#also I have pettier grievances but I'll leave those be

[hazbincalifornia]

behold, another grumble about things that do not actually matter in the slightest but I want to say them anyway

it seems like there is a bit of a fankid resurgence on twitter but it seems that it’s partially led by stolaspreg stuff but I just... don’t feel the same about it with stolas as I do with bitz?

don’t get me wrong, I’m happy that people are okay with mpreg and I do think the trans stolas hc is good, but on just a character level, it’s more compelling with blitz for me, and idk how to say that without sounding like I’m raining on people’s parade.

Stolas already is fairly open and desperate for Blitz's affection and would love something tying them together from the get-go (although I could see him being somewhat blindsided by bigotry/hatred from other royals if he got swept up in his fantasy before reality crashed down on him).

Meanwhile, Blitzo is trying everything he can to avoid getting too attached, plus the additional layer of the fact that he already feels like Stolas has too much control over this thing they have and that he isn't worthy at the same time he thinks Stolas is kind of a pompous dick who could toss him aside if he wanted. 

Stolas knows things are a bit complicated but mostly gets swept away in the fantasy, Blitzo's far more in the dirt about the reality of the situation (even though he's too harsh about it on top of his attachment issues) so giving him the kid feels a lot more interesting, especially considering the Stolaspreg ones I have checked out don't go as in-depth and usually have Blitzo be pretty okay with it once he finds out. (Like I said before, getting rid of their messy dynamic entirely with either of them once they know about the baby in a canon timeline and not a jump-forward just... turns me off fics really fast, so I can genuinely count on one hand which of the 30ish mpreg fics in the tag I actually kept up with past chapter, like, five.)

If you enjoy it, more power to you, I do like seeing the art sometimes, but I’m still kind of just nursing my drink in the corner bc it’s another case of ‘surrounded by stuff that’s adjacent to my stuff but I can’t really get into’.
