The Omniverse Saga
The Omniverse Saga
Whalecum to the Official "Timeline" for the Omniverse Saga (a.k.a. Peak Fiction)

Imagining and constructing a proper chronological timeline of the Omniverse is inherently incomprehensible, paradoxical, and downright impossible due to the Omniverse being the totality of all fictional narratives ever conceived. Because of this simple fact of the Omniverse encompasses every story, genre, and idea across cultures and eras, it resists any fixed temporal order. Instead, an analogical framework rooted in narratology and comparative mythology offers a meaningful way for us real life humans reading this page to conceptualize its evolution and somehow right a somewhat meaningful shared narrative across all fictional works. Specifically, in the lens of Maureen Murdock’s Heroine’s Journey, which emphasizes the struggle between binary opposition (light vs darkness, good vs evil, yin vs yang, you get the point.) Ultimately, one could use her model as a microcosmic analogy to the macrocosmic real life history of human narrative and our potential future; metaphorically onto the history of pop-media and its entanglement with political evolution. The timeline of the Omniverse Saga and its eponymous setting provides a compelling (or at the very least, unique) narrative structure that mirrors humanity’s evolving relationship with fiction and its political, cultural, religious, and economical status throughout the past and the future.

Emanation 1:
The Heroine and their Kingdom

Big Bang

In a metanarrative perspective, the Omniverse begins with the primordial “Big Bang” of our universe and since fiction is an ontological presence in existence, the birth of our universe birthed the Omniverse. Since the heroine's journey is all about binary opposition, analogically, this corresponds to the Big Bang being the split from indivisible to the subsequent divisible formation of the universe, where undifferentiated potential gives way to structure and multiplicity. As time, space, and eventually matter emerges, narrative is technically born in its most elemental form. Node 1.png
Emanation 2:
The Obscene Foundation of the World

approx. -13,800,000,000 BC 1919 AD

As biological evolution culminates in the rise of consciousness, laying the groundwork for imagination and story telling, within this node, you have all fictional stories told through the beginning of humankind up to the end of the 19th century CE. This also includes all backstory lore of all fictional works that chronologically take place before 1919 in their respective timelines. This node culminates in the very early 20th century, particularly after World War I, when American industrialization and capitalism enabled mass production of narrative media instead of the conservative and oppressive religious and political control Europe had over what narrative could be. The rise of Hollywood, animation studios, pulp magazines, comic strips, and various other new media marked a decisive break from traditional mythic frameworks, establishing fiction as a commercial enterprise which would allow for more opportunities for individuals to tell their stories. Now most stories became commodities with characters transformed into intellectual properties, signaling the Omniverse’s entry into a new phase. Node 2.png
Emanation 3:
The Deceiving Majesty

1919 AD Early 2000s AD

With American cultural hegemony reaching its zenith as Hollywood cinema, television, comic books, and later video games become global forces, this node is where the Omniverse Saga truly starts. Iconic franchises emerged, from cartoons, to superheroes, to science fiction sagas, establishing a shared public subconsciousness of fiction. Technological innovations such as sound film, color cinema, and digital effects further expanded the Omniverse’s scope. During this time, fictional characters were perceived as living individuals within their narrative worlds, fostering deep emotional connections with audiences. The Omniverse flourished as a vibrant tapestry of distinct stories, unified by the optimism and cultural confidence of American influence across our world and the globalization in general. Later on, these various cosmologies and narratives became somewhat interconnected with the growing influence of fandoms and fanfictions. Especially with hit crossover fanfic series: Pooh's Adventures! Node 3.png
Emanation 4:
The Enduring Ravens

Mid 2000s AD

During this node, many fictional characters during this time retire or settle down with various companies like Nintendo, Disney, and Nickelodeon being much more experimental with their iconic cartoonish/family friendly franchises with many considering this time period to be the most "edgy" and or "dark" these franchises ever faced. Many now believing that this period was the most liberal/expressive. Ultimately, many stories featuring long running franchises felt conclusive during this time period and thus, it looked like a proper send off for the Omniverse. But within the real-life context of fiction, the seeds of skepticism were rising even higher than before. Although the seeds were planted during the social upheavals of the 1960s, the mid-2000s marked a more pronounced cultural disillusionment. Economic instability, geopolitical tensions, and the growing awareness of corporate consolidation began to challenge the perceived authenticity of popular media (especially with the rise of the internet.) This ultimately would result in a social bubble being burst in the upcoming node. Node 4.png
Emanation 5:
The Beauty and the Disputing Tragedy

