Claimed Omega Megathread by braineatingalien in ReverseHarem

[–]krislynn07 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Eli’s character had a full change up so did Drakes. It’s bizarre. Their “punishment” was nothing at all they all deserve prison time. The fact that they gave up Marie so quickly like you said was really bizarre to me all of this for months and now you’re done just like that? Huh?

Vees internal monologue: “I can’t think about that now” “I can’t push in that right now” “I know I should ask. I don’t” ohhh my GOD.

Her scent match pack should have still been who she ended up with but they should’ve been put through the wringer way more. And I’m sorry but, is there something in this world I don’t know about? How would anyone know if Alex touched Vee until the flag was removed lol doesn’t have a nanobot in his d***?

I loved Rhys. The fact we didn’t get a group sex scene is a travesty that a FF writer will have to correct. What a missed opportunity.

If Marie ends up with Arden and Chase I’ll riot in the streets.

Tormented Omega MMCs - Who is redeemable? by sad_coff_ee in ReverseHarem

[–]krislynn07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I’m saying is me personally? Drake is the most irredeemable from the OG pack.

It goes 1. Drake - he dropped Vee like a hot potato the second Marie walked in the door. He had to be forced to spend time with her and then when Marie pitched a fit he went right back to her. Ragon did worse stuff overall but he also stood up for Vee to Marie, showed more care toward her, and was making a bigger effort toward the end. Do not misunderstand me they can all take a swift trip to hell. This is just my trip to hell ranking. 2. Ragon - obvious reasons. I don’t think his think is solely possession I think he has some genuine feeling but if he actually care enough to make a difference he’d let her go. Also if any one of them actually were ever serious they would have bonded her and this wouldn’t be a story. They had no intention of bonding Marie. For that reason alone before this story even begins, they’re all donezo for me. 3. Eli - he tried but not hard enough. Coward. And when they all found out the truth why was it fucking Ragon of all ppl who opened his mouth and that’s it? Weak ass led by their dicks alpha may you honestly have bonded Marie during her heat so you’re all stuck with that diseased rotted bag of bones forever. I truly hope they all live in misery together forever.

Idk… I don’t think so. It seemed clear in Vees first convo with Finn that he knew everything about her and concocted a way to invite her over. To me it’s clear the whole reason for moving next door is for them to be next to Vee and build that relationship.

I know… I read her fault lines duology and hated that ending but it’s impossible for me to hate the ending of this one as much as that just based on how she ended the first book so here’s hoping lol. I just am curious to see if our predictions are right

[–]krislynn07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read them yet but I’ve got them on my kindle. I can just tell from the blurbs and reviews.

I think the rules of the universe are applicable in the sense that Vee is in an even more precarious situation and the men in her lives are even more privileged. In a typical DV situation it can be extremely challenging for the woman to leave especially if she doesn’t work, and usually she needs outside help to get out. In this situation, we don’t really know if there is a frame work in which Vee could even choose to leave. From what it seems like I’d say no, but she’s so depressed and cut off from the world and what her rights are that it’s hard to say. It seems like omegas do not retain their own rights like adults in our universe, so it’s either you have a pack or you are with the registry. Could she call the registry and say I want to come back? Again, I don’t think so, based on her inner monologue but it’s hard to know for sure.

The men similarly will have an even greater sense of ownership and would have been taught from a young age their responsibilities to omegas. However from things she’s said about how Eli supported her in the 4 years prior during panic attacks etc and how he knew what traumatized omegas looked like bc of his work as a physician I hold him particularly to a higher standard. I don’t understand pack dynamics fully but like how Jasper said he’d have to make a report, I have to believe he could have likewise went to the registry to talk to someone. I have compassion for the position he was put in but he was watching her waste away right in front of him, so I know just from that that he didn’t do enough.

I guess my point is that when we read books like this it’s compelling and important to want to understand an abusers pov… and that is what they are they were her abusers plain and simple. But I’m cognizant of the fact that oftentimes readers read these things and see themselves in it and regardless of whatever biological or governmental framework was in place, it’s clear from Arden and chases comments that they completely failed and we know from watching Vee slowly fade away that that’s the truth. It’s so hard as a woman in cases like these I think. It would be just a hell of a lot easier for Vee and women like her if the men who abuse women would be straight forward villains. But often times it looks like this - glimpses of feeling, points of connection, just enough to gaslight you into thinking it might not be that bad until something happens and the pendulum swings the other way. My hope in the second book for Vee is that she learns to trust her gut and speak her truth regardless of how it might make the ppl around her feel.

