Fireside Chat for WWW ep27 "The Agenda"

If sweet liquid is what you seek, look about you, for in this episode of hit, private, podcast Fireside Chats, the cast of Worlds Beyond Number gather to discuss the episode (as they literally always do without exception) and something called the Omegaverse, which I think means "last verse." My favorite last verse is from Will.i.am in "My Humps" by the Black Eyed Peas:

And mix your milk with my Coco Puffs

Milky, milky coco

Mix your milk with my coco puffs

Milky, milky right

Anyway, enjoy the show!

Ok, I think I understand why we started talking about Omegaverse, I’m just confused as to why it needed to be such a comprehensive tutorial 😅😂😂😂

Sorry, did Brennan fumble a MILF?

Thinking of the conclave being held at Grandmother Wren’s cottage and the witches have to room together and eat breakfast at a little table Mirara on a top bunk and while sleeping one of her weird long arms hangs down in front of Indri’s face

was this the first ep w an intentional horner corner segment? did yall open horner corner with OMEGAVERSE?!? in all fairness to the poor lads, you've GOTTA ease them into the horrors of horny internet stuff (or this is the big shock dose that'll give them resistance to future psychic damage 😭)

I could have genuinely lived the rest of my life not knowing about the Omegaverse and it would have been a good life. Now, my life is ruined.

Natecharodon · October 28, 2025

I was on Tumblr back in the day. I remember ABO AU's. After this episode, I now realize I vastly underestimated how little it was about character analysis through a particular lense, and so much more just an excuse to engage with animal fetish porn. The dom/sub dynamic is one thing, but the fixation on the biology of it all makes me very uncomfortable. Especially since I know for a fact that people will write this shit about real life people.

It is so comforting to know that there are highly successful adults who exist and also enjoy making their friends listen to them explain the omegaverse

THIS OLD HOUSE IN A OMEGAVERSE CONVERSATION KNOCKED ME UNCONSCIOUS. I fucking grew up around the Silva Brothers because one of them was my grandfather’s best friend and have been to a couple of the old houses from “This Old House” and I have fully DISASSOCIATED. Left my body, gone forever

T
Trey Lord · May 28, 2025

To be clear, I was curious about Wren's predecessor and thought there was some connection between her and Ame. Successor does make more sense now :)

The Mercy Thompson Series is about a coyote shifter getting involved with a wolf pack. So yes to “were-coyotes”

Same! I think I've lost my voice. Aabria's tone when she says "jesus" destroyed me, like she's trying *so hard* to not crack up.

Reddit said y'all told Brennan and Lou about ABO so I came running. I was already a patron, or I'd have signed up on sight. Theydies, I gotta say, I loved it but that was Roughing the Listener! I hope the guys had a safeword going in. Thank God Lou wasn't there to hear it. 🤣

Leah Frey · November 13, 2024

Follow-up question: if Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, does that make Him the Omegaverse version of verse?

C
Candlelighter · November 6, 2024

Have to talk about this because I'm a out to do a Margery Kempe-inspjred watercolor project: In the middle ages, people werre actually encourage to think of Jesus as a husband and lover (stemming from Jesus framed as a groom and the church as his bride) and eroticizing Jesus was actually encouraged. And men also did this, but we're told they should picture themselves as women when envisioning that role.

When the word "omegaverse" was spoken, as a chronically online person, having to listen to Brennan and Yodah come to learn about this.... I almost actually fainted, I dropped stuff I was holding in my hands, i legitimately almost fell over, this ep is not for the faint of mind

e
elle · September 25, 2024

truly an excruciating listen as someone who's also had to explain the omegaverse to normies. usually I go for "everyone gets a fictional secondary sex" and only explain the details if I'm trying to hurt them psychologically

Oh god. My first thought during Horner Corner is that nobody who doesn’t know Omegaverse should have to know what that is

A
Alyssa Landry · July 9, 2024

😂 Brilliant episode. The Horner Corner was amazing. As someone who was also on a dark side of the Internet in the late 00s- I knew about the Omegaverse, but didn't know it came from Supernatural. Though that makes a lot of sense, given their fans. 😂

E
Eleventh Hour Panic Productions · June 27, 2024

Time for another episode of "Why Do I Know This?!" Okay, so, the whole "Jesus is hot in classical art" thing was, at least in part, because Michelangelo (I think, but it might've been another Renaissance artist) caught shit for making biblical men too hot, got salty about it, and decided to double down on the hotness, now with 150% more homoerotic undertones.

