#TW: Infertility

[maykitty]

One piece character’s reaction to you being infertile

Warning: mention infertility, misdirected blaming, slavery, murder, and rejection.

Characters: Monster trio, Law, Doflamingo, Kidd, and Katakuri

Luffy

He will not care, the dude loves you no matter what.

He is the first to be okay with the idea of adopting a kid.

Pretty obvious with his childhood living with DanDan, Ace, and Sabo.

If you do adopt prepare to deal with two kids along with large dinners.

Zoro

Like Luffy, he doesn't care too.

Zoro is okay with adoption since he was taken in by his Sensei.

Once you guys adopt he will teach his kid how to use a sword.

Plus he is more likely to get lost than your child would on a day out.

Sanji

He was a little sad as his dream is to have a kid that you guys made together.

But he is a little relieved as there is still some trauma due to his own life with Judge and how his mother died trying to stop Judge from changing his DNA.

Just like the others in the monster trio, he had a found father in Zeff so adoption is still an option.

But Sanji would prefer if you two adopt a girl as he always wanted a daughter.

You and your child will have some great meals.

Law

As a doctor, he understands what causes infertility and he doesn't blame you.

He is sort of happy as he never really planned for a kid due to his goals and the fear of the amber-lead disease being passed down.

He is okay with adoption and if you do want to risk having kids then he suggests doing IVF.

When you do have kids he wants to get them into Sora and teach some medical materials as well.

Doflamingo

He blames you for not being able to give him any kids.

He still has his Celestial Dragon pride to pass down his genes.

Among the Celestial Dragons, if a member is infertile they can take a slave’s child as their own or buy a child.

But if a slave is infertile they are either thrown out or killed as they're seen as useless if they're brought to have kids.

You are seen as no use to him.

Kidd

He doesn't care, he lives on an Island where kids are usually abandoned or orphans.

Plus, he has kids on his crew so starting a family isn't something he wants or needs.

He still loves you as long as you are fine with your life now.

Katakuri

He leaves you, one of the things big mom want her children to do is get married to gain power and have children.

You are not what Big Mom wants so Katakuri has to reject your love to marry someone Big Mom approves of who can provide resources and give him children.

As it doesn't matter how much he loves you back his role in the Big Mom Pirates comes first.

[miraculouslbcnreactions]

Wondering about how much of Adrien is real seems to be the tip of the "Astruc didn't think things through" iceberg. How much of any senti-person is genuine? Does Tomoe only think Kagami can't draw because she cannot? Is Felix an ass because Colt Fathom was?

(Post this ask was in reference to)

I'm always wary of laying all of the blame at any one person's feet without hard evidence that this is only their fault since there's a core writing team and pretty much every episode has multiple credited writers. Add in the fact that many other people are also directly and indirectly involved in the writing process and it becomes real hard to point fingers from the outside, which is why I tend to generally wave at the whole crew under the banner of "writers". Other than that issue, I agree with you. It seems like everyone involved either didn't think the idea through very well or they thought it was a kids show, so the horrifying implications didn't matter.

I never know what a kid will pick up on and Miraculous' target demographic is pretty young, so this may indeed be something that flies over most kids heads. It's still not a risk that I would take, though, and I'm baffled as to why they even did it.

This isn't supposed to be a super dark show, so you generally want to avoid including dark elements unless they're absolutely vital because why risk upsetting your audience when you don't need to? And the writers really didn't need to. They went the "Emilie had no idea that the peacock would kill her" route and, once you go that route, you don't need to give her a complex motivation for using the peacock. Complexity is only required if she knew that using it would kill her. And even if they did go the "she knew" route, they still picked a terrible motivation! If your infertility is effecting you so badly that you're willing to die to get a baby, then you don't need a magic baby. You need mental health support because you are in a very dark place.

tw: discussion of infertility/child loss

Doing some timeline stuff and trying to figure out everyone’s ages made me realize how odd it is that Henry/Nerissa are so much older than Luxa.

