HWHABAHAHA LOL TRUEEE
Tbh people’s tolerances for medicine tend to decrease over time with repetitive usage. This is why people are prescribed limited duration of medication use, and if people in the omegaverse abuse it to induce a heat or delay it, it can really fuck up the point of the medication in the first place. Also, these dudes aren’t going to the doctor often to get their prescriptions rewired, so that can also be a different cause
OHHHH THAT MAKES SENSE
lol if omegaveese was real this would basically be the opioid pandemic
Depends on the side effects and risks of taking the medication for a long period of time. Would make a fun twist to write an omegaverse where the meds themselves are addictive and efficacy goes down relatively quickly with prolonged use.
lol this is an interesting topic, if meds actually did go down in efficacy I imagine living as an omega would be way way harder if it actually existed. like they would be an even lower class of citizen then they already are since the meds would be hella expensive at a certain point so either theyd need so consume so many of them or they gotta tank their heat each time, neither of which seem like good options.
Seriously. And even being an alpha would become a nuisance since their ruts would be uncontrollable, despite their immense power, money, and influence. So really, being a beta is the best… But they’re even more at a disadvantage considering an Alpha’s physical prowess. Would powerful Betas then use Alphas and Omegas in other ways, since it’s nearly impossible (after a certain point) to control their heat/rut? And what would the power dynamic in that world look like? Idk. It would be a fascinating read imo. I’d love to see how it plays out culturally as well.
As an aside, sorry. Can you tell I work in social sciences? Lmao. I really do love reading this stuff. The way the authors apply it is so interesting!
every omegaverse has a scene where the meds dont work and I gotta wonder how they havent been sued yet