Horner Corner is so educative. Grateful we got to hear them discuss the conclave and the Indra twist before they all get smote by the big guy for the spicy Christ convo.

L
Lóre Stevens · June 3, 2024

I'm re-listening from the beginning, and having now met Mirara, it is so obvious that Emliss, the Rhuvian chalice sorcerer who attacked the gang on the boat, is using some kind of shadow entropy power! Brennan mentions the moon, rotting wood, and cold de-composition, it's so clear when you know what you're listening for! Perhaps even the Stranger, who spoils the milk in their house and brings night with him. I wonder if Mirara is involved with the war, too! I imagine that with Indri wanting only herself to exist and Mirara wanting to destroy everything, the two of them in a tenuous survivor-like alliance until they're the last two standing. Re-listening is worthwhile!!!

C
C. A. Whyse · June 4, 2024

This is fantastic insight! I am also thinking one of the Witches (possibly Mirara, but more likely Hekea) has ties to Gauthmai. Indri appears to be some sort of mastermind, but I wonder whether she has ties to a nation or idea, or if she's playing all sides. This story is so fucking cool!

I think when considering the existence of Jesus fanfic, it's incredibly important to consider Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Jesus Christ Superstar" which is probably more of an inspiration for those fics than the Bible itself.

I think the biggest compliment I can given this podcast is that it is gives the same energy of a ghibli film and allows the same magical flow of Ursala Le Guin Tales from Earth sea and yet maintains its own authentic style of storytelling. I really love it

P
Phoenix Johnstone · May 30, 2024

I took a test & I’m apparently beta. I can’t tell if I’m disappointed or relieved. But I do know that Horner Corner almost cost me a rib or two to laughter. I’ve got no background in the Wild West of tumblr, so it felt like a really weird documentary.

I love this idea of Eursolon taking guardianship so seriously he just makes these big bold moves and sometimes they work sometimes they don't. Big game happenings or big comedy happenings, it's win win. edit: Also what are the chances the Wren Ame curse was done by one of the coven?

improbable-nox · May 29, 2024

Hey, Lou, I am so sorry to do this to you but Jesus erotica has existed since the middle ages. I'm doing a PhD in medieval mystical literature & I am here to tell you that a significant number of those texts often include erotic fantasies about Christ (and sometimes a feminine version of Christ and sometimes mary). Horny for Christ is a historic literary genre.

Oh wow. I’ve absolutely died and found my people in Aabria and Erika. Walking around with so much weird stuff in my head to traumatize people for a lifetime. It’s telling that it’s far more weird to me that they have never heard anything about omega verse before now.

P
Peter Crowell · May 29, 2024

I started the episode wondering if it was going to be a relevant one or a funny one. By the time it got to the Jesus fanfic I no longer cared and was just enjoying the ride. For the record, I enjoy both but maybe they need a Dani Carr type who just can do actually commentary on the episodes.

Astrid Freyjadottir · May 29, 2024

Hearing the Omegaverse described without referencing it's eventual furry context is honestly really strange. The knots do in fact become literal in time. I feel obligated to note that I am not myself a furry or Omegaverse enjoyer, but rather one who tasked with recording the history of Internet culture... Especially porn... Unfortunately...