Which lead me to think about courting/marriage/childbearing customs in Regalian culture, especially in regards to the royal family. Which made me realize that Luxa’s parents probably were married and trying for heirs before the kings younger brother (Henry’s father) would be starting his family.

So why are Luxa’s cousins years older than her? It also doesn’t make sense that her parents would have only had one heir. It’s very common to make a few spares (even in peace times). They didn’t die until AFTER Gregor’s father fell. Luxa would have been somewhere between 9-10 years old. The fact that she doesn’t have siblings is very telling.

Luxa’s parents struggled with fertility issues for at least 5 years before her birth and for about 10 after. That’s why Luxa’s name doesn’t match her family’s tradition of naming children after Shakespearean references. She IS their Lux, their light.

I am not okay.

3.117 The other shoe

We started the night at a bar in a fancy rooftop hotel in San Myshuno. Sophia and I didn't bother dressing up because our only goal was to meet the man that had my sister all googly-eyed, and that didn't involve nice clothes. Jace Laurent was his name. He was from Tartosa and frequented the bar where we had the party. His fancy job title didn't fool me once he explained the role. He said he was a nano-simfluencer for a company called Trend Team. Apparently, he was heavily into fashion and was seeking the attention of brands on social media so he could score an endorsement deal. Basically, he was unemployed. True, I was technically unemployed too, but at least I left home and come back with money like normal working sims.

But after a while, I had to admit he wasn't as much of a schmuck as I thought he'd be. He was definitely weird, but seemed like he'd be kinda fun to hang out with once we got to know each other better.

"Would you stop grilling him??" Alessia shouted.

"I'm not grilling! I'm just trying to get to know him. Isn't that what you want?"

"Yeah, but stop with the 20 Questions!"

"How else am I supposed to get to know him, Less??"

Like, seriously! What was up with her? First she yelled at Sophia on Winterfest for trying to stay in the conversation and get to know her, and now this? I hoped ol' dude was up to handle her moods because if I couldn't win with her, no one could.

"Don't mind her," Jace said. "She's just a little pregnant."

"I'm sorry...WHAT?!"

His proud, smug face melted into discomfort and mortification.

"Oh no...she didn't tell you."

"We're in love, Luca," Alessia shouted. "I asked him to move in."

So many questions buzzed around my brain like a swarm of bees, but the frustration flowing through my veins was stronger than the urge to get answers. I was so done with this seemingly endless stream of accidental pregnancies around me! The mere thought of another person turning up pregnant ignited a fiery anger within me so intense I could almost taste it. Okay…I wouldn't actually resort to violence, but the urge to lash out, to release my pent-up frustration, was as real as all these unborn babies in my life.

"We have to go," I said, getting up from the table.

Alessia yelled after us, questioning our abrupt departure, but I didn't care. My only goal was to seek shelter in the safety of my home because the fortress I built around my emotions had finally been breached. Falling apart was imminent now. As soon as I crossed the threshold, the pressure that had been building up all week erupted from my mouth as I hollered. I never felt so out of control before. I paced, tugged on my hair, and screamed some more. Sophia stood off to the side for a moment, watching, allowing me to get it out, but then she marched up to me and embraced me tightly as if she were trying to squeeze hope back into me. We collapsed onto the couch and cried together. I probably should have waited to tell her about my hospital visit, but how much more could it hurt? We were already at the bottom.

"Sophia," I said through my tears, "I gotta tell you something."

She sat up to hear my story and wiped my face.

"I went to the doctor. That's where I was earlier... I have low fertility too. I'm so sorry!"

To my surprise, she didn't sink deeper into despair, like I thought she would. She held my hand and showed me the most incredible display of bravery I had ever seen.

"Awwwww, Luca! Are you okay? This isn't your fault. It's no one's fault. It just...is."

I knew she was right, but life really sucked at the moment, and I didn't know how to withstand against all those blows anymore. I thought I was strong enough, but now my wife had to hold me up.

