OP

[(Anonymous)]

It's the tendency of some of writers to completely rewrite a character's personality around their new, fecund role in life.

I 100% feel you on this. I actually posted a secret once, years ago, that was basically about how much I hate the whole, "[Character] had never felt a love this profound before; nothing had ever felt this meaningful; it was like the center of their world had shifted and become this one small, perfect being," schtick that shows up constantly in narratives that involve giving birth. Like, I get that many people do feel this way IRL and I respect that. But it's not something I can personally relate to and it isn't something I want to relate to either. Something about it just gives me the ick (in fiction ofc; IRL if someone feels that way, good for them).

Plus it definitely is fairly common for the character who bears the children to be written as, like, soft and sensitive and feely and nurturing and living for their family in a way that I really, really don't enjoy.

Basically, yeah, I have very ambivalent feelings about mpreg, and I totally relate to and share many people's reasons for not liking it. It's really just the whole "Out the BUTT??!" reaction that makes me roll my eyes.

I have seen some Lucifer fics like that (prior the mess of Season 6) and made me groan pretty hard. Yes, Lucifer never felt love until he meets Chloe, but he didn't feel anything for Charlie as a baby (more than "oh he's so cute... not take him back"), he wouldn't stare at his kid and say "they're so perfect like mommy!" (but that's another story due Lucifer's trauma with Dad's treatment on him).
