Pomegaverse (ポメガバース) is a fanworks trend that began in Japanese fandom circles circa February 2021. In these works, a human character experiences so much stress that they transform into a Pomeranian dog. They can only revert back to their human form if the stress is relieved via receiving love and affection from other people.

The trope originated as a drawing trend in Japanese-language twitter spaces, and soon caught the attention of western fans, who used pomegaverse in art and fic.