"It's just not fair," I yelled. "Alessia, Yasmine...and even Dub! None of them were trying to get pregnant! Why won't it happen for us? I feel like we're being punished for something, but I don't know what it is! I just want to start a family with you. What's so bad about that?? I've done everything to stay positive and hopeful, but I can't do it anymore! I can't do it, Sophia!"

She wiped my tears and tried to soothe me, telling me it was going to be okay, just like I did for her at the beginning of all this.

"Hey...listen...we can't give up yet, babe. We've got one more trick up our sleeve! How about tomorrow I do the IVF? Forget those treatments!"

"Are you sure? That's surgery."

"It's outpatient. This is my last chance to carry my own child. I have to take it."

"Okay. But only if you want to. I'm fine with adoption if you change your mind, but...I really hope it works."

"Me too."

[mystycfics]

Who: Mollie & Banks @glitchfms

Where: Pandemonium

Mollie had a habit of adopting people she felt needed family. Maybe it was because she had been adopted when she was little or maybe it was because she couldn't have children herself. By default she was a mother hen. Raven's Peak had so many people that were lost and looking for some sort of support, it was like a magnet for orphans.

"Banks," she called as she entered the psychic shop. She knew many witches that could do clairvoyance spells but she had never met a tried and true psychic. Though, as with all of them in this town, they probably existed even if they weren't supposed to. "Hey I got some more of those treats at the shop, thought I would bring some by for you."

[entirelysein-e]

I do not believe you. Every woman has baby fever

Uhm???? I don't lol.

I don't like children and I don't want any. Next to that I also can't have any so please don't tell me what I want

[jtl-fics]

anything with matt boyd in it, if that's an okay ask?

maybe the new kings dan/matt bit :eyes: but really whatever you want

WIP Wednesday 1-3-24 (Closed) | New Kings AU

Dan had insisted on having Matt in the room with her and she needed him there. She still remembered being in a room all by herself because she had insisted that she would be just fine. Still remembers the way the doctor looked at her when she came back in the room.

She doesn't remember the drive home. Doesn't remember crawling into bed. She does remember the shock back to the present when she heard Matt come in through their front door. Loud, happy, jovial, and perfect father material.

And she couldn't give that to him.

Ill-Fated, Sadness

Disheartening rainfall plunged from weeping skies, promising to be herald historically catastrophic, neighboring farms and abodes were spared no expense of ire. Flooding purest sorrow and mourning it sought to soil upon mortal-lands. Summers passed, a couple of Shadow to Dawn, would have their ultimate harrowing, a wicked test of their characters, love, trialed against fate's sheer remorselessness. Once formerly an expressionless, hollow man, now a dark-clad, husband returned home. Only to find his other-half in a ball between knees, tears-streaming, heavier than rain outdoors, pattering below rivers. Only she unsheathed his cruelty; restoring senses to identity. His blackened-gloves reached out into her unusual visit to darkness and searched answer, "Hey. What's wrong?" Those palms brought the end of many, but maneuvered, so caring. Encouraging to share wielding this pain, not alone. Hoisting gradually, her-features; read, <Please, Forgive Me...> continuing a downpour, "I'm a failure, accursed, flawed." the assassin felt sensations of fury. Whoever is causing these... They'll perish. Outside in the back-drop, thunder-struck with blasting-boom! As Rokeia finally confessed, "I cannot conceive." Twisted-fates would do this? She spent her life, in Shamanism restoring infertile, curing others, relieving spirits from lesser to greater. She wanted to have a child with her lover; trying until she finally discovered a plight. For all he did is know death. After their contract, that saw them entangled, caring for a pathetic-lowly, flower, a Sakurasou. There wasn't doubt, he'd be a perfect father of unbridled security. It may bring him full peace. Across oppositions, he was a devoid-husk being, heartless, a genuine-star-eyed killer. But to moments of heart, a firm-digit reached out lifting her chin. "Together." Plainly said, "...We'll solve anything together. Scour this realm for a solution. No dark is immune to light, you're proof." Suddenly her downtrodden-state was annihilated. The Black Miracle once again; instilling hope. Taking two-fingers, intersecting his lips to create a goof-smile to expressively say; she wasn't alone. This isn't a lone-burden. Clouds she knew, ceased; composure returned. Couple were orbits, necessary for another's survival. Features-loosened up with beautified determination, "You're right! I won't give-in. But... Honey, you need to stay, to East. You've obligations. So I'll journey, traverse all-over. I believe Pirate's are renowned for this... Let me go find our treasure. Then, we'll be arms, with a precious other existence. Our littlest-balance maker of joy! I'm certain they'll bring others too." They'd temporarily sacrifice distance of another for a moment, but they're of essence. Sharing agreement, he personally extended search and become an infamous Slayer of Legends to silent-dwellers of night. Deemed enemies would be erased... slaughter before his appointed-skies. His accolades brought to creating a dynasty. Facing a hundred-other dangerous killers and dismantling their Black-Stars of Weaponry. Rozan the 100 Stars. Was forged, The Last Black Miracle. Her storied-events pushed motion. A woman-of-scouring was born, a Pirate... Of remarkable left recorded to faded-passages. Noble-intentions to retrieve something sacred! Self-Restoration and cultivate precious, Life. She'd free a Founding Captain of the Goldbrand from execution whose Friendship, was integral of future coming-eras. Her gifts made them accelerate in wealth, but wasn't priority. Navigation she pioneered, was ahead-of-its-time. Due to treasure-sought. Embarking mythical adventures, saw her owning an unusual-ship that could traverse even dimensions! Death's Door... Would these lovers be successful in making happy-ever-after? The paired in hardship said to Fate... You won't win. Together. Us. We'll... Rebel! Fight! Sacrifice! Claim! For Our Future. Importantly, theirs...