Bless Aabria and Erika for the horn corn. I laughed/wheezed/yelped so loudly. Thank u for ur service. Oddly enough it was the incredulity at people being horny for Jesus that did me in. XDDD Side note for people new to the omega verse. If using the A/B/O styling for alpha/beta/omega, it's become more common to use the slashes given fandom's international nature and that sans slashes it reads as a slur in some regions.

Bee · May 29, 2024

I checked all the comments to see if anyone said anything about the question Brennan had about the omegaverse coming from any specific IP. Everything Erika said was correct- but technically it originally came from Supernatural fandom taking inspiration from the tv show Dark Angel- a show which Jensen Ackles also stared in- where the main characters had some cat dna that had a side effect of the characters going into heat.

B
Bee · May 29, 2024

As other people have mentioned, this kind of trope does have roots in star trek with pon farr as well but the reason it’s attributed to supernatural is the Jensen Ackles connection!!! I’m so sorry to tell you this

S
Sarah Hoffman · May 29, 2024

Bladeless Knife Productions · May 29, 2024

Fun fact about platonic relationships and Horner Corner, starting out wrestling dovetails with both. The philosopher Aristocles is better known as Plato because he was a famous wrestler of his day and that was his moniker. It would be like Dwayne Johnson writing a treatise on government and 2000 years later everyone still calls him the Rock.

Not sure if you read paranormal romance, but knotting is an old standard of paranormal (particularly shifter romances) -- I would consider that aspect overlapping but separate from the omegaverse.

As a long long long time fanfic connoisseur, since the days of the webrings, Aabria and Erika are the only people i trust to talk about fic tropes online without making me wilt and cringe. I'm in TEARS, thank you

So about the whole Genesis of omega verse, it's not just Superwholock. It's superwhoolock plus the fact that teen Wolf was blowing up at the exact same time, and some "brilliant motherfucker" decided that teen werewolves and implied but never fully realized weird sexual/genetic mechanics of that show would go ~really great with superwholock. Truly a butterfly wing flap of one of the most unhinged fandoms ever and an MTV reboot that know one truly asked for.

I loved listening to Erika and Aabria’s episode of Smarty Pants weird how it premiered here first.

Patrick Ley · May 28, 2024

“Do you think they have were-coyotes, and are they sadder” Me: well White Wolf’s (Classic) World of Darkness did have Were-coyotes, Werebears, werecats (several big cat species), wereravens, werespiders, were-crocodillians, were-sharks, were-hyenas, were-rats, were-foxes and maybe even more I can’t remember in addition to werewolves. None of them transmitted their status by biting, humans or animals inherited “Fera” status from biological parents. Is it sadder? Well a bunch of the types were victims of (incomplete) genocides by werewolves who are themselves dying out as victims of environmental degradation/victory of their enemies.

Oh no, I know the dark magic of A\B\O but why was I listening to it at 5am EST? Poor boys. I absolutely love Eurselon, man(?) of action. What if I jumped in the ocean? What if I got on this horse? What if I threw a scarf out the window? I got absolute "I am trying to kill you energy" from the wolf man tussle myself, though as we heard, YMMV.

Didn't A/B/O start as a star trek fanfic??? The the concept was woven into other fandoms???

B
Bee · May 29, 2024

There’s definitely similarities but A/B/O originated in the supernatural fandom- they took inspiration from the show Dark Angel (which Jensen Ackles was also in) where the characters had cat dna and went into heat. Tada

T
The Overthinker · May 28, 2024

While I do not partake of the Omegaverse, I’m actually really glad this happened. We should all see the messed up creations in the depths of the internet where light does not reach.

Ciaran C · May 28, 2024

We can't forget that the roots of Omegaverse harken all the way back to the pon farr fics of the Original Star Trek fandom! True fandom history.

Carrie Mook Bridgman · May 28, 2024

Well, this time the bit only took up half the episode, so that's progress, I guess. Nothing wrong with a good bit, but the fun part for me is things like Aabria explaining just how incredibly difficult that scene was between Brennan and Erika and how incredibly well they pulled it off.

