Just a matter of time, I suppose.

1. Because I'm a slowpoke, I decided to catch up on the Watchmen kinkmeme. Inevitably, I stumbled across forced impregnation egg laying mpreg and because it is Not My Thing I had a visceral squick reaction LIKE THIS

Your reaction amuses me! Funnily enough I thought of something you said a couple of moons ago about mpreg and Watchmen.

You should totally buy some rum for the author.

no. 11 icon is my favourite panel from the gn. Dan looking sad next to his costume ;_;

[scarlet_carsons]

Rum egg nogs for everyone. Just don't ask where the eggs came from.

I remember when the movie came out and there was a deluge of porny fanworks, and some people were like, 'whelp, at least there's no Rorschach mpreg yet.' Look how far we've come. *sniff*

To be honest, I'm fine with mpreg as long as I can get past the 'men don't have babies! This is SILLY' barrier. Forced pregnancy where the mother loses her* bodily autonomy is a bulletproof squick, though. It makes me want to tear my uterus out and drop kick it through a window. I read it anyway, because I'm morbid. The Handmaid's Tale made me twitch like Galvani's frog. /tmi

Anyway, I digress. I ought to upload the full pic for no. 11, as it's painted in these grimy-looking watercolors and it's actually quite pretty. A while ago, I was going to post a load of Watching the Watchmen scans to scans_daily, but someone beat me to it, and their scans were better.

*Or his, because we're in magical fanfic land.

Yes, I remember you celebrating the absence of mpreg! I loved the tone of the first one :)

About the forced mpreg (Ror by Adrian), I was so tempted to write a fixit. That really squicked me, although part of me admired the idea and the writing and felt that it was needed to sort of balance the fluff (this is Watchmen, we SIMPLY MUST have dark edgy literature! NO HAPPY).

scans-daily: I haven't got a handle on that community, partly because I'm so out of it with current comics. All of my collection is early 90s at the latest and I reckon if someone hasn't already posted up what I got or it isn't available in reprint, there may not be enough interest in it anyway.

Heh, I don't remember doing that. Man, I shouldn't hate on mpreg, it's a pretty harmless kink. The vast majority of it makes me laugh in an uncomfortable sort of way, though.

Oh god, me too. Although it wouldn't have been a fixit per se, just an attempt to make his quality of life slightly better, because I couldn't see a way to get around the creepifying weirdness. I was actually quite envious of the sheer bizarre unpleasantness of it, because there's no friggin' way I'd DARE to write something like that. The idea alone makes me want to crawl under my desk and hide.

I'll see if I can find the scans and upload them anyway, because they're eye candy.

forced impregnation egg laying mpreg
Egg laying? Please do tell me I got this wrong because English is not my native language. Egg laying?

I don't get squicked by mpreg, but I generally find it ridiculous. There was only one fic I ever liked, but it was Harry Potter and "It's magic" is a wonderful, wonderful explanation for everything in this fandom. x3

Also, totally snagging this meme. (Where's icon #13 from? It looks cracktastic.)

I'm sorry, but you've probably got it right. :(

Guys. Laying eggs.

Anything is possible with science!

Y'know, I wouldn't discount a good fic just because it has mpreg in it, but it doesn't do a lot for me as an emotional kink, and the thought of assbabies hurts my brain.

Icon #13 is from this scene in Showgirls, which is a world of terrible.

[ayascythe]

Guys. Laying eggs.
But. Whyyyy? I can see why people would write mpreg, but with eggs?

and the thought of assbabies hurts my brain
There was one fic that used a C-section as an explanation on how the baby was born which I actually found logical. I don't know how it's with other fics, but the thought of pushing a baby out of one's ass isn't very appealing.

I'm not sure, but I suspect it started as an Easter thing, and the Watchmen kinkmeme LOVES crack - the weirder, the better. I always feel painfully vanilla when I read the stuff posted there.

I always think of goatse.

Yeah, when I caught up on reading the kink meme a few days ago, I skipped the forced impregnation egg-laying mpreg. There are a few fandoms in which I'd be willing to give egg laying mpreg a go. Watchmen... is not one of them.

[scarlet_carsons]

As a work of bizarro horror fiction, it totally worked, but... gah. What has been seen cannot be unseen. It was like the Watchmen fandom randomly had a baby with the /f/ board on gurochan.

FAT DIRTY FARTS.

[findmyantidrug]

I couldn't bring myself to read the forced egg-laying. You are a braver soul than I.

[scarlet_carsons]

I think it broke me, though.

There are some things that mortal minds should not comprehend.