Do you have thoughts on how Wilson would react if he and reader were trying to get pregnant but having trouble and they found out it was due to him having fertility issues/etc.

Totally understand if you feel uncomfortable answering this or find it weird. Very sorry if this makes you uncomfortable!

interesting ask anon! i had to think about this for a while, but this is how i see it playing out

if you were really excited to have a family i could see wilson’s initial reaction being guilt. like he wants to be able to give you anything and everything you want and the thing you hold closest to your heart is something he can’t or is struggling to give to you

after finding out maybe there’s more than a few nights where you wake up and see him sitting on an arm chair across from the bed and he just looks deep in thought and a little sad and no matter what you say it seems as though he doesn’t quite believe you. like he doesn’t believe that you don’t blame him, or that you’re not upset with him, and it’s not until the roles are reversed and one night he finds you sitting in the armchair at half past two in the morning, and he asks you what’s the matter and you respond with “i don’t know what to say to you to make you believe me”

he sees how heartbroken you look and he feels even worse than before, now getting out of bed and coming to your side, holding your hand and finally saying out loud that he’s scared he’s failed you as your partner, as your husband, and he wants so badly to be able to give you that family you’ve always wanted (and that he’s always wanted), but he can’t and he doesn’t know what to do with himself because of it

you squeeze his hand and maybe fix the hair that’s fallen over his forehead and tell him that if this is still something you both really want there’s other options for you. you can adopt or foster kids, try different treatments or ways of getting pregnant, your journey doesn’t have to end there

wilson wonders how he managed to luck out with you, being so understanding and not caring that maybe your family wouldn’t grow in the traditional way most did, but whatever happened the end goal and thought was the same, you wanted to raise children together and you would love them and they would be yours no matter where they came from

and maybe after some time processing, it becomes easier to discuss those other options and see what those routes would look like and it’s like there were never any hiccups and issues in the first place because you’re both just as excited as before to go on that journey of parenthood together even if it doesn’t look the way you originally thought it might

"Ásha Bragidóttir: The gray goddess"

Finally giving Ásha an official design and character information, that she deserves :3

Fun fact I've had the idea of her character around ever since 2020 and it after seeing this artical!!

Trivia: ⬇️

Ásha's name means "gray goddess"

I made her name using "Ása" (goddess) and the english world "Ash"

The reason her name meaning is gray goddess is because she has gray hair.

