lol I just signed back into msb and typed “ovulation” into the search. And. There’s a lot going on.

@Roz Weird, I assumed it wasn’t because of this:
But you’re right, I can get into it from the topics page.

Here is the start of The Ovulation Thread. Legitimate CW for a guy saying some nasty shit, including violent insults. I laughed at the ones directed at me but I know they were a lot more unpleasant for others. Also CW for a guy being really gross and reductive about reproductive issues.
-
@helvetica I swear I’m usually better at internets than this…
-
@Snackness I know there’s a joke here somewhere to make fun of ovulation guy but I just don’t have it in me to make it.

Before we start talking about being 42 years old, how long have the fuck fruit been around? Has the priesthood always been in control? Was this used to regulate births before the eldritch horror twins? What happens if there are twins? Are there two horrors?
And the jams!!

did anyone else notice that one of the most recent threads over there is about sperm getting stolen? Connection to fuck fruit??? I think so.

@Pavel Motherfucker, I’m literally eating lunch right now at work.

The Ortallus debacle brought back fewer bad memories than I expected, and does offer some joy in rediscovering all the epic, effortless dunks people got in.

@Tez omg twinshit, my favorite

There was a specific subgroup of folks on owod changeling places that loved to have magical twins, but after a few games that wasn’t enough so magical triplets started to happen. I never saw it pushed past that into higher higher order multiples clearly no one was hardcore enough.

This… is so strange to me. I think I recall that in the oWoD Changeling book it specifically mentions that Changelings having kids tends to be terrible.
Some Changelings think that having kids just gets them these effortless Glamour production machines, but in reality what generally happens is that the parents have to give up their own dreams to take care of the kid. So most Changelings who have kids end up quickly becoming Grumps or outright falling to the Mists.
Either that, or they get a visit from Child Protective Services and suddenly have to deal with the entirety of Banal bureaucracy landing on their heads. And that, in turn, might invite the notice of less savory Prodigals.
Basically, taking care of kids is really, really difficult and a responsibility you can’t shirk without inviting ever greater scrutiny and headaches.
But I guess those folks who engaged in magical multiple births just ignored the consequences.

Literally the most accurate thing any WoD book has ever suggested.
-
@STD You are really kind of making me want to play a manic pixie dream mama. But I suppose that’s really just Mary Poppins, isn’t it?
-
yes, it was very much a case of ignoring that in favor of picking out the flavors for the magical babies and yes not reading the theme/source material.
No, I don’t really understand the appeal, but there are things I like that other people are like lol what. But at least usually they’re things in the lore/source that fascinated me while being boring/horrifying to others!

@Roz Well, WoD has certainly made up for lost time, now.

@STD Oh its weirder than that. Changeling do not age while they are in the Dreaming and/or Freeholds. So it is totally possible your Kinain child has grown older than you.
They can learn Arts and Realms, too, and since they are immune to cold iron, why not make faerie bargains with them to help fite the bad things?
… incidentally, this could also be why Changelings hook up with Kinain, to have a ‘real’ parent around while they are out playing pretend with the others.
Or, if you want to look at it in a less Unseelie way, Commoners do the ‘village to raise a child’ approach, and Nobles do Lords and Ladies ‘have the help raise the child for me’ thing.
