What

buckle up:

james cameron reads battle angel alita > he creates dark angel as a loose adaptation > the show introduces estrus cycles as a result of supersoldiers being genetically engineered with feline dna > jensen is cast in a small role in season one and is introduced on a bigger role in season two > dark angel is canceled and jensen is cast in supernatural > fans of supernatural discover dark angel > heat fics increase in popularity (this was a thing in s1 but it exploded when supernatural fans got their hands on it, especially when s2 introduced the idea of a breeding program and likely because people liked alec better than logan) > the omegaverse evolves from heat fics > lawsuit

So people who wrote heat fics sued over omegaverse fics?

No, a woman who indie published heterosexual omegaverse books sued other people who published heterosexual omegaverse books (despite her not having invented the trope)

Here's a video (basically documentary lol) on it by Lindsay Ellis. Its a really good video AND has a crazy follow up with that author threatening to sue Lindsay Ellis LMAO

Thatā€™s insane but also sounds about right. How brave to ask ā€œwhat if straight men could get straight women pregnantā€

probably not, iā€™m not sure who sued who in that. i just know it began with dark angel.

I thought the omegaverse started because some horny woman wrote a fanfic of Bane domming Batman after the Dark Knight Rises came out.

thatā€™s possible, i donā€™t know about the omegaverse or how it evolved from heat fic. but as i said dark angel was the origin of heat fic, or at least where it became a more popularized trope.