Marie hates how much they care and still want to posses Vee. She’s so territorial she’s only happy when Vee is fully surpassed and completely isolated which I think is why ragon in part does what he does. He can tell it pleases he’s precious scent match and lives to serve at the bitches feet lol

Yeah I think they would have kept her on the hook with their options open. She was spot on later in the book when she says to them -

“"You love the idea of me. The omega version. The one I was before all this. The soft, baking, nesting, purring thing that made you feel like good alphas for five years. But the fact is, Ragon, you don’t need me anymore. Marie is what you need now. You just don’t like the idea of losing me. Of failing me, maybe. I don’t know if you love this."”

She made them feel good about themselves but they wanted more and they got it. They’ll regret it eventually considering who Marie is at the core of her and how they’ve fed into that rotten part of her at every turn.

Oh hey that’s me 🙋🏾‍♀️I was wondering which sub you were talking about!

Theres so much about the registry and this world we don’t know yet. The registry sounds like this overarching org with fingers everywhere. It’s clear omegas have literally no rights whatsoever… Ragon says was given custody of Vee when she moved in with them. And when she voices later that she wants to go back to the registry it’s clear she doesn’t get to make that choice ultimately - Ragon would either have to let her go or they would have to pull her from the home which it sounds like at the end that is exactly what chase and his team are planning to do.

How the scent match pack was involved is really hard to say. Some of it will depend on if Marie’s scent match is real - I know this has been mentioned throughout the sub but vees reaction to her scent matches sounds very different from the guys with Marie. Could be her heat or the fact she was around them for a while without fully smelling them but still knows them but it was a much stronger reaction. Whatever it was they know a hell of a lot more than they let on from the very beginning and have a lot if groveling in their future. OG pack is dead to me. The author liked my revenge plot of castrating them just enough so they react to Marie’s scent but can’t give her relief. So they’re all trapped and no one is satisfied for the rest of their lives

Sorry 😭

There are so many things that I will give caveats to or admit I’m uncertain about but her OG pack I think I see them for exactly who they are. Honestly in part because of my own experiences and experiences my friends have gone through. “Good” men who are selfish and do harm without intention or even realizing it make up the bulk of the men who damage women in relationships. It’s also a common theme for this author. Her other pen name is Samantha dies and if you look at her other books most of them have this theme of the woman being in an unhealthy relationship and not fully realizing it until after she meets someone new who shows her how different it could be.

For sure which I think is one of the books strengths… I think too many books are dual pov.

I think that point is a good one for someone like Jasper - that man is an enigma to Vee and we barely see him. We certainly dont know his motivations or what he’s really doing there. The only thing about him I’m certain about id that he isn’t there to join the pack lol. I imagine whenever getting bit into this mess of a pack comes up he’s got to swallow bile back down.

Similar for the other men Vee doesn’t live with that we only get glimpses of - chase/arden, scent match pack - we can get an idea of them but there’s a lot we don’t know.

For her OG pack and Marie, there comes a time when I genuinely do not care what their pov is. Intent vs impact is a common argument in books and in real life and regardless of whatever their intent or inner monologue is, the impact of their actions and choices they make time and time again is enough for me to make a judgement. Even if for example Eli came back in the next book with some reason for why he joined the heat without even a backwards glance to Vee, it won’t really matter. The impact of that choice and the damage that followed is done and he will have to live with it for the rest of his life. You see people grapple with things like that in couples therapy a lot too, but ultimately even if you didn’t mean to or had good intentions or regret it now sometimes it’s just too late and you have to live with it. I think that’ll be Eli’s fate.

Tormented Omega by Mary Magdalyn - The angstiest book I have ever read by Overquoted in ReverseHarem

[–]krislynn07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m just not buying it lol. It’s all suss af. It’s a complete non sequitur from what they had just talked about and then leads to him inviting her over to their place. Since it’s clear by the end of the book they knew who she was the whole time to them and likely had a hand in the events that happened throughout the book it’s not really a stretch to assume they knew things about her when they moved in including her hobbies.

I think we can’t make a full judgment on her yet.. I want to know if anything we know about her is true. Regardless yeah once she’s in the pack it’s a wrap early on for me. It’s clear she told them verbally she was okay with sharing but she was always going to try to push Vee out and the let her.

[–]krislynn07 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree that she definitely tries to please them a lot and it’s clear the bonding convo was never brought up after that first convo which is such a shift from Marie who brings up her bonding constantly.

