Bonus Doodles - Biological Retribution (tw anti-birth? sort of?)

A piece I had swimming around in my head awhile. The concept is a couple being ejected from the Garden of Eden and their punishment is the eternal burden of reproduction. Just.... thinking a lot about people being forced to give birth lately, for some reason, y'know.

It's kind of funny, for as much mpreg and omegaverse I draw, I find the concept of birth irl kinda squicky? Not a criticism of people who love it irl! I think the intersection of people who have different feelings about it and people who read stuff like mpreg and kid fic is interesting. I remember when I was releasing my omegaverse hannigram comic, and on tumblr there were some folks who were SURE that I was going to make it so Will could have a baby later, but it was never my intent and I thought that was fine. Some couples don't or can't and it's fine. But for a lot of folks, when pregnancy is introduced in a story, it must come to term and produce a child with a name and personality and we have to decide who is daddy and who is papa or else it's an unhappy story, and I don't think that's same for everyone reading or writing these stories. But I haven't read about that, or seen a lot written about it.

ANYWAY haha, there's an original color and an alternative color; I like the original but when I was experimenting I thought this other version was neat.

Content warnings: not p/orn, anti-birth sort of, uterine imagery, imagery related to infant death, religious tones, genital swap, I genuinely don't know what to tag this for, please yell at me if I need to add more tags, I really almost didn't post this I'm so stressed it's gonna upset someone but I really hope I'm overthinking it D:

It kinda reminds of of the tarot card the lovers but with trans lovers. Idk it’s just really pretty honestly and seeing trans rep in art is super cool <3 I love you’re art

Very valid take, but I will say that a lot of the ABO I've read on Ao3 as well as some I've written has Alphas, Betas, and Omegas of all genders. Male or female. And I prefer it that way. At least for me, since I'm FTM, I use m/m ABO as a way to explore myself and transness in a way that makes it more comfortable. That being said, I can totally understand why some people don't like it or have problems with it. I respect that it's not your cup of tea, I just wanted to note that, while perhaps not frequent, some of us do totally include and/or write about women in our ABO universes c:

This is actually so cool I love it and would buy it as a print

Luna_de_maria

i'm so grateful for your content because i also LOVE omegaverse but am absolutely repulsed by pregnancy/birth both in fiction and IRL. so it's nice to indulge in the porn without the ~having babies happy ending~ that so much other omegaverse fics and art have <3

simrell

This piece is very pretty and well drawn. Your omegaverse Hannigram is actually what made me watch Hannibal lmaooo I’d read Wayfinder and then was fortunate enough to get my hands on it. I’ll say for sure it messed me up when what happened happened, but, it was super symbolic and beautifully written.

i think this is really cool. the flat colored one really speaks to me. i had to save it.

This is amazing!! Also, I feel you about the pregnancy thing, the a/b/o universe can be fun but i just am not too much a fan of pregnancy in general. Don't worry about offending people okay? I think this culture of no one is allowed to make mistakes and learn from them in a healthy way is so stressful and toxic, people make you feel like the worst person because it doesn't fit perfectly into their moral mold. Anyway, art should be challenging, it should spark conversation, you don't need to justify your reasoning and be preemptively apologetic for exploring different topics.

cecil chop

Incredible, incredible, I'm so glad you posted it, I love it I'd get a print of it in a heartbeat *__* I v much id with/agree w some of the explanation/inspiration behind it as well! Especially the part about how when pregnancy appears in a story, it HAS to be completed otherwise it's unhappy.

Eli

This is a beautiful piece and I am so glad that I get to see it, I feel so connected to the image on a mental and body level

Neoeva122

Thank you so much for sharing this, it's incredibly beautiful and I love your thoughts behind it. I really liked you didn't make Will have another pregnancy in the comic and I absolutely feel the same way about what you said.

This is pretty amazing! I am definitely on the boat that I will read mpreg but I want nothing to do with it when it regards me.

Megumibish

man I wish my donor was the carrier xD beans makings me so nauseous >.> though they were mooning the scan tech yesterday so at least I know their mine

IRL pregnancy and birth unsettle me, and I’ve known since I was a kid that even though I am biologically capable of experiencing these things, they are not for me. However, I love omegaverse and mpreg, and they actually help me understand why others might embrace these experiences. I appreciate this representation of a complex, fraught biological and social event.

RMB

You’re not along in feeling squicked by pregnancy... 😑 That said this is beautiful and I love the colors and positioning. Excellent balance

I am beyond happy your shared this with us. I adore the first one with the brighter colors. This really envoked a certian amount of emotions for me, I'm at the age and the life milestones where my family is really pressing me to start a family. But really I just want to be married atm. My body is more than just it's biological functions. Seeing the umbilical cords really pushes this peice for me, coupled with the hidden faces. Definitely would want a print, especially if it had some shimmer or gold leaf in it.

