I don't think we've had a world building thread on /u/ before, compared to other red boards, have you designed a yuri-normative setting /u/? Do share.

By yuri-normative, I mean the setting has normalised/institutionalized female homosexual relationships.

Questions to ask:

>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them? Dead? Turned gay? Etc.
>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized? What happens if a girl identifies as straight?

Distant future where IPS cells breeding became normalised and commonplace. Women gradually realised they didn't need to put up with men's bullshit to have children anymore, exposing that this was the only reason why many dated men to begin with.
Men and het relationships still exist, but are becoming rarer, and they will eventually die out altogether since fewer males are born each generation.
Younger girls just live their lives as usual paying little mind to how things have changed since they see it as old history. IPS technology itself evolved, going from a costly procedure performed at a hospital, to being compacted into simple pills, to being integrated in the body of every human female so they can turn it on and off at will if they want some baby-making sex.
It's also possible for more than two mothers to conceive a baby, and this particularly important for incestuous couples, as adding genes from a third mother nullifies the dangers of inbreeding.
One consequence of the dissapearance of heterosexuality is the blurring of the line between friendship and romance. Most girls end up giving their first time to their best friends from childhood, as the intensely intimate friendships girls are known for can now bloom into romance unobstructed.
Polyamory is also common (though "free love" is still niche, and passional crimes over jealousy and cheating still occur) and polygamy is eventually legalised. It's common for women to marry each other in groups to solidify their status as families (such as wives also marrying each other's sisters-in-law).

>Setting
Future closer to real life
>Men
Brainwashed by vidya, internet echo chambers, sex toys and porn they never leave their rooms, and the few that remain are all accountants that work remotely, everything else is automated in their lifes.
>How did lesbianism become normalized?
After the invention of IPS babies western goverments encouraged lesbians to have more babies and men usual sluttery led to a lot of bisluts to just form families with other woman. Meanwhile the BRICS, or RICS because Brazil followed a similar path than the old west, went through their SK-tier natality crisis losing what they're winning in our decade, the rest is history but capitalism killed the old male society when male consumers stopped being profitable and after the armies became dominated by woman there was no way to return to the past. In the present of this scenario reproductive kits can be found from drug stores in cities to boxes carried by poor people that resells them in their villages. Men and the old system are a thing that belongs to history books and the rest it's kind of the same but with less violent crimes in general. Also scientists are developing artificial plants that can produce the same thing as what are the reproductive kits main "ingredient" so if anything happens humanity will survive regardless.
Btw idk what will happen to things like religions or the muslim world. There are so much shit that could happen there with no males around.

>>4413441
>religions or the muslim world
Most religions would pivot to masc women being men so it'll be forcibly common place to see butch x femme relationships be the new norm. As for places like the middle east and India, they'd likely implode since their societies have large portions of it being about the control and subjugation of women

>>4413495
>implode
>now we have modern lesbian pirates in the arab and persian straits
Nice.

>>4413441
Yeah, I think this is a pretty grounded look at how a /u/ society could emerge in a relatively modern day setting. Obviously a world without men would be ideal, but without miraculous advances in technology and infrastructure (which would propel the story to soft science fiction at a minimum) it's just not feasible if you're still trying to be realistic. Having them as a subdued, placated worker bee type class is the next best thing.

>>4413623
Imo, men are just on their way out due to drastically dropping fertility rates, the minute ivg becomes marketed to straight women (because they are the ones who will be the most affected by this) it'll be ogre

The setting for the stories I will never have the drive or energy to actually write take place in a yuritopia where no males exist anywhere in the universe, all creatures are either female or genderless, the later being only for some alien races and The Enemy but they get referred to as female regardless, except for The Enemy who are Its.

For Humanity and all other Earth originating species that still exist, they live on a moon orbiting a gas giant many thousands of years in the future and have babies delivered to them by the Stork, which isn't actually a bird but something that vaguely looks like a bird mixed with a biblically accurate angel.

The Stork prefers to deliver babies to couples but will deliver to any group or even individuals who have a strong enough desire and will to raise a child. It's even possible for people to have children with the dead, so long as there was a strong enough bond while the dead person was alive.