Why? Ásha has albinism!

Ásha is the adoptive daughter of Idunn and Bragi.

Her race and where she came from is sadly completely unknown.

They decided to take her in as an infant because they couldn't convince.

She's very sensitive to light and has very bad eyesight.

People often said she looked like Bragi's biological daughter, because of their shared gray hair.

Her titles are: "The goddess of creativity" and "The apple of Idunn's eye"

She's a cheerful girl but is quite shy!

Her favorite toys is a painted turtle and another wooden turtle.

She didn't survive Fimbulvinter and had just turned into a teenager by then.

She was buried in Idunn's garden.

(Not pregnant but TTC so hopefully soon 🤞)

My husband and I have been discussing different baby things like nursery/shower themes and stuff

We think we’ll eventually go with a Winnie the Pooh theme but being who I am I of course need lotr sprinkled in so it might just become more of a “woodland vibes” themed nursery/shower with elements of Pooh and lotr mixed in 😆😆

So what I’m trying to say is I think I need to eventually commission someone to draw the Winnie the Pooh characters as the Fellowship 🥲 that would be so cute

One Piece character’s reaction to you being infertile II

Warning: mentions of infertility, child abandonment, child abuse, slavery, and death.

Characters: Nami, Robin, Viola, Reiju, Handcock, and Perona

Nami

Nami loves you no matter what plus she never really wanted to get pregnant.

She lived her life with her adopted sister and mother.

Even after Bellemere’s death Nami only cared about her sister and village’s freedom.

Also, to help Luffy gain the one piece while making a map of the world.

She still loves kids so adopting is the best for her.

Robin

She is someone who had issues with wanting to be a mother.

Due to a horrible life living with her uncle’s family after her mother left when she was young.

She has a fear of starting a family including all the times she was on the run from the world government.

So you being infertile is a relief to her.

She still cares for kids and like Nami adoption is best for her.

Viola

As a princess she knows having an heir is important however due to the trauma caused by the death of her sister Scarlet and her having to service Doflamingo she is not ready to get pregnant or be intimate.

She just wants to help rebuild Dressrosa and spend time with her family.

You two can have a relationship but it is not confirmed now what your status on kids is.

Reiju

It’s not happening because even if you were fertile there is no way Judge would let it happen.

Judge altered Reiju's DNA to be a super soldier.

A pregnancy or relationship would ruin the Germa plan of ruling the North Blue.

If he finds out you two are dating it doesn’t matter if you are infertile, you're dead.

Handcock

She still hates men, so there is no way she is getting pregnant.

Especially with what she and her sisters went through as slaves.

Unless you are Luffy or female, she not dating you.

If you are one of those two then you can have a relationship with her but children are out of the question as Amazon Lilly already has a lot of female children on it.

Including animals as well is a no-no.

Perona

She never really thought of having kids.

For her cute teddy bears were all she needed along with Gecko Moria.

As long as you are okay with her teddy bear and having to wear a bear suit then you're fine.

Otherwise, prepare to be shot at with a negative hollow.

[castironnbitch]

ok thought exercise here

is damen sterile?

I’ve been thinking about this for literal weeks. How does that man not have bastards all over the capital? or all over the country

also: imagine how mad Halvik would be lmao

[hoseamatthewsandsilverdollar]

"Hey, kiddos. Take a seat. I got coffee on the brew."

DNI: NSFW asks (mod is a minor and sees Hosea as a father), proship, anti other hearted (therian and Otherkin), radqueer, and just bigoted in general, NSFW accounts, or not safe for children.

Age/pet regression friendly! Though there will be cursing!

Mod (Name: Forest) uses it/vamp/moss pronouns EXCLUSIVELY

Hosea uses he/him for sake of being in character

!!TW for infertility!!

I personally gave a headcanon that Bessie couldn't have kids. Hosea and had tried, but it never worked out. So, after Bessie passed, Hosea adopts every kiddo he can.

This is for gits and shiggles, honestly. It's not spoiler free and it might be OOC depending on the ask and/or situation.

