Hi, while I find your definition of the "omegaverse" to be very informative, I am well aware of the genre already…
The omegaverse trope is a lie. It divides women into two distinct groups: feminine-presenting and masculine-presenting
The "men" possessing women's ability to give birth are the masculine-presenting women. Calling them "men" demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of human anatomy
I don't care that it's fiction. The ability to become "pregnant" is an inherent characteristic of women. A "man" who becomes "pregnant" is a man-looking woman
You use language that originates from the real world to describe fictional characters not representative of real men. It opens the door to objections
I can see that the word "man" is being used as a superficial label. And I can see that the mislabeling is ruining BL/yaoi. I will take it seriously
"The purpose of storytelling is to transport the audience to a world of hope and happiness." NO. The purpose of…
The way I see it, the purpose of storytelling is to lift our spirits, and not drag us down
I'm all for a little angst and drama. But finish them off with a hearty serving of happily ever after. If I wanted to be enlightened by sadness, I would look in the mirror, or step out my front door
Thank you, I intend to enjoy every last HEA BL I can get my hands on. I'm happy Love for Love's Sake was one of them
Who knows, maybe one day I'll write my own HEA BL masterpiece!
In Omegaverse fiction, males can get pregnant. The rules can be different depending on the writer or creator and…

agreed. it will be dropping soon as more people watch the last episodes and rate it. the first four episodes,…
There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration from "straight" stories and adapting them for BL audiences. In fact, showing that the "straight" stories would have been exponentially better if they were told differently challenges homophobic social norms and broadens our understanding of relationships
The Little Mermaid? A dreamy merman should have stolen the prince's heart!
Beauty and the Beast? The story of a cursed prince finding love with a bookish male Beauty would have been a game-changer!
Harry Potter? Imagine the magic of Draco and Harry slow-dancing at the Ball, bathed in a shimmering rainbow of spells? It would have been wizarding perfection!
I could go on and on. BL can fix everything
A unique, unconventional BL premise still needs a satisfying, happy conclusion that ties up loose ends and provides closure for our male characters and the audience. A sad ending leaves me feeling unsatisfied
I disagree with the comments that claim "BL doesn't need a happy ending to be good"
BL is a romantic genre. A romantic story that culminates in a tragic conclusion is a disservice to the very essence of fiction. The purpose of storytelling is to transport the audience to a world of hope and happiness. The real world is rife with heartache and sadness already. I don't need to cry more!
I need an idealized world where love between two men conquers all and happy endings are the norm. Being happy. That's the transformative power of fiction. A sad ending betrays my trust and emotional investment in a BL story
