He is not beautifully broken or kinder because of trauma but angry at the world and at himself and bitter and resentful and refuses to let go.

Of course, of course. Gonna tag @betasverse here so she can add in some other cute headcanons.

I have a bunch of these kinds of headcanons sprinkled throughout my blog too, btw.

- alpha always gushing about their mate, literally whenever they meet someone new they point to their beta and are just like “that’s my mate right there”

- alpha doing everything and anything for their mate, making sure that they feel good about everything 

- holidays like Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Hanukah, etc, they dedicate it to spoiling their beta 

- alpha writing little cute post-it notes wherever the beta will look, toilet lid, wallet, medicine cabinet 

- a date night with the alpha learns a new dish for the beta to try or them making their favorite 

- alpha planning a fancy date night where the they and their beta mate have to get all dressed up to go out to a fancy restaurant 

- going out with their friends, the alpha automatically regrets it and goes home immediately to hang out with their beta

- alpha doing whatever they can/want to do sexually by the beta’s request 

- alpha throwing an appreciation party for their beta with friends and family

- on beta day the alpha essentially takes the day to worship their mate 

- when the beta is at work, sometimes the alpha comes in and acts like they don’t know who their mate is and acts all flirty like a cute dope 

- interacting with their friends the alpha gets drunk and just goes on and on about how lucky that they are to have their beta mate 

- someone trying to say that an alpha should only be mated to omega, they immediately shut that person down and tell them about themselves 

- the alpha/beta couple get into an argument and the alpha expresses that they love their mate no matter what and they apologize or accept the apology 

- betas don’t tend to nest, but they only begin to because their alphas do it so much for them to feel loved and comfortable

- the alpha makes a scrapbook of just everything that they and their beta does together 

- a beta’s bonding mark never lasts for long because they do not have strong scent glands, but that doesn’t stop their alpha from constantly giving them a bond bite to show just how much they love them

- alpha proposing to their beta because if they can’t physically bond their beta, this is the next best thing

- alpha talking to their kids and explaining that their pups can love whoever they want and talk about how much they love their mate not caring that they are beta 

- alpha getting custom matching necklaces to make up for the lack of a bond bite

World building Idea: Berlon’s Heat houses

The Heat houses in Berlon have a long history ever since the first American settlers arrived at Berlon Bay, located at the North-West coast, in 1834. The first establishment, Grafton House, was meant to be a safe haven for Omegas without a mate to help them through their most vulnerable time with trustworthy Madames watching over the heat stricken girls and women for a little fee.

First the Heat house was only open to single (too young) or widowed Omegas, but after almost a century of this strict policy the Madames also allowed mates to spend this intimate time in one of the small, cozy rooms that provided them with the privacy and comfort they needed.

The rooms, similar to very small hotel rooms, offer a nesting base, an array of different nesting materials for the Omega to pick from, and, for a higher price, also an offer of food and drinks if the Omega or the couple wouldn’t want to bring it themselves.

Since the sexual revolution in the late 1960’s, Heat houses are also welcoming unmarried couples. Nowadays the rooms vary in size and features. Bathrooms were added as soon as home water supply was made available to the public. The cheapest Heat house rooms still offer a nesting base, nesting material, a small bathroom with a shower, while the more expensive ones also incorporate a TV, small kitchenette, and a bathtub big enough for two.

Popular extra services include for example professional massages to help with the sore muscles after the heat is over, or an extended cool-down period during which the used nesting material will be replaced with fresh one while the Omega can pamper herself of enjoy the aftercare provided by her partner.

Today there are three Heat houses in Berlon, the only ones in the world. The Morgan House in Morgan Ave. 4048, Potosia; Grafton House 1843 in Tillman Square/Frost Street, Grafton; and Fern HH in Clayton Street 5466, Truine.

Author’s note: Berlon is a new city I’m working on. This is part of the world building for new projects that have nothing to do with Flint or the “Living and Breathing in Flint series”. In fact, it is a whole different universe in the A/B/O genre.

Potosia, Grafton and Truine are three of the 14 boroughs in Berlon. I even drew a map the other day…

I hope you enjoyed this little snippet. I know I haven’t been uploading anything for the last couple of months, but as you can see, I am still writing and world building. 

Anyways, now I'm imagining an AU where the only a/b/o trope you use is the scenting and none of the designations or the werewolf biology. (So technically it's not an omegaverse AU anymore , just an AU where humans have advanced noses, but whatever.)

If humans ended up developing chemoperception that is just as nuanced and sophisticated (and maybe even more complex than) our visual perception, then that would definitely end up shaping our sociocultural evolution.