Human culture is nice and better than what we have today because the Humans that exist are Humanity 2.0, who were genetically engineered to be approximately 15% better in every way. Boobs do not sag.
Original Humanity is fucking dead but they were all female too.

There's a lot more lore and shit that I can't be bothered to type out.

>>4413421
>Distant future where IPS cells breeding became normalised and commonplace.
it's pretty much inevitable. But in the next century we will have an city or country with only-females.

Wouldn’t femmes be discriminated in these kind of /u/topias? They’d be seen as reminders of the old school patriarchy.

>>4413691
Why? At worst femme aesthethic will become a dated fashion style before it becomes something like current gothic lolita.

>>4413691
Those styles will always exist, they obviously won't be in the service of men at that point but I doubt you can convince everyone to completely drop make up or skintight clothes all together, it'll just be much less popular or seen as a necessity in order to function in every day life

>>4413363 (OP)
>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
Asiatic Fantasy.
>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them?
Men are still around.
>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
Mostly oppressed.
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized?
About 0.7% of women manifest the ability to harness magical powers drawn from the divine feminine. This power was initially believed to simply disappear around puberty before it was realized that the powers remain permanent if the girl avoids sleeping with men.
This has led to a network of lesbian and celibate priestess covens that advise, aid and in many instances control the various cultures in the world.
>What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
There's no real concept of that. "Straight" is most closely translatable to "bad at sex" as being unable to experience or cause orgasm with another woman is perceived as a weakness even your male partner might be somewhat baffled by if he finds out.
Lesbian sex is often first experienced at temple run bathhouses where a priestess will test both your magical potential and gently introduce you to the pleasures of your own body.

>>4413691

Butches would literally be dressing up as women’s old oppressors, they’d be more liable to be discriminated against.

Only other option is, without a new paradigm, all women drift towards being Futches, which becomes the new default. Traditional butches and femmes become fringe subcultures, a mix of today’s lgbt and historical cosplayers.

Would yuri really be better if there is only women? I mean, struggle, gender norms, social interactions based on sexuality will be gone or blended. It kinda ruins a huge part of yuri. Easy to choose loving women if there is no alternative...and less meaning in this choice.

>>4413715
Yes, it would.
I'm here for lesbians who love women, I don't give a fuck about cringe social shit, that's dumb and boring as fuck.

>>4413715
That's honestly not our problem if the world comes to that. That's on the women who will inhabit the world by then. But imo, since many of women's struggles center around men's oppression it'll definitely be a better place in many regards

>>4413715
Yuri will become more vanilla yes but there'll be struggle and the social interactions based on sexuality will evolve from what we have because female sexuality will always be different from male sexuality. Gender norms can fuck themselves. Also isn't like a lot of modern yuri don't give a shit about a lot of those issues, even in bislut manga there's little to no gayngst and you can replace the guys with other woman and the plot would remain the same.

>>4413715
It's not like the struggle and social interactions will just vanish when heterosexuality goes extinct, new struggles and interactions will take their place.

>>4413720
>and you can replace the guys with other woman and the plot would remain the same
Depends on the title. AdaShima, Kitakawa, School Zone, Moon on Rainy Night, a lot of stuff really fall apart the moment you turn one of MCs into boy. It just doesn't work. But yeah, Love Bullet, Shokei Shojo and a lot if other stuff would stay mostly the same.

>>4413731
No I'm talking about things like Koinega where you can change the guy to a girl and the plot will remain the same or the infamous succubus one, that's why I said "bislut manga".

Not a whole universe, just a race of supernatural beings, but recently I came up with a yuri version of onis, which is very innacurate to actual oni lore, but I just needed any magic race and I chose the one I find the hottest. Athletic warrior women with horns.They are also considered animalistic and that helps with one of my lore points. I made this scenario to roleplay porn with AI bots.


>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
Can be in any setting, but the one I imagine is present day, but with some supernatural beings among normal humans.

>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them? Dead? Turned gay? Etc.
Yes, male onis exist, but I just never mention them. They are also outnumbered by female onis due to a point I'll address later.

>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
Oni women are as strong as the males and they are the dominant gender, usually holding leadership positions.

