IA and I think it's because I find newborn babies, or really most children up to at least 5 or 6, pointless and boring, personally

adds nothing to a story for me

[(Anonymous)]

2-3 year olds are like the best age.

[(Anonymous)]

You still can hardly talk to em like a human being at that stage

[mishey22]

I'm sorry you've known so many dumb children.

[kaijinscendre]

Yeah, my three year old nephew was talking very legibly. Even at two, he was pretty vocal.

[(Anonymous)]

They can talk legibly but do they have anything interesting to say? I think not.

[kaijinscendre]

They have all kinds of great stuff to say. I'd rather talk to a three year old over a teenager any day of the week. Have you only ever spent time with three year olds that were trapped in a windowless room and no toys their whole life?

[tree_and_leaf]

I agree they're a lot of fun in real life, but it's really hard to make them interesting in fiction.

It's really different for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I find babies and small children fascinating myself (though gross and annoying and frustrating at times), but I get that some people don't. In a fic, though, it's much more about how the canon characters act around and interact them that I enjoy because responsibility for someone very vulnerable and dependent can bring out some interesting, to me, character traits.

Re: It's really different for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I do understand the appeal of that construct. but for me, I usually prefer to see it in hurt/comfort types of things where an established character I know is put into a vulnerable and dependent situation.

Re: It's really different for me.

[(Anonymous)]

ayrt

Fair enough.

[(Anonymous)]

I kinda wanna ask "how do you feel about adult versions of kids that have been born in a previous storyline you disliked showing up from the future"

But idk if that's as common as i'm thinkingnit is

[dancingmouse]

I don't mind kids or babies being introduced, as long as the characters don't change because of it. For instance, if a BAMF has a kid, don't have them stop being a badass just because they did.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, this.

[nightscale]

Same honestly. I don't dislike the notion of a couple having kids in the future, or even getting a flash-forward to something like that. But I don't have any interest in watching a couple being parents while the canon is on-going. It just doesn't interest me on any level.

[(Anonymous)]

This. I'm all about future family stuff either where the kids are a bit older or just showing that the couple has kids in the future, I'm just not interested in reading about or watching the actual parenting part.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't mind if characters have a kid and if the kid/raising the kid becomes part of the story, but I hate when I get invested in characters in a book or book series only to have the author basically drop them in favor of writing about the kids, whether still as children or grown up.

[(Anonymous)]

1000000000% agreed

[(Anonymous)]

my arms aren't long enough for the jerk off motion in my soul.

[(Anonymous)]

Did you leave this comment on the wrong secret? Because it seems like a hilariously melodramatic overreaction.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks for making my comment a secret!

[greghousesgf]

for me it really depends on the character. Some characters seem very much to me like they'd want kids and some definitely DO NOT.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree. For me, it's because when people get pregnant/have babies on tv shows (or in stories/fic) it tends to make the story all about that (or at least, it places a lot of focus on it). It might be crime procedural but suddenly it's about the character going to birth classes and buying baby stuff, having problem pregnancies, finding babysitters etc If I wanted a baby storyline I'd watch a drama/romance. I just want to see someone get murdered and the case get solved through great detective work.

[(Anonymous)]

lmao even worse is when they try to make the bio kids the new MC and they shit on everything the previous MC stands for while still trying to nostalgia bait.

Looking at you Naruto/Boruto and Harry Potter/Cursed Child.
