> this 'lc' is more of a Hate Child, so she doesn't really count. minerva barely does any parenting so it's more like "ruki's oc lior does all the child rearing while minerva visits once in a blue moon." it was me getting attached to barbara's design and Keeping Her and then becoming endeared once i heard a bit about lior raising her
> again, it made sense for nazanin to be resistant to the idea of kids while actively being in her Villainess Era and being all about Destruction rather than Creation, but now i can't imagine her NOT being a mom? she does mature once she lets go of her petty revenge fantasies and see the appeal of having a family of her own
> (i do not have an icon for shirlee) another special case where it's an lc that was like accidentally adopted rather than purposely birthed or anything. shirlee exists whether jolene and anita are together or not, but the dynamic between her and jolene varies depending on that fact since jolene sucks ass at being Around without a reason lol
i drew shirlee in tg au once and she was like jolene's attendant after an injury and started sticking around because she could see jolene being a danger to herself and others <3 (not canon atm but who knows)
> lol giving doralee an lc was easy as shit once zey blessed her with a wonderful wife <3 i can't see her having kids when she goes full Forest Woman mode, but routes where she does like have a home and is able to envision a family is much easier. then in tg au there isn't anything to STOP her from having kids so she obviously did!!!!!
i absolutely cannot see it at the moment and she has way too many personal problems to have kids atm she is also very young and is petrified of the idea of being relied upon since she really doesn't think she has what it takes. i don't know what would need to happen for her to change her mind about having kids, but hey!
i imagine it'd take many years to progress to a point where this is a possibility. i get the feeling she'd be the kind of parent that would encourage her kids to fight back if they ever get bullied, especially considering that was what got her to stop long ago--
i feel like vida is so young and immature i cannot imagine her as a parent either. she's very selfish and would not understand the idea of making sacrifices/compromises for the sake of The Children. she can barely handle the idea of her friends hanging out more with other people, you think she can handle A Child??? this one is for now an Unlikely
ruby doesn't want kids because she's approaching her mid-40s and her priorities just don't mesh with the idea of having a kid atm. she was more open to it when she was younger, but now that she is at this age, she gets sad when she envisions herself being like 70 when her kid is only 20. so, she's probably the one i can say for sure is a No
ruby believes children deserve a parent who can fully keep up with them and keep them happy. she seems youthful and full of energy, but she tries to maintain 'realistic' expectations of what she'll be capable of in a couple of years. also, she's already basically parenting the entirety of sugar haven so o__o
considering how much barbara in theory Fucks, she has probably had a few pregnancy scares, but def terminates them immediately. i also cannot see her having kids, but considering i couldn't see it for her mom either, i could maybe envision it if she went a similar route of 'I Found A Child.' probs no biological children tho
long version of that lol is that kittiya is SO selfish, she'd be a HORRIBLE mom! she is bad at feelings and comfort and is just in general not interested in the idea of having kids at all. even if she had like an endgame ship of some kind, i can't really say i can see it happening.
aome does want children!! she thinks it'd be really cool!!! but thinks of kids like babies in the sims: like objects. she loves the idea of them, but doesn't understand really how much effort and work it takes to raise children. she thinks if you give them candy now and again and a pat on the head, it'll all turn out fine
i feel like she'd be an irresponsible mother as a result. she has no concept of good parenthood and would be confused if anyone tried to provide her with direction.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL PART 2 (cleo is way too selfish and has zero interest in having kids. i can kind of envision it if a partner already had a kid and the kid started hovering around cleo and cleo got a lil endeared, but i think it'd still be mostly surface level 'parenting.' maybe if you went the Frog Slowly Being Boiled route)
tbh i mused with the idea of eden having a kid, but later decided against it. she probably thinks about it now and again, but when she thinks long enough about it decides against it. if her other partner was supportive enough maybe, but presently i can't imagine it. also, she's suuuuper new, so i have no idea tbh!!!!
and since uber talked about rozalin prattana's knee jerk reaction to parenthood is fear she won't have the energy to meet their emotional needs since she already works as a therapist, but i think once she finds a healthier work-life balance it'd be possible. presently when she isn't working, she's doing psych research
and doing her home improvement hobbies. she takes them so seriously they start feeling like a job, like staying up super late just to bid on a new table and waking up dead the next morning. so she is often dozing off from overloading on Stuff To Do. but again, once she eases off on doing things at all hours, it's totally possible!!!!!
i forgot my spark notes Will Likely Have Kids Could have kids if the development is right Accidental Adoption is like the only route please. no. would in theory be a good mom, but shall not
me forgetting barbara already is technically a mother of 4 stinky children that live inside of her walls (she barely does any parenting tho) that is accidental adoption tho
i've been sort of ruminating on what gen 2 means to me and i think the ONEEEE context i can see ruby having a gen 2 is taking in like a teen or adult runaway.... i've fancied the idea of ruby being a pillar of support to queer kids and encouraging their creativity for a long while
ruby's other viewpoint about parenting is there are so many kids that never got the chance to experience the unconditional love of a parent, so she'd love to give those kids the love they need
spark notes for my npcs just for fun Will Probably Have Kids (< late 30s parent probs, too busy girlbossing) already have children (only shimakages, but they're basically her kids) please. no would spontaneously combust if a child drooled on them are children
i realized eddie and lorna are my great-grandkids because jolene is my daughter, so doralee is my granddaughter, then eddie and lorna's children would be like my gen 4 rather than gen 3. fucked up.
I was thinking passively about how my ocs would acquire gen 2s and I was tangentially like "haha aome kinda has a hachiko from nana vibe" then remembered how hachiko acquired a child and
I'd probably make the "(ex-)husband" a faceless npc since I don't think anyone would want their oc to occupy that role in Aome's life (but of course, if someone DID want to have their oc be that for her, I'd be down)