>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized? What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
Onis can reproduce the same way as any other mammal and have a normal menstrual cycle for most of the year, however they are also able to do parthenogenesis. It can only happen once a year, and it's accompained by a heat period. Since this heat only exists for asexual reproduction, female onis avoid males and kill any who approach them during this time (cause males are selfish and would try to do non-asexual, ruining the blood purity). Though this heat doesn't include pheromones anyway. They also get more aggressive in general due to pent up sexual frustration, but they will calm down in the presence of a woman they love or are attracted to.
(1/2)

>>4417853
For the ovulation and parthenogenesis to happen, the oni still needs to have sex and orgasm (like the mexican whiptail lizards), so they only seek other female oni or human women. Needless to say they get very horny and needy, so this is where the smut goes.
The daughter will be similar to a clone, but with some variations. Oni society sees this ability as sacred, and it's one of the reasons female onis gained societal power. This also leads to the skewed gender ratio in favor of women.
Onis will usually get married to the woman they had sex with during heat if they had a kid. There's no prejudice against the woman who only provided the orgasm, she's considered as much of a mother as her partner.
So either due to natural selection or magic, most onis are turbo lesbians.
I also have some ideas for courting rituals and culture around horns, but that's not very relevant here.

(2/2)

>>4413363 (OP)
I have a lot of yuri-dominant places/organisations in my d&d setting. Nothing really made for that purpose specifically though.
I guess one example would be my main Drow city/society
>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them? Dead? Turned gay? Etc.
Men still exist, but are declining in what little relevance they used to have in society for a variety of reasons. First of all my drow practice amform of athenian democracy, so in their cities only adult, female drow can be citizens and have political rights. Without unasked for lore dumping, the key part was drow women finding out they could dominate surface elves by using magic to impregnate their females (since canonically drow breed dominant among elves). Alongside a certain elvish demi-goddess that started advocating for this kind of "reconciliation" it made men in that part of the Underdark basically irrelevant to the drow matriarchy.
They aren't gone, but their days are basically numbered.
>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
Its the Drow. Its a matriarchy and here not just in name like usual D&D. Men have no political rights and besides some holdouts, increasingly no power. Mostly only a issue for nobility, non-nobility are used to their lot and just accept it as given.
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized?
1. Drow democracy still involves a lot of backstabbing and faction building. Getting into bed with your political allies (and enemies) is basically key to thriving and 'not' being good at sex with women is basically equal to political irrelevance.
2. They can and enjoy knocking up eachother and surface elven girls, making drow-surface elf relationships key to their revenge plot (be it as political marriages, hostage-wives or plain old slavery and rape).
>What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
If there was such an individual, she would keep it to herself and eat pussy like a good girl.

>Without unasked for lore dumping, the key part was drow women finding out they could dominate surface elves by using magic to impregnate their females (since canonically drow breed dominant among elves).

Kinda hot desu. The next generation of Drow women in elf wombs...

Setting for the SRPG that will only ever exist in my brain.

>What kind of setting is this?
Fire Emblem-ish fantasy with lots of monstergirls and such, who are incidentally responsible for the yuri-normativity.
Long story short: in the distant past, a brave heroine went to fight a powerful dragoness. They were evenly matched, and the fighting broke down and went wrong (went sexual), and something about their actions resonated with all the magic lying around from the heroine's broken equipment and the dragon's inherent magic and then boom. Suddenly there's monstergirls everywhere in addition to the existing humans/elves/dwarves/etc, but they're all-female and can reproduce with women, and they end up outbreeding the old races so that most people are women and like women.
Also, the crater where the "plap plap get pregnant get pregnant" happened became a natural landmark, though not everyone understands what exactly it is.
>Are men still around?
Yes, but only because I need men to still exist in significant enough numbers to justify that one of my characters is disguising herself as one.
>If men are around, [gender equality]?
Depends on the location. A few places are still dominated by the old races (that have men) and don't like the idea of being supplanted, so women have it worse there, but there are also places with monstergirl coexistence/dominance.
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized? What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
It was mainly a consequence of monstergirls coming into existence. They were initially attracted to women almost exclusively, and enough interbreeding skewed the tables over time so that everyone's more likely than not to like girls.
Being an entirely straight girl is basically unheard-of by the time the story starts, but she'd probably just be considered an oddball or a wet blanket more than anything.

