He’s been called mom for years it’s nothing new

It’s been long since I’ve read their story but ig I don’t remember them calling him that. But is it not a gay relationship? Does this only happen in omega verse?

Not in every omegaverse, in some they are both called "dads". In this one specifically they are called "mom" and "dad".

I don't think it's an issue. It's just a label. Nonbinary parents aren't called parents by their kid or by their names, I mean, some might, but most are still called mom/dad. It's easier and comforting. Just a title lol.

In this omega vers they call the ppl who give birth mom and the other dad. You can see this in the third side story where chowons parents are a woman and man but the woman is called dad and man is his mom.

Oh I see. As a gay man, it can feel a bit weird when ppl label a bottom in a gay relationship with a female term. Ig that’s why I was weirded out at first but that makes sense.

It's alright! It's different and strange at first but it is what it is, haha! This is just how things are in this story and mamy other omegaverses. I don't know any IRL queer couples that are gay or lesbian with kids that call one of the moms/dads their opposite title...but there might be! Who knows!
╮(￣▽￣)╭ so it'd understandable that you're a bit confused. Although, at the end of the day, this is a fictional story and they are all titles/lables. Some kids call their parents by their names while some parents never call their kids by their names, instead, they use nicknames. Everyone is different!

Gay relationship or not, the person byul calls mom went through pregnancy and gave birth to him which makes him by definition his biological mother.

every update this gets asked ☠ a man can be a mom guys it's not that insane to grasp

THIS!! Also it's omegaverse which means that they live in a world where it's always been normal for men to be able to give birth and for women to be able to impregnate someone so it only makes sense that in their world "mom"and "dad" aren't gendered terms but instead just purely refer to their role in reproduction/parenthood.

Expecting omegaverse characters to view "mom" and "dad" as gendered words is like expecting people living in medieval times to know what the internet is.

Ain’t that serious my god go outside

That’s a good point, but my discomfort comes from how those terms are seen in real life. Words like ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ are tied to gender roles, and using them in gay relationships..especially based on who’s seen as ‘dominant’ or ‘submissive’ or who gives birth(?) can reinforce stereotypes. Even if it makes sense in their world, it still feels off from a real world perspective. But I know it’s not a big issue bc he’s a cis man that literally gave birth lol, I guess terms don’t matter here.

In all honesty; if it makes you uncomfortable then I'd suggest to stay away from mpreg stories, especially omegaverse ones and instead get happy gay family time from stories with adopted children (or where the gay couple gets their child through artificial fertilization which sadly is extremely rare in fiction).

I know trans men who proudly call themselves their child's mother bc they were the ones who went through the pregnancy and gave birth, I also met trans men who want to be called "dad" instead of "mom" bc dysphoria. Even in irl situations where a lot of people view "mother" and "father" as heavily gendered and where pregnant men are more of a new phenomena; it all boils down to the individuals preference and emotions whether he'd be called "mom" or "dad".

In a fictional world where it's always been perfectly normal for cis men to go through pregnancy and give birth the dysphoria factor around this would also be so significantly reduced that it would simply make no sense for "mother" or "mom" to be gendered terms.

In omegaverse particularly you also have the additional situation where male omegas and female alphas are, from a biological POV, actually a specific type of intersex and are socially viewed more as something in between male and female. Omegas and alphas are completely fictional genders with bodies that work completely different from ours so showing irl gender norms/binary on them makes no sense and is a little unfair especially since there's a lot of omegaverse out there who use the omegaverse mechanics sometimes get used to portray or tackle irl topics in a more abstract way.

The first omegaverse story I've read used the omegaverse lore to criticise sexism and gender roles in a way that avoids the audience being biased.

One of the omegaverse stories I'm currently reading uses the omegaverse mechanics to tackle on topics such as domestic abuse and trauma.

These completely fictional genders have their place in fiction but it only works as long as we allow them to be purely fictional genders. Think about how in medieval times stories used animals instead of people to be able to criticise the royalty/gov/society in s way that they'd actually reach people. Omegaverse can be used in a similar way. (And to all those pointing at the purely fetish omegaverse content; I present to y'all furry porn...idk how long furry porn has been existing for but my point is that the same story telling tool being used for deep valuable fiction and for vile fetish content isn't anything new lol)

If it is of any help for you I'd suggest viewing male omegas and female alphas as non-binary people when reading omegaverse bc non-binary is the closest irl equivalent they have. Male omegas don't have a more feminine gender role bc "submissive gay" they have a more feminine role because their gender is something between male and female that doesn't fit into our irl gender binary.

i could say this exact thing about ur original comment... GO OUTSIDE!!! IT AINT THAT SERIOUS!! MEN CAN BE MOMS!! pls grow up

Dawg if an online question bothered you that much when you could’ve just ignored it, maybe it’s time to cut back on being so chronically online my god

I remembered the thing, I forgot what's it called and I'm too lazy to change tab and search lol... u know, like in umbrella academy (the series in Netflix) where the time goes like linear or in a line, not a loop that goes in cycle, like what you changed in the past will change your future like in interstellar movie kinda thing.

In the linear way, they say that if you come back to past to change something, like you don't wanna live in the future or whatever so you make your parents not meet each other, but then, there will be NO FUTURE YOU doing that action; no you going back to the past from the future to change it. Do you get it?

Sooo, if there's no you, then there's nobody doing that action you change, it's kinda not concrete explanation of time travel or maybe I just forgot the whole thing since I watched the show like 2 years ago, and my memory's not really reliable... lol.

Anyway, why am I even explaining this TT??? It just came to mind, I guess. Still, the concept has a lot of holes, and I will watch that part again to see if they really explained it well. If not, then, meh, I just find it fascinating HAHA

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I see what you mean though. It’s definitely a fascinating concept LOL.
Although, for this particular story, I’m curious about what route the author is taking. Is it time travel, or is it more about creating a new timeline where he starts over? That part confuses me a little, but I still stand by my concern about how the original timeline is affected or not at all because he would probably be dead. Even if he starts over in a new timeline, he’s still gone in the original one. That loss makes me sad haha. I wonder if anyone else thinks about it this way, too. It’s such an emotional and complex idea:’)

What actually happened in another manga (BL that I don't really remember) is that it was explained that he traveled between dimensions, so it makes more sense for that to happen since in different dimensions there are different timeliness.
I try not to think too deep because we'll it sad to imagine that he still died in another timeliness and left Pado alone in the other one. But it would kind of explain why he thinks he didn't do anything to Pado and Pado remembers him pushing Pado away. Or it could be time travel in which case those days never happened but a ripple effect distorted everything and things happened differently.

i don’t think it got to that point fortunately bc the red haired guy came at the right time and hopefully it does not go that route

he forced himself on him. it was most definitely rape

Yeahhh…I just saw the update… well on to the next story

@siiiiita_arts is the their twitter :)

I love you