There should be museums that not only host the visual and auditory arts, but the "aromatic arts" as well. Chemists and perfumologists would have careers as aromatic artists. Museums would have "chemical reconstructions" of what certain historical figures or events would have smelled like.

And since the nose and the tongue are interrelated in our chemoperception, I would imagine that aroma museums would always have restaurants attached to them, and aroma exhibits would have accompanying menus where the flavor profiles would complement the aromatic arts. Food and aroma science can be lumped into an umbrella category of "the chemical arts."

If you're wondering why humans would end up evolving such a complicated chemoperception, then one hypothetical answer would be that our hominid ancestors could have lived in tumultuous times where an advanced chemoperception would have ensured the species' survival.

- Maybe it was an era of active volcanic activity, and sensitivity to chemicals in food and water was necessary for survival.

- Maybe the fungal, microbial, or plant life of the time was extremely hostile to mammalian life, so we had to evolve advanced chemoperception.

- If we accept the conjecture that cooking food, the dawn of our culinary history, was a pivotal step in our higher cerebral evolution, then an advanced chemoperception amidst a dangerous chemical environment would definitely be evolutionarily advantageous.

there is so much more that can be done with this concept than what gets done most of the time with it.

- quarantine islands similar to the plague islands of the last century would be created by puritanical cultures and would evolve into refuges. alphas would be shot on sight.

- human trafficking would thrive on omegas sold into sex slavery

- entire unecessary beauty and grooming trends would evolved based on selling the illusion to omegas that they could control who is attracted to them and who isn't by altering their appearances. of course they would be extremely expensive, and become something mandatory in order for an omega to even be considered for a career, despite the fact that omegas are paid less for the same work that a beta or alpha does.

- red tent cultures

- underground omega bars similar to the Stonewall of the early 20th century- constantly on the verge of being shut down by the police they constantly have to bribe.

- j. edgar Hoover style closet cases

- disphoria and surgical/pill based solutions to it for As, Os AND Bs.

- constant legal battles about the legal consent regarding heat-triggered rape. " he was asking for it, he shouldn't have left the house smelling like that" vs "consent isn't possible under the influence of heat"

- phone order beta services for both alphas and omegas that are covered by health insurance for alphas but not omegas.

- medication and cultural behavior rules for omegas, but none for alphas.

- alphas who dont want to be partnered because they know it will hinder their about to be seen as anything viable professionally. no omega comes out of anywhere to change anything for then because that's actually genuinely what they want

- alchohol/pill addicted omegas who lean on legal speed and extreme eating disorders in order to feel like they have some kind of control over their own bodies and lives, as everyone seems to take for granted that all an omega could possibly want is to get laid and make babies

- harems. the real kind, with politics and backstabbing and child murder, not pillow fights and cupcakes

- omega rights to health care constantly under threat. some international organizations provide floating healthcare facilities that are free of any one countries legal restrictions because they hang out in international waters.

- vulnerable omegas are statistically murdered far more than alphas and betas

- puritanical societies. purity rings for omega boys, families that refuse their omegas medical solutions and insist that they pray their way out of heat instead. parents that refuse their omega kids college tuition if they have sex outside of marriage.

- free love communes. most of disintegrate after ten years, but one or two turn into Oneida-style capitalism success stories.

- omega monasteries for men who choose not to participate in traditional omega lifestyles. they probably make a living delivering babies or making beer or something. they're real sick of the 'pregnant monk' costumes that show up on Halloween

- an experienced and qualified omega political candidates are never elected because damnit, ita just tnot in their nature to be leaders!

- omegas and alphas who pair off with something other than their 'natural' partner are considered aberrations. in some countries, murder of these people isn't even hidden that much.

- an alpha really wants an omega. the omega doesn't want him. they don't get together.

- alpha women/omega men partnerships, you cowards.

- omega rights groups. you are of course considered ugly if you go

- ACE and ARO characters

- OMEGAVERSE PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Well, generally all pups cling to both of their parents to feel safe. Parents are a safe space from which pups can learn about the world, but you are right in that omega pups do tend to cling a lot more. Omega pups need a lot more physical affection when growing up than other pups because their instincts are better soothed that way.

Omega pups tend to cling to anyone that they think is safe, but in times of danger or when facing a perceived threat, they will actually normally default to running to their omega parent. This is because, instinct wise, alphas are the front line of attack while omegas play defensive. It would be too dangerous for a pup to go with the alpha on the attack unless there’s no other choice, but omegas tended to keep the pups away from the fighting, forming a sort of last line of defence in case the alpha is incapacitated. However, pups will also respond to the way they grew up too, so if they have a very aggressive omega parent and a more passive alpha parent, they will know to go with the alpha parent while the omega fights offensively.

