The Omniverse, a hypothetical set of all possible infinite and finite universes comprises everything that exists. At the center of the Omniverse is our Real-Life Universe, where we live and go through our different lives as real-life humans. In an economic viewpoint, outside off our universe are fictional dimensions that we envisioned in our own canon. With the rise of technology boom and the internet, the fictional Omniverse keeps growing with new creations being made.

The Fictional Social Classes

1.) Official/Canon Layer: Creators of various media and pop culture such as anime, video games, live-action movies, and adaptations create fictional universes that are ‘official works’ without fan interference. As always; there are good, mediocre, and bad works. The first of these fictional works are obviously mythologies, religion, playwrights, and fairy tales by our ancestors such as Homer and Shakespeare with many interpretations of why they are ‘public domain’. You can say that Fantasy is one of the first genres before the advent of Science-Fiction at the 20th century. All of these dimensions are commercial use.

2.) Pseudo-Official/Pseudocanon Layer: The next layer of universes shows professional fans that are ‘pseudo officials’ (though official creators appreciate them to the point that they make guest roles, these are not truly official that they still don’t own the rights and doing these as non-profit (personal use), proving that these adopted creations are just as a great or even better than canon. They make money out of original stuff (commercial use), but not on copyright works.) such as Yugioh/Dragonball Z Abridged, Nostalgia Critic, Angry Video Game Nerd, Dead Fantasy (which the universe is in permanent suspended animation due to Monty Oum’s death), Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi/Grim Tales from Down Below, Super Mario Bros. Z, Dragonball AF (the universe is in permanent suspended animation due to the author now works in Shonen Jump), and Death Battle.

3.) Fandom/Personal canon Layer: Finally, there’s a third layer (the biggest out of all the three) consists of millions of fanfics, fanart, doujinshis, roleplays, original works that are not published, and others. Because of this, most of the public sees fanfics as stereotypically amateurish. Some are good and others are badly written (yes, even the dimension of My Immortal exist). Only 10% of these stories/crossovers/mega crossovers/others stand out by professional fans with respects to canon and have unique takes. It’s hard to find something good in a huge litter of amateurish works. All of these dimensions are personal use.

Actions of Real-Life Humans

-Each generation (prominently the Millennials (Generation Y)) grew up with popular culture and does things for the mood and tie-in the growing economy. Each reader/viewer/gamer have interest in different fandoms: Someone hasn’t seen an old anime in years and focus on current ‘anime season’ these days that at times it’s hard to remember that boggles in their memory as people age. Someone rewatching/rereading/replaying a certain piece(s) to visualize and getting back to a certain fandom. People do these for fun and/or a chore. People keep improving in their creativity will rise from fan amateurish to official professionalism. It is part of growing up for real-life humans and balancing online and reality. 

--In general, the whole Omniverse is every human beings’ (and other races if they exist beyond our planet) works with official, fandom, etc while our real-life universe is in the center. In individually, the ‘Omniverse’ sorta representing one creator is still a part of the multiverse in their own perspective. This is also reference in the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe: Alternate Universes of how the Omniverse is every reality.

-When a creator/author(s), particularly the fandom ones, puts a story or anything else on hold, that ‘universe’ goes suspended freeze animation, temporary or even indefinite. When a fanfic and/or other thing is cancelled without official closure, that fictional universe is permanently destroyed. When a fiction is on hiatus and/or deleted and later gets rebooted/rewritten, that universe is altered to the new setting by the writer. When a fiction does have official closure for a series finale, the creator/author’s lease is release for their creations to have freedom in shaping their own destinies. Some exceptions are official works, because when they finish airing, its finish for the official creators to release it for their fictional creations to be free vice-versa, unless the creator(s) decide to revive it. This is the truth that even though creating an official work is a tough experience, having commitment to specific fandom(s) sometimes feels slightly more restricted and honestly tougher that the person has to follow their rules (Take it that someone is not good at duels in Yugioh, so he has to ask a friend to do it for him). That is why there are people losing interest of a certain fandom (such as Naruto since it’s the most overrated anime in fanfics). Of course there are fandoms that their ‘universes/beliefs’ are ‘out of control’ such as Sonic fans, Narutards, Bleach fans, and Steven Universe.

