From secret #1

[(Anonymous)]

Do you want or have kids?

Did you ever adamantly not want kids, then change your mind? Or have you always never wanted kids and still don't?

Re: From secret #1

[(Anonymous)]

When I was younger I thought ehhh, maybe it'd be nice to have a kid someday. It wasn't because I desperately wanted one or anything, it just seemed like the thing people do when they reach adulthood, along with getting married and getting a job. By the time I graduated college, I thought... nah actually I'm good. I'm 40 now. No kids, no plans to have any, and no regrets about not having kids.

Now that I think about it, I don't often see many female characters like that. Either characters my age or older have kids, or they have regrets because they didn't/couldn't.

Don't have them, don't want them, never wanted them. Have been screeched at when asked, "Well what if you accidentally got pregnant!" I responded with, "I would have an abortion."

I wouldn't adopt out because personally I do not feel I could be pregnant and then give it away, and then I'd just resent the child for being in my life, no child deserves that.

But I thank them for reminding me why I don't have sex at all because the thought of 'accidentally' getting pregnant fucking terrifies me.

Re: From secret #1

I absolutely want kids. I didn't want kids when I was younger, because I didn't want to settle down and couldn't even imagine life after 30. Now I'm getting close to that age and sadly, with biology and whatnot, am starting to realize if I want them, I probably need to start thinking about how I'll make that happen. I'm a lesbian, so there's that, and I've found a lot of lesbians don't want kids, so at this point I probably wouldn't pursue a serious relationship with someone who didn't. And it can't happen accidentally.

I honestly might just pop into a sperm bank in a couple of years if there's no traction on finding a serious partner. You can just like... do that, right? I'm less interested in being married than I am having a kid.

Re: From secret #1

I've never wanted kids. I'm very lazy and selfish and I know I wouldn't be a good parent. I do like kids and I love working with them, but I'm happy to return them to their parents at the end of the day.

Re: From secret #1

[(Anonymous)]

never. never never never and I'm in my 40s. never never never, both low-key casual and screechingly adamant about it because in the 90s being low-key casual never actually got through anyone's thick head no matter how nice I tried to be about it.

I have a decent-sized friend group and of them, the only one who went baby-crazy is one who did express interest in children all along. over the past 10 years everyone who has ever said no thanks has stuck to their guns and never changed. they're all in their 30s, too.

Re: From secret #1

[kaijinscendre]

I don't want kids ever. But if I ever need to adopt any of my nieces or nephews for some reason, I will do so happily. I think kids are awesome, I just don't want any of my own.

Re: From secret #1

[(Anonymous)]

No and I even like kids, but value my free time, want to retire early, and get stressed easily, so it'd be a bad combo.

I can't really remember feeling one way or another when I was younger.

Re: From secret #1

[dani_phantasma]

Eventually.

I've flip flopped on that for a long time and decided that I'm probably going to adopt.

Re: From secret #1

[nightscale]

Nope.

Never wanted them as a kid, still don't want them at nearly 30. I've never liked children much, babies even less and every time someone tells me 'I'll change my mind' it only strengthens my resolve to not have them because fuck me I will prove you wrong.

I'd also be a horrible parent and I would never want to inflict that on a child.

What fandom trends do you dislike?

thumbs way down

What fictional child character would you want to adopt?

[(Anonymous)]

For those who want/have kids, what fictional kid would you like to adopt or wish was your own?

Reclaiming kink meme fills

[(Anonymous)]

I'm revisiting an old kink meme and realising there's work I wrote anonymously years ago there, that I'd actually really like to claim and put under my current pseud. Is that a weird thing to do? I guess I'm paranoid people will think I'm just picking random fics and claiming credit for them, but they're definitely mine.

Do you ever repost anonymous fills un-anon? Why or why not?

Error message?

injury to order [TW: probable self harm?]

[(Anonymous)]

Hey FS, say, I want to mutilate a character in a fic, I'm not sure how, googling wasn't very helpful and I dare not yet go ask little_details

Setting: equivalent to nowadays big city in the US.
Character is a male in his early twenties, physically fit but mentally as unstable as needed to be.
I want him to injure his dominant hand in a way that causes loss of sensation and motricity--can be partial, ie not on the whole hand, but permanent--no recovery.

I don't think nerve damage through cutting would do it, because he's more likely to hold the blade with the dominant hand and do it on the opposite side hand?

I've thought about burning: suppose he puts his hand atop a lit big church candle, how fast would it snuff out the flame? how bad would the burn on his palm be?

Other possibility, punching a mirror and have the glass shards cut everything. Is it even possible?

What do you think?
Any other idea?

How much tech is TOO much tech?

[(Anonymous)]

I work in a chain office supply/technology shop for the time being, and for the life of my, I can't wrap my head around half the crap it sells. Especially fitbits and those Google Home things. It just seems creepy to have a computer know your every move - even while you're asleep, in the case of fitness trackers.

[(Anonymous)]

The only time I ever even entertain the idea of wanting bio kids is when I'm feeling verklempt about my parents bloodline ending. But that's a dumb reason and I still have no desire to be pregnant and I don't even really like kids. I'm the monster who's just as likely to be annoyed by a baby's laugh as I am to be enamored by it. So don't get me started on screeching a d screaming.

(Potentially gross but minor medical stuff. Abscess advice?)

[syncing_feeling]

This weird, huge and incredibly painful lump just turned up on the side of my hip. I'm thinking abscess because it's so red and hot to the touch, and even my clothing lightly brushing it makes me want to cry. I've been doing the whole routine of hot/moist compresses to try and clear it, but it's just getting bigger. >:[

I'm working Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday so won't have time to get to a GP til Thursday. Sleep is a nightmare because even lying on my back/opposite side there's still just enough pressure on it to keep me awake. Advice, FS? I've been Googling but everywhere is just saying hot compresses, and no dice there. Grumble.
