Besides eating the Merciless Pepper of Quetzalacatenango.

I want to have my own kid, but I'm waiting for Souha to feel comfortable about it.

...that'll probably take a while. Just saying.

...also, I kinda feel like you'd skip the hard parts. Which could mess your kids up.

...not that they probably wouldn't get messed up in some way or another, given how things go, but still.

[thefifthmonarch]

... I'd prefer to do the early parts elsewhere, where there aren't so many people.

Eh, I consider the "messed up" a feature, not a bug.

[pureplainpatron]

I suppose that's fine, just so long as you don't skip them entirely. Formative years are important, you know.

Well, to be fair, it can be. But it can also be a very, very bad thing. Spoiled, sadistic, or just so closed off that they can't function among others, or maybe even a danger to themselves.

My main concern and this is nothing on Souha or anyone else, consider that my children would be part me, and have that power.

... What's wrong with spoiled or sadistic.

[pureplainpatron]

...that is a fair concern. Probably better to have them learn control before introducing the squishies.

Spoiled depends on degree, but you yourself know how isolating it can be... plus, just look at Moeko.

Sadistic is pretty bad in general. If they learn to control it it's not bad, but it can go bad places very easily.

[thefifthmonarch]

Yes. I'd prefer to take them off world, but I'll be talking to Souha about that.

... I think I turned out pretty well despite being spoiled.

Sadism without love or compassion is always terrible, no one would argue that, Erland. But it isn't always a negative trait.
