Headcannons about ABO dynamics's Evolution during history? Something that really fascinantes me about the omegaverse is the biological aspect of It and the Evolution that the 'secondary sexes and dynamics may have experienced over the years. Did alphas, omegas and betas exist since the beginning of the human race? Or at first there were only beta men and women and the rest of the dynamics appeared later?
I like to imagine that originally only existed beta men and women, but at some point the human race was at such big risk of becoming extinct that the secondary alpha/omega dynamics appeared as a mechanism to guarantee a higher chance of reproduction. The capacity of impregnating and getting pregnant being independent from the first sex (man or woman) would allow communities to keep growing despite having a lack of men or women, because there would still be a certain percentage of Alpha women/ omega men that can impregnate/be pregnant and compensate the lack of biological men and women (If we asume that the possibilities of becoming Alpha, beta and omega are all the same)
happy monday!
I've seen it both ways, I prefer writing the "always been this way" style because honestly it makes it easier for me and i have less questions I have to muddle through in the worldbuilding journey.
Here's some of my considerations -
the beta loving community is strong! making betas = normal humans doesn't normally play well with that crowd. Of course, I never write things or refrain from writing things for the pleasure of other people, but still.
if there was an event that impacted fertility rates like that - what's the point of having betas at all? and beyond that does that mean all alphas men and/or amab? are all omegas women and/or afab?
If not - this turns into sort of two phenomenons, 1. being the hypersexuality and hyper-fertility and 2. this suggests biologically at some point teens might develop the genitalia and secondary sex characteristics normally biologically reserved for the opposite gender. With my very small knowledge of what life is like as an intersex individual, I doubt that society would suddenly jump on this train like it's the bee's knees. What then???
Human evolution moves slowly - there are several vestigial elements that are fading out of the genome everyday - like having wisdom teeth, appendix, and a specific type of ear muscle. What sort of event/situation could spark such a large scale change so quickly (even over hundreds of years)?
If it's an evolution thing, that suggests an in and out group. Who are the out-group and what if they're not too into the whole omegaverse thing? (again looping back to the question of betas). Is the in group then a different specie of human alltogether?
If the purpose of this is to get fertility rates up, logically it wouldn't be the first thing that occured. Polyamory would likely become more popular - especially men with multiple wives unfortunately. The human litter size might get bigger. It would become socially acceptable to have children younger - or maybe menopause would start getting later and later. Maybe both. Having children would also need to become a lot cheaper - and if your society is quasi-modern, people would likely need massive incentives if the situation really was that dire. Nobody wants to have a baby just for that baby to have to experience the end of the world.
Regardless of all these considerations above, for anyone interested in developing their own omegaverse rules - do consider a punnet square. If you don't just want to have alphas and omegas, there needs to be some combination of their genes that leads to a beta - or they'll simply cease to exist.
Fertility/population is a tricky thing to use as a fantasy mechanism because in the real world, declining birth rates can't usually be attributed to one single thing - normally it's a multitude of factors converging on one another. Of course, this is inherently a fantastical genre which gives us all the freedom to play and have a little fun making stuff up along the way.
Omegas
The internal protectors. Omegas take care of the inner problems of the pack such as (but not limited to) emotional/instinctual issues, infighting, reproduction, and monitoring pack health and mating cycles. They also make major decisions in the pups' education. Stereotyped as weak and emotional.
Defining Traits
Submissive
Vigilant
Titles
Pack Mom- oldest or chosen omega with top authority on the inner workings of the pack.
The Heart- often given to an omega in a pack where there is only one omega.
Ommy (Oh-mee or Aw-mee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Usually (but not always) paired with the omega’s name, for example, Ommy Charlie.
Betas
The collaborative protectors. Betas can assist in internal and external problems but also manage relations with other packs, delegating pack responsibilities, and pack resources. Betas have traits of alphas and omegas as well as their own characteristics, and because of this, usually pack responsibilities vary incredibly from beta to beta. Stereotyped as dull and useless.