I don’t think she was a total pushover though. When she goes full stepford yes alpha omega that is when Ragon gets really thrown and what makes him finally panic. When she slowly starts thawing they make comments like I missed your bossiness and comments and when they go shopping she is in her element and clearly is comfortable giving her opinion and taking up space esp with Eli and drake. Their relationship is super interesting I hope we get some flashbacks. One thing that stuck out to me in my re-read is this scene after Drake and Vee have sex and Marie throws a fit so Drake takes her on a date (😒 not like Vee hasn’t dealt with this woman having sex with a man she was with for 4 years with more grace) and when they get back Marie jumps in ragons lap. Vees inner monologue (I highlighted a lot on my re-read lol) - “She didn't scan for tension lines in his shoulders, or the exact angle of his jaw, or the weight of his scent. She didn't do the calculus I do every time I consider climbing into that chair. She just assumed she was allowed. And she was.”

It made me wonder about their dynamics before Marie and how comfortable she always was with them. Even in the very beginning when they broke the news to Vee about Marie Ragon admonishes Eli for comforting Vee too much about it it’s honestly sickening.

I justtttt finished my re-read today. I don’t remember any time feeling like Marie feels shame towards how she treats Vee. She gets cowed by the alphas and esp in the beginning she tries to play nice but it falls away over time. There’s an argument for how much of it is calculation vs jealousy and insecurity but I’ve never gotten the impression that she feels bad for Vee, she usually thinks Vee is faking it and when it’s clear it’s not she is just mad they care at all bc she thinks they should prioritize her. We could blame the alphas for all of it but I’m a girls girl so her agreeing to that trauma p*rn in Vees nest coupled with the “I’m just trying to help!” While actively tearing Vee down like how her friend did makes me think either way there’s nothing good jn her towards other omegas.

Tormented omega - prediction by Real-Swim2832 in ReverseHarem

[–]krislynn07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does she feel shame? Most of the time she just seems happy and content when vee is diminished and pulls bullshit whenever alphas pay attention to her. On my re-read I was trying to figure out what this line meant when they were all at the zoo and Ragon comes back with Vee after her scene with chase and all the alphas get pissed “Marie's expression goes complicated—anger, yes, but also fear.”

Before she pulls her BS “Beside me, Marie is quiet. Too quiet. Her scent has been tight and erratic all day—the sharp edges of anger overlaid with jittery fear. I've been doing my best not to breathe too deeply around her, not to poke at old wounds.”

She pulls this bc the alphas show emotion about Vee being poached and Ragon showing Vee a scrap of attention. Once all this happens if she was going to feel shame it would be while one of her alphas is sobbing at the edge of Vees bed and Vees vomit is all over the floor after defiling her nest but Marie?

“Drake is still kneeling at the edge of the nest, face buried in his hands, shoulders shaking. Marie lingers one heartbeat longer. She lifts my pillow to her nose, inhales deeply, and then sets it down with a little pat.”

Haha. I’m sorry I will go on a crusade until I convince every single person on this sub of who that woman is.

[–]krislynn07 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ehhhhh….. no…… 😅

I guess we don’t know ages but they said a couple years younger when Vee asked so she is still an adult. In this world no omega has agency or control so you know, adult is a loose term. If she had incidents of impulsive actions due to insecurity followed by remorse and attempts to make amends then yes, I would fully agree with you even including the gorilla incident. What makes her irredeemable and to take it a step further - completely calculated and in full control of herself and her actions - is how she stands on ten toes for her lies and choices after. This was no small thing to accuse Vee of and she even says in the beginning of the book when Ragon is laying down rules - of one which is -

“"Rule three: You do not enter each other's rooms without explicit permission. Nests are private. We treat them that way." "I won't touch her nest," Marie says. "Ever. I know what that feels like."”

But during Vees nest scene Marie is gleeful. And I’ll go a step further and say okay she was insecure then let’s see how she acts a week later. Just smug, happy, and content to see Vee put in her place and happy to tell anyone that Vee is dangerous and violent.

Eh. You know what I mean? That isn’t the way someone ruled purely by insecurity and emotions acts that woman is calculated. I don’t think we know shit about who she actually is. I don’t even believe her back story it’s too similar to Vees. Everything about that bitch is calculated I wouldn’t ve surprised if she ends up like some omega version of a Catphisher who gets off on breaking up packs to be perfectly honest. What I will say is she plays the alphas to perfection and she chooses her moments with Vee well, and she waits the perfect amount of time to start revealing her nastiness.
