#So many AFAB/She-pronoun characters make having babies as a goal

The thought just hit me. If eve's biology changed in a way that she is now closer, more conpatible with cybertronian lifeformes. Does that mean that there is a possibility that she could get pregnant with one? Since I'm assuming that the cybertronians in your fic like in canon don't reproduce the same way that organic's due, that would be something unprecedented and It could creat so much drama. The child would be a natural techno-organic being and with eve's biology who knows how it would look or what it would inherit.
What are your thoughts on this?
You're right in your assumption - I am following IDW's reproductive lore where Cybes are born via hotspots like cabbage patch kids. I think it brings an added vibe of desperation. Their planet is dormant/dying, there are no new Cybes to carry on the next generation, and the war is slowly wiping out the species. That nugget of lore comes up in the upcoming book, When Sparks Burn.
As for the pregnancy part, I'll try my best not to inject any personal bias. Pregnancy in fics don't vibe with me. I'm just not a fan. So you're not going to find many pregnancy themes in my fics.
BUT you do have a point, it would be absolutely unprecedented. It would be a whole book itself. A way to reproduce? To bring the Cybertronian race back to full strength? Of course Eve would be in that lab with everyone else trying to find out how it happened, and if it can happen again. Her Autobot friends would be there for her every step of the way, but there would be those who felt it was unnatural. Depending on the sire, they would either be happy, or repulsed. I would also imagine it wouldn't be an easy pregnancy.
But who I would cast as the main villain? Who would love to get his hands on her? All eight of them?
#tw pregnancy#Anon asks#I do appreciate the very interesting thoughts#I can already imagine the incredibly angsty themes and tropes#If Sunstreaker was the sire he would be absolutely repulsed till well after birth because Sunny be Sunny#And it would definitely cause some fights#Sideswipe would be perfect and attentive but probably be overwhelmingly Too Much#And it would cause some fights#Because my favorite part about writing relationships is the making up afterwards and becoming stronger together#But yeah I have no plans on writing any You-centric character getting pregnant#Not Eva - Not Marine Biologist - and Not Farmer - and no other You character in the future#So many AFAB/She-pronoun characters make having babies as a goal#and that's absolutely fine if an author wants to write that#but its just not for me