Defining Traits
Levelheaded
Strong-willed
Titles-
Pack Link- Given to the top-ranking beta. Usually determined by dedication and attentiveness to the pack and pack issues by the pack leader. Note: Not every pack has a titled Link.
Bebby (Beh-bee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Often (but not always) paired with the beta’s name, for example, Bebby Nico.
Alphas
The external protectors. Alphas handle exterior elements the pack may face such as (but not limited to) outside threats, physical protection, and pack territory. Alphas used to be the main breadwinners of the pack, but as times have shifted, so has this responsibility, and it is now more equally shared among different dynamics. Stereotyped as aggressive and violent.
Defining Traits
Dominant
Protective
Titles
Pack Alpha: Given to the highest ranking alpha in the pack, usually determined by age or time in pack.
Sentry- A title given to the strongest and/or most trusted alphas by the pack mom or pack leader. In smaller packs, usually only one, in larger packs, up to five. Note: This title has no relevance to hierarchy.
Abby (Ah-bee)- equivalent to a parental title but used by all pups in the pack rather than just their own children. Often (but not always) paired with the alpha’s name, for example, Abby Cole.
Notes:
The title of Pack Leader can be given to any dynamic.
These are the extreme bare bones of dynamics and there will be nuances in the roles a person will have depending on the pack.
People tend not to see breasts as sexual. A bra is more like an aid that supports breasts than covering breasts.
The skin on people's neck is basically thick because of marking. Still, Betas' canines are long, so Beta's marking often cause big wounds.
Big nostrils have once been the standard for beauty, and people say that small noses look tactless.
Titles like ‘asking my alpha questions omegas want to know 🙈’ or ‘ask a beta- Q&A’
Cringy Youtube couples doing clickbaiting titles like ‘what we did what while I was in heat?? 😳’ or ‘telling my mate I don’t like his scent?? (Bad reaction)
Videos the older generation find too personal and unbecoming of the youth like ‘a tour of my nest!’ Or ‘top ten things to have in heat/rut!’
Helpful videos like ‘how to nest on a budget’, ‘things you should know before you mate’ and ‘things I wish I knew when I had pups’
Videos by the arrogant fuck boy alphas like ‘things omegas do that alphas hate’ or ‘why are omega so clingy?’ Which get clap backed with omega and beta videos like ‘reasons why we don’t want to date you’
ASMR videos for different genders like ‘sounds for soothing omegas 24 hours’ or ‘alpha calming videos’ or ‘satisfying sounds beta addition’
fandoms having complications like ‘zendaya using her alpha energy for five minutes straight’ or ‘icarly best nostalgic pack moments’
even weirder buzzfeed and buzzfeed quiz videos like ‘describe your scent in five pictures and we’ll tell you when you’ll meet your soulmate 😍’
challenge videos like ‘trying not to use my alpha voice for one whole (1) week’ or ‘swapping roles for the day’
Although Betas are thought to be the same beings as basic humans(a.k.a our universe humans, ‘US’, hereinafter referred to as b.h.), there are many diferences from b.h. because they have gone through the same evolution as other dynamics and have pack-centric lifestyle.
Betas are usually more tribalistic than other dynamics.
Betas are good at distinguishing emotions from scent, because of their tendency to be meditators.
Betas have a strong sense of scent because they often come back from a long distance from their pack.
Beta women still experience menstruation, but they have fewer menstrual volumes, cramps, and period than b.h..
Betas tend to take care of other people’s children in addition to their own, so they often adopt pups compared to other dynamics.
In addition, Betas often have pets.
Because of this tendency, Betas are more engaged in pups and pet-related businesses and occupations than Omegas, contrary to popular belief.
Betas have the longest and sharpest canine among all dynamics because universally they don’t make a mating mark.