Late 2000s AD 2020s AD

This node fundamentally showcases the end of the "American Dream." Many now face and have to confront with systemic reality. Media conglomerates now exert unprecedented control over intellectual property, shaping the narrative landscape through expansive cinematic universes and cross-media synergies. The emergence of digital platforms and the internet within this node transform fictional characters into mythic icons that now act like recognizable symbols that transcend their original narratives. Cultural phenomena such as the video game Fortnite and the film Ready Player One exemplify this shift, presenting vast inter-textual spaces where characters function less as individuals and more as interchangeable signifiers or “skins.” This commodification of the art of character kills their individuality as actual characters with most of them now being blatant products of corporate strategy rather than authentic storytelling. Additionally, the rise of artificial intelligence further produces a culture of "slop" that further removes individuality from iconic characters into nothing more than "skinwalkers" for companies to churn out like that of Disney. This node hits its climax in the late 2020s with The Great Crossover Divide A.K.A. the most ambitious fictional crossover ever conceived with over +300 of iconic heroes from various fictional works joining together as many of their worlds are invaded and destroyed in 2026 by the overarching antagonists throughout this entire timeline on this page. The heroes find out more about the truth of the Omniverse and learn of the existence of the Vermilion Army and their supreme leader [insert main antagonist of all fiction]. With the mission to avenge their fallen worlds that are all permanently gone now and with the revelations of this secret Omniversal threat, our heroes form O.F.R.O.P.E. Ultimately, this node concludes in approx. 2029 with most (if not all) of our heroes failing their mission and dying to the hands of the Vermilion Army as they achieve the first phase of their magnum opus plan with 50% of the entire Omniverse being wiped out as shown in The End of Pooh's Adventures.

Emanation 6:
The Judgment of Burning

2030s AD  ????

This node is currently unknown as it has yet to happen in reality. All that is known so far is that many villainous henchmen, minions, and 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 goons who survived the 50% destruction of the Omniverse are now stuck in various unknown and abstract realities. With the death of their beloved villainous bosses now all mostly dead forever—since they died together with the heroes as they joined and helped O.F.R.O.P.E. during the events of The Great Crossover Divide—the surviving henchmen, minions, and 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 goons find themselves stuck in the Omniversal war between the forces of light and darkness and thus, swear to find out the truth about the Vermilion Army and avenge their villainous bosses. Thus, making the entire Omniverse Saga after this point a story about evil/villain protagonists avenging the hero protagonists. This will be further elaborated on during the release of The Great Crossover Divide 2: Electric Boogaloo. Template Placeholder other.png

Heat Death of the Universe

Since the Omniverse is just a manifestation of human imagination, it is rightfully so that the Omniverse Saga will only end if real life ends and as such, the Omniverse Saga's ending is our real ending A.K.A. the inevitable fate of our universe known as the "heat death of the universe" or the "Big Freeze." within the context of fictional characters, this real life event will be known as the CUMageddon which involves all multiverses, megaverses, gigaverses, etc., evolving to a state of no thermodynamic free energy and, having reached maximum entropy, they will all therefore be unable to sustain any further thermodynamic processes. Afterwards, bombs filled with 67 Utter Oblivion liters of God's white hot flammable cum and 41 Utter Oblivion Sperm Whales will be dropped on every existing and non existing reality and all of the Omniverse will be destroyed, resulting in an unending void of pure nothingness that will last for all eternities beyond all fictional googology, with the only survivor being God, still trapped in their own mind. Eventually, they stop thinking, permanently ending the Omniverse. Node 10.png

Tentative Placement

TBA Emanation:
To Be Announced

6th Millennium AD
[Tentative Placement]

*Tentative Placement (could be any of the three renaming nodes)

Known as the Post-Hype era of the Omniverse, this will be the node where the NPC-𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 War takes place. Not much is know about the events of the war or 99.9% of this node in general since we are far, FAR away from this node happening in real life so we will simply all have to wait and see what happens when we're all in the Post-Hype era of our real life in around 3,000 years. The only thing certain is that the war will end in 5758 with 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴ia being nuked by the Disney Bomb, with the NPC Alliance winning and the end of all things 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 for all eternity.

Trivia
  • Egoism.png
    One reason the Omniverse Saga is told and presented in this fashion is due to egoism, which asserts that the writer of this page is the only certainty is the existence of the self. Within the story itself, the timeline is presented from the perspective of a hypothetical “monadic avatar,” whose consciousness organizes the otherwise boundless aggregation of fictional narratives into a coherent story.
  • Another reason for the Omniverse Saga being told this way is too parody and deconstruct (and technically reconstruct) the Kingdom Hearts franchise. Unbeknownst to most, the overarching Kingdom Hearts story matches Murdock's Heroine's Journeyin an analytical story standpoint. Since the Omniverse Saga is heavily inspired by Kingdom Hearts, Nomura's vision of the KH story with the heroine's journey is key to deconstructing Kingdom Hearts narratively.
