I mean the set up is nice. It's just really depressing that he let the alpha guy get bullied. He lost points for that.
To be fair if you were this kid who got labelled as an omega when you dont even know what it means and you see someone get bullied because of it, wouldn't that get you scared as well? Especially the way his classmates bullied the alpha guy. I definitely would. Im not saying that he did the right thing but you have to understand the situation as well. Try putting yourself in his shoes.
Um no. If he had stepped in his school life would have been HELL. Because he was ACTUALLY an omega. And he didn't know that dude from ADAM. They'd never interacted before. And that Alpha dude has never done anything for him, before, that he would have to reciprocate, either. So, one of the things that separates this from simply being an uninvolved bystander to bullying is fulfilled. Self defense. Thx.
Exactly. If the kid wasn't the omega, the Alpha had saved him from something else prior to when the bullying started, the action he was saved from both/either lead to the misunderstanding and/or It arose from something completely unrelated to him, personally, he didn't regret not helping the other guy (and actually blamed him for being in the situation he was in) AND he was not coerced into betraying the alpha this would be an entirely different story and I would absolutely loathe the uke just like I loathe the one in Mobius Strip.
Totally understand his situation, but i'd be dying with guilt? I'd have to reread but I don't remember if he expressed any remorse? He could've at least tried to help? I've endured extreme bullying, so i don't really tolerate this kind of stuff and it irks me when people can just watch it happen. It's an interesting read, so ill sit and wait for character development.
I have also been the target of extreme bullying and those who didn't step in when it wouldn't have cost them anything to do so and who haven't shown an ounce of remorse I will never forgive. Those who had similar extenuating circumstances as the omega in this story have never felt one bit of my ire.
Cowardice(but not blaming him). What self defence he's not defending himself cause he's not even taking responsibility for what he is and is letting someone else get bullied in place of him, if he was not there the alpha wouldn't have gotten bullied. Although its not his fault he's an omega he is one and because of him that innocent, unrelated guy is getting bullied for no reason. He didn't even attempt to stop his friends bullying him, and where did he show remorse? And being a bystander to the bullying makes it worse, he didn't even simply ignore the bullying, he stood by the bullies giving the bullies an audience and the confidence to continue their acts. This is also evident cause the alpha(bullied guy) remembers the omegas face so obvi was a part of his traumatic bullied past. So yeah the omega deserves what the alpha does (giving him lots of work). Whats worse is the omega says he hates alphas when it was the betas who bullied the alpha cause of him.
(Also just read your comment again, I digressed but, when was he in danger of rape in middle school?)
Anyway what the omega did was pretty shitty but I can't blame him too much cause he did want to avoid getting beat and its not his fault he's an omega but he still losses points
He's not responsible for the bullies but it is his fault the guys getting bullied. If he wasn't there and the bullies wouldn't think the alpha was an omega and bully him.
For example pretend your parents gave you a really strong smelling lunchbox to class and everyone thought it was the person sitting next to you and started making fun of them. Its not your fault but why would you let the person next to you take the blame that's mean. At least you would tell the people making fun of them not to you don't even have to own up to it thats its actually your lunchbox... if you wouldn't at least do that I question your morality
So he lets the alpha, who did nothing wrong, take the risk of being raped for him in his place since he was targeted as the 'omega'.
I don't think that's a case of self-defense..
An analogy for y'all; There's 3 people (x,y,z), y has a gun and he asks which one of them is x. x remains quiet, but z tries to argue that he isn't x, in the end y shoots one of them and it ends up being z. So is that a case of self-defense? is x justified in letting z be shot because he doesn't want to?
But im reminded of the goddess Skadi whenever i read this lol
What's that??
Norse goddess Skadi, goddess of bowhunting, mountains, and winter. She also is a playable character in the game smite where she has a wolf friend named Kaldr(means cold in old norse).