Beta women don’t have instinct for nesting, but doctors recommend nesting when they are pregnant. In past, they usually have their pack’s Omegas’ nest, but nowdays most of them don’t have Omegas’ nest.
Betas’ ideal body type is developed slow twitch muscles and thin.
Betas are harder to build muscles than alpha, but they have a strong aspect in cardiopulmonary endurance.
Betas have a larger height difference between primary genders than other dynamics. (3~4inch, similar to b.h., other dynamics is 1~2inch)
Betas are less reproductive than other dynamics.
Betas enjoy jogging outside rather than exercising at the gym. Most people who participate in the marathon are Betas.
Beta men with Alpha were often confused with Omega. On the contrary, Beta women with Omega were often confused with Alpha.

An Akashi much like the Kagune from Tokyo Ghoul are extra appendages that are located on a persons back.
(Image from Ceru_Draws on Twitter)
A Bukishi is a tail like appendage that can be molded and shaped into anything the Alpha desires at will (spear, sword, hammer, armour, fist, shield, axe). It is a short range Akashi and is ejected at the lower back (I know it is not in the image but pretend that it is). Evolved that way in order to protect their pack. Their Akashi are the biggest, heaviest and most sturdy which is why the Alphas are as tall, big, and strong as they are. Usually are on the frontlines in battles.
A technique passed down by Alphas that uses the Akashi in 4 unique ways.
The hardest to master and after use the Alpha will be unable to use their Akashi for 24-hours. Their muscles will also be sore.
There’s a lot going on with formal packs, but hey… A finite amount of time. My last day of pack week will be just getting all the stuff I missed.
As I established in yesterday’s post, (here) Formal Packs are packs with hierarchy, legal recognition, and a bunch of advantages similar to the institution of marriage. Formal packs can be made up in many ways, from your ‘Traditional’ pack to a polyandry that will go down in history—But today we’ll be talking about traditional packs, Duel leader packs, all Beta packs, and Omega lead packs.
1. Traditional Packs
The traditional pack got it’s name by being, well… Traditional. It’s the pack set up most people would assume if you said ’I’m in a Formal Pack.’ It is the most common, though not by much.
A traditional pack consists of an Alpha leader, four Betas, and a single Omega (always mated to the Alpha)
The traditional roles in a traditional pack are of the absolute ruler in the Alpha, an Omega to make babies, and four worker drone Betas (who are probably making babies.) The omega is not actually at the bottom of the dominance hierarchy in this dynamic, though they do play a more passive role.
But packs have this common tendency not to be traditional. Here’s an example of a real (fictional) pack in action.
As you can see here, the Omega is not passive and the Betas all fill different purposes. Erica is one of the few exceptions to complete cohabitation, but this is an urban pack—You can’t get space big enough for five adults and that many kids. Even pooling your resources.
2. Duel Leader Packs
There are two sorts Duel Leader packs: symmetrical and asymmetrical. (Note that although packs do not need Alphas as leaders, I have chosen them for simplicity)
2.1— The Symmetrical Pack
The Symmetrical Duel Leader pack has two Alphas who rule equally, both mated to different Omegas who are also equal, with the same amount of Betas under them. Two Alpha packs can get quite large, but I have chosen to only include six of them. Symmetrical packs, due to the stability lended by two equal leaders, have higher chances to become legacy packs (absorbing children) than other kind of packs… If you can find two more people that naturally fall into the ‘Leading together’ dynamic: Not a common thing.
Here is a diagram for a symmetrical pack in action, ft. our friends from the Traditional Pack
2.2 Asymmetrical
An Asymmetrical pack has two leaders at unequal standing. The ‘lesser’ Alpha usually has less Betas under him and less authority than Head Alpha. They are still both mated—That’s a common trend.
Here is the asymmetrical version of Isabelle and Ryan’s pack.
As you can see here, Ryan has only two Alphas under him while Isabelle has four (though to be honest, does Gabriel even count?) Married couples are at equal standing.