So, yes, omega pups do tend to be clingier, but it’s to anyone they feel is safe and or can provide them comfort and adult omegas can function just fine on their own/with their friends without having to rely on their alpha parent or alpha partner. Many omegas don’t have an alpha parent and/or don’t end up mating with an alpha, and they are totally fine.

heat: it doesn’t make either of them crazy, ok omegas feel a need to get pregnant and desire, but that doesn’t mean they’ll sit on the first dick they see.

their heat isn't something monthly, omegas or alphas. for the omegas this comes every nine months (the time of a pregnancy) and for the alphas it is every three because they have no uterus and do not need to generate anything, so biologically they can impregnate and have many kids in a short period of time.

the heat heat often aligns with long-term partners or the people they live with. for example, if you are an omega and live with another omega, you will probably have heat in the same time. if you liver with partners or have sex regularly with them, is the same logical.

Betas exist! Yes! And they are healthy and able to have children normally, but generally the betas children will be betas too and therefore most alphas do not want to breed them. Omegas generally prefer betas, something about them being kinder and warmer.

With time omegas they are managing to get jobs where most people consider "alpha work" but it is difficult. however, most omegas dominate jobs as chefs, doctors and psychologists.

generally relationships are made between alpha-omega, beta-omega or, in minority beta-alpha, not paying much attention to the secondary gender male-female, but for society relationships between two people of the same sex in both genders is wrong and “goes against nature”. in my mind this is homophobia, let people be fucking free. but I wanted representation in my world so that's it.

omegas has no natural lubricant coming out of their asses, this is fucking weird. omegas men as well as women have uterus and vagina, some have dicks and others do not, why? trans people exists. if they use the ass for sex it is just for pleasure, nothing to do with procreation and children.

alphas women sometimes have a dick and sometimes not, it's fine. they have a uterus and can also carry children, their heat is interrupted for nine months and only returns three months after they stopped breastfeeding.

alphas men during pregnancy of their partners generally become extremely protective and sentimental, some of them even go into depression in cases of interrupted pregnancies or when the omega don't wants him as mate, some of them goes feral, but they can't hurt omegas during pregnancy or when the omegas lost their children, if an alpha does this it is considered against nature and a "monstrosity".

when a beta child happens to be born to an alpha-omega couple it is rare, but it is usually taken for adoption. betas children born to alpha-omega couples are believed to be unlucky, especially if is the first-born.

Of course hunny. Please understand that everyone has different rules of how their universe works, so these are just my personal beliefs. 

What if in society taking suppressants is the norm, so people can be "functioning, productive members of society" 24/7. The decision to not take them is highly frowned upon, because it makes it look like you're entitled or lazy or irrational.

Only certain types of people often have heats. Religious nuts who think God hates suppressants and and Sex workers who use it as a selling point. Neither of which someone wants to be compared to.

Omegas are shamed into taking their suppressants because "it's what civilized people do" and "you wouldn't want other people to think you're offering yourself to whomever passed you on the street".

Heats are things for honeymoons and people trying to have a baby. No "decent" person would have them for fun or without the intention of having children as a result.

But alas, there are groups of people that advocate for free heats. People that believe that heats are a normal part of an Omega's life and that it shouldn't be shamed or seen as something indecent, such as the equivalent of feminists in a/b/o, wiccans, all natural nuts, health nuts who believe having suppressants is bad for you. So you know, a mixed bag of good and bad arguments which doesn't help the cause all that much.

So heats are still a hot topic in these societies. Celebrities that have heats are always a topic in media, laws for labour protection regarding paid heats or less endangerment on losing jobs for those who have heats/ruts are always in debate, schools battling religious parents in one end, conservative parents in another and progressive parents in another end, having to manage these and still give good health and sex education to its teens. Etc.

Fact 71: Alpha/Beta pairings are discouraged because, again, they’re compared to the iconic alpha/omega template then seen as unuseful because it ‘wastes a good alpha on a beta’.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with this; men of color in particular are targeted for being men along with their race, and I wouldn't disqualify that from being counted as "oppression due to gender".

Similarly, cis men are still required to act within certain bounds in order to be given the privileges that manhood promises. GNC men are oppressed for failing to be men the "right" way, fat and disabled men experience the same, and so do gay and otherwise queer men!

The patriarchy's goal is not to reward men for being men and punish women for being women; its goal is to control the populace. Cis men and cis women are controlled via the patriarchy, and that control comes in the form of oppression and marginalization.

It's definitely different for cis men, though; I think what we see is more often that the rewards cis women receive for adhering to gender roles do not afford them social power over their cis male counterparts, whereas the rewards cis men receive can and do.