People who still include men in their stories are COWARDS.
That's right, you're a coward! You don't need men at all and all the mental gymnastics in the world can't justify having men! You can create entire worlds but you can't think of a way for a world to exist without men, pathetic!!

I want to add a question now that it's mother's month on some parts of the world. How it's mother's day celebrated in your world? There are different days for the mother that birthed you and oyher dy for the mother that didn't?

>>4418141
Sounds cute. So if it's a Fire Emblem esque game would it have the obligatory S-rank romance scenes between human girls and monstergirls?

>>4418142
I keep them around in case I need someone to die brutally and pathetically, usually to hype up a woman.

>>4418142
I don't begrudge people who want all-women worlds and that's totally chill and good, but for me it's a bit like eating nothing but desert. Without a sense of balance in there, the world can feel like a utopian theme park and not a living and breathing culture.

>>4418158
>>4418159
You both lack imagination.
You're both incapable of freeing yourself. Go ahead, imagine a setting consisting only of women, no men at all. It feels amazing.

>>4418178
De-centering from men also needs to be in your yuri stories. Never forget

>>4414851
No it's not. It's just a means of survival and reproduction. It could literally be anything else without taking away your humanity.

>>4418141
Sounds almost like the conflict of the game would be a crusade of the monstergirls, to liberate their future wives from the old-races societies.
Extremly relevant to my interests.
>>4418142
I'd see it as a choice of what the story is about. Without men its a story about how yuri won and then life goes on, vs. Yuri is currently winning and you get to see it. Both has its appeal.
There are types of stories that are very satisfying you can only tell if the choice between men and women still exists, so you can have girls choose other girls.

>>4418360

>>4418252
>No it's not. It's just a means of survival and reproduction
It is. Also Biology can be changed too but status quo still remains for women to become mothers. Women/Women pregnancy will be the main thing in the upcoming future.

Tens of thousands of years of evolutionary pressure selected for superior physicality in females, due to predators and environmental factors necessitating that pregnant females be able to fend for themselves. On top of that, these differences are exaggerated by mutations as a result of radiation and/or genetic engineering during apocalyptic event which saw hundreds of years of social and technological development loss. Eventually humanity rebuilds, which brings us to the post-post-apocalyptic setting where the average woman is a 2.5 meter tall muscular beauty (think Frost from Sometime's PuchiHore). On the other hand, the average man is pratically a shota.

Female homosexuality is normalized as a result of a significant skew in the population gender ratio towards females, as well as a "battle sister" culture among the legions of swordswomen who defend humanity, which is mandatory service in most cases. Bisexuality is nominally the default but in practice a minority of women actually engage with men sexually. Daughters are favored over sons by lesbian couples for obvious reasons, although sons are rare and valuable enough to be taken in by the state if they're unwanted. A handful of dynasties keep their sons as sperm donors for reasons of bloodline purity, but many others simply dismiss this as insignificant relative to the bloodline of the mother. Due to the differences in physicality, it's not uncommon for women to find heterosexual intercourse disappointing and men to find it traumatizing. That said, few men have the luxury of homosexuality. On the other hand, if a woman identifies as purely straight, she's likely to invite whispers behind her back referring to her as some kind of deviant.

>>4418650
The story that would never be written based in this setting would feature an orphan girl with severe birth defects giving her a loli-like body, marking her a pariah for her "masculinity". Despite this, as a teenager, she demonstrates superior proficiency over even veterans with firearms, which at this point are venerated relics of a lost age. Although this does not fully absolve her from the disdain of other women, one particular swordswoman is so smitten that she calls her "onee-sama" despite being an adult several years older, her justification being simply that irrespective of age, someone with superior martial prowess to her must be her onee-sama.

>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
Alternate history and modern day at the same time, sort of.
Setting starts around late antiquity when pagan greek women fleeing persecution load up on as many boats as they can and sail past the Pillars of Hercules. Eventually they land in a mystical archipelago in the Caribbean that doesn't show up on any map; they found out pretty quick that this island chain has magical properties, such as rendering them immune to age or the elements. The island also allows same-sex reproduction, and gradually their numbers grow, occasionally supplemented by other pagan women also fleeing persecution from Europe (an influx of norse women in the middle ages is the biggest by far).
>Men?
The male gender cannot exist on the archipelago, any man that attempts to sail or fly there is either turned away or magically transformed into a woman.
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized?
The magic of the island makes women almost constantly horny; if you weren't a lesbian before coming to the archipelago, you will be in short order. "Straight" as an orientation simply does not exist.