Alright, have fun asking Hosea things <3

3.116 What if

One morning, I got up, determined to ease back into the SimTube game. I wasn't quite ready to make another video, so I opted to read and respond to comments, mostly apologizing for my absence. Scrolling and reading through them, I began to understand why my one video performed so well. The comments were predominantly from thirsty girls shooting their shots. It was kinda weird knowing women drooling over me fueled my success, but it got me paid, so... Sophia would have a field day with that one.

I heard her march downstairs, enter the bathroom, and turn on the tub. Minutes later, the toilet flushed. Then, the crying started. Though I loved and admired her tenacity, I couldn't take much more of her heartbreak. The treatments should have worked already. Was the doctor wrong? It felt like we were dealing with infertility, not low fertility. Suddenly, a heaviness accompanied by a random yet à propos thought fell on me. What if she wasn't the only one with a problem? What if I was the reason she hadn't gotten pregnant yet? As chilling as that thought was, it gave me a weird sense of hope. If I had a problem, maybe a doctor could fix it. I got up immediately and left the house as quietly as I could because I didn't want to Sophia hear me leaving while she was in there bawling her eyes out. I went to the hospital to get my fertility checked, and it turned out I too had low fertility. Of course I did. Nothing in my life was ever easy. The doctor gave me the same schpiel: try the treatments blah blah blah...artificial insemination yada yada yada...adoption and surrogacy womp womp womp. We were painfully aware of our options, but of course he didn't know that. I hadn't given up hope that we could birth our own child, but I knew Sophia wouldn't want us spending more time and money on those treatments, especially since we both needed them now. I told the doctor we would probably want to do IVF and asked if I could go ahead and leave a sample, and he said yes.

When I got home, Sophia was entertaining Chris Michaelson. We lived next door to them now, and he came to welcome us.

"Luca! Where'd you go?" she asked.

"Uhhh...I'll tell you later."

Seeing him under these circumstances reminded me Celeste had mentioned their children were adopted. I chatted and caught up with him for a bit, but when Sophia was out of earshot, I got down to business and asked him about his experience with adopting children. I hadn't realized Celeste was a trans woman, so they had always planned to adopt. Though their experience differed greatly from ours, I still enjoyed hearing about his life and the joy his children brought him. Time had flown by crazy fast, though. When I first met them, Orion, their daughter, was just a baby. Now she was in high school! And their son, Atlas, was married. I still felt as young as I was back then, but my birthday came barreling around the corner right behind Sophia's. Mama used to look at Less and I and jokingly ask us to stop growing. I totally understood what she meant now.

Speaking of Less, she texted me, inviting us to bar hop with her and some friends. First of all, since when did she have friends? Secondly, weren't we too old to be bar hopping like university students? Third, I didn't feel like being social. I had some potentially devastating news to share with my wife, and who knew if she would be up for it. Unfortunately for me, Sophia was nearby when my notification chime went off, and I made the mistake of groaning after reading the message. Naturally, she asked what was wrong, and I told her of the invite. She was in a good mood at the time and insisted I accept.

"Maybe that guy she was swooning about will be there," she said.

I did want to meet that schmuck and see what kind of spell he put on my sister. I also didn't want to ruin Sophia's good mood with my news, so I replied and told Less we'd be there. The tears could wait until tomorrow.

[pointyobjects]

"I found your wedding pictures...a while back…" she told him, softer. "I know I look like her-"

"Kagome-"

"And I know it must hurt to see your wife's face everyday, but that's not my fault. I don't want to be sent away because you're hurting-"

"She was my wife !" 

"And she was my mother !" Kagome shouted back. She'd never raised her voice at her father, and the sheer volume set her heart racing again. Kagome's father stood up so abruptly that his chair flew back behind him and tipped over. The sound of the wooden chair hitting the floor made Kagome flinch and step back. She used the moment of silence between them to gather her nerves and speak again. "You don't think I miss her too? That I don't think about her, and wonder if she would have been proud of me? What it would have been like to hold my baby brother? You think you're the only one in pain?"
