I see a lot of ABO stuff here, and I love it! But I know different authors play by different rules for ABO, so what is it like in your universe? What are your ideas/thoughts for your verse?

Man, okay, so before I say anything, (more of my lore, yay guys) I got started with ABO in the SPN fandom. Specifically? I got started out roleplaying ABO in the SPN fandom. (I really should get back into roleplay, I miss it tbh). And this was... 8? I think? years ago. And honestly? Honestly? It's been an excuse for me to recreate dynamics that wouldn't work with gay couples. Like, Pretty Woman as a concept just wouldn't work with a mlm couple. But... add ABO onto that and... now it makes sense. I love ABO Jane Austen AUs so much

Also, my dad went to University for a religion/philosophy degree and also had a hyperfixation in Sociology, and that rubbed off on me. Seeing how our society would inherently change with these concepts of a secondary sex and what would stay the same is interesting to me.

I do have to say, my ABO falls into the more casual side? Like I see others do some hardcore like 1950s on steroids shit and I respect it but like.... Some of it is like... justified sexism? If that makes sense. Like because it's men, it's okay? I don't know.

Anyway, let me answer your actual question, now.

I personally go with the standard Alpha/Beta/Omega dynamics of Alphas were considered superior, but just like with the patriarchy, society is trying to get beyond that.

My betas aren't "normal" they have a mix of Alpha/Omega features, like heats but also knots, stuff like that.

My alpha females have knots, if I get comfortable enough, my male omegas end up also having pussies. (I don't use cunt, I'm sorry lol) I also use the concept that humans just evolved to be this way, there was no random "change" but I am willing to play around with the idea of them being suddenly transported to a universe where that is the case.

I don't really mess with traditional courting? Like, it's just dating for me. I still call it courting because I think the word is cute, but for the most part, they start the courting process with a gift, if that, and then they just go on dates and stuff.

They have weddings and they do the mating mark on their honeymoon.

I don't know why, I've seen this weird concept of "rules for having an omega" thing going around. I... I don't do that. That's extreme, I'm sorry. Like I said, I'm willing to play with concepts but my standard ABO is just... not that extreme.

Omegas fall into feminine stereotypes, alphas into masculine, and betas into androgynous. My omegas end up in skirts, but if you give me a chance, I will feminize my favorite characters just because I am hyperfeminine and I love hyperfeminine characters.

Sometimes, in "hybrid" AUs (hybrid Animal/humans) I will switch out the concept of alpha/omega for prey/predator. It follows all of the same rules. Same with animal shifter AUs.

This is all I can think of off the top of my head but if you have questions, I will answer them. I'm not an ABO expert, by any means, but I've been in this game for a while.
