as much as i think stereotypes can be a great starting point to build upon… when can we just,,, let go of them?
i’m really tired of alphas being perceived as 100% masc, actively seeking a mate, and aggressive.
alphas breaking stereotypes is totally okay
not all alphas are frat boys, and that’s totally okay
being a feminine alpha is totally okay
being a shy alpha is totally okay
not all alphas are gym monsters, and that’s totally okay
being an alpha with insecurities is totally okay
being an alpha who doesn’t want a mate is totally okay
not all alphas have a short temper, and that’s totally okay
being an alpha who isn’t seeking an omega for a mate is totally okay
not all alphas want pups, and that’s totally okay
not all alphas are abusive yandere control freaks seeking to completely dominate their partner into submission and seclude them from the rest of the world by using their genetic abilities
give me SOFT alphas!
give me mtf alphas!
give me ftm alphas!
give me chubby alphas!
give me alphas who knit and sew!
give me alphas who want to carry their own pups!
alphas don’t always have to be assholes who solely exist to be plot devices for your omega main character
add some pizazz, i am beggingyou
and i don’t mean to shit on people who do write alphas like this. they can totally be like this, and it can totally be beneficial to your story, but that’s all i’m seeing.