I don’t know if I’m going to get the other two done tonight, because I am overextending myself, but I’ll reblog this with All Beta and Omega Lead packs as soon as I can, so check in~
Alphas usually the tallest one among other dynamics, and they enjoy being big spoons using their height.
Alphas are very aggressive, but they are also less sensitive to personal space. However, they don't allow approach to what they claim to be their own.
Alphas value exterior design more than interior one and are obsessed with the idea of having their own house. It originates from their desire to have a den.
Alphas are very creative. That's why there's a saying 'Betas discover, Alphas invent'.
Young Alphas' desire for exploration is not great, but they often follow their friends to protect them, Betas and Omegas.
Alphas' ideal body type is tall and muscular body.
Alpha women don't experience chest pain when exercising because they have small breasts and their cooper ligaments are more developed than other dynamics, so their breasts are not easily shaken.
Alphas' canine is very smooth. It is more for making marks than for offensive use.
Most of Gym users are Alphas. They like to show off their bodies while exercising and often enjoy taking off their top.
Alphas' sense of smell is good at smelling threat, fear, and pain, so they are good at finding injured people at the disaster site.

! Warning, following post may have offensive content to some audiences so exercise caution!
I have been inspired of pack-the-pack's post about curse words in omegaverse so i decided to do my own with some revision and additions. Some words may be directly linked to the post but i will also add my own and diferently interpret others.
The following will have insults, curses,vulgar phrases, slurs and profanities.
Knothead -A person person, typically an alpha, who acts like an asshole. It can also be used for a person who think with their dick first instead of head.
ex. Sleeping around like he does requires a impossible levels of ego.Geez what a knothead
Heatstall- Slur made to diminish an Alpha sexually and socially. A heatstall is a person who is so poor at bed that they have a power to stop person's heat . It can also be used for peson who is unatracctive because of their looks and/or behaviour.
ex. it really is a shame that he turned out to be a total heatstall, the way he treats staff is unacceptable!
Loose Tie- it means that their knot is not enough to keep person attached enough to them. Loose tie is a way to tell a person that they cannot secure any close interpersonal relationships.
ex. Being a loose tie that he is, it doesn't suprise me that she left him
Knotless- It is used to describe a person who does not follow through with their plans or words. Can also be used towards a cowardly person.
ex. You Knotless bastard! You promised to be here for me at the gathering but as always you left me alone with these wolves!
Stray Dog - describes an alpha who notoriously sleeps around with omegas and female betas.
ex. Listen to me, that stray dog isn't worth it. He'll just take what he wants and leave you when he's satisfied
Cat-pole - Designed to demean Alpha females sexually and socially. It’s a way to mock a female Alpha’s “retractable anatomy” which evokes thoughts of a cat’s claws; also doubles as being an offensive more “subtle” replacement for “pussy-dick”.
Ex. Why should we listen to a cat-pole like you? We've got enough alphas to steer the wheel.
Bitch- can be used as a regular insult or a slur. It comes from a fairy-tale notion that alpha who recieves penetration will turn into an omega. Bitch can be used as a slur to alpha who engages in such acts or can be an insult that implies that an alpha lacks a spine, sucking up to other and being metaphorically ,,fucked'' by them in turn.
ex. Grow a spine and stop acting like a bitch!
Tail-chaser- resembling a dog chasing its own tails, the insult implies that the alpha who chases after a person for sexual favours without success
ex. She's been tail-chasing him for the whole night without response it becomes almost sad.
Runt - Meant to diminish alpha's strength and position in pack. It means being the weak, incapable or pack reject.
Ex. Little runts like you should not be hanging 'round those parts of the city.
Lone wolf - an alpha who was left by their partner or kicked out of their pack. It generally is used towards rejects.
Ex. A lone wolf like you has no say in it!
Stump- designed to insult and diminish Male beta's sexual prowess as they do not have as powerfull appendage compared to their alpha counterparts.
ex. Why should i settle down for a stump?
