Child-repulsed Illumi headcanon, anyone?

I keep seeing fics/headcanons where Illumi has a massive breeding kink/is desperate for children of his own which... yeah sure. I see where you're all coming from there. I don't hate it or even necessarily disagree...

BUT... Am I the only one who can also see the total opposite being possible?

Think about it, he spent first decade or two of his life forced to act as a parent figure to not one, not two, not three but FOUR younger siblings. I can very easily imagine that now he's an adult/living independently, the idea of having to deal with any more kids is just... Absolute nightmare fuel for him.

Imagine, a totally child-repulsed Illumi. An Illumi who is borderline obsessed with birth control, insisting on AT LEAST two methods of contraception before even considering PIV sex... Illumi tracking his partner's menstrual cycle so he can AVOID sex when she's most fertile. Illumi that panics if his partner is late by a day or two and who may even resort to trying to force them into getting permanently sterilised. An Illumi who just wants to spend the rest of his life enjoying nice furniture, walls that haven't been scribbled on, being able to safely own breakable ornaments, having nice clothes that are not stained by various children's bodily fluids, quiet evenings spent reading or watching movies that are rated 18+, eating dinners that don't involve chicken nuggets and nights where he can sleep for a full 8 hours uninterrupted... Illumi who has zero interest in ever having kids. (If Silva and Kikyo want grandchildren, they can ask any of their other 4 offspring to provide them, because Illumi is DONE. He's not even the family heir, so why does it even matter to them if he has kids or not?)

Charm doesn't have age - Lgbtq media

Having a mini rant at how fast paced the entertainment industry is, churning new actors/sses while benching others as soon as they near 25 or 30/35.

It exists in Holywood, but it's across all entertainment - eg :

- having older actors plays role meant for older leads - eg politicians, shop owners, ceo.

- have older/more complex storylines showcasing older actors, let them mature on the vine

- a more naturalist cinematography with less heavy filtering and more highlighting of each actor individual beauty (moles, slight wrinkles, white hair

- less of an idol bootcamp / idols competition into marketing absolutely sanded down comercialisable products.

I'm actually grateful for the few Japanese and taiwanese shows that seems to lean more into it and/or give cameo to their older actors into newer shows.

Some fans didn't understood the older teacher romance in the only one/mou mou but it highlighted the complexity of the queer experience for older people. Similar dynamics with a younger cast in the Japanese Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru.

Being older doesn't automatically mean being more mature, or having less internalised homophobia or being settled in life. It might or it might not.

The queer experience hasn't been universal, and has been going through different cycles leaving across every generation its own trauma and sadness

Asian lgbqt media has been key in helping lgbq rights and has had a inspirational role into showing acceptance of queer love and marriage equality, leading to its legalisation in Thailand or Taiwan for instance.

As a 30+ queer person, i dream of those cinematographers also giving us exposure and views on love and acceptance while growing older (and sexier).

Love that in real life, people still pronounce homestuck character names WILDLY differently

actually i do have a few more thoughts. i think, to me, at least by the start of the series dean doesn't really have the kind of power over sam that would facilitate a one-sided abuser/victim dynamic. he doesn't actually abduct sam from his dorm room, he doesn't put a gun to his head and force him to come look for dad - my read of that scene is dean, scared, begging sam to come help him, because he can't cope alone. and sam goes because despite everything he does care about his brother and yeah, even his dad - dean doesn't have to manipulate him into it (though that's not to say we don't see manipulative behaviour at other points). sam is given outs, opportunities to leave, multiple times; dean offers to let him leave, and i don't think it's a false offer - it would have hurt him badly if sam took it but i don't think he would have tried to stop him. and when sam does go, in 1x11, it's not like dean hunts him down and forces him to come back, outside circumstances do that. and it's clear to me, too, that sam wants to go back to him! and dean is clingy, they are codependent, dean wants sam with him more than just about anything else, but i don't think that's unrequited. they both display pretty much equivalently extreme behaviour to keep the other one alive, to keep the two of them together. and i think dean is often at sam's mercy, emotionally, possibly even more than sam is at his - their relationship is often on uneven footing, but i don't think dean has the upper hand any more than sam does.

Sometimes I think about how when I was in sixth grade I wrote a “book” with a one bed trope, but I had absolutely no idea what it meant to have one bed so it went something like:

Character 1: oh no there were only enough leaves on this deserted island for one bed

Character 2: I guess that means we’ll have to share it

Character 1: well you know what people do when they share one bed

Character 2: …

Character 1: …

Character 2: …

Character 1: sleep
