nah this been the abo universe. i just made a comment abt this yesterday under melting point LMAOOO what a coincidence. so what happens basically is that unmated alphas usually get a growth spurt whenever they see/get with a really compatible mate. its to show other alphas that they are better than them physically and more compatible w the mate that is causing this growth in them. they get that + update to their biological disposition. their desirable traits grow, to show that theyre the best possible option
again, this would *theoretically* be possible if it were accompanied by some changes elsewhere in the body– you can't just produce muscle out of thin air. You need more protein, more carbs, more everything. Muscles grow under stress, too, so unless this effect is produced by a hormone similar to steroids (which are known to cause mood swings and decrease sex drive), the body won't put on muscle from lifting a baby bottle
yeah logic but this is also a universe where a man get pregnant so i dont think it’s that important
there's only so much logic bending i can take. for example, there are clinical trials demonstrating that male rat sperm had been able to create a viable fetus, so the world of mpreg isn't too far off there. magic muscles with no chemical enhancers, though? at least try.
i want to preface this by saying you’re really dragging this out and looking for logic in the wrong place. how are rat fetuses make mpreg more explainable and logical than muscles without any chemical enhancers? Also, who said there were no chemical enhancers? Let’s not think of the characters as humans but just with a base understanding of animalistic a/b/o dynamics: The entirety of the a/b/o dynamics are closely correlated with pheromones in their physiology, which makes it so when a pregnant omegas pheromones affect their mate, their pheromones will naturally react to and interact with each others’. Assuming that the a/b/o pheromone structures doesn’t fundamentally change a human’s physiology, based on the idea that humans actually have pheromones and get affected by them, pheromones of a pregnant mate would affect their hormones of their counterpart. You think they can sense each other in each others’ minds but their pheromones wouldn’t be able to react to each other? Fucking please. When their pheromones interact with each other in a state of an omega’s pregnancy, the alpha’s pheromones would most likely react to their mates. This is basic natural selection. An unfit mate, in this case one which is weak, wouldn’t be able to protect their partner. Primer pheromones directly affect ones hormones, and hormonal changes directly impact muscle gain. Which are actually testosterone and human growth hormone (in males). And what is the main sex hormone in men? Fucking testosterone. This all stacks up together in a basic fucking chain. Let me simplify this:
Omega Pregnant —> Omega’s primer pheromones bc of pregnancy interact with the Alpha’s pheromones —> Alpha’s pheromones react to their mate’s pregnancy —> Alpha’s pheromones affect their hormonal balance —> Hormonal changes in alpha’s main sex hormone (testosterone) —> A spike in testosterone = A spike and smoothnes in muscle gain. —> Muscle gain from daily activities.
Hope this was helpful!
"when you fall in love with someone, your muscles get bigger'
i'm sorry, wut– who? this would result in so many other physical changes, like increased appetite, probably changes in sex drive, and most certainly in energy levels. doing weak things increases muscle strength? not even in the abo universe can i let that shit slide.