Knotless- when directed at betas it is used as a demeaning connotation of a beta anatomy
Ex.Are you sure you want to settle with a knotless guy?
Left-over - It is used as an insult to insinuate that the beta will never be the first choice when it comes to dating.
ex.You can try as much as you want but you will always be a left-over.
Tatty - used to demean Beta females implying that their wombs are not as skillful as omega ones because they are a beta. A tattered womb.
Ex. I cannot you settled for her tatty ass instead of me!
Crummy- the same meaning as Tatty.
Beta tester- designed to deman beta sexualy and socially. That they are only a ,,test'' before person enters a real relationship.
Ex. You are nothing but a beta-tester. Do not have high hopes that your relationship will last.
Puppymill - used as an insult to omega, insinuating that their only purpose in life is to have children
Ex. Do not get lavish ideas omega, you are nothing but a puppymill
Bitch- i think the name serves for itself
Knot-hole- similiar to puppy mill but also lowers the omega to status of a sex toys, where they are only holes used for fucking.
Puppy-pooper- Directed towards male omegas. Comes from ignorant and incorrect belief of what the targets anatomy looks like. People ignorant of this think that the place where male omegas birth their children and defecate are one and the same. It is used to diminish the omega's ability of having children and establish their childrens' ,,dirtiness".
Ex. Why would you willingly tie yourself down to a puppy-pooper?!
Stud- directed at domineering omegas. It can also be used towards abusive women who try to control every situation available.
Ex. A stud like her will never have a chance at finding a partner
Knot tease- the same meaning as cock tease
Knot dropper- describes an omega who is so loose that their hole cannot hold the alpha's knot anymore. Comparable to being called a whore or a slut.
ex. Do you try to win a knot dropper title by the way you sleep around?!
Tail tease- the same meaning as Knot tease
Tight-fit - Used towards omegas who were brought up strictlty and thus are much more traditional mindset in courtship and lifestyle.
Ex. A tight-fit like her may be more trouble than it's worth, you don't want to die of boredom after all
Scent-deaf - refers to a person without a tact; someone cannot for their life read social cues.
ex. Why the fuck did you say that, are you scent-deaf?
Knotsucker- same as cocksucker
Knotlicker- generally it means slut or whore, but can also be used towards a person who is a bootlicker while also expecting some sort of reward for it.
ex.Im outta here, this whole room is full of knotlickers
Overbred- same as knotdropper.
Tail twister- A cowardly person who will be first to give up.
ex. This ride is not for a tail twister like you
Glandless- same as Scent deaf
Neck-sniffer - A pervert; sleazy person

Okay so you know how people are always asking how Omegas nest in countries were it’s hotter? Okay, so I came up with an idea, and I don’t really know how realistic or doable it actually is, BUT I think it’s not so ludicrous that it cannot be achieved under any circuntances. So what I suggest is: Wicker cages/domes.
Now I know I’m far from a good artist, but I think you can get the general idea, right? It’s a dome woven out of hay, wood strips, straw, etc. And it’s woven in a way that has these gaps between the rows, thus allowing for the air to get in and out, this way it doesn’t overheat.
I’m not a great physics student either so idk if it would actually work or not, and I don’t know if one could reasonably carry it around with ease, but I’ll assume it’s not that heavy. So like, plus side is that you can move it indoors or outdoors. Down side, it may not be as private because of the gaps and all that, but hey it could be like not on the ground if you’d prefer. Like have it as a whole circle (or any other shape you’d like, really), and then have it hanging from a tree or the ceiling. Like an enourmous human nest version of those overpriced artisy lamp-thingies.
I thought it also doubled as a good cultural headcanon as well. Like different regions have different techniques and traditions on how, with what material and when to make it. Maybe it’s a family thing, maybe it’s a couting thing, maybe it’s part of a rite of passage. You can really put your own headcanons into it.
This is a good alternative that I found, but idk, give me y’alls opinions on it.
