeming partnership quality

I would literally cry so much because that’s such a sweet gesture?? It would be my fave new thing!

I second what @blanket-omega​ said!! The idea that someone would go to all that time and effort just for me and my nest would make me feel so loved.

omg!! the overwhelming amount of good responses to this - tysm guys i wasn’t sure how an omega would feel about that but i’ll keep this in mind if i ever court anyone! crochet is one of my special interests and i’d love to share it with somebody :))

this is such a lovely concept !!!!! how sweet !! ♡

The last of seven brand new Drarry fics inspired by the seven Weasley siblings.

Lastly, we let @gildedscripture​ wrap up this series with a story featuring the youngest of the siblings, bamf Ginny Weasley. With all the grace she can bother (i.e. none), she takes it upon herself to guide her ignorant, peeking-out-of-the-closet fellow LGBT buddy through the intricate (and quite confusing) hoops of traditional pure-blood courting.

Fact 90: Dancing is the main courting ritual but there was a different kind of social gathering in times before: the Mating Run.

The Mating Run is a voluntary chase where the omegas prove their prowess by running from the alphas, who prove their skill by chasing them. Those who didn’t want to participate and betas, who were not allowed to join (olden times were less inclusive of the beta population in regards to romance than they are now), watched and mingled. Packs and pack members came from miles to participate in the run.

Fact 91: It was common, expected even, for participating members to wear a ribbon or garment with the colors or symbol of their pack on it. If one were to wear no associated colors then they would be declaring themselves to be a lone wolf.

Fact 91.5: This is why it’s socially distasteful if a pack member didn’t wear their color, as they would be insulting their pack in front of everyone.

An alpha making a nest for their omega; the ultimate courting gift. If the omega accepts the nest, arranging it as they see fit. Aw! It’s like the equivalent of “She said yes!!!”
