Warnings: Mentions of sex & pregnancy, b/c I know that makes some people Uncomfy.

So it's pretty obvious that being here changes people in ways that can sometimes be hard to expect, what with all the magic and monstrous traits but does anyone know if there are impacts on other biological functions?

Like...

Well.

[God, how do they say this without giving up the ghost entirely. They can't just come out and SAY things. They would rather die.]

Does being undead impact what vampires are capable of? Do the animalistic traits of most other monsters impact other physical aspects besides what's visible? Turning into a monster is basically like going through some bizarro puberty so, like. What's up with that?



Basically I'm asking if monsters can get pregnant or do they become infertile like some of the hybrids that exist in real life - obviously native ones aren't but does being something else before change that?

[Now it's time to go hide in shame and embarrassment and try not to think about the turn their life has taken.]

Wait

Would anyone have an opportunity to find out?

[She's still on pain meds for her, leg. Don't make her think about this shit plz.

She didn't need to think about how babies worked when she was turning into a bug. Didn't they lay eggs? Fuck...]

People have been here just over a year now. I don't think it'd have happened yet if it can...

[polterguide]

Well, depending on their partners, if people are having sex there's a chance pregnancy can happen if you're not taking the adequate precautions. I admittedly haven't looked into what sort of birth control is available here, so that's on me, but...

Idk. You'd think the Coven or something would be able to say, like, "hey, turning into a monster is gonna seriously fuck with your body in these specific ways".

[polterguide]

[It's too late, Mikasa, now you have to think about your potential weird mantis babies.]

...I mean, typically pregnancies only take nine months, so someone could've popped one out already if they didn't waste time getting to it.

[stopfen]

But...what about money and baby things?

[But planning?? But even then, her voice was trailing, tapering as she struggled.]

[polterguide]

If people actually considered that there'd be a lot less babies around.

[Sometimes these things just happen... And that's okay. Sometimes. Depends, really.]

[stopfen]

I heard that people had to want it here... That's why there's less than back home.

You know, I actually wondered about that myself!
Except I was thinking specifically about if there were any male Monsters that had seahorse as part of their type... (´⊂_｀人)

[He's not sure whether that would be a merrow or a chimera, but clearly a valid question.]

It seems like a lot of Mirrorbound are in relationships, though, and I don't think anyone's gotten pregnant yet?
So with how long people have been here it's probably not an issue (●´ω｀●)ゞ

[Read: people have been here considerably longer than nine months and likely been banging for that time, it's fine, probably.]

[faithlikeaseed]

Right

My assumption was we were all using wither stock

wither s t a l k,

or not doing anything to risk a pregnancy since we can disappear at any time though given folk have gotten children in riskier situations that's optimistic of me.

[See: Every mage pregnancy he'd ever heard about, ever.]

Also I don't think the Coven knows enough about us yet to say that they're still operating in a world where monsters grow up knowing what they'll be and how they change

We're already different

[hoboagogo]

pretty sure i read someplace that thats how chimeras happen
like a naga and a harpy get together and end up with a snake-bird-person kid
but who knows

i dunno why us being here would change that but who knows. that aint something i feel like testing out.

why you having a scare or something

[rollfordiplomacy]

Thinking upon it, I've not known of any who are seeking out a pregnancy. If any are, they would be the one to ask.

[While he might be correct about this, in the case of Mirrorbound, he straight up doesn't think accident babies are possible. In Myddvai they aren't! Both parties need to want a child, this is basic stuff.

He'll be baffled if anybody informs him otherwise]

[faithlikeaseed]

That had been my thinking since I assumed we were all taking precautions or not in the right combinations but serah cherrypit is right that accidents happen

[rollfordiplomacy]

What precautions for what accidents?

[oh lord here we go]

[faithlikeaseed]

[oh maker here we go]

Accidental pregnancies?

[do they...just call them something else on myddvai...or has myr stumbled into the Weird Zone once more]

[rollfordiplomacy]

[the absolute confidence for which Everett types these words would knock someone off their feet]

That could not possibly occur, that would be horrifying.

[faithlikeaseed]

[weird zone it is]

Oh

We need to talk about this one in person dearheart I think

[bergamotrose]

[This was.... quite the question.]

Dear Cherrypit,

Is there a particular reason why you are worried over such a matter? I have resided in this town for nearly a year, and this is the first conversation I have seen or heard on the subject.

Given our uncertain circumstances, I would certainly HOPE that the non-native residents like ourselves are... infertile, as you say. It would be far too difficult and complex if that weren't so.

-LHG

[rollfordiplomacy]

What is there to talk about? That can't be possible.

I would certainly have a throng of children if so.

[weird flex, but okay]

[polterguide]

[oh no what is happening]

I mean, it’s not great, but it happens. A lot. Like, way too much.

-/dropping in

[bergamotrose]

Sir Everett,

Is this truly not a matter among your people? A great many young Nobles in Fodlan would appreciate if such were true in our homeland!

[faithlikeaseed]

[ohhhh nooooooooo]

It's regrettably very possible on Thedas for a woman to become pregnant against her wishes

[rollfordiplomacy]

This cannot be a serious assertion. There would be so many unwanted children!

[rollfordiplomacy]

[no niceties when Everett is SO DISTRAUGHT]

Certainly not! Children can only spring from those who wish to have a child. Perhaps not to raise that child together, my people do not as such, but it can't merely happen! Out of random chance? This sounds wildly absurd.

[polterguide]

Yeah, that’s why adoption exists.