>>4419865
>more lore:
• The archipelago consists of about 20 major islands, the major cultures that dominate are greek and old norse but certain other islands are descended from other cultures that found the islands. The big islands operate as their own nations with their own laws until they all get together and form a federal republic in the late 1800s
• This federal republic has its own kind of "glamour". People vaguely know the country exists, but there's a kind of magical mental block preventing anyone from keeping their attention on it. You can read the Wikipedia article of it, but the moment you click off the page you'll usually completely forget what you were reading about.
• The islands are a federal republic, but each major island also does their own thing and vary somewhat in their laws, though they're mostly the same except on two things
• Some islands have completely banned clothing, making nudity mandatory, some mandate clothes be "skimpy", a few make toplessness/bottomless mandatory
• Some islands also practice slavery (having either always practices it or re-legalized it after the federal republic's formation). Slaves are forbidden from wearing clothing and have their feet shackled and connected by a chain at all time; are mostly used for sex. Some islands make slavery purely consensual, some allow more "active" means of enslaving another women, up to and including capturing women from outside the islands.
• Birth-rate for the islands is actually quite low; the women are ageless and live for hundreds of years but are not immortal, population mostly grows from women that stumble upon the island and stay or are invited (or captured).

>Alternate history and modern day at the same time, sort of.
Good but needs tweaks. In "modern day" humans with potential to do magic started to be born. Government captures and exiles those individuals at infancy to archipelagos. One archipelago for men, other for woman (thousands miles apart). It's done so in order to have control over population in case "mages" start to act up. No opposite sex is allowed even close. Due to geography / mystic stuff it's hard to reach them and even harder to left.

As exiles had to rebuild society from scratch technological level here varies from antiquity to late middle-ages, depending on island.

Government gets rid of mages not only because such individuals are dangerous, but also because every time they use magic they risk turning into monstergirls.

When a girl turn into for example lamia rapid changes in body are also very stressful, so much that it can damage brain. Girls can forget how to read, lose empathy, get amnesia... All of it is reversible with mind training, but can also turn them into mindless animal craving human flesh.

Different "countries" have a different approach to that problem. One is darvinistic despoty with a slave-master social pyramid, where the top is filled with monsters with just enough mind to cling to power. Other strictly regulate who can use magic and masses often times don't even know it exists.

Oh! Almost forgot. Normally human girls can't have babies, but some monstergirls have mutations that allow them to get pregnant/impregnate others.

Here we go.

But usually its not much of a "setting".

>>4422815
One of the worst concepts I've ever seen in all of fiction, wish I could go back in time and kill whoever invented it. All of it is just hetero with extra steps and 99.9% of the times it's futa or trans too, that's the kind of crowd it attracts.
I like the concept of heat, but pheromones are kinda retarded and the rapey shit is boring as fuck. I prefer the idea of a woman who goes into heat and then she goes around hunting for women to have sex with. And she is the pushy one, climbing on the face of her partner and riding the other's fingers with abandon, holding her by the wrist to keep her in place.
But it hits even harder when it's less common thing and not applied to literally the whole planet like futaverse shit. That kills the whole special and exotic aspect of it.

>>4428874
I forgot to add that I prefer when both women in a couple have the potential to get pregnant, not only one. And no boring top/bottom garbage, that's for faggots and hets

I feel like a lot of what I've read ITT happens in X-Piratez

>>4413363 (OP)
I'm happy to see a thread like this! Wasn't sure if many others tend to imagine yuri-centric worlds and such. A general idea I was playing with recently:

>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
Fantasy.

High fantasy with lots of magic, D&D-esque world. The "good" region where heroines would be from is a kingdom (Queendom?) where the entire population is female.

>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them? Dead? Turned gay? Etc.
Men are the enemy, basically. They're the 'other', and the threat to be opposed by heroines and the female queendoms and such.

Races can be 'female-aligned' or 'male-aligned'. Female races are exclusively female, and women from them are able to impregnate each other through magic yuri sex or what not. These would include pretty and traditionally good-aligned races like Elves, Fairies, Mermaids, etc. Male races, by contrast, have a majority male population with some females they use to propagate. These races would include those like Orcs, Goblins and the like.