B

Brennan singing “Carry On Wayward Son” to close out the Omegaverse Horner Corner was shockingly poignant. Some of us never escape SPN hell 🫡

Morgana Evenstar · May 28, 2024

I for one fully thought Brennan had been teasing lore about ghe witch who taught Grandma's Wren (that's how good y'all are, even minor mistakes read as further depth and richness) so I appreciate the clean-up moment 🩷

A
Andrew Garcia · May 28, 2024

Okay, I’m not a prude by any means, but I really did not need to hear any of this omega-verse stuff. I hope this “corner” bit/stuff gets its own show because it’s definitely funny but not what I want to hear specifically for the Fire side chat. I really wanted to hear about the episode’s content, other world building, and questions about the characters.

xatlern · May 28, 2024

What wild timing for this horner corner, because just yesterday the new episode of mbmbam had a bit with a wikiHow about "what type of guy are you?" with 7 different categories and the brothers clearly had no knowledge of the omegaverse as they're reading and discussing 'oh am I maybe an omega?" and I was dying listening to it. I know that Griffin listens to WBN but I don't know if he's over here on the fireside, but I'm imagining them listening to this bit after having done that wikiHow and it's killing me.

The Wizard Savour · May 28, 2024

Question: Grandma Wren gave Ame the oppurtunity to not take up the mantle of witch of the world's heart and she said that she'd accept that all the same. But when one of the other witch's apprentices didn't follow in her path that was a betrayal. Is Wren's kindness to Ame exclusive to Wren? Or are there times when other witches would be ok with an apprentice not following them?

L
Lojaan · May 31, 2024

Well, that other apprentice did also murder their master so. Could have been a few things going on. But srsly, the betrayal (from memory) was about that apprentice not telling the witch that they weren't going to take up the mantle until the last moment so she didn't have time to find another one. That was the betrayal. And the whole murder thing. Probably a bit of both.

I

Jon the Bookhoarder · May 28, 2024

Not me hearing “omegaverse”, looking at the timeline (15 minutes in) and at how much time is left (50 minutes) and thinking “dear gods above and below there’s not enough time for this subject AND talking about the episode”. Internal Screaming ensues as I walk into work

G
Glen Petrofski · May 28, 2024

Talk about the range of emotions! Starting giggling that they forgot the term for seeded mustard, cringing at the Omegavarse (which I thought was completely different), to feeling sad for Eursulon and that perhaps being the first time since being shadowed that he has been able to play like that.

A
Amaya · May 28, 2024

Trigger Warning: Major Character Death (Jesus) made me snort my tea and immediately burn myself It's also unendingly hilarious to hear Brennan and Yodah learn about things in Horner Corner because it didn't occur to me that not everyone in fandom spaces knowns about the trenches of fandoms. I, an asexual, ended up down many rabbit holes out of sheer academic curiosity

C
Cody Zimmer · May 28, 2024

Oh god (not sexual). I already knew about omegaverse. I just didn't know it was called that, because I'm a good kid who cringed myself to death as soon as I read a couple of paragraphs of one story.

JoelleDFTBA · May 28, 2024

"I also watched the ending of Hamilton" lollllll it's generally worth noting that Omegaverse is mostly a way to think about gender and roles (including sexual roles) with a degree of separation. It is fascinating sometimes

L
Lucas Shen · May 28, 2024

To go against the grain and speak not of the true purpose of the show in Horner Corner, Brennan's correction of "predecessor" to "successor" is a big clarification for me. When I heard it, it implied that Ren was not the first Witch of the World's Heart, and it was her mentor that started the process of caring and uniting the world, Ren took that even further, and now Ame is continuing that and the rest of the coven were done with that "experiment". With "successor" it almost feels more dismissive, like nipping something in the bud before it gets further.

G
Glen Petrofski · May 28, 2024

I thought there was other witches of the world heart prior to Ren.
