@Roz I wouldn’t be surprised if there will be a way to investigate why/how or if there can be change is part of the things that can be done just because of other ways the metaplot seems to be leading to finding out why the rifts are happening/if there is another reason/why did they only start a few generations ago/what were things really like before, ect
But I’m not staff and don’t know for sure.

@mietze Okay, every birth event being a cosmic horror experience is both relevant to my interests and makes this whole thing sound twenty times more interesting.

I am not a fan of pregnancy RP but sometimes it can help stories along for plots or people (people being those that find RPing about babies and stuff fun). To have to jump through hoops to ‘have a child’ is not my cup of tea. Unless once you eat this fruit you are for sure going to have the spawn child you want, I don’t find the idea appealing.
On Atharia I basically went ‘Baby prevention is flawless. Both people involved take a pill (I think that is what I decided) and have pretty much have all their life. Both need to decide not to take it for a spawn child to be born. There is no ‘surprise baby’ for people. (I forget exactly how I phrased it and am lazy to look)’ I feel like I addressed the ‘surprise you’re a parent!’ issue people like to do. I did leave in the option for people to decide to have a bastard child but the parents have actively made the choice to have one, making them the scandal, not the child. The child is accepted and treated as their station dictates (a child born of a noble and commoner union, for example, can be either noble or common, depending on the parents decisions/contracts) by Atharia’s society while the parents get the backlash. They are actively making the choice to have the child.

There are so many questions.
If everyone in the game world is infertile, then what other changes are there? Do people menstruate? How common is sex, and how common is sexual impotence? Do people in this world where only fruit can make babies have a biological urge to have sex? Does the fruit, in addition to making your eggs drop and your wigglies wiggle, act as an aphrodisiac? Are people even sexually dimorphic when not under the effects of the fuck-fruit?
What’s society like? What are the requirements to get a fuck-fruit? Are birth rates keeping up with rates of death? Is it a culture in which medicine has advanced to the point that you don’t need to have eight kids because the first seven are probably gonna die of strep throat?
I’m not even mad, just really wanting answers.
-
@GF You’re digging too deep, lol.
In Occam I trust.
-
I’m just happy to now have the term ‘fuck-fruit’
-
@Coin no, I also want these answers. Let’s talk about ovulation.
-
@Coin See, I don’t think I’m even digging! These are just the questions that occurred instantly to me! More have been popping into my head as time goes by, a lot of them feeling really icky, like “what happens when you feed a fuck-fruit to a child” that I really hope DON’T get answered.
-
No talking about ovulation without an ovulation expert on hand, preferably a man who has met many women.
-
@GF also like, fuck-fruit only blooms once a year. Does the whole population have birthdays within a two-three month span? Did they figure out a way to preserve the fuck-fruit? Is it jam? Do they dry the seeds and grind them, like powdered fuck-fruit spice? It would be harder to monitor if you had to store it like that, people could easily swipe a pinch.
-
My peeve is when people subtweet my game instead of just naming it. How am I supposed know where to go to delve into the intricacies of menstruation and seminal emissions in my setting?

Oh gosh, this would be so interesting. I would absolutely play a game where humans were basically sex-neutral until they ate a catalyst and suddenly gained sexual organs. Especially if it wasn’t fixed and you couldn’t guarantee which ‘organs’ you would gain with each dose. What’s THAT society look like?
-
You’re here now so please. We have burning questions about jam
-
no one tell the ovulation guy about the game

Have you read The Left Hand of Darkness? It’s a classic, by Ursula Le Guin, and the humans are gender neutral (though they use ‘he’ pronouns) unless they are “in kemmer,” at which point they develop male or female sexual characteristics depending on circumstances.
The main character is a foreigner, from a human population that does not have any ambisexual phases. His landlady, to whom he tends to ascribe feminine characteristics based on his behavior, says on the subject of children something like, “Sired six, bore none,” and seems a little resigned about that. It’s news when the king gets pregnant, though he’s sired children before. And so on.

@Tributary being disappointed you never had to carry/birth a child?
FAKE
cancel Ursula K Leguin, whoever that hack isfr fr

@GF I wish I could upvote fuck-fruit more than once.

When I turned 42 this year he was the first person I thought of, for better or worse.
Here to say, I’ve been around people having ovulation all my life and it’s nice to reach the age where I can definitively say it’s not a big deal.