Humans would probably have female-aligned variants and male-aligned variants. The former being all-female yuri cultures, and the latter being male-dominant cultures similar to most historic Human civilizations.

Basically the main conflict in this world would be female vs. male - with the 'yuri' side functionally being like the 'good-aligned' forces in a fantasy world, with the 'male' side being the evil-aligned forces. Heroines would be rallying the female races and cultures, fighting off male enemies, supporting Goddesses, opposing Male demons and deities, etc...

>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
Men do not exist in female-aligned races/nations in this world (because they are evil and gross and incompatible with the ways of yuri.) Relationships between women are lovey dovey, and the social hierarchy in female civilizations is quite harmonious.

In male-aligned races/nations, women are oppressed and fought over by dominance-hungry men. Competition between men is the rule of the day.

>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized? What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
There are no straight girls in the female-aligned parts of the world, yuri is just normal. As mentioned before, women are able to impregnate each other because magic or something.

As for why this is the case - I haven't thought too hard about the specifics, but it probably is tied to the history of this world and its deities. Maybe males and females were two separate races at the creation of the world, and have been in conflict with each other forever.

The female side would ultimately triumph and males would probably be wiped out like Orcs in a fantasy setting - happy ending - but it would be a drawn-out, difficult fight to get there. So lots of heroines going on quests and big dramatic wars and such. One idea I like is heroines having to awaken Goddesses who were sealed away by men/male Gods and such. Goddesses who would probably be quite peeved and vengeful once brought back.

Probably not for everyone here, but I've always liked this sort of "yuri against the world" theme. Or imagining it all being kinda 'female vs. male', which this is definitely leaning into.

Yes. I create a Yuri with women and women only. I will post if I get 4chan gf or wife. I m serious. 1 wife 1 chapter

>What kind of setting is this? Sci-fi? Fantasy? Alternate History? Close to real life?
High fantasy, magic exists as a equivalent to the modern luxuries of our real world, not unlike your typical isekai fantasy
>Are men still around? Regardless of yes or no, what has happened to them? Dead? Turned gay? Etc.
Still exist but they only make up the minority of the world population
>If men are around, are women the dominant gender or are they equal, or worse, oppressed?
Better than in the real world actually, not much sexism or opression against neither sexes and relations are relatively peaceful
>How did lesbianism become normalized/institutionalized? What happens if a girl identifies as straight?
Always have been a normal thing in society but it did started becoming more and more the norm thanks to some subtle divine meddling, all the major deities are female and the Goddess of Love in particular, while not being a godess of lesbians in specific, is a big yuri fangirl who heavily favors women over men

I'm a big fan of males being a minority of the population in settings like this. (If they have to be around at all)

What are your ideas for how that comes about, though? Some magical evolution - like humanity becomes more female as we become more attuned to magic, since femininity is more aligned with magic? Or was it just always that way in this universe?

In a science babies society that still require pregnancy, how do a couple decide which one of them gonna carry the baby?
Also since the baby have 2 mothers, what'd she call her mother who give birth to her? birth mother? There should be a term for it.

>>4437244
Probably mom/mama/ma/mommy or some variation on that

I think it can be done well but it just usually isn't. It's really just another writing dynamic but people use it as an excuse for futa. It could be interesting in settings for something like historical fiction with
arranged marriages but it tends to put itself into a small window for how things play out that turns into essentially the same as het most of the time. Definitely agree with you on the top/bottom shit though. I've been seeing it way too often here, and they're even putting it in manga now. It's strange

>>4439519
Top and bottom have been concepts since the existence of lesbians anon... Obviously most of the time lesbians are switches to some degree who will take part in pleasuring each other, but there are plenty of real life pillow princesses and hard tops who want to be in control.

Omegaverse garbage doesn't have tops/bottoms, it has literal genetically predisposed classes, which just happen to follow unchangable top/bottom dynamics. Obviously this more extreme version of a real life concept will atrract some people. Even if it's pointless if there is no choice in the matter.

Birthmother = mother
Other mother = omother

Yes.

Optimally intense and vicious negotiations between their families over bloodline rights.
