#my dash is currently overflowing with Illumi breeding kink fics/posts and it's getting a little overdone

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?)