-It is why AU universes existed. How canon characters can go OOC. Yes, there are also creations that are made by trolls, flamers and other bad people, to which real-life security has to report their harassment on social media. There is also plagiarism. It’s honestly sad to say for human beings. Not to mention there are those online users that contribute fandoms argue often in making drama and ending relationships like some officials, their not as general and worldly, it is just that they feel personal and more ugly.

-Executive Meddling can be either good, mixed, or bad in shaping any kind of fictional work for better or worse. Dragonball is a great positive example that originally in the Androids Saga, Toriyama would have only use Androids 19 and 20 as the villains till his editor convinces him to add Androids 17/18/16 and Cell (alongside his transformations) which give positive and game-changing results to viewers and fans.

The Future

-WMG: Some scientists believe the hypotheses/many scenarios of the ‘Ultimate fate of the universe’ and the ‘ends of times’. People wonder of the cycle of universes, and our real-life universe most of all will start anew, of how a chance that everything throughout history and the creators/fans’ experiences will be repeated. But, there is no real answer here because these are just guesses, and like many other topics outside of it since we are in the 21st century, scientific opinions in real-life keep changing (even back in previous centuries when religious beliefs were dominant of predictions).’

-Because one hypothesis in the far future like centuries or further, we real-life humans will eventually find technologies to travel to dimensions besides finding other life forms in space, making the imagination of learning about other universes in the nexus a reality (and why we created fiction to precede that). Even if we never get the chance since we only had ‘self-inserts’ to meet our fav things in fanworks, our later descendants/reincarnations will have the experience. Obviously, we can also mention time travel. One can imagine our descendants/reincarnations will explore the universes of pop culture such as Dragonball, Digimon, Pokemon, and Marvel Cinematic Universe.

-One of the most important terms is public domain. Fair uses come to mind (and especially the Nostalgia Critic’s WTFU video in 2016). This is why things like Myths and Fairy Tales are use freely by everyone to come up their own interpretations (except those like the Disney and Marvel interpretations since the rights remain in these companies). When specific authors like H.G. Wells and Lovecraft died, the rights are lifted that their works are now in public domain of why they are in pop culture works in the late 20th century onward. Should the estate/rights of Tolkien, George RR Martin, and JK Rowling died out in the future, then that means they’ll eventually be public domain for descendants/reincarnations of fans/people to freely use. One can imagine people use Tolkien’s Middle Earth settings that took place between the Prehistoric and human history eras. Another example in the future related to that is that whenever companies of pop culture our current generations experiences eventually died out/defunct (which there will be very sad moments in human history), then our descendants/reincarnations will use them all as public domains of things like anime, cartoons, comics, video games, music, and movies we enjoyed as the next ‘myths and fairy tales’, and for new universes based on these to be made. 

Well well, this is it, I have written a concept of the Omniverse as a way to conclude August and the end of summer before school (Though I’m no longer at school for the time being). This idea has been thought of back in 2012, but I was inexperience to collect all these notes, so I have to keep brainstorm and mature aging as well to get this right.

And here we are. This feels like a culmination of all the experiences as a fan in learning these multiverse and personal concepts I grew up with. I know a lot of things, but not everything since I am human with different tastes. To be fair, I’m not the only one that already knows this since it is obviously everyone knowing different works. I’m reminded in the Transformers wiki page of seeing their responses of canon to tie-in the three layers:

tfwiki.net/wiki/Canon

tfwiki.net/wiki/Pseudocanon

tfwiki.net/wiki/Personal_canon

Yeah, sometimes I recall I forgot some ‘things’ back then due to being busy at school work that it just feels hard. Here I am that when I upload this, sometimes I wish I can see it as a professional work to be published whenever I work in some company. Least that when I keep improving my writing skills (even though I’m not an English/Journalism majors), some wishes can happen.

Yeah, of personal stuff I’ve seen in many fandoms, both good and bad experiences even though I don’t get involve in a lot of drama. No wonder why these people created these ‘parallel universes’ base on official works.

And then there’s the future section of what’s going to happen many centuries/millennia for now, to which that will be mind blowing to say the least. A lot of us wish that the fictional stuff we enjoyed are real, and with scientists in real-life are researching other worlds, there’s a chance that our reincarnations/descendants can learn to dimension travel. Of course, our real-life species do not even know when, since in the future that we will also encounter many obvious things/events such as alien races (some people wonder if these other sentient lifeforms create their own fictional works, that’s fridge brilliance here.).

Whenever this can be updated with some more info is yet to be seen, but that’s all for now and stay frosty.