Aleesha

I’m truly stunned by how lovely this piece is. It’s super dramatic, and the color schemes you chose are lovely. Fun fact, I viewed this in a specific way, as I was raised catholic, and we’re essentially programmed from a young age (or at least my congregation was) to view sex as just a means of reproduction, and not something that should be enjoyed beyond having babies. So that’s exactly how I interpreted this pic. (Thankfully tho, no one in my family lives by that philosophy anymore, lol)

Aki Glancy (EmpathP)

I think the desire to create and start a family is a strong desire for many humans. Also, love the colors and the way the man and woman hide their faces. I have always loved the way you draw snakes and backgrounds.

Sierra McCutchen

I ADORE this so much

Jorassicworld

I was stoked you didn't end with him having a kid. I lo key hate breeder culture and people's obsession with reproducing, so I was glad you didn't pander to it quite frankly. This is gorgeous, btw.

By Veidt

I’m so happy to see the comments here being so supportive and lovely because you deserve it! This art is as beautiful as it is deeply uncomfortable and I absolutely love that overlap of feelings. I echo other comments that said this should be in a museum (or a religious text like illuminated manuscripts!) thank you so much for sharing with us and I’m sorry assholes online almost made you too anxious to do so. Your art is truly a gift 💚

Bella S

bruh i feel you so hard. like i have a breeding kink but as soon as there's actual pregnancy or kids im like bai 🏃

mostlykatpartlyvoid

Side note: I have 2 kids (that I wanted to have and tried for months to conceive) and I don't like mPreg or kid fics at all (not reading and not writing them). I find the idea of two (or more) people living their lives HEA as amazing together as with a child, but I'd rather read about the former.

Carmilla Carmine

This is so powerful! If I'd seen it in a museum, I'd stop to stare and analyse it. Absolutely amazing 👏

Carmilla Carmine

listen, having grown up around farm animals, birth is d i s g u s t i n g. and i absolutely do not read abo for a myriad of reasons. i don't care if people fic/art it, just please tag it so i can filter it out, it's cool. i know it's popular, on ao3 about 80% of search results are hidden once i filter it! i'm convinced the whole thing is a progression of slash itself, the only option when there are only males onscreen. but then make them even more self-insert-able for the majority female audience and just give them female bodies/societal roles *grumbles something about internalized misogyny and continued grave underrepresentation of women in everything*. anyway, the art is beautiful, i really love the, i'm not sure what to call it, medieval tapestry color scheme you've been doing more recently. and the style, with the symmetry and layout, immediately made me think of a William Blake painting. specifically the ones referenced on Hannibal :DDD

Laura Stewart

as someone who finds pregnancy *kink* interesting and kinda hot, but would be actually terrified to ever get knocked up, I feel you.

Zari

yes, all of this, this is it exactly

Zari

Absolutely stunning

Elysa Gray-Saito

I stared at this for ten minutes now. It's amazing. Beautiful but also eerie, sacred and doomed. I absolutely love it.

ASSKISSER44

Wah!! the original looks so vibrant! ♡ I personally am fine with uh birth-ing? More or less just interested of the concept of having a child. Its interesting to see others point of views and opinions tho! As a transman I never really focused much of my body but did always want to become a parent once I'm sure I am able to care for one. Either it be biological or adopting, But since there is a chance of me never really having either of opportunity because of multiple reasons, this piece really made me feel a lot of things. The monotone color piece evoking more. Q_Q your art never ceases to amaze me ♡♡♡

Wow. This is amazing. The colours are beautiful It sort of reminds me of a William Morris flora design but with exciting fleshy bodies. So delicious 🤤

This is gorgeous

BuriedInTheArchives

Thanks haha~ I'm checking with Inprnt to see if the content is acceptable, so it might be possible~

Reapersun

Thank you :)) I'm considering putting it on Inprnt, but I have to ask them to check the content first, so we'll see~

Reapersun

I definitely think a lot of people share these feelings :) Pregnancy stuff slips into full on horror mode for me pretty quick.

Reapersun

come hang with us on the /childfree reddit, friend

Laura Stewart

While I don't find the idea of birth squicky, I sure as shit don't wanna push a human out of me... Not my deal. Buuut reading and watching stuff about it fascinates me. That all said, love this art!

Alli C

This is a very beautiful piece

MintGreenMF

This is rad. I find birth squicky IRL but conceptually this piece is really cool. I think I prefer the brighter colored one, but the darker/flat colored one is neat too.

Kira

I’m in awe. Literally speechless— i kid you not, i would expect to see this in a museum

ch_ell

I get ya. As someone with the ability to give birth, that stuff terrifies me. Might be the fact that I have like nine siblings, or that I’m trans.... but I can’t ever see myself having biological children. Creating a whole person and giving up bodily autonomy for that long. I could never handle that mentally.

_its_my_best_

Ooooh, I love this.

Goodness, I love this! I would purchase a print of the variant color in a heartbeat!

nicoleslaw

This is an amazing piece! I’d kill for a print
